Most people say that free Internet advertising is a complete waste of time. In fact, it is not true at all. Free advertising is one of the many ways affiliates can use to achieve success in their home business. If you know how to use free advertising, you can expand your business to a higher level. The only thing that might be a little downside about using free advertising is that you need to spend more time on it compared to paid advertising.

If you’ve tried it before but haven’t gotten any responses from potential customers, you may be doing it the wrong way. Don’t worry, you’ll learn everything you need to know about starting your home business and ways to make more profit before you start your first free advertising campaign.

– What you need to do before you start free ads

It is recommended that you set up an additional business email address before posting your free ad. One tricky part of free ads is that you have to confirm your ad confirmation email before it will show. In other words, you’ll receive an email indicating the status of your ad and requiring you to click a confirmation link. Imagine when you post to classified networks, you are bound to receive hundreds of emails in a day.

It is best to set up your email using the free Gmail or Yahoo account so that these emails do not clutter up your real business email inbox. Cleaning the inbox once a week would be enough. Sometimes you need to register before you can post an ad, so you need to verify your email address. It is better to use the same password for all records to facilitate management.

– Post your ads every Tuesday at 12:00 CST

According to a survey, you should know the ad statistics before running your ad to ensure maximum benefit from free advertising. There is a statistic that indicates Internet traffic flows according to the hours of the day. Example:

A graph shows the traffic hits during the days of the week.

A graph shows traffic hits from different time zones

After reading the statistics, you need to combine them into a new report that you can use to predict when is the best time to run your free ad. When you’ve estimated the time and day that most people would be active on the Internet, that’s when you should strike. By simply doing this, you can have 10 perk folds or more.

– Focus on your ads

Focus is really important when you post your ad. I can’t deny that it’s easy to get sidetracked when you see something like ‘Post 2000 ads here for free’ or ‘Use this software to send ads to 500,000 sites’. However, be clear about one thing in advertising, that is, if the method is really effective, there will not be such an ad trying to get you to accept the sale. The owner would have used it only if it really works, so do not pay attention to such advertisements.

Again, I must stress that presentation software is useless. This is because the software will be sent to dead sites that have no human visits to the site, so what’s the point of wasting your money only to end up having ads on a place that no one visits? The only ways to submit ads are manual submission and using AdWizard.

– Placing your ads

Find the right category for your ad, like Business Opportunity or Work From Home. If there are MLM and the like, choose them. If you can post in many categories that would be better, but otherwise, choose the most suitable category.

Most of the time, you are provided with a form to fill in your URL, but there are times when filling in the URL is required. The best way is to fill in your URL every time when you post your ad. When you run your first ad on sites, you don’t have to add the sites to AdWizard yet, but wait until you see which sites are getting the most traffic for you. You can then add those sites to AdWizard.

You need to find as many classified sites as possible to ensure positive results. If you do it correctly, you will find your gold. Submit to sites that can bring at least one visitor to your site. Don’t waste time on sites that don’t bring you any results. Soon, you will know the pattern of visitors coming to your site from which ranked sites. While you may get consistent site visitors, make sure you keep submitting to new sites so you can keep track of new classified ads and perhaps add more valuable sites to your list.

– How often you need to post your ads

You are recommended to post your ads once a day on the classified sites that can bring a lot of traffic to your site. However, check the sites before posting your ad to make sure there aren’t multiple ads of you. Ads can generally stay up for weeks, but sometimes they can appear in about an hour.

– How to find classifieds sites

You can easily find the sites through any online site.

Don’t repeat other people’s mistake. It is not recommended to search the search engine for keywords such as ‘classified ad sites’.

If you search for ‘classified ad sites’, you’ll get a lot of results, but not the ones you need. You’re trying to reach your target audience, so look for ‘work at home’ or ‘home based business’.

Don’t place your ads in the wrong places, as you’ll never reach your target audience by doing so.

Imagine you are looking for a work at home opportunity, so how do you go about searching for it? Suggest the phrases that could be used in the search for opportunities and look for each one of them. This is part of a research on the keywords used to search for this type of home based business.

Once you’ve gotten the results for each keyword, visit the top 20 sites listed on Yahoo and Google and take note of the small details of the sites. Take note of everything important and that’s it.

You may find that it takes a long time, but you will also feel that it is all worth it.

– How to track your results

You must track the results of each ad you submit. This is to make sure you know how many visitors are visiting your site and where they are coming from.

It’s easy to keep track of the results, since you can simply add some HTML code to your site and you can retrieve all sorts of statistics about your visitors. You can then trace back to the ad that brings the most visitors to your site. Soon, you’ll have an idea of ​​which sites you need to send more ads to and which sites you can remove from your list.

If you realized that internet marketing is easier to track compared to offline advertising. The Internet is a huge playground that you can control unlike offline advertising.

An example would be:

When you open a new store in town, and of course you want everyone to know about your business, you put ads in newspapers and flyers in mailboxes. People will come to your store and you will be happy about it. The only problem is that you don’t know if these people are coming to your store after reading the newspapers or brochures. If you want to know you will have to ask each one of them but that seems crazy.

However, with internet marketing, you can easily keep track of everything.

Remember to place ads when the internet is most active, and at the end of the day, only take note of the sites that provide positive results and forget about the ranked sites with no results. Soon, you’ll realize how powerful it is to use free advertising to drive visitors to your site.
