Online Avertising Will Thrive in Weak Economic Times

One of my friends forwarded this article to me, and I thought it was a good article for you to read. Whether you sell advertising, or you use advertising, it is one thing you need to do a lot more of, especially now when the economy is weak.

Even though the economy may look bad right now, it’s actually possible to flourish in times like these. I’ve talked about it before: the economy is cyclical. That means that when it goes down, it will go back up again. It also means that there is always opportunities to make more money regardless of the condition of the economy. It’s just up to you to make sure you take advantage of those opportunities.

Now is not the time to worry. You really need to just hit the ground running. Plan new campaigns. There are plenty of ways to market your  business online that are free, and there are tons of places you can go to market your business online that will get you a lot of traffic.

If you haven’t read my ebook, 1001 High Traffic Sites to Market Your Business for Free, I suggest you do it now. This ebook contains around 60 pages of places where you can market your business, and they’re all free. If you just market to a few places in the ebook, you can quickly and easily double, triple, or even quadruple your traffic. It really is that powerful.

I finally finished the updates to my member site over the weekend. I’ve changed the payment processor to Clickbank to give my customers more options.

I’ve also added a completely new book I’ve written that will really help you jumpstart both your marketing and online business building efforts.

It’s called: “Internet Marketing to GO! Cashing in on Online Business”

It is 100 pages long, but I promise you that it’s an easy read. The reason is that it includes a whole lot of worksheets to help you get started with both your small business start up and marketing. You also get access to thousands of dollars in resources I use to market my business. Stuff no one is telling you about.

There’s also the $100 in 24 hours plan. This plan will show you how to start earning $100 in 24 hours and also includes a couple of ways to earn $100 every day.  Easy to do stuff that doesn’t require a lot of technical knowledge.

For premium members, I’ved added over 8 hours of audio from my 7 figure mastermind group. I’ve kept these guys a secret. I credit them with a lot of my success this year, and they have really helped me.

There’s more, but I have made this an incredible value for the price of the membership. Also, I have scaled down the tutorials. There are about 10 of them right now, but each contains only the absolutely most essential resources you need to help you make money online.

It’s estimated that around half of the small businesses in the United States don’t have a website. Without a website, these businesses are missing an opportunity to widen their exposure and get more business.

Maybe your business doesn’t translate to online. However, if you sell any type of products or services, you may also be able to offer these online. As long as your products can be legally shipped according to postal regulations, you can take your business worldwide.

Here are five reasons why you should consider building a website for your business:

1. Provide information about your products and services.

A website is far more than a brochure. You can provide extensive information about your products and services including descriptions and photos. You may also want to provide additional information about your industry with articles or news. News about your business is also good to include.

2. Sell products and services directly.

With payment processors like Pay Pal and Google Checkout now available, it’s easier than ever to sell online. All you have to do is create a page about your product and a payment button, and you can start selling in minutes.

Make it easy to shop on your site. Process orders promptly, and let your customers know when they can expect to receive their shipments.

3. You can reach a global audience.

You are no longer bound by your local audience. You are able to reach millions, possibly billions, with what you sell. Anyone who is on the internet will be able to see your offers.

Even if what you provide is local, you will still find those who contact you for more information because they need your service. A good example of this is someone who is relocating and needs a real estate agent, a home inspector, or more information on services provided in the new community.

4. Your business is open 24/7.

You don’t have to be there for your website to be working for you. Barring any type of outage, your website is available for customers to visit at any time. They can do so at their convenience and don’t have to worry about getting to your physical location by a certain time.

5. It’s less expensive than having a brick and mortar business.

In fact, many businesses are run completely online. Other than a home office, many businesses are only available on the internet. This decreases the costs of doing business because building and hosting a website nowadays is pretty inexpensive.

Regardless of what type of business you run, if you want more business, or you just want to expand your presence, building a website is the way to go.

I really wish I had time to go to book signings. I love meeting people, and it always feels so good when people tell you, to your face, you’ve done a good job and helped them.

However, many who are writers are either introverts, or they’re like I am: they don’t have the time to get out and market their books in the “real world” because of various reasons like family commitments.

Thankfully, with the internet, it’s easier than ever to market your writing, and you can do it all from the comfort of home.

Although these tips will work with just about any kind of writing, these tips are meant to help you market your books. Regardless of what you do to promote your book, you want to use your promotions to connect with others and build your following.

By building a following, every time you release a new book, you already have an instant market. This is the real secret to making a lot of money from your books.

1. Get the most out of Amazon.

I have to say I love this site because it gives you so many ways to connect with your readers. List Mania, blogging, forums, profiles, and reviews. Consider Amazon as a place to get started with your book marketing. Browse the site. Study Amazon Connect, the service for connecting with your readers. Take advantage of everything this site has to offer and get busy marketing.

2. Write articles.

OK, so I’m very partial to this marketing technique. Quite simply, it works. Article writing and marketing is such an easy way to market because it allows you to qualify your prospects. When they read your article, they will know if you are offering what they’re looking for (provided you craft a resource box that relates to what you offer.)

3. Send out a news release.

Your book is definitely news. The way you present this news will determine whether or not others read your press release.

Visit top press release sites and study them carefully. Look for releases of new books. Use what you learn to craft your press release and then write your own. Distribute it to as many sites as you can.

4. Write a blog.

A blog is another public relations tool for you and a great way to connect with your readers. Use a blog to help you build a relationship with readers to build your following. Provide tips, articles, reviews, and other information related to your topic. This will also help you qualify your prospects as long as the information you are offering showcases how your book solves the problem.

5. Offer a free teleseminar.

Free teleseminars are easier than ever to now, especially with tons of sites offering free teleconference options. Sign up for a free account with one of these sites then promote your free teleseminar. During your teleseminar, make sure you tell everyone about your book and show how the book will solve their problems.

Give away a copy of the recording of your class to promote your book.

6. Use social marketing tools to promote.

Social marketing tools include sites like Twitter, bookmarking sites, video sites, and others. Send out a tweet to let others know about your book, bookmark your book page, or create a video book tour. By offering details about your book in different formats, you will have a broader appeal with those interested in your book.

7. Use social marketing to connect.

Social marketing sites like Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, and others allow you to connect with others and build relationships. Create a profile on this sites and get involved. Just make sure you stick to your topic.
