When most people think about using an online forum to advertise their website, they think about how hosting a forum on their domain would allow them to market products to everyone who became a member. The downside of this is that it can be a painstaking task building up a forum’s membership and very time consuming to maintain an active forum.

There are other ways to use forums to advertise your online business or service. It is usually easier and more fun to use other people’s forums to do this type of marketing. From passively marketing your forum through link in your signature (which most forums allow) to actively offering services for sale, there are many ways to accomplish this too. There is some good information on how to use online forums to market your website over at forum-sites.com, and if you have a forum already you can list it in their forum directory for free.

A quick note about an affordable source for buying lifetime links that we just came across.  The site is:  PageHook, and for $1 you can post a link to your site that will stay up forever (well, forever in internet terms… should be a long time).  It’s true that in-content or relevant links would help your site out more than sites like these, but all links help some… and these are only a buck, forever!

Getting listed in as many quality online directories is yet another way of getting the word out about your website or business. The key word there is “quality”. It is more valuable (both financially and when it comes to your time) to submit your site to established directories that have been around for a long time.

Site Sift is an example of a high quality directory that you can submit your website to. The Site Sift directory is an older more established directory with high page rank and a great number of backlinks. All these things add up to your link being given more credibility and being seen by a greater number of people.

The nice thing about a place like Site Sift is that they offer more than just directory listings. They also let you download a directory script for free so you can start and run your own online directory, it’s a pretty simple installation too. There is also a forum there where you can discuss SEO, Web Design, Web Programming and more with other people in your field. Getting the help you need on your internet related projects is a big bonus.

When promoting your online business or website, remember it’s more than just the quantity of links you have… it’s the quality.

We have been meaning to compile a list of article submission sites for quite some time but have not been able to find the time to do it justice. Here is a nice list of article submission sites from recommendables.com.

Free Internet Marketing Education
By Dionisio Gomez

Education is the key to any business success. You will definitely need to spend some time each day for your education. There are many ways that you can learn whatever you need to. You just want to make sure that you don’t waste your money or your time trying to further your education. You may have to buy a product such as an eBook or software to help you learn what you need. You want to make sure that you are selective about what you buy though.

There are so many things out there that will promise you that you will learn certain things so you end up buying it only to find out that it is fluff filled and didn’t teach you a thing. So make sure you take the time to find out as much as you can about any product you have to buy before you spend your money on it. Here are some ways that you can further your education to help you with your internet marketing business.

Forums:
This is a great way to learn that is usually free. Some forums you will have to pay a membership fee for. However, most of the time you will be able to join a forum without having to pay for it. You can go to any search engine and type in internet marketing + forums. This will give you a whole list of them that you can join. Forums are a great way for you to learn. There are many people involved that will know the information you need. You will need to search the forum to find out if the question you have has already been asked. When it has not been then you will just need to ask your question and wait for someone to answer it. When you do get involved in forums you want to make sure that you make a worthwhile contribution to any forum you are a member of. So don’t just ask questions, get involved and answer other people’s questions if you know the answer they are looking for. Forums can be a great support system for any business owner. Some great forums for you to get started with are:
- warriorforum (This is where a lot of successful internet marketing business owners hang out.)
- internetmarketingforums (This forum is great for anyone that is just starting their internet marketing business or for advanced internet marketers)

Articles:
This is a great way to learn what you need to know. There are so many article directories that you can find articles at. You can go to any search engine and type in article directories or internet marketing + article directories. These articles are all free for you to look at. There will be a lot of different articles written by different people so you may need to read more than one article in order to find the answer that you are looking for. Articles are great because they are written about something that is happening now as opposed to things that have happened in the past. Some of the more popular articles directories to help you get started are:
- ezinearticles (This article directory is one of the most popular ones online)
- articledashboard (This is another popular article directory that a lot of people use)

Newsletters or Ezines:
You can find a newsletter or ezine that has to do with internet marketing. People who send these out will keep you informed about different things that are happening or changing. They will also give you free information that will help you learn something new that can benefit your business. You don’t want to join more than four of them or you will be so overwhelmed that you will not be able to read what is sent to you.

You now have a ton of resources for learning about Internet Marketing & Business without spending a red cent!

Internet Marketing Tips - Stretching Your Advertising Dollar
By Steven Wagenheim

Let’s be honest here. It doesn’t matter how great your product or service is. If nobody knows it exists, you’re not going to make any sales. Well, getting people to know that you’re out there comes down to one thing and it’s called advertising. I know it’s a dirty word, especially for people who don’t have much of an advertising budget, but it is crucial to success. Without it, you might as well just go back to working a nine to five. Fortunately, there are many ways to stretch your advertising dollar without stretching your wallet too much. This article is going to cover a few of those ways.

The best way to stretch your advertising dollar is to stay away from Google Adwords until you know exactly what you’re doing. Adwords is a very effective form of advertising but can also be very expensive. For example, many marketers don’t know to turn off the ads for content pages. Why would you want to do this? Because content pages are notorious for getting clicks that don’t convert to sales. This is wasted money. And this is just one part of Adwords that you need to be aware of. So until you are an Adwords expert, stay away.

Okay, so if Adwords is out, what’s in? What’s a cost effective form of advertising that actually works? Well, one of the best is through article submissions to directories. The cost is nothing more than your time. There are many article directories out there that you can submit to. Or you can submit your articles directly to an authority site. Many of these sites are hungry for content because they know that content is what makes the Internet function. A 400 word article can be written in less than 30 minutes and won’t cost you a cent.

Another great way to stretch your advertising dollar is through forum participation. While you can’t directly promote in most forums, by establishing a presence, people will get to know you, get to trust you and eventually buy some of your products. I have been making a very nice income just from hanging out at forums for years now. It works very well.

Okay, but what if you actually want to spend a few bucks? What’s some great advertising that costs money outside of Adwords and doesn’t cost a fortune? The answer is solo ezine ads. The trick is to find an ezine that has a large membership and is targeted to the niche you’re in. In many cases, a $20 solo ad can bring in 10 to 20 sales. I’ve been using select solo ads for years with some great results. You just have to search carefully for the gems. And trust me, they’re out there.

The point is, you don’t have to spend a fortune to make money online. My monthly advertising budget is about $200 and from that I earn five figures every month.

Not a bad return, wouldn’t you say?

To YOUR Success,

For those of you that are interested in vintage autos, trucks, and other vehicles; Jeff Lilly Restorations has hit the web with a great site. Tons of great car information and some beautiful photos of cars they’ve restored (like their totally unbelievable Corvette Restoration). They’re slogan is “We Build Trend Setting Street Rods”, and one look in their gallery proves it. They have other great features on their site like pictorial tours of their shops, information on shipping, and even past articles written about Jeff Lilly Restorations in major automobile publications. A very effective website built for their needs, other sites could take note of that.

We’ve just come across a somewhat new website with a new way of advertising. The site is called AdSpheres and allows you to purchase a “sphere” which will link to your site.  Your sphere can become more valuable and carry more linking weight based on actions you take.  It appears that referring others to AdSphere and even just logging into your account once a day can earn you credits and increase the value of your sphere.  It also looks like once you build the value of your sphere up you may be able to sell it to someone else.  It’s worth a look, a really nice new online advertising opportunity.
