Lead Generation in Maine Hunting/Fishing Guides

[Rem]

I was PM'ing with mtman several months ago about doing lead gen and finding clients for hunting/fishing guides in Maine.

The basic discussion was that Mainers in this industry have no clue how to market themselves and since I am currently in the industry online I get tons of people emailing me and asking me if I know any good guide services in Maine. I usually just point them to a couple places and wish them luck. Now I kick myself for not seeing the opportunity. Why not get into lead gen for this?

Now I know this guy who did this sort of business and he was down in Mississippi but he tried to hook people up from all over the country. His business suffered and I am not sure if it was the wrong approach, poor business etc.

He would contact guides from all over and work a deal that if he could find them clients he would get a fee. From what I remember the reason he suffered was he charged 10% from the guide. In other words the guide was paying the fee and it seemed too high for them. They liked the clients but after paying out the 10% it wasn't always worth it for them since they have expenses.

So how do you think I could approach this? I thought I could target local businesses within my state and then as things grow I can move into other states etc.

Also, we are partnering with another company who can really help us expand our blog network. I am sure I can use the blog network to expand my lead gen biz. If someone is an expert in this I would be more than happy to find a way to partner in this endeavor.

But I wanted to raise this topic since it seems to be discussed a lot here and would love to hear what others have for input.

Thanks in advance!!
