Are you yelling to the crowds
By: Erol Alici
The majority of marketing newbies think that the louder they
"shout" the more people will listen to their message.
Nothing could be further from the truth, online marketing is
not about "yelling" to the crowds to visit your website. Yet
many newbie marketers visit forums and classified ad
sections to post their "scream" to the world.
Do you recognize titles like;
"GET RICH QUICK, VISIT www.somebody's_website.com now"
or
"JOIN ME TODAY AND MAKE MONEY, ITS FREE!"
Thats what i mean by "shouting", putting your text in
capital letters is called shouting as well as the style in
wich you write your ad like the examples i gave above.
Now take a look at 2 other examples;
"New Opportunity Shows YOU What It Really Takes To Build A
Business www.somebody's_website.com"
or
"Ever wanted to be a part of something BIG, this is your
change, visit www.somebody's_website.com and take your Free
tour Today!"
You probably noticed two important things;
1- I did not "shout"
and
2- I did not make claims like "make money for free" etc.
People hate yelling, face it if you would walk in a mall and
you where aproached by somebody walking by you that shouted
"VISIT MY WEBSITE!!!!!" would you visit that persons
website, or would you stay clear of that person, should not
be too hard to answer right?
Well, posting your add in a similar way on a forum or
classifiedpage is no different. Therefore, when you want to
get your message across, do it without shouting at people.
You will achieve far better results, trust me.
