I have just started a program that is self explanatory and it’s self automated . Plus its very affordable depend what level you choose.

Basic SEO is must. And links to your site from other sites drive additional traffic. It seems simple, but ask visitors to bookmark or share your site or save it in their Favorites list. I use a widget called tell-a-friend to do this. Other than this use your creativity, viral campaigns to promote your web site.

Im 14 & My dream is to become a Famous Musician,Actress & Fashion Designer.
My friend bought her self an agent on the internet,& they help her look for show auditions.
She gave me info. to try out for a new Disney Channel Show.
So i thought hey,Disney Channel can help me start my acting career.
It might not be that bad besides other kids around my age usually diss Disney Channel.
I haven’t filled them out yet,but im planning to.
People have told me im not a pretty bad actress,but of course i need improvement.
I didn’t get to get in my school’s Drama Class,because my schedule was full.
& waiting til next year is a long time for me,since i wanted to be an actress/musician in an earlier age.
I went to subway once & they had a magazine that Advertised Barbizon
& also when i went to the mall.
My mom wants me to Take Modeling classes to help me with the way i walk & sit
& she also says it can help me with my acting career.& i think it can
improve my self esteem.
My mom always wanted to be a model & she took some classes & she graduated but it was a scam
because the certificate of whatever was fake.
She also told me about things they taught her & they gave her fashion tips & stuff like that.
My Pops is a professional photographer & he can help me with modeling, but my mom
suggested "Barbizon" because it can help me with Acting & Modeling…

Can Barbizon really help me or is it a scam?
It said Some Disney channel members graduated from the program,
can it really help me get into a show,commercial or movie?

Can you please but in any info. about it & experiences?
If you can answer if Do i have to pay for separate classes &
about how much do you pay….please do.
Thanks. (:

I know a lot about this. I work in this industry. Unfortunately, I don’t know a lot about Barbizon specifically. In the past, I have known them to be a big waste of money. However, it looks like they may have improved and do have some success stories. I know they are expensive. Most of the time, I would say this is a scam. However, you DO need acting classes and someone with experience to help you get further in this business. Depending on where you live, Barbizon may be the only place within miles. If you live in a major city or close to one like LA, New York, Miami or Atlanta, you should NOT go to Barbizon. If you live in the middle of nowhere, maybe it would be good for you.

So, this is long, but here is some info on what you need to do to get started in this business.

An agent - An agent works to get you work. They do NOT take any money up front for anything. An agent makes money when you make money. They will take a fee of 10%, maybe up to 20%, from the money you make when you book a job. Again, let me stress, NO legitimate agency will charge you an up front fee to take you on as a client. I don’t like that your friend had to "buy" an agent. That sounds bad.

A headshot - You are going to need a headshot, which is a picture of you close-up. You will need to pay a photographer to do this picture. Legitimate agencies will suggest photographers but they will NOT take the pictures themselves. You say your father is a photographer. Obviously, you should use him for your first one. Once you get an agent, if they don’t like the picture, they may suggest you retake it and they may suggest names of photographers but they won’t take the pictures themselves or money for pics.

Classes - You definitely need classes for acting. If you are serious about acting, you need to get serious about taking classes. The trick is finding a GOOD acting class. Acting classes can even help you get an agent through showcases, connections, etc. I don’t think you really need modeling classes, though. I have modeled but I didn’t need classes to do it. If you live in one of the major cities, you have great options. If you live in Atlanta, the BEST teacher is Nick Conti at the Professional Actors Studio. He is outstanding and has very good priced classes. He will make you a great actor and then he will showcase you to agents. Many, many people have gotten agents and work through him. If you’re not in a big city, Barbizon may be your best option for training.

Getting an agent - There is no one way to get into an agency. First, you want to submit your headshot to them. Simply send them your picture. If they like you, they will call you in for a meeting. You can also go to OPEN CALLS. Call the agency and ask if they have open calls. That means you just go in and see if they like you.

Your first steps:
What I think you should do before going to Barbizon
1. Start with a headshot. Get your dad to take your picture.
2. Find local agencies in your area. You’ll have to do some digging around. They are not always listed in the phone book. Do your research to find legitimate ones. One hint is to look for "union" agencies. You can even call the Screen Actors Guild to ask them how to find union agencies in your area.
3. Call them and ask about their submission process and if they have open calls. Go to the open calls where you can and send in your picture and see what happens.
4. If you don’t have any luck with agencies, you probably do need classes and maybe some grooming tips. Maybe then Barbizon would be a good option.

I have so much more but I had to edit it to fit. I hope this helps! May your dream come true!!

A friend of mine recently lost his job. I thought he would become destitute, but it was quite the opposite. He told me that because he got involved with internet marketing, he was able to make enough money to support himself and his family’s middle class lifestyle. His blog is: http://imblog.cxr.cc/

Any advice on how to replicate his success?

No. There are 10Million people trying to sell their scheme online. Today there are 133 million blogs. Most have an audience of one.

One thing about internet marketing ( where you are recruiting other people to sell a product and you get paid for everything they sell) is that you must tell everyone that it is an "incredible success" even if you have not made a penny. Be skeptical.

My idea is to get direct traffic to website that I own and social networking. and wanna business to promote on FACEBOOK is this possible? but I would be making it much more than an add, and I would be posting their advertisements, links, and promotions on all of my pages on facebook ."

Absolutely the FACEBOOK is a big social networking platform where you can promote business and marketing too, this is right place where you can increase the contact with internet users. You should work on various factors such as link yourself by using facebook profile to promote and marketing between the big network Marketing experts and companies are promoting on social networking sites like facebook because of the huge audience it has. These are many way to market online and social networking is like the old word of mouth… But a lot much faster and bigger! There are many professionals that provide marketing services online. Even there are social networking sites that target internet marketers and advertisers or that are online to serve that niche. Some of the most used sites for these purposes is facebook.In the Que of marketing experts the magicsolv.com is most renowned name they are working for business promotion they do their works honestly" I tried got positve result then why don’t you. good luck.

I am trying to market my new offshore consulting website www.sundataservice.com and I wanted to know does anyone know any legit "buy internet traffic" websites or how can I go about doing it?

Take care, some ‘traffic’ services are used to generate fake popularity, maybe I’m just confused by semantics, I assume you want to advertise your site to prospective clients. There are lots of forms of paid advertising, you can place banner ads on selected sites related to your industry, small time operators use someone like BuySellAds a re-occuring banner is good for getting the company name branded in their minds. Smaller operations might use an ad broker like buySellAds.

Pay per click ads like yahoo and google offer are good for testing the market on a small scale. Based on user’s search phrases, terms associated with lots of money tend to cost more, clicks on top position ads would cost this much for these terms: offshore financial services $3.78, financial services $5.44, financial services company $4.52. These figures are for PPC ads in which you only pay on a per visitor basis. Ads in less desirable positions can be considerably less, you can have PPC ads only show to a certain demographic, geographical targeting being the more common way of narrowing the audience. (For perspective, ppc ads for "bubble gum" cost about $0.45)

Businesses that rely heavily on PPC ads have well defined idea of the lifetime value of the average customer and the percentage of visits that convert to customers.

Of course if you create an informative web site that is a true service to the public with informative articles, perhaps a discussion forum, search engines may send you visitors at no cost, usually a serious seo campaign to make your site appear to be already popular helps it’s ranking. A business like yours would benefit from professional press releases. There are free distribution services, but serious businesses pay prWeb something like $60 to distribute the press release that includes a link to your site, resulting in both direct traffic from readers of the press release and an enhancement of search engine ranking.

I have been promoting my website. I signed up for all kinds of surf for traffic sites, and a few click here for credits E-mail accounts. I am trying to drive visitors to my website. I dont mind reading the e-mails or clicking sites for hours. But what is the best programs to use? I know that me being a member of all these sites might be wasting time. By using the time on only a few sites will increase my traffic. What is the best?

That could work but that’s the easy way, and hence is not necessarily the best way. My tips:

- Search engine optimization, takes time and effort but if successful can be extremely rewarding.
- online fliers and catalogs, send to your friends and any one who might like it.
- build a mailing list and send newsletters
- have a cheap but good brochure or flier to get people to know
- start a facebook page for your site. get your friends to become fans.

The idea here is good avertising and spreading the word through word of mouth.

These guys could help you out with the brochure, catalog, newsletter, graphics. they’re rates are competitive.

Good luck

I’m looking for an easy way to create free traffic to my website. Tried a lot of programs but it seems very hard to find the best one. Please supply me with a good solution to get free traffic fast. Thanks.

Hi. I have been stock in that same situation for many years, so i know where you are, and what you are thinking. But then i stumbled upon http://www.smoothprofitsonline.com/. On this site you can find loads and loads of solutions to your problem. I have been praising this website.

I wonder why Gucci, Chanel, and other never put their advertisements on newspaper or tv or internet often. But they are famous…. Why? So I think advertising on newspaper or tv or radion is not guarantee to be a famous brand.

They advertise in high fashion magazines. People usually advertise to their target audience and since the average person reading the new paper can’t afford Chanel it doesn’t benefit them to advertise there. But Dolce and Gabbana does have commercials on tv for their watches.

Hi There!
I was reading about website promotion in Yahoo!Answers…. Most of the answers had same thing in them; i.e., about Search Engine Optimization and free classifieds but the thing i did not understand is about "backlinks"…

{Q1]What is Backlink?

How does it help in search engine ranking??

How to Create it???

Where to submit it???? }

{Q2]I have a website on Jokes…
I have been promoting it on free online classifieds…
I have submitted my website ad in an around 50 Classifieds…

But unfortunately no serious traffic only 10-25 visitors/day…

I was also told by some net savvy person that free online classifieds ad submission helps in search page ranking…
Is this true? }

http://www.hilarious-jokes.co.nr/

Backlink is a link from another site to your website. It help in your search ranking because Google uses that to determine how a site rank on their search result pages.

You can start with directory submission, article marketing and forum marketing.

Promoting your joke site on a classified site is not going to help because they’re not interested to read jokes. Think like your potential visitor and you will be able to obtain more traffic to your website.

You don’t neccesarily build your backlinks yourself.

Hiring a professional web marketing company to manage your link building campaign is definitely a much more viable option.

All I do is sit on the computer all day since i am born with medical conditions and i just want someone to help me learn how to make a living from the web and please don’t send me to links with lot’s of advertisements and promotions that i have to buy something if i want to have traffic

If you have so much free time I would suggest you start a small research on search engine optimisation. It will help you learn how to submit your website into major search engines and other directories that will help bring people there. Also how to optimise your website so that it can get a good position when people search for some specific keywords.

What kind of website do you have? I suppose you are not referring to a personal website.
