USFreeAds
USFreeads is a site where you can sign up to write ad's. It is a good place to start because it has 3 different levels. The first one is free, you can't beat that price. It has a limit as to how many ad's you can place and how often they will show.
Cheap Advertising #2
The second one is a gold membership for $10.00 a year. This also has a limit on your number of ad's but higher than the free version. This seems like a good price to pay for some real time ad copywriting exposure.
The Premium Membership
The premium membership at $9.99 a month includes unlimited ad's and being able to add up to twelve graphics to your your ad. Graphic do make a difference in appearance and they sell more products. If you make one sale a month that will easily cover the premium account.
Greater Exposure
Naturally the premium membership gives your ad's more exposure and you have the option of making an ad a feature ad for about $5.oo a month. They have to make money too. I tried the first two but they weren't what I was looking for however the premium membership is a good way to get your ad's up and running with good exposure for about $.33 a day.
No Nudies - Darn
They accept most ad's except for adult nature and you must use a paid membership for selling a dog for some reason that I don't know? But they are very serious about the adult stuff. You can however sell male(how to get a woman) and female products(how to trap a man) but no pornography stuff.
Remember Your Keywords
This site is good practice for weaving your keywords into the title and content of the ad. These ad's can be short articles so it's also good practice for E-mail marketing and article submission marketing, plus a chance to make a sale.
Web Site Practice
This site will also let you get your feet wet writing html on a web page. You don't need to know this to write ad's but there is a button you can click on and see how what you have written is done in html(hyper Text Markup Language) code. Do you think they were on drugs when they thought this up? Html is very good to know so you can fix problems with your own wesite. It is not as hard as it sounds.
Need something to sell?
You can find products or services from many sources.I'm working on compiling a list of networks that have merchants that sell download products, physical products(watches, cameras, etc.) and memberships to sites. But for the time being the easiest one to join is ClickBank®. You have probably bought something through them at one time or another. They only handle download products witch also pay the highest commissions.
The Plan
All that you have to do is join clickbank, it's free, pick out a product, something that you know about would be good to start off with. Pick out your keywords for that product, remember think like the person looking for this product. You are helping them, products solve problems for people, make life easier or more enjoyable. They have a need you have to scratch. Understand?
Step One
To get started click on the Click Bank You will be taken to a sign up page, it only takes a few minutes. Pick out a product you like and get the hoplink for it. Copy it to notepad or something similar so you can have it ready when you create your ad at USFreeAds.
Hoplink?
A Hoplink is the little code that you get from a product at clickbank. When you click on the box that says get hoplink. This will have your nickname in it, the one you created when you joined. This will be for all of your clickbank products. This enables clickbank to credit you for a sale, don't forget to use it or you won't get paid!
Write your ID down so you don't forget it.
This code is good for ad's, web pages and anywhere else you use it.
There are two, one for use without a web page (PPC ad) and one with.
This one is for a pay per click ad
http://yourid.productid.hop.clickbank.net/ You would replace "yourid" with your id from signing up with clickbank. The "productid" will be replaced with the product ID provided by clickbank.
This next one is a link for your web browser ;
<a href="http://yourid.productid.hop.clickbank.net/" target="_top">Click Here!</a>
This is similar to the first one but it is to be used in a web page. The only part that is visible on the web page is the "Click Here!" which can be any text you want.
You are writing html code (web page language) when you do this
Step Two
The next step is to join USFreeAds by Clicking Here
Once you are signed up with USFreeAds you can start making your first ad. Remember to use your keywords(Phrases, not single words) in the title if possible, there is a limited number of characters in all titles, and your content.
You should have two or three closely related keywords. Closely related means it should have one or two common words in it like; quit smoking cold turkey, quit smoking support, best way to quit smoking. Quit smoking was our common keywords. These phrases are very similar to someone wanting to quit smoking, but to we marketers they are different.
This is an excellent and low cost way to tune in your writing skills
