One of the common question my clients ask, whether they are just starting their business or are in business for few years, is “How do I built my list to grow my business?”

So I wanted to take a minute to share some of the traffic strategies that are working very well for me.

1. Offer a free 15 to 30-minute consultation to new prospects. First people like free, but more they can sample your work. Contacts will have the ability to get to know you and see that you are THEIR problem solver. People won’t buy from you after you talk to them for just a few minutes at a networking even. After a free consultation they will get valuable information from you and they will be more willing to work with you and buy from you.

2. Enter all your contacts into a database. Don’t keep the business cards that you collect on a shelf but enter people information into your database. Set up a follow up system: send them your newsletter or schedule a series of messages via autoresponders. This will put your follow-up system on auto-pilot, so as soon as they sign up they will receive your messages automatically.

3. Cross promote your business with people who have the same target market as you. Contact people that you already know that have the same target market as you but are not your competitors. Set up an exchange in which you promote their products on your list while they promote your products on their list. You will suddenly have access to hundreds or thousands of people who have never heard from you before, and vise-versa. It is a win/win situation for both of you.

4. Do teleseminars with joint venture partners. Invite people to your calls to interview them about their business. It gives you credibility and it promotes your partner’s call list to you and yours to theirs. Again, with little effort you both advance.

5. Start an affiliate program. Encourage people to promote your products by giving them a commission. You can have an army of knowledgeable salespeople working for you without needing to train them. You just create sales text that they will copy and paste on their website, blog, newsletter or tweets. You don’t have to pay them until they made a sale. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain, including access to list of people that you don’t know who will become your new clients.
