Get into Action MODE

When I first started AmeriPlan, I went to the Marketing/Reference Library on the training site and started going down the list of lead generation ideas and trying everything so I could find my niche. A lot of new IBOs start with the following:

1. Business cards, postcards and flyers around town - Free business cards at www.vistaprint.com. You can find samples of Vista Print Cards and materials Here.




2. Car Magnets or lettering -
www.totalestickers.com or VistaPrint.com

3. Inexpensive Leads -
3-10 cent leads from www.selfserveleads.com (for full details of how to work these, let me know and I will send you more info)
4. Referrals/Warm Market - anyone you know who may want to work from home or needs benefits. If they don't need them, ask who they know who needs them.
5. Free Classifieds – www.oodle.com, www.backpage.com, www.classifiedads.com, Facebook Marketplace.
6. You will receive the best results from ads posted on www.Craigslist.com because the site has a massive amount of traffic. There is a very specific way to use Craigslist. And if you don't do it exactly, it will not work. Here are some tips:
- Don't post more than two ads per week - I like to post on Sunday night and Tuesday morning.
- Do not use your replicated site (www.freedomathometeam.com/yourusername) - If you do, you will get flagged, ghosted or deleted. If you want a website on the ad, you need to get a domain name. For example, mine is www.workwithprestige.com. I got mine from www.GoDaddy.com. I only pay $9 per year for mine but you can go even cheaper and get the .us for about $4 per year or .info for $1.99 per year.
- If you choose not to get a domain name, do not leave any contact information. At the end of your ad just write "For more information and to request an interview, please respond to post." And when you receive the email response from Craigslist, you will need to send them an email prompting them to visit your site and request an interview. When you are ready, let me know and I will forward you the email that I use. This method is fine but is very time consuming. Some people find it easier to just get a domain so they don't have to do this step. Completely up to you though:)
- Keep your ads short and to the point.
- Do not say "work from home." I always say "telecommute" or "must have home office setup"
- Do not say AmeriPlan. I usually start off with something like "Our company is looking for....."
Another little trick I have learned is to save the initial email from Craigslist that confirms that your ad has been posted. Then every Sunday night, go back to it, click on the link in the email and "Renew" your ads.

8. Social Networking Sites - Please visit our team site at http://careerandfreedom.homestead.com/90_Day_Challenge.html and look for the blog posts about Facebook Marketing and Cafemom in the sidebar on the right. Best part about social networking is that it's totally free!! You can use this to generate IBO leads AND member leads:) If you are already a member of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Cafemom, etc, you can let your friends know what you are doing and keep them up to date on there. You can place little advertisement blurbs in your status lines, design your page with AmeriPlan information, etc.


9. Initial E-mail Blast - There is a "Grand Opening" e-mail in the Marketing/Reference Library that you can send to your family and friends letting them know that you have started a business and let them know about what you are doing. I'm sure they know people or they themselves would like to work from home or need health benefits.

10. Free Postcards - Go to www.hbbleads.com and make up and account. Put postcard leads into your shopping cart, enter coupon code from daily training email, and checkout. The coupon code for this month is septpost. Your leads will arrive in a csv file within 24-48 hours. Go get “blank, pre-postaged postcards” from the post office and write on them by hand…….
