Above And Beyond Promotion

admin answers:

It depends on how much you want to spend. AdWords can usually be pretty cheap because you can decide how much you want to spend and they’ll tailor your impressions based on that. You can also limit your exposure to only those located in your region. This is a big help for local businesses.

However, I think the best bet for a plumber is to advertise in the Yellow Pages (book and website) and local business handouts. If a person has an emergency plumbing need, the first place they’ll turn to is www.yellowpages.com to find local businesses. Make sure you have a listing, and it wouldn’t hurt to spend a little extra to make it stand out. Also make sure you have a link to your website. A lot of people want to make sure you’re a legit service before calling.

I also think that the business papers that are delivered to neighborhoods within your service area would be helpful. Ads in these small papers are usually really cheap, and they’re distributed to a large area. Yes, a lot of people throw them away but there are some that just leave them lying around. When they have an emergency, they go in search of them to see if they can find a good plumber with good prices.

I hope this helped!

There are several things that you can do and the list of resources you are using is far from complete. Here are just a few sites that you can use that can help you gain even more interest and some pricing.

www.PR.com
PR.com is a website that allows you to publish free press releases. These releases show up on the web pretty well but if you want a link to your website you will have to pay $30 per instance and they will only be live for a month or two if you are lucky since they utilize viral marketing and as new releases and articles hit, older ones get buried.

www.ezinearticles.com
Ezine is good simply because of their ranking. the site will help you get information and they make money off of the pay per click of your article, meaning that your competition is more than likely going to be on the page as well. Simple tip is to offer to sponsor your own articles. The cost is right around $50 a month last I looked but it will stop your competition from showing up on the article itself.

www.sayitaloud.com
I have to tell you, though they are somewhat new, this is quickly becoming one of my personal favorites. All of their articles are 100% original in tons of different categories and you can sponsor your article for an entire year for only $55.00. You can also look at your demographics and sponsor top banner ads on other articles for the same price. They don’t haver any monthly or pay per click fees which makes them much cheaper than almost any other medium out there. With tens of thousands of visitors a week and growing, you are sure to get your best value out of them now. The biggest negatvie is how much they keep changing things on the website. I start to get used to one style and another feature comes on board that I have to figure out. But I guess that’s pretty common for new sites like this.

www.wordpress.com
Most people know about wordpress but they are worth noting in here. WP is good and free, however the easy access has really made it a targeted home to spam and people quickly get buried in the archives. You will put a lot of work in only to have it get buried rather quickly, so be sure to use as many relevant keywords as possible to increase your organic results in the search engines.

There are plenty of other things you can do, however, getting a good marketer would probably be your best bet. Feel free to yahoo me if you would like (swapitall) if you would like additional assistance.

Hope this helps.

If I were a staffing agency, I’d prefer a flat monthly rate.

As a small business, a one-off fee is more appropriate.

Then, once the fee is paid, I get unlimited access to search as a “bonus,” even though we all know that jobs are posted and then the candidates usually self-select and take it from there.

As to price, I don’t know. When we had a vacancy to fill I was astonished by the rates; I had figured they might be in the $100 to $150 neighbourhood, and once I learned I couldn’t get anything for under $300 I used Craigslist instead. I got no bites, but I think that would be true no matter where I posted it, since it’s for a skilled trade position there’s already a shortage of labour for (small offset press operator). So in my case, because my hopes weren’t high for my ad being answered no matter what, I didn’t want to sink a lot of money into it.

There is a lot of way to advertise either free or at a very low cost online. These are broadly classified into 3 main area. 1) Buy Traffic 2)Build Traffic and 3)Steal Traffic. All of these are trying to get more visitor to visit your websites and eventually know more of your invention and get the products from you.

I normally use (2) and (3) as some of these methods are often free or at a low cost.

Find out more from the link in my profile, it tell you how to setup a successful online business including the ways for better marketing online. It will tell you what are these steps, the reason for each step, how you could go around doing it and where you could get the necessary resources free or at a low price.

Hope that it will be useful to you.

It is risky because of all the revenue they will lose. But AOL is thinking that with free service, more people will be on their website and therefore more advertising dollars would go their way. AOL has been steadily losing customers as people switch to other providers. Therefore they feel they need to try something new. I feel it is risky because you are giving up a steady stream of monthly fees that customers pay to use the dial-up service. Hopefully what they do will work out though part of me feels extremely unsure that this is the right move.

If you want to be taken seriously you do no use a free hosting service as they place ads on your site – the ads might even be in competition of what you’re selling.

Get hosting. It starts from US$3.99 a month from one of the good hosting companies ie Hostgator.

Don’t bother with a static website but install a WordPress blog. The script comes free with a lot of hosting packages and there are a heap of free plugins available to install. Firstly, you need the WP e-Commerce plugin from www.getshopped.net. Its free (there is a paid version as well but necessary) and it will handle both digital and physical products. It uses Paypal as its fully secured payment processor.

You can enhance the blog various ways to help your marketing. Capture email addresses vai an autoresponder for a regular newsletter,add informative posts to the blog,subscribe to various blog directories, do article marketing, have an affiliate system for your products(there’s plugind for this also)

Before you even start considering spending money or time advertising your site, I suggest you study your site first and look at it from the point of view of visitors.

Here are my comments on your site:

1. All your products on the homepage shows “Error: Data not available (100)” — that means your site is not ready for operation and you should fix that first because no matter how much you spend with advertising if that is what visitors will see, they will not buy from you

2. You are wasting valuable space. 100% of your above the fold (at least on my screen) is just your note that your products change once a week, etc. etc. I suggest you go to the etailers website and study how they look. For one, the above the fold contains several key elements: (a) featured products, (b) note on what the site is all about; (c) featured promotions. Look at sites such as Target.com or Swimsuits.com — they understand how their precious real estate can engage visitors and make them want to spend money on their site.

Advertising and marketing is one thing; converting these visitors into buyers is a TOTALLY different thing. Your site is not engaging; it has broken features — and I would fix that first before I spend another cent with Adwords or other paid advertising. It will not work with the current look of your site.

Umm… Where did you hear that? Of course advertising agencies charge the advertisers, who in turn pay the media. If it were the reverse, how would we get free TV if “the media” were paying the agencies to supply adverts to interrupt programmes?

The customers of media companies are the advertisers. All this mucking around creating TV programmes is just a way to get people watching adverts.

Depends on the position. Age shouldn’t be a factor but not too young or too old…sorry to say. A BS is usually minimal requirement.

As a creative….Of course experience with creating ads, concepts, marketing etc

As an account rep…the ability to communicate, presentation skills, persuasiveness, professionalism, being able to work as a liaison between the client and creative dept. to come up with a successful ad campaign for the client. Advertising and marketing experience is helpful.

As an exec….to have many years experience in the creative development of advertising and managing a team of creative, sales, and rep employees with success.

Good luck bored one

There’s no passive way to get the info you want. You could try looking on their websites, but the easiest way is just pick up the phone and call. Ask the receptionist who the creative director is and if a portfolio review can be arranged. Many of the agencies are always open to seeing the work of new talent. I’m guessing you’re a graphic designer because that’s what agencies do. With the advent of the Internet, many of the CDs will ask if they can see your work online, so it’s best to get your work in a digital format where it can be quickly reviewed. Once they see your work online, they will ask you in for an interview. The really big agencies are going to want someone with experience so unless you have some with a smaller agency, you might be wasting your time. If you are indeed an designer there are some good places to post your work online in addition to having your own website. Let me know and I’ll send you the info.

I’d say articles is the best way. Write some articles.

If you’re selling literature, then convincing people that hat you write is good would be part of getting them to buy it. What better way of convincing them then writing an article?

I don’t think you can sue Yahoo! Answers for that. Unless you can prove that you lost something because of your account deleting (like income) or suffered personal injury or something like that.

My old account I had since Yahoo! Answers first started and I was all the way up to Level 6. I had some 2700+ points. My account was attached to an email address I’ve had for at least 6 years. I answered a question and mentioned something about the downloading of torrents and my answer was deleted and my account “suspended”. I can understand why they deleted my answer, because torrents are a touchy subject (most people don’t understand that downloading torrents is not illegal, unless you’re downloading copyrighted stuff) and I can see how Yahoo! would think I was promoting illegal activity.

But to suspend my account? WAY too harsh! It was my first violation I had ever received. I appealed the decision and of course lost. Y!A doesn’t have a very good system for reviewing reported answers and questions. Plus, I think the appeals process is all automated and only in rare cases does an actual person read your appeal (if they do, they probably only read the first sentence).

I only still use Yahoo! Answers because there are some people on here who ask interesting questions and there are also some people who give intelligent, well thought-out answers. Those are the kinds of things I like to read.

But Yahoo! needs to get their act together a little better and focus on the idiots who post racist/vulgar remarks and ask questions about why they feel sick after smoking a whole bunch of weed.
