Lead generation
Hi Guys, I'm hoping you're all coping with these unusual times and trying not to get you down, mentally, financially and spiritually.
You may know, my thing is Lead Generation and I have collected 6 very good sources of genuine, unique, human subscribers. I investigate any new ones and if they don't cost too much are repeatable, consistent and of high quality, ie seekers not tyre kickers, I test, test again and add to my arsenal.
I'm about to take up a new position in the ranks of approved affiliates for a well known marketer and I will need all these sources and more. I may be afk from time to time, but I will pass on any useful tactics, systems and experiences to you all.
I have been struggling lately with focus, clarity and enthusiasm, I must admit. But a friend in my field gave me a program to check out which he said had helped him enormously. I was a bit skeptical but I looked into it and he was right! If any of you are suffering from and emotional slumps, I may have something for you...
I have a special gift :-)
I've managed to arrange a special 19-minute audio MP3 that "reprograms" your brain for wealth.
It removes your subconscious blocks, and installs abundant thought patterns into your brain.
In short, it'll turn you into a success magnet...
All you have to do is listen.
Oh, and the audio it sells for $49.95 -- but is 100% FREE for you all today..
I'm recommending this because if you're like me it's very difficult to find the time to meditate and this program gives you the benefits of meditation without the tedious task of quieting your mind. Even if you can find a peaceful place to do it. But with this all you have to do is listen!
Anyway I'm sure you will check it out. Don't forget the new email if you need to get in touch.
Here's a list of traffic generation ideas, I'm sure you've tried most of them and it's because they work!
