When most people join a home business opportunity they are told to work on their prospect list. The prospect list is a potential list of people that you want to contact about your home business opportunity.
In the old days of network marketing a prospect list consisted of anyone and everyone you could remember from your past. It started with your relatives, then your best friends, and then he began to really dig deep into your past listing names of people that would remember who you were.
This was okay because initially, they did not know why you're going to be contacting them. Over time as you hopped from one opportunity to another they began to know why you calling them.
Today, you don't have to worry about that because the Internet will do all of your list building for you. You can contact as many people as you want and follow up with these leads once you have control of them.
We are not talking about buying leads and calling them up either. What we are talking about is using landing pages to create curiosity, and then follow up with people via an email autoresponder.
The more leads you have the better off you will be. Building a home business on the Internet is a numbers game to a certain extent.
This is not to say that you couldn't ask for phone numbers from your leads as well as their name and -mail address when they are filling out a short form online.
Some people prefer to follow by telephone, and that's perfectly acceptable if a person is contacting you or agreeing for you to contact them.
However, if you want to speed the process up and really automate things, using an autoresponder to do all of your follow-up is a great way to go. You might even sort the leads by requesting that serious individuals email you back with their phone number or call you directly.
However you choose to do it you want to get own leads online. Learn how to create a subscription for them and a landing page that attracts curiosity and then promote the heck out of it all over the Internet.
You can promote it via traffic exchanges, article marketing, classified advertising, discussion forums, blogging, social networking, and so on.
If you are not familiar with how to do any of these learn one, master it, and spend most of your time promoting it until you are getting the amount of home business leads that you want.
