Tips On Advertising And Selling Your Product Online
If you plan to sell your art online with your own unique website, my advice is simple: Be Different! There are hundreds of artist websites online today that are all making the same mistakes.
Some less effective but otherwise worthy marketing venues are traffic exchanges, safelists, text advertising exchange network, free classifieds, press release sites, blogs, forums and sites like Yahoo Answers.
Link exchange .there are sites that you can join for free and they will let you participate in exchanging links with sites similar to yours. You post links to your site on theirs and they do the same with yours essentially sharing search traffic amongst several of you. You can also contact specific webmasters and ask to exchange links with them. Just make sure that they are in the same general category as you. In other words, you don’t want to exchange links for your MLM business with a dog training website because people searching for dog training info are not going to be interested in your business pitch. You want your link on relevant sites that people are searching.
I have joined online jobs such as Web website advertising Colleagues Project Payday and multiple Paid Online Surveys some legit and some turned out to be nothing but a scam. I will provide you with much needed information based on my experiences with these programs, which will only give you a push in the right direction.
This year at the Pop Warner and AYF National Championships in Florida, I interviewed about 70 youth coaches and asked them what were the top three challenges their team faced this year in their quest to get to Florida. Over 90% of the coaches put fundraising in their top three. In fact there were teams and kids that were left behind because they couldn’t afford to make the trip. Needless to say fundraising is not an isolated problem, it is something we all struggle with.
Writer – Any type of advertising requires writing. Social media requires writing, e-mails require writing. Even video advertising is really writing. Whether you just talk from your heart or if you write it out first, either way, you are writing. You don’t have to be Shakespere, but you do need to be able to write complete sentences. People need to understand the message you are trying to convey. This can be hired out, but most people, with a little practice can learn to express their thoughts in a coherent manner.
Imagine putting the power of a video ad to work on your website. Not only can you personally deliver a message about the power and effectiveness of your product, you can put friends and clients on video as well and they can tell everyone how wonderful you are, too.
Now that you have your numbers figured out. You should obviously start working on the keywords that have the least number of websites ranking for it. You will be surprised how fast you can start getting traffic as a result of this approach.
