INTERNET MARKETING

Hi Warriors,

In need of help here... AGAIN

I'm a newbie still and I just got done doing my auto responder sequence, but I have no list to promote it to. Now as things stand I have no more funds so I need either a place where I can do ad swaps for free, or some way to drive mass targeted traffic to my opt-in page for free.

Any ideas at all will be more than welcome,

Thanks again Warriors,

Jamie D

Ad swaps won't work, because you have nothing to offer.

I would create a free report that will appeal to your target audience, and then give away the report to anyone who registers for your mailing list.

I have page that offer an MRR pdf in exchange for opt-in, but I need people to view the page.
I know I have no list to offer a reciprocal mailing for but I was thinking of offering it after having built my list, by lining up 3 or 4 swaps, not sure if that would work, but it's just I need to find a free ad swap site that I can test it on.

Thanks tpw

What you need to do is buy some solo ads to test your lead capture page and get subscribers to your list. To do an ad swap you need to have a list to swap with. With no list you have no chance.

Just do a couple of solo ads and build up a list. You can do ad swaps with as little as 100 subscriber lists.

  You can try out a free solo ad through
  
  Ezine Advertising: Free Solo Ads (not an affiliate link)
  
  I have used it from time to time for testing out new ideas.
  
  You can send your ad to up to 5,000 by building up "credits" through viewing other members' solo ads.
  
  It's free to try and they also have paid ad options.

  Actually, I often have gotten a 2-3% conversion rate (100-150). He also offers his super duper Ultimate Advertising Package (at the bottom of the website) where they will design your ad and send it out to 500,000+ or so. That's been converting at around 23-27% with some very targeted niches.

  Might want to make a video series on how to do something in your niche market to get more optin's. Also put a price on what your giving away for free to create high value!

  I would do videos with the squeeze page URL in white text at the end of it to draw traffic to it and the other thing I would do is articles with backlinks to your opt in.
  
  Keep doing those two things for for awhile. You should be able to build up a list of at least several hundred in about three months.
  
  After that, I would do solo ads first to even build up more subscribers and lastly, then go for the ad swap.
  
  That would be my recommendations (in that order) if you are starting from scratch with no subsribers.
  
  Other than the solo ads, which does cost you money, the previous items I mentioned are free such as making your own video, uploading to youtube (free), and writing and submitting articles (free too).
  
  Hope that helps!
