Not All Free Advertising Is Created Equal
By Kori Puckett
Chances are, no matter how long you've been online, that
you've used some pretty popular advertising techniques that
produced no results for you. Some of you might even still
be in that boat right now.
I'm talking about safe lists, ad blasters, free for alls,
traffic exchange programs and such. You'll learn sooner or
later, if you don't know already, that those making full-
time incomes have never had much luck with those and they
won't waste their time with them.
And you shouldn't either. Even some of us that do know
this can still get suckered in because the people who
peddle these ineffective, time wasting advertising
techniques make it sound so simple and easy. Which is
exactly what people want--simple and easy. They want a
magic button that they can push and call it a day and
expect to retire by the next afternoon.
There are some free advertising techniques that work. But
you'll mostly hear about those from people who've been
there and done that, with safe lists and such, and free
advertising that actually works. Those techniques won't
have headlines that scream "Send your ad to over a million
in 30 seconds!" or "Type it once, click send, and sit back
while the cash rolls in!" at you.
No, effective free advertising will take you some time,
persistence, and dedication. Writing articles or looking
for reciprocal link partners or posting in forums, etc.
Those are the kinds of techniques that have produced
results for people. It's not a set it and forget it
process, so choose how you advertise wisely.
