How to Advertise in the Right Way: More Sales!
It is not hard to know how to advertise your business.
First of all, you must build the credibility for your business in order to make more sales in return.
Follow these suggestions:
Promise your readers an end result or outcome
in your ad. You must give them a solid guarantee
that your product will solve their problem.
Give your customers free shipping. If you can’t
afford that, you can give free shipping to customers
that buy over a certain dollar amount to raise profits.
Never assume people believe the information in
your ad copy. You need to back-up all your claims
with indisputable evidence.
Use free advertising as much as possible. Test a
wide variety of free advertising options like banner
and link exchanges, classifieds, newsgroups, etc.
Test different web site color themes to see which
combination will sell your product better. You can
also test the size and style of your web site text.
Test your web site regularly for ordering glitches,
bad links, broken graphics, etc. Those types of
errors will make your business look unprofessional.
Build a professional looking web site even if you
have a small budget. You could use free graphics,
designs, list servers, and other tools offered online.
Enter to win awards for your web site. When
you display the award graphics on your web site
it will increase your credibility and professionalism.
Answer all your e-mail messages as quickly as
possible. Nothing will loose a sale quicker than not
responding to a prospect in time.
Test and track your results, always. You have the picture, how to advertise in the right way.

You can post eBay listings on froogle for free. the same applies to many other comparison shopping sites. also for eBay items look in the "want it now" section for people looking for te items you're selling, then respond to the posting with your listing and that person will look at you're stuff. Also you could create an actual web store If you haven't already. For this I'd recommend Virtuemart (it's free).You could also pay for sponsored searches from google, if you were to use google check out you can process up to $10 dollars in payment commission free for every dollar you spend on advertising. Let me know If you need any more help.

Check for local classifieds online that are free. Coupons and direct mail targeting certain dempgraphics are great too. Referrals are above all the BEST way to advertise so let your customers know how much you appriciate them spreading the word. You could even offer referral incentives to your customers such as 10% off their next purchase for a referral sale. Oh and you may want to read this book I think it is called: 50 low cost ways to acquire new customers. It is yellow and blue on the cover.

Depends on what you are selling but since you are selling online I recommend a website optimized for search engines. If you are selling stuff that would be popular in your local community then you need to get out and network and spread the word about your online store.
