It has been over 100 degrees for most of the week

here and it is awful for business, peoples' health

and even our pets. Last night we got the first rain

of the month, it poured for about 5 minutes and brought

a tiny bit of relief. Oh, how I long for Autumn!

What's Wrong With Your Promotions?

(c)Copyright 2007 Larry Johnson

 

 

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 on promotion.

 

 

In fact there are so 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.

 

 

I have a desktop full of software and promotional items

that for the most part go un-used. If I had the money

back that I have invested in them, my wife and I would

be able to vacation for two weeks in Cancun.

 

 

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 that I can rely on to discuss problems, find

answers and bounce my ideas off of them.

 

 

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 fr*e 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.

 

 

Where will your promotional efforts be one year from

now? Will you still be doing the same ol' thing?

Or are you now ready to put into practice a plan

of action that will bring you some great results?

Positive Quotes

 

There is nothing so comfortable as money, -

but nothing so defiling if it be come by unworthily;

nothing so comfortable, but nothing so noxious

if the mind be allowed to dwell upon it constantly.

If a man have enough, let him spend it freely.

If he wants it,let him earn it honestly.
