Growing Your Business and Apsense: For Beginners In A Nutshell ~*~

 Please feel free to add your ideas too, by posting a comment(s) to this blog. Your input is greatly appreciated!!!! We all have so much to share and learn from one another!

1. Go on an Exploration

 Explore Apsense. See all the great things that it has to offer.Take a good look around.  Visit others profiles and Buisiness Centers, to get great ideas and  inspiration for setting up your very own Business Center.

Now that you have joined Apsense, be sure and set up your Profile and your Business Center as soon as possible.

Invite some New Contacts. 

There is a great sections for Asking questions too.  Just go to the orange Ask! Tab above.

The folks here at Apsense are so wonderful too!

Be sure and go to the tab above, on Apsense, That says Getting Started.

Here is the link.

2. Advertise on Safe List.

There are plenty of free ones out there. You can also take a few minutes to read others ads, and accumulate points that you can use to list your own ads for free.  I do recommend safe list that have internal ads, so that you don't have to feel up your mail box.  You can also set up a "spare" email box strictly for your safe list ads. Do a google search for safe list, or check out some of the great sources that other Apsense Members are using.

3. Do you ebay?

 I'm an ebayer, thought I would throw this tip in. Do you ebay? You can add your URL of your business. A Me page can be created whether your a buyer, seller, or both. There is a section provided on your "Me" page called Add your favorite links. I've noticed that so many ebayers do not take advantage of setting up their Me page.  It's a great feature to use.  Ebay also added a section for you to be specific about who you are and what you sell, collect..etc.  It's called "My World".  Be sure and take full advantage of this too!  It's all at your finger tips just for being an ebayer!

4. SEO (Search Engine Optimiaztion)

Since were not really suppose to advertise on Marketing Tips Blogs, I'll be a good girl..lol. There are great SEO's out there that will blast your ad to litterally 100's to 1,000's of potential referals. Worth checking into.

5. Mail Signature:

Create a signature in your mail. This way you are not spamming. Provide a short comment and the link. I have a signature in every email that I send out, that just says for an example, "Save Money and Earn Money for free", and then my personal invitation URL.

6. Socialize!

There are so many social networks popping up everywhere. And of course, right here on Apsense! If you have not created your own Business Center here at Apsense yet, please do take a look at others. The tools provided for setting up your Business Center on Apsense are very user freindly! The Business Center feature here on ApSense is fantastic!

Remember etiquette!  I like to say hello when I accept a new contact on Apsense.  I try to always drop a quick thank you note, right after accepting them.  Take a look at their page, when an invititation comes in first.  It's a great way to save time in the long run.  If you view pages as you accept them, your sure not to overlook the opportunity to meet another great Apsense Member and contact! 

Browse Members!  Invite new members to your contacts too! 

7. Invite your friends/contacts to join you at Apsense!

Invite others that are involved in your Business or type of Business to be part of your network here at Apsense.

8. Post Bulletins to your network

10. Join a free web site

place your business opportunties and ads there. You can do a search for free web sites on google or yahoo. They are pretty easy to set up too.

11. You can do a business exchange here on ApSense.

Just submit your link to your ApSense contacts, by visiting your friends Business Center, and submitting your link. They will chosse whether or not to add your link to their Business Center, and vise versa.

12. Join Groups of interest.

Again, be socialable here on Apsense. Take a look at others business too. We can all gain something new and learn from one another.  Don't just launch your Apsense profile and business center and then forget about it. Visit Apsense often, let people know who you are.

Enjoy talking and sharing your wonderful ideas and stories?  Great!  Start blogging.  There are many selections that you can choose to place your blog into the appropriate place.  Just go to the tab above that says blog, and choose the appropriate category to place it in.  A great way to be socialable and earn points at Apsense!Apsense just wrote up a great page explaining the New World of Apsense.  Please read it.  Great info and very well worth your time to read it.  Here is the url.

14. PPC sites. (Paid Per Click Sites)

 You can advertise for free, just by spending a little bit of time, clicking on others ads, or you can pay a very small fee to advetise your business. Some PPC sites offer as low as 3-5 dollars for your ad to be viewed a thousand times. This is for unique views too. I would choose a site that offers targeted marketing.

15. Other adverstising

Take a look at some of the tried and true ways of advertsing from other Apsense members.  Ask them questions.

16. Help out your Network and the People that your Network invites to Apsense!

Really pay some attention to your Network!  Not only will you feel good by helping someone else, but you have the potential to earn extra money too.  Please see the following Apsense Link, to see what I mean.

17. Adsense Ads

Be sure and help your fellow Apsense neighbors and friends out too.  Take a look at some of the google ads that have been placed on their blogs,profiles, etc.  They will earn some extra funds, and you may just stumble onto a biz opportunity too!  Lets' all help each other out! Sign up for Adsense too. You can place your on ads like these also, to have greater exposure to you buisiness(s)

18.  Stay active with Apsense

Most of us do take the time to set up our profiles, and/or Business Centers.  It is very important to your success to stay active in your Social Network too. I will be the first one to admit, I have became inactive in some of my Social Networking.  It's a bit hard to keep up with them all.  I have taken my favorite, Apsense, and continually stay active.  My personal experience with the Social Networks that I have became inactive is the old saying "Out of Site Out of Mind".  Be sure and resond to your emails, blog comments, group comments, etc. in a timely manner. A great example, say you write a fantastic blog.  A few members pop in to read it, leave comments and/or top it.  If  you never come back to see what's going on, after awhile, people seem to quite coming.  This can happen even if it's a wonderful blog.  Now, Apsense has added the wondeful feature called See what your friends are doing.  Once you post back to a comment, the blog your blog will be brought back to everyones attention again. So..bottom line, Stay Social! Pick your one, two, or more favorite sites and stay active!
