More Free Advertising Coupons

How to make $593 in less than one hour

The $100 Yahoo! Search Marketing coupon I posted earlier today went over so well I decided to add a few more ways to get your paid advertising for next to no money. This is one of the methods I will use in my Nobody to Somebody blog. Since I have only $86.10 to work with for promotion, I will need to use these coupons to really leverage my advertising dollars. The goal is to use the coupons to make money and then use that money to buy more advertising.

$100 Yahoo Search Marketing Coupon

Use this link to get the coupon. You may need to change the last 4 digits if it’s no longer valid. Depending on what values you enter, you may end up with coupons ranging from $20 to $100. You will need to deposit $5 to open an account but that is credited to your ad fund. So you’ll end up with $105 of Yahoo! ads for only $5.

$100 Text Link Ads Coupon

This coupon gives you $100 of free text links from the Text Link Ads network. You will need to spend $125 in order to use the coupon but that still gives you $125 of links for $25.

$20 Bidvertiser Coupon

If you are a new advertiser, Bidvertiser will give you $20 to test out their service. All you need to do is sign up for an account and they’ll put $20 in it. The minimum bid at Bidvertiser is 5 cents so that good for 400 free visitors. Signing up for an advertiser’s account also signs you up as a Bidvertiser publisher so you can kill two birds with one stone.

I’m really curious to see how far you can make this $100 stretch :shock:

Budget Babe August 10, 2007 at 9:52 pm

I think it’s fabulous and I am watching real close too! Will try this out myself as I am a “nobody” but determined to get my blog somewhere soon! Budget Babe xoxo

Debo Hobo August 10, 2007 at 10:03 pm

John is always gazillion steps ahead :twisted:

Budget Babe August 10, 2007 at 10:33 pm

That’s why we’re his disciples :wink:

Thanks a lot for these coupons John!

Blogging Experiment August 10, 2007 at 9:10 pm

Darn you John! I had 2/3rds of this post completed already :mad: I guess that’s what I get for taking my time.

Nice post though, IMO, usefull posts like this are the perfect way to generate affiliate sales. You’re not trying to pull anything over on anyone and in fact, are trying to help them.

Well done.

Lewis Empire August 13, 2007 at 1:05 pm

I haven’t seen you write about your new blog lately John. I’m guessing that you’ve used this $100 to generate some traffic as well!

Thanks for the link.

Lewis Empire August 13, 2007 at 1:13 pm

This one came out wrong. I’m interested to read more about what you’re up to on the new blog – ad methods etc. I’m guessing that you’ve ALREADY used the $100 to generate more traffic.
did you use it all at one time or did you decide to stretch it out over a few weeks?

Cristian August 10, 2007 at 9:19 pm

Is it possible to use multiple coupons with one credit card and/or advertise one domain with multiple accounts?

John Chow August 10, 2007 at 11:37 pm

Try it and let us know. I know you can create five Ad Center account with one credit card. :twisted:

Terra Andersen August 10, 2007 at 9:41 pm

Good stuff, thanks John! (i’m sure he can stretch that $100 pretty damn far!)

Joshua August 10, 2007 at 9:58 pm

I say just spend thousands without telling anyone, and then say you did it for $100 :twisted:

Debo Hobo August 10, 2007 at 11:03 pm

:wink: Sounds Evil to me

Blogging Experiment August 11, 2007 at 12:12 am

Doesn’t that sort of defeat the whole point?

Stuart Hannig August 11, 2007 at 10:44 am

Yes, but he is evil.

Jacob August 10, 2007 at 11:44 pm

I am actually very curious to see the blog once he proves it can be done.

Blogging Experiment August 11, 2007 at 12:12 am

yeah, it’s going to be a great read. If that wouldn’t make a good book, or ebook then I don’t know what would.

Stealing Stuff August 11, 2007 at 12:06 am

You need to cite where you get the information from. That $100 for YPN is not what you found or thought up of . Give credit to who found it. I know who and what forums first started that about 1-2 weeks ago. Stop stealing information.

John Chow August 11, 2007 at 12:17 am

I did give credit. Why don’t you follow the link or read the post that came before this one.

Blogging Experiment August 11, 2007 at 12:22 am

You’ve really gotta love trolls. I find it best not to feed them. :mrgreen:

Stuart Hannig August 11, 2007 at 10:48 am

Trolls like to eat away the web.

Blogging Experiment August 11, 2007 at 12:25 am

Dude, you need to relax. John cites his source in the post earlier today where he first mentions the YPN coupon. Hence the “MORE” in the title. I’m not saying you have to worship at John’s throne, I’m just saying check into things before you flame. If it’s still warranted after checking, then flame away.

The Greeniologist - Professor of making money online August 11, 2007 at 12:37 am

I don’t see why you have to give credit for a coupon – it’s not exactly brain surgery to change the last few numbers. I’ve been doing it for awhile and just assumed everybody else did too. I guess assumptions really are the root of all evil.

Fredrik Forsell August 11, 2007 at 12:40 am

Hello. I have just read the beginning of your make money book and found it pretty interesting! When I have more time I will read the whole book. I have already started think of bloging in another way now, thank you! :)

I will also continue reading your blog of course! Greetings

Sean August 11, 2007 at 1:47 am

John, you’re a lifesaver. I’ve been looking for some Yahoo coupons lately.

The Rich Blogger August 11, 2007 at 1:52 am

:wink: I am interested in BidVertiser coupon.

Thanks John

Patrik August 11, 2007 at 6:36 am

Thx John! That was just great. Cheap ads is the way to go. 256 000 views and 1000 klicks for $5 seems like a fair deal ;)

Mybloggo August 11, 2007 at 7:06 am

Thx for the coupon

Tyler Lloyd August 11, 2007 at 8:03 am

Thank you for the coupons. It’d be interesting if you did a breakdown of how you apply paid advertising to blog promotion. :idea:

Joey August 11, 2007 at 9:02 am

I was looking for something of this nature for my own blog, can’t wait to see what happens. :twisted:

Chris August 11, 2007 at 3:16 pm

Great work john! this will be extremely usefull for my make money online business.

AsiaPartTime.com August 11, 2007 at 8:47 pm

I am curious, is there any Google AdWords Coupon?

Sunnye August 19, 2007 at 6:04 am

wow thanks for posting these, they are very helpful. I will definitely give them a shot.
