Hi. I´m currently promoting a free offer from one of the affiliate programs I´ve joined (sorry can´t reveal which one it is)

Does anyone here have some ideas about the best way to promote it? It´s a very good offer and I know that anyone who is interested in the product would avail of it, if they knew it was on offer.

What´s the best way to get the message out?

I remember reading from way back about one person using classified ads with the mass control method in mind, but can´t remember how he did it.

Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks a lot for your replies.

        ^^ But seriously - make sure it is a good offer. if you send somthing crap out, they won't want to send it out to others, so make what your sending to them good.

          Yes. I´m pretty sure this is a good one. So what method do you think is the best?

          a. Do posting in classified ads work?
          b. Should I go the usual route of setting up a squidoo lens, weebly, google pages, articles...the like?

    OK here's the best way to make your free offer go viral...

    share it with the warez/torrent sites... claim it is worth $1997, and let the underworld share it for you...

      Oohhh. Good idea. but it´s a physical product. so can´t get the underworld to do it for me, i´m afraid.

    This is one perfect example of being selfish. If you are not going to reveal what offer you are promoting, how will people be wiling to help you with heart? As a rule of thumb, in order to recieve, you must give. UNLESS that niche was like super secret, then yes it is understanble or otherwise if this is very general, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't reveal it out and thus, if you reveal it out would even benefit you as every niche would have different ways to promote it effectively.

    Get smart

    Cheers

      ahhh! lol, its ok if they don't want to reveal it, everyone has their preferences.
      You can receive good information by also Providing good information in other posts (get information and provide it when you can too)
      -But thats different to revealing your niches- if you wish to keep it private you can do, but you might find less responses as you have not revealed it - so it works both ways - Not taking sides

      Here - I'll takes sides. This is total hogwash. If you think that the only way to get help around here is to start revealing your niches, then you won't be hanging around here long, because that won't happen. Furthermore, I really don't see anyone revealing their niche to get help from someone making their first post here and demanding this.

      Get smart? That wouldn't be smart, that would total stupidity. :rolleyes:

        Hi Ptone,
