So let's get started by looking at some ofrepparttar 137495 basic tenets:repparttar 137496 laws of successful promotion.

* Plan Your Promotion, Then Promote Your Plan Whether you are submitting your link to an FFA links page (Free For All) or spending several hundred dollars on an Ezine Solo Ad, treat every promotion as a single campaign. Have a purpose and desired result for your effort. Plan your work, work your plan. Haphazard effort leads to haphazard results. Commit fully - remember, this is a business, not a hobby.

* Carefully Target Your Audience Wasted dollars are oftenrepparttar 137497 result of attractingrepparttar 137498 wrong set of eyeballs. Just as important as what you want people to see, is attractingrepparttar 137499 right set of viewers. Select an audience who will berepparttar 137500 most receptive to your offer. Many websites offer a gazillion hits for a tiny amount of money. If you have money to burn, then go for it. Rule of thumb: if you can't target these hits by country of origin AND by category of interest, you may as well throw your wallet inrepparttar 137501 fireplace and roast marshmallows.

* Keep Your Promotions Prospect-Centered Never becomerepparttar 137502 object of your promotion, instead allow your prospect to become point of focus. Userepparttar 137503 word "I" sparingly, userepparttar 137504 word "you" liberally. Ten uses of "you" for every "I" is a good goal.

* Stress Buyer Benefits, Not Seller Features The beauty of a great promotion is that you are building your business simply by promoting what you believe in. When a feature is mentioned precede it withrepparttar 137506 benefit as inrepparttar 137507 sentence above. "You get a free website" is a feature. "Your free website is designed to dorepparttar 137508 selling for you so that your only job is to get prospects to your site" is a benefit.
