How to Generate Free Leads at LinkedIn

Generating free leads online can be a great way to get more customers and referrals for your business. As a business owner or network marketer you are probably already know that Facebook and Twitter are great places to generate free leads. But did you know LinkedIn is another great place to generate leads and expand your warm market?

Compared to Twitter and Facebook, LinkedIn is more professional and has higher quality people. The website has over 100 million users and the average income of the users is $100,000 or more.

Since LinkedIn is more professional than other social networking sites there are some rules you need to follow. The webinar below by Jaime Soriano does a great job of explaining the proper way to use LinkedIn to generate free leads. (When I watched this webinar I couldn't believe all the great and useful information that was given out for FREE).

Remember no matter what social networking sites you use to get leads it takes time. It will be worth it if you take the time to do it the right way. So be patient and learn as much as you can about generating leads online.

Have You Heard of Tumblr?

If you are looking for a FREE blog website that is different from Blogger and Wordpress, you might want to check out a new website called Tumblr. I'm not sure how long it's been around but Tumblr is a little similar to Facebook and Twitter. Your homepage is sort of like a news feed and you can add followers.

I'm still new to Tumblr so I don't know a lot about it but what I like the most about it is you can reblog people's posts. If you own a business this can be very beneficial because if you have interesting posts and several people have reblogged your posts this could easily turn into viral marketing. I'm still testing it out to see if I will get any good results from Tumblr.

To see what Tumblr is check out my Tumblr blog:
