THE SECRET OF CREATING A FLOOD OF
PROSPECTS USING FREE CLASSIFIEDS
When you
first begin to advertise it may seem like you aren't accomplishing
very much. It's easy to get discouraged early on with the
results you are getting. Afterall, you were really expecting to get a flood of
requests for more information.
Instead you got little or
nothing for all your efforts.
We've been there, along with most everyone else who has been online for any
time at all. This is where 90% of all websites fail. But you don't have to be
one of them because now you have the secret to successful advertising right in front of you.
That secret is consistency! You have
to keep advertising and pushing with absolute consistency, week in
and week out without letting up. All you need, my friend, is a
system! And I'm going to help you build that system.
Think of your advertising this way. You want it to build like running water against a dam!
The momentum builds and any crack in the dam lets the water out from a
trickle... to a flood. You have to keep going until the crack appears,
then keep pushing until the trickle turns to... a flood.
Don't expect this water to start moving on its own, it needs persistant
pushing to build up the necessary pressure. By following the system
I am going to detail to you, consistently each and every day, Monday
through Friday, you will break the dam... and receive your flood.
Free Classifieds
receive Millions of hits a day, yes I said millions of
hits each and every day of the week. That's more
hits than most websites receive all year. There has to be a way to
tap into that traffic and we're going to show you how!
There are literally tens of thousands of ads
being posted to free classified
websites every day. Some allow your
ad to remain posted for 30 days or more, others 14 days and the remainder 7
days, the problem is that new postings are coming in every minute
and your post can quickly be pushed down the page towards the
bottom or onto the next page in a matter of a couple of hours on
average. So your window of opportunity may only be two to three
hours.
But I'm going to teach you how to make the best of this
situation and achieve the maximum exposure for only a few minutes work
each day. This system can and will produce between 200 and 300 hits a week
on your opportunity. That depends on you and how you use it.
Are you ready to learn?
Step 1. Open Five (5) free email accounts
(Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, or some other free email supplier.
You can even use you own website if you prefer, to create these accounts.)
using variations of the same username like:
myusername1@freemail.com
myusername2@freemail.com
myusername3@freemail.com
myusername4@freemail.com
myusername5@freemail.com
Step 2. Determine what ads and headlines
you want to post to the
Free Classified ad sites!
Do not under any circumstances rush this, take your time to think it
through, this is the most important part of your advertising, choose
your headlines with care and attention to detail. If you have
not read anything about how to make a good headline, find a good
ebook and read it from cover to cover.
A good headline has to turn a glimpse into a full blown stare!
You have to stop the reader in his or her tracks.
(a)Change the Headline:
Many advertisers use the same adverts in all 10 posts and just
change the headline for each one. Using this method you can see which
headline pulls the best!
So take your time to develop a very
strong headline. Ask yourself, would I respond to this headline? Just
submitting your ad does not guarantee you any hits, you must take
the time to develop a strong headline for every ad you use.
(b) Change the category:
You can post the very same ad in ten different categories
and sub-categories. By doing this, you can reach people in ten
different topics of interest. Different categories mean different
people, which means more eyes viewing your ad.
(c) Change your content:
You can change your advertising to highlight ten different products or opportunities.
Keep this in mind: The most important part of any ad... from the readers point of view is...
"Whats in it for me?"
They don't really care if you have the largest downline club in the history of MLM,
they want to know "what will I get out of it?"
SO TELL THEM!
Communicate in a language that they understand! Don't tell them that you have the
fastest Gizmo in the world. Tell them how it will save them valuable
time that they can use on more important things in life.
If you are going to compel people to read your ad, you have to speak in
a language that they understand. You have to answer that one burning
question that's on every person's mind. And that is?
"WHATS IN IT FOR ME"
So stress the different benefits! In one ad, stress how it will save time. In
another ad, stress how it will save money. And in yet another ad, how
it will improve their lives. In another...well, I think you should understand by now.
Different benefits appeal to different people. One man's
meat is another man's poison, etc. And we want them all to respond
don't we? So change the benefits and stress them all.
Another variation is to target different audiences. Instead of posting to
related categories, post to different unrelated categories, while
stressing the benefits to each targeted group.
(d)
Change your product: Although this does
not apply to all opportunities being offered, it is stated here for completeness.
You can post ten different ads for 10 different products and services.
So what should you do? different headlines same
ad? target your audience? different products?
Well, the fact is, you can do them all...
Step 3.
Get the maximum exposure from
Free Classified ads.
Before you post your ads there are some things you need
to know about how the free classified
ads operate in order to make the most of your advertising.
1.
Most (but not all) free classified
ad sites allow up to ten ads per account, so you should use all ten that are allotted to you.
We are going to tune things a bit and use five different accounts so
as to give you a total of 50 ads per week to get you started. That's 50 ads on one website!
2.
On some free classified
sites its takes about 24 hours for your ads to make it online after you post them.
3.
That means that these classified ads only
pull for a couple of hours after they appear! Why? because there are
many hundreds of people posting their ads too. Each time a new ad
appears it pushes yours toward the bottom of the page. After a couple
of hours your ad will drop off the page or go to the next
page, where it will not pull very much at all. You only have a two
to four hour window for exposure on these sites.
4. Sometimes your ad may
be rejected if you post the same ad with the same headline in the
same catagory, so, mix it up.
Step 4.
Post your ads to the Free Classifieds sites.
You have written killer headlines, and ads that ooze with
benefits, now what you need is a system; so here is a five day
system for success using the Free Classifieds.
It is recommended that you use this system, Monday through Friday for best
results. Day one being Monday, and day five being Friday. The first time
you use this system it will take about 10 to 15 minutes each day,
because you will be setting up new accounts, etc.
After the first week, you will have everything more organized and it will only
take 5 to 7 minutes to complete.
OKay...with that said... here we go with the system:

around with it and see what works best. You will, after time, get a
feel for what works best for you. So in just a few weeks of posting,
you can use day five to do what works best.
A quick review of what happens.
Day 1. You post your first set of ads using account number 1.
Day 2.
You post your second set of ads using account number 2. The ads from
day 1 are now beginning to generate hits.
Remember it takes 24 hours before some are seen.
Day 3. You post your third set
of ads using account number 3. The ads from day 1 have fallen off of
the main page and are no longer receiving much attention, however
the ads from day 2 have now been placed online and are at the top of
the main page and receiving attention.
Day 4. You post
your fourth set of ads using account number 4. The ads from day 2
have now fallen off the main page, but the ads from day 3 are now
being shown.
Day 5. You post your fifth set of ads
using account number 5. The ads from day 3 have fallen off the main
page, but the ads from day 4 are now showing and receiving
attention. Day 5 ads will be shown on Saturday.
SaturdayA good time to write some new ads or review new products.
Sunday is the day of rest.
Most of the hard work has now been done,
it only remains to update these ads as follows.
Step 5. Update your ads.
By this time of the following week
(Day 1 of Week 2) your adverting flood should just be moving a
little, don't expect this trickle to turn into a flood just yet.
Just keep it going.
On day one of week two you begin the
process over again, but this time its much easier as all the ground
work has been done and it only takes about five minutes to update
each ad, thereby keeping the pressure on the dam beginning to turn
the trickle into a stream... then a flood.
Here's how you do it.
Go to Free Ad Posting Directory
(a) Login at your favorite classified ad site using email account number one.
(b) Click on the "Classified ad" link.
(c) Select "My ads" the ads that you posted on day one will appear.
(d) Click individually on each one in "Edit Ad" the original ad will come up.
(e) Make the change. Make it something simple, you can
change a punctuation like a full stop to an exclamation mark or
something simple like that, just something that will change the ad
slightly will suffice.
(f) Click "Submit". A screen will
pop up notifying you of the change, then if you click on "My ads" at
the top again you will see the ad with todays date as the posting
date, BINGO! your ad goes back to the top of the listings.
(g) Simply repeat this each day using a
different account each day, on day one use account number 1, on day
two use account number two, etc., updating each account each day.
Then it's just a matter of doing this for 5 to 7 minutes
a day five days a week. Soon the trickle will turn into a stream, a
river... then a flood. The key is to keep it going.
If you find after a couple of weeks that your advertising efforts are not
pulling very much, then there is a problem with the headlines or
your ads. In that case you will have to study them and study
advertising material so you can learn how to produce good headlines and
ads.
If this system is followed to the letter... and the
headlines and ads are doing their job of creating Attention,
Desire, Interest and Action, (ADIA) then you
will receive your flood of enquires.
(Once you get this system in place, you can return to the
Free Ad Posting Directory and repeat
this same procedure for another free classified site.) Remember: The key is to keep it going!
