Advertising Your Business

Is there value in Free

For a long time I have been preaching people to take care when signing up for something that is free, because there is little value in something that is free, usually marketers will entice customers with free offers, just like supermarkets, buy one get one free, sounds much better than 50% reduction.

I used to have a number of sites where I used to offer free leads, ebooks, software and even holidays for free and maybe I have suffered from being hoist my my own petard as these methods have proved to be largely ineffective.

Don't get me wrong in this worldwide economic downturn the word Free does attract a lot more people but the more discerning are aware of the catch. If you fill in contact details in a box online you can expect that someone will contact you to try and sell you something. so you must think carefully is what is being offered for free worth something to you.

One site I do like on the Internet is IBOToolbox, I have used it for a number of months and it has a few tools such as URL shorteners and a blogging system which can help improve your search engine results. It also allows you to advertise with banners and text boxes on its site for free, provide you remain active in a social way and this has helped my business.

Yes a few people have tried to sell me on their business, but I have my hands full with what I am doing, so I tend to ignore them, I look to help people to help themselves.

I am even now working on a project which I believe will change the online marketing arena forever, so watch this space.

Marketing Your Business

Do you have the right tools

Operating a business weather online or offline requires you as a business owner to invest time and money to become successful, there is no magic short cut, even someone such as Ed Mercer a Billionaire spends many hours a day on the phone talking to people about his business ventures.

Ed Mercers latest project is to create 100 new millionaires, he has done the hard part and researched the market and selected a product that will provide the best way of achieving his Goal of creating a new Guinness World Record. He has agreed to share what he is doing with 100 people and mentor them to success. If you believe you have what it takes, then why not join him.

Ed Mercer certainly know how to work offline but is surprisingly a novice when it comes to the Internet, however he has learnt that the Internet can vastly expand his sphere of influence so is making full use of lead capture pages, autoresponders, blog,conference rooms and social marketing systems to spread the word provided by a leading marketing company with a track record of success.

You can spend quite a lot of money if you purchase subscriptions on an ad hoc basis for example Aweber charge $19 a month for a basic system and this increases as your subscriber list grows. GoToMeeting costs $49 a month for a small room,

You can very soon find your costs mounting from $70-100+, as you add more items such as blogging systems, hosting and the like, so it makes far more sense to find a package that integrates all your tools in one place.which makes your business us easier to administer.
