What's Working In Advertising Now!
Recommendations for this month
Remember, no matter what site you use, it's better to use a lead capture page than not. It allows you to follow
up on your leads. I find that people need additional info after looking at this site. A phone follow-up is highly
recommended.
Phone Leads
When you consider that only about 5 - 20% of people who come to a lead capture page from a Google ad fill in
the phone # (which is why you would use a lead capture page in the first place). That means that if a click
costs you $1.20, a lead with a phone # costs about $6 - $25, plus there is no guarantee the phone is good.
$4.75 per lead is a great deal, especially when you consider that the phone #s are guaranteed...just my 3 cents.
PAID ADVERTISING
The best results are coming from keyword buys on search engines like Google, Yahoo, 7Search, etc. See my
section on "Pay Per Click Ads".
Since phone follow-up is crucial, I would recommend using a lead capture page to capture the phone number.
FREE AND LOW COST ADVERTISING
The best results we're currently getting from
the following (BEST OF THE BEST):
Remember however, if all you're doing is placing free or low cost advertising, you need to place 100 to 300 ads
per day.
WHAT I DO NOW
I get calls almost every day asking me what advertising I’m doing to generate the sales I’m making.
Below are the actual ads I’m placing this month. Just remember that I did not start with a budget of this size…it’
s something I worked up to.
Certain programs have been in place for a while, and some are new (which I’m testing).
My Ad budget for this month is about $1,000
Here is what I'm doing:
PAID ADS
Google - CPC Campaign ($500)
Yahoo - CPC Campaign ($200)
7 Search - CPC campaign ($100)
Ablewise - Well worth upgrading (got me to 2 page in Google ($30)
Business World List - Mailings every 48 hours ($20)
Money Making Mommy - Classified Ad ($20)
Auto Responder - Follow-up Mailers (MLM Power Marketing and AWeber ($20)
Press Releases - One for $20
Herculist - Mailing ($15)
AdPost - They offer free Classifieds too, however, it's well worth $39 for this ad
(very high rating in Google)
FREE ADS MOSTLY DAILY SUBMISSIONS
See List of FREE advertising list above
Article Submissions - One article per week to 200 sites each (with Article Submitter from back office)
I'm also trying Submit Your Articles, see above.
Affiliate Program - Offering commissions for referrals
Phone Follow-up - With people who come through my lead capture pages and call-ins
Blogging - I blog on a few sites
MySpace - Social Networking Forum
Video Marketing - I started posting my videos on 50 additional video sites...this will be the article
marketing of the future.
Ad Sites That Did Not Work For Me:
Magazine Rotator - Worked OK...not great
Nat. Weekly Newspapers - Tried it...it's ok but not even close to what my online marketing produces
Atraffic Seeker - Tested it for $290, however, seems to be poor traffic. Would not recommend
Expired Domains - Tested. Is only $89 for 10,000 visitors...traffic is no good.
SEO Work - There are many SEO companies that promise the world. USA SEO has been
very aggressive in marketing to EDC members. They promise they will get you
Just remember…you need to find about 10 to 12 vehicles to market your business.

SEO Work - There are many SEO companies that promise the world. USA SEO has been
very aggressive in marketing to EDC members. They promise they will get you
- to the top. I've had distributors that did not even have their own site promised
they will do wonders for them. Please remember...you need your own site
(domain) before you should consider SEO campaigns. In addition, remember
that it will take at least 6 months before you'll get any traffic from that. It's a long
term strategy...and it's very hard to do. Most never deliver even if you spend
$1,000/mo...just ask Michael Corchoran about doing SEO work. This is not
saying you should not implement strategies now...see video marketing, article
marketing, etc, just don't spend $500/ in SEO work if you don't have much more
money to drive traffic now.
Just remember…you need to find about 10 to 12 vehicles to market your business.
