I often wonder WHY online marketers only do one thing… advertise online! And the most common reason is cost. Advertising Online is generally cheaper than offline marketing. But if you know where to look (like in the newspapers), it won’t cost much if you tapped into emerging markets. This article will offer tips on where and how to find the most affordable newspaper advertising slots around the world at a fraction of what you would normally pay for a small classified lineage ad; and how to capitalize on a gap left wide open by other network marketers.

Summary: Advertising online is great, and in most cases, if you’re smart, the cost of advertising online is negligible. So I think it is safe to say that because it is affordable most Internet Marketers would opt for marketing their businesses online. The only trouble with surfers is that their attention span is very limited. It is usually a case of browsing from one site to the next at the blink of an eye… which can be fun for the surfer (getting to see all these websites) but it sure as hell can’t be fun for the website owner. Why? Because if you visit my site I would want you to stick around to either buy something or sign-up for my newsletter or program. Right? That said, newspaper advertising, although generally perceived as overpriced, is not so in emerging markets. However, for a network marketing opportunity, getting into the right demographic group AND country is key to breaking into emerging markets through newspaper advertising.

The internet has opened new avenues for online advertising, and sites like eBay are now considered the vanguard of online sales and advertising. The truth is there are very few sites that are genuinely offering free advertising. If you are looking for a website where you can advertise your services and products for free, here are a few tips to help you make the most of your free advertising and find a website that genuinely offers free advertising.

Before you start searching for a website, make sure your advertisement is well written and ready to use. There might be no strict word limit for the advertisement, but it should be concise and meaningful. If you are promoting a website, do not insert more than 2 links to the site in the advertisement, most free advertising sites reject adverts that are nothing but a futile link building exercise.
