There is a very limited screen space to say everything you want to say on those first tree seconds when you have your viewer's attention. Scrolling on a cell phone in order to get your idea across is going to kill those first three seconds of attention, so my quest this past year has been to find offers that are exclusively designed to be delivered over a cell phone screen.

There are three important elements when it comes to choosing good products or offers to promote on cell phones.

Number one: The Landing Page. Just like in traditional internet marketing for computers where you have the first three seconds of your viewer's attention to grasp their interest or else they will browse away. The same rule applies to cell phone marketing. You have to make sure to find offers that are designed to fit right inside the limited space of a cell phone screen and that are able to send the message across without the user having to scroll up and down and much less sideways. Even in traditional internet marketing scrolling sideways is not very favorable either.

Number two: ...
... The Payment Method. You want to make it the easiest possible for the user to pay for their products. On my program I will show you many products where the user authorizes the charges to be applied directly to his cell phone carrier. The user does not even have to bring out his credit card or input his PayPal account, all he has to do is accept the charge. This making the payment transaction very fast and accessible to the user.

And Number Three: The Product Delivery Method. You want to promote products that are functional in a wireless environment. You don't want to promote a product that is designed to be read on a full computer screen, NO! You want to promote products that the cell phone user can start using right away on his cell phone!

PostMobileAds.com will show you where to find hundreds of mobile optimized offers ready to promote on cell phones that have these three important elements!

But whatever you want to call it, you are by now probably familiar with banner ads appearing on web site pages all the time along with a dozen other ads on the same page. Well how about now getting used to seeing them right on your cell phones too?

Or better yet, how about taking part on this mobile marketing movement yourself and learn how to make money with cell phones right now while this mobile marketing industry is still in its infancy stage.

And just a quick observation here, as opposed to a standard computer website page that displays tens of banner ads in the same impression, on mobile website pages (WAP) due to the fact that the screen space is limited there is only space for one banner at a time, so you are sure to have all eyes just on your ad.

And because cell phone marketing is still in its infancy stage, very few people actually know the power of promoting on cell phones, how to make money with cell phones, or how to even optimize their existing standard computer website pages to fit inside cell phone screens.

Remember when the dot com boom just got started in the late 1990's? It was 1995 to be exact when Yahoo was created. Or better yet, 1998 when Google got founded and revolutionized the pay per click market. I remember, everybody who paid attention got a piece of the newly available to the public: The Internet. I wish I would have paid more attention back then!!!

Because here we are, 12 years later and we face an exceedingly saturated market on internet search advertising like Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Advertising, or Bing Search Ads, with keyword costs per click competing at extremely high rates. But I have good news for you! The cell phone marketing industry is NOT saturated JUST YET! So pay attention today, and learn how to make money with cell phones and mobile marketing while this industry is still new!

And to give you an idea of the magnitude of this mobile market let me show you the reports made by the International Telecommunication Union on its 2009 Global ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) Development Index, where it reported that for the year 2009, 19.12% of the world's population were active PC Users. That is 1.7 Billion PC users worldwide.

But now pay close attention to this: For the same year it reported 51.47% cell phone subscribers worldwide. That is 4.6 Billion Mobile Phone Users for the year 2009. Putting things in perspective, you are looking at three times more people using their cell phones than using their personal computers.

4.6 Billion Mobile Phone Users around the world and the number continues to grow as we speak, with the International Telecommunication Union projecting it to reach 5 Billion cell phone users this year 2010.

But with almost 5 billion cell phone users around the world, who is catering to them? With these numbers, there should be already at least one mobile optimized website page for every standard computer website page, but there isn't, because people are barely digesting the magnitude of this cell phone movement and just a very few actually know how to make money with cell phones.

There are for a fact very few mobile phone optimized website pages available and this hungry crowd is eager to surf the internet on their cell phones looking for information.
