What masters of profit have perfectly mastered is to leverage outer resources. In the world of one-man-business it is especially nice to rush into the store full of free candies when you personally cannot afford to buy more than one of them. How? First, by discovering what type of candies you want, second, what kind of stores they can be found at and, last, where these stores are. Here is the partial list of ·candy stores· that I·m sure you can easily benefit from.
Auction/eBay Marketplace
Well-known store or marketplace full of buyers and sellers. You task comes down to either promoting and auctioning your stuff directly or locating ideal power-sellers for arranging lucrative deals as their back-end sales. Either way you benefit from the developed market and exposure of targeted bidders or established customer databases and reputation of power-sellers.
Big vendors and power-sellers have established auction businesses with thousands if not tens of thousands auctions closed with the respective list of subscribers, customers and repeat customers. Ask them to promote your product/service on the back-end as valuable complementary addition to the products they sell or up-sell your solutions through their web-pages or other means.
Offer free copies of your products to reassure vendors in its benefits as well as prepare information necessary for vendor to promote your solution to minimize their efforts and maximize their returns.
eBay of course is not the only auction in town, so you can successfully experiment with this strategy in other places online.
Indexes, Directories & Catalogues
Any accessible professionally organized list of websites, products, ezines, affiliate programs etc. is a valuable resource for respective visitors or buyers. It is clear that submitting your listing there allows you to attract extra market exposure for the item or resource you·ve listed. Depending on the type of catalogue or index you may want to make your listing to be like an ad more or less. Your end-target in most cases is to make people click the link and take your desired action, so approach your submissions as such.
The tastier you listing and its position are and the higher rank of the index, directory or catalogue is, the more exposure and benefit you gain. Want directions? Check out the DMOZ and Google directories. They will swamp you with dozens of relevant niche directories and valuable resources.
This is efficient marketing since, in most of cases, you submit your listing once and benefit ·forever·.
Joint Promotions
Joint promotions help you tap into the other people·s market and goodwill, monetizing their credibility and years of business development. You can participate in either tete-a-tete JV deals or partnerships with multiple parties.
In some cases the combined benefits from multipart promotions are higher than derived from a single affiliate, but it may vary from deal to deal. As you know, there are several ·super-guys·, who can open such a huge customer market to your solution during exclusive tete-a-tete JV deal that no other joint efforts of 5, 10 or even 30 webmasters have chances to compete with.
Your task is all about finding leaders of your niche market and arranging such joint promo deals with them. It many cases, but not necessary, you can locate B2B directories, what means memberships of niche businesses, so you can close deals almost in volumes, without organizing one-on-one JVs over and over again.
Membership sites, associations
We started to look into benefits of membership-based sites, where you can get instant access to systematized list of members or address to them via mass email. Not only does it help you save massive amounts of time, but also money that you otherwise would have had to spend for ads or other means to reach this market.
Here you gain almost similar exposure to showcase your products and services as with the help of super affiliates, close JV deals with respective site owners, promote your relevant publications or offer other type of useful material depending on the aim of the particular membership site. The same goes to Internet associations, where you can find your customers or potential partners in one place. In any case your task is to introduce your business to the members, gaining extra exposure and profits if term ·extra· can be relative to the profits.
You can easily find all types of membership websites depending on your target market by means of Search Engines. It may be useful tip for you: don·t to try to find membership sites first, but search for niche-targeted informational portals, so that you can find there the whole lists of such niche membership resources.
Publicity
Publicity is a great way of covering large customer market for relatively small input. Unlike advertising, publicity exposure is free, long-lasting and catchy.
Publications entice readers of different media to explore your business in more detail.
Often, one free-submitted tasty-written press release can do for you much more than ten super-expensive magazines ads. Publications and press releases will be seen by thousands of publishers, editors and targeted Internet readers what means gold alone. If it is going to be further re-published and announced or you happen to be interviewed by interested media your solutions will surely get thousands of dollars in free publicity. Such action bringing in long-term benefits is the smart marketing indeed. Use it to make more sales.
There is a simple logic line · if you experience shortage of time and money, you need results and you need them fast. You can be sure such ·stores· are almost the perfect places of fast profits you can ever find. Why spend months of SEO, waiting in vain the day when your traffic finally starts buying, when you can access established online ·stores· full of ready-to-buy customers or ready-to-do-business marketers.
Direct your marketing efforts towards attracting massive exposure to your solutions via these ·stores· like all the major players do (if you were smart enough to notice this) and stop wasting your time reading hundreds of all these ·I-want-to-help-you-email-sales-pitches· you get daily. Spend your time on real results and information that show you how to get these results, rather than on reading email solo ads and buying never-to-be-used products.
