Do you need a
fast-moving, high-sales Affiliate Program for your product? An
Affiliate Program puts thousands of people to work for you as your
Personal Sales Team – and you don’t have to pay them
until they make a sale! My personal recommendation would be to list
your product at ClickBank – it is by far
one of the most popular programs to use, with an exceptionally high
success rate. Put them to work for you today & increase your
sales dramatically this Holiday Season!

The
Art of Advertising Your
Online Business
Are you done submitting
your site to the 8 major search engines? Are you ready for the real
methods of advertising that could blow the digits clean off your
hit counters?
The Marketing "Guru's"
have focused on 3-4 methods of advertising your web site that virtually
everyone has adopted, ignoring the dozens, if not hundreds, of unique
and effective internet advertising strategies that work wonders.
Everyone is always
saying use these 3-4 promotional tools and your work is done:
- Search engine submission
- Email marketing
- Banner advertising
- Ezine advertising
If it was really that
easy, wouldn't we all be millionaires right now?
Here are 10 unique
methods of online advertising that the internet marketing experts
will not tell you about:
- If you don't publish an ezine start publishing now. Putting a classified ad in an
ezine is fine, however, the trust that
you gain from your own opt-in subscriber list is much more powerful
and valuable than trying to reach an audience that does not know
you from a hole in the wall.
- Get your ezine listed in the 40 or so directories on the web that
list newsletters. Many people search these directories regularly
looking for newsletters that cater to their particular interests.
- Begin growing a huge subscriber
base by participating in the ultimate joint venture: ezine ad swaps. There is a never ending amount of resources
on the net that list publishers willing to swap ads. It would
only benefit you to take full advantage of this opportunity.
- Write and submit original articles
to other publishers and make sure that you include a resource
box so that people can find your web site and subscribe to your
newsletter.
- Participate in discussion forums
regularly. This is huge but often overlooked. Many people visit
discussion boards on a daily, if not hourly, basis. Appropriate,
helpful and intelligent posts on a regular basis will bring about
credibility and name recognition.
- Come up with an incredibly powerful
sig file and use it in every email message
that you send out and every discussion board posting you make.
This is the equivalent of a business card and like the offline
world, if you leave enough of them they will drum up business
for you.
- Come up with some targeted classified
ads and use them in ezines (try to swap
ads with other ezines if you publish
your own). Also, offer advertising in your own newsletter as this
will provide you with an additional revenue stream.
IMPORTANT
POINT
Tracking your ads
is key. Use tracking software such as The Ultimate
Ad Tracker™ to assign a unique tracking
code to all of your ads so that you can determine which combination
of ezines and ads is working for you and which is not.
Using ad codes will
help you track the effectiveness of your advertising. This will
in turn save you time and money and help you to achieve your goals
faster.
- There are many different ebooks and several kinds of free software being given away
by the internet marketing community. Many people wonder how they
can afford to give away valuable information or products like
this. Well, they are earning advertising revenue. Many of these
ebooks and software applications can
have links or banners placed in them (for a fee of course). You
can pay to have your banner sponsor an ebook or a software application.
- Online classified ads are not
dead. You just have to know the right places to advertise. Aol and the other online services
have brought me a profit everytime I
advertised with them. They used to only be available to members
of the particular online service, however, they are now available to the general public.
I suggest you get there before your competition does!
- Purchase banner ad space on highly
targeted, high traffic web sites. Banner exchanges have become
passe but purchasing banner ad space on targeted sites can
be quite lucrative. There are many services that can purchase
banner ads for you for very reasonable prices.
BONUS:
- Start an associate/affiliate program
and submit it to the associate program directories on the net
(at my last count there were 50 of them and growing). As with
ezine directories, this is an extremely effective and free
form of advertising, as many people will search these sites looking
for new programs that they can join. This will drive people who
are eager to sell for you straight to your site.
