Every day I connect with dozens of network marketers online, most of them still struggling to achieve the success they desire.

One of the biggest questions I get asked is…

“I’m trying to get my business off the ground, but I’m on a very limited budget. I need to make money fast. What are the best low cost marketing strategies?”

My answer to them is…

If you are on a limited budget, you will have to approach your business from a slightly different perspective…but its very doable.

One of the worst things you could do is go out and spend every last dollar you have on buying leads, PPC campaigns, postcards, banners, or co-ops.

And yet, that is what many of you do.

Makes no sense.

You see… spending your last dime on advertising campaigns is the biggest mistake you could make. Why?

Because if you spend your $500 on leads, PPC, fliers, business cards, or a postcard campaign, you might get a few prospects, but if you don’t sponsor any of them, you’re back to square one. There’s no way to LEVERAGE the results.

Once you’ve called through your leads, it’s game over!

You need more leads!

And now you’re forced to spend more money to keep this endless cycle going. It’s like trying to build a business “from pay-check to pay-check”, and very few will ever come out ahead before they’re financially forced to call it quits.

And that is one reason for the 90% who quit within their first 90 days.

So what should you do?

What you want to do is invest your funds into “high leverage” skills and simple activities, which you can use over and over again to quickly and easily produce more leads any time you want… for FR*EE.

And that’s become very easy to do thanks to some BIG changes which have taken place in the online world recently…

If you were going to market online in the past, you had to be a certified search engine expert, or a wizard at pay-per-click with deep pockets full of cash in order to get enough traffic.

Well thanks to new Web 2.0 sites we have today like FaceBook, YouTube, CraigsList, and Ebay, you don’t have to spend big bucks, to tap into this massive flood of FR*EE traffic…

I mean why pay for leads and advertising when you can get them for free?

And the best part is that you don’t even need to be a computer expert to start using these simple tactics TODAY…

Well we’ve really covered a lot in the last 2 weeks.

Today I want to share with you one more marketing strategy.

I saved this one for last, for a couple of reasons.

• It is by far the most powerful.
• It is by far the most complicated.
• It is by far the most dangerous.

Now with that being said… it is also one of our all time favorites.

In fact, I would say about 90% of the top marketers on the internet ALL use and recommend this strategy.

It is a cornerstone of online marketing and YOU deserve to learn and implement this strategy too!

BUT be warned… PPC (Pay-Per-Click) advertising is an ADVANCED strategy and NOT for the week or timid.

You must have time, determination and MONEY.

The learning curve is steep…and you should EXPECT to spend a few hundred if not a couple thousand dollars on PPC just to start learning it.

If you are going to embark on this strategy, I would recommend that you already have a couple strategies working for you that are bringing in some steady traffic, leads and cashflow.

You will need to devote a few months to learning and mastering this strategy.

Don’t even think about starting with PPC until you at the very least, you’ve taken some sort of training.

Now I hope I didn’t scare you too much, because I also want you to know how powerful this strategy is.

Remember, MOST Top Producers use PayPerClick.

Anybody CAN learn it… if you are persistent and determined…and the payoff is HUGE!

You know there’s only one regret I have about my business on the internet.

I really wish I would have started writing articles and posting my content online way back when I first started marketing.

You know I love paid marketing strategies like EZINE ADVERTISING and Pay-Per-Click Advertising, but the problem with all those strategies is that if you STOP paying for the ads… your traffic STOPS.

But… how would you like to put out an “advertisement” ONCE and get traffic from that ONE “advertisement” for years to come?

THAT is the incredible power and leverage of CONTENT MARKETING or “article marketing”.

You see when you create an article, a blog post, a squidoo lens, or any other piece of content online, including videos and forum posts…

… that little piece of content STAYS online FOREVER!

THIS IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL!

This content can potentially bring you traffic on an ongoing basis for years and years to come.

Its like having your own piece of real estate on the internet. And there’s no limit to how much real estate you can create.

Think about this…

If you create 10 articles and submit these articles to just the 6 article directories we recommend in our TRAINING CENTER…you would have 60 little pieces of content out on the internet.

Each one of them with a link back to your main website.

Its like 60 little fishing hooks out in the water ready to catch a bite!

Now lets say each of these articles, on average brings you just 5 visitors per month. That would be 30 visitors to your website each and every month.

Doesn’t sound like very much does it?

But wait.. because this is sort of like building residual income, but with traffic.

Now imagine this…

You actually get serious… and you decide that you will create just 1 article each day.

1 article each day…at the end of 90 days, you would have 90 articles. Incredible what a little CONSISTENCY can do, no?

So you have 90 articles and you submit them to those 6 article directories.

Holly Recommends Instant Article Wizard!

You now have 540 little fishing hooks out on the internet each one with your website link.

Now assuming we get a measly 5 visits from each article, each month (and this is a very low number) this simple strategy of creating content would bring you….

2700 VISITORS to your website EACH and EVERY MONTH!!

If you’re website converts around 20% from visits to leads, which ours do, that would create roughly 540 FREE LEADS for your business EVERY MONTH!!

All absolutely FREE!!

Not sure if I can make it any clearer for you

Imagine if you kept this up for a whole year?

What are you waiting for?

When I asked several of my online mentors what marketing strategy they started out with as a newbie in the industry, I was surprised by how many of them told me that it was FORUM Marketing where they began to find success!

This was an incredible lesson, because I think too many networkers really over-look this powerful strategy to generating leads and building your business.

And I think most newbies that get on Forums do it ALL wrong.

There is definitely a technique to using FORUM Marketing successfully in your marketing campaigns. Don’t spam in the forums. Make connections, provide value!

And once again it comes down to understanding and applying ATTRACTION MARKETING.

I highly recommend you consider using FORUM MARKETING in your overall marketing plan.

Get out there and start making connections in the industry and meeting your future leaders!

Okay, today’s strategy has to be one of the easiest ones, and it’s perfect for newbies and/or those who have little or no technical skills.

I think most people are aware of the hundreds of FREE CLASSIFIED ad websites on the internet.

Many network marketers start out by posting FREE CLASSIFIED ads on many of these sites.

Some have gone on to really master this technique and can generate THOUSANDS of dollars in income just by placing simple FREE Classified ads online.

DO NOT ignore this simple strategy.

YOU WILL get results BUT you MUST be consistent.

THE SECRET again is MASSIVE ACTION!!

Don’t just put out 10 ads and expect any results.

You need to have a plan to post 10, 20, 50 ads every day on multiple sites on a consistent basis. This shouldn’t take more than 30-60 minutes each day.

You also need to focus on only the most popular, highly-trafficked websites with your TARGET MARKET.

Take MASSIVE ACTION my friend!

There’s really no excuses when its this easy!

How would you like to have a list of 10,000, 20,000, maybe even 50,000 hot prospects that you could send an email promotion to by the end of this week?

Sound pretty cool?

DO you think you might get some traffic from that?

Maybe a few subscribers?

You bet!

This is the POWER of Ezine Advertising, also referred to as SOLO AD marketing.

In case you don’t know what an Ezine is, it’s simply an online newsletter. Basically it is somebody who has already built a list of subscribers and sends those subscribers regular emails with valuable content.

That’s what we’re in the process of building right now.

But since we don’t have 10,000 subscribers yet, what we can do to build our  list, is USE SOMEONE ELSE’S!! It’s as though you have a 24-7 marketing team  working for you.

There are thousands of website owners who have built massive lists of subscribers, AND they are willing to let you send an email to those subscribers, promoting what you have to offer.

You can BUILD YOUR LIST by leveraging their existing list.

Ezine Advertising is one of the favorite Marketing Strategies of MANY TOP Producers.

Now.. there’s a few things you NEED to know before spending any money on Ezine Advertising.

REMEMBER: Not ALL Lists are created equal!

1. Look for good quality websites and content…Subscribe to the ezine and make sure the content is good.

2. The only ads worth running are SOLO ADS.

3. Keep it SHORT and ENTICING.

4. TEST, TEST, TEST and stay CONSISTENT.

5. TRACK YOUR RESULTS.

6. Hold on to the WINNERS

Okay today’s marketing strategy is super easy…you’re going to love this one.

When I first heard about these List Builder programs I totally just blew them  off and put them into the same category as those ridiculous “Guaranteed Traffic” offers and safe lists.

It wasn’t until I watched a video from a leader in the industry showing her results from using these List Builders that I stopped to take a second look.

List Building Made Easy

I remember when I used to think building a list was hard.

Using these List Builders is super easy and only takes a few minutes every 3 days!

Okay… my next blog post will cover a really powerful strategy used by many top producers…and this one is completely over-looked by 95% of network marketers.
