Here’s where you can utilize your connections you’ve made in your market. You can ask to have your product promoted on their website or social media platform. This is great for those products or services that can fit this model, however if your business can not scale to this, it is not for you.
SEO (search engine optimization)
SEO is a great way to maximize your online presence. Google is by far the best marketing tool, so optimizing your SEO for traffic is vital, however be sure not to “overdo” it because you may get dinged by google for being over optimized.
Cold Leads – Emails and Calls

Focus on creating a campaign that will have better chances for good open rates. Alternatively, if you are on a cold call, it’s important to do some research about your prospect so that you can draw out key factors about the prospect in your call. Utilize LinkedIn and Google as they can be a great source for leads.
