If you have a blog you are probably looking for ways to market that blog. The first things that probably come to mind are how can you do this online. There are also a lot of ebooks and other blogs out there telling you exactly how to market your blog online. There is everything from article marketing to posting in forums. What a lot of people don’t think of is there is another way to market that not many people are even considering doing that you can take full advantage of right now. You can market your blog offline too. There are some very simple yet, not talked about ways ( from what I’ve seen anyway) too market and advertise your blog offline and be very effective.  So, what are some of these methods you may ask, well here they are:

1. Conventions or Conferences: If you see any of these two things taking place in your area it would be a very smart thing for you to attend. When you get there you may find that your one of the few with promotion of your blog or product in mind. You could even have a shirt printed with your blog URL on it.
2. Business Cards: This may seem like a no brainer, but how many people do you see doing this or talking about it for that matter? The great thing about business cards is you can virtually hand them out anywhere and to almost anybody. One thing you should keep in mind if your going to have some printed up is make sure they stand out and catch the eye. I have even seen business’s that have a board or a place specifically for people to post their business cards. Hell, throw them up in the air and let the wind catch them. ( Just kidding, don’t do this please.)
3. Postcards: You could have some eye catching post cards printed up and either pay to have them mailed out or mail them out yourself. The good thing about post cards is they don’t have to be opened and people will more than likely just throw them over by their computer were it can grab their attention.
4. Blogger Meet Ups: If there are any of these in your area I would take full advantage of showing up. Meeting up with other bloggers is a great way to make new connections and potential promoters for your blog.
5. Stickers: This is another great way to advertise your website or blog. You can put one on your car or I just recently read about a guy who brought some stickers to a gathering he attended and the ended up everywhere, on people and in pictures.
6. Offline Newsletters
7. Flyer’s
8. Newspaper Ads
9. Yellow Pages
10. Radio Advertising
11. Brochures
12. Classified Ads

Now I realize that these may cost anywhere from a little bit of money to a lot of money, but it may be something for you to think about in the future.

The best thing for you to do, especially if your new to making money online, is to just experiment with the least expensive of the ideas and put just a little money in to it to see if it’s going to stick. If it does then you can run with it and invest more money into it.

The main idea of this post is to get you to think outside of the box and not get stuck thinking that all your efforts have to be online. There is a whole market out there waiting for you to grab their attention in the offline world.

how-cbmall-creates-autopilot-income                  If you have been looking for ways to make money at home then you have most likely heard of Clickbank. If you haven’t heard of Clickbank let me tell you a little about it. Clickbank is a place where you can sell other peoples digital  products as an affiliate or you can sell your own digital products through Clickbank as a vendor. Being an affiliate is the easiest way to make money online. This is because you don’t have to have your own product. Producing a product can be very time consuming and people that are just getting started with online self employment want to make money as fast as they can. Learning to produce your own product comes with time and experience. So the best way to get started is to be an affiliate. Clickbank is the largest retailer in the world  for marketing digital products. You can set up a free account here.  Another good place to start is learning resell rights and how to rebrand books. Harvey Segal, who is the owner of “Clickbank Success Forum”, has written a series of books dealing with this subject inparticular. Just one of his many very informative books is ”Clickbank for Newbies”and gives you a detailed account of how to sell CB products and not lose commissions.  I have been doing very well with his products and the many tips and tools he provides. So if your interested in generating income online I would highly recommend being an affiliate and also looking into resell rights. Harvey Segal has said that if he had to start from scratch he would definitely start with resell rights and Clickbank is  the place to find a lot of ebooks and sofware with resell rights. OK, that’s a brief summary of CB and it’s benefits it’s now time to go over the “New Opportunity.”

The CB Mall

Now you know a little about Clickbank and how beneficial it can be I would like to tell you about a new opportunity that CB has come up with to help you make even more money online. I’m not sure how long it has been around but I am sure it hasn’t been long. It’s called the CB Mall and basically it’s a website with all the digital products being sold on CB. There are 40,000 digital products here and you can promote them with one link. The good thing about the CB Mall is, ( just like CB itself) is free to join. You can have your own CB mall for free. They do offer upgrades which helps you with getting traffic to your CB Mall among other great tools and tips. Just with the free membership you get:

• Affiliate center where you can create links with the “Link Builder.” This is great for the simple fact that you won’t be displaying  a long, ugly affiliate link when you promote the mall.  Not only can you create a link to the mall front but you can also create links to specific sections of the mall depending on the niche your promoting. Here is my link to the  sign up page. http://www.cbmall.com/to/club
• I have counted a total of 9 ebooks so far but there may be some that I have missed. One of these ebooks is even a rebrander that you can resell. It also comes with a rebranding tool and video of how to rebrand a book. Amazing!
• There is a support center where all your questions can be answered. If you can’t get them answered they have a reliable contact e-mail address.
• A section on CB Mall security and how to test the system.
• Features a video with targeted ideas on using CBmall with your existing web site business.
• Ideas for people without websites. There are many different ways to drive traffic to your mall.
• Banners and artwork
• Different ideas on niche marketing. No matter what your area of expertise you can make money online with this mall.
• How to buy something at your mall and collect the commissions.
• Product codes so you can track what you have sold if it’s a CB Mall product.

That’s just scratching the surface. There are so many more things that come with this opportunity it’s hard to remember all of them. Clickbank definitely knows what their doing and I’m sure this free offer isn’t going to last forever. So if you have been looking for an online self employment opportunity look no further. Your not going to break your bank account and you’ll have plenty of tools, ebooks and other amazing things to show you exactly what to do. I have been doing this for a little while now and know that some of these products that you will get for free other people are purchasing with a high price tag. All you need to do is look and see for yourself. Clickbank is just going to grow even bigger from this so don’t be surprised if two or three months from now you start hearing a lot more about this opportunity and there isn’t  free memberships available.

Getting Targeted traffic isn’t hard you just have to use the best resources.

What are the right places to go to get targeted traffic? I can definitely tell you the chat rooms are not the right place to be. If anyone tells you this hit them with a stick. The resources you want to use for getting traffic are:

1. Websites were you can submit articles or ezines such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com. Search engines love enzines and this is a really good way to get listed at the top if you use strong keywords with good placement. I wouldn’t over do it though, too many can also hurt you. Writing blogs or articles is something you get good at with time. You won’t just jump in and be a master. It takes some time to do until you get good at it. Try this tool for some help to start out if you want. Click Here.
2. Websites were you can write blogs and there are quite a few of these as well. Just do a search for writing blogs. Google also has a place where you can set up a free blog. Search engines will recognise these as well. Leaving comments to other articles or blogs is good too because you can leave your signature with a link in most instances.
3. Websites where  you can submit classified ads. A lot of these sites will let you submit ads for free, but I think it’s better to have a membership at one of them. Adlandpro has a lot of great tools and resources with they’re gold membership. You can also get some exposure and targeted leads from Orangeleads.com.
4. Social media is probably the fastest growing way to get traffic. You can learn a lot of different techniques for social media at InstantVideoEmpire.com. This is a great way to put yourself out there because people aren’t much into reading and it is easier to show people something than it is to tell them. Just imagine if you had to read a book before you started a new job instead of learning hands on.
5. Another way for the more advanced would be to partner with someone. Offer someone with a popular website a service or ebook you’ve written in exchange for some exposure. Even if your giving an ebook away you will still have links placed in it which will direct them back to your product or website. Make absolutely sure you offer something and don’t just expect something. That would be the quickest way to get dropped like a bad habit.  
6. Forums are another great way to get targeted traffic, because you can look for a particular topic to respond to. You can also find out what kind of questions people have and therefore acquiring topics for your blogs and articles. You are able to leave a signature with a link in it to a product or your website (or blog). You can also do this when you leave a comment. A valuable comment and or post by the way. I see some knuckleheads in the forums just plugging product and not providing any value ( I guess they haven’t heard of classified sites).If you have any questions your research just isn’t answering you will most likely find a helpful participant to give you the answer.                   

So as you can see, there are plenty of ways to get targeted traffic without having to spend a dime. If you are persistent with these resources you will eventually be in the top of the search engines and will be making a good living.
