Online Marketing Classes – Top 20 Lead Generation Techniques

Online marketing classes often present lead generation techniques, but typically only discuss one or a handful.  But I want you to know that there is a wide spectrum of alternatives for you.  And remember, if you are new to online marketing, just master a couple or three.  I recently wrote my recommendations of techniques for newcomers.  Here is a list of the 20 most popular techniques.  Think of this list as the desert tray at your favorite resaurant!

So, here it is:

Top 20 Lead Generation Techniques (in no particular order)

o  Blogging
o  Article Marketing
o  Social Bookmarking (yes it can generate leads)
o  Hub Pages
o  Squidoo Lenses
o  Video Marketing  (one of my very favorite)
o  Twitter Marketing
o  Facebook Marketing  (excellent for age 25 plus)
o  Audio Marketing (mp3, podcasts, audio e-books)
o  Forum Marketing
o  MySpace Marketing
o  Directory Marketing
o  Press Release Marketing
o  Banner Advertising
o  Ezine Advertising
o  Facebook Advertising
o  PPC Advertising (Google, Yahoo)
o  Free Classified Advertising (online & offline)
o  Radio Advertising (powerful if used right)
o  Newspaper, Trade Journal & Magazine Advertising

Okay, if you’re a purist, I admit that the last two are essentially offline techniques.  But they are still very powerful.
