For laypeople, prospect or Lead generation is the journey of getting positive responses from the consumer/audience in your brand's products or services. Ordinarily, this entails a person supplying you with their contact details so that you can use it to keep in touch, follow up on orders placed or on the interest shown, and so on. The genesis of new business leads demands the creation of a marketing experience that lets audiences engage with a business as simply as possible.
Below are tips on generating marketing leads via the webspace:

Conversations with people in your target audience, engaging with their posts, and direct messaging them to pitch your product or service is a good way to get marketing leads on LinkedIn. LinkedIn as a platform is focused and if you follow the best practices then you are sure to hit the jackpot when it comes to marketing leads.
Get current clients to refer people in their networks. Getting current clients to provide you with thoughtful leads is known to work for generations. Ask your clients if they are willing to help out and supply them with the material that they need to help you. If you have clients delighted with your services, ask them to refer connections in their professional/social networks. These networks could be friends, relatives, neighbors, professional friends, and industry connections. Don’t forget to thank them with an appropriate gift if the lead becomes hot / converts.

Answer questions in forums. Have you used Quora? It’s an online forum where people pose questions and others supply answers.

Try it, but give it time. No instant results. Have patience.
