Accidental Lead Generation With Domains
I have a local Geo Glass Repair Domain for window repair and installation and a few months ago I put up a small contact form on the site stating that the site was for sale if you would like to make an offer please contact me using the form below.
About 5 days ago someone did not read the sites text and sent me a small description of the work they need done on their windows and that they would like a price quote.
I emailed them back and told them that I simply own the domain name, not a window repair business and I sent them the name of a local business. But this got me interest in lead generation.
A window repair job or installation may cost between 200-1000 to much more depending on the amount of work that needs to be done so I would think that local business would be willing to pay $10 or $30, but I am not sure they will understand the value of the lead. I could start giving them a free lead or two to show that they are real lead.
I might try adding some contact boxes to try and generate leads on a few more of my sites and see if I can get any. I also know there are some lead generation networks that pay per lead but I want to sell directly to small businesses on a small scale.
Has anyone done stuff like this and sold leads generated from their websites directly to small businesses?

Lead generation can be much much more profitable than domains in the long run. Especially if you can establish a great relationship with a company or business. This can be added to a resume and be done over and over again with other businesses and companies. Have fun!

From what I know David Carter has quite a bit of experience in this and has blogged about it specifically in at least one post which I found was pretty informative. have a read through his blog for some tips or try contacting him for advice

I agree with Mike. David Carter has fantastic information on his blog about lead generation.
A similar thing happened to me, with a geo domain not too long ago, and I wrote about it.
It’s not a bad way to make money if it’s done right, but you will need a decent amount of traffic.

yes, I got into domaining to generate leads for our small business advertisers. Lead generation and domains can be quite lucrative, but you need scale to generate enough leads to attract advertiser interest.

I bought a domain for property management here in Jerusalem, and when the lead came through, I did not have the right contractor. The client, owner of a $350 a day property walked away. It was a painful experience. Now, looking back, I may do it again, but this time, I will choose the field better.

There are a few ways to handle lead generation. Just make sure that it fits into your development model. If you really want to get started, you call around to a few of those glass repair shops and say hey I received an inquiry about glass repair and would like to refer this individual to you.
Once they see that you can be depended on for leads, they might either buy leads directly from you or pay you based on the business you refer. Either way you can take advantage of the lead you received! Consider it HOT until proven otherwise!
