Don't fall for the Hype

Did you realize there are only three types of online promotion?...
This statement may seem abnormal and even untrue in your mind, but I am
talking in more broad terms than you might be thinking.

Let me explain.

The three types of promotion are Junk, Active and Passive
promotions.

JUNK PROMOTIONS ARE MONEY PITS

Junk promotions are those that seem to supply results, but by
their very character are really only illusionary promotions.

For example, you might find yourself subscribing to a submission
program that tricks you into believing you are submitting your
links to tens of thousands search engines.

Most of the people telling you that you can offer your site to
tens of thousands of search engines are genuinely only submitting your
site to Free For All pages! Beware of the artificial promises.

Another junk promotion method is Safe Lists. A safe list is a
mailing group that is signed up to be received by people who want
to submit their own ads. Now, most safe lists have thousands of
subscribers who are able to put forward their ads daily or weekly. The
person signed up to accept the list will gather anywhere from
twenty to 140+ messages a day from the list. These messages will be
received by people only involved in promoting their own thing who
do not have the right motivation to open, let alone read Your
Promotion. As a result, thousands of messages go out daily or
weekly that will never be seen by anyone but the sender of the ad.
Where is the value in that? There is none.

ACTIVE PROMOTIONS

Active promotions are the kind that expect you to go out on a
daily basis or a weekly basis and put out your advertisements. With
active promotions, you will either place your advertising or you
will not sell your products or services. Your choice is easy --
work or starve.

Examples of active promotions consist of Pay Per Click Search Engines
(PPCSE's), Direct Email, Ezine Advertising, Solo Ezine Ads,
Newsletter Publishing, Ezine Ad Swaps, Classified Ads, Auctions,
Site Sponsorship and Banner Ads.

Some people are able to utilize these methods very creatively,
while others are destined to drop their money into the limitless
pit of futile Internet promotions.

PASSIVE PROMOTIONS

Passive promotions are those promotions that can continue to
present results for you long after you have invested the work to
make them accessible to the Internet community.

Examples of passive promotions include: Link Exchanges, Articles,
Ebooks, Content Exchanges and Writing Testimonials for others.

Let's look at articles as a solid example of my point.

You are reading an article that I have written to promote my own
business. This article is eternal and therefore could have been
written five years ago and still has been as indispensable as it is
today.

Due to the fact that the article is timeless, it can and will be
placed in newsletters/ezines and their accompanying online
archives, on websites and in ebooks for many more years to come.

As a result, this article will continue to serve me well beyond the
time in which I wrote it and submitted it to publishers and
webmasters for public use and publication.

This is the best example I can give you of an excellent passive
promotional method.

AVOID THE MONEY PITS

Many try and even fewer succeed to conquer the Internet and to
generate their dreams of online wealth.

My hope is that you will be one of the people who conquer the
challenges before you and to make a nice living while working
online. It will take energy, determination, review plus trial and
error, but you can make it work for you.

Please continue to educate yourself so that you can prevent the money
pits - instead, strive to find the money barrels. It can be done. I
am living proof.
