Webinars and communities

There are several active online communities where members meet in online conference rooms, called webinars, and listen to or watch presentations on business opportunities. These are excellent internet advertising specialties as you are presenting to people in real time. Work Digital has prepared presentations you can use in some of these programs.

Adblasters and Email or Text Adblasters

Adblasters are internet advertising specialties that send your email or text messages to members of a list or to something like a group of message and text boards. Can be either text or link marketing venues.

Classified Adboards

Places where you place a short text message and your link. The boards are viewed across the internet by the internet public in several ways: 1. By going to that adboard. Members who post at the ad board can see your listing. 2. People can also find your ad on the Search Engines using what are called Key Word Searches. People do read and respond to classified ad posts, making these excellent places to start with. This is mostly a link marketing resource.

Manual Surf traffic exchanges

A type of traffic exchange where a member must click on something to move the surf from site to site. The strength of this type of exchange is that members are required to click on something, thus viewing your site in the process. You add your link to this venue making this a Link Marketing resource.

Pro FFA Sites

FFA stands for Free For All. These ad boards started in the late 1990's as an evolution of Guest Sites. Today, people post their links free. Pro members can then send their text ads to those who posted to the boards email address, making this aspect of the FFA site an email marketing venue.

Safelists

Safelists are venues in which the members send their ads to other members' email boxes. Legitimate safelists are double opt in - meaning members joined and agreed to receive email to send email and then verified or validated their email with the list. Safelists are probably one of the most well known, popular and well used form of can-spam compliant venues on the internet. You join and then send email to the members with your links asking them to watch the movie and sign up. Safelists are email marketing advertising specialties.

Safeadlists

Safeadlists and Master Safeadlists are email-style advertising venues that do not involve email going to members inboxes. Instead the text ads are rotated on viewer similar to a manual surf exchange.

Most of these internet advertising venues not only show your sites off to the readers and members, they also help you build what is called a contact list. A contact, sometimes called a 'lead', is a person who has requested more information from you usually in response to what they saw on your ad and link you posted to an advertising site. Your work digital back office has ebooks and downloads to assist you in your contact list.

You will note that many of the online marketing venues you will start out with use text or commercial email ads. As you start posting those ads, and sending out your commercial email, here are some basic tips on email writing:
