Using ChatGPT to Generate 1000s of Leads in Any Niche (Free + Easy Method)
Education
Introduction
Artificial intelligence is transforming the landscape of lead generation, and this article will guide you through a free, simple, and effective method to start generating high-quality leads for your industry or niche immediately. By finding leads and setting up an automation system, you can reach out to all of these prospects on autopilot—even while you sleep!
Finding Your Leads
To begin with, we will use Google to source our leads. The process involves a specific search query containing three components:
- The website or domain you want Google to search through (e.g., Instagram, LinkedIn).
- The niche or market you are targeting (e.g., plumbers, electricians, life coaches).
- Instructions for Google to return only profiles that contain listed email addresses.
You can specify popular email address domains to filter your search. If there are additional domains you’d like to target, you can add them by using “OR” followed by the domain (e.g., "@gmail.com" OR "@yahoo.com").
For instance, if you're looking for life coaches, you would type the following query into Google:
site:instagram.com "life coach" "@gmail.com" OR "@yahoo.com" OR "@hotmail.com"
This command instructs Google to search through Instagram for profiles labeled as life coaches that include one of the specified email addresses.
Example Queries
- For life coaches on Instagram:
site:instagram.com "life coach" "@gmail.com" OR "@yahoo.com" - For surgeons on LinkedIn:
site:linkedin.com "surgeon" "@gmail.com" OR "@yahoo.com"
After executing the query, you can expect to retrieve hundreds if not thousands of profiles with the relevant email addresses.
Formatting Your Leads with ChatGPT
Once you have gathered the information, copy and paste it into ChatGPT to format the data into a structured table. Here’s a prompt you can use to request the formatting:
Format the data below into a table with the following columns: Full Name, Company Name, Website URL, Email, Phone Number.
After executing this command, ChatGPT should generate a table containing the full name, company name, profile link, email, and any available phone numbers.
Automating Your Outreach
With the leads table ready, it’s time to create an automated outreach system. A popular choice for automation is Make.com. Follow these steps to set up your system:
Create a New Scenario: In Make.com, begin with a blank canvas.
Set the Trigger: Choose Google Sheets as the trigger. Specify that a new row added to your Google Sheet will activate the automation.
Set the Frequency: Adjust how often you want the automation to run. For example, sending one email per hour can help avoid spam filters.
Connect to Your Google Sheet: If this is your first connection, login through your Google account and select your lead sheet.
Set the Action: Connect to Gmail to send the outreach emails. Specify the recipient's email address as the one retrieved from your Google Sheet.
Draft Your Email: Craft a succinct subject and message. Here’s an example:
- Subject: Inquiry About [Company Name]
- Content: "Hi [Name], I was wondering if you are currently accepting new clients. I run an AI automation agency that can improve your conversions by 60% in 90 days. Can I send you a report? Thanks, Helena."
By following these steps, you can set up an automated email outreach system that runs 24/7, enhancing your lead generation process.
