Promoting m.l.m. sites

by Ron Farleigh

This section deals with people who are using sites supplied by M.L.M. companies. IE Six Figure Income, Viva Rebates, Cognigen etc. If you have built your own web site, refer to Web Master Freebies for information on meta tags, and designing to maximize search engine rankings.

If you have read the pages headed Getting Started and Advertising, one of the most powerful tools you have to promote your web site, is your e-mail base , and your press advertising. But don't just add a list of all your web sites at the end of each e-mail, people will just ignore them, instead copy the home page of the site you wish to promote, and save it in 'my documents' then simply add it as an attachment to your e-mail, make it worth their while to look at the attachment, for instance with Going Platinum, you can point out that they can benefit from the company co-operative referrals. or with Cognigen mention the free pager as being particularly useful, always make sure there is a link to your site.

Another method is to feature a different M.L.M. program every month, just a few lines at the top or bottom of your e-mail, with a link to your site. You can customize your e-mails with your logo, or the logo of the product you are currently promoting , using the free service provided by Bravenet, and by using auto responders to give your potential customers a feeling they are dealing with a professional organization. For these tools check out the Webmaster Freebies page.

How would you like to be able to e-mail your program to 7 million interested people, ( not spamming), there is a great free program that helps you build such an e-mail data base in a short time. check it out at now.

Help on compiling e-mails can be found on the webmaster freebies page.

search engines.

Search engines are a very popular, and effective way in which to publicize your site. These can be divided into two groups, the free search engines and the pay per click search engines. The free search engines of which there are 1,000's, you simply submit your site URL, with a short description, and hopefully it will be listed usually within six weeks, some search engines check the content of your home page, others read the meta tags. Of all the search engines, it is estimated that the top 20 search engines generate 90% of all searches. Resubmit your URL every month to all the search engines you use. There are several companies who will submit your URL to several 1,000 search engines for a small fee, and some who will do it free, see Webmaster Freebies. Tip, submit the url of every page of every site you have.

The Pay per Click search engines, are a good source for generating new business, GoTo is probably the best for promoting M.L.M. sites, you only pay for the people who visit your site. The more you pay the higher up you are on their rankings.

Your own home page

Most ISPs give you enough web space free, to put up your own web page,usually for your own personal use, although some may allow you to put links on to your own affiliate sites, Viva Rebates, Six figure income, Cognigen etc. With most copies of Windows, 95,98,2000,ME 2000,there is a program called Front page , {start, programs, accessories, internet tools,} Front page has a simple to use program, with a template that has built in links, you should have no difficulty in making a good looking site, with this quick and easy program.

Maximizing Your Internet Marketing Strategies

By Shelley Lowery

Developing a successful Internet marketing strategy is the key to your online success. Your strategy not only involves your marketing and promotional efforts, but your web site will also play an important role. You must develop and implement both short-term and long-term marketing strategies to bring a continuous flow of targeted traffic to your web site.

Developing a powerful strategy is a very important part of your success. However, unless your web site is specifically designed to sell, your efforts will be useless. You must look at the entire picture before you begin.

Short term marketing strategies are those that bring you a temporary boost in traffic. Although these techniques are very important to your over-all plan, they are only a temporary traffic source and must not be solely relied upon.Short-term marketing strategies include:

Purchasing Advertising

This form of short-term marketing includes ezine advertising, banner advertising and classified ads. Although it is important to occasionally purchase advertising, it is short-term and will produce short-term results.

Bulletin Boards

Although sharing your expertise at popular bulletin boards can provide you with a boost in traffic, it is a temporary boost. It will not continue to produce results. Most boards only display a certain number of posts and the rest are archived.

Search Engines

Obtaining a high ranking in the Search Engines is a never-ending battle. You may have a top ten ranking one day and the next day your site may disappear. It is very important to submit your web very time consuming -- your efforts may be better spent on more

effective marketing techniques. In order to create a steady stream of targeted traffic to your web site, you must also market for the future. Long-term marketing techniques are those that will continue to produce results even years down the road.So what are some of these long-term powerful techniques? Here's a few to get you started:

Opt-in lists

Ask for your visitor's name and email address. In return, provide them with a valuable publication, a free course or some other valuable information. By continuously building your opt-in lists, you're creating a long-term database of potential customers.

Freebies

Give away something of value engraved with your name, business, product or service. Your freebie might be software you've created, a free ebook, or even a free course. The key to creating a long-term marketing freebie is to allow it to be freely distributed. If your freebie is good, it will quickly saturate the Internet and continue to circulate eternally.

Content

Provide the Internet community with free content. Content comes in a variety of forms such as articles, tutorials, tips, reports or whatever you'd like. Allow your content to be freely published in ezines and web sites. Content is a highly sought after commodity and can provide you with a great deal of free exposure for years to come.A solid Internet marketing plan will include everything from your ad to your thank you and follow-up letters. Each process in your plan must perform a specific task.

1. Your short-term marketing strategies will drive traffic to your web site in intervals. Each time you place an ad, your traffic will increase. After a few days, your traffic will drop off.

2. Your long-term marketing strategies will drive a steady stream of traffic to your web site. Your traffic will continue to increase over time.

3. Your ad must draw your potential customer's attention and create curiosity. It must lead them to click through to your web site.

4. Your web site will then take over and provide further information, while leading your potential customer to your order page.

5. Your order page will be packed with all of the benefits your product has to offer and call for action.

6. Your marketing plan will continue to be implemented by closing the sale with a thank you letter.

7. Your final step will be to send follow-up messages in the future to provide good customer service and introduce new products.A marketing plan is an absolute must. If you have no direction, you'll travel in circles and ultimately never reach your goals. Plan your work then work your plan. You may be pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
