Review of the Traditional Methods to Source Leads to Grow Your Dubli Business

Dubli will soon be launching its international shopping platform. Dubli with all its great shopping attributes such as; guaranteed lowest prices, new big brand items with factory warranties and lowest unique bid auctions, will soon become super popular amongst the established home shopping networks such as Japan and among those looking to grow a work from home business, with a seemingly once in a life time ground floor opportunity to be amongst the first to promote and educate others about Dubli.If you decide to take up the amazing business opportunity that Dubli represents then you are at first going to be pretty excited by the opportunity you have but will then you need to have a network of other people to share this information and opportunity with. You will need like-minded people that you can personally introduce to the fun Dubli shopping experience and give them some complimentary Dubli shopping credits so they can themselves experience Dubli first hand. The shopping credits are used to be able to reveal the discounted prices of items they are interested in (each time this happens the price is reduced by 25 cents) or to place a bid on Dubli's lowest unique bid auction.This article is a review of three of the traditional and relatively inexpensive methods that you can use to promote your Dubli business.1/ Make up a list of all the people you know (friends, relatives, work mates, etc) and call them on the phone and ask for the opportunity to show them the Dubli website while they are in front of their computer. This is a difficult method as theses leads are all what they refer to in MLM as "cold leads". They are probably not looking for an opportunity right now and probably will find your level of excitement about this opportunity off putting; however they may humor you by letting you at least show them the website and send them some free credits. They may then at the very least become a shopper that may remember to use the website the next time they are looking to make a purchase on-line. This exercise may however cause some disharmony amongst your circle of influence and you may regret having ever put yourself out there to have even asked them in the first place. This may be a not so good start to your Dubli business experience (as it was for me) and such it may quickly erode your excitement, enthusiasm and confidence.2/ Purchase Leads: You may decide to purchase leads from a company that specializes in providing this service. These leads are generally generated from on line advertising where an interested person opts-in with their contact details to then receive more information about a work from home business opportunity. You need to make sure that the company selling you the leads guarantees that a certain percentage of the leads will be good (not having used bogus information when registering) and such are able to be contacted. These are "warm leads" as the person has at least shown an interest in receiving the sort of information you want to share with them. These leads may be relatively expensive e.g. 100 leads for $300Aus but if the leads result in you expanding your customer base or number of Business Associates it may be money well spent.3/ Printed Material: You may try putting up flyers at your work place or on the public notice boards in your local community or place a classified advertisement in the local newspaper. Flyers are generally an ineffective way to get your message across. Firstly you will be lucky to even find a notice board at work that you are allowed to use and any community notice board (if you can still find one) will probably be crammed full of out of date flyers (no one usually comes back to take down their flyer) and such are largely ignored by anyone passing by. Most local councils now use littering by laws to prohibit the placing of flyers under a vehicles windscreen wiper blade. It is worth checking first with your local council as you may be surprised as I was to learn that it is a hefty fine for each offence i.e. per leaflet!Newspaper advertising has been on a gradual decline for many years now as a result in the declining numbers of newspaper sales. If you use a local newspaper (the local rag is generally the most affordable newspaper option) you may be disappointed by the response that may be little more than a few "tire kickers" that ring you up for the quick run down then say they will call you back but never do. As you are paying by the word, your budget may limit you to the number of words you can afford or the number of days the advertisement will run. It is very difficult to give any more then just a snippet of your business opportunity in 10 to 15 words.Part two of this review will look at some of the newer methods of utilizing Social Media to grow your Dubli Business.
