FREE Online Marketing Plan
New marketers need not worry about spending any money. Learn these FREE marketing techniques first. Then you can start maximizing each method accordingly.
You Get What You Pay For?
That term is usually true , no matter what is being bought. But for marketing, sometimes its more about the time spent, and not the money. Our time and energy is very important when laying the foundation of an online business. (Also true if you are using online marketing for a brick and mortar business, which will be much more frequent in the months to come)
So forget about the spending your hard earned mulah, and concentrate on the more important aspects of your business or product.
1. How are you helping others.
2. What can you offer that others dont.
3. What is your targeted audience.
4. Whats the best way to create long term revenue.
5. Definitely Think about creating a little Report that you can giveaway free.
Get these steps out of the way and you will be ready to promote your product or service.
FREE Marketing Plan
Here is the basic plan:
Place Your Website Link In front Of Viewers. —-> Offer them a FREE product for signing up with your ‘newsletter’.——-> Send them to Unique Sign Up pages so you can monitor which traffic techniques bring the most traffic, and so you can tweak each option accordingly.——-> Create the Emails in your autoresponder that will give them advice , help , and more FREE products —–> Send 5-7 Of these helpful Emails, spreading links throughout , that lead to your main product ———> Then after you have built trust, you focus on selling the Main Product ——-> Constantly tweak your FREE traffic options, and consider spending money accordingly – after you know what techniques can be optimized.
Tons Of FREE Marketing Tools
Using the many FREE marketing options is not just about throwing your ad’s and link’s out into the internet world and seeing what sticks. Many times it might seem like nothing is sticking, but that is because it takes time and practice.
It takes TIME and not MONEY.
The plan is quite simple , its about putting the product in front of prospective buyers and leading them through a sales funnel. So how can we put our product, or websites in front of these people?
There are many different traffic options that you can use, and you should definitely think about using them all. Here is a list of the most common ones:
1. Articles -Obviously , I like these.
2. FREE Classifieds
3. Using Forums
4. Traffic Exchange
5. Social Marketing
6. Answer Sites
All these are great ways to offer people the opportunity to check out your site. And they are also good for creating back links for your SEO. Remember, when using these sites it is critical that you make the most of all the linking options.
Part 1 Of The FREE Online Marketing Plan
Using each of these FREE traffic options can be different in the type of viewers you get and what you should with each of them.
What you need to do is offer people the FREE report that you created. And that involves using a squeeze page. What you are doing is trying to show them that you are an expert in your field. Its not about trying to make a sale right away. That rarely works. So you will find that funneling is the absolute best way to make sales.
Take time out of each day to use each of these FREE methods, try to create a tracking system that will tell you which traffic systems are working the best. I usually create different landing pages for each traffic option. When the person clicks through and signs up for the free report, they are listed in there own unique autoresponder. Thus I can tell which traffic system is pulling in the most prospects. I have a link to all the free tools you will need, as well as 5 FREE autoresponders.
So you send your visitors to the squeeze page and now you have there email address. This is when you show them that you are willing to share your expert advice with them. So what you want to do is set up your autoreponders with around 5 email messages ,all of them about 2-3 days apart. In these emails you should focus on giving helpful tips and advice. Oh yeah, you should definitely think about providing FREE information and products. You can find this stuff easily.
In these emails its O.K. to create a link to your product after your signature, just to give them the opportunity to but. But after you have sent out the helpful emails, thats is when you can offer your product to them. See, you have been educating them on the whatever topic your product deals with. See, you have been using these emails to ‘presell’ them.
Its a known fact that people usually do not buy something until they have seen it atleast 5-7 times.
Why will they buy from you?
Because they TRUST YOU! You have been proving yourself as an information provider, someone who really wants to help. (Make sure that really do try to help people. They can see through the fake stuff)
Now you what is great about this system?
1.If you make the sale, you still have many opportunities to make more sales.
2. If you dont make the sale, you still have tons more opportunities to sell them something else.
That is the real power of funneling. Now I wish I could explain how to get maximum traffic out of all the FREE traffic methods, but that would take quite awhile. But I can help you with some FREE tools and software that will totally increase the power of your online marketing. Just click the lick above, and good luck!
