Where to advertise part 1

Where do you advertise?

Part 1

Usually, most will tell you to start with your family and friends.

Me, I’m going to tell you to keep them for later. When you’ll have some results to show them, then you’ll find it easier to explain your internet business to them. And the good thing about waiting, is that you won’t feel their pressure. Most people don’t understand what it takes to build a business. In fact, if you never have been building a business, you can’t understand what it means.

It’s better for you to start advertising on the web. When you’ll have some result on the web, you won’t feel as bad if your family and friends don’t join with you.

You can find lots of links to great program according to each type of advertising on my yahoo group. 
 

Paid to click (PTC):

The concept of PTC is that you get paid a fixed amount to look at advertising for a fixed time. Those are great to promote. Most of them offer advertising for small price when you start and you can upgrade later to promote even more.

Web site:

Building your own web site to promote your business is a good idea. But it's a lot of work. You can use that web site to promote banner exchange and get banner credit to show your business banner.

Using your website to promote yourself is also a very good idea. You’ll gain a reputation that will help you to build your business.

In fact, getting your web site isn’t needed at first. If you don’t have a basic knowledge in HTML, then you’ll have to pay someone to build your web site. It’s expensive and it won’t bring you any income at first.

Ads board:

In those programs, you place an ad to promote your business. You’ll have to place hundreds of ads to get some good result. You can also use physical board around your town to promote your business. It’s cheap and could become a good way to link with other motivated people who would like to build their business with you.

You’ll have to come back and place a new ad on the same board each month.

Invest in your business!

How much do you invest in you?

Before starting a business, you need to invest in you. There's many ways to do this. Seminars, books, movies, audio, positive post-it all around you and I'm sure you can find many more ways to invest in yourself.

After 27 days, if you do the same things everyday, it becomes an habits. Invest in yourself once a day for 27 days and it will become an habits.

Here's some good books you could start with.

How to find friends and influence people
by Dale Carnegie

Think and grow rich
by Napoleon Hill

The law of success
by Napoleon Hill

The compound effect
by Darren Hardy

Start to change you and you'll change the world around you.

Are you a Victim?

Are you addicted to being a victim?

When things go wrong, how do you react?

I Just read a good post by Henrik Edberg - How to move away from the victim mentality.

And I wonder how much of my friends and family fits into this mold. Me, I started to think that I was in charge a long time ago. A good friend, the great philosopher Andre Moreau (Website in French) gave me the tools to grow myself and learn to be in charge of my life.

I think that it's OK to make mistake. And that we have to learn from them. I think that it's always our choices that are the source of all we live. Sometimes, we're not making them consciously and think that we didn't had any responsibility in the result. When you become a victim, you attract the evenment to respond to your guts feeling.

Please, stop thinking that others are in charge of your life. Start to take responsibility for what you have and what you get everyday.

Give to get!

"Whatever you want to bring into your life, you must GIVE it. Do you want love? Then give it. Do you want appreciation? Then give it. Do you want understanding? Then give it. Do you want joy and happiness? Then give it to others.

You have the ability to give so much love, appreciation, understanding, and happiness to so many people every single day!" Bye Rhonda Byrne

You have to give to get. You have to take action if you want something to happen in your life. If you want success, then you have to give success to someone else. You must always do this with a true heart. If you lie, then you'll get nothing more then the lie you give.

Many are bitching the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. Me I still think that it's a very simple book about the law of attraction. I think that you need more then that when you start to face the problem that you'll face when you start to follow the law.

The quote that I put in the start of this post, I got it from the secret scrolls. You can join and get those nice quotes for free if you follow that link. :)

Banner Ladder Blog!

I come across those blog a few times a week. There's one post and it's a series of banners from many programs. No content, just a blank promo. Others will try to write something about the program they want to sell, but it's still a blank blog.

I don't understand this trend. Why do you open a blog and write only one post? Why do you use a blog to promote a list of programs?

There's a ton of downline builder that could be better and offer you to promote those same program.

Do you really think that it's a good way to promote those programs?

If you want to promote a programs in traffic exchange, use a splash. The best tools for that is AdKreator.

Be true

Yesterday I talked about you brand. In specific, I talked about your pic.

The picture you are using on twitter, on Facebook, on any web site that have this option to brand yourself and on your promo pages.

But, this is not the only thing that you need to brand yourself. You need to do what you preach. In another word, having a good picture is helping, but you also need to be true. Even with a wonderful picture, you'll still have to be nice and true within all your action.

Peoples aren't gonna trust you if you broke your promises the moment it doesn't fit you anymore. Peoples will quit doing business with you the moment they think you're using them.

Your reputation is pure gold. Don't waste it on a cheap moment of rage.

Be true, you can't fool anyone. Even if people don't have a direct contact with you on the internet, they'll spot your scam a mile away.

Show yourself!

Show yourself...

In this branding world, you need to be there in person to promote your product. Or at least, with a picture of you. Not some cartoon pics, a cat, a dog, a house, a scenery, a logo or a toy you found in your son's bedroom.

Please, be professional and smile on your picture. Don't wear sunglasses, your not posing for a tabloid. Your smile and your eyes tell a lot about you. So, if you are in a spirit of empathy when you take your picture, then it will show. People will be ready to have business with you if they trust you. And even if you're already making money on the internet (with your cartoon), you would be making much much more showing yourself.

"Trust" can be gain with a good picture. That's why, as a business person, you should take the time to make a good one.

If you hide behind some image that is not you, don't expect me or anyone to be trusting.

If you don't like what I just wrote, then maybe you should seek deep inside of you for the source of that. And yes, the pic I'm using for this blog is not what I should use. I know. That's a pic I took for my Gothic Band :)

Grab me, if you can!

Grab me, if you can!

I'm an old surfer. I've seen a lot of stuff and you need to be really creative to grab my attention when I'm surfing a Traffic Exchange.

Audio and video don't work with me. I surf with the sound off. I've always been surfing with the sound off. I like to listen to positive audio book or video when I'm surfing. So, if you want to get my attention, you need to do it with text or images. And most people don't have it.

If you promote the plain splash page generated by the owner of a program, then you are giving away any chances of getting my attention.

Create your own splash is mostly the only way to get me. Making me smile is the best way to grab me. Be creative and you'll deserve some of my time. Don't put more then 10 words on your splash, I won't read them. The larger the word the better. You must realize that I will be on your splash for less then 5 seconds. So you have to be quick, or I'll be gone.

And if you can't grab my attention, you ain't gonna get much people anyway. The internet is fast and you need to be fast if you want to sell your stuff on it. Be creative and grab the surfer if you want to make money!

Get out of the mold

How do you get into the top 1% of the wealthiest people on the planet?

Well, you need to get out of the common. You need to become the one who's doing what needs to be done.

Average people listen to 12 hours of TV and surf the net 13 hours every week. Most are just listening to what is popular at the moment. Reading what others put on Facebook and visiting entertaining website. If you would cut 8 hours from those 25 hours to listen to positive and educative video. Or read a good positive book. That would take you out of the mass.

The more you invest in yourself, the more you'll be ready to take the steps to become one of the 1%.

There's no short cut to become one of the 1%. You'll need to work and invest in yourself.

You have the same chances as all the people on the planet. We all have 24 hours in a day, and it's up to us to choose what we want to do with it. No ones can choose for you. No ones can make it for you.

So it's all up to you. Choose to makes excuses or makes positive choices that will help you grow. You choose to take action into building wealth or you choose to become one of the many TV master. There's a lot of people that are master of sitting in front of their TV.

Get out of the mold and take the road that only a few are taking.

Show up!

Do you show up?

Do you know that one of the key to success is to show up. To take an actual step to do what needs to be done.

From the start, a lot of people don't show up. And they give up the most easy part of becoming successful.

For things to become better, you have to show up and take action. If you think that you only need to wish, then you're going to be a failure. It's simple. Action of showing up is the first step in managing reality.

If you don't show up, you'll end up living in the world of the ones who did take action.

Leaders becomes, they're not born. Leaders took action.

You'll fall, like all the leaders. Getting back up and continue showing up will get you where others don't.

If you give up showing up, then you give up on all you have done and all you could have done.

Don't be in the mass! Stand up and show up! Take action and become a leaders!

Choke laughing

I just read something that choke me laughing. "So many people can't be wrong."

Are you among the ones that believe this? If you do, then you're on the road to be one of the many that are no ones. Is this what you want? Being an average person doing average in life. Do you really want to make average money with average wealth and health?

You need to make a change if you follow the pack.

First, does that pack is among the top earner in the world? If not, then you should find another line to follow. Before being the leader of a line, you need to follow the line. That's why you need to choose the best line to follow.

Second, it's time to realize all the junk we feed our mind. Cut all the negative junk that you take in all day long. If you listen to TV, then you should listen to stuff that are helping you to grow. Listen to stuff that will up lift your spirit and give you energy.

Third, "Do the Do". You need to take action. The difference between someone who's among the 1% of the wealthiest and all of the 99%, is they are taking action when all others are looking at what they're doing.

This blog is just that, a blog. It will not make you rich. But it could help you stepping up and "Do the Do" to join the 1%.

Ink it!

Don't think it! Ink it!

Ideas tend to come and go. That's why we all need to write them down. Even if they're not complete, you can do that later. It's better to write something that you'll change later then to forget it without putting it on paper.

Books, note pad, voice recorder, cell phone, computer, type writer, tablets or toilet paper; what ever you can use to write it down.

Ideas are the mortar that will help you build your wealth. Don't take them lightly.

Come back and revise them. Do this at least once a week. Would be better if you do it once a day. Keep them safe and make copies so they'll be secure. You never know what could come out of them.

Mistakes

Know when it's time to move on and learn from mistakes.

This is hard. When you create something, you want it to be the best. You want everyone to see how great it is and love it as much as you do. When you don't get the response that you want, you need to choose if you keep going on with it or close it. You should take a look at the result. If you don't see anything good coming out of it, then you should close it and do something else. Take the loss and move on. Start something better.

You should give it some times before you close it. If you planned it on a year, then after 3 months you should see if it needs some changes. You should not wait until the end of the year if you don't get any result. If you did put lots of work in promoting it and it didn't make you any money, then you should think about closing that project.

Don't give up! Greatness is not a mater of luck. It's a mater of hard work.

Learn from your mistakes.

Do you Commit?

Commitment

Let's be serious for a moment. Are you serious? Really, when you say something, are you doing it?

I'm a role player. I like the old style with books and dices. In one of those games I play a magic user. And the first rules of that organization is you have to keep your promises. No way out, you have to put your life on jeopardy to get it done. Are you ready to put your life on the mat for what you say?

I read a post from Tom Wacker "Say what you mean", and I like that post. Go read it.

Be someone to trust and you'll find people that you can trust. Be someone of your word and you'll meet people that are keeping their word. Be what you want to find in others.

This my 10th day of post for this month.
