Internet Marketing On A Shoestring Budget - Part 1

Internet Marketing On A Shoestring Budget - Part 1
Copyright 2009 by Willie Crawford

The current economic recession is causing many people
starting online businesses to make some tough decisions.
Often these are also BAD decisions.

During tough times, businesses traditionally cut the
one expense that they often DON’T need to cut… which
is advertising. Instead you just need to spend wiser,
and you will gain market-share BECAUSE your competitors
are cutting back.

Still, many online marketers today are looking for ways to
grow their businesses on a shoestring budget.

One of the most obvious ways is to go out and find things that
you need for your business that you can get for free.

For example, unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past
year, it’s difficult not to notice all of the free
cooperative list-building giveaways being organized by
internet marketers.

Sometimes, hundreds of marketers come together and each
contributes one (or several) free items. They list all of
their items on one central website, but usually require you
to visit the individual contributors’ sites to download each
item.

The gift contributors are willing to do this because it’s
a proven effective way to build their subscriber lists.

You can find free:

- Ebooks and courses
- MP3 audios
- Videos
- Access to membership sites
- Advertising credits
- Resale Rights Products that will readily sell
- Private Label Rights Products that you can rework and
turn into best-sellers
- Software that allows you to operate your business more
efficiently and effectively.
- A tons of other free items…

There is one BIG problem with free stuff though… you often
get what you pay for. Sifting though all of the freebies to
find the gems is often more trouble than it’s worth.

It does take time to examine this stuff and determine
whether or not it’s worthwhile to download. We sometimes
get back to the question my older relatives use to ask me…
“Do you have more time or money?”

Today, time is my most limited resource, but I realize that
is not the case for everyone. So, if you have lots of free
time, it IS worthwhile to visit these free giveaway sites
and look for tools to grow your business on a shoestring
budget.

If you DON’T have a lot of free time, but still want to take
advantage of the free giveaways, there is a solution.

That solution is to trust the recommendations of an ezine
publisher or marketer who has EARNED your trust by making
only “solid” recommendations. Check out the free giveaways
that they recommend.

I actually feel like I fall in that category :-)

However, if you want to find the very best free giveaways
that offer top quality free items that you can use in
growing your business, I recommend that you frequent:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

There, you’ll always find links to free giveaways that the
staff has actually taken the time to go through and VERIFY
that they are not filled with worthless JUNK.

As an example, today, they point you to free giveaways that
have reports such as:

“Clickbank Insider Secrets - For Clickbank Affiliates And
Merchants” an MP3/PDF combination that shares knowledge I
have never seen shared anywhere else.

“How To Actually Make Money With Squidoo - In-depth MP3 Audio
Interview”

“Total YouTube Domination - Audio with MRR/PLR” - This audio
taught me how to divert traffic from the most popular existing
videos on YouTube… one of the best audios I’ve ever listened
to!

“Hidden Methods That I Use To Sell More Big Ticket Items -
PDF Special Report”

“Explosive Traffic System - FREE Report Reveals The REAL Secrets
Of Easily Getting 10,000+ Unique Visitors Per Month For Free!”

“The Secret of Domain Pagerank 3 - How to Get A Domain with High
Pagerank Instantly and Monetize It to Get Monthly Income from
Online Programs”

… and literally hundreds more titles.

Yes, one way to build your business on a shoestring budget IS
to sift through and download worthwhile items from free
giveaways. Again, the key is that you need to know which ones
have the good stuff. For that insight, you can trust:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

Before we leave the topic of free giveaways, they ARE a great
way to build your email list too.

I’ve used them to accelerate the growth of my huge database.

My friend Odinn Sorensen used them to get his business off to
a great start… one that grew so fast that in just over a
year, he QUIT his six-figure job. He felt that secure in his
online business, and it was due to the list he’d built largely
using free giveaways.

If you’d like to know more about how YOU can use free giveaways
to build your list, you’ll also find that info at:
http://InternetMarketingOnAShoestringBudget.org

Ok, that’s it for Part 1 of this article. In the next part
we’ll look at getting that first website up and running on a
shoestring budget… like for free :-)

Be on the lookout for Part 2.

In the meantime, start implementing what you just learned.
Without taking action, you’re no better off than if you didn’t
know!

How Much I Make from My 236,000 List EVERY Month?

Friday, December 26th, 2008

First of all, I hope that your Christmas Day was as
delight-filled as mine.

My 25-year-old daughter dropped by for about 3 hours, and over
lunch I marveled at what a terrific young lady she has grown
into :-)

Then we went over to a friend house where eight couples ate,
watched television, told jokes, sang karaoke, and just enjoyed
each others’ company.

We just “hung out” for about eight hours.

I had a very peaceful and serene day.

Several times, the conversation among “the guys” turned to
work.

All of the guys were former or retired military. Several
of them went back to work for the U.S. Government as soon
as they retired from their military careers.

I listened patiently… really interested in what life was
like for “the rest of the world” :-)

This morning, I was reminded of why I don’t have to get up
every morning and fight the traffic, and deal with the
office politics. I don’t have to contend with jobs where
the recession is causing them to “do more with less” as they
lay-off people while still trying to increase overall
productivity.

I logged in this morning… to ONE of FIVE accounts that I
have with ProfitAutomation.com. That account has a database
of 266,000+ subscribers.

That one asset is probably worth more than many of the
struggling companies that some of my friends work for…
really. There are a lot of small companies in my area that
compete on a year-to-year basis for government contacts.
Many of these businesses come and go each year, so some of
my friends are forever looking for new jobs.

Anyway, I’ve rambled long enough.

I created a short video where I reveal to you how I build
my list, and why it continues to grow. It’s one thing to
add new list-members. It’s another thing altogether to keep
them. If you miss that second part, you’re just spinning
your wheels.

The video is at: http://SageMarketer.com/26Dec08/

Feel free to point it out to your struggling online
friends. After all, this is a season for giving :-)

Oh, I won’t share with you exactly how much I make from
my list… not yet. It would shock you though!

I will say that it makes life very comfortable, and that to
do the same thing, you start by taking that first step…
which I freely share with you in the video.

Thank you,
Willie

I Couldn’t Pull Myself Away From Watching This - Howie’s Mad!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Earlier today I was watching some video footage
from my friend Howie Schwartz.

Howie showed how to go into possibly the most
competitive niche on the face of the planet…
and dominate!

I sat there thinking, “He’s a madman!”

I understand traffic generation. I’ve made a career
of studying, testing and tracking methods of
generating website traffic.

However, I can’t think of anyone who is better at
generating traffic than my mad friend Howie.

Check out: http://SageMarketer.com/MadMan/

I watched SEVEN videos of Howie teaching traffic
generation back-to-back. He’s that good.

Loving This New WordPress Blog Plug-In Already!

Friday, December 5th, 2008

John Taylor showed me a WordPress plug-in that automatically
looking at your blog posts for certain keywords, or keyword
phrases, and when it finds them automatically hyperlinks those
phrases to whatever url you want (ideally an affiliate url).

You can check it out at:
http://SageMarketer.com/AffiliatePlugIn/

It took me all of 3 minutes to download and unzip it, glance
at the readme file, upload it to my blog’s plug-in directory,
activate it, and store a dozen records.

The software actually went back through the past 4
YEARS posts and when it found my target keywords,
it turned them into hyperlinked text.

This is really, really powerful and a big timesaver.

Check out John’s site here, he has a short demo video
too: http://SageMarketer.com/AffiliatePlugIn/

Life gets easier every day for lazy affiliate marketers :-)

Chris Freville - Joint Venture, Web 2.0 & Affiliate Marketing Expert - Dec 5th 2pm CST

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

On Friday, December 5th, Chris Freville will be the guest on
my radio show at http://BlogTalkRadio.com/WillieCrawford/

We’ll be discussing landing lucrative joint ventures,
selling tons of clickbank products, breaking into
the inner circle, and tapping into the incredible
power of web 2.0.

Chris is uniquely qualified to teach us all of those
topics.

He started marketing online in 2005 to various niche
markets. Chris used to spend a fortune on Pay Per Click
advertising until he discovered Web 2.0 in 2007.

Chris then created his first product in the Internet
Marketing niche, Web 2.0 Stampede. Since then he has
steadily built his list and made a name for himself in
the IM niche.

Now, on his fourth product launch in 12 months, Chris
has built his own army of JV partners with some very
well known Internet marketers, that he can call his
own “Clickbank Inner Circle”.

Chris’ latest product can be found at:

Which Product Launch To Notice - Which To Ignore!

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Today is going to be a very busy day in the internet
marketing niche. Part of that is due to two HUGE
launches.

I AM an affiliate for both of those products, but other
than telling you that they are both “solid” products,
that WILL do all they promise, IF you use them, I don’t
want to add to the noise.

If you have ANY questions about ANY ongoing product
launch
, I probably know all of the behind-the-scenes
details. I’m invited in on many product launches
a month or two in advance. For example, I was invited
(as a guest) at the recent $10k Las Vegas seminar that
you undoubtedly have heard about.

I also often sift through the International Association
of Joint Venture Brokers
‘ database, and look at what’s
on the horizon that I haven’t been told about
previously.

The reason I do that is because ONE of the BIG secrets
to making more sales in many big affiliate product
launches is finding out about them early. The reason
that is significant is because Google often ranks older
pages higher. So if you get up a page promoting a
product FIRST, you’ll often make sales on launch day
just because those searching on the product name on
launch day will come across your listing.

If you want to ask a question about a specific launch,
just leave me a note at my helpdesk. Use the category,
“Personal For Willie” and I will get back to you as
soon as practical.

Google Conquest - Fewer Than 50 Copies Remaining!

Sunday, November 30th, 2008

I just got this note from Alex Goad, creator of
Google Conquest:

“It’s been a crazy couple of days…

We now have over 950 spots filled up and the last
ones are going quickly.

Training starts tomorrow and spots will likely be
full by Monday afternoon, so I wanted to give you
a heads up.

If you want it, the time is now…”

I wanted to pass that along to you because I had
several close friends tell me that they really, really
saw the value in Google Conquest.

By the way, I’ll be right there with you on Monday,
going through the training too. I’ve already used
the system, but want to make sure that I understand
ALL of its amazing capabilities.

I’ll be using this system not only to drive a lot
of traffic and sales to my own websites, but also
to drive a lot of traffic and sales to website of
offline consulting clients!

I also feel that I should only recommend a product
to you that I believe in enough to not only review,
but to actually use.

That IS how I feel about Google Conquest.

So, we’ll be on this journey together.

Grab one of the last remaining copies now at:
