More free home business leads anyone?
If you are using a blog to market your business I can show you a super cool and easy way I used to dramatically increase the number of FREE home business leads I was getting.
Do I have your interest?
Before I start I need to explain something. I have a passion for WordPress blogs. It’s not just that they are free and so easy to use, the real reason I like WordPress so much is that Google loves WordPress. The instant I post a new entry it is immediately visible on Google’s search engines. And WordPress has literally thousands of useful and amazing plugins – ones that can bring you a lot of free home business leads!

Increase Your Free Home Business Leads With A WordPress Popup
STEP 1
So if you are not already using a WordPress blog, get yourself one now. The easiest way to install one is to go the cpanel of your website (usually at www.yoursitename.com/cpanel). Look for a utility called Fantastico. Click on it and inside you will see WORDPRESS. Click there and then in the next window click on NEW INSTALLATION. The slower way to install it is to go to the WordPress site, download it and then install it manually by using a free FTP client like FileZilla or my favorite, Cyberduck.
STEP 2
So now you now have your own WordPress blog. The next step to free home business leads is to install a plugin called WP Super Popup. Go to your WordPress back office, scroll down and on the left you will see PLUGINS, and just below it, ADD NEW. Click here. In your new window type in WP SUPER POPUP and press SEARCH PLUGINS. WP Super Popup will appear in the next window. Click on INSTALL NOW. Then click on ACTIVATE PLUGIN.
STEP 3
Now you have to design your popup and there are a number of ways to go here. You can use a lead capture page to start with. I am currently using the html code given to me by GetResponse, the company that provides me with email marketing software. Using a browser that allows you to view source code (try Firefox) go to your lead capture page and in the menu at the top click on VIEW and below on PAGE SOURCE. Select all the html code that appears in the next window and copy it. If you don’t have a capture page you can still create a text only popup. Skip to STEP 6.
STEP 4
Now you will need to use an HTML editor. I used a free one called NVU that I downloaded on the internet. Once in NVU look at the bottom and click on SOURCE. If you now see any code on the next page, delete it all. Then paste all the code you copied from your lead page in step 3. This code will contain all the information that connects to your autoresponders. Now click on PREVIEW (at the bottom of the page in NVU) and on that page you can edit out everything you don’t want on your popup. At the minimum you will want a header text and the form for filling in name, email and optionally, a phone number. Once you have completed editing, SAVE your document. It will look something like “yourfilename.html”.
STEP 5
Now you will need to upload your document to your website. I usually use a free program called an FTP client, like Cyberduck or FileZilla. You can also do this within your cpanel in the back office of your website by using FILE MANAGER. Your .html document is now on your website and can be accessed directly on the internet by typing in http://yoursitename.com/yourfilename.html.
STEP 6
Now the last step to free home business leads, adjusting the settings for your new plugin. Go into your WordPress back office. Below and on the left you will see SUPER POPUP. Click there. There are quite a few variables like how often to show the popup, its height and width, or whether you just want a simple text message. For the moment find POPUP CONTENT LOAD MODE. Now you will paste the web address of your newly designed content (http://yoursitename.com/yourfilename.html)
That’s it. Enjoy your free home business leads!
PS. This one strategy immediately doubled my free home business leads.
