Got Lots of Time - But No Money - Free Marketing Methods That Produce Real Leads

There is a fallacy circling the net. It's that free methods of advertising don’t produce significant results. I have disproved the fallacy that free advertising doesn’t work, and continue to prove it wrong month after month. I use the methods discussed here to produce high quality leads with an excellent conversion rate.

The key is consistency. Time is money, and if you don’t have the money to market- then you’d better have TIME. If you’ve got 1 hour per day/night, SO BE IT. But make that one hour the most productive it can be. You will have to start somewhere- just START. Start marketing, and if one method/place you put your ads works to get you opt-in leads, then do it over, and over again. Some of those leads will turn into buyers. It’s all about numbers. Even if only 1 person opts in per day- eventually that will mean money in your pocket. You are doing something right- CELEBRATE! And then do that something again, over and over again. The fact is, you will have to do a lot of repetitive free posting and such until you are making the money to place paid ads. Don’t whine about it, just DO IT.

The only way you can fail is if you QUIT. Don’t use your lack of funds as an excuse for your failure. Free methods of advertising DO work.

Free Method #1, The Signature File

First, let me describe a method that will produce a steady stream of free visitors to your site. It is a simple, free method that requires just a few seconds to set up. It is called a signature file. If you are not already using a sig file, start right now. A sig file looks something like this:

==========================================

Wishing You Life's Best,

Your Name

http://www.SponsoringSuccess.com

Tired of Tiny Checks? This Secret is Your Solution!

==========================================

You should have your signature file on every piece of you send. You can even use a "bounce back" email to expose your sig file to people who send you emails on their opportunity. You can simply thank them for the info they sent -- and hit send.

Free Method #2, Ezine Advertising

eZine ads are powerful, provided you are using targeted ezines and have good ad copy. There are many, many ezines that you can place your free ads in. The key here is repetition. Place that free ad week in and week out. You will get traffic.

Free Method #3, Networking Sites

Sites like Ryze, and even My Space, are gathering places for people who work a home based business. By going into these sites and introducing yourself and leaving them with your sig file link, you will be targeting exactly the people you want to work with.

Free Method #4 Forum Posting

Forum posting is a wonderful and enjoyable way to get highly targeted traffic. When you make yourself a valuable contributor to a forum (message board), you will have a steady stream of people clicking on your signature file. It is very important that you do not 'spam' the boards with your offer. People will see through it and you will not get the desired response. Instead, find a topic that you are knowledgeable about and start answering questions. If there isn't already a topic that suits you - start your own thread. Just post away, with meaningful content, and your link in your sig file will produce highly targeted traffic. People will want to work with YOU.

Believe me; it is well worth it to spend a couple of hours marketing every evening for a month or two to achieve the income that you deserve. If you have time, but no money, then become a master of free advertising – it’s a temporary, but necessary course of action if you want to get your business off of the ground!
