6 Ways to Generate Millions of Dollars in Free Adverts
by Oluwafisayo Akinlolu
Yes you can generate millions in free adverts. You can have a zero
dollar-advertising budget and still get tons of traffic to your
business.
Here are six simple ways of getting things done; both online and
offline.
1. Use Networks and Referrals.
Look for businesses that compliment yours and work with them. A
caterer would find it profitable to work with a wedding photographer,
bridal consultant, reception halls, jewellers etc. All he needs to do
is send his clients to the others and they do the same.
You can also ask your clients to refer you to others and reward them
for it. Think up good networks and referral systems. Online it is
called Joint Venture. Use it profitably.
2. Article Writing.
Writing is a good way of getting free publicity. Write articles and
make it known that it can be published freely. Your article will
definitely refer back to you, and if it is very good, it might end up
in a newsletter or magazine that has thousands of audience.
3. Hosting an Online Article or Ebook Directory.
I don't care what your business is; the simple truth is that you
can
get traffic, customers, by having an online article or ebook
directory where people can get free articles and ebooks.
If you already have a website, add an article or ebook directory. Go
round the web and harvest some of the thousands of articles and
ebooks flying around.
I am currently working on a list of ebook download links, websites
that contain free ebooks and websites that contain free articles and
accept articles from authors. If you would like to have this list
when it is completed, send me an email telling me exactly what you
would like to have. Once I have things organised, I will send you a
copy of the compiled list.
Put all the materials you have together at your website and make a
little noise about it. Sit back and watch what will happen to your
business.
4. Competitors co-operating.
I know you do not like the sound of this but think about it. Airlines
that are competitors work together by sending you to their
competitors when they experience hang-ups. You can do the same.
When you can't do a job at a certain price, recommend one of your
competitors you can vouch for. He will do the same one day. Again
this is called Joint Venture online. Two or three businesses offering
the same service come together. When you go to one, he asks you if
you would like to hook up with the other. Your answer will naturally
be yes.
Use it too and you will save yourself a whole lot of money.
5. Hosting an FFA site.
Similar to ebook and article directory. FFA means free for all. You
can for instance host a site where you allow people to post ads for
free. Their adds will usually stay there for a certain period of
time. Once they come to you, you have the right to present your
business to them and what an exposure that is.
What will come out of it will surprise you. Yahoo! Used this same
secret and believe me it WORKS.
6. Ebook
Write a book on your area of expertise and give it out for free. You
could even give out reprint rights to the book. Remember your
business is right in the book. Those who make money from the book
will work like crazy to advertise it and make profits. The more money
they make, the more your exposure and since you wrote the book, all
the traffic will naturally come back to you.

Join this webcast to see how IBM Data Studio Developer and pureQuery can take the pain out of Java data access. uApplications developed using both Java and SQL have become a common requirement. Database connectivity using Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) to create an application is a multi-step tedious process, and tooling that covers both SQL and Java has been unavailable, until now. IBM Data Studio introduces the pureQuery platform: a high-performance, Java data access platform focused on simplifying the tasks of developing, managing, and optimizing database applications and services.
