Congratulations!
Your web site is done.
But
where is everybody? Many people believe
that - "if I build it, they will come".
Wrong!!! They will not even know that you exist.
Here's the statistics: The average web site gets one
sale for every 50 to 80 hits. If you only get 50 hits
per week, that's only one sale per week. Basically, you
need to get your hit counter spinning. But, not only
that, these hits must be 'Qualified Hits' (people who
are looking for the type of product you're selling). You
need 'qualified' hits to make the sale.
You CAN
be in the 5% of people who make a LOT of money on the Internet.
It's not hard to do. You just need to learn
how to get traffic to your web site. If you spend the
time to do your homework, you WILL be a big success on
the web.
So, how
do you announce your web site to the world? How do you get
'Qualified Hits' to
your web site? There are many ways to do this. Many of
them are FREE and others may cost a little bit of money.
A few things which are NOT recommended, such as running
ads in large magazines and newspapers, can be very
expensive and produce very poor results.
Online
advertising is totally different from 'brick
and mortar' type advertising. Although offline
advertising may produce marginal results for a few types
of businesses, as a general rule of thumb, this type of
advertising will NOT work well for online sales. To be
effective, what you will need to do is spend a little
time learning a new way to advertise your products
and/or services online.
Knowledge is profits. If you
don't take the time to learn a few online marketing
concepts, then don't expect the big profits.
We will
ONLY discuss Online Marketing Techniques and
a couple simple offline things. They ALL will be either
FREE or relatively inexpensive. If you want to find out
more about affordable advertising opportunities, you
have come to the right place. This area of our web site
is designed to help you learn the 'Ins and Outs' of
online promotion.
Since
online advertising is constantly changing all
the time, we will constantly update our articles and add
new ones on a regular basis. Please keep coming
back to see all the new articles about the latest Online
Marketing Techniques. Also, existing articles will
change with time to reflect new information, links and
techniques.
