In my last article I talked about the Home Business System that will work for any business anywhere in the world.

And today I wanted to talk about the first step in the system “Leads.”

Everyone wants more leads into their business but how do you get more leads into your home based business?

I personally prefer internet home based businesses.  If you watch our family video “Interested in Starting a Home Based Business” you’ll hear why.

So step one getting more leads is all about Market Research.  And Market Research on the Internet is all about finding the keywords that people search for the most.   With the least amount of competition.

In fact I prefer 80 searches a day with less than 30,000 competing pages.

How do I figure this out?

You can do this for free by using the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, finding the keyword that has the amount of searches you need, then type that search phrase into Google in “quotes” and find the keyword that has less than 30,000 competing pages.

And do this over and over again until you find your main theme keyword and 3-5 category keywords.

And yes….doing this will take you a long time & some elbow grease.

OR you can use the tool that I use basically everyday that will do this for you in seconds.

That tool is called Market Samurai.  You can get a free trial of it by clicking here.

You just type in your main theme keyword and it brings up 200 related keywords to that.  Then you type in what you want, i.e. 80 searches a day and 30,000 competing pages and it shows you the exact keywords you will want to target on your website.

Once you discover the best keywords you then need to build a site around those keywords, optimize it to be found by the search engines, get links to that site and then you should be getting traffic (leads) to your home based business.

I first got interested in starting a home based business on the internet because I saw a video on YouTube by a guy named Derek Gehl.  I wrote about it in a post called “Why I Got Started”

I went to their website www.MarketingTips.com and signed up to their email list.

A couple months later I got a series of emails from Derek because a bunch of people challenged him and said all he does is run a company.  They said that he couldn’t actually do it himself.

So he had 4 days to do Market Research, Find a Product to Sell, Write Salescopy, Add a Payment Processor, and Get traffic.

A tough challenge…..

But using Bebiz he was able to do all of the above!

I had a few hundred dollars to start up a home business so I got Bebiz and worked through the process.

As a matter of fact…

When I signed up for Bebiz they were just ending a challenge.  I had like 5 days to do the same exact thing Derek did and using the Bebiz step by step system I was able to get it done!

And I won the challenge!

Here’s a video about how to sign up for Bebiz (they change the salesletter often…so it might not look the same now).

I personally think Bebiz is the best way to start a Home Based Business.  This is why…

• They walk you step by step through the whole process of finding a market & selling a product to that market
• You don’t have to know html to have a website up a running
• You don’t have to have hosting for a website
• You don’t have to know how to write salescopy
• And did I mention that they really, really, really walk you step by step through the process?
• They have a way to capture contact info
• OH…and the step by step process…they even have check boxes when you’ve completed the step

Now…once you’ve figured this stuff out.

I think it’s easier and cheaper to use a wordpress blog, hosted by Host Gator, to sell your stuff on the internet but Bebiz is the best way for someone who has never done anything like this before to start.
