Insider Tips to Successful Free Advertising



Contrary to what some may say, free advertising on the Internet is NOT a waste of time. Many Affiliates have successfully used free classified ad posting to build strong home businesses for themselves. Although it typically does take more of a time investment than other, more costly methods, when used effectively, free advertising can truly take your business to the next level!

If you've tried free advertising in the past and have not gotten the results you were looking for, it may simply be that you're just not going about it the right way. This guide discusses how you can effectively use this form of advertising to successfully build your home business, increase your sales, and raise your commission checks.

Before You Start With Free Ads

Before posting free ads, it's STRONGLY recommended that you set up an extra business e-mail address. Free classifieds are free for a reason: When you post ads, you will receive "confirmation e-mails" that your ads were posted. If you post to classified networks, you can receive hundreds of confirmation e-mails per day.

Simply set up a free Hotmail or Yahoo account to catch these emails. Then once a week, clean up your e-mail account by deleting all e-mails, so your inbox doesn't get full. In many cases, you must register and verify your business e-mail address before you can post your ad. Use the same password for all registrations so you easily can remember it.

Why You Should Post Your Ads On A Tuesday 12 Noon CST

Statistics are very important for a successful ad campaign. For example, you can use statistics to figure out when it's more likely that people will find your ad. First, let's take a look at some charts that display statistics collected from personal Websites:

Since I can't show you, I can tell you that the best times were Tuesday around midday.

This chart displays how traffic flow during the days of the week:

Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat



When you combine these statistics, you'll see that it's best to post an ad on a Tuesday, 12 noon CST, the day and time when most people you target are active on the Internet. You can also see that it's a waste of time to post an ad at 5 a.m. on a Saturday. By taking advantage of these facts, you can improve your results by 10 times or more.

Stay Focused!

Try to stay focused when you post ads. It's easy to get distracted by some advertising that says: "Post 2000 ads here!" or "This submit software posts to 500,000
