    So all these people here and I can get one person to offer me some friendly advice. I thought this place was about helping one another succeed in this business. Well I must be wrong, I guess it's everyone for themselves here. It's cool, I will succeed at this. With or without help.

      I don't think that it is that people are being rude, but that there is a ton of information on here already. If you do a quick scan in some of the folders you will find a tons of descriptions of ways to make money without spending money. You could also for example do a search on bum marketing, but whihc method you choose will also be a matter of personal preference. Good luck.

    Bum Marketing is definitely a system that works - it's pretty labor intensive, but that's the way it's going to be when you don't have a budget to outsource your work.

    One thing that's really great is to do good keyword research, find some low comp keywords and publish on hub pages. Make sure you sign up for adsense and configure your hub pages account to give you revenue from AS. This takes some time, and won't get you rich overnight, but it's a really great way to add a consistent revenue stream. I make it a thing to add at least one hub a day. Once you've got 20 - 30, you're going to be making a couple bucks a day from AS. If you do this for a year, you'll have a real passive stream of income.

    I strongly recommend you do some Article Marketing. Write good quality Original Content articles and post them on EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com. This will bring you good targeted traffic. Hope this helps.

    Free methods......

    I would say first and foremost you need to get your name out there! And by out there I mean the internet. It will be hard to market something when you have no information about yourself on the internet for people to research. You can do this by social media (Twitter,Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Squidoo, Better Networker, Youtube, and others). Forums are a great way to build a presence like the one your are being involved in now. Word of mouth to family, friends, coworkers, etc is an excellent way to start a buzz about you and your product. I have had good results will free classifieds sites. You can even go with Craigslist or Ebay for these types of things.

    There are so many different ways to market for free. When I started in the industry I was told over and over again to get my feet wet in the free stuff first and I would not lose so much money later. They were right. I wanted to dive in but we have to follow the ones before us and do what they say if they legitimately want to help.

    Good luck and if I can be of any help please let me know.

    I know you're not going to like hearing this, but building a business on the internet takes time and effort, especially if you're using free methods.

    What I'd suggest you do in getting started is offer services so that you can make some quick initial money, and of course this'd be dependent on the skills and knowledge that you presently possess, and this can include article writing, blog setup, backlinking, graphics/banners, etc.

    Set aside some time to learn and implement internet marketing (as a business) while you're freelancing and providing services, and as you find out more, implement what you learn and also reinvest some of the money you earned from freelancing into your internet marketing. It's a gradual progression, but it'll build up like a snowball if you put consistent effort into building your internet marketing business using the long-term approach.

    There are many ways to market and promote your opportunity on the Internet for free. However, with that said, they aren't all for everyone. Find one that is appealing and that you think you can do. Then master it. Most new marketers will try just about everything and quit because of information overload. Take it one step at a time.

    Here are 5 free methods for advertising:

    1- Article Writing
    2- Blogging
    3- Press Releases
    4- Free Classified Ads
    5- Video Advertising like youtube.com

      Well for starters, your question runs very counter to the link in your signature. (I don't think the traffics gonna come rolling in if you're asking how to do internet marketing etc but you're......promoting how to do internet marketing)

      Secondly, since you asked a very general question you got very general answers. What exactly is it that you want to market? What is your own personal area of interest? Ask a more detailed question and you will surely get more detailed answers. People told you to try article marketing. Everybody knows that, but what exactly does that mean? There's a hundred ways from Sunday to do article marketing, so you're still left without concrete answers.

      More detail my friend, and use the search button. Just don't over think it.

    The number one thing you can do is to spend some time going through this Forum.
    You will find golden nuggets of valuable information right here.

    Here is my advice to anyone who is looking to get into Internet Marketing for free.

    Listen to paulie888: It takes time and effort. In other word you need to do some work.


    1) Pick a topic that you know (You can always branch into other niches later)
    2) Write 10 good solid articles with valuable information. (To me this is the critical first step>> You need to be able to offer something of value)
    3) Get a g mail account
    4) Set up a blogger blog (It's free and you need your gmail account to set it up)
    5) Post the articles to your blogger account, one each day.
    6) Sign up to be an Amazon Affiliate (Its free and totally integrated to Blogger)
    7) Sign up for an Adsense Account (It's free and totally integrated to Blogger)
    8) Go back to your posts and insert some links and products from amazon and adsense.
    9) Continue to add content to your blog.
    10) Use your content as ezine article submissions, YouTube Videos, twitter, facebook fan page, etc.
    11) Start commenting on other blogs, in forums and get some links to your blog.

    If you do that, you will see some results. Remember, though you need to work at it.

    When you want to take a break: Drive to Mohegan Sun and Get a Pepe's Pizza!
    I recommend The Clam!
    (That's why I'm pizzatherapy!)

    And don't forget to keep coming back to the Warrior Forum...

    I hope this helps...
