Long before I got the nerve up to learn how to build a website…I read, read, read. E-books
that I had purchased years ago …I still use. Except now I really understand. Almost everyone
comprehends better with the hands on approach. I sure do.
I could read all day about how to add links, banners and ads and still not understand why
they were on the pages.
But while I am in the action of adding ads, links or banners….a light bulb goes off! So that’s the
reason I see certain ads and such on websites!
Now that I have a few pages of content up on our newly built website. I have one large problem
I am the only person visiting it. I must drive traffic in order to generate an income. Traffic
equals income.
As I continue to learn….I have found many ways to boost traffic and sales.
My first priority is to promote my
Lotto Magic lottery pool.
The first step I took in promotion was to simply add a signature to my e-mail. This is easily done by
clicking on tools in your e-mail program. Click the signature tab and follow the easy directions.
In my signature I added the link to my Lotto Magic page. I have several signatures set up
Including our website link and a link to my
SBI! website referral.
You will not believe how many visits you will get from the simple addition to your e-mail.
Another simple way to promote your site or product is Business Cards. This is not absolutely free
but it is close!
I found the website VistaPrint!
FREE Business Cards! WOW!
The free designs are really nice. Of course you may upgrade, the prices are very reasonable.
I ordered 250 cards for shipping only! That was less than $6.00.
VistaPrint is my new favorite website! Love those Freebies.
I keep a supply of cards with me at all times. I leave a few where ever I go. Many stores have bulletin boards. These are very good places to promote your website or product. When I shop I leave them on shelves. Leave a couple on the table at your restaurant. While shipping a package I place one on the table at the Post Office.
For years I have read online classified ads and money maker forums. This was the perfect place to
begin my promotion. After all I had stumbled upon Lotto magic while reading a Yahoo message board.
Lotto Magic has been one of my best money making finds.
Another reason I began here is the fact I have absolutely no advertising budget! Most online
classifieds and forums are free. Google free online classifieds, there are hundreds.

After posting only 18 free ads I have already signed up another Team Captain for my Lotto
Magic lottery pool. Free ads do work.
Most every night I post five to ten free ads on the internet. Now instead of promoting only
Lotto Magic, I also add a link to our website. How’s that for getting two birds with one stone?
This account includes all types of banners, links and widgets. I designed one
that would
only show my husbands items.
You can design links and widgets that will show only products that directly
relate to your website context.
As I have stated before most of this website stuff is waaaay over my head as
a beginner.
This account keeps up with your link activity in-depth. It will take me a while to
decipher all the reports, but give me another year, I may be a pro!
I was signing up as an eBay partner just to be able to link my husband’s items
to our website. Later, about a week after I had his page built. I went
to my eBay Partner account page to check my zero’s, but to my surprise we
had made $27.00!
From zero to $27.00 in about a week! If you sell anything on eBay, be sure
to sign up as an
eBay Partner.
It will be one more income stream to your website.Remember all those tiny amounts can add up to one big chunk!
We never knew how great the Internet could be until we signed up for High Speed Internet Service, Thanks Comcast!
