Notice anything? That’s right, Online Brand kills all three… Why? Because building a brand online is a hard but rewarding task. I believe in this sense branding can be best defined as: A traditional advertising method used to create an acquired response from a target audience based on cumulative impressions and positive reinforcement. Branding is geared towards increased product or company name awareness and gaining lifelong customers.

Wow, Lifelong customers… Can anyone think of great online brands? Google, Amazon, Ebay… These companies provide an excellent service and acquire life long customers because they constantly being branded as useful, reliable, friendly, etc. These companies were built online, so Online Branding was a must for them, but now we are seeing many larger corporations seeing the benefits of online branding and they are willing to pay big bucks!

What does this mean for us? More $.

These companies will continue to look for seasoned professionals in all aspects of internet marketing: Search Engine Mkt, Social Mkt Optimization, Search Engine Opt, Viral Mkt, and any other methods can be used to reel in a consumers trust and devotion. Now is the time to develop your consulting side of your business. Take out an hour a day to work on some powerful sales letters, presentations, and business techniques that you can sale to these companies with large marketing budgets, I know I will. And if you don’t have knowledge in all the fields then develop a consulting network of 5-6 professionals who work together to provide excellent advice and offer [expensive] services!

1. Targeted Traffic
2. Cheap Traffic

Many services exist that provide both of these but one that I would like to mention, in particular, that is AdEngage.

AdEngage is an advertising network that displays over 10 billion ads every month (seems to be mostly Humor sites). The reason I choose to mention such a service is because of the excellent pricing for ads on many publisher’s websites, but first a little more info. AE offers two basic ad purchasing methods, per site and RON (run on network CPC). If you decide to use AdEngage, then ALWAYS go on a per site basis. Also AE allows you to upload a picture to be served next to your ad, how sweet. Now when searching for a site to publish an ad upon, use the advanced search feature. I always pick a site with high U.S usage, high English speaking, and higher Alexa rank. Now for the fun part! When looking for through the sites you can find sites that have eCPC (estimated cost per click) at $.01, yes one cent! I have actually gotten an eCPC at about 1/5 of one cent.

The checkout for AE is also really simple. It allows you to make different campaigns so you can easily manage your advertising and repurchase, with… PAYPAL! Plus the stats are almost real time reporting and give simple, yet informative information on the performance of your ad. My advice is to buy advertising of 5-10 sites for one week and then repurchase the top performers for a month (which gives you a little discount). Oh, and be ready for a little international traffic as well.

So, if you do any kind of internet advertising you need to check out AdEngage. I have had excellent success there in affiliate marketing and their user base is growing daily so try it out!

So the two (very simple) methods I’ll use are…

1. Buy Flyers
2. Bribe students that run high member groups

I’ll also use a redirect to track the Flyers so I can differentiate between the referrals, also I will be using Google Analytics to track the results. I’ll start my research tonight and begin emailing admins tomorrow. Till then, adieu.
