Blowing Your Own Horn
Opportunity Assistance Business Resource Center

At first you must think that with a title as above that this
article must be about something other than marketing;
however, what this article is about is marketing,
specifically affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is much more than signing up for a free
affiliate program and then posting your affiliate link here
and there. It's all about promotion and not only promoting
your affiliate program association or associations but also
about promoting yourself. Hence, the title of this
article….
Let's imagine that you are a politician. Although glamorous,
it is one of the most backbiting filled professions on the
face of the planet. But there is something to learn from
the great politicians who do it right. Those that are not
using the negatives and the faults of their opponents, but
that are rather only promoting their own positives and the
very fact that they are involved in being a part of the
political process are those who do it right.
So who are the marketers that do it right? Those that don't
point fingers while at the same time they let their public
know that they have something to market. How can you do you
do this? The number one way is to sell your-self. I don't
mean being a sell-out, but rather that you do things to make
yourself visible to the people that you would like to
become your customers. One way you can do this is through
networking. In the offline world this is accomplished by
belonging to church groups, business organizations, and
other such groups where people meet and exchange ideas.
Online you can network by participating in forums, in chat
rooms, posting at guestbooks and much more. Let people get
to know you and what you're about.
I personally feel that I have a lot to offer those in the
areas of affiliate marketing and network marketing as I
have
been involved in and studied both for years. Promotion may
not be my strongest ability, but I seek to strengthen it by
putting my writing talents and skills to use.
By writing, I use something that I can do to publicize
myself. The next step of course after writing an article is
to submit it to places where it can be sent to "
publishers" of ezines and other publications both
online and off. For a list of places through which you can
do so go to
What skill or talent do you have that can be used to
publicize yourself? Perhaps you are good at talking to
people. One on one communication is a great way to let
people know that you are marketing something. Along the same
lines, comes public speaking. Want to find organizations to
speak for, and possibly get your own public speaking
engagements. One place to start is to join an organization
like Toastmasters whose main focus is to build public
speaking skills.
But what if you don't want to speak professionally or write
articles for ezines or magazines? Another way to get your
presence known is join as many different online public
forums as possible. They don't have to all be marketing
forums, just try to concentrate though on the forums that
peak your interest the most. In that way you'll have
something more relevant to contribute. Of course, you've got
to do more than to just join these forums. You do have to
post to them!!!
These are just a few of the ways to get free publicity,
market yourself and therefore increase your marketing
potential..
Remember, like the politician you've got to get your name
out there, and "blow your own horn".
