Soooo many advertising methods... So little time!
The Internet seems to scream "Use me"! It is the perfect medium for advertisers in just about any field.
From Pokemon to The Senior Citizen's Page, it's ALL here.
Here's what the Mass Institute of Technology says:
The rate of the web's growth has been and continues to be exponential, but is slowing in it's rate of growth. For the second half of 1993, the Web had a doubling period of under 3 months, and even today the doubling period is still under 6 months.
More Web statistics can be found at: http://www.mit.edu/people/mkgray/net/web-growth-summary.html
Amazing isn't it? Especially when you are out there working your fingers to the bone trying to earn a living online.
You could feel the hopelessness of the situation if you didn't unconditionally believe in yourself and your business. So many millions out there with money to spend, how do you corral them?
What do you do?
Too many expect and hope that they can find these qualified leads for free.
Do you know what you find for free? Freebie seekers! These are not the quality prospects that you need to keep your business humming.
Expect to spend a little to promote. Budget your advertising monthly. No need to spend a fortune but you should expect that you'll get what you pay for.
Tracking is an excellent information gathering reference. Track everything you put out. Email, Signature File, Website, Ezine and Newsletter Adverts, etc....
I am sure you have been inundated with information on tracking so I won't go into it here but if you would like info, email me.
I have recently dropped all paid safelists due to tracked statistics. No response equals wasted time.
There are a lot of email addresses on these lists but if there is
no response, why bother? Sure they are spam free but they don't produce.
Ezine advertising is productive. Publishers who have taken the time to build a qualified list will advertise to that list for minimal cost.
Ezine lists, no matter what size circulation are qualified. If the newsletter is very targeted, you could find that a small list is EXTREMELY productive for you.
Publishers work hard to get and keep people returning to their site every week. That means the subscriber is qualified.
Great way to advertise.
Other quality ways? Opt-In email services like Postmaster Direct or other email marketing services of that caliber. A little more expensive than ezine ads but the same premise.
Other ideas include paid Yahoo classifieds and Ebay is very effective for the small fee they charge AFTER the sale is made.
Target your ads in a perfect category and you have found yourself a winner!
Now that you have a few good suggestions, you'll have to hone your writing skills because no matter how good the list, you'll need to relate the benefits of purchasing YOUR products in a professional way.
Don't feel like writing or not enough time? Hire a writer or researcher to look things up for you.
I'm telling you, it's all here! What is your need? You can find a way to satisfy that need or hire someone to find it for you.
Take a look outside the free zone.
You will find something that is PERFECT for you...
