How you ask? By using free online classified ads.
What are online classifieds?
In the offline world, there’s a tool that’s very popular with small business on a budget, a tool that helps them reach HUGE audiences—newspaper classified ads. As you probably know, these ads are very popular with the owners of a home based business. We ourselves have used them often, and perhaps you have too.
What about businesses that market online? Well, there’s an online equivalent to newspaper classifieds—yes, you’ve guessed it, online classified ads! This tool will help you reach thousands of potential customers or distributors for very little investment.
In fact, online classifieds are even more effective than their offline counterpart because they give your potential customer or distributor the opportunity to click through a link to immediately get more information about the product, service or business opportunity you are advertising!
Online classifieds can be a quick, cheap (even free) way to increase the traffic to your web site, build your prospects list, increase your online income and sales because they allow you to:
1-Promote your product, your service, and / or your business opportunity.
2-Test your headlines, banner ads and text links (before you decide to use any of those in places that cost a fair bit more money—like newspaper ads for example)
3-Test your salescopy (by placing several identical ads linked to different copy, and by tracking which salescopy converts the best.)
4-Collect the email addresses of targeted potential customers, prospects and leads
That last one could be extremely profitable in the long run if you practice what’s known as Magnetic Sponsoring (1). Just design a classified ad that offers the readers a free article, eBook, or newsletter. When the reader clicks your "click here now" button to claim their "gift", they’ll be asked to enter their email address, and their gift will be sent to them electronically via an autoresponder (2).
This is a really easy way to collect the email address of people who have an interest in your product, service, or business opportunity so that you can begin to build a list and develop a relationship with them.
Remember this extremely important point made by guru Kevin Hogan in his brilliant eBook Success For Affiliates:
"Contrary to what you hear all the time, the money is NOT in the list. The money is in the RELATIONSHIP you have with the people on the list!"
The truth is that online classifieds can be a great source of prospects and income. Unfortunately—for them, fortunately for you—the majority of home based business builders don’t know how to take advantage of them. We’ll explain why in a minute (see "bad news…"), but first let’s take a quick look at the two places where electronic classifieds can appear: ezine classifieds and classified ad sites.
In regards to the first place—ezine and newsletter classifieds—you will find all the info you need here.
Now, let’s talk in detail about the second place to post online classifieds—classified ad websites.
Did you know that there are thousands of free classified ad sites on the Net? These sites will allow you to post your ads at absolutely no cost, giving you a cheap opportunity to drive more traffic to your websites—resulting in more signups and more sales.
Of course, you need to be prepared to work at it. Placing your classifieds on one or two sites isn’t going to do much for your business. Depending on how much traffic a particular ad site gets, it may be a few days before someone clicks through your classified ad to your site. This could be a long, slow process before you close a sale or sign up a new distributor.
That’s why submitting your ad to the free online classifieds is a numbers game. If you want to generate the most traffic, sales and signups, you need to submit your ad to as many ad web sites as you possibly can. And remember that there are THOUSANDS of them.
Ok, the bad news first…
It’s for that very reason that most home based business builders marketing on the internet will never harness the full potential of online classifieds. This gold mine of potential sales and signups will never be within their reach for one simple reason: manually entering classifieds at thousands of ad sites is just too time-consuming.
First, you’d need to locate thousands of URLs for those various classified ad sites. This in itself can be a daunting task! How would you know which sites are worth your time and effort?
Second, once you’ve located the good sites, you can expect to spend 5 to 10 minutes PER SITE submitting your classified ad. This means that in order to submit your classified ad to 1,000 ad sites, you would need to work full-time for THREE weeks—repeating the same boring task over and over and over. Personally, I think I’d rather shave my head with a cheese grater!
And those 3 weeks would not even include maintaining your ad placement within the sites—because as soon as you’ve submitted your ad it will start to slide down as other people post their ads!
Now for the good news!
We submit on a regular basis 15 different classified ads to over 5,000 online ad sites, for FREE, in under 30 minutes!!! Is it because we’re fast typists? Not a chance.
It’s because about 8 months ago we purchased a very inexpensive but extremely useful piece of software called Power Submitter. This marketer’s little helper allows us to automatically submit our numerous classifieds to all those ad web sites with the click of a few buttons.
Here’s how it works in 5 easy steps:
1-you type your classified ad (actually 6 different versions of your ad to accommodate the requirements of the various sites—but the instructions are very clear so it’s a really simple and easy process)
2-you save your ads (so you don’t have to type them again the next time)
3-you select the categories (up to 10 for each ad) where you want your ads posted (Example: home business, MLM, work at home, health & nutrition, etc.)
4-you choose the sites where you want your ads posted (grouped conveniently by the number of days your ads will stay visible—3, 7, 14 or 30 days)
5-you click on ‘GO’, plus a couple other buttons, and you ‘GO’ have a cup of coffee.
When you come back 30 minutes later, your numerous classified ads will have been submitted automatically to over 5,000 ad websites, ALL OVER THE WORLD!
And new sites are added weekly. When we started, Power Submitter was posting our ads to just over 2,000 sites. See how they’ve grown in only 8 months!
This is an easy and cheap way to get lots of great website traffic, boost your sales and your signups. And here’s the very best part—we think. We’re willing to bet the house that if you were to ask 100 other MLMers in your company or in your circle of influence, you would not find more than one or two people—MAYBE—who are using this software. Talk about an easy way to beat the competition!
It won’t be that way forever though as the designers of the software are getting more and more pro-active with their marketing. And of course, people like us who use it and love it are starting to shout about it from the rooftops.
So our recommendation to you is this: before everyone on the planet hears about this gold nugget of a software, follow this link and get yourself a copy. http://tinyurl.com/yu2a96
It might take you an hour in total to place the order, download the software, review the many tutorials on how best to use the software and how to write great ads. And you’re ready.
Then it’ll take you maybe another hour in total to carefully craft a dozen great ads, and you’re ready to click the GO button.
Then, as we suggested earlier, you go have a coffee, or read the morning paper. In total—from the moment you order the software—you could have a dozen free classified ads posted on 5,000 ad sites ready to be seen by millions of people in the time it takes to watch a blockbuster movie. Except you don’t make money from watching movies, but you will from posting classifieds online. We know that for a fact because we do!
