When I first started my internet home business, I
realized that in order to make money I would have to
bring visitors to my website. I didn't have a lot of
extra cash laying around, and my mentality at the time
was "Why would I pay for it, when I can get it for
free"? So, I starting searching the internet for places
that would accept an ad for my product for free. I was
very happy to find literally thousands of sites willing
to accept my ad.
As the weeks went by I worked hard and learned a lot.
The phrase that comes to mind when I think back is, "you
get what you pay for". I was placing ads on the internet
every free moment I got and was getting very little
results. Not being one to quite, I figured I would move
on to another form of advertising or figure out what I
was doing wrong with the free advertising.
As soon as I placed my ad, I would go back and look at
it. I expected my ad to be at the top of the list since
I had just placed it. Much to my surprise, my ad was
listed down the list a little way. I realized that at
the very moment that I was placing my ad, others were
doing the same. And as each person placed an ad, mine
moved further down the list. In my infinite wisdom... I
realized that potential visitors would probably not
search past the first page before choosing a product.
So then I decided that I would go into that site and
place my ad every few hours. This way I knew it would
always stay close to the top of the page, and hopefully
be viewed by a potential customer. How right I was!!!
Eventually, I had my first customer and had made my
first sale on the internet! What a feeling! I was ready
to take the internet by storm...
The week ran into the weekend, and I continued in the
same way with my free ad campaign...and no luck. Several
weeks went by were I was getting visitors and making
sales through the week, and none on the weekend. Are you
seeing a pattern here? I sure did. I soon discovered
through statistical data that I pulled up from a search
engine that the internet traffic on the weekend is super
low compared to the weekdays. I also learned that the
internet traffic is at its peak around the noon hour in
the US.
From that day forward, I didn't waste my time
advertising on the weekends. Instead, I would sit down
around 11:00 a.m. every morning and run as many free ads
as was humanly possible. I could just about plan each
day at noon that I could get a potential customer,
affiliate, sale.
I'm also a firm believer in the phrase "work smarter,
not harder". It didn't take me long to figure out that I
could utilize copy and paste and run the same ad in
every category that it applied. I also used the back
button on my browser a lot. Most of the time by using
the back button, all my information was still there and
I could just choose a different category.
It wasn't long before I had several paying customers and
was bringing in a small monthly income from my small
internet business. I often try to teach this method to
my members who cannot to pay for advertising to start
out with...without much luck unfortunately. Many will
not sacrifice their time to this extent, or they will
run one ad on the internet and expect to get up the next
morning and be a millionaire.
For those of you who don't have the money to invest, you
will HAVE to invest your TIME. How much is your time
worth? Many are drawing 6-figure incomes from the
internet within 2-5 years. The internet has made more
millionaires from the average Joe than any other vessel
in history. Is 2-5 years a hard pill to swallow? It
shouldn't be. How many of you are going to work your
nine to five job for 40-50 years and have nothing to
show for it?
Am I still running free ads? No, I'm not. I took my very
first paycheck that I earned from free advertising and
put it back into paid advertising. I can reach a vast
number of customers with paid ads with no effort on my
part at all. Instead, my time has been filled with
teaching others to do as I have done, and building my
own business day by day.
Not a day has gone by in the last year and a half where
I have not built onto my business. I started out running
free ads, then I moved on to paid ads, ppc's, email
lists, enzine ads, then I built and optimized my own
website, got link partners, got listed with the search
engines, etc...
If you want to turn your life around and live without
any financial constraints, then the internet is the
place to be. All it will take is patience, persistence
and the will to succeed on your part.
Best Wishes for your future success and prosperity!
