Cheap Internet Advertising
First off we should say that almost all internet advertising is
cheap when you consider that other forms of advertising can cost 10's or 100's more. For instance full page ads in
a newspaper, full page ads in the yellow pages, or television or radio advertising. Compared to these methods
almost all internet advertising is cheap.
The first places to advertise that are really cheap or maybe even
free are the online classifieds. These are just like newspaper classifieds, but the difference is that since there
is not nearly the cost online as there is printing a paper these are very cheap or free. Many are free with an
option for a premium listing for a small fee. If you are advertising for a business then these may or may not work
for you. My wife does well with getting brides looking for someone to make flowers for them, where as my plumbing
company and my internet company have not gotten the results I have wanted. Therefore this is a method I do not
recommend or use. But as with anything you should try it for yourself.
The paid versions of online classifieds are a little better than
the non paid, as these give you links back to your site which gets some people checking out your website for more
information. And once someone comes to your site you should have an auto responder set up to take their name and
email and start sending them some really good information for free.
Other methods of cheap internet advertising are paying for long
tailed low cost keywords in a pay per click campaign. You might only get 10-25 people per month company to your
site, but if you do this with dozens of long tailed keywords this could be 500 to 1000 people per month, for a low
cost of only 10-20 cents per click or so. 1000 people for only $10-$20 is pretty good, as long as you can convert
at least a couple of percent you should be doing great.
Other methods of cheap advertising is getting listed in a business
directory. Most will charge you about $1000 per year for 4-5 pages of information, so I decided to set one up that
allows you to post as many product/service, and articles pages as you like, all for free as a bonus for those that
invest in my new ebook 'secrets to starting or expanding your service contracting business'
