[|> Free Classifieds
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are literally thousands of
free places for you to advertise
on the Internet. Some are
outstanding at pulling prospects to
your site or to request more
information. Some are not effective at generating
good leads for your business. As
with most methods, it's a numbers game!
When you post to free classified
sites, you need to comply with
the guidelines that the web site
requires. Most will allow you a brief 4-6 line
ad, with +/- 70 characters per
line.
Again, your HEADLINE will be the
most critical aspect of your
ad!

[|> Signature
Files
________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
One of the easiest and most
effective marketing strategies
you can employ, is to always include
your signature file,
(or sig. file), with every email
that you send.
Your sig. file gives you the chance
to tell people a little bit
about who you are, and what you do.
Then, you get them to respond by
visiting your URL,
requesting your autoresponder, or
simply contacting you
via phone or e-mail.
You've heard of viral marketing,
right?
The concept of Viral Marketing is
simple: let your message
spread through email the same way a
virus' are spread. Five
email five, who each email five, who
email five more. When
this happens five more times, your
message has reached a
million people! WOW! It works.
This has always worked in marketing;
offline it is called
word of-mouth. The problem with
word-of-mouth is that the
marketers had very little control
over the speed and accuracy
of the message that were sent.
With email and the Internet, the
rules have changed.
People
pass on your message, or your link
to a web site, with your
message. The message is the same.
The trick is sending out emails
worth passing on! If you're
not an accomplished writer, pass on
articles of those who
are, with your signature file
included! The key is sending
out something of
value!
Do you ever get jokes through the
email? Sometimes the
same one several times over, right?
Now I'm not advocating
wasting your time or others' sending
out jokes all day, but
it proves my point that
word-of-mouth, or viral marketing
does work!
So use signature files because
they Flat Out
Work!
It is easy to set up your sig file,
and most e-mail programs
offer an option for you to type it
in and have it added
automatically to each and every
e-mail message you
send out.
If you're not using a sig file, look
in your e-mail program help
files. If yours doesn't have this
option, you should consider
downloading a new program. You can
download Eudora Lite
at >> http://www.eudora.com
or Pegasus, at >>
http://www.pmail.com
both of these email programs are
powerful email clients,
and they're FREE
!!
Your sig file shouldn’t be long, 3 -
6 lines are acceptable, but it's up to you!
It's also best to enclose it with
fancy borders. When you
receive emails with a signature file
you like, copy it! At
Harvard that's called plagiarism; in
marketing, it's called
smart!
;-)
Here's an example of a signature
file for promoting
Your www.YourWebSite.com

"Creating a Signature
File"
A Sig File is a small '.txt' file
that gets automatically attached to each
email you send out when you're using
your primary email client. When you set
one up, each email you send to
prospects, relatives, friends and associates
will see this message without you
having to manually put it in. This section
will show you how to advertise using
a Sig File.
The first thing you need to do is
create a '.txt' file and name it 'sig.txt'.
Here's an example sig file you can
use..

"Where to Place Top Sponsor
Ads"
"In Business, you never get what you
deserve, you get what you negotiate."
Below is a list of many of the best
places to place Top Sponsor Ads. Reach over
1,000,000 true Opt-Ins!! A Top
Sponsor Ad is an ad that goes out on the top or
near the top of an ezine. There are
different rates on these pages but they are
all worth testing. I feel it's more
appropriate to leave out circulations and
prices on this page because these
will change with the nature of the internet.
Top Ezine Ads - This website is a
paid directory listing allowing you to choose
ezines in many different categories.
This will give you many more advertising
options than are on this
page.
Directory of Ezines - This directory

inboxes. If you're very serious
about promoting your business, do a search on

Advertising
Tip!
Here is a list of words to avoid
using in your copy...
These words will destroy
sales.
buy, contract, bad, death, loss,
hard, worry, taxes, wrong, difficult, sell,
deal, fail, liability, cost,
obligation, decision.
These words create sales! Use some
of them when writing your ads!
free, love, amazing, safe, new,
benefit, gain, money, happy, glad,
proven, guarantee, fast, results,
discover, how you, how to, now, fun, value,
easy, you, your, yours, you'll,
healthy, natural, magic, secret, comfortable,
proud, secure,
solution.
--------------------------------------------------------
Negative headlines work best, but
the challenge is to create
short headlines that are powerfully
worded.
The biggest mistake you should avoid
is writing headlines that make
big money claims. Most people view
these headlines as hype and those
who look at them are put on a
defensive posture. It's a strategy that
doesn't work. If you want your
marketing efforts to succeed, then set
yourself apart from the rest. Use a
two step system by offering
something of value free (that being
step 1) and then follow-up with a
series of sales letters until they
buy (that being step 2).
Your classified ads should be short,
powerful and designed to create
plenty of curiosity. By designing
your ads this way, you will create
an action to get more information.
And that's the key! Your classified ads
should only perform one function...
the desire for those who read
them to take action and get more
information from you.
Here are examples of classified ads
that pull like crazy.

once-in-a-lifetime free

[end of
ads]
Keep in mind, the life span of these
ads can be short lived. If you are getting
lots of exposure to your ads then
you will have to change them from time to
time. You should track each ad you
place and measure your response rates. When
you see a decline in responses, then
replace them with new ads.
