So how do we break those barriers? It's quite simple really, in case of Gold Link. His solution was as follows for those 2 examples above.

First, find a free product that you believe in. Offer it from your site as a thank you for signing up to your mailing list. In The Gold Link's case it's a free cellphone. Now he can post an ad in any freebie listing place to effect that Gold Link is giving away free cellphones. Ton's of free ad space in all ezines with free stuff as a topic. Plus it grows his mailing list.

Second, get involved with a marketing package you can discuss in marketing ezines and forums. In Gold Links case he signed up for Startblaze, nomorehits, and ezytraffic and several more. I then wrote a special Traffic Magic report about how to automate credit building process in these programs. He gives report away free through an autoresponder trafficmagic@tgoldlink.com. This report was so effective and it intrigued so many marketers that they had to go check him out some bought gold. It allowed him to expand his exposure into internet marketing crowd. It allows him to submit his ads to internet marketing ezine community.

Be creative and you can go "on and on" about "how to get into other target markets," but those examples should help point way for some of you who are hoping to expand their market.
