Shadow Influencers: Make a list of every influencer you know, whether it’s an expert in marketing, sales, insurance, Medicare, or the local news, that you would like to be associated with due to their accomplishments and notoriety. Then find and follow them on social media, liking and sharing their posts and participating in conversation on their channels. This will pave the way for reciprocity, encouraging them to like and share your content in return, which may exposes your brand to additional consumers in their networks.
Create a YouTube Video: People learn by watching, not just by reading—especially in this digital age where flashy visual technology has curbed the consumer attention span. Equipped with your laptop’s built - in webcam, create a quick video (no longer than 3 minutes) introducing yourself to your consumer audience while talking about your process for helping clients. This virtual face - time will inspire trust and help convert site visitors into leads.
Developing a website might seem difficult on the surface. You know that some website development companies cost thousands, 10’s of thousands, or even 100’s of thousands of dollars to build a site. You might also think you need to know a bunch of computer code in order to build a great site. That is nonsense. I personally know a little tiny bit of HTML and CSS, but I’m even using that less and less over time.
Create a Pinterest Account: Although it’s not one of the top four foundational social media channels, Pinterest can supplement your marketing efforts by showcasing the pictures and infographics your business is creating, and “pinning” valuable content and ideas from other influencers. Build a following and harness leads by linking photos to your site and having call - to - action phrases embedded in the photos that inspire lead conversion.

Perhaps the only real way to reach free leads is to network with other, more experienced marketers, and perhaps get them to share their lists as a way to get you off the ground.

After you run your search, you should have several association sites that fit your search terms. Select one and click on it. You will most likely be on the page of the site that contains the member's directory because you requested that as part of the search. If not, then look on the site for a link that says something like "members" or "directory" or "directory listing" and once you find that link or button, then click on it.
As a last resort, you could try cold calling by phone. This is probably the most depressing and soul destroying activity on the planet. Even if you get past the usual questions such as ‘If you’re selling something – I’m not interested’ and ‘How did you get my number?’ you need a really slick and professional script and the ability to recognize and avoid lonely old ladies who just want to interact with someone, anyone, in fact.
