Hi guy’s, you know I am new to the marketing arena, which means my budget is not as high as the big boy’s yet.
In fact to be honest with you I don’t even have a budget yet I am flat broke! This is not a major set back for me at all as far as marketing my blog or my upcoming ad campaigns.
If you have not noticed yet or have been living under a rock, Social Media Sites like MySpace, Facebook and the Monster on the come up Twitter! In case your lost and have no clue how powerful and popular the traffic of Twitter can be, Celebrity Oprah Winfrey has acquired 226,864 followers in 1 day of sign up!
Think about the fact that this was done without a product launch or advertising campaign!
That means she now has 226,864 and growing people to advertise to for yep you guessed it, FREE!
Now the big news is that this is an Affiliate Marketers dream come true! Up until now the only way that I know to get quality leads and targeted traffic, was through PPC.
For the new guys like myself who are less familiar with that term PPC = Pay Per Click. Pay Per Click is exactly what the term stands for paid for ad campaigns keywords for targeted streams of traffic.
Now that big companies are competing for major keywords and terms with budgets spanning into the thousands per day it is almost impossible, to contend with the big boys for guys like me just joining the game or internet marketing.
So why not get Social and utilize the social media free traffic that can give me the same leads as paid sponsors?

It was said that haste makes waste and the early bird gets the worm. But I think the smart business man makes the sales and sales = income.
