Ad Copy - You Soar or You Bomb
I found that when I was writing ad copy that I thought all my ads were great. Then I would test them and find out that I bombed 99% of the time. I spent lots of money buying sales letters and ad copy that were "guaranteed" to get me lots of prospects. Yah, well I lined many a people's pocket books with my hard-earned dollars! Ha - well I got sick of that.
One day, in my usual searching of the internet, I ran across a free course called "Magnetic Sponsering" It was essentially a FREE 10 day boot camp to writing killer ad copy. I though why not - I mean I could not loose anything except my time reading my email and trying what they said. So I did - and I went from Bombing to Soaring in no time.
So now, I tell everyone about this FREE Course - It is written by Mike Dilliard and he really knows his stuff - go here:

You will thank me from the bottom of your toes :-) After your 10 days are up!
Good luck!

Internet Advertising Options
Internet Advertising Options
Your online business will likely require more advertising than a contemporary business downtown, yet some new to the world of online business do not spend the time and money to advertise their business appropriately and are, in turn, loosing money. Your online business is crammed into the world wide web along with thousands of others selling the same product or service as yourself.
Consider this scenario: In your hometown you want to open an art supply store. In that same town there are thousands of art supply stores. In order for your business to be successful, it will have to stand out in some way from the others. This is exactly what is happening when a business is opened online.
There is so much competition, that you must take drastic measures to ensure that you are getting noticed. Advertising can be done in so many ways online. These are some of the most successful ways that you can promote your online business.Advertising in e-zines is a popular way to promote your online business.
Ezines are the magazines of the internet; they written on a particular subject and read by those interested in that subject. Therefore, ezine readers are already potential customers and advertising your site in ezines that are related to your business is almost guaranteed to help drive traffic to your site and increase sales for your product. You should be sure when advertising in ezines that you are not advertising along side competitors. Ask the ezine producer if there is a policy concerning posting competing ads. It is also a good idea to subscribe to the ezine before making a decision about whether or not to advertise in it. An ezine that runs fewer ads is a better choice than one that runs many ads.
Youcan look at the online Directory of Ezines to find publications that are relevant to your company.Pay-per-click programs are an excellent way to advertise your business without taking a risk that you have advertised in the wrong place. With pay-per-click, you can advertise you site and only pay for those who click the link and go to your site. Another popular pay-per program is the pay-per-lead program that allows you to only pay for leads. Usually this means that you pay for only those who download a trail, fill out a form or enter a sweepstakes; whatever you choose.
Lastly you can display pay-per-click banner ads in which your company would be allowed to place a banner on their site and you will be charged for every click that your banner receives.
Opt-In email is a great way to advertise your business, however it is expensive and it can be misused very easily. Using opt-in emails, you would submit your sales copy to the company that will in turn email it to those on their mailing list.
You should be very careful since some of the companies that advertise their mailing lists as opt-in email service is sometimes really SPAM. It is essential that you have a perfect and effective sales letter when using opt-in mailing lists. Without and effective sales copy your money and time have been wasted.

Golden Rules For the Use of Autoresponders
Autoresponders are a perfect way to increase traffic to your site. They can save many valuable hours by automatically answering emails concerning frequently asked questions about a service or product or by sending a welcome letter to new members of your program.
There are many ways that autoresponders can help your business. One of the most important is their ability to track the effectiveness of your promotions. Since autoresponders are one of the most popular marketing tools available today, they are being used by a lot of different kinds of business and websites. Some of these take advantage of the system to use the autoresponders in a negative manner.
You should be aware of some of the "Golden Rules" when using autoresponders.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder Address When Submitting to Search Engines.Since you will most likely submit your site to search engines such as Google or Yahoo!, directories, classifieds, and free for all sites, you should be made aware of the fact that these sites commonly use an autoresponder as well. If you were to use your autoresponder to contact these companies, their autoresponder will reply to yours and soon and so on. Thus creating a cycle of autoresponses that will flood your email box and theirs as well.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Subscribe to Ezines or Discussion Forums.Since most of the time an Ezine will send you updates and new information regularly, your auto responder will send them a message each time. In a discussion forum, every person in the discussion forum will receive your auto response. This can be irritating and most of the time you will be unsubscribed. It is often hard for the administrators of the forum or ezine to determine who is using the autoresponse and therefore it is simply common courtesy to never use an autoresponder in this manner.
Thou Shalt Not Use an Autoresponder to Take Advantage Of Unsuspecting Individuals.Some very unprofessional companies will use autoresponders to respond to an automated message when this is done the address in the "from" field will be automatically subscribed to their mailing list. This is a extremely un ethical use of autoresponders and those who do it are in jeopardy of creating a very negative image of themselves and their company. Rather than promote their service or business, this usually leads to people becoming very upset and spreading a negative word about your company rather than a good one.The Internet can be a great place to do business and autoresponders can be an excellent way to save time, however when used in an unprofessional way, they can lead to frustration and aggravation for others. Your company will suffer the loss of much business if you choose to participate in these abusive practices. The appropriate use of auto responders can generate a large amount of business, while inappropriate use can drive away that business.

Rather than promote their service or business, this usually leads to people becoming very upset and spreading a negative word about your company rather than a good one.The Internet can be a great place to do business and autoresponders can be an excellent way to save time, however when used in an unprofessional way, they can lead to frustration and aggravation for others. Your company will suffer the loss of much business if you choose to participate in these abusive practices. The appropriate use of auto responders can generate a large amount of business, while inappropriate use can drive away that business.

Killer Secrets to Ad Copy
Sometimes in the land of internet frenzy - I wonder how people that slap ads out there expect to actually draw people in and be interested in what they have to offer. I laugh when I say that because that was me not too long ago...well sometimes it is still me when I am tired or cranky because I don't pay attention to what I am writing!
I spent hours and money trying to find the right ad or copying other people's ad copy to generate leads. The thing is - it never quite worked. I finally figured something out last year! (2006) What I figured out what - whatever you write has to be TRUTHFUL, NOT EXAGGERATED, & HOW IT CAN BENEFIT YOUR POTENETIAL PROSPECT!
Here is an example -
When you are writing ad copy you should find a fear that or something that is a hot button for people right now. And then offer a benefit.
Here is a classic ad that I use:
$400 in FREE GAS EVERY MONTH
Need $400 in free gas in your budget every month?
http://gas.greenstacks.com/
The ad is truthful, it offers a need and a solution.
Then the next step is to send them to a splash page that peaks their interest! If you look at mine, I just tell a story about me and my 3 kids....nothing exaggerated. People really like stuff that is real and that they can relate too! You can check it out at http://gas.greenstacks.com or http://fascinatingyou.com
The other thing you need is a step by step course that will teach you how to write killer ad copy.
Please don't spend hundreds of dollars on a course that will not give you everything you need. I did on several courses. I finally found a FREE course that taught me everthing that I needed. It is a 10 day course that comes to your email. It if fabulous and you will really enjoy it!

The secret to getting leads using EBAY!
Ebay:
This is one of my favorite tools. Here is what you do:
1. Decide what you want to sell on Ebay – some sort of information tool.
2. For example, it could be an information product on how to take really good care of your skin – “5 Secrets on how to Look 10 Years Younger”.
3. Then create a web page with your story on it – why someone should purchase your information report on “5 Secrets on how to Look 10 Years Younger.”
4. Here is the secret to getting your leads from your e-bay auction.
Inside your page put a link where people can input their name and email to get your e-course that you had previously created for List Builder Pro. (they get this course for free. So even if, people do not buy your report, you are getting free leads.
5. Here are some things you need to know.
· You should charge only 99cents for your report – or at least start your bid at that.
· You should have at least 20 different auctions for the same report.
· Each of the auctions will have their own heading.
· Every auction will cost you 20 cents. I typically spend about $5.00 a week on my eBay auctions.
· When you are creating your auction, you can insert the html code that you used to generate your web page offering your report.

Even Internet Babies Can Do This: Listbuilding
List Building:
You have probably all heard that your money is in your list, right? Well that is true. There were several challenges that I faced:
· How could I build a list, quickly?
· How could I get good quality people to subscribe to my list?
· What should my list be about?
Here is what I found to help build your list quickly:
http://www.listbuilderpro.com/
This is a subscription services that costs you about 20cents per lead. These are double opt-in leads. You need these because you never want to be accused of spamming when you send out your messages to your subscribers. I have tried several other lead generation subscription services and this is the best one yet! I purchase 500 double opt in leads per month for $97.00.
You have the option to add things to your list like only getting subscribers from Canada and the US. You can also block people from using free email accounts to sign up for your lists. Things like that. I purchase a few extra things like this because it keeps the quality of my subscribers up.
Once people sign up to my list, I have 23 emails that are sent out to them over a period of 60 days. What I have found is that people generally do not purchase or get involved with your opportunity until they have heard from you on an average of about 7 times.
I always include my website, http://gas.greenstacks.com and my phone number in my emails that go out to my subscribers. What I have found is that people actually call me when they are getting close to becoming involved with my in my business! It is a great tool.
So, listbuilderpro.com takes care of the quality and the amount of subscribers…but you are probably wondering what you can write about. Well, my best suggestion is to write about something that is related to the business that you are promoting. For example, if you are promoting skin-care, you could do a whole series on different problems with skin and how to fix each problem.
Then you can go to listbuilderpro.com and decide how many subscribers you want and put your messages into their smartautoresponder and start getting subscribers.
This method may take you a month to start seeing results but it works really well if you are patient.

Using Goclick as a Springboard to Generating Leads
Goclick.com:
I used to spend hundreds of dollars at Google. I was trying to learn the art of pay per clicks. It was a time when I took all the money that I earned and basically siphoned it right back to Google.
Then, I found goclick.com. Goclick.com is a 3rd tier pay-per-click search engine. Here you can get hundreds of people coming to your website every day. What I did is I started out by purchasing $25 in traffic. Then, I uploaded 500 plus key words that I researched relating to business opportunities. I then created a small ad – that said something like this:
Entreprenuers Wanted:
Top 2006 business. Earn top 3% income.
Then, I put my keywords all at 1cent a piece and started getting traffic, lots of traffic. My budget is $1.00 a day. Now, I buy $100.00 increments of traffic because I get 5% free traffic. This lasts me 90 days. I get 100 clicks approximately per day from goclick. I have estimated that about 40% of those clicks are actually going to http://gas.greenstacks.com/
I also use this resource to find other 3rd tier pay per click search engines that will give you free $ amounts. They range anywhere from $5 - $50 for using their service.
http://www.ppcuniverse.com/
When, I find an ad that works really well on goclick.com, I then put it on Google and set my campaign up and begin getting clicks from there.
Hence, I use goclick.com to generate traffic as well as a testing ground before I began an ad campaign on Google.

Email Campaigns
Email Campaigns:
In the golden age of spam, most everyone is afraid to do email campaigns. You can still do really well with email campaigns as long as you obey the “rule of the information freeway” To be spam complaint, you must always include your name and address and a way for someone to be removed from your list when you send an unsolicited email. You may think well that is great – but someone could still complain to my ISP and where would I get the leads to do this!
Well, I found a fabulous tool that I use with great success. It is this:
See page here
When you go here you can send emails starting at 2500 per day for as low as $18.00 per month. It is fabulous because they provide the server that your emails go through, they ALSO provide an opt out solution in each email. (So you don’t have to worry about your ISP) They also have pre-written campaigns that you can use – or you can create your own campaign. I use this everyday. I send out 2500 emails everyday and I generate an average of 3.85% open rate of my emails. It is considered good to get .10% so this works extremely well for me!
Now, in order to use this tool, your leads must have IP addresses. You can get 2500 leads a day from this company http://www.worldbusinesssolutions.ws
For less than $30.00 per month.
What I do, is take those leads and import them into my tool (that I told you about above) and send out my email campaign.
So for less than $50 per month, you can reach 75,000 business opportunity seekers a month. That is not bad. The beauty of it is, that the tool listed above actually keeps track of all your stats – from how many people open your email to how many click on your link. It also takes all the people that unsubscribe out of your list.

Forums are a Gold Mine
Forums are a gold mine.
This form of marketing will take a lot of time however it is free or very low cost and has been tested. I have used this method every day. I will go over how to market your business this way, but you must possess the following characteristics;
1. You must be willing to learn special techniques.
2. You must some time to do this and be consistent with your efforts.
3. You must be good at solving problems and building relationships.
4. And most importantly, you must be persistent and patient.
Why a Forum?
Forums are one of the most effective free internet marketing strategies if done correctly.
• They are usually FREE.
• You can sell product/service to new friends
• You can easily find a community discussing what you are interested in.
• You can get lots of valuable information.
• You can market yourself as an expert.
Many people participate in online forums for different reasons. Especially in internet marketing forums, they use it for getting advice and answers to their questions.
Another reason is finding new tools, products and marketing concepts that they can apply to their website or online business in general. Internet forums are also an excellent resource for contacting with other online entrepreneurs and build win-win and profitable joint ventures. Finally, you can promote your website in forums in indirect mode of course.
Message Boards/Forums are a "newbie" paradise, where people post a public note in an effort to elicit a private response or information about relevant websites. They are long term powerhouses for generating visits to your sites through the time honored route of friendship. Lots of times topics on the message boards get added to search engines, and your post can become highly visited!
Most forums allow a person to add a signature file to their posts. My signature file looks something like this:
“Instantly be in a money position with a secure company and phenomenal product line. [url=http://www.gas.greenstacks.com/]Click below![/url]
“The mom whose has 3 boys & a burned down garage. Read my story here: [url=http://www.gas.greenstacks.com/]Click below![/url]”
You can use something similar just put your website where mine is!
Use this forum tool – to help you go from forum to forum. It is an easy & free download

Here are some of the forums that I post in: (Keep in mind that there are several thousand forums on the internet…they come and go – when you are looking for forums to post in be sure to look and see when the last time they were posted in and how much traffic they have on a daily/weekly basis.)

5 Secrets to Using Craigslist to Generate Leads
I have used Craigslist quite successfully now for several months. There are a few things that you need to know in order for you to use Craigslist successfully.
You need to know what cities are the hottest to post in. I use this link every week to determine what cities that I want to post my ads in.
http://www.google.com/trends?q=Craigslist.org
I created 12 email accounts. This way you have a different email account that you use everyday to post from. You are essentially set up for 2 weeks. (I do not post on Sundays- so I only needed 12 email accounts.) I used gmail as my email accounts.
You need to set up your ads. For example, I post in small biz and the financial services for my business: http://gas.greenstacks.com.
I have 5 main ads for small business and 5 main ads for financial services. I then took those 5 ads and made them into 70 different ads. So now I have 70 different ads for small business and 70 different ads for financial services.
Every day, I post 5 ads to each category and use one of my email accounts. The next day, I take 5 new ads and post to each category and use another email account. I repeat this process every day for 12 days. Then I start over. It works really well.
I often post my image in my postings. If you have an image in your posting, it will show up with the words img after your posting and people tend to click on this before any other ad. If you are using a link to post an image – like mine. http://fascinatingyou.com/images/happyangela.jpg - then you need to change your link every 3 to 4 days – that way Craiglist does not recognize it. You can use the same image, just change your directory.
As far as headings go, if you use the words ebay and money in your headings, you will increase your open rate up to 67%. If you are not selling anything related to ebay…try a heading like this….Don’t sell on ebay to make money, try this…
Another trick that I use is to put promote my website for example: http://greenstacks.com and I have an optin to collect a name and email for a fabulous course that I promote.
You should always use a shorter ad rather than a long on when advertising and try to keep in mind what benefit are you offering the potential customer. The customer wants you to offer a solution that will fix their problem; they don’t care what you sell. When you are writing your ad copy, always keep this in mind.
Another trick, if you want to be found in Google or Yahoo….within 4 or less days. Use this technique…
Use your keyword in your subject line. For example, if you are selling a report on golfing. Put golfing in your subject line…because Craiglist ads are indexed in Google or Yahoo within 4 days or less. So if someone types golfing report in Google in the search engine phrase – it will come up.
