This page is to help you with your advertising promotions. You are welcome of course to use this page as a guide and to advertise whatever it is you want to advertise. However, do keep in mind, that I have created this page for my '1StepSystem' team. Therefore, you may see reference made to '1StepSystem' in regards to ads and various other information directly pinpointing the '1StepSystem'.

If you are not a '1StepSystem' member, you may wish to click on the banner below and register for the free telesiminar conference call. You will see why and how the '1StepSystem' works.

What I find the largest problem people have in promotions is not knowing where to advertise. They find themselves spending more and more of their time trying to locate places to advertise. If they already knew where to advertise, they would be spending their time more productively and achieving what they are trying to achieve.

By the way, if you have not joined Agloco, you may want to do so right now. It is totally free. You may need to imput my Agloco id number : BBBB1910 .... click on the banner below to join Agloco (page opens in a new window).

The second largest problem is not knowing how to write an ad.

The third largest problem is not following up with people.

So all these above problems result in a very large percentage of loss. Loss that could have been prevented quite easily.

The information on this page is going to show you how to prevent those problems. By preventing the problems, your sales will increase and/or you will achieve what you were never able to achieve before. Also, this page is geared at FREE ADVERTISING.

The reason why this page is geared at free advertising is because most people are involved in what I call dime cent programs. If you are in a dime cent program then it really makes no sense to spend dollars advertising. For example, if you are paying $10 or $20 a month for a program you are in, you probably don't want to go out and spend money for advertising. That is the problem with dime cent programs. This is not to say there are not dime cent programs that are good. It is to say that people in general just won't bother to pay to promote the opportunity. In addition a dime cent program is most certainly not going to be paying you much when you do achieve sales/signups.

This is where the '1StepSystem' does have a big advantage. Members can afford to pay for advertising. With their first sponsored, they have just about broke even. With their second sponsored they are several hundred dollars in profit. So just with the second sponsored, they have money to pay for some advertising if they so choose to do so. Not a '1StepSystem' member? Listen to the free telesiminar call by clicking the banner below :

There will be a link on this page in the near future, at the bottom, that you can click that will take you to information about paid advertising. Ok for now lets getting started with free advertising.

The very first thing you need is a redirect url. The reason why you need a redirect url is because you want a short url and because you don't want to make it blatantly obvious as to what you are advertising. The reason why you don't want to make it blatantly obvious as to what you are advertising is because many people will think they already know it, even if they don't. So this is an important step because you need to get people to your site and if they don't click your link, guess what? They won't be going to your site.

Go to http://www.tinyurl.com and get a free redirect url. It's easy. Just paste in your referral url and out will arrive a short one. Write the short one down and save it. You are going to be using it a lot.

The next thing you need is a couple of solid traffic exchanges to use. You can get free ones that I have listed on my site in the left column at http://www.agpcommunity.com

You don't need to use an abundance of traffic exchanges. Two or three good ones to help drive traffic to your site. If you have hosting and create a gateway/splash page like the one below, you will want to use it in the traffic exchanges. It does not matter what you are promoting, you really need a gateway page to use in your promos. This is because most programs and companies give their members replicated websites that all look the same. You need your page to stand out from the crowd. In addition, a gateway page you can place metatags, meta keywords into it. That will help you get placed into the search engines.

http://www.mrbluemarketing.com/1stepsystem.html

If you are a 1StepSystem member, I will create a gateway page like the one above for you and host it for you. The links and info will be edited to you. Of course if you have hosting, you can set up the page yourself on your own hosting account.

If you don't have a hosting account, I strongly suggest you get one. This is where a lot of people truly waste their time trying to promote things and they don't even have their own website. You need your own domain name and you need a dot com domain name. So if you don't have those things, you are truly missing out a great deal. Go to godaddy.com and choose a dot com domain name ... it will cost you less than ten dollars a year. Go to

http://wwkiosk.com/members/valgal to enroll for a platinum kiosk membership. Kiosk has fantastic hosting in addition to various resources, training and help. I strongly suggest Kiosk because you will also be in a forced matrix and eventually be able to break even, and earn money with it.

If you do enroll for the platinum membership at Kiosk, I will help you set up a website. Read the instructions at my forum about how I help you set up a website : http://www.mrbluemarketing.com/forum In addition, you can locate a lot of help at my forum over there whether you have a hosting account or not.

So now we can look at a brif summary of what you need to really get started promoting the right way and started at resolving the problems I described earlier on this page :

Once you have those things, you can also use the redirect service to paste in your long gateway page url and get a shorter non obvious redirect link.

Now you are all set to really get down to free advertising.

Be sure and bookmark this page because it is really going to grow with more places for you to advertise....especially in regards to newsletters and ezines.

Newsletters and Ezines are probably the greatest form of advertising online even for free. Not all those publications will allow free advertising but many will. A major thing I want to stress is, when you place a free advert in newsletters and ezines, you want to keep doing so in all the publications, at least 7 to 10 times. Because the more people of that publication see your ad, the more serious they are going to take it, and the more they will come to actually clicking on your site, and taking seriously what you are advertising.

Before you even begin subscribing to the newsletters and ezines that allow you to place a free ad in them, you need to do a couple of things. And that is, you need to have an email account specifically for those newsletters and ezines. This will keep you organized and all those publications in one email account. The next thing you want to do is actually create some ads to submit in those publications. You need to open up a word document on your computer, create several ads, and save them. This is all going to keep you organized and save you lots of time.

Do not just write up any ole ad. Take time to review your ad, try to make it better. The reason why I say to create several is because of the publishers rules. Some publishes may only allow a one line ad, whereas others may allow a three or five line ad. So create several ads to fit these rules.

In the '1StepSystem' we already have some ads in our member area that we can use. I am placing them here so you don't have to log in and see what I am referring to :

Bet if you had put forth the time
and effort to create your own program it
would have looked something like this:
http://tinyurl.com/ornoe

As you can see in that ad, I have placed my tinyurl for the telesiminar conference call registration page for the '1StepSystem'. However, just by reading that ad, it builds curiosity and no one knows what it is until they click the link.

Bet if you had put forth the time
and effort to create your own program it
would have looked something like this:
http://tinyurl.com/mswbj

As you can see in this above ad, I use another redirect link that actually goes to my gateway page. So here again, people still do not know what you are advertising until they click the link.

This next ad is very similar to the one we have in our '1StepSystem' backoffice but I have removed the actual program name from the ad :

Believe it or not thid id a powerful
program that does the work for you.

but they’ll gladly send you $500 dollars.

http://tinyurl.com/mswbj

As you can see, all the above ads create a curiosity for people to actually click on your link to see what it is. No matter what you are advertising, you need to take time out to use good solid ads that build curiosity. And for the most part, you want to leave the program name out of the ad.

Lets now get into how and where we locate newsletters and ezines to subscribe to.

The best place to search is : http://www.google.com/

After arriving at google, just type in some keywords to do a search :

newsletter listings
ezine listings
newsletter offers free ad
ezine offers free ad

Notice I say 'listings'. This is because you don't want to spend hours searching through pages at google. Find the websites that actually list various newsletters and ezines. Once at the listing site, you can probably use your CTRL + F key to find the ones that offer free ad placement. When you use the CTRL + F key a small box will open and you will simply type into it 'free ad'. Then click the scroll down key on the box. It will stop on the listings that state they offer a free ad placement. Subscribe to the publication with your email account you have set up for just ezines and newsletters. Follow the publishers instructions for submitting your free ad. You may want to make notes or print out the publishers welcome message that lets you know when and how often you can submit your ad. This will keep you organized. You can even compile the instructions in a folder by the day of the week. Sunday's folder, open it, submit your ads to the publications that say to submit on Sunday. Do the same thing each day of the week.

How simple is that? It is very simple and it won't take long to submit your ads. Why? Because you already have your ads saved in a word document so all you need to do is paste in your ad for submittal.

You'll want to visit this page often because as I stated earlier, I will be adding lots of advertising resources. In fact, I will be listing many many publications below, that do offer free ad placement. Now how simple is that!

NEWSLETTER and EZINES that offer FREE AD PLACEMENTS :

Now lets move onward to some other places you can advertise for free.

Safelists are a great free way to advertise and I don't care who disagrees with me on that. Sure many people that use safelists will never see your ad. But many people will see your ad. The best thing to do is get a good safelist submitter that subscribes you to all the safelists within the submitter, all automatic. That is going to save you a whole lot of time and I do mean a lot of savings on time. Then all you have to do is type in your ad and let the submitter do the work for you. It really is that easy. Here again, you need to get a specific email account just for receiving all the members of the safelists ads.

The reason why safelists don't work for many people is simply because they do not know how to create eye catching subject lines nor do they create ads well enough nor do they enter their complete information in their message. In addition, there are people that will submit to one or two safelists once in a blue moon. Instead, use your safelist submitter every day or at the very least three times a week. Use the same ad for several weeks.

You'll need to place your thinking cap on, create subject lines and messages that really draw attention, spark curiosity. Let's look at the ad below :

Subject Line :

How would you like to Earn $500 Per Day with…

Message Body :

How would you like to Earn $500 Per Day with…

NO Selling…
NO Phone Calls…
NO Speaking To Prospects…
NO Explaining or Answering Questions…
NO Closing…

Is it possible?

It is and it works!

As you can see from the above ad, I have a subject line that creates enough curiosity for the viewer to actually open the message. The body of the message is kept brief but at the same time states some important facts about what can be done for people. In addition, it displays my tinyurl so here again, no obvious recognition, and I give plenty of good solid information about how to get in contact with me. If people cannot contact you, then you certainly are going to lose out.

Simply by utilizing traffic exchanges, safelists, and lots of ezines and newsletters, and doing it on a continuous basis, and in the way that I explain above, you will make sales.

There are more places to advertise too and I will get into those down this page. Remember what I said at the beginning of this page? I stated three major problems people have with advertising. I've explained ways to resolve a couple of those problems. The third problem I stated above is the fact that most people do not follow up. In that I mean, they do not follow up with prospects that actually contact them wanting questions answered, wanting more information, wanting someone to chat with them over a messenger service, etc. In addition, they do not take the time out to follow up with people that do NOT contact them but optin for more information.

You can even place your phone number and/or email address in your ads. And it is a good idea to do so. Not only will this prove your credibility, you allow people to actually contact you. And when they contact you, you can follow up with them as need be. If they don't sign up or buy what you are selling, you can contact them again in a few days, explain more about the product or the opportunity.

If you use an autoresponder system, you should be using one that has a broadcast feature on it. And you should be using that broadcast feature at least once per week. It is the broadcast feature that is also your follow up feature. You can email everyone in your autoresponder through the broadcast feature and remind them of the product you have, what it can do for them etc.

You have to remember in the day and age we live in, people are busy, they forget things, they don't always see every single message or read every single message. The sale can truly be in the follow up. If you are not following up, you are missing out on over 50% of sales that would have been made had you just followed up.

At MrBlueMarketing.com and AGPCommunity.com I have a couple of free classified ad sites that are very good. For the most part, classified ad sits are not worthy enough to bother with. However, as stated, I do have a couple listed that free advertising does work on them for many people. Here again, its about creating a good ad and when the time frame runs out for your ad, just go submit again.

Below is a list of Free and Low cost advertising sources that I have NOT totally checked out but by way of a good friend, has relayed these to me. I'll will be back later, listing newsletter and ezine publications that offer free ads. I will also be listing some additional information such as how to's for forum adveritising and more.
