If you go back to the last page of this training click on John Morrison’s website (web-address at the bottom of this page) and go to Resources where he has listed the National Consultants for Ambit Energy. There you will find Brian McClure the top money earner, Steve Thompson the number two money earner, along with Chris and Debbie Atkinson. The main reason I included Danny Kirby in the group last week is his work ethic, he came from the blue collar ranks of the working class, along with the idea that he was marketing from outside an Ambit Energy distribution area. Not that I do not believe the other National Consultants are hard workers but remember Brian and Steve are great marketers and they would not be where they are if they were not. Chris and Debbie Atkinson have their own story which makes their story with Ambit Energy unique. These individuals came from direct sales and other sales backgrounds. It would be good for you, if you have a chance, to click on their websites and hear their stories of where they came from and how they got where they are with Ambit Energy today. All the Consultants I had mentioned last week are the ones in the trenches building their Ambit Energy Businesses. The Nationals are going out and expanding their teams by helping the consultants under them build their businesses as they are helping me to help you build your business. This is why I sent you to those sites. By me having you use those sights, and with all of us clicking on those sights even as a reference, razes their rankings with the search engines. That is one way of building a strong internet presence. I can also guarantee you they are not spending a lot of money on advertising. My hope with these last pages of this training is to help you build you spot on the internet at a low cost to you.
When starting with any Network Marketing Business and more as a standard part of enrollment you are given a website. These are called cookie cutter websites. With these websites you are issued a website with your own brand name that you choose but, they are identical to everyone else’s website with an Ambit Domain. This will never help you in the search engine rankings. You also want to find a unique name to set you apart from your opportunity. In this case anything with Ambit on it. These are all good examples of good self-branding domains; TeamFin.com, HaveFunGetLucky.com, ElizabethOliva.com, JohnMorrisonSeminars.com, and OneThingAnyHomeCantDoWithout.blogspot.com. Which leads me into saying that my web-address is too long however, it is easy to remember. As far as Shawn Cornett’s Site AmbitPros.com this (blog) web-address is done with permission from Ambit Energy. However this web-address is individual enough to do very well in the search engines. When choosing a domain name you have to be real careful of Trademarks when setting up a blog or a website and its contents. Also to quote or footnote any copied material (done more with blogs than websites). This saves you headaches in the long run and will prevent you having to take your site down. Lastly by self-branding you are opening yourself up to other opportunities helping you become more three dimensional in your marketing. Take some time to sign up on my e-mail list and I will start sending more information to help you with self-branding.
Remember these techniques we are about to show you can take some time to build your online presence. You should not by any means trade this for your direct warm market. You meet new people all the time take advantage of that. Your online presence should take over after you have gone through your warm market. It is best you work on your marketing from all angles when getting started.

With online classifieds you can take your cookie cutter website, your personal website, blog, or forum and start bringing traffic to it. Banner Advertising we will discuss at a later date. As you start bringing traffic to your site and as people click on your site raises your ranking with the search engines. Without traffic the search engines will not notice you. This is probably the most inexpensive way to start generating traffic. Unless you have a big budget you may want to stay away from pay per click or other paid methods of generating traffic at least for now. Using online classifieds may be time consuming to start but, when you have a small budget this could be a great targeted starting option.
I want to get your attention by saying that most of these classifieds offer upgrades for a small fee. These fees will save you time and effort. Most of these fees offer automatic renewal and placing or spot placing on the listing page as well as other features. If an ad is working well for you I encourage you to use the upgrades. If an add is not working well for you, you can always tweak it or just write a new ad. The other real benefit to online classifieds you can choose your target area and know that thousands of people look at your ad every day.
One Classified you should pay special Attention to is US Free Ads. US Free Ads has a special Relationship with Google and can help your ad go viral with the keyword tool US Free Ads has. Oodle is another classified you may want to use because with Oddle you can link your add directly to your Facebook and / or Twitter Accounts. With Oodles upgrades you can make your ad really work for you on Facebook with little extra effort on your part including setting up a merchant account with Facebook. It is also a good idea to use more than one online classified and determine the ones that work best for you.
When working with classifieds make sure you choose the category you list under carefully and do not list in the wrong place even on purpose. This only gets your ads removed or flagged and this is especially true with Craig’s List. Also add a picture to your ads they draw more attention to the ad and make it more visible. Just make sure the picture is relevant to what you are advertising. Here are some suggestions for Online Classifieds with the highest recommendations first.

If you believe you may not be a good ad writer this may be of help to you. Writing a good ad is the difference between getting mediocre traffic and good traffic. A good ad can possibly be the difference in making a contact and a closing or not getting any attention at all.

Writing Articles For Online Magazines and Online Free Publishers
For More Information Click Here!
This again is a great way to advertise your business. Most people do not understand how it works however the concept is so simple. You write articles on a specific topic about your business. Attached to your article is your URL or your domain name. You list your article with an online publisher. People go read your article listed with the online publisher and when they want to find out more information about you and your offering they click on your site. Also other bloggers and website owners from time to time will publish your article on their website. When they do this they will acknowledge you as the writer and list your site or domain as the resource. This is done as a courtesy to you and if your content is relevant enough it offers a new demention to the site owner’s blog or website. This helps site owners drive traffic to their sites while helping them satisfy their customer’s or reader’s needs. Simply put, your article adds relative information to the site owner’s readers that the site owners do not specialize in, which all comes down to having good relevant content. Good content is what the search engines like. This turns out to be a Win-Win for you and the other site owners.

Advertising with Banners Using 1800Banners
1800Banners is a banner exchange site where you can either pay for impressions, Click Throughs or you can exchange your banners being shown on other websites in exchange for impressions or clicks.
First you need to understand what an impression is. An Impression is the image or the text image showing a designated area on someone else’s website advertising an outside website. When someone clicks on the impression that outside website opens in a different page or window in most cases. The rest is not hard to figure out when someone clicks on an Impression that is called a click. The click is also referred to as a Click Through.
The reason to use 1800banners is you can get local and Targeted advertising. 1800Banners has many programs you can use and I chose the local advertising because that is how I set up my Search Engine Optimization. 1800banners helps you get clicks to your website raising your rankings in the search engines. This is a very good way to get targeted traffic to your website that is both paid and free. It takes traffic to raise your Search Engine Rankings. 1800Banners is an effective way to initialize your Search Engine Optimization and an inexpensive way to get traffic to your website. Because of 1800Banners and a few other options I use I only pay for 20% of the traffic to any of my websites. The rest of my traffic comes by classifieds, blog posting sites, mailing lists, good old fashioned talking with people with Search Engine Optimization as my final vehicle.
I use impressions instead of clicks in my banner advertising. This is my preferred way to use banner advertising. However, it is up to you and how you feel after testing your banners how you use your banner advertising. You may prefer clicks because you may be able to budget your results more efficiently. For me, I am looking for maximum exposure because I believe impressions give me the result I am looking for. Until you test your banners I would go with click thoughs because you will pay a set price for each click through and if the banner is successful then consider switching to impressions. Using Click Troughs and Impressions are easy to set up through 1800Banners. A good click though ratio is between 0.7 and 1.2 percent. 1800 Banners also gives you all the statistics you need to monitor your progress as well many options on targeting.
When starting out with your business 1800Baonners may be a reliable way to budget your advertising over pay per click advertising. Pay per click requires a large budget and is used mainly by established companies and individuals that can leverage their advertising budget with their results. With 1800Banners you can control the results to becoming successful. Then you can start considering other advertising options that requires a larger budget.
