How to Advertise Your way to Success?

From the desk of: John Arrington


I’ve read about all kinds of ways to advertise. And they all are promising. But, the truth is, There is only one way to advertise Successfully... So, what are the best ways to advertise?


Remember the one who advertises the most, makes the most money.

Think of advertising like going fishing:


1. You need good equipment (website, products to sell)
2. The best bait (ads, sales letter, advertising)
3. Know where the fish are biting (target the right prospects, every where)
4. Patience (relax and wait for a bite. Then reel them in)


The ABC’s of successful advertising:


A. Advertise
B. Business
C. Continuously


Advertising is the very heart beat of your business. No matter what business you’re in, doctor, lawyer, babysitter, painter, internet entrepreneur, etc. Why are some businesses so successful? Is it their products? Maybe, but I don’t think so.


The main reason is not their products, it’s their advertising.


I’m here to tell you. Advertising is the key to your success. Stop or slow down on your advertising and your business will soon die. I guarantee!


You have to be dedicated to advertising 90% of the time and the other 10% should be used to find other products to sell, or creating better ads or sales letters.


Have you ever stop to think about all the advertising around you every single day?


Pick up anything around you right now, and you will see the brand name or logo of the company on it.. Any thing from remote controls, magazines, toys, ink pens, pencils, clocks, etc. Hey, what about your vehicle you drive, see the advertisement, Chevrolet, Ford, Toyota, etc. Tires have Goodyear, Firestone, and so on. Coffee, tea, bread, milk, bottled water, etc.


What about driving down the highway? Billboards, store fronts, semi trucks (company names on side of them.) Ups, FedEx, Cex, Pam, J. B. Hunt, etc.. What about tv, radio, the internet... Lets face it advertising is powerful and the way to your success.


Now, I’m going to knock you for a loop.. Did any of these advertisements have a single prospect in mind? No, they flashed their message before everyone..Why, because like fishing you just don’t know which fish are hungry and which ones will bite at any given moment... So you always have to be prepared for a bite from the strangest places...


Which leads us to the reason I wrote this article.


What are the best places to advertise? Everywhere online, offline. Make up some flyers, index cards, business cards. And place them at laundry matts, bulletin boards at the super market. Stuff them in magazines while you wait at the doctors office, dentist office. Be creative.

Should you use free or paid advertising? Use both at all times. When you can’t afford to pay for any more ad postings, start placing free ads.

Hey, did you ever think about exit signs along the highway. Those signs are a sort of advertising. They are advertising the most popular exit. Which one is the most popular exit you ask? It’s the one you're looking for to get off the highway.

Now, I know this may sound off the wall, but I don’t think so. Even nature itself advertises. Yes, it’s true. Say you are driving down a road and see a beautiful sunset.. And you say I would like to have a picture of a sunset hanging on my wall and you go and buy a picture of a sunset...

What about pets nature gave us. Say you see a certain breed of cat, and you say I want a cat just like that one. What about dogs, You see a collie and you say man I would love to have a collie..

What about trees, You see a beautiful pecan tree and you go and buy one and have it planted in your back yard..

See what I’m trying to say here, advertising is every where.. You can’t escape it.. If you tried you would only run into another one.

So, you also should be advertising every where you can.

Hey, check your cell phone. What brand is it? You might be that companies sales person and not even know it. How? By word of mouth. Say someone says to you, Wow, I really like the look of your phone, it looks cool. What kind is it, and you tell them. And now that person goes out and buys a phone just like yours. See what happened. You advertised that companies brand of phone by word of mouth.. And that company just got free advertising...

See how important advertising is. It’s like a river flowing free.. Until someone builds a dam and stops its flow.. How can we stop our cash flowing in, from our business? By stop advertising (we just built a dam.) And our river will dry up...(cash flow.) I can say from experience. If you follow this advise I’m offering you here, you will in time become successful.. Just wait and see. Don’t be a quieter, be a doer.. Stay focused and advertise everywhere...

Now here is another example: Say you are going on a trip to see someone Or vacation. Make sure you take some flyers, index cards, and business cards along with you..

Leave them in all kinds of places. Leave one on the table at a restaurant with the tip... How about placing business cards in the envelopes when you pay your bills. Don’t just place 100 ads and say your done. You are never done placing ads. This is the life line of your business, your success depends upon it.

My moto is: The one who advertises the most, makes the most money.

When I can’t sleep. I get up and start placing ads. I look at it this way. If I get up only to watch TV, I’m spending money. But if I start placing ads I’m making money. I guess you can tell I’m so focused on advertising. I even carry a small recorder with me at all times. This way if I think of a new title for a sales letter or ad. I just record it and come back to it later and write the ad. This works great for those with busy schedules.

You have to be an aggressive advertiser to become successful at your business.

Tip for today: Start searching the web for new places to advertise. New ones pop up every day.

I even give my customers a free gift for just letting me know where they seen my ad...

Navy Petty Officer Mike Monsoorï

PO2 (EOD2) (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Mike Monsoor, a Navy EOD Technician, was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for jumping on a grenade in Iraq, giving his life to save his fellow Seals.

During Mike Monsoor's funeral in San Diego , as his coffin was being moved from the hearse to the grave site at Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetery, SEAL's were lined up on both sides of the pallbearers route forming a column of two's, with the coffin moving up the center. As Mike's coffin passed, each SEAL, having removed his gold Trident from his uniform, slapped it down embedding the Trident in the wooden coffin.

The slaps were audible from across the cemetery; by the time the coffin arrived grave side, it looked as though it had a gold inlay from all the Tridents pinned to it.

This was a fitting send-off for a warrior hero.

This should be front-page news instead of the crap we see every day.. Since the media won't make this news, I choose to make it news by forwarding it .

I am extremly proud of our military. If you are proud too, please pass this on. If not then rest assured that these fine men and women of our military will continue to serve and protect.

God Bless our Troops

Twitter - (Tweeting with Excellence)

I have been asked by a few of my followers at twitter. How do I communicate properly with people on twitter?

So I put together this article to help answer this simple but powerful question.

How To communicate on twitter with excellence with your followers is simple once you know this simple technique called " Question & Answer Technique"

But first, I want to start off with the answer to the question communicating properly on twitter. Before I get to the "Question & Answer Technique."

To communicate properly on twitter is simple. Just talk to your followers like you would one of your friends face to face. Like "How was your day" or share the latest news that you heard. Just start talking and sharing your thoughts and ideas. Ask questions and answer questions that someone ask if you know the answer. It is that simple.

(How To Become A Person Of Interrest On Twitter)

Here is a TIP that has never been revealed before until now called: (The Question & Answer Tecnique) for Twitter.

This technique will add interest to your tweet messages. And make you a very interesting person to follow. And when get good at this technique your tweet messages will soon become the tweets of the day. Mark my words. This technique will be picked up very quickly and used by many tweeps.

Here is how "The Question & Answer Technique" works.

You will send out a tweet message saying something like this:

1. Your first message or tweet:

Did you know that (_____) can fly? The answer revealed in my next tweet.
You fill in the blank above.

2. Your second tweet or message:

Answer: Watch this video and see how (____) was able to fly.

See what I'm trying to say here?

You have to get people interested in your next message or tweet. That is the key to communicating using (The Question & Answer Technique)

I see too many people trying to do it all in one message. And when they do this their message scrolls down to the bottom of page and disappears. Now this person must now find something else to post. These short lived messages don't get people looking for your next tweet.

But if you used (The Question & Answer Technique) they would be waiting for your next tweet. Try it and see for yourself. Start getting in the habit of sending out a question, then next the answer message. Every once in a while.

This gets easier to do once you have done a few of them. And it's fun.

This makes your thread feed on twitter very interesting.

Here is a very important TIP: Using (The Question & Answer Technique)

Do not let no more then one minute lap between your Question and when you send the Answer. Why? Because your followers will soon lose interest and move on to something else.

Another way you can use this (Question & Answer Technique) is to watch for someone to post a message. And you could answer their tweeted message with a question.

Example:

1. Their message goes something like this:

Video of Paul doing a crazy stunt.

2. Your message would follow something like this:

Great video of Pauls crazy stunt. Did you see what happened to him before the stunt? See what happened in my next tweet.

Now you see what just happened?

You just took the message that someone just tweeted and made it a continuing thread of interest.

This my freind is what tweeting with excellence is all about...

Well I hope the article was a help for you so you can become a person of interest on twitter. Feel free to share - RT- this information with your friends and followers. Follow me on Twitter @johna404
