Online Promotion in the Number One Topic we all need to become experts in so our message can be heard - not just by anyone but by those who are looking for what you have to offer.

Below I will outline the methods I use and recommend.

Forums: this takes time to login and check your conversations but because you are interacting with others who are like minded as yourself your ability to get others to look at what you have to say and if they are interested they will check out your Forum Signature Box which directs them to your offer - they are already pre sold that you are the right type of person they want to get to know better. List of Recommended Forums here.

Web2.0: the place to be and to be seen , from youtube , myspace, facebook etc - these are  free sites but because of their popularity it is getting difficult to get noticed - but still a very good place to start if you have anything to say or show.

DirectMatches is a social site that allows you to interact with others who are business minded but to get best value you will need to pay a monthly fee. I would recommend you join as free member because as I found out they build your downline for you, yes, I ignored DirectMatches for nearly 5 months and when I came back I found I had a 2000 member downline, so I upgraded, started to make new business contacts, and of course as those 2000+ members start to upgrade themselves I receive monthly residual income.

Question? Do you think it is better getting others to join your system or program if they have already paid to belong to a social network or do you think free is better?

Alan's Answer: Yes, free systems can and do work, but, those you connect with inside a paid system have already proved they will spend money when they like a system or program, while your free members are more likely to just take all your time, effort and contribute almost zero to your bank account.. and the point of any online business is to make money.

Only Join The Best:

My Aim - to promote Global Domains International ( GDI ) and programs that will build my GDI downline.

Promoting other Affiliate programs where you have upgraded to a paid member will cost you at the start , but as others you recommend join you thats when you receive that fee back and more - for most this will mean their initial joining cost is reduced to nothing , over time you will make money on all these programs.

Best Downline Builder: Grin Team - you need a downline builder that has GDI as its top program , you can use it to recommend 2 of your own affiliate programs ,plus others will join below you for the best of online promotional tools - pro lifetime member costs $135.

Best Safelist: ListJoe - ListJoe has combined a method that guarantees thousands of others will see your webpage - Listjoe sends you 20 - 30 emails per day , you open each email , click the link to open each webpage for viewing (I have a method that takes just 2 minutes a day ), each webpage viewed gives you 10 - 20 credits , each credit equals your webpage being viewed once. I recommend being a gold member - allows sending 3000 emails per 3 days plus credits earned by opening emails ( thats over 4000 ) - cost $197 for 12 months.

Best Direct Mailer: ViralURL - direct mailer allows you to send 3000 emails every 3 days to members - these members are the top of the crop business builders - very targeted , plus the Essential Benefits are :                            1/ Unlike most other mailers where when you receive an email it has the Mailer name in the heading like Listbandit or ListDotCom , ViralURL mailer allows you to use "your own email address and name" meaning those receiving the emails cannot tell if they are coming for a direct mailer or a friend ( so opening rates are high ).                                                                                               2/ you can clone your affiliate links meaning online surfers cannot just take out your affiliate links to get to a webpage ( that's impossible )- lifetime gold membership costs $197.

Best Traffic Exchange: Webbizinsider , has over 130,000 active members - the ONLY Traffic Exchange that sends you one daily email containing 50 credits equal to surfing in the TE 50 times ,means your webpage gets seen 50 times   ( saves you 17 minutes a day surfing the TE ) Plus , as your downline in Webbizinsider grows you receive credits from their surfing also.                       I like Webbizinsider so much I bought a downline from them containing over 2000 members which gives me over 1000 credits per day.                          Plus I can email all my 2000 downline members every week.

Best Autoresponder: GetResponse ,The Most Important of Online Tools , this one program is the basis of all your future business's. Why , because no matter what money making idea you get involved with in all your life this AutoResponder will keep all your contacts safe so you can email them at anytime your wish. Remember , with spam email getting worse and the laws worldwide changing the ONLY way to communicate online directly to your prospect is with Double Optin Email , that means they have given you permission twice to send them emails so until they opt-out they are forever on Your List.

What's so important to have the very best autoresponder - simply , should you build up an online business and decide to change autoresponder companies you will have to get all your prospects to opt-in again - chances are most will not bother and you will have lost them - all your previous work to build your list is wasted.

Getresponse is rated either 1st or 2nd by most online experts - I joined because it has no limit on the number of lists or members you have all for the same cost $17.95 month.

Best Browser Toolbar: FreeTrafficBar ,Would you like to get credits for every webpage you look at? Join all those that are enjoying this free traffic method - just install FreeTrafficBar and enjoy the benefits today.

Best Free Viral Traffic: Free Viral Traffic , Viral Traffic is one of the most misunderstood aspects of Internet Marketing. Like MLM Viral Traffic is about using the power of those that follow you and copy your methods that "over time" will build free traffic to your website! Never expect this method to "kick in" for a while but as long as you stick with it the Free Viral Traffic will bring your website to the eyes of tens of thousands of others within a few months. TIP - use this method as a popup or popunder for any of the web promotions you do so that you double all views you get.

Systems To Promote

Best Is You: YES , if you can promote yourself and your business at the same time you will have better results , just promoting your affiliate link for your business will get results , but not as fast - check out the webpage here I promote that gets others to join my Grin Team. I get 3-4 new members to my Grin Team each day plus another 3-4 members into my Getresponse Autoresponder.
