I was doing some research today about generating leads. I came across some pretty good information. The one article listed several ways to develop leads and I thought I would name a few of them here.

There is of course any personal leads that you can have. This can be friends, family, co-workers, etc. Then the hope is that you will have many satisfied customers who will then tell people that they know about your business or whatever. Some of those individuals will hopefully become customers and then they will tell others about you and again the cycle continues.

You can also use "traditional" marketing/advertising methods in an attempt to generate leads. These can be things like your business card that you give to those who may be interested and that you post places, etc. You can use banner and text ads on other websites.

Depending on what you are trying to generate leads for you may want to advertise in local newspapers. Set up a booth at fairs and other large events where there will be a lot of people.

Good points here. But, those methods will definitey costs you alot of money.

In fact, most people are always looking for free advertising space nowaday. Why? Because they just don't want to throw in the investment before they see the returns. That's the reason why those free advertisement provider like adpost and many others are so pupular now.

There is another cost free method where people like to use here is to paste their ads outside the walking corridor along the public transportation station like bus stop or railway station. It's free and can attract people's attention.
