What is advertising
and is it necessary? Advertising provides
information about you, your business or service
using various forms of media -- print ads, radio
spots, TV commercials, electronic postings,
billboards, etc. Advertising is used to generate
name recognition and sales. Publicity involves
creating and developing an image for either
yourself or your business. While you must pay for
advertising, publicity is usually free. Publicity
is used to increase name recognition, to educate,
and to inform the public about your
business.Marketing is selling to specific target
groups. Marketing uses
both advertising and publicity as strategies to
develop name recognition, establish credibility,
build an image, and generate sales.

practical advice on how and where to advertise on
the internet and off the internet around you. The
first section concentrates on ONLINE advertising and
section 2 OFFLINE advertising.In a nutshell the
key to any opportunity is advertising and it is as
simple as that. NEVER be put off when
you see similar ads to yours because there is
always room for a 100 more and each one will get
seen and replied to sometime. If you have

Advertising
online when you are new to it can be a very
confusing task because there are millions of
websites globally to advertise on and still
millions more of international ones. Obviously
you would want to target your local market with
the opportunity being wherever you are based
unless it is an international one but how to
start.?? First of all, you would prefer free sites to place
your ads on.
Use Search engines to Find
what you are looking for.
In
the search area provided where it says SEARCH
type in search terms like' Sites to place
free ads' or 'free advertising
sites' or 'advertising sites'.
Modify your search terms and each time using the
basic words or sentences relevant to what you are
looking for and you will get a unique list of
thousands of sites to choose from. You need visit
the site links by clicking on each one provided
and see whether they are suitable to what you are
looking for each time. Many advertising sites
will ask you to complete a simple registration so
that when you come back to advertise again you
can access the site using your own unique
password to modify your current adverts or place
new ones. When you have found sites to advertise
on that you like, add them to your favourites and
you will build up a good list for yourself. Go
back regularly and advertise because your ads
will be pushed downwards on the list to make
space for new ads each time. Someone is going to
see your ads. Dont forget that there are
over millions of internet users internet already
which are growing and most peoples first
thought when the get internet access is how to
make money with the internet. Remember to be
innovative excited and enthusiastic in your
wording and advertising. You can
get ideas by looking at what attracts your eye
and working around these ads. You need try and
place a few ads every day if you can. If you have
an intranet at work and know the IT guy there ask
him if you can put a little text ad with a link.
Trust me he will be just as curious.

Advertising
offline (No internet access)
When
you are new to any opportunity your enthusiasm is
at its peak and it is at this time when you
should start laying your foundation for your
business. This is also the time you write down
your goals targets and the steps you are going to
follow to achieve these targets. If you do not,
you are going to lose interest and reading often
what you have written will keep these desires
alive. Now is the time to get started quickly.
What to do.??? The basics: First of all you
should make a list of all the people that
you know. Start with the ones closest to you
family and friends. Dont scoff, you
know someone, perhaps at work, at school or at
the shops. Have you checked how many numbers
there are in your cell phone lately? Dont
be shy
You are going to do everyone a
favour. Those that choose not to join will be
envious of you later. However if you dont
ask these people now, later they are going to ask
you why when they see you are earning a whole
pile of extra money every
month
..
Next on your list move on
to acquaintances and other people that you do not
see on a regular basis. Include your hairdresser,
your doctor, people you work with, the people
from your hiking club, your book club etc. If
they are not interested ask if you may leave a
few brochures, business cards or printed ads
their tables, notice boards or windows. Most will
certainly say yes. For now, dont worry
about whether the person will be interested in
the opportunity or not Never make a
decision on another persons behalf. Just
write down all the names that come to you, you
will be surprised how many people you actually
know!
You are going to be doing
all these people a favour by offering them the
chance of allowing them to create wealth and own
a business of their own. Out of this list, select
the people that you know will definitely be
interested in earning extra money and make
another list. This is your hot leads list. Are
they friendly, outgoing people with a large
circle of friends? (You definitely want to
approach them if they are!)
Approach
the ones that you feel would be the very best
first person that you would like to have in your
first lineor as your affiliate master,and arrange
an appointment. As an intro you can tell
them that you have come upon something really
exciting that you. When you go and see them make
sure to take along a printed version of the
information and brochures if you have any. Take
as much info along as you can. That is where you
start
Now to
advertise.
Have you
ever opened the local newspapers or ever
advertised in them? There are thousands of
adverts in these newspapers and many more getting
added all the time. Can you think why?? Because advertising works!! If
you do not get response to your adverts YOU are
doing something wrong, and thats without
exception. For example: If a manufacturer cannot
sell his product, they obviously can not blame
anyone except themselves. Its through trial
and error where you will find out what works and
what doesn't. You must be innovative refreshing
and attractive, so always remember this. What
advertisement attracted YOU to this
opportunity....!!??
Advertising
is easy. Everyone knows how to advertise but many
don't really KNOW how to start, where to start
and what to do. The difficulty with
advertising is being diligent at it and
persistent. Renew adverts regularly and people
will know YOU MEAN BUSINESS!! Putting up one or
two adverts and expecting massive response is
like sending 3 leads down to your marketer and
expecting all of them to sign, Not going to
happen unless you are Mr. or Mrs. Lucky. So you
have got to advertise as often and as diligently
as possible, BECAUSE YOURE BUSINESS
AND YOUR GROWTH AND EARNINGS
TO COME DEPEND ON IT.!!
We
all know the main methods of getting the message
is through advertising. Ideas on areas to place
your ads are, On billboards at work if you are
allowed to, Your local area newspaper for
example, Internet cafes, (speak to the owner
perhaps even he would like to join your
program),and even Schools in your area. You
can also print little business-cards and place
them on the counter of your local store or cafe,
Make up your own Flyers, Place them
in Advertising Newspapers briefs, at Shopping
Centres notice boards, sign Guest books with a
little note (Most banks always have these, and
even put a Notice in your cars rear window
which people WILL read when you are in a traffic
jam.
All
the methods mentioned are low cost and even free
if you use your imagination. How many of you
remember the old ads in newspapers asking you to
send an S.A.S.E (self addressed sealed envelope).
What about sending people who answer your ads
brochures you make up and a little note on the
opportunity in this way, and even an application
form, which is less of a waste than simply giving
them out to people that may not even read them
.When I give brochures to people I always say to
the recipient 'please don't throw this away its
worth a LOT of money'. That makes them read it
for sure because we are all curious are we not.
One
last very important point is this, YOUR ADS must
grab the readers attention otherwise all is lost
and be consistent when you advertise. Decide
whether you are going to do it once a week or
however often you can and make it a habit. Never stop
.!
Be
realistic and build your business properly and
use the team support at your disposal as well as
the guides & training that is accessible to
you. If there is none you are in the wrong earning program. Go
forth and prosper. Want to leave your job
because you are sick of it
? YOU CAN. Want
to get out of debt? YOU CAN. Want a great extra
income each month? EARN IT.!! If you desire
success you have joined the right opportunity.

HOW TO
WRITE YOUR OWN CLASSIFIED ADS ( Unknown)
What
makes a classified ad good or bad? First of all,
it must appeal to the reader, and as such, it
must say exactly what you want it to say.
Secondly, it has to say what it says in the least
possible number of words in order to keep your
operating costs within your budget. And thirdly,
it has to produce the desired results whether
inquiries or sales.
Grabbing
the reader's attention is your first objective.
You must assume the reader is
"scanning" the page on which your ad
appears in the company of two or three hundred
classified ads. Therefore, there has to be
something about your ad that causes him to stop
scanning and look at yours! So, the first two or
three words of your ad are of the utmost
importance and deserve your careful
consideration. Most surveys show that words or
phrases that quickly involve the reader tend to
be the best attention-grabbers. Such words as:
FREE... WIN... MAKE BIG MONEY...
Whatever words you use as attention-grabbers, to
start your ads, you should bear in mind that
they'll be competing with similar
attention-grabbers of the other ads on the same
page. Therefore, in addition to your lead words,
your ad must quickly go on to promise or state
further benefits to the reader. In other words,
your ad might read something like this: MAKE BIG
MONEY! Easy & Simple. We show you how!
In the
language of professional copywriters, you've
grabbed the attention of your prospect, and
interested him with something that even he can
do. The next rule of good classified copywriting
has to do with the arousal of the reader's desire
to get in on your offer. In a great many
instances, this rule is by-passed, and it
appears, this is the real reason that an ad
doesn't pull according to the expectations of the
advertiser.
Think
about it - you've got your reader's attention;
you've told him it's easy and simple; and you're
about to ask him to do something. Unless you take
the time to further "want your offer,"
your ad is going to only half turn him on. He'll
compare your ad with the others that have grabbed
his attention and finally decide upon the one
that interests him the most. What I'm saying is
that here is the place for you to insert that
magic word "guaranteed" or some other
such word or phrase. So now, we've got an ad that
reads: MAKE BIG MONEY! Easy
& Simple. Guaranteed! Now the reader is
turned on, and in his mind, he can't lose. You're
ready to ask for his money. This is the
"demand for action" part of your ad.
This is the part where you want to use such words
as: Limited offer - Act now! Write today! Only
and/or just...
Putting
it all together, then your ad might read
something like this: MAKE
BIG MONEY! Easy
& Simple. Guaranteed! Limited offer.
Send
. to:
..These are the ingredients
of any good classified ad - Attention - Interest
- Desire - Action... Without these four
ingredients skillfully integrated into your ad,
chances are your ad will just "lie
there" and not do anything but cost you
money. What we've just shown you is a basic
classified ad. Although such an ad could be
placed in any leading publication and would pull
a good response, it's known as a "blind
ad" and would pull inquiries and responses
from a whole spectrum of people reading the
publication in which it appeared. In other words,
from as many "time-wasters" as from
bona fide buyers.

So let's
try to give you an example of the kind of
classified ad you might want to use, say to sell
a report ... Using all the rules of basic
advertising copywriting, and stating exactly what
our product is, our ad reads thus:
MONEY-MAKER'S
SECRETS! How To Write winning classified ads.
Simple & easy to learn -should double or
triple your responses. Rush
.. to ABC Ltd,
29 Main Anytown, TX 75001. The point we're making
is that:
l) You've
got to grab the reader's attention...
2) You've
got to "interest them" with something
that appeals to them...
3) You've
got to "further stimulate" them with
something (catch-phrase) that makes them
"desire" the product or service... 4)
Demand that they act immediately...
There's
no point in being tricky or clever. Just adhere
to the basics and your profits will increase
accordingly. One of the best ways of learning to
write good classified ads is to study the
classifieds - try to figure out exactly what
they're attempting to sell - and then practice
rewriting them according to the rules we've just
given you. Whenever you sit down to write a
classified, always write it all out - write down
everything you want to say - and then go back
over it, crossing out words, and refining your
phraseology.
The final
ingredient of your classified ad is of course,
your name, address to which the reader is to
respond - where he's to write for further
information. Generally speaking, readers respond
more often to ads that include a name than to
those showing just initials or an address only.
However, because advertising costs are based upon
the number of words, or the amount of space your
ad uses, the use of some names in classified ads
could become quite expensive. If we were to ask
our ad respondents to write to or send their
money to The Research Writers & Publishers
Association, or to Book Business Mart, or even to
Money
Maker's Opportunity Digest,
our advertising costs would be prohibitive. Thus
we shorten our name Researchers or Money-Makers.
The point here is to think relative to the
placement costs of your ad, and to shorten
excessively long names. The same holds true when
listing your post office box number, shorten it
to just plain Box 40. The important thing is to
know the rules of profitable classified ad
writing, and to follow them. Hold your costs in
line.
Now you
know the basics... the rest is up to you.

I
always feel sorry when I am approached by someone
who has no clue on how to advertise his or her
business. For me there are three components to
succeed in business:
You MUST have passion for your business.
How can you possibly succeed in your business if
you do not love what you do. Not everybody was
born lucky as Pete Sampras, Leonardo DiCaprio or
Tiger Woods who found something they loved very
young and quickly became highly successful.
Most people may have to wait longer to find
something they really love and hope to find the
success they expect. It took me 6 years to find
what I like and that was being a marketing
consultant. Before that I tried many things, but
I was never successful because I did not have any
passion for those businesses. The biggest
challenge is to quickly realize if you like that
business or not. If you do not have the passion
for it, you'll never be successful. If you are
passionate about what you do, you will most
likely work long hours, have fun and help a lot
of customers with your business. Please be smart
and if you are trying to launch a business you
may want to avoid starting an online business where you
will be selling items like gifts
baskets.
Just think about it. How many people go online
and buy gift baskets online? What are their
chances to find your site among billions of other
sites? The Internet is a place where many people
go to find information. So if you decide to sell
selling gifts baskets online you may want to
think twice. Another type of business I would
probably think twice before I start that type of
business is if you have to compete with big
chains, such as The Home Depot, Pizza Hut,
WalMart etc...
You need to have a little budget to advertise
your business or affilioate programs........ .
Well I guess you probably realize that you need
some money to advertise your business. You do not
necessarily need a lot of money but you need some
if not the phone will never ring. I say you do
not necessarily need a lot of money as you may
think because I started my business from home
with no money. I was
doing cold calls to businesses. During the first
three months of my business I did a little online
advertising and believe or not but after only 3
months my business kicked off and I never
had to make a cold call again. Conclusion: There
are many forms of advertising you can use to grow
your business and you do not need to spend a lot
of money.
Marketing your
business.
That is not an easy task when you are just
starting in business and there are no mentors to
help you. Many people feel hopeless. When they
first begin to devise a marketing plan for their
business. One of the most important factors is
deciding how you will get potential customers'
attention. Here are some tips to make them notice
you so you will standout from your competition.
There are many forms of advertising your
business.
a) Flyer distribution
b) Direct mail advertising
c) TV advertising
d) Radio advertising
e) E-mail marketing
f) Banner advertising
g) E-mail co-registration
h) Pop advertising
i) Pay per click search engines advertising Cost
Per Click (CPC)
j) Lead generation - Cost Per (Lead CPA)
k) Keyword advertising
l) Newspaper advertising
m) Affiliate programs
n) Yellow pages/online yellow pages
o) Viral marketing
p) Coupon advertising
How do you attract new prospects or get more
sales from past clients? Here are 21 techniques
that will help succeed in your
efforts to market your
business.....................
1) Offer what your competitors
dont!
Study your competitors to see what benefits your
competitors are (or are not) offering their
customers, and see if your business can offer an
added benefit such as free consultation, free
delivery, free upgrades, free information
booklet, free sample(s) etc. -- to your customers
to help increase the value of your product or
service to prospective clients.
Announce this new "benefit" in your
promotional materials. This is probably the most
important of the 21 techniques to increase your
sales and learn how to market your business. Ask
yourself the following questions:
WHAT DO I OFFER THAT NO ONE ELSE OFFER?
WHAT CAN I OFFER THAT WILL MAKE MY OFFER SO
IRRESISTIBLE THAT IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO REFUSE
IT?
Once you answer those two questions you
wont have anymore problems with
competition.
2) Study your customers
As you get clients, invite them to share their
feedback. Use this information improve your
business but to also send reminder notes, thank
you letters, and even birthday cards. That will
demonstrate to them how important they are to
you.
3) Special offer!
Send a notice to your clients and prospects and
let them now you have a special deal for them.
Let them know as well that this is a special for
them only and no one else can get this deal.
4) Frequent-buyer program
Create a frequent-buyer program that let your
clients use points or credits to get products for
free or get discount towards future purchase.
(i.e) buy 9 coffees and the 10th one will be
Free)
5) Product combos at special pricing
Put together product combos at special prices.
This not only sells more products, but also may
help create loyal customers by including a
product they might not have thought they needed.
Make sure your combos represent great value.
6) Web deal
Have special Web-only deals. This works well if
you also have a retail shop, but it will work
either way. As long as you have information
available that allows customers to buy by phone
or fax, you can have specials for those who use
the Web.
7) Free shipping or delivery
Offer free shipping or handling within the
country or a certain geographic area.
8) Introductory offer
Create a higher "perceived value" for
your customers by adding free samples,
introductory offers, coupons for future
discounts, etc.
9) Price
Price your products competitively. Remember,
people shop around. Make sure you don't price
your product
too low, or people might think it's of a lower
quality; but price your products too high, and
people won't buy at all. The moral here: Do your
pricing research on your Web competitor's
products before you price your own
products/services.
10) Upsale your customers
Use the Amazon.com technique of adding a
"Customers who purchased this product also
bought these items...." section to encourage
customers to buy additional related products. You
can also offer a few upgrades and make higher
sales.
12) Call to action
With any advertising materials, it's crucial that
you get potential customers to act. Now! Use the
following techniques to
create a call to action that will increase your
sales:
GIVE A DEADLINE FOR ORDERING
We've all received some sort of promotional
material that has a deadline for ordering. The
offer could end on that date.
Or you could use the deadline in conjunction with
an upgrade or free gift. For example, order by
the 15th and receive....
Also, try to make the cut off date in the same
month as your materials will be received. That
way, your potential customers
know they only have a limited time to respond and
they won't fall victim to the "I'll do it
later" syndrome.
ADVISE OF A PRICE INCREASE
People want to get in on a good deal. If your
price is going up on a specific date, let your
customers know. They'll want to
buy before your product's price increases.
13) Create a newsletter or a blog.

You need to create a newsletter to stay in touch
with your past clients and prospects to remind
them about your offering.
Your newsletter should be very valuable if not
you will lose all credibility and all possible
chances of doing business with them in the
future. It is very important to Write articles
that demonstrate your expertise in your field.
14) Cold calling
Get on the telephone and make "cold
calls." These are calls to people who you
would like to do business with. Briefly describe
what you do and ask for an appointment to talk to
them about ways you can help them meet a need or
solve a problem.
16) Free samples
Get samples of your product or your work into as
many hands as possible.
17) Free quote
Offer a free, no obligation consultation to
people you think could use your services. During
such consultations offer some practical
suggestions or ideas -- and before you leave ask
for an "order" to implement the ideas.
19) Referrals
Learn to ask existing customers, prospects and
casual acquaintances for referrals. When you get
them, follow up on the leads.
20) Use other people to sell your
product or service.
Look for existing mail order companies that would
be willing to include your products in their
catalogs, or for distributors or sales agents who
would be willing to sell your products or
services. If you have a website get affiliates to
sell your products and services. An affiliate
program is any type of revenue sharing program
where an affiliate web site receives a portion of
income for delivering sales, leads, or traffic to
a merchant web site
21) Get noticed by
"revitalizing" your business
If you have been in business for awhile, see what
you can do to inject some excitement into your
business (i.e.) "New and Improved!" You
can re-invent your logo; get a Website or update
it be more interactive; announce a new
"mission statement," for serving your
customers with improved services or products, or
other ways to let people know you are progressive
with your
business to better serve them.
Anticipating future market needs and changes is
as important as satisfying current markets. New
technology, growing international trade, improved
communications and increasingly sophisticated
buyers have all increased the pressures on
suppliers to make continuous improvements in
their products and services.
A world of continuous change means markets grow,
mature and disappear much faster now. Companies
must continually assess the value of the markets
they are in, planning, if necessary, to enter new
ones for growth or survival.
