WHY DO PEOPLE BOTHER POSTING THIS OLD B......S.
Does it ever generate any business for them ,drives me mad
I suspect that it does, Tony.
All it takes is one person, out of however many hundreds who happen to read it, who is half-contemplating (in this case) life assurance to click on the link & it generates a quote.
If the OP posts this on say a hundred forums they will probably gain 2 or 3 policy sales. Not only are other peoples web-sites a way to get your advert read by hundreds / thousands but it's free & very simple & quick to find suitable locations.
Top of my head, Tony, try it with your business for a month.
See how many forums you can find in one hour & copy & paste their web-addresses on to a spread sheet; I'll bet you come up with 70 or so.
Write a simple three line advert plus your web-site & e-mail addresses - 10 minutes. Another half-an-hour clicking on the web-sites & pasting the ad into a forum.
Then see how many enquiries you get. Might be none but for the sake of less than two hours of your time & no financial outlay I'd be giving it a try!
