Guide to free advertising

By Rebecca Gilbert When I first started my internet home business, I realized that in order to make money I would have to bring visitors to my website. I didn't have a lot of extra cash laying around, and my mentality at repparttar time was "Why would I pay for it, when I can get it for free"? So, I starting searching repparttar 117210 internet for places that would accept an ad for my product for free. I was very happy to find literally thousands of sites willing to accept my ad. As repparttar 117211 weeks went by I worked hard and learned a lot. The phrase that comes to mind when I think back is, "you get what you pay for". I was placing ads on repparttar 117212 internet every free moment I got and was getting very little results. Not being one to quite, I figured I would move on to another form of advertising or figure out what I was doing wrong with repparttar 117213 free advertising. As soon as I placed my ad, I would go back and look at it. I expected my ad to be at repparttar 117214 top of repparttar 117215 list since I had just placed it. Much to my surprise, my ad was listed down repparttar 117216 list a little way. I realized that at repparttar 117217 very moment that I was placing my ad, others were doing repparttar 117218 same. And as each person placed an ad, mine moved further down repparttar 117219 list. In my infinite wisdom... I realized that potential visitors would probably not search past repparttar 117220 first page before choosing a product. So then I decided that I would go into that site and place my ad every few hours. This way I knew it would always stay close to repparttar 117221 top of repparttar 117222 page, and hopefully be viewed by a potential customer. How right I was!!! Eventually, I had my first customer and had made my first sale on repparttar 117223 internet! What a feeling! I was ready to take repparttar 117224 internet by storm... The week ran into repparttar 117225 weekend, and I continued in repparttar 117226 same way with my free ad campaign...and no luck. Several weeks went by were I was getting visitors and making sales through repparttar 117227 week, and none on repparttar 117228 weekend. Are you seeing a pattern here? I sure did. I soon discovered through statistical data that I pulled up from a search engine that repparttar 117229 internet traffic on repparttar 117230 weekend is super low compared to repparttar 117231 weekdays. I also learned that repparttar 117232 internet traffic is at its peak around repparttar 117233 noon hour in repparttar 117234 US. From that day forward, I didn't waste my time advertising on repparttar 117235 weekends. Instead, I would sit down around 11:00 a.m. every morning and run as many free ads as was humanly possible. I could just about plan each day at noon that I could get a potential customer, affiliate, sale. I'm also a firm believer in repparttar 117236 phrase "work smarter, not harder". It didn't take me long to figure out that I could utilize copy and paste and run repparttar 117237 same ad in every category that it applied. I also used repparttar 117238 back button on my browser a lot. Most of repparttar 117239 time by using repparttar 117240 back button, all my information was still there and I could just choose a different category.
