Nowadays there are sites that permit you to place your ads there it is enough to type the necessary catchword as “french classified or advertising in france” and you will get a list of online classified sites to attach your advertising to. Do not think that those good people do it free for you just because they are so kind and want to help you. They are doing it for their enormously big financial reasons. Only in France yearly income from Google has exceeded 800 million euro. Advertizing is the engine of commerce thus it is the engine of really big money.

So if you want to hand your advertising down to the audience only of your town and its suburbs then in this case a local newspaper will be just what you need, but if the cherished ambition of yours is to inform about your business to a much larger audience then Internet is the area for you to deal with.

Air Miles Example Company Profile

Make sure you use the “Full View” option so your company details will be open to the public. Well known companies will use their own company name because it is recognized. However if you are a small company use a relevant keyword and new people will find out about you and what your company does. Also since Google gives LinkedIn profiles a higher ranking usually this will help with search engines finding your website.

Step 2: Promote your company profile

Since your company profile usually has details about your company and employee contacts people will be able to find someone they can reach to find more about you. Think about ways of promoting this URL, in company communications and documentation, email, etc. You can think of your company’s profile page as a business directory of sorts. Such as looking for an Account Manager or a Sales Rep to get in touch with, luckily they will all be listed on your LinkedIn company profile page.

Step 3: Use keywords to define and identify your specialty

Looking at the example from Step 1 above, Specialties: loyalty, retail, marketing, rewards, data, measurement

This makes total sense for the industry that Air Miles is trying to reach and the keywords that resonate with potential clients looking for those type of specialty areas.

Step 4: Establish industry leadership and a respected resource for information

Updating your profile page with new content is easy if you link it to new blog postings (tools are available for integrating these together automatically), allowing your profile page to include recent information from your marketing website or blog will help it stay fresh. Also when new people search their contact network for contacts in these areas your information and contact details will be front and center.

Step 5: Add a profile picture and maybe even your company products and services

Don’t miss an opportunity to brand your company logo on this prime online real estate. Upload your company logo, address details, phone number, and tag line as one large image.

Doing this will make you look more credible and professional.

Why would you want to do this?

You want to get noticed by more people, and help search engines to find your website. Adding your website link to your profile will help search engines scanning through the LinkedIn landing pages to find your website. Perhaps even find your blog posts if you are following Step 4 above.

Have you ever browsed through YouTube and wondered “How do I save YouTube videos on my computer?” At some point in time while browsing through YouTube you will discover a movie that you would really love to download and own so you could watch it anytime you desired. The problem is, YouTube does not have an easy to use “download” button or link so if you want to save your favorite YouTube videos on your computer, you will need to find another method to do it.

If the other thought that crosses your mind is “What do I do after I save YouTube videos on my computer?” here are a few suggestions. You can share the YouTube video with family and friends, load it to your own website, save it on your computer, store it on disk or even burn it to DVD! In fact, you can do pretty much anything you desire, once you have obtained the file. Isn’t that tempting!

The first thing you will need to do is to learn how to save YouTube videos on your computer.

Do I Need Special Software Or Programs In Order To Download Video From YouTube?

This is completely up to you! There are numerous websites that allow you to take a link from a page where the YouTube video you want is stored and to simply enter it into their website. They will then provide a download link so that you can download the video.

Once you have this video downloaded you will then need to seek out an Internet Video Converter that can convert FLV files. A FLV file is a flash based video file that YouTube videos are stored in. Therefore, unless you have a FLV video player you will need to convert the FLV file into a video that will play in your default video player.

There are a variety of free to use Internet Video Converters that you can find on various websites on the web. You can also purchase these converters at various electronic and department stores. Many websites also sell these converters.

Additionally, there are many Internet Video Converters that will even download the videos from YouTube for you. This means that you won’t have to use another website to download the file. These types of Internet Video Converters do all the work for you.

It should also be noted that there are many websites that will download a YouTube video for you and will also format the video for you. This makes downloading YouTube videos a very easy and hassle free process. However, most of these websites will limit the amount of the videos that they allow you to download a day. Therefore, you may have to purchase a membership to these websites if you plan on downloading beyond their limit each day.

When you want to save YouTube video to your computer all you have to do is decide which of the above methods works for you. Once you find a website or Internet Video Converter that you are satisfied with, be sure to bookmark the website you got it from, so you can continue to use their services in the future. Additionally, you will want to keep them bookmarked incase they offer upgrades of their programs or services.

Vehicle wrapping – covering a vehicle in a large format graphic design – made the scene in the 1990s and has seen tremendous growth in the last decade in terms of annual dollars spent in the industry.  That’s because more and more business are advertising with vehicle wraps.

“A vehicle wrap can generate the same amount of exposure for a giant telecom company that it generates for a local smoothie shop,” says Tonya Severance, head of marketing at B2B Media, Inc., an advertising firm specializing in vehicle wraps that offers nationwide service to any size fleet.  “And since that giant telecom company can probably afford to purchase outside cover ad space in a popular magazine and that local smoothie shop might have to settle for a black and white 1/16th of a page in the back, vehicle wraps seem to have leveled the advertising playing field.  I think a lot of savvy business owners are taking advantage of that.”

Whether your company is considered small, medium-sized, or very large, there is a benefit in wrapping your vehicles, no matter their number.  Below is a breakdown of the top industries that benefit the most from vehicle wrap exposure and the strategy behind their campaigns.

TV, Radio, and Other Media – Their vans and trucks are always circulating the city for events and editorial features. It’s a very common occurrence to see vehicle wraps in this industry and it’ makes sense since TV and Radio often change their image.  Also, stations are usually local and so is their audience.

Courier and Delivery – The vehicles in this industry get a wide range of exposure on a daily basis because the vehicles are always on the go!  And like local TV and radio outlets, their services are regional and no advertising dollars are wasted on non-quantifiable leads.

Food and Beverage – Caterers and distributors of all sizes are missing out if their vans and trucks aren’t wrapped up.  On display at events or at a local stop light these vehicles are prime candidates for wrap advertising success.

Service Industry – Any company that makes residential home or office calls to service or repair anything, should have a wrap on the vehicle they take to the call.  Large or small, these companies reap the benefits of the name recognition generated from their wraps.  Examples – heating and air, electrical, plumbing, remodel, landscaping, etc.

Specialty Businesses – A specialized gift boutique or flower shop with a catchy name might not get a lot good PR from a Yellow Page listing, but wrapping the owner’s or employees’ vehicles will get the folks around town talking and wondering what their all about.

Vehicle wraps have become a proven part of any successful company’s marketing and advertising campaign.  Dollar for dollar small and medium sized businesses can get just as much bang for their buck as deep pocketed outfits with millions to spend on advertising, and a single wrap costs a fraction of what a well placed television, radio or newspaper spot would cost.

“Plus, with a vehicle wrap, you’re not paying a recurring monthly advertising fee,” adds Ms. Severance.  “It truly is one of the most cost efficient methods of advertising available.”

A second trend happening now is the openness of mass collaboration, social media, internet, and technology.

The third trend is unfortunately a floundering US economy.

Over the next decade life and business will be changed due to these 3 trends. Many behemoth companies will perish. Many up and coming companies will excel. All currently existing companies including your home based business must see and take into account these major trends to stay on the edge, and to prevail through the next 10 years.

Let us take a closer look at the first trend of the rising powers of India and China. This is important because India represents 1.1 billion people and China represents 1.3 billion people. India’s well-educated, young population has embraced state-of-the-art computer and information technologies, making their country one of the most important high-tech hubs in the world. This will enable you to soon be 1 click away from a large percentage of their entire population.

India’s information technology and computer companies in Bangalore have been named as the world’s second Silicon Valley. The expanding middle class, robust military establishment and the country’s increasing sophistication in high-technology are shaping India as one of the rising political, economic and military powers. China is a different story, but the rise in both is inevitable. Knowing about it and taking action is important to anyone looking to build their network to dramatic sizes.

In regards to the second trend, the rapid growth of technology. There are many causes for this, the major one being the usage of mass collaboration. Did you know that Wikipedia recently had its 10 millionth article posted? They do not have employees doing those posts. Those post are done only by volunteer editors. Do you know how many people have created Myspace, Facebook, and hundreds of other websites into what they are today? Hundreds of Millions. If you are on the internet, you have most likely taken part in this mass collaboration consciously or not.

Mass collaboration is happening not only on the internet, it is happening among regular companies as well. Boeing, BMW, and PG&E are only a few companies utilizing the powers of the masses. As this technology grows ever stronger, knowledge will excel, and those utilizing these mass collaborative technologies will see quick success. This trend is backed by freedom of choice and true winning ways of doing business. Companies utilizing these means of doing business are opening their doors, and succeeding at dramatic rates compared to being closed and only relying on internal networks.

You can take advantage of today’s remarkable technology and mass collaboration in multiple ways for example, you can take part in social networks, in social forums, and through creating your own small business groups to help everyone succeed faster. We live in a WE world, not a ME world. The internet has put us in a place where we can be in touch with almost anyone at any time. Because of the rapid pace of innovation, technology is improving faster than most people can handle. There is no reason to let this hold you back from learning.

The third trend is a floundering US economy. Will it turn? I have hope, as do many others.

Would you invest your life savings on hope? Your retirement? Your dreams? Would you bet your entire future on that 4 letter word. I will not, and I recommend that you take the action required to learn the skills you need to push through and become self sufficient, and non reliant on outside sources for your future. You have to in a sense learn to become your own bank. The currently failing economy got many sparks from the falling housing and mortgage market, as well as continual sparks from layoffs and downsizing of multiple large companies. There are tons of ways to get ahead out there, and due to all the positive trends previously discussed the opportunities are endless.

Network marketing is one great way to get ahead, if the sustained time and effort is put forth, success will be achieved. With all of the trends above in mind, a network marketing business makes a lot of sense.

In closing, it is important to note that these 3 massive trends are not separate from one another. The rising powers and capabilities of the world are exponentially increased with the fast paced innovations in technology, which are all rapidly increased by the powers of mass collaboration. The floundering economy of the US can take these trends into account and get better quicker by utilizing these trends, or as a whole. Or, as a whole the US economy may not take the trends into account, and therefore will deplete itself to worse conditions.

The purpose of this article is by no means political in nature. Partly, the purpose is to help you open your eyes, and to inspire you to look deeper into these trends. At large, the main purpose of this article is to demonstrate that IF you learn, take into account, and go into action mode in regards to these massive trends, the probabilities for your success have never been as good.

Does it work?Well, did you know that a single advert, properly targeted, with the right headline and offer, costing say £200, can bring returns of perhaps 1000% or more within days?

Advertising can be one of the most cost effective ways to generate new enquiries. Or it can be a complete waste of money.

What makes a successful advert? Quite simply – one that gets results.

I advocate that EACH advert has to be accountable – i.e. if you place an advert it must do one of two things:

1. Make a sale

2. Get someone to contact you to find out more

And, if your advert doesn’t do either of those you are wasting money.

Take a look at most adverts. They are all very similar. They have a big headline (usually the company name), a great logo, they list the products or services on offer, there might be a photo or two, maybe a strap line – something like “you can always be assured of a great service”, “a superb range”, “free quote”, etc

Have a look at your local newspaper now – am I right?

I know that most of these adverts do not work. I know that, because when my clients start to monitor where their enquiries come from, they realise that most of their new enquiries are through referrals or from the sign writing on their vans. The sales they do get from the newspaper or magazine advertising do not even cover the cost of the adverts – let alone make a profit. Now, I’m not advocating that you go out and cancel all your adverts. However there are some simple steps you can take to make your advert more effective:

1. Before placing your advert, decide what you want your prospect to do. Do you want them to: buy something from you, call for more information or visit your website? An advert which is trying to sell something will be very different to one simply asking a prospect to call for more information.

2. Your entire advert should be devoted to getting your prospect to take the next step. You need to give them all the information they need to do so. If you want the prospect to buy something you need to highlight all the benefits of your product or service, and overcome all the likely objections so that they can make an informed decision. Won’t it be too wordy? Well, would you tell a sales person to go and visit a prospect and say you’ve got 20 seconds to persuade this person to buy your product? No, of course not, you wouldn’t put him or her under that much pressure. So why put yourself under that pressure in trying to sell something in a tiny advert.

3. People do not buy newspapers or magazines to read the adverts – they buy them for the news and articles. The more your advert looks like an editorial feature – the more it will be read. So disguise your advert – make it look like a news article.

4. Try a 2 step approach. Advertising can be very expensive – so don’t even attempt to sell in a tiny advert – offer your prospect some free information in exchange for contact details – e.g.:

Homeowners Decorating Guide. For your FREE guide to choosing colour combinations of paint, tiles and wall paper Visit www…

How to sell your house faster and for more money? Call 0800 … for your free report and audio CD.

Then, when you send your free information – include your sales literature detailing all the benefits of your product or service. You now have a qualified lead and have plenty of time and opportunity to follow up and make a sale.

5. Have a compelling headline – your company name is not a headline – people don’t care what you are called or how long you have been in business – they just want to know what you can do for them. Your headline should be the biggest benefit you offer prospective customers.

6. Test & Monitor each and every advert you run. Most businesses don’t monitor their adverts or sales promotions – they continue to run the same advert over and over – regardless of whether it pulls for them. Did you know that a change in headline has been tested to increase the response of an ad by up to nineteen times?

7. Once you’ve found an advert which works continue to run it until it stops generating a profit. Don’t stop it just because you’re bored with it and want to change it. Remember that you may see your advert every day – but your prospects are seeing it for the first time.

There you have it – 7 steps to successful advertising. Good luck.

In 1980 is was Mary Kay Corporatio

In 1990 it was Tahitian Noni International

All of these companies made it to the billion-dollar mark. The advantage of course was being in a company like these at the beginning, being in at the ground floor. That’s where the true fortunes are made with the top network marketing companies.

For a company to become the next billion-dollar company what has to be in place, (besides a crystal ball)? The companies’ note above had a number of things in place that we can look at to see how they made it to the top. Things like the management team, funding and a good compensation plan. But the one thing that took them to the top was their product(s). Their product and the timing that product came to market.

When the timing and a great product are combined, it can make you a fortune. What does timing mean. It means getting placed before a “trend” actually becomes a “trend”.

As an example, lets look at how the baby boomers have influenced the market since the 1950′s. There are many trends, but probably the largest trend to ever exist are how the baby boomers affected the market place.

It all started with baby food. There were billions of bottles of baby food sold during the 1950′s. Next it was clothing, shoes and games. As the boomers got older, they wanted transportation, so the auto industry took a huge increase. The housing market came next and this is an excellent example of how great and how devastating trends can be.

In the mid 1970′s to the early 1980′s, the globe experienced the great housing boom that has ever been repeated since. The boomers were at the age where they wanted their own homes and their own families. What happened next though? It was the real estate fallout because in the late 1980′s the boomers were not buying the homes any longer. Real estate developers and builders did not see this coming and were significantly hurt by this fact.

We are now in the mutual fund and investing boom, health and wellness, retirement, estate planning to name just a few.

Go back and look at the top network marketing companies listed at the beginning. What did these companies have in common with their products? The products were consumable; products that are needed practically every day.

Out of the current trends noted directly above, mutual fund and investing boom, health and wellness, retirement, estate planning, the only one, which is truly consumable, is the health and wellness portion.

Currently, the boomers are roughly between ages 43 and 60 and their numbers are close to a billion people. That’s a lot of buying power for this expected exploding trend of health and wellness. To use a term from the 1960′s: “a generation that swore it would never get old” doesn’t want to.

We can ask ourselves “what are the top network marketing companies?” But really we should be asking ourselves” what is the next top network marketing company?” Find the answer to that and you’ll find yourself a chance at a legacy position in that company.
