Self Promotion Offline Tip #22

Finding freebies is nice but finding awesome deals is also as nice! One of my favorite website to go to on a daily basis is most definately Woot because they always offer a new Woot item every night at exactly 10 PM PST and only charge a flat shipping of only 5 dollars! You can buy a 50 inch HD and have it shipped to your door for only 5 bucks! It doesn't get any better than that! The Woot items are usually always better than most deals anywhere on the internet but sometimes they're not so remember to compare prices elsewhere before you decide to buy anything. Every now and then, you can buy their signature mystery item also known as a Bag of Crap. What's inside? You would have to buy one to find out.

#22. Small Home Town Newspapers! I don't get too good of a response when I do big newspaper city ads, however... when I target small town newspapers I usually get a great response. I even had them let me place an ad on their wedding and engagement announcements page which I advertised the Bridal Gift Registry.

So if you are going to do any type of newspaper advertising, inquire about getting your ads on specific pages in the newspaper that targets the group of people most likely to buy from you.

Self Promotion Offline Tip #21

Adsense is a good method to make some chump change if you have a decent amount of traffic but for the majority of us, it is still not what we would expected. The time that you spend working on your sites does not compensate enough for the time that you spent unless of course you're someone like Perez Hilton. Since you're not Perez Hilton, you would need to use something else besides just Adsense alone. You can use affiliate marketing or obtain referrals which can make you $40 to $50 rich with each referral. So don't limit yourself to just Adsense, you will need to expand your choices to maximize your profit.

#21. Contact local small companies and shops to see if you can offer an exclusive discounts or freebie gift to their employees. Companies are always looking for a way to "treat" their employees to specials from the local surrounding community.

Sell Or Recycle Your Old Electronics

Even with all of my freebies, as time goes on, they become obsolete so you should sell before they devalue too much. I have two choices, either sell them or recycle them. You should never throw away any electronics even if they're broken because there are some places that will buy your broken iPod, games, computers, cameras, you name it. You should always compare different companies because you might receive more money from one site than another. These places will buy your broken or functional electronics and will either give it a new life or recycle it. It keeps everyone happy. So far, I like Gazelle the best because they will pay for your shipping by sending you a shipping label via email so all you have to do is pack it and ship it and wait for your money. This is a good way to recycle and resell your old freebie items.

Gazelle My favorite site so far, free shipping and it's easy and fast to do.

MyBoneYard Free shipping as well but haven't branched out to buy digital cams and other electronics.

Venjuvo Free shipping but doesn't buy older model electronics.

BuyMyTronics Reimburse shipping costs and haven't branched out to buy other electronics.
