Opt in Forms

Make sure you have access to an opt in form creator and place opt in forms on your blog sidebars. You can do this by using a blog template that has the capability for editing and creating widgets. Blogger and Wordpress are great options.

Generate different opt in forms for your affiliate links and valuable free information. Be sure to check out your statistics and sign up rate and adjust or edit your opt in forms for better conversion rates. A system like Aweber has many different opt in templates at a very low cost.

Call to Action

When you create a blog post, a video or any new content on your blog make sure you have a call to action telling your viewers where to go to get more great content or more information. Without a call to action, you might be missing out on leads that like your content but do not know where to get more of it. Your call to action could be to check out your facebook page for a free eBook or subscribe to your YouTube channel for a free marketing video. Make sure there is something valuable to offer your viewers in your call to action.

Videos

Having videos on your blog is becoming more popular and the word Vlogging (video-blogging) is more common. Videos allow you to show prospects that there is a real person behind your products and business and it will make you and your brand more legitimate. Using videos, you will be able to engage others and gain quality and loyal leads in the long run.

Another secret to having videos on your blog is that you will be able to engage your viewer for more time than a regular blog post. If you have engaged viewers going to your blog and staying there for longer periods of time, your blog will be better ranked in the search engines.

These are just a few tips for generating more leads online with blogging. Implementing these techniques will grow your following, visitors and lead opt in conversions.

Good luck
