Friends, I welcome you again! Today I’ll tell you how to advertise on the Internet so that it brings referrals and sales. This is very important for anyone who wants to increase their income.

I already wrote an article where to advertise, where advertising is broadcast directly to computer screens, but you need to use different methods to get maximum conversion.

There is a service, using which you get the opportunity to broadcast your advertising banners in top part user browsers. For example, a person is sitting on any website and your banner appears in his browser, which does not disappear for 15 seconds or more.

The banner viewing time is set by you when placing an order. I think it would be right if your costs are not large, which is why I recommend using this particular service. Impressions here cost pennies, and when compared with advertising on websites, the price is so meager that it is not noticeable on your wallet at all.

Once registration is complete, you log in to your Personal Area and click on “add advertising” in the menu on the left. A window will open in front of you where you can create your banner. If you have your own, then insert its html code; if not, then insert the link to which you need to refer the client.

In the picture you can see that I pasted the link and clicked on the “continue” button. After this, you are taken to a page where you create either a text banner or an image. Everything is done very simply here. After completing the advertising setup, move on to the third step.

Here you can choose how many times to show it to the same person. Next, choose how often you want to show it. Then whether to show the speed of impressions and finally the duration to the person who has already clicked on the ad.

Here you configure it at your discretion. But to get a good conversion, I recommend choosing to show the same person no more than three times, not showing to those who have already clicked on the ad, the speed is 1 time per 5 seconds and the maximum time.

After that, click on the button below and go to the next step, where you are shown the final amount, by paying which you get clients. Everything is easy and simple.

In the page that opens you will see your banner, all you have to do is click on the “start rotation” button. You will first be shown to transfer funds from the advertising budget to the banner budget, and then, by clicking a second time, you will see that the impressions have started.

Here, if necessary, you can edit the ad. Nearby there is a button to view statistics. If the ad is written correctly, the conversion will be very high. The price is not high, so experiment and learn how to get maximum referrals and sales.

As you can see from my advertising statistics, which I just launched, for 12 rubles I received 19 interested people who went to my website to get acquainted with the information. And this is just the beginning, because I threw in 60 rubles, so there will still be plenty of people. All that remains is to monitor how many people will register and start generating income for me. Again I'll give you a link for this advertising service.

Friends, I explained in detail how to advertise on the Internet, you can also test the option about which I wrote before and this option and see where there will be more traffic from. I also recommend reading all the articles in the section “

The obvious benefit of running free advertising is that it doesn't cost you anything. For business, such cost reduction will be very useful. Today, many buyers are starting to get annoyed by overly intrusive (and also very expensive) advertising. Therefore, to find the necessary information, they are increasingly visiting free classifieds sites.

An interesting and proven fact is that users perceive free advertising as more objective. At the same time, free advertising confidently competes with paid advertising in terms of its effectiveness. Over time, as the company grows, it is not always a good idea to use free advertising. But at first, or even in the work of a medium-sized business, free advertising becomes a reliable tool for powerful promotion and justified savings.

What should free advertising be like?

You should carefully consider the issues of professional and competent preparation of free advertising. An advertising message can be delivered in different ways - graphically or using text, or it can combine both options.

The main condition is that you need a laconic, catchy and succinct ad. Modern users do not have the desire or time to get acquainted with the huge offer. Therefore, the best option is graphic images with a minimum of text, which should accurately reflect the meaning and essence of its message.

40 free advertising options

1. Newspaper advertisements. In the print media market, only newspapers with commercial and private advertisements remain among the free ones. If you manage to disguise your commercial ad as a private message, you can get a free advertising tool. Nothing bad will happen if the editors detect your attempts at such a trick - at most they will block the submission of advertisements from the current number.

2. Social stands. They are located on the territory of almost every yard. It is not forbidden to pin charges on them, but this method is unlikely to be particularly effective. After all, such stands are studied mainly only by people of the older generation.

3. Stamp printing with a memorable and distinct logo and information about the company. This option will not please you with its special aesthetics. Although we have been using such free advertising for more than 7 years, it confirms its fairly high effectiveness, especially in the areas of repairs, household services, etc.

6. Competent and understandable form of signature in the work e-mail. You should indicate not only contacts, your full name, and area of ​​activity. You can supplement the information with a short advertising message.

7. Mailings. You can organize your newsletter on your website, or use a specialized service or programs. You should be quite careful, since such advertising is often regarded by recipients as spam. Therefore, for proper effectiveness, it is important to correctly compose an ad by contacting a professional copywriter.

9. A business card is like free advertising. You should place a brief summary of your business proposal on the back of your business card. There is no need to provide contact information in a foreign language - it is better to prepare a separate business card for foreigners.

10. Online auctions. An effective tool for organizing sales and attracting new customers.

11. Conferences and forums on the Internet for free advertising. There must be a message that is relevant to this conference or forum, otherwise it will soon be deleted.

As a result, advertising effectiveness increases at lower costs.

13. Aggregators of goods and services. Specialized catalogs for posting your products with prices and photos - similar to an online store. Typically, news publication and other features are allowed here. Such examples are the resources tiu.ru, pulscen.ru, etc.

14. Forums for advertising. Moderators and administrators of such resources are not very fond of free advertising - they delete information almost immediately. A more flexible approach is needed here. We select all thematic forums and the largest forums in your area. We read the topics and respond meaningfully. Only after understanding who you will be communicating with can you unobtrusively convey information about your product. Sometimes you can agree with the moderators to create your own separate topic in which you will act as an expert. For example, “Everything you wanted to know about buying laptops” if you are selling computer equipment.

15. Questions and answers services. Here you need to answer the user’s questions in a detailed, relevant and simple manner. In this case, the information in the message will solve someone's problem and convey information about your product. Examples of such services are otvety.google.ru and otvet.mail.ru.

16. Advertising with videos. You can also think about creating educational videos, or prepare unusual advertisements that attract attention. We post any recordings made on video hosting sites - for example, Youtube. The main rule is maximum detailed description video so that users of video hosting and search engines can find it.

17. Article in a magazine. Free magazines and online publications. If you consider yourself an expert in a certain field, you have useful information For readers, you can agree to write an article for free. But such free advertising pays off - you get an additional way to communicate about your company.

20. Start a blog. Recently, the popularity of blogging has increased significantly. An advertising offer can also be published here, but only if you can keep an online diary yourself.

21. Free advertising in conjunction with another company. You agree with an interested company to produce advertising leaflets at its expense - advertising for both the partner and yours will be placed on them on different sides. You will distribute such leaflets.

22. Advertising in public pages through articles. IN in social networks you can find thematic groups - study the content of one of the public pages, write a new article suitable for this community. The group should also be mentioned in the text. Then we publish the article in our public page and report it to the moderator of the selected community. At a minimum, he will post a link to your community, and at most, he will publish the entire article in his group, indicating the authorship and link.

23. Become your own advertisement. If there is not enough money for advertising, become one yourself. Inform everyone about the company - including relatives, friends, acquaintances, casual interlocutors, etc. Put a sticker indicating the company on your car, wear a T-shirt with the logo, etc.

24. Communicate and tell about your product/ company/service. Do not forget to participate in all public events where there will be an opportunity to convey information about advertising - including press conferences, seminars, exhibitions, fairs, forums, etc.

25. Participation in various competitions to receive grants, subsidies, or the status of the best company in its field. There is always a chance to win here, especially since the media usually writes about the event participants, providing free advertising for you.

26. Word of mouth– is considered the most effective advertising option. After all, people trust the advice of friends and acquaintances more. Even though you still have rare clients, you should inspire them through small incentives. You can even promise a percentage of the profits for referring friends.

27. Offer potential buyers a discount on products. You can sell at cost or dump - we need to attract the attention of the target audience, luring them away from competitors. However, you need to know when to stop so as not to make your business unprofitable.

28. Search engine optimization of the site. Inner work– optimization of the content and structure of the site. An external factor is working with the link mass on the site. Here you get an advantage over commercial sites - because you publish unique, original information. Therefore, users link to non-commercial sites more often.

29. Exchange articles with other sites. Advertising in the form of links to your website placed in articles from various resources. Special articles should be prepared that can be shared with other resources. That is, you prepare articles for advertising for free in the form of a link or banner to your website. But the articles must be of high quality so that the site owner wants to publish them.

40. Go for a trick. The director of a costume store hardened a thousand coins, each coated with a layer of gold and silver. When purchasing, the seller discreetly placed such a coin in his jacket pocket. The buyer was delighted with such a find and was sure to tell everyone he knew about it at every opportunity.

What to do before launching a free advertising campaign

Step 1. You should decide on the target audience of your product. If possible, you need to get the most detailed and detailed portrait of the client.

At one time I was so familiar with advertising firsthand.

Entrepreneurs often spend a lot of money on their advertising campaigns and, as a rule, they spend it in vain.

Since the entrepreneur does not know exactly how it works (advertising) and following the lead of advertising agents, they place advertisements in areas that are obviously not promising, which, as is clear, does not bring the desired result.

Let's look at it now to save your money and get the desired result.

Advertising and business – we advertise correctly

Having started his own business, an entrepreneur begins to think about promoting it so that it becomes popular and as many people as possible know about it. And as is clear, he has a reasonable question WHERE TO ADVERTISE? In order not to spend extra money and she worked wisely.

For different areas of activity there are common standards that work best in them.

Where to advertise

And so, let's look at the areas of activity where it is better to advertise and where it works better. I will divide the business into 3 general areas - services, trade and production.

1. Advertising for the service sector .

A) ads. Ordinary private advertisements for the provision of services with tear-off receipts. Entrepreneurs often underestimate this type of advertising, but in fact it is the most effective for.

It is he who will bring you the main flow of clients. Presumably, about 50% of all clients come to you through advertisements.

Therefore, they need to be glued constantly; paste the city weekly. Preferably on Friday, if it’s difficult to glue yourself, then hire a poster poster to work. Payment 2-3 rubles. for 1 ad.

b) Printed publications. Place an advertisement about the work you are performing in all print media in the city where there is a “Services” column. In fact, this will not bring very many clients, but since such advertising is one of the cheapest, then place it, there will definitely be a flow of clients for such advertisements.

V) Business cards. In other words, I would say word of mouth, I’m sure you know what it is. Grateful clients will definitely recommend their friends to contact you. So order business cards, even the cheapest ones, and hand them to each of your clients for whom you perform work.

G) Internet. In fact, this advertising is not very effective and there are not many clients from it, but they still exist. The best thing to do would be to advertise on the Internet on free message boards in your city. This type of advertising is free and that’s the only reason I included it here.

2. Advertising for trade

A) Booklets. Colorful colorful booklets are quite effective advertising. Order such booklets with descriptions and prices of the most interesting products, as well as, of course, the address and phone number of the store.

Such booklets should be distributed in the mailboxes of the neighborhoods closest to your store.

b) Advertising in elevators. It’s also worth placing an advertisement here, but you don’t need to make it too big because it’s quite expensive, but making a medium-sized module is also worth it. Indicate your best product offers on it.

V) Printed publications. Place an advertising module (not an advertisement at all) in the appropriate section of the most popular local newspapers in the category of your product.

Under no circumstances should you advertise in free newspapers, as this is just rubbish.

G) Business cards. Make business cards with a 3-10% discount in your store and give them to customers depending on their purchase amount. This will attract regular customers to your store.

d) TV advertising. Advertising on TV in the creeping line and TV newspaper format should be given only if you are holding some kind of promotion, or you have a large supply of goods - in this case, it also makes sense to place advertising here.

e) Pillar and sign. This can also be attributed to advertising (outdoor). You must have a colorful sign and be sure to have a colorful sign indicating the location of the store.

Often people get confused when looking for a store; a pillar and sign will help them easily find the location of the store.

That's exactly how it will be advertise correctly for your store. You should not spend money on advertising on the radio, in public transport, on billboards, it will not bring value for money.

3. Advertising for production

By pursuing an image policy, you will not only ensure that your product is recognized by potential buyers, but you will also find additional markets, since representatives of the trade of this category of product will contact you with offers of cooperation.

This is where I will end my article, now you know how to properly advertise for your business.

To help the entrepreneur

1. Free business consultations IN CONTACT WITH "

There are no budgets, but you need to sell somehow - a typical situation for beginning Internet entrepreneurs. At one time I lived without money for a very long time, so I was forced to master all the intricacies of free advertising. And here I will show you 5 options on how you can make advertising on the Internet for free yourself. The good news is that it's actually real.

#1 - The main option for free advertising on the Internet

From my own experience I can tell you that nothing in this world is completely free. In any case, we will pay for everything we want to get. The only question is what exactly will we pay with - money or something else?

I have already given my “alchemical formula” for creating resources. And here I will repeat it again.

We have only 3 main resources:

1. Time
2. Money

And absolutely each of us has limited these resources (even Rockefeller’s granddaughter, and even Apple). To get any of the resources listed above, we will have to add the remaining two together and invest them.

That is, if you don’t have money (and you want you to have it), then you will have to pay for it with your time and effort. And it’s the same with advertising on the Internet.

Scary word starting with the letter C….

There are several main ways to advertise something on the Internet for free. The first and main option is simple SPAM.

If we talk about SPAM, then it also happens different types. You can send mailings to email databases, or spam links to your resources in the comments of popular blogs, or do the same in numerous VKontakte groups.

One of the definitions of SPAM is that you insert your advertising into places where you are not asked to go. That is, the moderators of these sites will make every effort to remove all your links and ban you.

Personally, I don’t blame you, because, let’s be honest, we’ve all spammed at least once in our lives. I even described it in detail here (opens in a new tab). But people who even see your advertising links and follow them to your sites will convert very poorly.

That is, you will need at least 10-20 times more traffic to earn the same money than if you worked through, say, regular legal advertising sources. And this, accordingly, leads to the fact that you will have to visit even more sites and VKontakte groups, posting your links.

Or create another hundred fake VKontakte pages and send invitations and offers from them.

Semi-legal spam method via VKontakte

By the way, about the VKontakte mailing list. Currently, such a free advertising option as “friending” still works. This is when you design your VKontakte page to sell some product or service, and then you simply start adding everyone as a friend.

Your new “friends” will go to your page to find out who sent them an application and (what the hell is not kidding), maybe one of them will buy your product someday. This activity is also very labor-intensive, taking into account all the restrictions and protection mechanisms that VKontakte introduced.

I remember I did this kind of black friending in 2009, when I was just starting to make money on the Internet. Life was easier then, VKontakte was younger and kinder, but still, it took a lot of energy.

I must say that these methods of free self-advertising... really work. Bad, crooked, difficult, long, but they work. Therefore, if your budget is not very good yet, spam is a good option (let’s not be such moralists).

Now let me tell you a terrible secret - how today young businesses and entrepreneurs without money become super-mega popular literally overnight.

#2 - How businesses without money succeed today

There is one interesting way advertise on the Internet quickly and for free so that absolutely everyone knows about you (and loves you). This method will also require some investment of time and effort from you. And again we are essentially talking about friending.

Only this is a completely different friending. It's done something like this: you start friendly relations with someone who is already known and popular in your market, and then after a while he promotes you using his resources.

That is, we are talking about so-called networking. Personally, I never liked or knew how to do such things, but you may well succeed. For such networking, you need to have a certain set of qualities - sociability, willingness to please and admire, the ability to constantly gently remind yourself, and others.

How to properly meet VIPs

Of course, all famous and popular people are under constant pressure in the form of requests to give money for some brilliant product, or to become a partner in some project that will make them rich in the future. If you write to someone famous with the request “don’t teach me how to live, better help me financially,” then they will simply ignore you.

You must first get acquainted with the chosen object, then make friends with it, and only then after some time it will come to partnerships. A big man you just have to say one word, even briefly mention you somewhere in an article or in an interview, and you will already fly from rags to riches.

I would recommend that you first praise the services or goods of some famous person. This may seem strange to you, but they really really like it when they are praised and when they are thanked (if you knew how much dirt and criticism is poured on them every day). Therefore, your video review or thank you article about them will probably be republished on their resources.

And then - develop success. Find how you could be useful to a person with a name, never ask him for anything, give him the opportunity to talk to you about what interests him. Well, it’s not for me to teach you how to win friends and influence people.

And after some time your new big friend will offer you some partnership options. And then you are on horseback. The only disadvantage of this method of free advertising is the instability of your position. A famous partner only needs to say one word to lift you up, and it will also be enough to say one word to bring you down.

Therefore, you will always have to be very careful not to offend him in any way, and so that no one more nimble comes to take your place. All this will greatly limit your freedom. That's why I never used such methods.

Moreover, there is another option - completely free, absolutely legal, and 100% reliable.

#3 – The most effective free online advertising method

If we continue to talk about recommendations, then there are two authorities in RuNet who can give you a lot of constant and hot traffic to your sales pages. These guys' names are Yasha and Gosha (that is, Yandex and Google). They compare favorably with other authorities in that they recommend you for specific merits, and not for your ability to “make acquaintances.”

To get their recommendations, you just need to create a website and fill it with useful content on the topic of your product. Then search engines will bring your articles to the TOP, and you will begin to receive a flow of visitors every day, who will then become your clients.

Of course, this sounds easier in words than in reality. But in reality there is nothing complicated here. The trick is to constantly give people useful and interesting content. Promotion of a young website takes from 6 months of pure time. Good promotion can take 2-3 years.

Yes, as you can see, here you also need to invest time and effort (all according to our “alchemical formula”). But unlike other free methods, this advertising option will probably work. And it’s also nice that this is a constant source of traffic (unlike the same SPAM, for example, which needs to be dealt with every day).

Personally, I like this option the most. But what if you don’t like writing articles, or are you naturally so lazy that you want to do it for free and do nothing yourself? Congratulations, there is such a way.

#4 – Free advertising through someone else’s hands

Imagine how great it would be if hundreds of people in all corners of the Internet were promoting your products and services every day, while you quietly lay on the couch and sip cocktails.

Surprisingly, it is actually possible to organize work in this way. This is simply called the “affiliate program”. Of course, no one will promote you for free, but you will only pay your partners based on sales made.

No sales - no money. Someone brings you a client - you pay him an honest percentage of the purchase amount. This promotion option is very suitable for all beginning Internet entrepreneurs (and non-beginners too).

In RuNet there are many half-starved specialists in various areas of marketing - contextual advertising, VKontakte targeting, SEO, YouTube and others. They are half-starved because they do not have their own products to sell. And they are constantly on the lookout for some really good affiliate program that they can direct their traffic to.

And if you provide them with such an affiliate program, then they will love you and will put a lot of effort into making you happy.

Of course, this method also has difficulties. The first difficulty is that you need to build . Affiliates, of course, are ready to drive traffic to you, but only if sales are made from it (and they earn money). If there are no sales, they will quickly forget about you and switch to others.

The second difficulty is the need to constantly motivate partners to work. They are knowledgeable and capable people, but a little lazy. They need to be given some kind of incentive all the time. For example, hold competitions, give out prizes to the best partners, set higher commissions for those who sell more.

And the affiliate program itself also needs to be promoted somehow so that more and more people come to you with new traffic. As an option, you can create a two-level affiliate program. This is when partners advertise your affiliate program, and then receive commissions not only from their sales, but also from the sales of those partners whom they attracted “for themselves.”

Technically, you can organize an affiliate program through various services. For example, I use the service because it is best suited for electronic products.

And finally, let's talk about how to make advertising on the Internet for free for a million dollars.

#5 - How to make advertising on the Internet for free for a million dollars

In the end, I want to reveal the worst “secret secret” about advertising on the Internet. If you want to make money online, the main thing is not to advertise for free. The main thing is to make sure that your advertising is profitable.

Tell me, is spending a million dollars on advertising expensive or not? You just can't say that. The question is whether this advertising will be profitable or not. Spending a hundred rubles and earning zero is unprofitable and therefore too expensive. And spending a million and earning ten is profitable, and therefore completely inexpensive.

And you, too, can spend any money you want, only if you are set up (the same requirement, by the way, also applies to the previous point about affiliate programs).

I specially recorded a video course for you, in which I teach how to do advertising on the Internet from the point of view of entrepreneurs, not advertisers. There we advertise in a way that is profitable. And accordingly, it’s free.

In the course, I examine in detail the 5 main sources of traffic on the RuNet - Yandex Direct, SEO, YAN, Google Display Network and targeted advertising on VKontakte. So if you always want to have free advertising and not depend on anyone, it’s imperative.

In Contact or Odnoklassniki (you can use both social networks), create a group for the store. Post photos of products, descriptions and start actively establishing relationships with potential buyers. You join other people’s groups and offer to join your own. This requires communication skills.

On thematic forums, the main task is to find the target audience and, on occasion, unobtrusively provide a link to a “very high-quality and inexpensive product.” Such communication is good training for those who really want to learn how to do advertising on the Internet for free themselves.

You register in catalogs for free and post information about your company. Choose among several of the most famous: Yandex.Catalogue, Tor100, mail.ru, Rambler and others. Clients don't often look at directories, but they will contain a link to your site. This means something to search engines.

Advertising on the Internet for free is not the best choice

The possibilities for free advertising on the Internet are limited. You will attract a certain number of customers, but you shouldn’t count on massive visits to the site or calls from customers. It is not for nothing that paid advertising industries are actively developing on the Internet, i.e. professional. And in this case, with a successful choice of a team of specialists, the profit from visiting the site will be proportional to the investment in its content and promotion.

One of the usual options for advertising for money is placing banners on frequently visited pages. Experts say: the chance that someone will click on the banner is 0.5%. However, the potential buyer will subconsciously remember the information from the banner and will respond to your trademark with greater respect in the future. Today, contextual advertising is becoming more and more effective. And anyone who wants to know how to advertise an online store cannot do without it.

How to advertise an online store - for those with serious goals

Contextual advertising attracts customers who are most interested in purchasing your group's products. It appears on the results pages of user queries in search engines. The most well-known contextual advertising services are Yandex Direct or Google Adwords.

Someone types in the search “buy eau de toilette”, and on the first page of results a link appears to your website selling perfumes. This is contextual advertising for a given keyword or combination of words, which answers the question of how to make advertising for an online store most effective.

In systems that provide contextual advertising, each click on a link is paid. The cost of a click is up to $0.3, but the effectiveness of contextual advertising, as statistics say, is up to 20% of visits to the site when the ad is correctly composed. Sometimes up to 30%.

How to make online advertising permanent

Contextual advertising and banner placement require costs for the period of each promotion. But there is also a technique that will bring your online store to leading positions in search queries using one-time financial investments. This is website optimization - a whole set of measures that will make your page on the Internet also useful and interesting for users.

Optimization (SEO – website promotion) – strategy. And it is necessary to involve professionals in its implementation. Promotion requires more than just money and time. The online store should be rich in high-quality content, photographs, and have easy navigation. As a result, after thorough work, the site will invariably rank in the top places when searching in Google or Yandex for key queries.
