That's what this is here for, however if this is not what you are looking for I have provided a search bar for you below to continue your quest. |
Welcome to the world of the RagTag Market! |
So...First thing's First. The RagTag Market website in itself is NOT some hype for an internet marketing scheme. It is however information about many forms of advertising and generating traffic. I will even be as upfront with you as to tell you that Yes there is non-free information that is sold through this website. However, it goes into further details about the different forms of advertising and traffic gaining and how to get to and stay at the top of the game. There is SOME information here however that is not discussed in the further education manual. Many different forms of advertising will be discussed here (not taught, just discussed) I believe that once you are aware of the types of advertising you can simply use the search bar to look up some of these methods of advertising on internet, or even decide to pick up your own copy of the manual that is sold here TO learn the how's of generating incredible traffic. Now I promise you nothing more than information. I am not saying that by using these methods will you become the next gajillionaire from the internet, you could it's possible, but I can tell you that will proper education and the proper tools you CAN make a SUBSTANTIAL LIVING from this. WARNING: DISCLAIMER TO ALL OF THOSE WHO WANT EVERYTHING FREE Whoa! A bit direct there no? For all of you who are ONLY interest in (and are completely convinced and believe) that free pot of gold at the end of the internet rainbow, GET REAL! Get out, use the search bar now, that is NOT what I am helping you with! For all of you who are acctually INTERESTED in making a substantial income online please continue. As I said, I am not teaching you anything through this, I am simply making you aware of many of the successful ways to advertise and generate traffic to your website. If you are here and have acctually read this far I congratulate you on your eagerness to grow and expand your online business. These advertisement methods are NOT just for one type of business. They work for ALL types of business. So sit back, relax, and grab your favorite soda or beverage. Now, to go back to this "I want all the money and success for free" mentality. Let me ask you this.... DOES IT REALLY WORK LIKE THIS OFFLINE? Of course not right? If you called up your local newspaper, or a magazine or a radio station and demanded FREE prime advertisement they would laugh at you so hard you would probably shut yourself into a dark room and NEVER come out for the rest of your life. Now in the offline world advertising is incredibly expensive, it is slow, and sometimes it is not even effective. Now I am not implying that internet advertisement is not like this, some of it is, MOST of it isn't. Now.. THE MOST IMPORTANT VIRTUE OF ANY NETREPRENUER IS.... PATIENCE! That's right..patience is a virtue..Really I don't even know if that's spelled right but you know what I'm saying. Like any other business an online business DOES take time to grow. Now growth CAN happen rapidly IF you know how to advertise like a pro. Now, we're kinda taking a little side road here to discuss most of the "methods" and "systems" out there.. I can see your face now..turning red, the frustration making your blood pressure rise, relax my friend I have been there too..as a matter of fact it was NOT long ago at all.. I was just like you, blue in the face and sick of all the people online that were making all the money I wasn't. Now the biggest flaws I have seen in MOST of these "opportunities" is the market saturation, use of ancient methods, and plain and simple, LACK OF EDUCATION. I don't mean myself and schooling. I mean a lack of education on the "how-to's" of the business. A LOT of these people DON'T want you to know, they simply want YOU to pay THEM! Maybe you're already a member of a great work at home business and getting frustrated because your ads aren't bringing the traffic, or you blew it out last month but this month is a little lacky etc. etc. Thats really the main focus here on this site. To give you the INFORMATION to get you going in the RIGHT direction. Or maybe you're completely new to the whole making money on the internet concept. Again, this is all put together to get you the info to get you started. Now I'm not going to focus ONLY on traffic generation but on some basic money making concepts aswell. Now I am NOT going to share any marketing secrets, but I will be sharing some concepts and some places where you can go to begin immediately. However, at the end of all this if you get hit with the itch to REALLY LEARN these SECRETS and to REALLY LEARN THE WAY TO UTILIZE THE TRAFFIC GENRATING CONCEPTS provided here then please, please, please save yourself a LOT of TIME AND MONEY and simply come off the measly $20.00 and purchase the e-book at the end entitled SECRETS OF THE BIG DOGS. Now..some of you may be thinking Oh My God this is just some super long speach praising this product to suck me into buying something. Well...honestly.. I'm not trying to sell you neccessarily on the book, I am however trying to sell you on LEARNING. Learning the proccess, learning the secrets, learning HOW TO MAKE SOME MOOLAH! (Spell check please? There's an old gambling saying.. If you can't spot the sucker, you're the sucker. These marketers know this, and thats why you aren't making the money. Some of you may still be thinking yeah yeah I can still get ALL that info for free on some blogs. I'll tell you now that through all the blog searching I've found..The best one has been Blog About Your Blog. And its about blogging..not advertising..I've found some about advertising but they don't give you enough information. Like they cut it short because they really don't want you to know or whatever reason. Maybe they've been doing it so long they forgot how difficult it all is or that they just expect you to know. If you're like how I was, YOU DON'T KNOW!! And thats what the Secrets of the Big Dogs e-book is about. Equiping you with the information to get you going. THE RIGHT WAY! Of course they have a program, but you don't have to do it. You can even use ALL the information to promote your current business/businesses or whatever you want. It's updated once or twice a year to keep up with marketing trends and you only pay for it once. Great value, great deal and it costs less than a marketing book out of your favorite bookseller. Anyway.. on to the information I've promised and I hope it helps. Now the first thing I'm going to discuss is a simple money making strategy which you may, or maynot know about. Affilliate marketing. Look to the left of this page you are reading. See the advertisements? You've been looking at them the whole time. That's affilliate marketing. You simply put some ads on your website, people click on them. Every time someone clicks on the ad (and meets the requirements for a commission), you get PAID! Yeah, its really that simple. Most of your affilliate advertising is done on blogs. Its how the bloggers get paid the big bucks to just post whatever they want. It's how they pay for hosting and how A LOT of them pay their bills. Affilliate advertising when done on HIGH traffic websites pays very very well. But I'm selling a product myself, the LAST thing I want to do is send them to another site. Really now? What if you made money when they went to that other website? Now THAT'S not so bad right? That my friend is affilliate marketing. However there is a downside to it. You ARE NOT guaranteed that someone will click that ad, and if they do, you aren't guaranteed that they'll fulfill the requirements. So the BIG key here is TRAFFIC TRAFFIC TRAFFIC!!! The whole point of this page. To inform you on ways to get just that. ;) Affilliate advertising when done correctly is an incredibly powerful medium of making money. There are TONS AND TONS of home based business makers who's entire business is an affilliate marketing based business. They make money off your sign up and other companies pay you. So the only thing that they have to pay for is hosting fees. Pretty smart eh? However, most of these "companies" are advertising firms and want YOU to PAY even MORE for them to advertise your site for you. Mostly at a large cost, more than it would be for you to do it yourself. But..they don't supply you with the information to acctually advertise the site yourself. See where I'm going? It's very frustrating. However..for about $200 per month you can generate LOADS of traffic. And I will go into this further when I start talking about that. Which $200 a month is peanuts compared to the real world. Business offline is MUCH MUCH MUCH more expensive. This is the beauty of the internet..everything costs LESS! You just have to acctually KNOW what to do. The last piece and closer for this part of the page is that the biggest secret to affilliate marketing success is website content. DRIVING TRAFFIC!! Finally..the meat of the matter. Driving taffic to your site. The first way to drive traffic to your site is obviously search engines. Now..remember that comment I made at the very top about search engines only working 10% of the time? Well..really..they might only work 1% of the time. Stop the presses! Why? Out of billions and billions of web pages out there for nearly every category and out of all the search engines there..how many pages of search results do you really think most people are going to sort through? At most, I myself MIGHT go three (3) pages deep. That's it! A lot more people will only go off of that first page. Because that first page is USUALLY either what they are looking for, or is all the relevent search results. Even if the most wonderful and best thing they're looking for is 2,000 pages later. It's because these are the websites with the most traffic and content relevence that the search engine spiders find. That's why they get posted FIRST! Now..am I saying you're going to get to the top of the search engines? Not at all, most likely you never will. But that doesn't mean you can't drive LOADS AND LOADS of traffic. The second most effective form of advertising is through pay-per-click advertising. Such as google adwords, or adcenter at msn etc. There's a form for every search engine out there. Now..while you can get a TOP NOTCH RANKING in search engines THIS way, It's INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE!!!! Now..a little further into what it is for those that don't know, you just sign up at a pay-per-click service, make an ad, post your site, set your budget and it gets posted in search results. Not everytime, but as much as you pay for. There's usually a minimum bid for certain keywords though..It could possibly be $2.00 or more or less per click. Still doesn't sound so bad right? Oh and of course YOU ONLY PAY WHEN SOMEONE CLICKS ON YOUR AD! Incredibly awsome right? Now..to really have an effective pay-per-click campaign....you'll need to come off around $1,000 dollars, prefferably more PER MONTH! WHOA! expensive.. But it gives you front page exposure on the search engines. Really its not that bad. Just a little bit of my experience here, I put out $100.00 per monthfor a pay per click service before..that's a lot for the current paycheck I was working with. But it only gave me about 4 new leads per day. That really sucks on the web, you need hundreds, thousands of leads to make money right? And only 4 leads a day just isn't going to cut it. Especially if that is ALL of your traffic. The third form is third party advertising. Where you pay someone to advertise your site for you. May it be for a certain amount of leads or whatever their service is. This is usually really expensive too. The LEAST I've seen was for a few hundred leads and they charged about $100.00 dollars. And here's the kicker..I got the counter numbers, but NO results. Really I think they just hit refresh until the quota was met. I won't really go too much further into this simply because I think its a rip, you can get better quality for much less money. Number four is Social Networking sites such as myspace, facebook, forums etc. Of course if you already have one and it's getting the traffic, Go for it. These are mostly people that know you or have gotten to know you so why not advertise there? After all they already like you right? ;) Though it may cripple your credability with some of your readers, depending on what you're advertising, it could PAY OFF MAJORLY for you! Viral marketing and free advertising communities. Of course I do a little bit of this too. Viral ads and free ad communities are pretty much very similar. Some of you may be going You Idiot They're COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! However, I'm a normal, everyday guy and they pretty much seem the same to me. Viral marketing is usually what's called a pop under ad. And it advertises other websites. Meaning when people exit your site this ad pops up and advertises another site in the network. In return, on other people's sites your ad pops up and it could land you some traffic. On the other hand a free advertising network is usually an affilliate type ad that advertises other people's websites directly on your's. Usually these websites are within the same market as your website and in return for advertising their site, they advertise your site. Personally I've found this to be a little more effective than viral marketing. The People I use for Viral/Free Advertising Communities: Viral Marketing: http://MyViralads.com/ Free Advertising Network: http://www.adgridwork.com/ Now.. The following is a list of websites that specialize in quality leads, and tracking your ads. Of course they are all pay for services, however they give A LOT of BANG FOR THE BUCK! Each site is different and offers different things. But it is ALL beneficial. These sites are what I was talking about by do it yourself for only appox. $200.00 dollars per month and STILL get LOADS AND LOADS of that INVALUABLE resource called TRAFFIC!!! All you have to do is simple click the links provided to learn about each resource. Oh yeah, before I start..Remember that e-book I told you about? The Secrets of the Big Dogs?

As a matter of fact...the methods in this book are more than likely how I got you here! ;) Oh yeah, and remember that lack of education thing I talked about? Great programs you just don't know how to use them? Well..the traffic generating tools provided here are ACCTUALLY COVERED in this book. How to set them up, how to use them to promote whatever you want, the program potential, how it works, ALL OF THAT IS COVERED! So you don't HAVE to worry about that lack of education resource!
