5 Free Methods For Getting Leads And Sales

Getting leads and sales is the aim of anyone who wants to start a business, if you can not make money and have a positive cash flow, you are not in the business.

In this post, I will share things you need to do to get leads get sales every day, and increase your profit on your online business.

Things you need to do before generating leads

You need three things before generating leads and making sales: the lead magnet, the landing page, and an offer.

Lead Magnet

Create a lead magnet offering immediate value (e.g., cheat sheet, checklist, template, free guide, free training, newsletter, etc).

To create a lead magnet you need to figure out what solution you are offering to your audience, study your audience, figure out what the problem is, and create a lead agent that will fix this issue.

The lead magnet should concentrate on fixing one issue, it should be practical and straight to the point, you can use Artificial Intelligence to create a lead magnet.

Action Step: Create a lead magnet and promote it via social media posts with a CTA for people to DM or comment to get access. This is one of the more obvious methods, everyone teaches this, but that’s because it works!

Create the landing page

To build an email list you need to create a landing page, this is the page that you can use to promote your lead magnet and ask people to provide you their email address so that you can send them the lead magnet, this is how you collect email.

The main function of the landing page is to get people to give you an email address and get the lead magnet, it needs to be simple and straight to the point.

Practical tip: The headline of your landing page should be either increasing or decreasing with the time frame and removing the main objective.

For example, you can say how to lose 10 pounds in 21 days without spending hours in Gym.

This headline has all the elements, it promises the decrease ie losing 10 pounds and it has a time frame, of 21 days.

How do you create a landing page for free?

I use systeme.io to create landing pages. You can create up to three for free. Create your free account here.

I created two landing pages, one for a money online niche and another for a weight loss niche, two of the popular niches in the market. Click on the image of each landing page to download them.

Action step: Download one of the two landing pages above or create your own.

Get an offer

People who are joining your email list want to fix their issues, if you are not offering something to help them then you are not doing them or you any favor.

You need to an offer that can be presented in front of your new subscribers, this can be a service you provide, a product you have, or an affiliate offer.

The most important thing you need to know about this offer is that it should help your prospects to fix their issue faster and easier.

The same solution you were helping them to fix with the lead magnet, but this time easier and faster, this could be a course, a done-for-you package, or coaching.

Action Tip: Find or create an offer that will help your prospect to fix their problem easier and faster.

Create A social media account

I said you need three things because I assumed you already have a social media account, but if you do not have you can create one, these methods will work in any social media, like Instagram, X, TikTok, Facebook, etc.

After creating your social media account in your favorite company, you need to get the landing page link and add to your description, something like, I help people to lose weight, or I help people to generate leads, etc, this needs to be identical to the headline of your landing page.

What are the 5 Free Methods For Getting Leads And Sales?

Now you have the three things you need, it is time to start promoting your landing page, and getting some leads and sales.

The 50 Cent Strategy

This method has nothing to do with 50 Cent the rapper. It’s called the 50 Cent strategy because every time you give your opinion it’s your “2 cents” and we want to do this 20 times a day if you can.

You need to engage with larger accounts on social media(in and not in your niche).

Just comment with REAL opinions and thoughts on big account’s posts. You will get new followers, new profile visits, and subscribers.

You don’t HAVE TO be controversial but don’t be afraid to say something that no one else is willing to say. Attention is attention.

Action Step: Identify 10 popular accounts to reply to consistently to drive traffic to your profile and newsletter. (Think popular podcasts, influencers, product owners, etc).

The Friend request method

Go on Facebook, find a group where your ideal customers/ subscribers are, and send those members friend requests.

You can do this on TikTok/ Instagram and LinkedIn too. Just follow people, they will look to see who you are and some will follow you back.

Some of these people will accept your request and will see your profile and your future posts giving you more opportunities to reach them.

It sounds crazy… but this is one of the best ways to surround yourself with ideal prospects.

Action Step: Follow or send 20 requests per day, do not go overboard with this method, if you follow a lot of people per day, most social media companies will ban you for spamming.

Guest Posts in Other Newsletters/ Articles

This is one of the most underrated methods to generate leads and sales. many people have email lists or blogs.

You can start by finding people who are in your niche and pitch them to write in their blogs for free in exchange of you including a link to your landing page.

If the content you have is good many people will accept this because it is free content for them, some might want to charge you a small amount of money to do this, but if they are getting a lot of traffic you can do this and get some of that traffic to your landing page and then generate leads and sales.

Another way that I did when I started is to find someone in your niche, who is at the same stage as you and offer them a swap, you write an email and that person sends it to their subscribers and they do the same.

If you do this in the right way, you can generate a lot of leads and sales in the shortest amount of time.

The DM method

I used this method when I was promoting ClickBank products about numerology. What I would do is I would follow a lot of people on Instagram, and then 24 hours later I will start sending them direct messages promoting my landing page.

There are many software that will do auto dm for you, this method works but it is spammy and it might get your account banned, so try it at your own risk.

Action Step: Find 10 big pages and pull at least 100 leads a day into a pipeline that leads to you DM’ing them.

The Tiktok and Pinterest Method

This method works best if your lead magnet and the offer are targeting female-dominated niches, which can be decorating, weight loss, dating, recipes, etc.

For this to work you need two accounts, one from Pinterest and another from Tiktok.

You will go on TikTok and find viral videos in your niche, get the link to that video, and download them without a watermark using a free tool.

You are going to re-upload the videos on Pinterest, these are called idea pins, under the description of the video, you are going to write a short description and and a link to your landing page.

If you do this 3 times a day in a month you will have more than 180 videos and these videos are enough to drive traffic to your landing page, which will generate leads and sales.

Key Takeaways: 5 Free Methods For Getting Leads And Sales

I used all five methods to generate leads and sales for my business, I tried these methods in astrology, numerology, weight loss, make money online and they worked in all of them.

The key here is not to try all of these five methods at once, is to pick one that is related to your niche and try it out, for example, if I were in a weight loss niche, I would go with Pinterest or Facebook. If I were in Astrology or Numerology, I would go with TikTok or Instagram and to make money online niche probably I will choose X.
