A Mini Peek At What's Hot And What's Not!
Opt-in lists are a very hot item at this time. There are many Free lists and even more pay lists. Most of the pay-to-join Lists also offer an affiliate program so you will have the Opportunity to earn some side money while promoting your Business or product. Most of the lists are "targeted". You Can choose a list that is directly related to your business, or You can send your ad to a generic list. The majority provide Responsive members. At the very least, they eliminate the Use of junk email addresses as they require a verification from The user email address. How long will these lists be effective? Who knows. They are great right now, so use them while you Can.
Ezines are also hot, but unlike the opt-in's, I believe their Popularity will hold as long as the editors are providing both Content and advertising for their readers. The majority of Ezine subscribers are responsive. Of course, some ezines will Produce better results for your specific needs. As a rule, paid ads Get better results than free ads because of their placement in The ezine. In any event, do some research and be selective. It Will save you some grief and some cash.
What about Free classifieds? Frankly, with a few exceptions, I Personally feel they don't work well at all. I haven't tried them All, for sure there are too many, but of the hundreds I did try, only 5% of them brought any results. Nothing to rave about, but, I'm not sorry I tried them. Try for yourself, you may have better results.
On the subject of FFA'S ! If you are a regular reader of ezines, you Likely have seen my articles on FFA'S. My personal experience is That they DO WORK. The one I use has provided not only "leads", But "sign-ups" as well. Maybe I'm just lucky, or perhaps I write Good headlines and content. Whichever it is, I am a proponent of FFA'S. They are not "silver bullets", and you won't have hundreds Of people begging to join your programs or buying your products, But you will get responses. Give them a chance to work for you.
Email signature (sig) files should be used on every email you send Out. I even use them on my advertising emails either to re-inforce My main ad or present a secondary offer. This is cost effective Advertising, its free! Just set and forget. Most email servers have A signature option. If yours does not, switch to one that does.
I absolutely love startpage and click-thru programs. The programs Will bring "hits" to your website, and a few of these will turn in to Bona-fide visitors. The ideal method to use these programs is by Building a downline, at least 5 persons, so you don't have to spend Hours building your own "click" credits. You will always have to Give some time to retain your active status, but the endless clicking Will come to an end eventually. The program I personally use Allows me to promote just one URL, no matter how many programs I have joined, and it builds my downline in all of them. Talk about Viral.
By now you may have noticed I did not discard any means of Advertising. Use the really good ones, but try all of the available Methods. Track your results and build your own file of "good" Advertising spots. You must advertise to be successful, so just Go for it!
