Share your Blog on Other Sites: If your blog adds value to illustrate a point about an insurance or health care topic being discussed on another website, don’t hesitate to share insights from (and links to) your blog in their comment sections. If you cater to bigger areas like entire or multiple states, leave a link to one of your blogs, along with a helpful explanation, on question - and - answer sites like Quora, Yahoo Answers, or even LinkedIn. Leverage other websites to display your expertise and funnel traffic to your site that may convert to leads. Plus, this doubles as a backlinking strategy.

Why? Brands don’t want their products and online reputation to be seen as spammy and low-quality. To empower social media junkies, most networks are instead allowing publishers to create “promoted social media posts”. These are posts that are created on social media sites, like Facebook. They are not posted on a private wall, or spammed across comment sections.
"We were working a series of daytime residential burglaries and developed a suspect. Our agency was relatively new to LeadsOnline and I was just starting to utilize some of the features. I created a person of interest of our primary suspect and within days I received an alert. The suspect actually went across the river 90 minutes away and into the neighboring state to sell this item to a business. Without the POI alert from LeadsOnline, we likely would not have known that this occurred. With that information, and along with other facts gained during the investigation, a search warrant was executed and numerous burglaries were closed across several jurisdictions. One burglary was even discovered before the victim was aware of it since they were out of the country for their honeymoon."
Offer Under - 65 Health Insurance: Getting certified to sell health insurance outside of the senior market isn’t hard. By opening yourself up to a new market of prospects, you provide extra value - added service to the younger referrals from (and maybe spouses of) your senior clients. Not only do you gain extra commissions this way, but you can start securing relationships with clients before they transition from under - 65 health insurance to Medicare.
Write a Whitepaper: A well - written whitepaper can instill trust and credibility by educating consumers about a given issue or challenge related to insurance, while positioning yourself or your services as a solution. More polished than the typical blog post, whitepapers present your expertise backed by facts, statistics, graphs and solid research to give consumers an in - depth, downloadable piece of content, usually 6 - 10 pages in length, to guide their buying decision.
If you’ve ever looked at your site analytics and yelled “what do you want from me?” you’re not alone. That’s why Inspectlet lets you analyze user activity via eye-tracking heat maps, screen capture, and user interaction analytics. You’ll be able to watch how users interact with your site and figure out where they may get confused. And then get to work fixing those areas.
Pursue Unlinked Brand Mentions: If you don’t already have a Google alert set up for your name and the name of your business, head over to Google and set that up. Then when your content is shared or mentioned on other sites, you can find them and politely ask them to link to your site, earning your site a valuable backlink and providing more information to their readers. Visit this Ahref’s blog post for a more comprehensive guide to this technique.
The best way to approach these Centers of Influence (COI) or referral sources is by sending a message to them stating that you saw their thread, that you are contracted with multiple carriers for cost and plan comparisons, that you have served that area for X - number of years, and include a link to your website. You should also leave your real name (since forum members often use screen names) and contact info (email address, phone number, LinkedIn profile URL, etc.) After sending the message, reply in the thread that you have “PM’ed the OP” (privately messaged the original poster) and you look forward to being a resource to them and their clients.
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.
Say I’m Sorry: We all have client relationships that ended badly. Looking to turn things around, revive an old lead possibly re - earn their commission? Reach out to them and tell them that you don’t like how things ended, and if there’s anything you could do to help them in the future, you are here for them – and then add them back to your mailing list for sending cards and newsletter.
The best way to obtain website traffic is through free search engine referrals. However, obtaining traffic from the search engines takes time. You should expect to create content for your site for about 6 to 12 months before the search engines really start showing you some love. In the meantime, there are so many other places you can obtain website traffic from. That’s what these tutorial videos will show you. Everything form creating email marketing lists to social media marketing and even how to write a blog post to increase how many people share it – it’s all there. This is the best tutorial section to go through first because it will lead to returns sooner.
Finally, copy the appropriate information into whatever type of format you have decided to use to organize your leads. If you are using a computer to gather leads, then you may be able to copy and paste the information right from the website. Otherwise, you'll need to go old-school and hand write the information and then input it into your computer.
We just talked about four ways for agents to GET so - called “free leads” in exchange for something, whether it’s an email address, a deposit, a cut in commissions, or a piece of advice for other agents. So if you can’t GET free leads without giving something in exchange, then how (or where) can you just FIND free leads without trading anything in return?
With all of this in mind, you also need to understand that affiliate marketing is not some get-rich-quick system. It’s a business. A real marketing business that will take some time to grow. All of the resources you need in order to succeed are listed above, but don’t expect overnight success. Give it a good 6 to 12 months and about 10 to 15 hours per week working on your business. If you do that, by this time next year, you should be an affiliate marketer yourself, at the very least making a nice secondary income. If not, in a year from now, you’ll be exactly where you are right now. Focus on the long-term and keep going with sustained effort. Of course, I’m always available as well if you ever want to contact me. I never charge a dime. 🙂
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.
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.
Include a FAQ On Your Site: When designing landing pages for the various products and services you offer, consider the top 10 most common questions a consumer might have before making a decision to buy or opt - in. This way, visitors don’t have to go to another website to look for more information; they can just peruse the answers to their questions without leaving your page.
When it comes to maintaining your presence on these channels, don’t make it harder than it has to be. Once you have your social media profile pages set up, try to post something once a week, whether it’s a news article about Medicare plans or life insurance trends, or a brag about how much money you saved a client by helping them find a better plan. You can even get a free account at Hootsuite and spend half an hour scheduling posts to share on your accounts at specified times during the next few weeks, instead of logging in every day—which frees you up to focus on selling insurance. Even if you post the same message on all of your channels in the beginning, at least you’re posting consistently, which is the true goal here.
This is something you should spend a lot of time researching before you dive in and write that first article. The tutorial videos you’ll find here are probably the most important videos you’ll watch. Even if you’re “not a writer”, they will show you how to create awesome content for your new affiliate marketing site. The tips and tricks in those videos is invaluable. Go through all of those videos… twice.
Set Up Retargeting: This is an advanced strategy that includes planting a tracking code on a page of content that places cookies in the visitor’s browser, which enables custom ads to be shown to your visitors while they’re on other sites, prompting and reminding them to act on your message or offer. While setting up retargeting is free, there is a cost associated every time someone clicks the ad.
"We recently had a theft of some jewelry. The suspect was a family member of the victim. I typed the information into LeadsOnline and not only did I get the jewelry back, I also had amazing evidence of the pawn transaction where the jewelry was exchanged for cash. Without LeadsOnline, we would not have been able to make an arrest or get the jewelry back to the owner. Thanks LeadsOnline!"

Each association member in the listing should have at least the name of the business, the address, and preferred phone number. This is the basic information that you will need to make contact with the prospect. However, you may find even more details about each association member such as website addresses, their social media handles, details about the best way to reach them, and the number of employees. Again, each site is different in terms of how the information is organized and displayed for each of its members.
But writing copy that’s optimized for search engines is only half the battle, because then you have to promote your content to make sure it gets found. Remember the social media channels we talked about earlier? Now is the time to share your content on those channels, along with other social bookmarking sites like Reddit and Scoop.it, to create multiple links on different sites that point back to your piece of content.

Offer Quotes: This is a no - brainer. The ultimate goal of many of these tips is to turn website visitors into leads (and then clients) by helping them enroll in a plan. No matter how much helpful content you produce or how many social media sites you posts you publish to emphasize the importance of researching and comparing plans, you’re not optimally tapping into leads unless you offer a way for consumers to request a quote.
Bare - minimum customer service may not be enough to earn the referral, though, so an agent has to make himself referable. If you have business cards, a nice website, and a brochure, you make it easier for clients to refer you to someone else. But to make yourself referable, you have to consistently deliver great service—showing up on time, calling back when you say you will, staying in touch once or twice a year with a phone call a birthday card (did we mention SendOutCards?)
