Invest Your Advertising Budget Wisely

One question seems to pop up time after time and it's one that is rarely addressed.

I have a limited advertising budget and want to know where to best invest my funds to get maximum returns. Where is it best to spend my advertising dollars?

There are so many ways and so many places for you to "spend" your advertising budget and certainly what I will be recommending here, is not the only way to wisely spend your advertising budget.

My focus online is teaching you how to use online resources to build your list. It is my belief, and that of all successful marketers, that the secret to success is in having an active optin-list.

Of course, we all know that having a list is only part of the solution ... one does need to learn how to follow-up with the people on that list to bring them into your business.

In my training, I use several very effective resources however, I realize that someone just starting out cannot possibly join all the resources right away.

And even if you do, I recommend you go easy when you are just starting out. If you take on too many programs all at once without taking the time to set them up and learn how they work, you run the risk of becoming overwhelmed ... and when that happens, you run the risk of throwing your arms up in disgust telling the world "... this doesn't work".

Believe me ... "this" does work!

Ok ... let's get down to the basics.

There are a LOT of programs available on the Internet ... some good ones, some bad ones, some new ones and some old ones. Some work, some don`t.

In this post, I`m going to start you off with my top 3 advertising resources to help you break into the online market. These resources have all been tried and tested and will bring you results. I'm also including the prospecting system we use that can help you begin to build your own opt-in lists.

Advertising Programs & Upgrade Costs

List Joe is an online list builder and advertising resource that is by far, one of the best advertising resources available to you. ListJoe is free to join and very effective even for free members. In fact, it's one of the few we recommend that is effective as a free member.

There are different upgrade options available with ListJoe, from as low as $27 per month, you can email a random group of ListJoe members. The absolute BEST value at ListJoe, is the One Time offer of $197.00. The One time offer allows you to email 3,000 ListJoe members every 3 days. That's access to 30,000 random members a month!

ListJoe members are active, not only in clicking links but in taking action and joining your programs and purchasing your products.

The initial cost to join ListJoe is free and your upgrade options range in price from $27 per month to a one time fee of $197.00 (Best Value).

TheListAuction is another online advertising resource and `list builder`. Much like ListJoe, ListAuction works on the premise of members `clickìng`the advertising links offered in the ListAuction emails.

Each site visited earns you credits to email TheListAuction members.

TheListAuction is free to join and also offers a One time offer when you activate your membership. The one time offer is a $100 savings on a yearly membership. You pay only $147.
TheListAuction offers silver and Gold monthly and annual memberships. Starting at just $19 per month, there is something to fit every budget.

As an upgraded member of The List Auction, you will have the ability to login and send an email ad to 3000 random members every 3 days. Again, like ListJoe, that's 30,000 potential viewers to your ad, each and every month.

Viral URL is a link tracker as well as a great advertising resource. There is a lot more to ViralURl than meets the eye and the best way to benefit from ViralURL is to simply use it to track your links when you advertise.

ViralURL is such an important resource that I wrote an entire blog post dedicated to setting up and using ViralURL. Because this post is dedictated to advertising resources, we'll focus here on the advertising aspect of ViralURL.

As an upgraded member in ViralURL, you can email 3000 members every 3 days, just like the lists above. The One-time upgrade is $197.00 and well worth it once you see what's offered.

Now, let's review what we covered here today.

I introduced you to three very good resources that you can use to advertise your business to 90,000 prospects or more a month!

These three programs are my top picks of where I recommend you should spend your advertising dollars.

Begin with ListJoe as it's a must have resource, upgrade with the One time offer of $197.00 and begin advertising to their list. I recommend you register for an EarthFriendlyBiz system and follow the advertising process I teach through the system. It makes all this real simple.

If the $197 is out of your budget, take one of the monthly upgrades starting as low as $27 per month.

When you are ready, you can add ListAuction and ViralURL as a paid member. The sooner you can have these three programs as a paid member, the sooner you will see an increase in your advertising efforts.

Your list will grow, your business will grow and you WILL make money!

What's it going to cost to upgrade in these 4 system?

EarthFriendlyBiz $17.95

That's a total of $558.95 ... less than $600 to get setup with an amazing marketing system you can use for years to come! This is an investment that will show a return!

I look forward to hearing from you and am anxious to hear about your list building results.
