How to Advertise

Advertising is a major component for a successful online business. Don't be fooled by a great looking website with  flashy images and text. Without advertising, chances are no one will ever reach your website. Unlike shopping at the mall, people don't stumble on your website just by browsing the web. There many ways to advertise your products and service.

Directory listing
You can create unlimited free pages that you can use for advertising. Those pages will be included in Moomia.com's directory. You can include the links to in your emails and other websites or newsgroups. A directory is basically an online list of individuals or companies that advertise their products and services. Visitors browse through that directory looking to buy a product or service, this is how they will find out about your website. Advertising in a directory is free on Moomia.com.

Banner Advertising
Many websites with high traffic allow you to advertise using a banner or text box. This can be costly and depends on how many ad prints you choose to display as well as how famous this website is.

Mass Mail
Not to be confused with Spam. There are people who actually choose to receive offers by email, simply because they are shoppers looking to buy certain products, so they subscribe to a mailing list that specializes in selling perfume products for example. How do you reach those mailing lists? You can either browse through a directory looking for "perfume mailing list" or do a search on some famous search engine.

Newsgroups
A newsgroup is a group of people (as you may have guessed) that discuss a certain topic online using a software specific to newsgroups. Discussions are classified by topic allowing users to find what they're looking for. In addition to discussions, you will also find a products and services under which many sub-groups that pertain to specific products. Newsgroups are usually free and adverting there is very simple. However using newsgroups you can only use plain text to advertise, no images, fonts or sounds are supported.
