Terrible isn't it?

You just joined this wonderful new MLM and you're rearing to go! Then you think... go where and how?? Here are 10 ways to promote your MLM that'll get you started on the way to your first recruits

1. Free classifieds - Though not as great as they once were, if your MLM program is free to join you will get some takers. The trick is to keep posting often and keep your ad up there.

2. Ezine Ads - These are cost effective and very targeted so you don't waste your advertising dollars. Use classified ads if you have a small budget and don't place any ads in ezines you haven't read.

3. Your Optin List - Even if you have a small optin list, this is a great source for your first MLM affiliates. If you don't have one start one right away.

4. PPCs - The Pay Per Click Search Engines is a good way to get leads but prepare to spend alittle. It's very important to switch up your ads because many people use the same ones.

5. Exit Pop - You can use an exit pop up to promote your MLM, just place it on any pages getting traffic right now.

6. Articles - Writing an article makes good search engine food plus, you can submit it to ezines for even more free exposure.

7. Free Ebook - Sometimes all it takes is one good free ebook to increase your traffic like crazy. You can include your MLM sign up link and let it fly.

8. Forum Sig/E-mail sig - Make up a small 5 line ad and put it at the bottom of your posts and mails. You'd be surprised at how this one thing adds up.

9. Join Traffic Exchanges - Free traffic exchanges like traffic swarm let you place your ad free into their network so you can get alot of visitors daily targeted by catagory.

10. Trade Ads with an MLM Ezine Publisher - If you own an ezine you can ad swap with him, just make sure the subscribe page has an ad for your new program.

Use these steps to start you off on your new venture and teach them to your recruits. You'll soon have a florishing downline you can be proud of.

“I Made $17428 in Profits Last Month” Thing author:Edvard Halupa source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/online_business/article_1662.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:15 category:online_business article:

On many sites that consider themselves to be helpful to the community of people that try to make an income on the Internet you’ll find messages of this type. Those are similar to paid TV commercials for “internet informational” products with testimonials from newly made millionaires.

Question for you: If it is that easy [to succeed in i-biz] as they say, how come we are not all millionaires?

Let’s explain the myth: Internet business, if you seriously get in, you’ll find it out sooner or later, requires TIME, effort, money and good old fashioned luck to succeed. If you were about to start earning huge sums in your first month after buying their (informational, formula to succeed, software, etc.) product, first of all you would need to have enormous luck. Since you can’t effectively invest that much time and money to learn all the tricks that first month of work with their product, realistically you can’t expect that high returns in such a short time.

Believe me, online business can be harder than the “dirty world” business for at least two reasons: First is very competitive environment, since competitors could be just one click away and theoretically all you need to be in the race is build a website and choose the product you want to sell.

The other reason is, as I call it: Digging in the mud. When you have a website and try some promotional techniques, you start to ask yourself things like: why it works for my competitor and not for us? We use same technique, we have similar websites and still he’s driving traffic to his website and I we are not?

Actually, the more research you do in this (internet promotion) field, you will discover the more and more things that affect internet promotion, and some things [techniques, methods] you took as granted might not work anymore. You took them for granted because someone somewhere wrote that it worked for him. But that could be x time ago and that might have been different conditions.

My advice is: Do not get confused by those “quick-rich” schemes, but rather go and do your own research. If you want real life examples, find and read interviews from persons that really built their online businesses by learning and trying different promotional techniques. Not everyone who can write an article and claims himself as successful marketer must actually be one. But if the person is a webmaster of a site with a reputation or editor of a newsletter with 100 000’s subscribers, I’m sure I want to hear what he has to say. And remember those three factors: time invested, effort invested and old fashioned luck.

1, 2, 3! The Numbers Are The Key author:Donovan Baldwin source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/online_business/article_3408.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:15 category:online_business article:

Okay, there are some variables in this internet or network marketing world. If I am meeting people face-to=face, it helps to have brushed my teeth, to have bathed, to have put on some decent looking clothes, etc. If I neglect these things, my sales WILL suffer to some extent. Online, if my website has links that don't work, or if it looks like it was designed by my 10 year-old son, my sales might suffer. I think, however, that most of us understand that side of the equation.

I think that MOST people (not all, I am sure) realize that presenting most products or services to untargeted audiences can also lower successes.

However, I am going to talk about some generalities here, and I am going to assume that I am trying to sell something that has SOME value to SOMEBODY, SOMEWHERE. To tell the truth, I could be talking about trying to sell a rock from my backyard. Got to be careful there. My neighbor's horses get into the pasture from time to time, and I would have to make sure I actually had a rock! Come to think of it, there IS a market for horse manure. See, you CAN sell almost anything.

Anyway, see if you can get this concept.

I have something of value to sell, and I offer it to one person. Then I go home and assess my success. How do you think I did? Did I sell it?

That's right. Probably not.

Okay, so now I go out and offer it to two people and then go home. How did I do this time?

Hard to say, but you can see that I had a slightly better chance.

Let's try this one.

I buy a billboard ad on a major interstate, and 80,000 people a day see my ad. What are my chances now?

Things are looking up, right? I actually have a chance of making a few sales.

Leaving aside the variables, such as how good the sign was, did the people in the cars have a chance to read the sign, etc., what was the key factor in improving my success?

That's right! It was the number of people who had a chance to see my ad.

So now I have this great web site with a fantastic product or business opportunity. What am I looking for?

That's right. I want traffic! Lots of traffic. In fact, leaving out the variables again, the more people I can get to visit my web site, the better my chances of making sales.

Years ago, a major financial services provider conducted an in-depth study of their most successful sales people. Their findings are not surprising. The most successful sales people, the people who earned the highest amount of commissions, simply talked to the most people.

Many people who join internet marketing or network marketing ventures are looking for the great "get rich quick" plan that is going to make them millions. Note the use of the words "make them millions". They are often of the opinion that the program is going to make the money for them. After a few swings at making sales, they give up and quit, thinking that network marketing, and these days, internet marketing, is a bunch of...well, you know...what my neighbor's horses leave in my pasture. They go their ways convinced that they've been had, taken for a ride. In their minds, all marketers...network, internet, or both...are con artists.

Two perfectly honest friends of mine who became millionaires in different network marketing companies used a very simple technique to achieve success. They each handed out brochures over a couple of years to everyone they met until one day the dam broke, so to speak.

When I started marketing on the internet, I had no clue what I was doing, or how to get traffic, but I knew I had a product that a lot of people would be interested in. I figured out that with my lack of skill and knowledge I could only hope to make a few sales from any web site I could come up with. In fact, I only used free hosting services.

My tactic was simple. If I could only get a few sales from any website, I would make a lot of web sites that each made a few sales. A couple of years later, I was making over $20,000 a year on the internet, using these dinky little free sites for the most part. In the meantime, I had learned a few more advanced techniques, and as I began to improve my websites and get my own domains (financed by my free sites), my income grew to over $100,000 a year and continues to grow.

Even with the new domains, the free sites continue to bring in traffic and income, and the simple equation remains. The more people that I can put my sites in front of, the more money I make.

That's why I say, "1, 2, 3, the numbers are the key".

"How to Make Money Online...Driving your Car." author:George Papazoglou source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/online_business/article_313.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:14 category:online_business article:

Here’s an alluring income generating strategy, that’s widely adopted by top MLM Agents, Small Firms, Entrepreneurs and Marketers in virtually any field of industry. It still amazes me how most Internet entrepreneurs overlook this ‘no-cost’, powerful, free-advertising system, which is...

To Making Money Driving your Car with ID Plates!

The potential of free advertising using car plates is widely adopted by small firms to gigantic corporations. You can promote any kind of opportunity, or your own business with ID Plates. It is projected that an ID car plate can generate as many as 5000 new customers per year.

Hint: If you promote an affiliate program, you still can capitalize on ID plates by redirecting prospective visitors to a profitable merchant via your web site. All you have to do next is create an ID Plate by identifying it with your own URL. Better register a unique web site to track the success of your ‘boulevard campaign’;-)

Think about it... your online business will harness cost-free solid advertising, as drivers will consistently ‘observe’ your web site promoted as you drive your car, park and even at traffic jams or stoplights.

You could register a web site that intrigues *curiosity*; a URL that’s short and memorable to fully exploit this awesome promotion technique. After all, gigantic corporations like IBM, Microsoft and thousands of small businesses utilize this marketing concept -- why not you?

In fact, one of my most lucrative marketing programs, promotes its’ conceptual 90% with ID Plates ( you can find it at: http://cash-checks.com?ar ). Don’t take this offline marketing strategy for granted -- you could generate an extra 4-6-figure income annually, even without an advertising budget.

Brand your business with every ‘viral technique’ you can think of -- "leave no stone unturned". In plenty of circumstances, your customers ‘frequent-by’ even in the most unsuspected places... so,‘ID Plate’ your roadway to the bank!

10 Inside Secrets to Google Adwords - Part 3 author:Ron Isaiah source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/online_business/article_3110.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:15 category:online_business article:

Has this ever happened to you? You spend hard-earned money

on Google Adwords pay-per-click advertising and you lose

more money than you make. It seems that Google is getting

richer while you get poorer. There are several tricks to

advertising on Google Adwords that unless you know them, it

becomes almost impossible to turn a profit on your

advertising. Part 3 of this series continues the theme of

revealing the inside secrets of successful, profitable

advertising with Google Adwords.

If you missed Part 1 or Part 2 of this series, simply send a

blank email to googlearticle@superiormarketingpartners.com

to get a all three parts of this series of articles emailed

back to you automatically.

Secret #8 - Track your ads by keyword in Google Adwords

After spending the time setting up separate AdGroups within

Google Adwords for each keyword as mentioned above, the key

is to know which keywords are costing you money and which

ones are profitable. The only way to know that is to track

how many people click on the ad and which of those clicks

convert into sales (or actions you hope the prospect to

take, such as registering for your email newsletter, etc.).

There are several ways to do this, including Google Adwords

own ad tracking system (which I do not recommend for several

reasons that I won't elaborate on in this brief article).

Ad tracking basically comes down to a choice between paying

for a subscription to a service or buying software that

installs on your own web hosting server. From hard-won

experience, let me tell you to avoid the subscription

services altogether. Relying on someone else's service for

your critical stats is a gamble you do not want to take.

There are several good software programs out there that will

do the job, but I recommend the one you can find at:

http://www.superiormarketingpartners.com/adtracking.html

Secret #9 - Put keywords in your ad text in Google Adwords

Did you know that the keywords that are part of the text of

your ads in Google Adwords will appear in BOLD? If someone

searches for "plastic widgets" and your ad text reads "50%

off plastic widgets", then the phrase 'plastic widgets' will

appear in bold when your ad is displayed. This makes a huge

difference in the click-thru rate of your ads!

If you don't believe me, simply follow the tip mentioned

above for split-testing your ads and create two ads, one

with the keywords in the ad text and the other without. You

will be surprised at how much better the Google Adwords ad

with the keyword(s) in the ad text performs.

Secret #10 - Only run ads on the Google 'Search Network' in

Google Adwords

When creating a new campaign in the Google Adwords system,

the default campaign settings are configured to show your

ads on both the 'Content Network' and the 'Search Network'.

Google has a pay-per-click affiliate program called Google

Adsense. This program pays people for each click on Google

Adwords ads that are displayed on their own web sites. The

problem for you, the Google Adwords advertiser, is that you

do NOT want your ads showing up on any old website that has

relevant content to your ad. You only want your ad

displayed to people actively searching for the keyword(s)

that trigger the display of your ad. Why? Because these are

the best prospects for whatever you are trying to sell!

The power of the Google Adwords system is that you can

attract highly-targeted, motivated buyers to your site by

displaying an ad relevant to what a person is searching for

at the moment that person is looking for what you are

selling. By allowing your ads to be displayed on Google's

'Content Network', your ads are showing on all kinds of

websites being casually surfed by people that may not be

interested at all in what you are selling. This means you

are paying for these Google Adsense clicks for less than

qualified prospects.

The first thing you should do when creating a new Google

Adwords campaign is uncheck the 'Content Network' box in the

campaign settings and limit your ads to being displayed only

on Google's 'Search Network' to insure only highly qualified

and motivated prospects click on your Google Adwords ads.

Make no mistake about it...finding qualified, motivated

buyers and getting them to your website when they are ready

to buy is what doing business online is all about. There

is no better marketplace for this steady stream of valuable

traffic than with Google Adwords. By employing the tips and

strategies outlined in this series of articles, you will be

armed to the teeth to convert those hard earned dollars

spent on Google Adwords into profits for your online

10 AD Copy Tips You Can Take To The Bank! author:Randy Hutchings source_url:http://www.articlecity.com/articles/online_business/article_2537.shtml date_saved:2007-07-25 12:30:15 category:online_business article:

Here are my TOP 10 AD Copy Tips......

1. You could add some sub-headlines in your ad copy. Sub-headlines act just like headlines; they grab the reader' s attention. They'll keep the readers interested as they continue to read your ad. They are almost like transitions or copy connectors; the sub-headlines will interest and carry the reader to the next part.

2. You could ask your readers questions throughout the ad copy. They will answer the questions in their own heads as they read your ad copy. The questions you ask should persuade the readers into buying. People have been taught to automatically answer questions in school, from their parents, from friends and from authoritative figures.

3. You could highlight keywords throughout your ad copy. The keywords should be attractive to your target audience. You could highlight them with color, underlines, italics, etc. You could also repeat key- words one after another. For example you could say, "This is a soft, soft, soft rug."

4. You could bullet or indent your benefits in your ad copy. Most people won't read the whole ad copy, so make your product’s benefits stand out and you won't lose the sales from all the skimmers. You can also indent other things like your guarantee, postscripts, testimonials, closing, etc.

5. You could change the size of your text in your ad copy. You want to make your text large enough so it's not hard to read. You also want your headline and major points to be larger so they will stand out. You could also use more space in between important parts of your ad copy to make them stand out.

6. You could raise or lower the price in your ad copy. A higher price could increase the perceived value of your product and a lower price could lessen your product's value. Either way, you need to test which price will pull the most orders. Another idea would be to use an odd number like $19.46 instead of $19.99, $19.95 or $19.97. It makes it look like there is a specific reason you priced it like that.

7. You could add proof of results in your ad copy. You should include testimonials, endorsements and factual statistics to prove your product's claims. You should only publish statements that are believable and have specific results. For example, here is a good line from a testimonial, “I increased my sales by 678%!"

8. You could add special offers in your ad copy. It's usually easier to sell the offer than the product. You could use discounts, free bonuses, volume sales, etc. For example, you could say, "You'll get 5 bonuses when you order by Aug 24, 2002!" Another example, "Buy one, get the second one half price off.”

9. You should eliminate the hard-to-understand jargon on your ad copy. Unless your product calls for technical words, you want your ad to be read without people pulling out a dictionary. If you need to use a word your target audience might not under- stand, define it or use an example to help them understand it.

10. When you ask someone to sign up to receive a freebie, don't ask for really personal information. This is a fast way to lose a potential prospect. For example, if you ask them for information they want to keep personal, they might not want sign up. Another example, if you ask for too much inform- ation, they may not have the time or patience to fill it all out.

With these 10 Tips your AD Copy NOW has the equipment to conquer the little challenges that you will encounter and that most marketers with stumble over. Start implementing these tip to work for you so that your Online AD Copy will make the sell for you........
