INTERNET MARKETING

When you as a newbie join a MLM or any kind of business with the sole idea to generate an income on the Internet, the first question you will probably have is: "How do I promote this?"


Advertising can be done in various ways which may include e-mail, advertising on advertising specific websites, newspapers and radio to mention but a few. The real problem to me was how to find the right prospects for my goods and how to get the information to them.


You need to have a list or use a list of an established company to start off with. The guru`s will tell you that a qualified opt-in list is worth about $70 per year per name in sales. That alone will push you to have a fully opt-in list of at least 5000 names as quickly as possible. Five thousand names multiplied by $70 with an average of 20% buying will translate theoretically into sales of $70 000 per year. My feeling and experience showed me that most of us will be happy with that figure!


So what do you do if you only have your family and friends as names in your list! Get hold of someone else`s list and start e-mailing them is one option. Be very careful here, because if you start spamming it will have serious repercussions for you and your business.


I have tried many, some good, some bad and some just plain and simple too expensive for the newbie. To start off with, depending on how deep your pocket is you should use Leads Leap http://www.leadsleap.com?referid=fran135 or The List machine http://www.thelistmachine.com/index.php/fran351 these two programs on their own will deliver your marketing to real prospects with a very good conversion rate.


My most effective promotions at zero cost with the option to upgrade as you start making money was done on List Joe and Million Leads for Free, you can find these fantastic list builders at http://listjoe.com/j/fran351 and http://www.millionleadsforfree.com/go.php?r=fran351 .Between these two list building programs you will be able to e-mail fully opt-in lists of more than 100 000 names per month while building your own list and your own wealth building at the same time. Upgrade on both these free programs once your business becomes profitable to enjoy even more features with enhanced results.


For advertising on a free usage basis on the Internet specifically for your wealth building website use Inetgiant with a host of other features available at a later stage when the money start rolling in. http://www.inetgiant.com. One last thing I would like to mention is: I joined List Dot Com.com but really found it difficult to work with and not worth my effort at all, and do not think that you can unsubscribe, that function does not work and they really flood your inbox every day. I have tried to unsubscribe using e-mails and accessing their site to no avail.


Your comments and input will be appreciated at all times.


Until next time!
