AdvertisingLook At That Ad!Advertising is something that just cannot be avoided. If you are a business owner, it is the lifeline of your business. If you are a consumer you see advertising everywhere you go – billboards along the roads, billboards on buses and cabs and subways, ads in magazines, ads on the radio, ads on your television, ads, ads, ads, everywhere you go. And, you are not even safe from ads on the Internet – ads are everywhere you look – your email account contains ads, when you use a search engine you see ads along with the information you are searching for, most websites feature ads of some kind or another. Advertising is just an unavoidable part of life! Advertising also has its advantages. How many things have you downloaded from the Internet free of charge? Maybe a few games, a few ebooks, software to help you learn to become a business owner, and so many other things are available for free on the Internet. But, are these things free for the sites that offer them? Who pays for the website, the Internet connection for the company, the software, the designers and webmasters who maintain and upgrade the websites? Advertisers! Advertisers purchase advertising space on websites and this gives the website owners the revenue for the overhead and maintenance of the website, which allows them to offer you free things to make your life easier – so, advertising isn’t all bad, is it? The Other Side Of Advertising There are many ways that advertising on the Internet is useful. If you are a small brick and mortar business owner who wants to boost your sales, advertising on the Internet can help you. The type of advertising available to you depends on your company’s advertising budget. If your company’s budget allows, you can hire an advertising agency – there are many that specialize in Internet advertising. There are also agencies that manage all of your advertising – web advertising, television and radio spots, and newspaper and magazine adds – combining your advertising efforts so that you get the desired results – more sales! One of the up and coming advertising agencies is Crayon Direct Advertising. Crayon Direct Advertising is a UK based advertising agency that have really put some UK companies on the map – and if the advertising they do for you is anything like their website, you are in for a treat! We can’t have a discussion about advertising without touching on the subject of Internet Marketing. I, myself, have been involved in Internet Marketing for two years now – and advertising is one the things that I have to focus on every day. Before we discuss the world of Internet Marketing, let me just give you a warning. If you intend to investigate Internet Marketing, please be aware that you will see advertisements for all kinds of websites and even some that make wild outlandish claims about becoming a millionaire in a matter of months. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true! But, if you find a company that offers a real business plan and a real product, advertising is going to be your key to success – and it does not have to be expensive. In two years, I have probably spent a total of $20.00 on advertising and I am doing very well with my business. Free advertising sites can be found with just a few clicks of your mouse. Free web site advertising comes in the form of Traffic Exchanges, Safelists, and Ad Forums, to name just a few. Traffic Exchanges are just that – you exchange views to your site by viewing other sites. You can do this type of marketing absolutely free (it has worked for me for two years), but it takes a lot of time because you have to view other people’s websites in order to get your website seen. Of course, for those with less time and an actual advertising budget, there are upgrades that allow you to have your site viewed without as much “surfing” – or “clicking”, as my children call it. Safelists are email advertising programs in which you are allowed to send free email advertisements in exchange for viewing email advertising from other members – but, email advertising can be a dangerous form of advertising. It can be used effectively if you do your research and make sure that the Safelist is a reputable business and has had no trouble with SPAM – the Internet Marketer’s biggest fear! Forum advertising is simply posting your ads on forums that allow ads – however, it is also a good idea to post in other areas of the forum. If you are lucky enough to have an advertising budget or you have built your online business to the point that the business provides you with an advertising budget, there are many ways to get targeted advertising. Pay per click advertising is a form of advertising in which you pay a certain amount for each time someone clicks on your link – and this can be a very effective way of advertising. For small businesses – whether brick and mortar or Internet-based, there is plenty of free Internet advertising available. Instead of using money, you put in time in order to make your business successful. This has allowed many people that do not have the money to start a business of their own the opportunity to start their own business and work their way to success. And, believe me – I know it can be done – just watch out for those sharks!
