It is a herculean task for SMB or startups to generate leads with limited budget. We have to be very careful in Marketing ROI.

Seo is the best way for greater ROI. But it will take considerable amount of time to optimize. For short term you can rely on Google Adwords. Still Google Adwords depend on properly optimized landing page. Seo can’t be ignored at any stages.

Having worked in a startup company and to deliver results with very limited budget, I always experimented free resources to generate/experiment lead generation.

Initially tried Google Adwords using their INR 2000 promotional credits if we spend INR 500. This gave me enough time to experiment and optimize keywords for conversion.

Similarly researching for some other platform to experiment the lead generation possibilities with free credits.

Recently LinkedIn offered $50 (INR 3500) credits to try their ad platform. Initially I have spent certain thousands which resulted only in increasing page followers. So concluded that I can use Linked In free credits for only brand promotion and it will not help in lead generation

But LinkedIn is the best way to reach the decision makers with right message. I was wondering how to crack this.

Recently LinkedIn has come up with a new features call lead forms. It allows the marketer to attach lead form in their business ads. The user don’t want to fill their details for any enquiry. Just a click of a button will pull out information from their profile and deliver it to the marketer.

This new feature has increased my conversion rate morethan 100%. It has given me ROI greater than google adwords.
