Internet Life Insurance Leads Tips And Strategies
Do you want to generate Internet life insurance leads
and Internet insurance leads successfully on your own. You can succeed at generating
leads locally and nationally on the internet. Even internationally.
The Secret
The number one secret to generating internet leads (I call it
a secret because most of the top ranked life insurance companies on the search
engines are not using this secret), is to create a content site. There
are other ways to generate internet life insurance leads, but if you really
want to get a steady flow of internet insurance leads, you should focus on
a content site.
The Second Secret
The second secret is to create a site that is rich with 'keywords'. Let
me explain the basics of what a content site is first, and then I'll get into
the basics of keywords after that. A content site is a site that contains
articles and information that relates to the topic you are discussing. So
in other words, to generate internet life insurance leads you have to create
a site about life insurance. Not a site about how to get life insurance from
you. This is what almost all the top ranked sites are doing (more on this
in a moment). You want to educate your internet life insurance lead (or your
internet prospect who enters you site.)
The Main Reason People Use The Internet
The main reason people look to the internet is to get information about the subject
they are interested in. They are not always interested in buying something instantly
on the internet. Especially insurance. The internet began as a research tool,
and people are using it in this manner more than ever. Imagine your prospect looking
up information on insurance. Who's site are they going to visit. The agent who
has all kinds of products for sale, or the agent who has various bits of information
on what insurance is, why people buy it, planning strategeis, and links to other
related information? So
if you can educate your internet prospect about life insurance, you will turn
that prospect into a hot internet life insurance lead and they'll eventually buy
from you.
The more relevant content you can provide, the higher you'll rank in the search
engines. You have to structure your site properly as well. I will provide a few
bits of information on this subject in this article, but there is a lot more you
need to do in order to get all the pieces right (more on this in a moment as well).
There are complete internet systems and manuals on this subject alone.
A website that is not structured properly will get a lousy score by the search
engines and you won't get any internet life insurance leads. So basically a content
site is just that. A web site that contains valuable, useful content your Internet
prospect is looking for. Your content also must be 'keyword rich.' In other
words, you want to put in the exact keywords into your website content that your
prospect is punching into their web browser. But you have to do it in a way
that search engines don't penalize you for what's called "keyword spamming."
A safe way to accomplish this is to write your information and insert the keword(s)
into it a little more often than you would if you were writing the article without
the exact keyword(s).
What keywords do you go after?
You can do research on the keywords with this software:
http://www.wordtracker.com/
and/or
http://www.goodkeywords.com/ Just sign up for the free trial version of WordTracker
and type in the keywords you think your prospects are typing in and you'll see
different versions and alternatives. You are going to type in "life insurance"
right? The first thing you'll see is that it's searched about 4,000 times a day
(at the time of this article). That's a lot of searches, and a lot of potential
internet life insurance leads. There's also a lot of competition for these
keywords. So the good news is that there are a lot of people looking for life
insurance information. The bad news is it will take time to rank high in the search
engines. But it won't take as long as you think. You may even want to dig down
deeper in the niche and build a content site on term insurance or universal life
insurance... OK, I'm getting ahead of myself. There's a bit you should learn before
you dive in, but if you want a great resources see the links at the bottom of
this article. Let's keep it simple for now...
Internet Life Insurance Leads...The Good News
The good news is that if you build a content site you will eventually rank higher
and higher in the search engines and you might even stay there. You might take
over the life insurance niche if you keep building it, and as a result you'll
be flooded with internet life insurance leads. Most of the companies that rank
high sell
products and do very little educating. So why do they rank high? Because
there are not a lot of content sites about life insurance. This is an opportunity
for you to knock them from the top because the search engines are looking for
content. Right now they don't have a whole lot to choose from so even the lousy
sites are getting internet life insurance leads. What if you just want local internet
life insurance leads? Why should you bother building a content site if you're
going to get a bunch of internet life insurance leads nationally that you can't
use?
Several reasons...
- You will build more credibility locally with a content site and you
can use it in your advertising.
- If you build it right and you get traffic you can sell advertising space.
- You can join affiliate programs that will pay you a commission for
referring people to their site and/or buy their products (HINT:link to products
related to insurance and financial planning.
- And you can sell leads to agents or lead companies outside of your
area.
WAIT! Whoa, I'm getting ahead of myself AGAIN. I don't have time to delve into
all of those extremely profitable realms in this article. So let me get back to
the keyword business. Like I said, the keywords "life insurance" has a lot of
competition. So here's how you begin to compete: Build your home page based upon
the keywords "life insurance". Now, see all the other keywords on WordTracker?
Term life insurance, universal life insurance, whole life insurance, etc.? Well,
write articles about those products and soon you'll get internet life insurance
leads.
Write A Few Articles Every Month...
Write articles on every subject you know of related to life insurance.
These articles should also have keywords that are being searched for on the search
engine (use WordTracker again). For example, look up "annuities." I bet there's
lot's of search engine power in that topic. In other words dig down and find article
subjects related to life insurance that has less competition. As a result you
get internet life insurance leads from these articles (or sub articles), and the
more traffic you get from these sub articles, the better the search engines will
rank you for "life insurance". And that means more internet life insurance leads.
I know it sounds sort of complicated. And it can be. But there are tools that
make it very simple. In this article I've discussed two of the more important
aspects of a successful website. But a teaching someone about building a successful
website is a lot like teaching someone about basketball. I can't teach you
about basketball if I only describe the two most important positions: Pointgaurd
and the forward. I would have to describe all the positions, strategy, and other
variables. Same with your website that will generate internet life insurance leads.
You need to have and perform each part the right way or you won't get as many
internet life insurance leads.
Sounds Like A Lot Of Stuff?
It may sound like a lot, but the time spent on it will be worth it. You'll
learn a lot and you'll be ahead of all the agents out there. If you don't have
time, hire someone to do it for you. Maybe a part-timer. But be sure they follow
all the rules of building a successful content site that ranks well in the search
engines and you'll be rewarded with internet life insurance leads. I have spent
several thousand dollars on tools because the more you learn, the more you think
you need to learn and you end up buying all kinds of stuff. BUT, I finally
found a software program that eliminates all this hard work and makes it all
much much easier. It does all the complicated stuff for you from building your
pages to forcing you to make them search engine friendly. All you have to
do is write and follow the system. No programming.
Its best feature might be the keyword research tool. It's similar to
WordTracker but much better because it does everything WordTrackers free trial
and more. But its best feature is it shows you the actual profitability of each
keyword. If you want to generate Internet life insurance leads, Site Build
It! is the answer. I didn't intend for this to be an ad or anything. But
I can't hide my enthusiasm. Site Build it! is awesome. I build this site using
it. I wish I new about it 4 years ago. I would have saved about $9,000!
