When I first started out marketing from home I had to get creative when I realized I didn’t have a budget of ANY kind for advertising my home business .

I’m glad it happen that way because I  did find these free advertising techniques that are the  best in terms of getting free traffic to sites and I use them FAR more than any sort of paid advertising.

The main ways I get free advertising for my sites are:
1. Viral marketing – writing and distributing FREE reports and ebooks that also come with resell rights .I put links back to my sites in the ebooks. I want go into great detail
about how to do this here,but purely there’s not much to tell – write a report, put links in it back to your products – give it away… Get more Viral Marketing Info “HERE”

2. Article marketing – the most effective way to make sure your articles get used by as many people as possible is to make them interesting. The best way to do that is to visit similar sites and see which articles turn YOU on. If they interest you, they’ll interest
others so write a similar article. If they bore you, they’ll bore others so stay away.

3. Forum Posting. Don’t underestimate this method. If I have a launch on my blog or a viral report I want to give away, then I’ll get stuck into the forums for a few hours. I change my signature file and every time I have a new launch I post on the forums. Don’t forget when you change your sig, on most forums it automatically changes on every post you’ve ever written, so all your past posts’ sigs will also point to your latest post.

4. Blog posting – post on other people’s blogs – especially HUGE guru’s blogs and make sure you leave a link back to your products. Don’t do this in the body of the post – just make sure you include your website when you sign up to leave a comment and it should be automatically included at the bottom of your post… Click Here For Blog posting Info 

5. Write a newsletter or Ezine and get opt-ins in exchange for it. Include links in each ezine you send out. The easiest way is to send out a simple email newsletter. Make sure you write quality content – people aren’t stupid, so don’t treat them as though they are – would you want an inbox full of useless ezines? I know you already have! – so if you write a GOOD ezine you’ll stand out from the crowd and get more traffic

6. Swapping links with other site owners. Most site owners will be fine with this. But choose people on your own level. If you approach a guru he usually won’t even reply to you because there’s not much in it for him. If you go for someone at the same level you’re at – newbie – intermediate – whatever, you’ve far more chance of him being more than happy to help. AND there’s a strong possibility you’ll make a friend that may become  A JV partner one day.

The main thing is to just pick a couple of the above – the ones that appeal to you are the best ones to start with – and get stuck in. You’ll quickly find out which ones you like and which ones you don’t.

The good news is that they all work extremely well, so as your business grows you can pay outsource workers to do the ones you don’t like. As you build more sites (and if you get into Internet Marketing you can be sure you will), one of the best ways of driving traffic is the simplest of all.

Put a link on your sites, that tells your readers about your OTHER sites. Sounds obvious?
You’d be surprised how many marketers forget to do this.

To Your Marketing Success,

Want to start a Home Business,but don’t know where to start? Been waiting for the right Home Business Idea to come along .Well, finally its here- an affiliate program that will blow all the others out of the water!

The already popular TheSecondTier affiliate training center has undergone a complete information and visual makeover.

As an affiliate you’ll get more tools and they’ll be more powerful than ever. This translates directly into cha-ching! Here are just a few things that make this affiliate program the most effective affiliate program out there:

• Huge commissions on both first AND second tier sales!!! • Product tools for all types of affiliates.
• Full training center with access hours of video and audio training.
• Live affiliate manager blog where you can get your affiliate questions answered.
• Weekly live training calls (every monday morning!!!)

Russell Brunson’s unique philosophy that affiliates should be provided not only with powerful tools but the knowledge to use them has pushed

TheSecondTier to the top of competing programs. Russell has taken affiliate training to a whole new level. He understands that he can have hundreds of affiliates that don’t know what they are doing and get decent sales OR he can give them the knowledge and tools they need to create explosive amounts of money AND share with them a very generous portion of the profits from each sale they generate!

Here are just a few of the things that you’ll learn inside of TheSecondTier:

• How to choose the right product for you to promote - One of the biggest mistakes that almost all affiliates make when they first start out, is that they try to promote too many things at once. This video will show you exactly how to choose the right one or two products that will make you the most money.

• How to set up an “Affiliate Squeeze” page - Less then 2% of all affiliates use this powerful technique, but after you implement it into your affiliate promotions, you will see your commissions grow exponentially.

• How to drive targeted traffic to your “Affiliate Squeeze” pages for FREE - Once you learn this simple (and free) concept on how to drive traffic to your “Affiliate Squeeze” pages, you will be able to start literally writing your own paychecks.

• How to build an huge targeted opt-in mailing list - You will learn how easy it is to build an opt-in list, and use that to exponentially increase your affiliate commissions EVERY week!

• How to strategically place “Affiliate Land Mines” and watch your profits EXPLODE! - Follow this one simple strategy and you will start getting checks in the mail every month!

• How to dominate your Pay Per Click ad campaigns - It’s very powerful if you learn how to do it right. This video will walk you through the process to get high converting PPC ads!

• How to use teleseminars to close ten times the clients in 1/2 the time - One of the secrets to selling a lot of products as an affiliate quickly is doing teleseminars. I was nervous when I did my first few, but now I can’t stop because every time I do one, my affiliate checks from that day are anywhere from $2,000 - $15,000 (and it’s a lot easier then you’d think).

• How to broker JV deals and make a fortune on your 2nd tier - Many of our affiliates earn thousands of dollars each month from the efforts of others. These videos will show you exactly how they find super affiliates to add to their second tier. • How to protect your commissions from thieves while increasing your conversions - One of the number one concerns that affiliates have are people stealing their commissions. You will learn the techniques that will protect your links and also guarantee that even the worst thieves will gladly give you their commissions instead of keeping it for themselves.

• and a whole lot more….

Russell does not discriminate against less experienced affiliates. In fact, he’s already taken countless numbers of people from knowing 0 to being listed among his top affiliates. It is so effective that some people actually pay to sell products for him!

The products Russell puts out are of top quality and always in demand. In fact, people call his office months before products are ready just begging to know when they can get their hands on them.

Combine this with all the promotional and training tools Russell provides and you’re already half way to making serious affiliate commissions. The other half will be done when you take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Home Business Marketers are now realizing the potential benefits Web 2.0 has to offer. While many consumers think of popular applications like MySpace when they ponder Web 2.0, many fail to connect this technology with its potential for business.

Corporations can reduce much of the expense associated with installing and configuring essential software and applications on individual computers when they take advantage of Web 2.0. Rather than have an IT manager set up, configure and maintain a company’s applications and software on corporate servers, a company can now access a vendor’s server to acquire the information they need for their company.

Companies can now also share information and collaborate with one another in new and interesting ways. This will require business managers to start thinking more horizontally, moving away from a hierarchical model of communicating to one where knowledge is shared freely among employees, suppliers, vendors and even competitors.

Some company’s are even encouraging their customers to take advantage of social networks to help them advertise. GM for example allowed consumers to create commercials for some of their popular vehicles a while back. While many of these left much room for improvement, such integration allows for greater innovation and shared interest among key agents – consumers.

A company can also help businesses make working more practical and simpler. Rather than have individuals use stand-alone systems only, company’s can now encourage the joint use of software and computers among multiple users. Data can easily be shared from one person to next, meetings can be held online, and problem solving can take place from a much broader perspective… Read More

What goes around, comes around . You ever heard that phrase before?

I am sure that you have, and I am also almost certain that you would probably agree that it is true as well.

There really is nothing (or at least very, very little) that is genuinely new in life, that you haven’t seen before, and the older you get, the more it happens!

Its like when I see yet another email land in my inbox, promoting yet another latest secret product, or a never-seen-before solve all the problems of the world master plan from the latest guru (who nobody had ever heard of yesterday).

Sound familiar?

Seen it all before?

Of course you have  you and me both, and, whilst I am not going to insult your intelligence by telling you how sick to death I am of it (that tactic has also been played out to the ninth degree); I am going to be totally straight up with you.

Most of the products that I have seen hit the market over the last year or so have been revamped or worked-over copies of stuff that I had seen before, sometimes many more times than once.

Thus, when I get the chance to look at a new product, I do not expect to be impressed.

In fact, I rarely if ever manage to get past the first few pages if I ever start to suffer from insomnia, I know I have a hard drive packed with stuff sure to help cure the problem!

So, when I got a first chance to look at Traffic 2.0, it was definitely a question of, okay, here we go, who’s this one copied from?

And now?

More importantly, I want to tell you exactly why I rate it so highly, and why I have no hesitation in recommending it to you.

First off, it is not a stale rehash of some other junky product.

Note that I did not claim that it is unique or brand new because I have not seen every other internet marketing product that has ever come out, so how do I know that?

Second, it is not a one idea product like 99% seem to be.

Traffic 2.0 pulls together a whole host of traffic generation ideas, tips and systems that, taken together (and that is the key word, together) form a very sensibly balanced approach to traffic creation.

And the third thing (and this is a big bugbear of mine) is that it does not insist on throwing out the baby with the bathwater, like so many products seem so keen to do.

What I mean by this is that, whilst everyone is running around like a headless chicken, spouting about this Web 2.0 tactic or that Web 2.0 idea, they seem to have forgotten that a lot of Web 1.0 ideas and traffic generation tactics worked pretty well too!

And, guess what?
They still work just as well now as they did when computers were still steam driven!

This Traffic 2.0 system manual doesn’t forget this either, and even includes a section that shows that, whilst, sure almost everything you read is about Web 2.0 nowadays, you shouldn’t discard something that still works just because its old!

So, my view of Traffic 2.0?

Its a very well thought out and sensibly balanced system for driving large numbers  of new visitors to your site or blog at minimal cost or for no cost at all….  Read More

There is a right way, and a wrong way to purchase traffic. You can use a service that guarantees you traffic (wrong way) or you can use a pay-per-click service (right way). Whatever you do, don’t fall for those websites that promise to deliver you thousands of hits in a twenty four hour period.

Let’s take a look at those services. First, you don’t know where or how they are generating the traffic. In most cases, the traffic is not targeted, meaning that it is possible that not a single one of those thousands of visitors has any interest in the topic of your niche. Finally, you can’t really be sure that the traffic is ‘real.’

But, there is a way to purchase real, targeted traffic. You can use Pay-Per-Click advertising, through a service such as Google AdWords. When you purchase traffic using this method, the traffic is targeted – and real. You don’t pay for a certain number of traffic, you pay for each click, as the name, pay-per-click, indicates.

Now, if you don’t know what you are doing, Pay-Per-Click can be expensive, and ineffective. It is important that you make sure that you write a targeted ad, first and foremost. It is also essential that you select the right keywords, and that you bid the right amount on those keywords.

Google AdWords really makes this very easy. You can type in your main keyword, and they will give you a list of other related keywords that apply as well. Next, when you set the amount you are willing to pay, per click, for each keyword, you can use the traffic analysis tools in Google AdWords to see where your ad will be listed, based on what you are paying per click, and how much traffic you can expect from it.

Raise your bid price until you see that you will be listed where you want to be (preferably the first page of search results). Again, PPC can be very expensive. Make sure that you know how much you can afford to spend on these ads each week, divide it by seven, and set a daily budget up in your AdWords account. Also specify how you want those funds spread out through the day.

There are entire courses written on the topic of Google AdWords. I advise that you take one, because there are a lot of elements and tricks that need to be learned to make AdWords work out well for you.

Again, don’t waste your traffic! Make sure that you are capturing first names and email addresses from the people that arrive at your website through PPC advertising!

Homework Assignment:

Determine whether you want to purchase traffic or not, and if you do, find a good pay-per-click service, such as Google AdWords, and get set up.
