Successful Internet marketers rely on great lead generation campaigns. The value of a list of names and email addresses is so huge that you should be concentrating on growing your list every single day.

The traditional lead generation campaign staple is the squeeze page, of course. If you create one of those, and send traffic to it by whatever means, you will undoubtedly lock in some hot prospects.

Or, will you?

Where are you pulling leads from? If your lead generation campaign is relying on some free traffic sources, you may not be gathering the leads you want. Traffic exchanges, safelists, and giveaway promotions are full of other business owners, looking for free information and free advertising because most of them have no money to spend. People with no money are not buyers.

Be sure that your customers are interested in your niche and are targeted to exactly what you have to sell, and there are solid ways you can do that. Article marketing, blogging, forum posting, and press releases are all free forms of traffic that you can use to build a better list. And if you have some money, try pay-per-click or ezine advertising and send all of the traffic to your squeeze page. It’s a much better way to build your lead generation campaigns.

Once you have a sizable, responsive list, you can attract joint venture partners with similar list sizes and build your list even larger. Ad swaps are great because you’re having your partner introduce your stuff to their list, giving it credibility even though most of the people on your partner’s list will be completely new customers. Your joint ventures won’t be successful if your list isn’t responsive, so take care with the list you create.
