To Build a Business Online, You Need Traffic

And Your Own Website...

Special web hosting offer - LIMITED TIME ONLY

You Need Traffic to Your site

In order to sell anything, you Need people to sell to. Whether you have a Store in a Real Mall, or a site on the Internet, You need people and traffic to show off what you have. Otherwise, you have a pretty site with neat information and products, that's not doing anything.

Don't believe the people that say all you have to do is put up a Website and that's all. If you build it, they won't come if they don't know it's there. You got to tell them. Give them reasons to click over and see what you have to offer.

On this page I'll give you some advice on how to do just that. How to Promote, Advertise, and get the word out.

If you don't mind, I'm not going to cover this page with a lot of Banners flashing and taking forever to load. For the most part, I'm just going to provide you with the links and some comments.

And this is an important thing to consider if you build your own site. I visit many sites and one of the things that turns me off fast, is a site FULL of Banners. I'm not about to spend time on a site waiting for it all to load. I've got to many other things to do. Remeber most people are on dial up connections, and they are slow.

This is especially true when using Hit Exchanges. There's only 25 to 30 seconds for the site to load before the timer tells me I can move on. If your site isn't loaded enough for me to see what you have, there is not a chance in the World I'm going to hang around long enough to see what you've got.

So, keep it simple. And lose the Flash, I don't have time to wait for it.

Safelists

What is a Safelist? A Safelist is an E-mail list of people who have signed up to receive or paid to receive E-mails from other members of the list. Now, there are a few programs that will not let you Market this way for fear of Spam complaints. I'll give you a way around this in a minute. If a list is a good one, Spam is all but eliminated.

A good list will always have a removal link in every E-mail sent out. It will have a central control so members who wish to be removed can be done automatically. The last thing you want is to be sending E-mail to people who don't want to receive it.

Most of the good ones charge something for you to be a member. And there are rules that you must follow. Some let you send E-mails once a day, once a week, or once every two weeks. Don't break the rules!
 
Be sure to use a special E-mail address or two just for Safelists, you will get a lot of Mail.
 
There a Hundreds of Safelists out there, just go to your favorite Search Engine and look for them. Join a few as free a member and then look for new ones just starting that offer free Pro memberships and join them.
 
Safelists come and go, paying much of anything to be a member is risky. Keep that in mind.

Permanent Classifed Ads

You get Your Ad on thousands of sites Permanently. These sites are Free to use and may well be a great way to make use of Safelists without give out your Opportinuties URL.

The way this works is fairly basic. You're given a site with several ads on it. You join and add your Ad to the top or the bottom. Promote the heck out of that site and all those who join you post their Ads and you move up or down. After a while your Ad is on Hundreds of sites. And it's all Free, though most will have some kind of upgrade to offer, but you don't need it if you can't afford it.

It's not Hard to Give away something that's Free and helps promote your Main Opportunity.

About Search Engines

If you have a site, you have to get it listed in Search Engines. If you think this page is long now, just let me go on about Search Engines. But I'm not going to do that here. No, I'm going to give you links to a site that says it all. And it's the Best Search Engine Submittion Service I know of. Robert Woodhead is the Owner and he's Very Funny, and Knows his stuff. Take the time to Read the site, there's a lot to it, and it's all good.

Hooting Owl - The Wise Way to Search

One of the things Search Engines look for these days is how many sites Link to your site. That's why I have a Links page, to trade links with other sites. It helps me and them. The best way to do this is by hand, but here's a site you can use to get started.

Free Business Cards and a Redirect URL

If you Promote off Line there are a few things you are going to need. One is a short redirect Web Address. I suggest using beam.to/ they're free and they don't require a banner or a pop-up.

http://beam.to/

Use that redirect on all your Fliers, and handouts. It'll be much easier for people to remember and use. Plus you can be sure they get to your site and not some Corporate site because they were to lazy to type in the whole address.

And you're going to need Business Cards to hand out to everyone. Here you can get them Free for just the cost of Shipping and Handling.

I ordered some for this site and they came out Great.

About Meta Tags

Advertise with Ezines

Some of the best advertising out there is through Ezines. Think about it, people sign up for an Ezine to learn about a certain subject. If you have a site or an Opportunity that fits what the Ezine is about you have tapped into a target audience. And that's the best way to Market, to a Target audience. Most Ezine charge for advertising, but there are some who offer Free ads in hopes you'll Love the Ezine and keep reading it. Here's some Links to help you out:

My Wizard Ads Great prices on Ezine Ads

10Dollar20Ads and Our SafeList

Solo Ads and Guaranteed Hits

Classified Ads

Classified Ads maybe one of the first things you think of when it comes to promoting. And they can be very good. But there's a lot of people out there doing the same thing. So you have to come up with a Great Title for your Ad so it stands out.

And watch out for FFA sites. That's "Free For All" sites. They used to be a wonderful place to run a short Ad and get a Link to your site through. But at this time it's almost a waist of time. Your Ad or Link will fall off the site, sometimes with in hours. And if you do a mass submission to these sites, you had better have a junk E-mail account because you're going to get a TON of "Thanks for you Link, here's my program" replies. And I mean a TON.

Some people say it's better to own an FFA site and beable to get all those lovely E-mail addresses for your own "Thanks and here's my program" letters. Sad to say most of the people posting to these sites have junk E-mail addresses, and that's just what they use them for, JUNK. Most of those replies are deleted or are blocked from even being seen. So why bother?

But for those want try I'll give you a link to a submitter as well as some Great Classified sites.

Message Boards

Message Boards are Great Places to get the word out about your site or Opportunity. If they allow it. I'll give you a few links, and I'll be adding more as I stumble on them.

Just look them over, register so you can post, and get to know the folks that hang out there. They know a lot and can be a great source for you.

Hit Exchanges

These are neat little programs that are Free to join and work very simply. Once you're logged in, for every site you visit, you get a visit to one of yours. Most offer 1:1 exchanges, though some are 2:1. Now if you do this, you will see a lot of "stuff" out there. Most of which should be looked at carefully if you even think of signing up.

This can be time consuming work, but it gets Hits to your site. And if you keep at it, and promote your Exchange you will see some results. Most of these work like a little MLM all of their own. The more folks you have join them through you, who make use of the Exchange, the more Hits to your sites you'll get.

Now some say these things don't work. While I know of others who do nothing else to promote their Opportunities, and are doing Very well. As with anything, you must be consistent. So, give them a try, here's some links:

Click Thru.com (earn cash or Hits)- sp

ezhits4u.com

The iLoveClicks Network

Traffic Generation Network - sp

Ezytaffic.com - sp

Hit Pulse Free Traffic - sp

NoMoreHits.com - sp

ClickSilo.com - sp

- sp = They have a start page exchange

Hit Exchanges with a Start page Exchange means you can set you Browser to the URL they give you so everytime you open your Browser Window a Members site is shown and that way you earn credits toward your site being shown. The Programs very, but that's the basics.

Now, if you join BuildReferrals and use the rotator URL they give you, you can rotate through all your start pages automatically. (But I don't recommend the paid programs they offer.) Promotion on auto-pilot.

Your Own Website

If you're in more then one Opportunity it's a Very Good idea to have your own Website. A paid for site is best and they are not that expensive. And getting your own domain name is something you simply MUST do. Here's a link to one of the least expensive sites to get your domain, and they offer a free forwarding service too. So you can have the real domain forward to, say a free site, or the site your Company gives you.

http://StarGateInc.com/

If you like the look of my site I'll give you my Host's address. If you purchase from them, tell them you heard about them through Shop-Money-Time.com.

http://www.OLM.net

And this Free Site Host uses the same builder I'm using, but remember, with a Free site, you'll have some kind of banner or pop up to live with.

http://www.Tripod.Lycos.com/

But if you need a free site without banners, here's a link to a page on Find My Host, listing several free and banner free hosts for you to check out.
 

I told you this was going to be a long page with lots of Links.

God Bless You and Thanks for Visting
