Is it possible to advertise in many other ways? If so, how? How does the company know you have recommended someone? Any info you know would be so appreciated. Thankyou

Typically, sales are tracked by the provider of the affiliate program through a special tracking code embedded in the links of affiliates. Some programs even offer up to 30-day cookies such as Amazon affiliate program so the sale can be credited to the affiliate even though the sale was not immediate when the visitor clicked on the link. Without the embedded code, affiliate program managers will not be able to track the sale, and will not be credited to the affiliate.\n\nI think website is a must-have before joinining affiliates. Plus, you won't even be approved because you will need to give your website URL to apply. They need to know that your website fits their product well

I guess that this is a mlm company. There's is risk that you will lose your friends. My advice is not to try. Nothing comes in easy.

this is a place to give other people advice. if they wanted more information from you, they can always send you a private email. \n\njust tell them about the product only if you have experience with it. it probably seems like you have accidentally solicited spam and advertisement. now, you know not to do it again. \n\nI'd be angry too.

I suggest that you put up a web site and register it with all major search engines. DO NOT spam people with advertisements in their e-mail box. I refuse to purchase any item from any company that does so, and so do a lot of others. Ask customers to refer their friends. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. This has been proven by Waffle House, which has only ONE ad in the entire nation, and it's not even their ad....it's a hotel that offers free breakfast at Waffle House.

One of the best advertising things you can do is go into forums and chat rooms that are based on consumers of your product (i.e., if you sell shampoo, go to hair care forums) and chat with people about what you do. Be careful to observe forum policies, but most will let you tell about yourself, even if you can only say hello and add a line with your signature that links to your webpage. Consider reciprocal links (you allow folks to put a link or your site, and you get one on theirs) and web rings. Mostly, it just takes time, time for the search engines to find you, time to build a business of any kind.\n\nGood luck, and don't give up. It takes about two years to really launch a business.\n\n~Tia~

Business is all about visibility. The more you are visible, the more business you have. I presume that you know that this is the fundemental rule behind advertising. \n\nNow... for your business... I think you are targetting small scale customers (or customers within a small locality). So trying to list your business in a google search or such enterprise site might be a waste of money. \n\nThe question is how will you then market your business. You have to take an active role in promoting the business. It is self initiative. How will others know about your business if you don't tell. A few ways that you should improve your sell is... \n1. Attach a signature in all your mails with your website URL. Not just tradeall.in Make it the full like eg: http://tradeall.in\n2. Make sure your website is available 24x7. I checked your website and got a MYSQL error. This will give a negative effect for your business. For this, I suggest you should host your website with a reliable external ISP. You might need to pay some money. Remember.. There could be people who provide service for cheap cost. If you pay peanuts you will get monkeys. \n3. Your namecard/businesscard should print your website address. \n4. Try to get an advertisement through the mobile service providers. It can be as simple as a banner outside their office or having a small advertisement printed in their brochure. [You can even offer them that you will take the brochure print charges for these companies in a particular location.. a win-win deal\n5. Last but not the least... the most effective advertisement is the satisfied customer. If your staff is going to deal with your customer in an unpleasant way, be sure the customer will never refer another one. See the success of website 'Google'. With no advertisement they became the market leader. The reason is short and simple. Satisfied customers.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, you may want to just sign up with someone like LinkShare, who place advertisers' banners on publishers' websites.  It's called "Affiliate Marketing", and  you become an "affiliate" to the advertisers.  Some webmasters are able to make thousands in this market, by selecting the proper products that pertain to their website.\n\nThe advertisers pay the publishers a commission on actual sales that are generated once a customer has clicked through your site.\n\nHere's the link:\nhttps://ssl.linksynergy.com/php-bin/reg/sregister.shtml?offerid=7097&mid=560&siteid=bYFJMzuGq8M-iOsgvF&no_r=1\n\nIt costs nothing to join, and you have the option whether to place any ads or not.  It has advertisers such as Walmart, among many others.\n\nIf you need more info on others, take a look here:\nhttps://ecommbiz.net/Affiliate_Marketing.html\n\nGood luck, I hope this helps.

Not knowing what kind of business you're in does hurt a bit, but one simple way to increase referrals is to reward for them - and not just a customer bonus, but for your business partners too.\n\nA simple question you need to know the answer to: "how much am I willing to pay to get a new customer?"\n\nThen instead of rejecting "any of the media" you have a solid basis to evaluate "did this particular media or campaign bring in customers above or below that cost?"\n\nThere's more but that's a start. Good luck!

See the response of BigChief above.  Just because they are advertising a product doesn't mean they have entered into a binding contract with you.  A contract isn't formed until an offer has been made and then accepted.  An ad is not an offer, but an invitation to make an offer.  Lame, I agree.

People want to see advertising that is entertaining or informative, and they want it to be something they are interested in. The internet will make this more and more possible, especially web 2.0 sites that gather limited user interest information and can deliver targeted ads. Affiliate marketing also makes this possible. I noticed that your service listing doesn't cover affiliate marketing, you should contact us sometime at http://www.kowabunga.com .

The Bottom Line About Multilevel Marketing Plans\n\nMultilevel or "network" marketing plans are a way of selling goods or services through distributors. These plans typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you'll receive commissions - for your sales and those of the people you recruit to become distributors. These recruits sometimes are referred to as your "downline." \n\nSome multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. However, others are illegal pyramid schemes. In pyramids, commissions are based on the number of distributors recruited. Most of the product sales are made to these distributors - not to consumers in general. The underlying goods and services, which vary from vitamins to car leases, serve only to make the schemes look legitimate. \n\nJoining a pyramid is risky because the vast majority of participants lose money to pay for the rewards of a lucky few. Most people end up with nothing to show for their money except the expensive products or marketing materials they're pressured to buy. \n\nIf you're thinking about joining what appears to be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan, take time to learn about the plan. What's the company's track record? What products does it sell? Does it sell products to the public-at-large? Does it have the evidence to back up the claims it makes about its product? Is the product competitively priced? Is it likely to appeal to a large customer base? How much is the investment to join the plan? Is there a minimum monthly sales commitment to earn a commission? Will you be required to recruit new distributors to earn your commission?\n\nBe skeptical if a distributor tells you that for the price of a "start-up kit" of inventory and sales literature - and sometimes a commitment to sell a specific amount of the product or service each month - you'll be on the road to riches. Often consumers spend a lot of money to "build their business" by participating in training programs, buying sales leads or purchasing the products themselves. Too often, these purchases are all they ever see for their investments. \n\nYour Responsibilities\nIf you decide to become a distributor, you are legally responsible for the claims you make about the company, its product and the business opportunities it offers. That applies even if you're repeating claims you read in a company brochure or advertising flyer. The Federal Trade Commission advises you to verify the research behind any claims about a product's performance before repeating those claims to a potential customer. \n\nIn addition, if you solicit new distributors, you are responsible for the claims you make about a distributor's earnings potential. Be sure to represent the opportunity honestly and avoid making unrealistic promises. If those promises fall through, remember that you could be held liable. \n\nEvaluating a Plan\nThe FTC suggests that you use common sense when evaluating a multilevel marketing opportunity and consider these tips as you make your decision: \n\nAvoid any plan that includes commissions for recruiting additional distributors. It may be an illegal pyramid. \n\nBeware of plans that ask new distributors to purchase expensive products and marketing materials. These plans may be pyramids in disguise. \n\nBe cautious of plans that claim you will make money through continued growth of your downline, that is, the number of distributors you recruit. \n\nBeware of plans that claim to sell miracle products or promise enormous earnings. Ask the promoter to substantiate claims. \n\nBeware of shills - "decoy" references paid by a plan's promoter to lie about their earnings through the plan. \n\nDon't pay or sign any contracts in an "opportunity meeting" or any other pressure-filled situation. Insist on taking your time to think over your decision. Talk it over with a family member, friend, accountant or lawyer. \n\nDo your homew

The better business bureau would be a good place to start not only do they have businesses outside the Internet but they also have it for businesses within the Internet everyone trust them and they pick reputable places. Usually if you talk to a manager of a major business's in the area your serving and offer cash to have their employees do this they will. Another thing I have seen where with spring break is out get a few kids together pay them a few buck to put the advertisement on the windshields in a major shopping area. When I see that and don't get one I get upset...lol. sometimes I'll even stoop so low is to take one off somebodies windshield!

Get your company listed in all the free directories that you can find.  When you come across a particularly good directory with a lot of traffic, pay a little extra for the enhanced listing.\n\nSetup a basic Web site with product/service and contact information.\n\nWhat industry do you serve?  I might be able to give you more specific advice.

I do Xango.  I tell people about it only when I hear that they have a health ailment.  If they don't ask for more info, I leave it alone.  I am NOT pushy.  It can help so many things it sells itself.  I don't need to push it.  People try it once and just keep ordering, and sometimes they start to sell it too and I make money from their sales.  It is pretty lucrative, especially when they sign up someone else.  There really is nothing wrong with MLM, it seems to work - the @sses leave it alone after they have bugged to many of their family and friends without sellling anything, but the good ones just keep quietly chugging along....

There could be some objects which could be sold this way. Maybe car parts, household chemicals, food, records - something the client already knows. But not everything because you have to look at pictures to make up your mind. And the catalogue has to be ordered, not sent around to everyone because thats spamming. As to getting people to like your product - advertise! Why don't you tell them why YOU would like this method and be honest, this will work the best. As for the cost of the service: in our country sms is not so cheap. And what about the length of the messages? Then you'll have to send many messages and that would be annoying to the receiver. Anyway - if you feel you are the only one who likes the idea - maybe its not such a good idea? Have another idea?
