      Personally, Youtube and forum marketing has brought me greatest sucess. But do not count out article marketing as well

    as in pay per click? The reason I made this thread is because I am starting a turnkey business in a couple weeks. I would like to know what marketing techniques work the best. To start it off, I will be using youtube, press releases and ibuzzpro. After I establish those, I will be looking into pay per click, social networking and others if I hear they work nicely. Thanks!

There is a lot to learn any way you go and here is a good place to start. Read a lot, take a nap, then read some more....


        its quite impossible not to make money with payperclick at this time.my returns on ppc(adwords),is about 5 times the cost per month,ppc(facebook) is about 8-12 times,and of course other hidden ppc goldmines(lol)...

      yup,tom speaks the truth,its good to be wary but not cynical.there are millionaires who sell small things at large quantities.

      i have a good friend in this forum who made his first million doing plr all day,another who sells low ticket items(5-6 figure launches) on clickbank all day and yet another who sells memory cards and wires on ebay in huge quantities and makes millions all day.

    Personally, I LOVE Radio & TV...in that order.

    Yes I am a radio and TV guy, but whenever I have a guest on my show I always check with them to see what kind of traffic/sales/response/ they got from their appearance and it is always huge!

    All of the methods mentioned above work IF they are done correctly. I tried many methods of making money online (for years) and I could not make anything work until I got into article marketing. That helped me learn the basics of all online marketing. After I learned how to make money with article marketing everything else began to work for me. Article marketing is a great starting point, but learn how to do it right.

      Hey John, article marketing seems to be the favorite. Would you be able to spare me any information or any advice on how you do it or how you make it work?..what tools you use if any to make it easier? Thanks.

        The best thing that's worked for me so far has been partnerships. I've done my best to connect with other people. In some cases, I've even purchased their products first. Then, I send them a personal email asking if they would be interested in receiving a free copy of my product and consider partnering with me.

        It's worked for me.

        Sure, you can check out the free 21 page ebook in my sig file below (The "Where Do I Start" report). It will help get you on the right track. I wrote it from what I've learned after making hundreds of mistakes.

    To the OP -

    Consider that you are asking a premature question. Wanting to know which marketing tactic is "best" is like asking which tool is best to fix a broken car engine.

    Without diagnosing exactly where you are headed, looking at tactics will do you no good.

    Once you've defined a specific business approach and business model, you can then look at which tactics will best serve that model.

    Hi Ken, yea I do understand it's a very vague and basic question. I just wanted to get a feel for what people like to use or what works best overall for them. I know you can go very far in depth with just one way.

    I have found that good old fashioned "grass-roots" marketing techniques still work great. Things like drop cards, lawn-signs, flyers on the car windshield, running classifieds in your local paper, etc. Plus some of these strategies allow you to get some sunshine!

    Of all of these, I've found plain old drop cards (business cards) are the best. You can go to Vista Prints on line, and take advantage of their free business card deals they have. You can put your particular marketing blurb right on the card at their site. And its all free, though you still have to pay shipping, but it works great!

    Good luck!
