Timeframe for Success Using Lead Generators

April 03, 20244 min read
If you could get one thing more of today (besides sales), what would it be? More leads, right? There's a lot of different strategies to reach your goals, which one will work the fastest to generate more leads in less time? That's what we're doing today. Checking out which one of these bad boys is gonna give you more bang for your buck leading to success using lead generators.

Content Marketing (3 - 6 mo)

Content Marketing, blogs, posts, videos, reels, stories,

Reels, stories, and posts, OH MY! We're also talking blogs, ebooks, infographics, videos and whatever else you can create to attract your audience. If you've got a story to tell, you can make a killing organically marketing yourself with content. The key is quality, not necessarily quantity -- although making enough doesn't hurt.

Time up front can be intense. Expect to spend anywhere from a few hours to several days crafting high-quality content. Keep at it consistently and you'll see returns within 3 to 6 months using these lead generators. Remember, you're not just trying to gain traction, but build authority and brand awareness... That, dear friends, takes time.

Email Marketing (1 - 3 mo.)

Email Campaigns, direct marketing, building relationships

Email marketing begins with a lead generator, otherwise how're you going to get those emails? (Unless of course you buy them 🤨). But once you've got them, it's time to nurture leads by building a relationship with each person and driving them toward conversion. This series of emails needs to be authentic, enticing, and engaging. Be relevant to their lives or they'll drop you like yesterday's influencer!

Expect to spend several days to weeks just writing and crafting the emails, before launching these lead generators. You should begin seeing results within 1 to 3 months, and if your email engagement increases, you can lead them through a sales funnel or booked call, and conversions can occur.

Search Engine Optimization - SEO (3 - 6 mo)

DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

SEO, Search Engine Optimization, Web Crawler, first page, searchable

I cannot stress how important this is to you and your business. Search engine optimization (SEO) plays a critical role in driving organic traffic to your website and capturing qualified leads through improved search engine rankings. Putting in place decent SEO strategy means doing your homework for keywords, on-page optimization, content creation, link building, and technical optimizations (faster loading, easier for the search engines to crawl through, no dead links, no duplicate content, etc...).

Don't think SEO is a one and done, because it's not! You'll continually be fine tuning that machine. As the world changes and evolves, so must your site. Lead generation with SEO can help you start seeing incremental improvements within 3 to 6 months as search engines find your site and starts listing it. The goal is to get it on the first result page of the search engine, because people rarely go beyond it. But the good news is, if you keep adapting your SEO, you can can keep growing organically, bringing in new leads all the time.

Paid Advertising - (Days to Weeks optimally)

Paid Ads, marketing strategy, pay per click, fast strategy, ads strategy, marketing opt-in

One way to shortcut the system is through ads. You can reach your specific audience quickly through targeted ads on search engines, social media platforms, and other digital channels.

But before you go down the ads road you'll need to:

  1. Know who your ideal customer is and what their needs are.

  2. Pick/create the right images/video.

  3. Write clear and compelling copy.

  4. Set a successful budget.

While paid advertising can give you fast results in the form of website traffic and lead generation, the time it takes for a positive return on investment can vary depending on the ad budget, competition, targeting, and campaign optimization. Businesses may see initial results within days or weeks, or it can be longer. It takes time for the ai to learn exactly your right audience, even after you target them. The great news is, if it's done right, you should see results pretty quickly.

So there it is.

Successful lead generators require a strategy, consistent effort, and patience to get decent results. And while the time it takes for seeing a return on investment can vary depending on the strategy used, businesses who see this as an investment, will reap the rewards of continual growth, increased brand visibility, and a steady influx of decent leads. If you understand the potential outcome, you can make a killing in conversions!
