For Low Cost Lead Generation the way that I'm teaching you how to do it (article marketing) I recommend you utilize youtube social media to promote your article and blog.
I know that it seems hard to a lot of beginning marketers, and even more advanced marketers don't feel very cozy having the camera pointed at themselves. Not to mention the fact that some people think they have to have fancy programs for making presentation style videos... but if you're just getting started and stage fright is an issue, and money is tight then you can try this what I'm about to show you.
Video Promotion for Low Cost Lead Generation Article Marketing:
1. Open your blog or MS PowerPoint and take a screen-shot.
2. Take your screenshot and crop it using MS Picture Manager.
3. Open Windows Movie Maker and import your screen-shot.
4. Drag the screen-shot into the time-line and make it about 30 seconds long.
5. Narrate your time-line.
You'll say something about your new article and what you're teaching in it.
6. Save the windows movie maker project as a movie file.
7. Upload your new video to youtube.
Pretty easy right?
If you think you can't do that then I really don't know how to help you. This is the easiest way to make a quick video for that I've been able to find. People generally already have the tools they need right on their computer.
The only thing you might be lacking is a way to record your voice. So just pop over to your local electronics store, walk straight up to a sales person, and tell them you want a USB Headset for recording audio onto videos.
He or she will be able to walk you right over to the best thing. An average quality headset like this generally ranges between 30-50 dollars. Grab one, even if it hurts a little, then get back to your desk and start producing article after article to get this thing done.
I want to see you making money within your first month or so, so please don't dink around. This is low cost lead generation - meaning your tools are low cost and the marketing is free.
Some people who have trouble affording 30-50 dollars for a headset might consider any family members who have electronics and see if you can borrow theirs for a couple of months. That might just be the thing for you.
If you're ready to get to work, but you think you don't know what to say try saying something like this:
Hello there! This is (Your Name). I've just finished writing an article about (the title of your article) breaking down how to (what you're teaching about specifically). If you need some help learning how to do that then you need to come on over and see this article right away.
That's it. 20-30 seconds. Shorter is okay. Just be friendly and confident!
