Hello Todd;
Online marketing success is not a one shot deal! In my experience, success has been a slow, consistent application of an integrated marketing program.
Most home based marketers do not understand that the key to drawing traffic to your site or product is implementing an INTEGRATED marketing strategy. The internet is a very unemotional and indiscriminating entity. It is purely a numbers game! Whoever draws the most traffic to their product has the CHANCE to succeed.
As I said earlier, you must use a combination of free classified ads, targeted social media marketing, targeted forum marketing, a structured daily marketing schedule and finally you must develop a home business mindset.
Here are some FREE online advertising sites that have worked for me:
www.backpage.com
www.classifiedads.com
www.freeadvertisingforum.com
http://classifieds.myspace.com
www.thefreeadforum.com
www.adlandpro.com
www.adpost.com
www.centralclassifieds.com
www.freeadvertisingboard.com
www.freeadvertisingzone.com
www.freeadvertisingforum.com
www.craigslist.org
http://www.oodle.com
Please note, it is not just a matter of posting and forgetting. To work, it should be part of a daily marketing program where you devote at least 30 mins/day to post to one or more of these sites.
Nobody said it would be easy, but the few marketers who are succeeding are those who are consistently using and implementing these integrated strategies. The beauty of the entire program is once set up and implemented, it produces a stream of residual income from the internet. It will take about 2 - 3 months for you to start seeing REAL results depending on the effort you put in.
If you would like more lists of free marketing places, or discuss some of these strategies please send me a note at mvobizgm@hotmail.com

Hey Todd,
Hands down for me are article and video marketing. I get indexed quickly because the sites I submit to have high PR's. Not only that, you can automate it and send your content to over 500+sites in one day. Technology is amazing and it's child's play too!
Anyone else?

Great Info Michael. Man do you think like I do. MLM's don't fail, people fail and why? Understand this first: They forget or fail to acknowledge the Law of Large Numbers before they begin any sales, marketing or MLM career!!! It describes the result of performing the same experiment a large number of times. According to the law, the average of the results obtained from a large number of trials should be close to the expected value, and will tend to become closer as more trials are performed. If you don't understand this Law and fail to make it a priority you are doomed. Thats why people fail in sales and MLM. Money does not fall from the sky just because you set up shop online. There are no legitimate get rich quick opps. You do have to put in hours and contact 100 people per day. 95% of people in sales fail because they only market to a few people and expect big results. Success or failure rates in this industry are directly proportional to the number of people you contact every day.

Great question that I have the privilege of answering Todd.
Free traffic, I believe is best generated by the top web sites that have the most traffic using your own blog and capture pages.
you may very well know of www.alexa.com by now for ranking purposes.
But there is far less competition on some of the social sites like hi5 and plaxo. so there could be that expert positioning you are looking for as you state your unique value proposition in your marketplace.
Your marketing and copywrite is so key Todd. Its about what unique content you can produce and with what consistency.

Thanks for asking your question,
Affiliate Marketing is something that works for me, working on
multiple income streams, only the commisions usually aren't very high.
(except for some of the front end sales products
that affiliates use to attract people
for their higher prices back end sales.)
So that's why I also sell my own product that has a
higher profit margin.
All the Best,
To your Happy - Home Based Business - Inspiration,

Hi Todd
As you know the internet is a changing every day
new trends in advertising are showing up every day
Note Michaels reply.
It a time thing it takes time to get going to create your own list.
It takes time to find the products or services you want to promote.
One HAS to have a marketing plan even if your using Free Classified ads, social media marketing,and number of other marketing options.
The key to your successful online business is to have your own list once you have a list that are your own contacts.
You can promote any product, service, program, website
Remember that a lead checks on avg 7 to 10 times before signing up or a purchase.
EX : send ten of the same ad one sign-up or purchase
The problem is if there ten other people using the same promotions ( ads , web pages)
they are doing the same thing as you.
What happens the market for that product or service get flooded with the same ads and promotions and they stop reading your ads and sites and move on.
How to beat this ?
Simple by create Your own splash pages.
Use headlines that grab their Attn:
You are trying to get response trigger
EX: How to Lose 20 pounds in 1 month!
- The worlds greatest Internet Business ever!
- How to make $500 a month.
- See what everyone missed!
- Guru's greatest secrets For Free!
- Ten of MLM's best tips of all time!
- NEW... see what everyone is talking about.
Keep your splash page simple .. The idea here is to get the person to that a look at product or service.
But what your really are doing is creating your list.
In order to see what ever product or service or info they have to offered their will give you their names and emails.
You have started your own list if people.
Later on now that you have them on your list you can now send them more info or what products services or websites you are promoting.
remember 7 to 10 times before the sign-up or purchase on avg.
Everyone heard story's about how someone made $ 1000 a day! HOW
They had their own list.. simple
It take Time and one has to have a plan Just Like Michael says.
I have followed the learning curve that every new person goes though trying to promote one services or products.
Sends ads and posting to forums, using safe-lists, text ad exchanges, social media sites, Viral down-line builders, auto submitters, and so on.
Yes I has some success and had a few purchases and sign-ups
And just every sign-up I ever got went to some other company's data base NOT MINE!
If that person does purchase a product of service will they again the answer is YES ..
Who going to gain from this?
Why the person who has them on their List!!
Here where 97% of new internet markets go wrong
You will see it everywhere the money is in the list,Create a List this part is CORRECT..
What most people do is they create a list for someone else or the company they are promoting.
Yes they pay you ... this is good thing
but somewhere down the road they will be sending that contact some info about this or that .. are they going to pay YOU! not likely..
The contact has purchase some kind of product or service and chances are they will again..
Now if they where just on your list.
Here is where 97% people fail or give up!
Its not that the product or service is not a good thing.
Its they do not have their very own list to promote what products or services.( I learned the hard way)
Yes lists take time to build.
Yes some planning and tools are required.
Look ahead 1 year from now ... you have a list of 500 contacts or larger..
you send them one ad for a $10.00 product or service and maybe only 1% purchase
lets check 500 x 1% = 5 x $10.00 = $ 50.00 one day one ad ...
Send a different ad every day ! 30 days X $50.00 = $1500.00
The big thing here is they are contacts that you know will purchase one or more products and services over time.
Good luck Todd
I hope this helps

Do You Need Extra Income?
Do you have a PayPal Account? (If Not the set up takes 10-15 minute)
Does $50 000+ in your PayPal account sound like something you'd be interested in?
That's Right. $50 000+ dollars in your PayPal Account.
IT WAS PROVEN ON OPRAH
You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as
20/20 and Oprah, or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal.
If not, here it is below - revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This
program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at
least a decade. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and
effort, as well as an investment of a few hundred dollars. However thanks to
PayPal and the Internet, the investment is now virtually ZERO! And what's
more, the entire process is FASTER, EASIER, and MORE LUCRATIVE than it has
EVER been!
How to Turn $6 into $20,000 in 30 Days with PayPal
I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW HOW MUCH MONEY CAME FLOODING INTO MY PAYPAL
ACCOUNT. I turned $6 into $20 000 within the first 30 days of operating the
business plan that I am about to reveal to you free of charge. If you decide
to take action on the following instructions, I will GUARANTEE that you will
enjoy a similar return! STILL NEED PROOF? Here are just three testimonials
from the countless individuals who decided to invest nothing more than $6
and half an hour of their time to participate in this program:
"What an amazing plan! I followed your instructions just three weeks ago,
and although I haven't made 15 grand yet, I'm already up to $9 135. I'm
absolutely gob smacked." -Pam Whittemore , Ohio
"Well, what can I say? THANK YOU SO MUCH! I sent 40 e-mails out like you
said and then I just forgot about the whole thing. To be honest, I didn't
really think anything would come of it. But when I checked my PayPal account
a week later, there was over $5,000 in After 30 days. I now have over
$11,000 to spend! I can't thank you enough!"-Juan Tovar, NY, NY
"I was shocked when I saw how much money came flooding into my PayPal
account. Within three weeks my account balance has ballooned to $12 449. At
first I thought there had been some sort of error with my account!" -Richard
Barrie , Boulder,CO
The only things you will need are:
· An email address
· A Business or Premier PayPal account with at least $6 deposited in it, and
· Just 15 to 30 minutes of your time.
This program takes just half an hour to set up. After that, there is
absolutely no work whatsoever to do on your part. You have absolutely
NOTHING to lose, and there is NO LIMIT to the amount of income you can
generate from this one single business program.
Let's get started, just follow the instructions exactly as set out below and
then prepare yourself for a HUGE influx of cash over the next 30 days! Here's
what you need to do.
REQUIREMENTS
[THESE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED VERBATUM FOR THIS TO WORK...O.K]
· #1) an email address
· #2) a Premier or Business PayPal account
Now follow the steps: 1-4
STEP #1 - Setting up your FREE PayPal Account
It's extremely safe and very easy to set up a FREE PayPal account! Copy and
paste this to the address bar https://www.paypal.com (notice the secure
"https" within the link). Be sure to sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS
account (and not just a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won't be able to
receive credit card payments from other people.
STEP #2 - Sending PayPal money "It is an undeniable law of the universe that
we must first give in order to receive." Now all you have to do is send
$1.00 by way of PayPal to each of the SIX email addresses listed below.
After setting up your free paypal account and confirming or verifying YOUR
ACCOUNT AND putting (SIX Dollars) $6.00 into your PayPal Account. Use the
Account tab on PayPal to send $1.00 to each of the names on the list with a
note "Please add me to your list."
Make sure the subject of the payment says... *PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL
LIST* (this keeps the program 100% legal, so please don't forget!)
(Just in case you still haven't opened your PayPal account yet, use this
link to open one in your name), https://www.paypal.com
#1) teasxa7@gmail.com
#2) jacquelinecuf@yahoo.com
#3) leadgenie@earthlink.net
#4) thanksgrayton@hotmail.com
#5) madmoney09890@yahoo.com
#6) jusgiz41@yahoo.com
(Make sure it's the same e-mail address that you used to open your PayPal
account. This is the way you will receive payment)
STEP #3 - Adding Your Email Address
After you send your payments, it's your turn to add your email address to
the list!
Take the #1) email off the list that you see above, move the other addresses
up one (6 becomes 5 & 5 becomes 4, etc) then put YOUR email address (the one
used in your PayPal account) as #6) on the list.
**MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN YOUR PAYPAL
ACCOUNT**
STEP #4 - Copy Message to 200 Newgroups, message boards,etc. The Pure Joy of
Receiving PayPal Money!
You are now ready to post your copy of this message, to at least 200
newsgroups, message boards, etc. (I think there are close to 32 000 groups).
All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you
make - as well as everyone else on the list! In this situation your job is
to let as many people see this letter as possible. So they will make you and
me rich! You can even start posting the moment your email is confirmed.
Payments will still appear in your PayPal account even while your bank
account is being confirmed.
HOW TO POST TO NEWSGROUPS & MESSAGE BOARDS
Step #1) You do not need to re-type this entire letter to do your own
posting. Simply hold CTRL key and A to select all, and then copy, either
with CTRL+C or select 'copy' from the edit menu. This will copy the entire
letter into your computer's clipboard.
Step #2) Open a blank 'Notepad' file and place your cursor at the top of the
blank page. From the 'Edit' menu select 'Paste'. This will paste a copy of
the letter into notepad so that you can add your email to the list. Or copy
to a Word Document and Place in the email upon completion.
Step #3) Save your new Notepad file as a .txt file. If you want to do your
postings in different sittings, you'll always have this file to go back to.
Step #4) Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups, on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites,
discussions, discussion groups, online communities, etc.
EXAMPLE: go to any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com,
excite.com - then search with subjects like millionaire message board? Or
money making message board? Or opportunity message board? or money making
discussions? or business bulletin board? or money making forum? etc. You
will find thousands & thousands of message boards. Click them one by one
then you will find the option to post a new message.
Step #5) Visit these message boards and post this article as a new message
by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting 'Paste' from the 'Edit'
menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the header that everyone sees as
they scroll thru the list of postings in a particular group, click the post
message button. You're done with your first one!
Congratulations! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different
newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang of it, it will take about
30 seconds for each newsgroup!
REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS AND/OR MESSAGE BOARDS YOU POST IN, THE MORE
MONEY YOU WILL MAKE! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200**
That's it! You will begin receiving money within days!
**JUST MAKE SURE THE EMAIL YOU SUPPLY IS EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS ON PAYPAL.**
Explanation of why it works so well:
$$$$$ NOW THE WHY PART: Out of 200 postings, say I receive only five replies
(a very low example). Then I made $5.00 with my email at #5 on the letter.
Each of the five persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200
postings, each with my email at #5 and only five persons respond to each of
the original five, that is another $25.00 for me. Those 25 each now make 200
MINIMUM posts with my email at #4 and only five replies each, I will bring
in an additional $125.00! Those 125 persons now post the MINIMUM 200 with my
email at #3 and only receive five replies each, I will make an additional
$625.00! Now here is the fun part: each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM
200 letters with my email at #2 and they only receive 5 replies that just
made me $3 125.00! Those 3 125 persons will all deliver this message to 200
newsgroups with my email at #1 and if only five persons per 200 newsgroups
react I will receive $15 625.00, with an original investment of only $5.00!
AMAZING! When your email is no longer on the list, you just take latest
posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to emails on the list,
putting your email at number 5 again. And start posting again. The thing to
remember is, thousands of people all over the world are joining the internet
and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU ARE now!
So can you afford $6.00? And see if it really works? I think so! People have
said, what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? What
are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users
and new honest people who are joining the internet and newsgroups every day
and are willing to give it a try?
Estimates are at 20 000 to 50 000 new users sign up every day, with
thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and
HONESTLY and this will work. This really isn't another one of those crazy
scams! As long as people FOLLOW THROUGH with sending out $5.00, it works!
With warm wishes, bless you and your loved ones, https://www.paypal.com
$$$$$DON'T PASS THIS UP $$$$$
