Advertising is important if you want to promote your opinions or business, ensuring it is cost effective is vital. 
<br/><br/>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Cost effective advertsing</h2>
Advertising is important if you want to promote your opinions or business, ensuring it is cost effective is vital. 
<br/><br/>

<h3 class="normalbold">Advertising costs</h3>
The more cost effective your advertising is,
the more profits a business can make. When evaluating how cost effective a particular advertising strategy is, you need
you consider your time and the cost of the actual advertising and it's benefits (accociated profits).<br/><br/>Some advertising requires ongoing effort or resources,
typically time or money; while other advertising requires some initial setup and will then run automatically with very liitle or no 
additional effort.
<br/><br/>
In some cases things are not black and white; for some registering a website on a search engine is 
a one time event, while others will spend thousands a month on an ongoing search engine optimisation program. 
Search engine optimisation and 
registration via third parties costs money or if you do it yourself it takes up your time. 
<br/><br/>
The <a href="evmspvmp.php" target="_blank"><b>Enhanced Marketing 
System (EMS)</b></a> is a great way to market your website or blog for free, after the initial set up it will
run automatically, providing an progressively increasing stream of visitors.    
<br/>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Free advertising, is rarely FREE</h2>
In general there are serious disadvantages with most so called FREE advertising systems, there are exceptions like  
<b>Search engines</b>, the <b>Enhanced Marketing System (EMS)</b> and most <b>Directories</b>.<br/><br/>
Some of the key disadvantages of other so called FREE advertising include:
<ul>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Free for all (FFA) - will often result in thousands of emails per day into your inbox.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Free advertising sites - Often require frequent reposting.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Bulletin boards - Postings are only generally on the first page for a few hours / minutes.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Links - Most of these are not worth it, due to the time required to set them up and low benefits.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Exchange visitors (2 for 1) - The time it takes you to visit 2000 websites to get 1000 visitors to your website is not worth is.</h2></li>
</ul>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Text adverts and internet marketing</h2>
There are numerous places where you can place simple <b>free ads</b>; typically these include various free advertising 
websites, bulletin boards, advertising forums etc. 
<br/><br/>
In general your free advert will be competing with thousands or even millions 
of other advertisers. 
<br/><br/>
While these can be of benefit there is often a limited amount of space available to say what you would like to in simple text ads
and in general these will only be visible on the first page for a few hours. 
<br/><br/>
One of the key benefits of this type 
of <b>free advertising</b> for business promotion is to get people to visit your website where they can learn more.
<br/><br/>
The cost of <b>free advertising</b> is generally 
in the time spent posting and reposting these <b>free adverts</b>. Some sites will provide you with better results than others so it is 
worth experimenting a bit to find out what works for you.  


<h2 class="headingbluebold">Using a web page or blog for internet marketing</h2>
Firsly, plain text adverts are no match for a well formatted HTML formatted advert which can provide a more 
professional impression to your visitors and potential customers.
<br/><br/>
You can create simple HTML formatted documents on free websites and blogs.
<br/><br/>
For individuals, part time workers, small businesses and Small Medium Enterprises (SME) this 
may be sufficient to create a great advert. 
<br/><br/>
Most of the free web pages, that you can create on a free web site or blog, have limited formatting and other facilities 
and generally include additional information and advertising by the host, that can detract visitors from your primary 
objectives.
<br/><br/>
Having your own website, where you have full control is obviously the best option, and allows you to focus your content, on 
your opinions or business. 
<br/><br/>
If you are a part time worker, sole trader you may find that a free website or blog is sufficient, for bigger business 
having a website is recommended.    
<br/><br/>
Another issue to consider is eCommerce, if you need to receive or make payments via your web site you will need to 
ensure that you have the required facilities to do this.
<br/><br/>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Paid advertising</h2>
While paid advertising can be cost effective, you need to ensure that the income generated is generally significantly more
than the cost of the advertising. You should monitor the response and profit gained from all paid advertising, so you 
can establish how cost effective it is. If it is not cost effective stop it.
<br/><br/>
Some typical paid advertising includes:
<ul>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Pay per click (PPC).</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Adwords.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Banner adverts.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Adverts in printed media - Papers Magazines etc.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Paid links.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Paid directories.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Google Adwords.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Paid listings.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Search engines, with ongoing search engine optimisation.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Paid adverts or in ebooks or other publications.</h2></li>
</ul>
<br/>
<h2 class="headingbluebold">Genuine Free advertising</h2>
While these options may require some registration or set up, once they are set up they will generally run fully automatically
helping to promote your business.
<ul>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Search engines, with no ongoing search engine optimisation.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Online directories.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Enhanced Marketing System (EMS).</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Email and forum, signatures / sign offs.</h2></li>
</ul>
 
<h2 class="headingbluebold">Enhanced Marketing System (EMS)</h2>
The EMS system has a number of benefits including directing <b>free traffic to your web site or blog</b>. This system is ideal for
helping you to promote your opinions / information or business. The EMS free marketing system is just that and will 
help to increase your visitors numbers progressively.

<br/><br/>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Summing up internet marketing</h2>
Every individual or business should have a website or blog to advertise / promote their opinions or business. You do not 
need to be limited to just one, you can have a few. Having a few is one of the methods that many business people use, 
to do cross marketing when you have more than one thing they wish to promote. There are some marketing strategies that 
can help to make this process more efficient. <a href="evmspvmp.php" target="_blank"><b>These marketing strategies are available to registered EMS users</b>.</a>

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Setting up a website or blog.</h2>
There are a number of options available including:

	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Free websites.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Free blogs.</h2></li>
	<li><h2 class="normalbold">Standard websites some with eCommerce facilities.</h2></li>

If you are on a very tight business budget or would like to set up a personal website or blog you could use one of the 
free options. While this may not give the best business image it may help you to get started and when the business 
starts to take off you can invest in your own website. The free websites and blogs may not allow you to include
eCommerce facilities to take payments but can provide information about your products, services and information.
<br/><br/>

Many free websites and blogs do not require you to know anything about programming, just a basic knowledge of word 
processing to set them up.
<!--
 An easy option is <b>MySpace</b>.

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Start with a Website or blog.</h2>
If you have not got a website or blog, this is the place to start. 
Even if you intend to create a website, a blog is a good place to start, it is easy and even if you later set up your own website you can include a link on your blog to direct people to your new website.
<!--
 If cost is your most important factor, you can start 
by using a blog, this is really a web diary but it lets you promote yourself or your business. 
-->
You do not need any 
previous web development skills to set up a blog at MySpace. 
<br/><br/>
The one thing you do need is an email address to register for just about anything on the web. You
can set up a free email account <a href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank" title="Create a free email account here">here</a>. On the Yahoo.com website click on the 
<b>Free mail: Sign Up</b>.
<br/><br/> 
When you have an email account you can register for a free blog. An easy option is <b>MySpace</b>.

<h2 class="headingbluebold">Promotion.</h2>
It is true that promotion requires resources, this can be time or money but generally a combination of the two. In the
final analysis time is money, while you are doing marketing it is taking you away from other income generating activities 
so even your time is costing you money.
<br/><br/>
The key is too look at the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. Firstly you need to consider how much the 
advertising is costing and then how much business profit it generates. It is simple, if and advert is not paying
for itself then stop it. Note, it is not always so simple to establish exactly how profit you receive from an advert as 
you may only receive some of the benefits after a month or two.
<br/><br/>
The best value for money advertising, it is the advertising that creates the maximum profit for the advertising cost.
FREE adverising is rarely FREE. The reason for this is that it generally has a number of disadvantages, however there 
are some very good options that you can use. One of the best options is the EMS system, the reason for this is that 
it does not take long to set up and will then run automatically promoting your business. As the use of the EMS system is 
FREE it is a fantastic way to promote your business.
