Once you have made the decision to advertise and either hire help, or do it yourself, you need to start thinking about the kinds of advertising media which are accessible to you given your budget.
* Internet advertising is a popular form of advertising and generally less expensive than other forms of mass media. It can get into more niches than newspapers, radio or magazines.
It usually takes the form of banners, but there is also sponsorship, links, and webmalls.
Internet advertising also uses auto responders, email marketing/advertising, though you do have the choice not to use these. Auto responders will automatically forward a response or information from an incoming email or a set subscription.
Then there is straight email marketing, in which you mail to a list, or you take out an ad with a popular ezine.
There are also blogging and article submission options.
Article submission is simply writing and submitting articles to directories. It is usually for free, though it does take time and effort.
With a blog, you can submit this to a directory as well, and again, it does not usually cost anything unless you want to have your own blog site, but it does cost in terms of time and effort.
Affiliate marketing is also available. Affiliate marketing will also connect you to many other companies, and you will generate an additional income by using affiliate marketing which can help offset the overall cost of advertising.
Affiliate marketing does not cost you money–in fact they pay YOU for every sale. But it does take time and effort, and you will usually need to have an efficient way to contact your prospective buyers, such as email.
