Maybe you’re one of those people who have to have everything perfect before you even you start promoting this is short report is going to teach you how you can promote your web/blog on a little or no budget.

Well, the old story about Thomas Edison and his 10,000 failures before inventing the light bulb comes to mind.

But the best story of persistence is the Wright Brothers…good old Orville and Wilbur. They put their first airplane all together. They let everyone in Dayton, Ohio know that they were going to fly like bird. They even hired a brass band for the day of their first flight. These guys were confident.

On the announced day, a huge crowd gathered. It never moved an inch. Not one. And the wings fell off. It’s an understatement to say this was an embarrassment for the Wright boys. But it got worse. The plane didn’t work the second time they tried it…or the
third…or the fourth. It was a complete and utter public failure, despite their thinking that everything was “perfect”.

But they learned from their failures—probably even more because they were so public. On their fifth try, they made history.

The point is what’s the worst thing that could happen if you promote your products and it wasn’t absolutely perfect?

It’s an eye-opening experience to look at some of traffic generating channels to market or sell your products now on the Internet. Ahem…many of them stink like rotten eggs.
You won’t have to look too hard to find one where you say after you read it, “MAN! Even I could do better than that!” But that book’s selling and yours isn’t because you’re waiting to get it perfect! Don’t get it perfect…just get it out there.

This is one marketing option that isn’t free, though. What you’ll want to do is use a site like http://www.PRWeb.com to distribute your press release:
1. Affiliate Programs One of the easiest ways to market your products online is to recruit an army of affiliates to promote it for you! But that might be a challenge for somebody just starting out. The solution is to get your product listed in affiliate networks which publicize that your product is available for promotion.
