What do your prefer, self-generated or purchased leads in your Home Based Business?

I have been a Home Based Business Entrepreneur for nearly 4 years now and have had tremendous success. I am generating my own leads using this website http://www.createfinancialwealth.com and the cost equals that of purchasing leads. I have had more success with self-generated leads. Which type of leads do you prefer and why?

Self generated leads can be excellent since you know what your prospect is responding to and can be very custom for yourself and your opportunity.

There are a few downfalls though - you may be limited to the number of leads you can create, the process may not be duplicatable for your downline, and it can be VERY expensive if you are a novice at marketing (and have a lot of trial and error before you figure out what works).

Buying leads is easy to teach your downline, the cost per lead is typically cheaper than generating your own, and you can get the volume you need to make your business grow.

Business Opportunity Search Engine

I recommend you do a little research with the B.O.S.E. Being community driven it’s a cross between a search engine and a Wikipedia. You can add, delete and improve the results for much more focused answers than a general search engine can provide.

I buy leads from 2 companies but it always seems to be a waste. i don't really sign up alot of people that way and end up working them very fast. i think alot of people ask for information when doing a survey and that is a waste of my money. i advertise on myspace and a few other ways but what is a good generator that you do not have to pay alot of money for that will be worth my time.

Don't waste your money buying leads or emails from others. You can get more FREE traffic/visitors using these techniques:
1)Viral Pictures
Viral is closely connected with something that may spread easily.So i suggest you to create a viral picture which is closely connected with your products and spread it.
Everyone likes funny pictures and they don't mind sharing it with others.It's viral.So, If you're selling a health product, then you may create a funny picture about it and put your website's name on it.
Next, just forward it to as many contacts as possible using e-mails. Whether it's a 12 years old kid or 21 years old adult.They would just love and share it with others. Can you see how easy it is?

2)Viral Videos
Videos are the most famous entertainment on the Internet.People would just love it dues to it's effectivenes in spreading the message. So i suggest you to create viral videos about your product and again put your link in it.
If you got 3 minutes video, then make sure your website's link is visible throughout the whole 3 minutes.If you don't have the necessary tools to create a video, then you can simply collect 5-10 viral pictures and then convert it into video using Windows Movie Maker.
Then just upload it to You Tube or Google Videos. Now using bluetooth everyone is exchanging videos from their mobiles or computers. If your video is viral enough to attract others, it will easily spread to others.

How do I get leads of people wanting to start a home business? How do I get leads of people wanting to start a home business?

In my business, I have a website that collects information from people looking for home businesses. Write me at yahoo, I am wasdadd. I will point you to the website and you can see for yourself.

I have excellent typing skills. I would like to start a side business at home. Can you give me any leads?

I would like to keep my full time job and I live in Michigan.

Why not type resumes for people? You can get really good books from the library that are full of tips and guides for just about any position anyone is looking for. Create a general questionnaire for potential clients to fill in for you regarding their interests, etc., and you do the work. Very little out-of-the-house work. Just be sure to use spell check and check for grammar and lineage.

ICan anyone give me some leads on some online business that you can work out of your home from. I have tried s

What companies are leading the way in producing affordable solar energy panels for homes and businesses?

Please provide links if possible.

That depends on what type of solar energy you mean... There is Thermal Solar and there is Photovoltaic ( PV ). Thermal solar uses the sun to heat water or some other liquid to transfer that energy to a system that requires heat or simply so you can have hot water. There also thermal solar systems that generate electricity but they again use heat to turn water to steam or another heat usage method to turn a turbine or generator.

The PV panels is what most people think of when they think solar panels. A panel that converts photons into electrical energy. Most of the PV panels (~86%) out there use silicon based systems that are often costly to produce. Some of the new technologies have to the possibility to produce cheaper panels but that technology is more than 10 years out...

Thermal panels are distributed by many many companies. Here is a big one that does pool heating systems... check out their commercial systems.

Here is a smaller company that does mainly residential stuff.
