Searching for Free Marketing Tools? You Already Own the Best There Is!
When you first logged on to the Internet, Did you have a clue as to
the education that you were going to get?
I didn't!
It didn't take long for me to realize, "This would be No overnight
rocket to Internet stardom."
I also had reservations about being able to learn all this new stuff!
At times I would become almost overwhelmed with terminologies
that were as foreign to me as a proposition in nuclear physics.
After all, I'd been a construction worker for the past 25yrs. What
ever gave me the idea that I could trade in my Hard Hat for a shot
at Internet Marketing?
The answer to that question: "Because I knew I could and because,
above all else, I wanted to."
Like most of us I spent countless hours on the Web. Searching for
effective ways to get my site noticed. Trying everything that
seemed to make sense to me.
I went the route of free classified sites, ffa link sites, banner
exchanges, link exchanges, and spent a few bucks trying the
automated software to submit to those sites. There wasn't exactly
a flood of traffic to my site. Although I really had no way of
knowing what kind of traffic I was getting since I didn't do any ad
tracking back then.
I did an awful lot of reading and discovered that I could get Free
subscriptions to online publications that were just jammed with
useful information.
Ezine/Newsletter editors and publishers that freely shared their
knowledge and expertise with those that would read their
publications.
I subscribed to many. There were some that were extremely good
and some not so good. After a time It occured to me, there seemed
to be a concensus among them about effectively promoting your
site.
Writing Articles!
Now don't jump right up and say, "I can't do that!" or "Jeez I
don't even have a High School Diploma!" or any of a thousand
excuses we can come up with that keeps us in our Comfort Zone.
We all know something about something.
If you've ever told a story.
If you've ever told a joke.
If you've ever rehearsed a conversation in your head that you
were going to have at a later date.
If you can fog up a mirror. :-)
YOU CAN WRITE AN ARTICLE!
With a couple hundred thousand online publications out there,
what you have to share, will affect someone.
Will your first article be perfect? Lord No!
Will everyone read it? Probably Not!
Will there be room for improvement? Sure!
Will we ever be equal to the Big Authors? Why not? With time
and practice anything is possible.
A paradox that I hold on to is:
What We Give Away We Get to Keep!
Build relationships with people.
Don't be an anonymous, faceless
image behind your computer monitor.
Give your name out whenever possible.
Always introduce yourself when contacting someone for the first
time.
Let people get to know you. Go On Take a Risk!
Share willingly and freely with your fellow travelers and Success
will surely Be Yours.
Yours in Success
