More Bang for your Buck

I will make an assumption that if you are reading this blog, you are at least somewhat interested in making money online. So let's talk advertising. I mean, you DO know you have to advertise right? There is NO ONE going to find your program and YOU if you don't. So, where to start? Some people just throw their program opportunities in some traffic exchanges and surfs and think they have done their part. Huh? While that is certainly something I do, I have learned not to expect too much. Your splash page had really better be cool to attract someone's attention in an exchange/surf.

Uhoh. So where does that leave us? Well, there are safe lists. Some people are timid about using those because they have to write ads. But it's really sort of fun to experiment with what works and what does not. I use a variety of safelists. My favorite, ListJoe is on the sidebar. I need to pick a few more good ones to list. Again, even with safelists, you need to have a great title to get someone's attention. Practise, play. It's fun. Really.

Another great way to get your favorite program out there is forum posting. Unless you are quick, you are likely not going to be the one to first post it. But, you can add comments to the post, engage in conversation and develop a reputation. Put your favorite businesses in your signature and you will be suprised at the referrals that pop up. Oh, and don't forget putting your banner in forums. It can be very expensive to do that in larger forums, but I do get results from this sort of advertising.

More advertising venues to come later. If you have some thoughts on it, drop me a line.

It's Music Theater night. Kiss Me Kate. I hear it is good and I'm looking forward to it.


Later...
