How to make effective advertising for a company. #4 - Free advertising through someone else's hands. #1 - The main option for free advertising on the Internet

There are many free ways to promote and promote groups and communities on social networks. Some of them are very effective, but they all require time and effort. Therefore, one day there comes a time when you realize that in addition to all the available methods, it would be good to add another, paid method - targeted ads. And if you had no experience submitting advertising before, for example, in such social network, like VKontakte, then the next question arises quite quickly: how to make advertising on VKontakte yourself, without turning to specialists for help.

In fact, there is nothing complicated. I think that with the help of my screenshots, you will be able to repeat all the steps, make an advertisement on VKontakte, and analyze the results.

We are starting our first advertising campaign

The first thing you need to start with is follow this link to the VKontakte advertising page. We are interested in the first tab “Targeted Ads”. I’ll say right away that targeted ads are a key feature of VKontakte advertising, and require the availability of tools with which you can customize the display of an ad based on various parameters.

Gender, age, marital status, country and city of residence.
University, faculty, school, year of higher education.
Positions, districts, metro stations and even streets.
Interests, hobbies, favorite movies, books, games, etc.

That is, we can customize our ad so that the ad is shown to the target audience. If in your target audience does not include schoolchildren, then you can independently set the desired age of the audience and exclude ad impressions from the field of view of schoolchildren.

Click on the “Targeted Ads” tab and carefully read about the advantages of advertising on VKontakte. Feel free to click “Create ad”. On the next page we are asked what we want to advertise: our community (group, public or meetings), the VKontakte application, a video with a link to the advertiser’s website or an external site. The most popular is community advertising, so we choose this option as an example if it suits you.

Here, on this page, you will need to select your community, and you will find yourself on the ad posting page. Task: choose the accommodation option that you like best.

Heading 25 characters + image 90x120px with payment per impression
Heading 25 characters + image 90x65px + ad text 60 characters with pay per click
Promotion of communities - the group logo is automatically displayed.

In my opinion, the most difficult thing is to write a 25-character headline correctly. In my case, it would be better to adjust the title with two words: “Treasury of Tips.”

Scroll down and you'll see your targeting settings. You can select a country, city, gender, indicate interests and education. If you consider it necessary and tick the necessary points, then in this way you will narrow your audience to a target audience interested in your products and services.

The most important thing left is to set the cost of the advertising price. And to do this, it is important to determine what you want to pay for - impressions or conversions.

Here's how VKontakte describes the differences between advertising for impressions and transitions:

“Cost-per-impression ads are a more static format than pay-per-click ads. They are suitable for advertisers interested in generating demand for goods or services of a particular brand or for image advertising. The main component of pay-per-impression ads is the image.
When paying for impressions, for every 1000 impressions, an amount that you set yourself is deducted from your budget (for example, 1 ruble = 1000 impressions).

When paying for conversions, only unique conversions from your ad are counted. If a VKontakte user has already followed this announcement(from any computer), the transition will not be counted. You also set the price for the transition yourself (for example, 1 transition = 1 ruble).”

It is only worth considering the fact that when paying for impressions, the image is noticeably larger due to the absence of ad text and, most importantly, there is no CTR in the cost per thousand impressions formula.

Since the effectiveness of advertising can only be determined through testing, I prefer to listen to the advice of more experienced people and set payment for clicks. That is, I will only pay for those people who clicked on my advertisement and followed it. For the first time, I recommend starting with a small transition cost - 3 rubles, even though VKontakte recommends that I pay from 22 to 31 rubles for the transition.

As an example, I can give my results:

Having set the transfer cost to 3 rubles, I topped up my account with 300 rubles. In 3 days, 36 transitions were made, and 5 people became subscribers of the group. Small results, but to get the best, I need this experience today. As a result, in 3 days out of 300 rubles, 108 rubles were spent. The cost of one subscriber was 21.6 rubles. A little expensive, to be sure. We still have to work on reducing the cost of a subscriber. It is difficult to achieve what you want the first time. This means that I have to test the increase in the cost of transition, since the higher I set the bid, the more often my ad will be shown.

With experience will come an understanding of chips that seem to lie on the surface, but cannot be understood the first time. By experimenting with the selection of target groups and improving the advertising itself, you can achieve a smaller number of target audiences and a lower, but more optimal cost of transition.

You also need to be prepared for the fact that you will have to constantly monitor the effectiveness of your ad; if you are not satisfied with the results, you can always edit the ad and make changes to the settings.

Launch an advertisement

After you agree to the VKontakte advertising policy, the ad must be launched in your personal account. Now that you have created your first advertising campaign, you will see an “advertising” link on the right side of the page; follow it at any time and you will find yourself in your advertising account.

Budget replenishment

At the top, enter the amount of the total limit and the daily limit. That is, how much money would you spend on advertising per day, and over the entire period of time. Of course, first you need to top up your balance personal account and transfer money in any way convenient for you: Visa and Master Card bank cards, using electronic payment systems Yandex.Money, WebMoney and Qiwi wallet You can also top up your account using a fairly large list of payment terminals.

After the money appears in your personal account account, you need to set the daily and total limit at the top of the page and in the table, and run an ad in the “status” section. After this, your ad is sent for moderation for approximately 2-3 hours. The moderation of VKontakte ads is serious: you cannot address the audience first name in an advertisement, you cannot indicate phone numbers in the text and in the image, you cannot advertise drugs, pornography, tobacco products, etc.

You should know! There must be at least 100 rubles left in the campaign account, otherwise you will see a warning:

“Unable to run ad. For each launched ad, your budget should be at least 100 rubles. You can top up your budget or stop your ad. "

Don't be afraid during the launch advertising campaign make changes to the ad settings if you see that the result is not satisfactory for you. In some advertising campaigns, it will be more profitable to use payment for impressions rather than for clicks. But you will have to experience this for yourself.

Pay attention to the ads that are showing on your page right now. Assess whether the advertiser correctly took into account your interests, or chose to waste the advertising budget. For example, if you are a mother on maternity leave, and you are shown an advertisement for the Elektrostal plant, then this is a clear sign that the advertiser has set up his ad incorrectly, and accordingly the effectiveness of his advertising campaign will be low.

Walk along the streets of the city: you will see that, at best, one in a dozen advertisements actually fulfills its function - attracts attention. How to invest in advertising so that this investment turns out to be beneficial for your business, and not crippling it?

1. Don't copy your competitors

The main thing is to remember: the height of recklessness is an advertisement like “We are open” (and it doesn’t matter that three neighboring houses have just such an advertisement). As sad as it is to state, the share of such advertising does not decrease from year to year, and its effectiveness is reduced to zero.

2. Remember your target audience

An example of an unsuccessful choice of channel for promotion is advertising of products intended for pensioners on the Internet. As well as placing advertisements for new highly efficient microprocessor controllers on a forum for housewives. I think it is unnecessary to clarify that the positive result from such advertising is negligible, if not completely absent.

3. Conduct a preliminary performance analysis

In most cases, entrepreneurs are looking for some way to advertise their goods and services, invest a significant (or even the entire) amount into it, and after a couple of weeks or months all the money goes down the drain. To prevent this from happening, follow a few simple rules.

If you have only one phone number, then you can indicate different contact persons in the advertisement: for example, in one case you indicate that you need to ask Svetlana, in another - Yulia

Never rely on only one type of advertising. There are a lot of channels for promotion today, from contextual advertising V search engines and targeted advertising on social networks up to outdoor advertising and advertising in mailboxes, from handing out leaflets and flyers on the street to direct advertising in the media or on transport.

If the results from advertising exceed the costs of it, this promotion channel has the right to life for you and your business. For such advertising methods, it is advisable to increase the budget, but not by much - approximately twice. If it works the second time, double it again, etc. In any case, you should not sharply increase the budget of advertising that is working well right now, since you cannot be sure that it will be effective tomorrow.

4. Make your own measurements on the effectiveness of advertising channels

Every type of advertising you use should be measured and calibrated. This means that when advertising to one source or another, you must know exactly how many potential clients you received from there. It's not difficult to do.

Use a different phone number for each ad or, if you are promoting goods and services on the Internet, provide links to pages with different addresses (the content of the pages, of course, should be the same).

If you have only one phone number, then you can indicate different contact persons in the advertisement: for example, in one case you indicate that you need to ask Svetlana, in another – Yulia.

5. Remember: any advertising medium must have three components: an offer, a limitation on some parameter and a call to action

The proposal should be interesting in itself. It should make your prospect want your product or service right now. The offer may include a significant discount, a gift when purchasing your product, as well as other bonuses or certificates for receiving interesting services.

For example: “When you buy two products “A”, you get a third one as a gift”, “40% discount on the entire range of products” or “Buy product “B” and receive a certificate for visiting a water park for the whole family.”

Don’t forget about the presence of a limitation - it can be by time, by the number of clients or by the number of orders. For example: “Only until the end of the week, when you purchase a laptop, you will receive a coupon for a 50% discount on any product in our store,” “We will give a microwave to the first three customers a day when purchasing a washing machine,” “When purchasing a table, delivery is free. Every day 20 tables participate in the promotion.”

A call to action means that it is necessary to clearly indicate to the client his next step to purchase a product or service (otherwise, with a high degree of probability, the consumer will not do anything).

For example, for offline advertising: “Call 123-456 right now,” for online promotion: “Fill out the form on the website and our manager will contact you” or “Click the “Order” button located below.” Only the presence of all three points will make your advertisement effective and allow you to stand out from your competitors.

Advertising is a method of promotion that allows you to sell more goods faster. Its distinctive feature is that advertising is not addressed to anyone personally, but is designed simultaneously for millions of people. It allows you to inform the target audience about the qualities of the product, convince them to give preference to one or another manufacturer and force them to act instantly. This method of promotion is effective using the media. And since in Lately The Internet has become the most influential and widespread media, then good publicity in World Wide Web will certainly ensure success. So, how to create it to be justified? There are many nuances here.

Specifics of Internet advertising

Before creating advertising on the World Wide Web, you need to understand the distinctive features of publications of this type. The Internet as a mass media has completely different specifics. IN modern world can not imagine successful project without its promotion using electronic resources. The advantage of this direction is that it allows you to reach the largest possible audience. And this is a very difficult task.

Successfully influencing customers is already an achievement, but no one will refuse to attract customers with different psychotypes. After all, this allows you to popularize your business among completely opposite circles, that is, make a big profit. It is quite difficult to achieve such a result, but by using various means of mass persuasion, you can choose the most successful option.

Any guide on how to properly create advertising begins with choosing a way to achieve the goal. In internet marketing, this list is quite wide:

Media. It is presented in the form of colorful bright banners that beckon you to purchase something. Products are presented, as a rule, in the form of images. If an idea is well thought out, then it is well remembered by users, because it has a greater impact on them.
Contextual. This type of advertising is more highly specialized, it is aimed at a specific buyer. Such advertising is fully consistent with a person’s interests and is placed in appropriate places: and ads that are issued by search engines depending on the user’s request.
Viral. This is advertising, the distributors of which are the users themselves. That is, investments on the part of the supplier, manufacturer or SEO specialist are minimal, since the dissemination of information is provided by the clients themselves. These are interesting and unusual ideas that you want to show to others.
Placement in online games. More often than not, the product being promoted is somehow related to the game itself. Perhaps it is created specifically for a specific scenario. Such advertising is also aimed at its target audience.

The effectiveness of online advertising is assessed by how much it catches the eye and stimulates the purchase of goods. The advantages of this method of promotion are its targeted message (personalization), relatively low cost, instant access to information, and interactivity. The popularity of advertising on the World Wide Web is due, among other things, to the fairly high purchasing power of the audience.

ACAR classification

Many organizations wonder how to create advertising on the Internet. Some of them even identified their own classification criteria by which they divide various methods. For example, the IAB divides online advertising into two subtypes - branding and performance.

But more widely recognized and widespread is the division of methods of promotion on the Internet according to the method of the Association of Communication Agencies of Russia. According to ACAR, Internet marketing techniques can be divided into search advertising and display advertising. Their place in market share is approximately the same. The latter has a slightly greater advantage.

The first-time admissions segment has increased by sixteen percent over the past year. In total, this brought the creators about sixty billion rubles. However, it is worth noting that there has been a decrease in traffic from paid advertisements. This situation is typical not only for the Russian, but also for the foreign market. The difference between the domestic one is that there are actually two monopolists in the field of search advertising largest companies- "Yandex" and "Google".

Display advertising represents everything that the user sees in applications. The exception is advertisements in search results and classifieds, which are placed on a paid basis. The association has identified three main subgroups of display advertising. These are videos, banners and text and graphic blocks.

Free advertising option

How to create advertising? There are two main methods that differ from each other not only in the method of execution, but also material basis. The advantage of the paid method is that for the money there is a high probability of getting a really good result. A free basis is justified only when the advertising is done correctly. After all, even something done with one’s own hands (even if done by a non-professional) can bring good income.

In order to popularize a product, advertising is used primarily. Organizing an advertising campaign on your own is quite possible by posting certain content on your own electronic resource, various blogs and pages on social networks. Of course, the money spent will be zero. But effectiveness depends only on successful semantic content.

Other marketing tactics include forums, videos, message boards, Q&A services, and social media data.

The main rule is that you need to take the time and think carefully about your advertising campaign plan. You can’t write low-quality text and hope for a positive result.

If it is possible to work on the basis affiliate programs, then you shouldn’t neglect it. By advertising other people's links on your electronic resources, you can greatly help others. Moreover, partners will then happily respond to such a request.

Also, when registering on forums through which you would like to promote a project, it is better to indicate the real location of the company or seller. Since if false data is revealed at the IP address, the profile may be blocked.

For a harmonious and appropriate description of your products, it is better to use discussions and contacts.

Paid advertising option

This method is more effective, but only if the financial costs are justified. Of course, if the company has enough funds, then why not use the services of professionals who can competently and correctly fulfill all wishes.

As a rule, “freelance artists” carry out online promotion of goods very competently. The main implementation tools are to include keywords that describe properties into useful and interesting content for potential buyers. the main objective is to attract the attention of potential buyers. It is not difficult to describe a product or service to a person with imagination, but only professionals in their field can correctly formulate their thoughts into contextual advertising.

Specialists probably know how to create an advertisement for a product and get crazy revenue for it. advertising agencies. Recently, due to the active implementation of Internet technologies, entire divisions have appeared in such organizations, specializing in marketing techniques on the World Wide Web.

Such companies will help to use the budget allocated for product promotion in the most rational and productive way. A whole team of relevant specialists will study the specifics of the business, the prospects of the industry, and apply the most effective marketing techniques.

Increasingly, companies with a request to create product advertising began to turn to such agencies. Many people understand the feasibility and justification professional advancement. In this regard, many Internet organizations have appeared that provide this opportunity.

Specialized services

Increasingly, people want to know how to create advertising in Yandex.Direct or Google Awords. This is not surprising, because these services are the most popular for solving problems of this nature. They are paid services, but in the future the money spent will pay for itself.

If you don’t want to figure it out yourself, you can contact a person who specializes in contextual advertising. A director will help you make your productivity as great as possible with minimal investment.

Another way is automated system promotion. An example is the Click service. This platform helps you save money and work independently with contextual advertising of both Yandex.Direct and Google Awords. Another advantage of the system is that it protects beginners from mistakes, thereby improving the results of their work.

Advertising on social networks

How to create an advertisement on VKontakte or any other social network? Why is promotion through these electronic resources so popular? The main reason for this is the prevalence of social networks in society. Nowadays there is practically no person who does not have an account on at least one social network. This is confirmed by the fact that about ninety percent of the Internet audience have personal pages on Facebook, Odnoklassniki, VKontakte or Instagram. Such conditions for an advertising campaign are, of course, attractive. In addition, you don’t need any special knowledge to promote, because creating a group and account is not difficult.

Advertising on social networks is called targeted. Its advantages over other types of promotion are a familiar interface for users, which helps create a comfortable environment and more effective perception of advertising. Another advantage is the opportunity to communicate with potential buyers. This makes it possible to understand the shortcomings of the product and gain new ideas.

To demonstrate a product, you just need to upload a photo or video. The ease of use of this option is undoubtedly important.

To obtain information and access to the user, there is no need to force him to go through an additional registration procedure. It is enough for a person to simply join the community.

Advertising on VK

How to create an advertisement in VK? Since VKontakte is one of the most popular networks, the question is quite logical. To legally promote products using this social network, you can use two methods. The first is the VKontakte network itself, and the second is the Sociate service. The operating principle of both methods is very similar.

Promotion through groups guarantees a constant and large audience. Advertising, which is not difficult to create yourself, can recommend users to another community, site or company. It is located only on certain period, during which it will occupy different positions in the feed. You can agree that the advertisement will remain in first place for several hours, after which the group administrator can supplement the wall with other posts. The user only selects the hours and days on which the advertisement will be placed. It is not necessary to personally communicate with community administrators, since the system works automatically. The exchange also provides a report on how many views, shares and likes a particular post has received.

Experts recommend advertising in thematic groups. It’s also worth checking subscribers, because the community can be large, but real people very little. Therefore, it is better to initially place yourself in inexpensive groups and analyze the results. Advertising will be most effective where there are fewer bots.

Targeted ads are a more expensive option, but also more effective. It is more suitable for instantly finding clients. Such advertising is shown only to people of a certain category. And a social network will help sort the right users.

Advertising in the news feed appeared in 2016. However, it is still a fairly crude development. This type of advertising campaign allows you to promote only a recording, but not a group or other electronic resource.

A similar service has already been implemented by the Sosiate service. By the way, its advantage over VKontakte is that the separate platform has more informative statistics and presents convenient reports. Also, in some cases, the network takes a lower commission from groups, so promoting through it may be cheaper. For long-term and productive work, it is better to choose this service. In addition, it is perfectly integrated with other social networks, such as Instagram and Odnoklassniki.

Advertising in Odnoklassniki

How to create an advertisement in Odnoklassniki? This can be done in two ways - free of charge and with certain financial costs. The essence of the latter lies in choosing the service with which the ad is created. Then you need to come up with semantic content, select targeting settings and send the campaign for moderation. Afterwards, you should pay the invoice and launch the campaign.

The main services for such promotion include:

It takes a certain amount of time to get by on your own and not spend a penny. First you need to register and add as many people as possible as friends. Next, you need to establish contact with everyone and request an announcement of a site, product or service, indicating a link to them. This way you can create advertising for your store. Of course, it is better to motivate people. Over time, it is worth identifying buyers and creating a subscription list. This will allow for simplification in order to offer products periodically. If you manage to popularize an entire community on this social network, then a permanent audience will be guaranteed.

Advertising on Facebook

How to create It is enough to follow the following points:

While in your account, go to “Advertising Manager”. There you can see a special window for creating an advertising campaign. In response, the “Manager” will ask you to select a promotion goal.
Next, you need to segment the market by geographic, demographic and psychological characteristics. If you don't know how best to create an advertisement, pay special attention to this point.
Select advertising placement. This means that you need to decide on where to place your advertisement. There are two setting modes - automatic and manual.
At this point it is worth deciding on the financial part. The display schedule will depend on it, that is, how much and when the advertisement will be shown.
Optimization and selection of bets.
The choice of design, which will directly determine the memorability.
Supplementation with images or videos.
Attach title, text and links.

Advertising on Instagram

First you need to create an account on Facebook. The second step will be to create your own public page and link bank card. There is also the option of promoting through a regular account, but it is used only to popularize local services. On this moment It is possible to create three types of advertising posts:

square and rectangular photographs with text;
square and rectangular videos with text;
a series of photographs in the form of a gallery.

The difference between advertising through the Facebook service and bloggers is that the former takes a percentage only of the result. And promotion with the help of celebrities equals a fixed amount that must be paid regardless of the success of the advertisement.

How to create advertising determines the method of implementation. The first way to create an advertising campaign is Direct. It is not included in the official Facebook services, but it can be used to send messages only to a targeted audience.

The second method is the most popular - video. That is, the user cannot view the content he needs without advertising. There is a chance that a person will become interested and even follow the link provided.

How to make advertising so that it arouses interest? How to create the best for your product or service effective advertising? It is important to understand that “working” advertising always consists of the same elements, the presence of which is a guarantee of advertising success.

No matter how creative you are, if the required key elements are not used when creating an ad, the ad will be ineffective.

1. Heading.
2. "Buttons".
3. Pictures.
4. Value of the service.
5. Availability.

"Buttons". A button is something that causes the desired reaction in a person. For example, quite often on product packaging you can see the words “Does not contain preservatives or dyes!” or “100% quality!”

To find out the “buttons”, you can conduct a survey among buyers of your products (services) in order to find out what does not suit them in similar products from other manufacturers, or, on the contrary, what they would like to see most in these products.

In other words, it is necessary to find out both the negative factors that hinder sales, and the positive ones that “hook” the client to the quick and increase demand. Both positive and negative factors can be used effectively in advertising. It is only important to think in advance: what kind of reaction do you want to get from your advertising? Do you want to touch the client’s “sore spot” or, conversely, cause him a slight euphoria with a reminder of his secret dream?

For example, this may be buyers’ disagreement with the fact that, in general, the products on store shelves are unnatural. Or, if we advertise a vacation in hot countries, the reaction may be such that a person wants to “switch off and get into a fairy tale for at least a week.”

The main thing is that the “buttons” should be located as close to the title as possible, that is, at the beginning of the advertisement, so as to immediately catch the eye.

The fastest and easiest way to identify “buttons” is to survey several dozen of your clients. For example, you are going to produce sausage. The questions will be like this:

1. What quality of sausage do you value most?
2. What do you dislike most about the sausage you buy?
3. What would you pay attention to first of all when choosing sausage?

Images. Surprisingly, all people love pictures, regardless of age. It is no coincidence that there is a saying: “It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times.” It is easier for a person to form an idea of an object when he sees it than when he reads about what the object looks like. If a picture is used in conjunction with a “button”, then the “button” itself will work twice as powerful.

Selection of pictures is a complex marketing work, when each picture conveys a certain idea, message, evokes a reaction, emotion and works in harmony with all other elements.

Service value. At this stage, our goal is to show the client all the possible value of the product/service. And here it is important to talk about what will really make sense for your client (surveys will also help with this). This point shows the client what he will get if he buys, how his life will change after this, what benefits he will gain, and in general how important it is to buy your product/service.

Here you must show that your company offers a “solution to his problems.” Notice that in the buttons you could show that the client has problems in some area, but here you show that you have solutions to these problems.

You can also use catchy phrases and pictures to convey to the client the full value of the product offered. If we consider the example of promoting sausage on the market, then opposite the advantages of the advertised sausage - “Without added dyes, flavors and harmful preservatives” and “Nutritious for the whole family”, we could place a picture of a satisfied family with children having lunch.

Attention! To demonstrate the value of your services, it is imperative to constantly collect and then display testimonials from satisfied clients, testimonials, and letters of recommendation in advertising campaigns.

Availability product or service. Until this moment, the client must already WANT to BUY. Therefore on at this stage you must show how easy it is for a customer to purchase your product.

These could be addresses showing that the product is sold in any store in the network, or that you just need to call and the product will be delivered. If the price of a product (service) is also publicly available, then it is worth highlighting it.

This could be directions to your office, an indication that orders can be placed around the clock, or a note about free shipping products to any part of the city. Here, your main goal is to show the customer that the product is EASY to obtain.

In conclusion, we can only repeat that effective advertising should include not just a couple of the listed elements, but all five - only then will it give the expected result.

Do you have a product or the ability to provide paid services, but there are not enough clients. It doesn’t matter where your business is located - in real life or you are going to trade online. Have you calculated the costs of traditional advertising and decided to turn to the most technologically advanced and least expensive way to attract buyers - via the Internet. But how to use advertising resources in the virtual space? How to attract customers to your website or online store? How to spend the minimum and get the maximum return in the form of customers who want to view your offers and even take advantage of them. There is no clear answer to the question of how to advertise on the Internet. There are many ways to promote a product online. Let's look at the main ones, with their advantages and disadvantages.

How to make advertising on the Internet for free - review

“Free” - this word attracts beginners like a magnet: not to pay a penny, but to benefit. However, there are opportunities on the Internet. It is worth arming yourself with patience and curiosity. Here are the most common methods:

Free message boards, like Avito.
Social media.
City and thematic forums.
Catalogs of online stores.

They practice sending out advertising offers via e-mail or via SMS, participation in online auctions, creating blogs on various free platforms, displaying photos of the company’s team in photo galleries and other tricks. Remember: you will learn over time how to make advertising on the Internet for free. But the process itself will require a lot of time and effort.

You place advertisements about products on a free bulletin board. The main thing is to make simple and accessible descriptions, write in the first person. Look at other people's ads. Which one resonated with you the most compared to others advertising the same products? Look for a feature to catch the client's attention.

In Contact or Odnoklassniki (you can use both social networks), create a group for the store. Post photos of products, descriptions and start actively establishing relationships with potential buyers. You join other people’s groups and offer to join your own. This requires communication skills.

On thematic forums the main task- find the target audience and, on occasion, unobtrusively provide a link to a “very high-quality and inexpensive product.” Such communication is good training for those who really want to learn how to do advertising on the Internet for free themselves.

You register in catalogs for free and post information about your company. Choose among several of the most famous: Yandex.Catalog, Tor100, mail.ru, Rambler and others. Clients don't often look at directories, but they will contain a link to your site. This means something to search engines.

Advertising on the Internet for free is not the best choice

The possibilities for free advertising on the Internet are limited. You will attract a certain number of customers, but you shouldn’t count on massive visits to the site or calls from customers. It is not for nothing that paid advertising industries are actively developing on the Internet, i.e. professional. And in this case, with a successful choice of a team of specialists, the profit from visiting the site will be proportional to the investment in its content and promotion.

One of the usual options for advertising for money is placing banners on frequently visited pages. Experts say: the chance that someone will click on the banner is 0.5%. However, the potential buyer will subconsciously remember the information from the banner and will respond to your trademark with greater respect in the future. Today, contextual advertising is becoming more and more effective. And anyone who wants to know how to advertise an online store cannot do without it.

How to advertise an online store - for those who have serious goals

Contextual advertising attracts customers who are most interested in purchasing your group's products. It appears on the results pages of user queries in search engines. The most well-known contextual advertising services are Yandex Direct or Google Adwords.

Someone types “buy eau de toilette” into the search, and in the first page of results a link appears to your website that sells perfumes. This is contextual advertising for a given keyword or combination of words, which answers the question of how to make advertising for an online store most effective.

In systems that provide contextual advertising, each click on a link is paid. The cost of a click is up to $0.3, but the effectiveness of contextual advertising, as statistics say, is up to 20% of visits to the site when the ad is correctly composed. Sometimes up to 30%.

How to make online advertising permanent

Contextual advertising and banner placement require costs for the period of each promotion. But there is also a technique that will bring your online store to leading positions in search queries using one-time financial investments.
