If you have been doing business on the Internet for long,
you know that you can spend a lot of time searching.
Searching for all sorts of things. You may have even found
that you spend 10 times the amount of time searching as you
do promoting or creating. If this is true for youand I am
sure it isit doesn't have to be true anymore!
What you are reading is your opportunity to stop searching
and start promoting. Let someone else do the searching for
you! Every week, we will list "Five Free Marketing Resources
You Can Use to Grow Your Online Business TODAY." Each week
this list will be completely different from the previous
week. I promise you, you won't want to miss it! So, be sure
and return every week to see what great things we come up
with. On to the list...
1. Marketing discussion boards are a great way to get help
and network with other Webmasters. If you participate (ask
questions/give adviceNever advertise) often, they are also
a good way to get traffic. Chayden Bates has started a new
discussion board at his site. It is a great board! The
response time is outstanding. Visit the board here:

3. By now, I am sure you have noticed all of those beautiful
covers that people are using to promote their ebooks and
other products. Those images really add credibility to your
ebook or product. There are a number of services that will
create those covers for you for a fee of anywhere from
$29.95 to $115. A very affordable cost really. But if you
need more than one image, that can get pricey. There are
also a number of tutorials that will teach you to create
those images yourself. Also worth every penny. But... here
is an outstanding free ebook cover creation tutorial! It
will teach you to create images just like the pros. This
tutorial is every bit as good as the ones that are for sale.
