What is lead generation?
Lead generation is when you refer prospective customers to a business. The business would then pay you for each lead you generate.
When done right, it’s a win-win situation:
- the business gets more quality leads that they can turn into paying customers
- you get paid for generating those quality leads
A common type of lead generation is Rank and Rent SEO.
For example, one of Ruan Marinho’s websites generates leads for painters in Connecticut…
Ruan Marinho
- Founder of Develomark
- $1.5k – $3k per month from one website
Ruan basically created a website that ranks highly for terms like…
- Painter in Connecticut
- Connecticut house painters
- Painters in CT
People googling those terms visit Ruan’s website and request a quote for the paint job they need doing. Ruan then forwards the request along to a local painter in Connecticut, who pays Ruan for each lead.
What kind of online business is lead generation?
Here’s how lead generation fits into our online business framework:
- Referral (Level 3)
The typical example here is the small website that ranks well for terms related to a local service, like the painters in Connecticut site described above. - Authority (Level 4)
Authority websites aim to be an authoritative source of information on a particular topic. They are like small referral sites on steroids, and can also be monetized via lead generation.
