Okay, I admit, it’s a cheesy title. But the truth is, without advertising, the chances of your site being seen are slim to none. It doesn’t matter if you have the greatest site on the planet. If nobody knows it’s out there, you’re pretty much dead in the water. In my article, 4 Keys To Success, I mentioned advertising as the third key. In this article, I want to go a little bit more in depth, all though there is no way you can cover all of advertising in one article. I’m going to cover some basics here.
For one thing, there is free advertising and paid advertising. Contrary to what many people think, not all free advertising is worthless and not all paid advertising is good. Some paid advertising is a downright rip off. But I’ll get to that in a moment. The point is, you can’t judge a form of advertising just because it is free or paid for. You have to examine it for what it is.
For example, one of the most effective forms of advertising is article marketing. The reason it is so effective is because many people look up information on the Internet in order to assist them with a problem and one of the first areas they look for this help is articles. Think about your own surfing habits. When you have a problem and look for a solution online, don’t you look for articles? Well, you’re not alone there. Article marketing accounts for 67% of my monthly income. So it must be good for something.
On the other side of the fence, paid advertising, you have buying leads. This is probably one of the most worthless and dangerous things that you can do. For starters, you don’t know where these leads came from. You don’t know if these people are interested in what you have to sell or basket weaving. Most bought leads are very untargeted. In addition to the worth of the leads, there is the danger of spam complaints. Emailing these leads using your own ISP is an open invitation to getting your ISP to take away your service. Many a business has been destroyed because of buying leads.
In future articles, I’m going to cover various forms of advertising in more depth. I’ll give you some of the best ones to use and warn you about the ones that are a waste of time, money or both, and worse. Buying leads is a perfect example of that.
To YOUR Success,
