I’ve known Denise Hall for years. To this day, she works with me over at My Wizard Ads.

Denise’s story is like many online. She started with nothing, built slowly, found her true calling, and is off and running. To this day, she works her buns off.

That’s also why today, while reading her current issue of Home Business On A Budget, the following struck me as something we all need to keep in mind. (more…)

We’ve been super busy adding a new service to My Wizard Ads.

An option that everyone always has for spreading the word about programs, products and services is ezine advertising. This area of marketing covers classified ezine ads and the often sought-after solo ad. Some guru and program owners may use the term “standalone ad,” but they are one and the same.

So with a new service in place – called the Solo Ad Explosion (packed with real value for the online advertiser) – it’s time to turn our attention to the lighter things in life.

Earlier today, my father sent me a link to a great news story. Granted, if it’s your neighborhood, you might not be that thrilled – time to keep Kitty and Rover in the house for a bit, but here’s the cute picture: (more…)

I need to start this post by telling you that we (Scott and myself) have been around for a LONG time. I know more about advertising and marketing online then any individual program/membership owner can ever tell you. I do this day in and day out, trying to help you make sense of what it is you are doing online – and how to get it done.

Scott, with a background long on years in affiliate marketing, is also an expert when it comes to marketing, advertising, and promoting online. We teamed up a few years back, (the best move either of us ever made!) and provide several online business resources tailored specifically to help you be successful online, too.

Each and every thing we do – whether planned that way or not – revolves around helping others be as successful as possible online (with offline ideas thrown in for good measure).

With that bit of hoopla and flag waving out of the way, today we’d like to help anyone who’s stuck in what can be a vicious, yet unnecessary, cycle… (more…)

Today’s resource is one that few bloggers think about when it comes to building their lists. The reason may be that not all co-ops except blogs, but My Wizard Ads is the exception to the rule.

When you have content worth sharing, and the ability to add new subscribers to your list yourself (even if the system kicks out that double opt-in request, that’s okay!), then you may be overlooking a resource specifically designed to get you new readers!

People flock to ezine advertising co-ops after joining programs or starting new websites. Most do not have their own list, or are looking to add to a list, or just need traffic. Sounds like all of us, right?

By providing a page on your blog where you display their classified for a set period of time determined by you, you also gain a new subscriber! How easy is that?!

Here’s our example of classified ads, because, of course, we belong to the My Wizard Ads co-op (okay more than belong ).

What we did was create an HTML page, and then use our feedburner feed to upload the information. Or you can just create a regular “PAGE” on your blog and edit and add to that. It’s really very simple.

By providing others a place on your blog – not even the main page mind you – you are doing a “community service” so to speak and increasing your mailing list.

Stop on by and read all about how to build your mailing list through the simple process of working with a great co-op!

Thanks for reading, and we hope to see you soon!

COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? Post ‘em here!

Today was one of those days where I found myself on the phone quite a few times talking with advertisers using our My Wizard Ads service.

Besides form submission issues, there was a striking thing each phone caller had in common.

Each person:

o Was new to the world of internet marketing
o Had yet to spend tons of money marketing
o Is in a prime position to take the bull by the horns and do something for themselves.

The chance I speak of is that of (more…)
