How many times have you been frustrated with your
promotional efforts online ?
Let's face it...most folks working online are amateurs
when
it comes to promotion. They simply don't come to
the
internet prepared with the tools, experience and
background
in advertising and promotion.
The learning curve can be pretty steep when it comes
to
learning to promote effectively. There is a wealth of
information and resources available. In fact there
are some
many helpful sites and resources that it is very easy
to
become confused with the whole process.
Searching the internet for promotion resources
provides you
with lots of sites and gurus who will promise you the
moon
in exchange for your hard-earned dollars.
Finding a few dependable sites and trusted
webmasters who
will act as a mentor in your learning process is one
good
tactic to consider.
Personally, I have developed a small group of allies
online
with whom I can discuss problems, find answers and
bounce
my ideas off.
You will discover that the old adage, "Never get in a
hurry
to buy or sell.", is still true today. You can easily run
out of money buying this and that amazing
promotional
gimmick, software, service or product.
There is plenty to buy online, but there are tons of
fre
resources available too.
Here are a few suggestions as you work through the
process.
Be Organized
Set aside some time each day to work on your
promotions.
Don't get caught up in surfing the net or other time-
wasters.
Be Observant
What are other successful sites doing to promote
their
businesses. If it works for them, chances are it will
work
for you too.
Be Creative
There are lots of ways to promote. Not all of them
have
been used yet. Do some brain-storming each day to
get
the creative thoughts flowing.
Be Determined
Working online can be downright discouraging for
many
who expected to find the gold at the end of the
rainbow
just by building a site and throwing up some affiliate
links.
While the learning curve for learning to promote
effectively
online is a steep one, you can do it with some
determination
and with little damage to your pocketbook
by being selective in the resources you choose to
use.
