Building your Network Marketing or home based business requires advertising, but if you are like me, you ventured into this lucrative market because you needed to earn more money not spend it.

The experience I had when first starting out was not pleasant. It seemed that every time I turned around, I had to re-invest the little bit of money I had earned to advertise for more clients, and in the end, I just wasn’t getting ahead. I was going broke.

If you are not careful, you can spend your hard earned profit, before it has been earned.

There simply is no way to get ahead and turn profitable if you have to spend your hard earned money on advertising, especially when you are just venturing out.

How do you get ahead, if you can’t keep up with the “big boys”?

The best way to get started with advertising is to utilize every free resource that is available on the internet. I would caution you to stay away from ad blasters and “safe – lists” because you will spin your wheels. It just isn’t efficient to send your email message to lists that don’t get read, and what’s worse, you’ll end up getting a ton of spam email, and phone calls from people trying to sell you their product.

What you need is a step by step guide to show you how to build your business without spending a ton of money to get results.

Here is how I did it, and saw incredible results with my travel website. I have been able to utilize these techniques with great success, and the results have been so good, that I have passed these techniques down to my downline, and have watched them duplicate the results I have achieved.

After months of due diligence and research, I identified free advertising sources that I could track for results, and made a goal to reinvest a portion of my earnings into affordable, low cost advertising mediums.

The following two tips are advertising methods that I incorporated into my advertising strategy. These methods cost me nothing, and as I began to make money, I diligently reinvested a portion toward budgeted advertising campaigns, being sure to track my results for each paid advertising campaign.

Two free tips that you can implement right away:

Tip #1

Utilize Your Email Signature and create a viral ad campaign.

There is no better way to utilize all of the forwarded jokes, email offers, and outright spam that you receive than to send them a “bounce back” email with your signature. A good example of this would be:

Wishing you happiness and success in life,

Advertise your business without breaking the bank

Send this to everyone that sends you an email, as a reply. Turn that spam into cash!

Tip #2

Free Classified Ad Sites

Do a search on Google for free classified ads, and submit your classified ad message. I would advise you not to use your main email account if you do this, so look into a free email account prior to placing your ads. This will get some response if you do the research and place your ads in front of the right audience. A couple of the sites that I use are Adlandpro as well as Inetgiant classifieds. This is a completely free resource, so stay focused, and don’t spend money!

In summary, the key to getting your business to the next level is to generate some cash flowing back to you.

The two tips I have outlined are just the tip of the iceberg for free resources, but, starting small will allow you to master these techniques, and get results.

Continue to apply these techniques, and you’ll soon see your web traffic increase, and your list of interested prospects begin to build.

Many people, especially newbies are often confused about effecive ways to promote their products or affiliated products. The fastest but potentially most expensive way for the inexperienced is the pay per click (PPC) way. However, it is not always the most effective way. Writing articles and submitting them to articles directories are just as effective.

Let’s look at 6 other ways that you can try to get prospective buyers even if you are a newbie and have little or no experience in making money online. The online ways that I have listed below are free and some are actually quite fun to do as you will get to interact with different types of people that may someday join venture with you to promote each other’s products.

It’s important to remember that selecting a niche market that is close to your heart will give you better success than to sell products that every Tom, Dick and Harry is promoting as well. A saturated market will leave you in the dust with a hole in your pocket and have you walk away with your tail between your legs.

1. Blogs
I cannot stress enough on the value of blogs or weblogs in promoting just about anything, or just to speak your mind on your favorite topic. One of my favorites blogs is Hupages. They have provided capsules to add external links, videos, pictures and RSS feeds. They even rate you and your site on the originality of your content, how active you are in your participation in their community. I notice that Hubpages blogs can dominate the 1st page of Google on any topic with the right keywords and relevant links back to your site. Other great blogs are Blogger and Wordpress but they are not as interactive as Hubpages. It is easy to generate traffic to bring prospective buyers to your sites by writing blogs, similar to article submission. The only difference is you have more freedom in including links in your content instead of just in the resource box.

2. Forums
Forums are meeting places for people with similar ideas and issues. They are a great place to search for answers and to introduce your products to. One of the best forums which bring together internet marketers is Warriorforum. You can learn a lot of different techniques on marketing from the experts, perhaps find a joint venture partner or find a ghost writer for your articles. Many of the writers in this forum are passionate about making money online. Some are experts but many are newbies. This is a valuable site to check out.

3. Yahoo.Answers
This is an interesting site created by Yahoo where visitors can log in and answer questions posed by people on practically any topic. You get rated for your participation and you can put your links as much as you please. A great way to promote yourself as an expert in your chosen topic.

4. Social Networking Websites
I have found community sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Squidoo valuable in garnering “friends & fans” that visit my site often to see what I have recently updated in terms of pictures, comments or links. It is usually easier to get supports from your own list than to get a total stranger to trust your products. Many of my prospective buyers come from this community.

5. Visit related sites
If you google a keyword specific to your product (say “get six pack abs” if you are promoting a book relating to abdominal exercises), you can run through the 1st 2 to 3 pages of google’s search results and look for sites that allow you to make comments as a guest and leave your website link (which is link-friendly of course). These sites may be forums, sites selling products or blogs. You’ll be surprise that even a one line comment can get you listed on Google if your link is there or your keyword is relevant! Make sure these sites have high traffic that you can ride on. Many newbies are not taught this technique to promote their products and it should be a staple diet, so to speak.

6. Offline promotion
When we focus totally on the cyber world, we sometimes forget that people live in the real world. These people have regular jobs and participate in tangible activities. If you are in charge of marketing a product in the real world, where would you advertise? Here are a few options:
a) Newspapers (paid and free);
b) Related magazines & publications;
c) Name card
d) Banners
e) Seminars
f) Brochures
g) Word of mouth

If you can think of 10 more ways to get traffic to your site, write an article about it or put it on your blog. We can always learn new ways to generate traffic, get prospective buyers to visit our site and make money online. You can get a lot of mileage as well as it is a hot topic that marketers can never get enough of!

When looking at wanting to build a social network, it is first important to define what a social network is. A social network is essentially a group of people connected together through various means such as friends or similar values. Social networking is a term bandied around very often on the Internet these days without any regard to what the term means. By simply understanding the definition, it can allow for deeper discussion into how you can build a social network.

If the definition is used here, the first key when wanting to build a social network is to find a group of like-minded people. If you trawl through Internet chat forums, you can find various topics where like-minded people come to talk about what they are passionate about. If you search through the various topics, this may give you an idea on what you may want to build a social network around. You may not want to choose a particular topic but rather begin a social network to keep in better touch with your friends. In this case, you will take a different approach than for those with a particular topic of interest.

The second key when wanting to build a social network is to decide what your end goal is for the project. Do you simply want a place you can visit everyday to talk with friends or with other people of like mind? Would you like to build your social network into a business where you can create income by helping solve the problems of others? This will help determine what type of approach you take in building the social network.

The third key in wanting to build a social network is to decide how large you want the network to be. This will probably fit in at least loosely with your first two decisions on the spirit of your forum and how you want to run your network. Deciding upon a size can help you when deciding who to let in and how much advertising you want to do in developing the network. Building a social network is like any other project: you must put in the time and work up front to enjoy the payoff in the end. How will you know how to build your social network if you have not set a target for which to shoot for.

Wanting to build a social network starts with asking yourself some very basic but important questions. Without asking these questions, you will not be successful in building a social network which you will be proud to boast to your friends about.

The most popular keyword in the Internet is sex. Even without searching it on Google everyone knows this. But finding popular keywords for your market requires some tedious research. It would not be revealed to you instantly. Conducting accurate keyword research is an important step for search engine optimization. Having the right keywords would mean a lot to your website. The keywords must have a relevance to what you are offering in your website. With relevant keywords, your visitors would stay longer on your site. Using the incorrect keywords could spell disaster for your Internet venture. Instead of having an overnight success, inappropriate keywords would not bring in traffic to your website. Visitors would feel lied to when they enter your site and realize that it is not related to what they searched for. This would decrease the number of returning visitors.

Using popular keywords would help bring in visitors. But the keyword must be relevant to your target market. There are keyword suggestion tools available that could help you find the right keyword for your market. Some tools would offer a list of related words so you have a choice which word or phrase to use. Some tools will even arrange the keywords by their popularity. Now knowing which keyword to use is easy. No more time consuming research to conduct. It is as easy as typing in the word that you think best describes your website and the keyword tool will generate the keywords that are relevant. Some sites offer free reports on popular keywords with the search volume of each. Now you can use your research with the report to determine which keyword to use.

Once you know the popular keywords for your market, you can utilize them for generating traffic in your website. Using the popular keywords as content for your website could result in having a high rating from search engines. High ranking would mean a place in the top ten or possibly top ranking in that search. Top ranking would bring more eyeballs to your site.

But sometimes utilizing unpopular keywords could help your website as well. Popular keywords related to your website are small in number. Compare it to the high number of keywords that is least popular yet still very much relevant to your site. By also using these keywords, you could get the small percentage of users that searched using those unpopular keywords.

Do you have plans of releasing a high priced product or package? Then study this very vital statistic:
at the average, around 80% of your sales will be made on the day of launch itself. Therefore, it is very important to devise that perfect product launch to guarantee that your first day of sales will be a tremendous triumph.

Here are a set of powerful tips that will help ensure the best product launch possible:

1. Forget the concept of a big ticket product. What experts sell is always a big ticket PACKAGE. Multiply the perceived value of the central item you are planning to offer by packaging such with high value extras that your audience will love. Provide for them an item and it’ll be difficult to sell it to them. Provide for them a group of products and they’ll be anxious to discover what are inside of the same.

2. Create a joint venture, or JV, with powerful online businessmen. If they accept your invitation, they will be your JV partners. They will provide aid in selling your package. As compensation, you have to give them a commission for every purchase they will be able to lead to your sales page. JV partners often expect a commission rate of 50% of the selling price, per sale.

Truly, JV partners are similar to affiliates, however, with the stringent screening process you will employ, you will be able to associate yourself with JV partners who will provide for you bigger exposure thanks to their deep subscriber base, higher value for your set of products thanks to the extras they will provide which will come from their own inventory of products, and greater advertising reach because of the many JV partner who share your sales goals.

3. Generate pre-launch hype. All the biggest online marketing product launches in the past few years gained a high amount of pre-launch buzz. Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing created quite a stir with the alleged leaked chapter of the main eBook product of the package. Frank Kern’s Mass Control tried to win a phenomenal amount of attention by publishing several powerful, high quality videos in the days towards the release of his baby project.

These campaigns generated more than a million dollars on the first day of the publication of their packages. Creating pre-launch buzz will guarantee enough traffic come the day of launch, traffic which will be primed to favor the package you will ultimately unveil.
