The best way to promote your product, service or opportunity
online is via direct, targeted permission emails.
Most marketers don’t know how to get individuals to opt into
their list.
Building a permission email list is a great effort- too great
for the time restrictions we have to live under day after day.
Believe me, I ran an ezine. To get people to subscribe I allowed
the new subscriber to run a 5-line ad.
Unfortunately, the subscribers are mostly new on-line marketers
and are hyped on the hype.
The ads they submitted were for scam programs or programs that
would not work for the average person online.
The “subscribers-for-ads” process was arduous and not very
lucrative . My subscribers would complain if their ad did not
run on a certain day. There was a limited amount of space to run
20-30 ads.
This method of building a list was too cumbersome. This is HARD
work - that provides no payback. You will be lucky if you get 1
in 10 to purchase your product because these individuals are
sellers not buyers.
**Click Exchanges will exercise your fingers and your pocketbook
and the payback is very slow. You can click exchange until your
fingers are numb and still the number of people who subscribe to
your list is a dismal few.
**Those lead capture pages only work if someone finds your lead
capture page.
**When we try to purchase leads, the word SPAM keeps popping out
at us.
So I took on the challenge
How do I get people to leave me their name and email address so
I can email them about my product service or opportunity?
It is frustrating to do all the right things and still walk away
with zero, nada, nothing.
The answer to my dilemma was staring me (and probably you) in
the face for years.
How many times have you submitted your product service to a Free
Classified Site?
Getting results from advertising on a Classified Ad Site was
feasible years ago. Today, your ad gets lost in a multitude of
ads from thousands of other submitters.
Thousands of submitters?humm...? Who gets access to their
information. I turned the situation around. In order to post
their ads the submitters must provide information.
"So... Never a poster to a site you be. Own the Site and get the
names and emails for FREE."
I did a quick survey of people who owned Classified Ad Sites on
the net. All of these owners agree these sites are powerful
automated money-makers.
A Free Classified Ad Site can guarantee exposure for your
business.
You can Own a Classified ad site for FREE. There are paid
versions, but to get up and running and learning how to use this
system,
The System is FREE.
For the privilege of posting their ad to your site, the poster
MUST provide you their name, address, email address and in some
cases a telephone number.
A Classified Ad Site will provide you with leads, sales and
generate traffic to your main site.
Today is the day, you can auto-generate leads every day for free
– just like the “big guys” do.
There is a downside to the Free Classified System and that is
that you may get a lot of bogus email addresses, but you can
request that the submitter verify their address prior to putting
an ad on your site.
Side Note: I had the Free Classified Ad System loaded on my
hosting account about 3 months ago. I was struggling to get
leads and make money.
When I checked the submission emails to my Free Classified Ad
Site after 1 month I was very disappointed there were only two
names. I sent an angry email to the Webmaster saying that my
site wasn’t getting any exposure.
The Webmaster kindly wrote me back and told me I had hundreds of
entries to the classified ad site.
He asked me what categories I checked. I had only checked the
first category –Advertising but there are over 20 different
categories.
You can even create your own specialized categories (i.e.) real
estate, business opportunities et al. These categories had had
hundreds of names and email addresses. Did I mention that you
can get this product for FREE!
Your FREE Classified website is submitted to a global database
of other classifed sites and included in classified submission
software and other resource sites worldwide.
This global submission is also free and will fill your
classifieds site with ads and emails that will increase the size
of your email list, create traffic - both immediate and when the
ads expire.
You can promote your products/services in your confirmation and
expiration emails...
I found a Marketers’ heaven.
