I know you are probably saying that you've heard it all before. Find a good program, promote, promote, promote, promote! Well,
you're right, but let's look at the aspect of promoting. Its a
pivotal word as well as action that will determine whether you
win or lose. I like to use the old advertising adage, say it
again and then say it again. See, if you look at any group of
ads, they all basically say the same things. "Join My Program
and Get Rich Quick." Not likely, at least quick anyway. If it
were that easy, everybody would be doing it. But, lets get to
the nuts and bolts of things. When you begin to market your
programs, have you actually sat down and developed a plan? All
successful businesses do. Have you determined or set any goals?
All successful business people do. The reason why you see the
same ads running consistently is because someone is responding
to them. People are biting, and thats what you want, you want
your worm to hook the fish. So, how do you do that? By
developing a plan and implementing it. If your desire is to
run a successful home based business, then make your FINANCIAL
goal to be two times the amount you currently make working a
real job. I say "real job" kind of tongue-in-cheek, because
this will become your real job when you become successful. Say
you want to set a goal of making $10,000 a month. That is good.
Now write that $10,000 down on a piece of paper on the very 1st
line on that paper. Then directly under it, decide how you are
going to accomplish it. Do you have a program that you may have
joined as an affiliate? Or do you market a specialty that many
people don't do as well as you? Whatever commodity you have to
put on the open market, write it down. This will become the
means in which you
accomplish your end. Let's say for all
intensive purposes you are an affiliate to a wildly successful
downline building program. You have decided to upgrade from a
free member into a paying member. As we all know, you don't
really taste the fruit until you plant some seeds. Now that you
are a paid affiliate, how do you convince, sell your product?
You don't want that money to go down the tubes. You could go
into your members area, and look for ready made advertising.
Some of the more resourceful programs offer this asset.
However, if none is available, then your marketing effort poses
another challenge to you. You must create killer copy,
attention getting headlines, plus figure out a method to market
this thing. Already, you are thinking you may have
overestimated the the difficulty of this task. Its not
difficult at all. The method I use to promote my businesses is
simple, traffic exchanges, safelists, viral marketing, search
engines, and ezine ads. You see you must approach this thing
with a certain ferocity. If not, it will consume you, and leave
you lying on the side like roadkill. These are some of the
tools to use in marketing your business. In my next article, I
will go into detail on Traffic Exchanges. Are they worth the
time? Do they really get the job done? How much time should
you surf for credits? I personally am in contact with my
downline daily, because I want them to succeed. Instead of
the upline succeeding 1st, the downline must be successful in
order for success to be realized in the upline.
Happy Marketing,
