Article Marketing – The Next Big dot com Boom!

Many online marketing experts, webmasters and SEO providers predict that Article Marketing will be the next big dot com boom that will sweep the internet like a typhoon. One expert predicts that…." the next online surge will make the dot com boom of the last decade seem like a church picnic."

Article marketing has been ignored by many individuals because they don't feel they can write good copy. Anyone can write if you set your mind to it and write as you normally talk. You'll be amazed how good you can write, if you only try. The internet is all about quality information on virtually any subject matter you can imagine. Each of us have a different take on any particular subject matter and differences of opinion are healthy when writing about your subject of interest. You will learn to write by writing and the more you write the easier for the flow of your thought process to become your own printed word.

Another advantage of writing is...you must do some in depth research on your subject of interest. By doing your research, you will become more knowledgeable and will be able to share that new found knowledge with your readers in the form of writing. Soon they will consider you an expert in that particular field and will look forward to reading about your opinions in your articles.

Article writing is an excellent way to keep information about your business opportunity before the internet masses. With a click of the mouse you can literally present your message to millions of potential users about your product or service. No other form of media can reach so many targeted prospect as quick as they can be reached on the internet. Article writing is a natural way to present your opportunity, build links and back links to your site and in the whole process feel good about your ability to help others, all at the same time.

The effectiveness of article writing is incalculable compared to other methods of promoting. With most methods of advertising and promoting you can purchase a tracking system that will give you a fairly accurate count of how many peopleactually respond to a given method of advertisement. The power of article marketing can't be followed because of all the different areas of media that can syndicated your articles. The broad scope of article marketing and the readership of your articles are endless.

Another huge advantage of article marketing is the distribution choices that are available for promoting your business opportunity. You may find a blog, forum or message board to post you article to. This is a process that is acceptable by most people, however, the effectiveness may be somewhat questionable. There's nothing wrong with doing this type of posting except that it is very time consuming and you're limiting your consumer base to a very limited and narrow base of people who may be interested in your information.

One of the most powerful methods for promoting your articles is through the use of article directories. There are several reputable article directories that you can find by searching the term article directories on your favorite search engine. You will find multiple categories listed on these article directories so you can focus your articles to a selected group of potential clients that is most suitable for your product or service.

With article marketing, it never quits, these articles works for you 24/7 without any further updates or posting. This gives you the opportunity to write other articles and continue the process over and over. The more articles you post the more links and back links will be generated pointing back to your business opportunity. Try to write something everyday and post to as many different areas of promotinal opportunities as you can. You'll be amazed at how quickly you will see results.

Build Your Own Marketing System!

Today we are going to discuss some of the advantages of owning and building your own website. Most of us started out by participating in some form of a replicated website, because a friend recommended getting involved in their new money making opportunity. Maybe you found something on the internet that caught your fancy!

Whatever the reasons you started your online journey isn't relevant at this point. We've all become smarter or maybe just more informed today than you were back then. I didn't understand that having a replicated website was the most difficult thing to promote on the internet. The search engines don't recognize replicated site unless the site is promoted properly and I didn't know how to do that. No one ever told me I was fighting an uphill battle from day one and I would never get to the top regardless of how hard I tried.

Not until I did some research and found that I could develop my own website and get the recognition that I was entitled to, did I understand why I couldn't get anywhere on my online venture. I worked hard, to try to make the system work, as I understood it, following the suggestions made in the big company website and believing the false promises in their misleading advertising materials. I was raised in a small rural community in the Mid West where your word was your bond. If something was in writing, that made it all the more truthful. Boy was I wrong with those big shysters.

I learned how to build my own simple website without all the frills of flash, scrolling text and tons of pictures. I presented my opportunity exactly as it was with factual information about my product and answered my phone calls and responded to all my e-mails and conducted my business professionally. I started to make money, after all that was my intent for being online with my business.

I learned the process of marketing and soon I was sharing with other online new comers the benefits of marketing online. When I started on line my learning curve on the computer had been nearly strait up hill and I promised God that if he would help me learn this complicated process, I would share my knowledge with others who were computer challenged, like me.

At last, I was beginning to make money online. I was not getting rich, but I was happy. I was content with the idea that I was building a business that I could enjoy during my retirement years. I found that as long as I was in control, I was doing OK….it was when I got involved with an opportunity that someone else controlled that I was wasting my time and efforts promoting someone else's product. There's an old saying "if you lose control, you lose your rear" and that is so true when it comes to marketing online for someone else.

I love the concept of working for myself and being in control of my future outcome. I have no one to blame but me and me alone. If my outcome is successful, then I have God to thank for giving me strength, wisdom and ability to work to my full potential if I want to.

In this day of technology it appears that everything is so complicated, especially for those of us who have been around for awhile. My generation didn't have all these fancy electronic gadgets that are supposed to make life easier. Sometimes I think that technology has taken the personal touch away from our society, to some degree.

In this process of learning how to market your new found gadget online, you will soon understand that the internet is all about information. The more information you can provide to the users that visit your website, the more of an authority you become to your potential clients.

While it might be simpler to follow the crowd and be an affiliate with some big company, the bottom line is, you will probably make more money online if you learn how to market and then promote all your own opportunities in your own system.

Don't get me wrong here folks, there are a lot of reputable companies out there on the internet, however, it may be awhile before you're able to find exactly what you're looking for. Do your research and then make an informed choice.

Look for a template that fits your liking. A template that will present your product or service in a professional manner will work the best. Don't settle for a cheap or free template, cheap is not always the best route to go. I recommend Word Press as an extremely valuable tool and may be a good place to get you started. You might want to "Google It" for templates and do some comparisons before you jump into something that you may regret.

Learning a Process – Applying Knowledge!

When starting a new business your first chore should be to build a solid, well designed business plan. A good marketing plan is essential if you want your business to be a success and grow into a profitable online venture. Without a well thought out business plan your chance of success will be diminished substantially.

When putting your marketing plan together, it's important to determine whether your business is going to be strictly an online business or if you're considering incorporating an off line business later on. Many experts recommend multi streams of income if possible. However, if incorporating two businesses together is too overwhelming for you to handle, then start with your online business first and learn the process of marketing and you will be able to use your knowledge for any future promotions whether you're marketing an online or off line opportunity.

Your online marketing techniques should include a number of different marketing programs that are designed to meet your personal needs for your product or service. You will want to include things such as an aggressive e-mail campaign strategy, automated submissions and promotion programs and your personal input by writing blogs, posting to forums and publishing articles in directories, all promoting your business. Not every type of marketing program is effective in all ventures so get some professional help if you're in question of what will work and won't work for your specific needs.

As your business progresses, and you become more familiar with all the different aspects of marketing you will probably want to do a bit of experimenting and determine for yourself exactly what you feel is the correct plan of attack for your personal business approach.

Unless you're extremely talented, you may want to concentrate on one marketing campaign at a time, unless you have an outstanding tracking system in place, plus a lot of time on your hands. Most experts agree that focusing on a single campaign at a time is the best way to get the maximum results, especially if you're a beginner.

Before shifting into high gear on your marketing campaigns, you should get a daily regiment down on exactly what it takes to get the job done, to see if the results are what you expect. There's going to be some changes you're going to have to adjust to, so be prepared to think outside the box of traditional marketing and be open to some new and exciting strategies as you're marketing professional, makes new recommendations along the way.

Branding Yourself and Your Business!

When marketing online there are certain duties that must be performed for us to brand your business effectively. Your name and your company name should be included in the keywords of your website. Both names should appear in the content of your website itself as well as in the source code of your site for search engine robots to spider. Every day you promote your business opportunity you're branding yourself and your company. In this article we will discuss some vital elements when working online that will help you to become profitable in your marketing endeavors.

You must be totally focused of your target market. Using the shotgun approach in marketing will not get you the positive results needed, for a successful marketing campaign. You must be laser focused on a specific product or type of clientele to get the most out of your marketing efforts.

A recognizable logo is helpful when trying to brand your product or service. A great example would be Pepsi. You can recognize the Pepsi logo anywhere, regardless of what language it may be written in. Most well known companies have used the same logo for years with minor changes. They will use the same color scheme on everything they advertise. The unique logo becomes their trademark.

Think of a slogan that applies to your business and use that slogan on everything you do. By consistently using your slogan it becomes almost as important as your name. You want potential clients to think of you when they read your slogan, or see your logo.

It is advised you keep your personal email and your business email separate even though you may be using both in your branding efforts.

The way you answer your phone will have a tremendous impact on the success of your business. A friendly, well spoken greeting on the phone is the first impression your caller will remember. A simple "Hello" may not be the best idea. Keep your greeting pleasant and rather short, but specific to your business.

The way your voicemail message is presented will make a tremendous impact on your caller's opinion of your organization, and you should be prompt when returning your follow up calls.

If you offer a newsletter, you should include your branding information, logos and slogans on every issue. This is one source of communication that is consistently before the general public. Use it wisely and your rewards will be substantial.

Always check and double check your spelling, punctuation and letter format on each and every piece of correspondence. You may miss an error occasionally, however, don't make a habit of just mailing out unprofessional looking information. If you don't know how to do these checks then hire the services of a professional to help you in this crucial area of effective marketing.

Your goal should be to make your initial contact with any client whether a new contact or an existing client, as pleasant as possible. You're not going to please everyone all the time, however, you should make as many clients and potential clients feel their experience has been professional and as friendly as possible.

If you use any kind of webcam, always dress professionally regardless of how well you know your client. If you set around with no shirt on and scratch your armpits during your presentation, you probably just lost your contact. Make sure your back ground is well organized. Nothing is worse than being distracted by background junk on this type of call.

Know your product or service like the back of your hand. A well given, factual presentation is vital for closing any sale on the phone. Don't try to impress your customer with a lot of hype or questionable stats unless you can prove your comments on the spot. "Too good to be true" comments, will normally be an instant turnoff for your potential customer. Keep your comments factual, realistic and relative to your business opportunity.

Keep focused on your overall business plan and work your plan. If you haven't already developed such a plan, do it now. This is a key piece of the overall marketing puzzle that is critical to your online success. If you don't know how to do this part of the process, secure the services of a professional marketer who can get you started on the right track to success.

The process we've talked about here today is focused on branding your opportunity with your name as well as your company name. Use the logos we talked about and the slogans as suggested and you will see an increase in your sales as well as a substantial increase in your profits.

Online marketing is fast becoming the most efficient method of marketing for many businesses. Even major retailers are using the internet to accomplish their sales quotas and projections. Why is there a major switch, from the traditional store front on Main Street to the internet? The answer is quite simple, bottom line profits.

Many of these major players are finding that the internet is so much more affordable to market their products because of the cost per customer is so much less that traditional methods of getting clients.

Earning top Positions on Google doesn't happen by chance, it happens by optimizing your site for search engine popularity. If you don't understand what optimization is all about, then seek the advice of a professional.

Keeping your business opportunity before the general public is critical for online success. There are numerous ways you can accomplish this ongoing task of promoting your business opportunity.

Work At Home - Own Your Own Business!

When starting your own business, family and friends may try to discourage you from pursing your goals of starting your own business opportunity. Just a couple of generations ago it was common practice for a person to land a job right out of high school, work there for 35 or 40 years and do the same old grind from 9-5 everyday 6 days a week. Many times other family members had retired from the same company for 3 or 4 generations.

In this new age of technology, and the fast pace of life today, attitudes have changed, and new ideas are being accepted into the market place much quicker. There are more and more new home based businesses popping up everyday especially on the internet.

There are a number of things one must consider when starting a new business. Whether it's down on Main Street in your home town or trying to establish a presence on the internet, starting a new business requires certain things right from the beginning. A quality product that is useed by others and requires an ongoing resupply for daily use or consumption is preferred. Build a lasting relationship with other people or businesses is imperative. And the list can go on and on.

If you're new to the internet and looking for a product or service to market, watch for shysters who are interested in one thing and that is to make a quick buck by taking advantage of your lack of knowledge. Unfortunately there are those who have a scheme for promoting their snake oil tactics and with their smooth talk and advertisements make their opportunity look so good you get suckered into something that makes the promoter a lot of money, and you end up with some kind of worthless inventory or a program that doesn't work.

To begin with, make sure that you take the time and do your research before making a commitment of your time and money on a legitimate venture and not worthless junk. A little more time in the beginning will save you a lot of money and time in the future..

You're not alone in this venture so don't get discouraged. We've all started from scratch and worked hard to get where we are today. There were many times I thought about just throwing in the towel, and applying for a 9-5 job with no responsibilities. That doesn't fit my personality, nor does it provide enough income for me to give that situation a second thought.

I found that the big money is made by working for myself in my own home based business, instead of working for someone else; making them rich and still couldn't keep the boss happy. If your interest is starting your own home based business, working for yourself and the enjoying the benefits working for yourself provides, then there are a couple of pointers I would like to share with you.

Whether you decide to work in a brick and mortar store or work from home, your commitment must remain strong. The cost of starting a new business is going to be considerably more if you decide on a store front instead of pursing the online venture. It may even require more time with the online business, because the promotions of online business is totally different than what you are accustom to in a regular store front business setting.

Just because you put up a website presenting your product or service, doesn't mean that you will be flooded with orders. It's going to take time and commitment for your new project to become a paying situation. Just be prepared to spend an incredible amount of time in the beginning, however, the final rewards of owning your own business and working from home is worth the sacrifices.

If you don't have the skills of putting together a viable business plan, you may want to secure the services of a professional to help you get started on the right track. There are many reliable marketing specialists who can help you with this daunting task.

Be prepared to manage your time effectively. Many individuals can't work from home because they don't have the ability to avoid all the distractions around the house. There's always going to be a honey do list that will distract you if you permit it to happen. I'm not saying to let everything go to pot around the house, but there has to be a time designated for certain things to happen.

You need to consider whether your personality traits are conducive to working for yourself. You're the one who's going to be in contact with any outside contacts and if your personality sucks, then you may be at somewhat of a disadvantage in closing as many sales as your need, to survive in this business.

If you're confident that you can change some of these personality traits and you are a self starter then you may have a chance of surviving this internet challenge. Most of the obstacles we face in working for ourselves can be overcome with a strong determination to make this whole gig happen. Your mental thoughts will play a huge role in a successful outcome of your online venture.

If you have issues with helping other people, you're probably going to hit the wall rather quickly. This business is all about helping others and building relationships. If you have a problem with this, then you must change your attitude before you go any farther in your online pursuit.

The First Steps to Online Success!

Most people believe, if they don't have a college education and a diploma in hand, their chance of success is limited in regard to starting their own online business. Nothing could be further from the truth. Some of today's self made Billionaires went to college but never got a diploma. If you're truly committed to your online dreams and have access to some available capital, you can build an online business that can provide a comfortable on line income for the rest of your life.

The internet is all about information and the technology of the internet is ever changing, so any new twist to any old idea could become the next big dot com boom.

When you start your venture on the internet there are no guarantees that you will be successful. As a matter of fact, if you started a new online business today, the chance of being in business 6 months from now, is only about a three percent. There's a reason that businesses fail on line. The primary reason is because the business owners doesn't know how to market online. They're uninformed and don't know who to turn to or where to go to find the right information. Seek the help of a professional marketer who specializes in this type of consulting.

The key to any successful business venture, is marketing. Just having a good looking website, with a lot of elaborate flashy features doesn't necessarily mean that anyone will see your website. Unless your site is optimized for the search engines, you won't get anywhere, because no one will find your site. If users can't find your business opportunity, then your dead in the water before you ever start.

Your site may have a ton of information in it, and people may even know about the product you're marketing but if the search engines don't position your site with a good page rank no one will ever find you. The question is often asks…."then how does a person promote their home based business or products?"

There are numerous ways you can market your home based business. Traditional methods include the local newspaper with classified advertisement which was the method of choice for years. Your choice may be mailing flyers that was so popular for awhile. These methods of advertising can be limited in effectiveness and can become very costly. So think outside the box for other methods of getting your opportunity in front of the masses. The internet is the preferred way to promote your business.

The most effective way to market any home based business is to optimize your site and present it to the search engines correctly. The internet is a worldwide market, permitting you to expose your business to literally millions and millions of businesses and potential clients around the world all at the same time.

This is where the search engine plays their important role by generating traffic to your website. It's imperative that you understand what the search engines expect in the source code of your website. It's going to take you countless hours of intense study to understand how to do this all important function of optimization. There's no way you're going to learn this process overnight, so be patient.

The general public considers Google the leader in search engines. Many optimization specialist over look some of the other search engines, which could be just as important in any successful marketing campaign. Each of these engines has a different algorithm that they permit, so you must understand the concept of their guidelines and you must make sure your site is optimized accordingly. Trying to shortcut this part of marketing is like shooting yourself in the foot.

Your goal should be to have a page one or page two ranking on each of the major search engines. The average user will not search past page one or possibly page two to find information on any product or service they query with a search engine. The higher your page rank the more traffic you should get. If you don't have traffic....you won't make sales....if you don't have sales....you won't make any money. I think you're beginning to see the picture here.

It's understandable that anyone can start an online business and 95-97% if those businesses will wind up as failures, however, with the proper training, mentoring and coaching you can be one of the survivors of this rewarding business called "online marketing.

If you don't understand the process, then you should seek the advice of a professional and get started today. The process of marketing your product or service effectively online is an art and a science and not everyone is going to comprehend what it's all about. Take your first step right now, and become one of the few who will become successful in their dreams of owning their own profitable online business.

Commitment - Determination - Success!

Commitment - Determination - Success!

When we talk about success in our lives, different scenarios goes through our minds on what success really means to us and what we must do to make success happen in our life. All of us have some degree of desire to become successful in our personal life so we can enjoy a good career, find the right soul mate, live in a beautiful home, drive a nice car etc., you know all the material things in life that we've been told during our adolescent years, that will make us happy and successful.

Having stuff in our life is great to a point; however, it's easy to become over zealous on accumulating stuff and never achieve true success in our life. A well balanced grasp on all aspects of our life should be considered in this process. Our personal, spiritual, business and family life all are important, but must have different priorities to maintain a good balance, for us to be successful.

It doesn't matter which area of our lives we put first on our list, there are two factors that will be decisive in our future and the success we achieve. The commitment we have to be successful and the determination to pursue our dreams are the two controlling factors that will determine if we succeed or not. Determination and Commitment are what we need to talk about here today.

You must be fully committed, that you will achieve what you want without giving up. There may be times when you need to make a little detour, and that's acceptable. You must believe without any reservations, that you can achieve your goals, and fulfill your dreams. Once you make up your mind and determine that you are going to do it, you will then tap into your inner strengths and your dreams of success will become more vivid, and your goals will start to materialize before your very eyes.

You may need to write down some of your dreams and goals on paper so you can refer back to your notes and review what you committed to in the beginning of this process. You may find it helpful to even put a specific date, on when you're committed to accomplish your goals. Whatever you need to do to keep your plan in the fore front of your daily routine, do it.

List what you want to accomplish in the short term as well as any long term goals you may want to accomplish. You must visualize in your mind's eye what you're going to accomplish and then pursue your hopes and dreams with determination.

Now that you've formed a plan of action and you're determined to make it happen, then comes the critical part of this incredible journey. You must make a commitment to do whatever it takes to fulfill your dreams. Commitment is where most people fail, in their efforts in becoming successful. If you're not willing to make a commitment, then all of your dreams, planning and determination you once had, becomes of no value to anyone; especially to yourself.

All of us have different levels of determination and commitment. This is human nature because we are all different intellectually, physically, and spiritually and what one considers success, may mean nothing to the privileged who never worked a day in their life. Don't be concerned with everyone around you and their goal's, but focus on what it take for you to become all that you want to be.

The Power of Article Marketing!

The Power of Article Marketing!

In today's online market place, a little imagination can go along ways in promoting your business opportunity. There are numerous methods of promoting your website and many of the various methods of marketing may be combined and really turn out to be a fantastic combination of effective marketing strategies.

The whole purpose of promoting your opportunity online is to get traffic to your site and hopefully someone visiting your website will like your information well enough to make a purchase. If a user makes a purchase you will make a profit or a commission depending on how you have your system setup. This is the whole concept of promoting on line. However, there are proven methods of enhancing your chances for your online success.

Providing quality information for the users is what will drive traffic to your site. There is only so much that can be included in a website, so it becomes necessary to provide additional information to your clients as well as people on your mailing list. This can be accomplished in a couple of ways. Writing a weekly or monthly newsletter would be a medium of communication that would keep them informed of new and exciting products you may have to offer. Many promoters overlook this type of information sharing opportunity all together and as a result are limiting their chances of a successful online future.

Writing articles is one of the most powerful driving forces that will draw new contacts to your website. There are other advantages of writing articles regarding the search engines to. The search engines uses keyword rich content in their algorithms to rank your website in all of their search results pages when a query is made by a user. The higher the page rank of your site, the more traffic that will be referred to your website from the search engines. In simple math the more traffic you get, the more sales can be made and the more money you make.

Once you have established yourself as a trustworthy information source by the users, you will have a steady flow of traffic coming back to your site for more information. One well written article regarding your product or service is priceless. Soon your reputation will spread to friends, business contacts and other parties of interest regarding the opportunities you write about.

Your writings should be focused on keywords and keyword phrases about your business opportunity. When a potential client types a query in the search area of their browser, they are normally looking for a specific subject matter. This is where the keywords come into play. If your keyword rich article has been indexed by the search engines then hopefully the engines will display your opportunity to the user who queried that same keyword or phrases.

The critical issue here is to have your article, website, or newsletter with an acceptable balance of keywords to content ratio that is required by the search engine algorithms. There are different schools of thought of what is the correct ratio. Some experts feel that 10-15 % keyword saturation is acceptable. Others may say that 5-7% is the acceptable ratio. I personally have tried both of these ratios and both worked well. A word of caution here, some times less keywords is more effective as long as the keywords are strategically placed in your writings. The search engines are really strict about keyword stuffing and will penalize you severally even to the point of banning your site. So be very careful in this part of your writings. Personally I wouldn't try to get away with fifteen percent saturation, that's pushing the envelope a bit too far.

Good article content is imperative to the success of writing. As we've discussed in some of our other writings, "Content is King" whether in your website or in your writings. Your articles must be informative, entertaining and without a lot of hype and questionable content.

When writing for your website, newsletters or marketing articles you should use good grammar and always check for correct spelling. Your writing must come across to the reader as being well researched and totally professional. This will help you build a bond between you and the reader which will develop into a reputation that you are truly an expert regarding your topic and business opportunity.

In all of your writings, always include your links pointing the user to your website, ezines, newsletters or other articles regarding like subjects. Be careful not to put multiple links in the content of your writings, this may distract the reader before they are able to get the full purpose of what you're writing about.

Many authors will only include links in a resource box at the end of their content. In the resource box you can include a brief description of your site, and 2-3 links where you want the user to go. This may include a sign up page where you can capture the user's information for future mailings. If the user likes the information in your ezine or article they will be more receptive in giving you their information as well as being more responsive to any future opportunities you may share with your readers.

This article has been a general overview of some of the important things to consider in your writing experiences. If you're serious about writing you should do some study and research regarding this powerful method of marketing online. Good Luck in your article marketing efforts.

Powerful Marketing Trends!

Powerful Marketing Trends!

Search engines are constantly changing their algorithms, which are the rules and guidelines the engines use for calculating page rank for all websites. These rule changes are not to confuse the laymen, but are used by the search engines as a method to give all users of the internet a fair and balanced chance for positioning your website online for search purposes. After the search engine robots spider any website, the information they gather is entered into a database and that information is used to establish page rankings. Like anything else in life, rules change.

Looking at this whole situation from a marketer's standpoint, just about the time you think you understand everything there is to know about this process, the engines will change the rules again. Sometimes these changes will hurt your page rank position while other times the new changes will help your rankings. The secret here is to learn about these changes, understand the changes, and then use the suggestions of the search engines to our advantage so you can get maximum online exposure for your web site.

Many of the guidelines used by the search engines a few years ago are now totally obsolete. For the SEO Specialist who works with the search engine guidelines every day, these new changes have gradually been implemented into their promotional strategies over a period of time. For the individual who only works with optimization occasionally or may not be aware of some of these recent changes, by being un-informed and using old methods in their marketing campaigns, you may actually be less effective in your promotion efforts than before.

There are a couple of new trends that has taken the internet by storm over the last few months. There are mixed emotions from some experts of the effectiveness of these new trends.

One of those interesting trends has been the advent of the social media explosion. There are some good and bad features of this new trend as there is with any new cool thing that suddenly appears. Reactions within the optimization community are controversial and some feel social media popularity is nothing more than a flash in a pan and will soon fade off into the sunset. Of course there will always be a segment of the internet that will capitalize on some negative part of the market and probably will do well.

Blogging is another interesting segment of the market that has really became powerful in the search engine marketing arena. Blogs can help your reputation online or blogging can kill your personal reputation because of questionable personal content or pictures you may have posted in fun. When used correctly, blogging can be extremely powerful in promoting your business opportunity by consistently keeping your business opportunity in front of the general public.

By using your business blog professionally and posting on a regular basis, you can introduce new products, provide information about your existing products, stimulate old ideas with a new spin or just share good information with your users. Blogging can help you gain "Top Position on Google" and other fine search engines.

By incorporating video presentations in your blogs you may establish yourself as a leader in a particular field of marketing. Keep your videos short to about 3 - 4 minutes in length. Anything more than that your users will become bored and probably click off pretty quick. Producing several short videos will be more powerful than one long and boring 10 minute video.

If you're into Search Engine Optimization you can build an incredible amount of links to your primary business, as well as linking to your network friends with the use of blogs. You can take this process one step further, and optimize your blog with some of the keywords or keyword phrases that you use in your business site. You can make your blog keyword specific which can help you gain top page ranks with the search engines.

By blogging you can increase your popularity within your business community and your peers. The internet is all about information and if you are passionate in your writings, with keyword rich content you can become the authority on almost any subject matter. Keep your blogs informative, and you can build a user list of people who are willing to accept your opinion as truthful and sincere and when the user is ready to make a purchase, they will automatically think of you and your product or service. This is how you establish yourself as the professional in your field of endeavors.

Online Business Opportunity!

Online Business Opportunity!

There's an incredible amount of information that must be assimilate before a person can become effective in their online marketing efforts. If you're just starting out in an online marketing business, this whole process is going to seem insurmountable at times. Don't panic, just hang in there it will come. Many of us are somewhat computer challenged anyway, which doesn't help our learning process in the least.

When marketing online, every time you get one issue resolved, it appears something else comes up that you need to learn. This is normal even when you've been in the business for awhile. This is all part of the learning process you must accept or you'll get behind the power curve rather quickly in this business.

Marketing procedures used a short time ago can become out dated overnight, however, if you're able to adapt to these changes your chances of success will be enhanced substantially. The search engines are constantly changing their algorithms in order to make the marketing playing field as fair as possible to all marketers, not just the old established professionals. These changes make it possible so you can have an equal opportunity in this ever changing world called internet marketing.

Unfortunately there are some unscrupulous marketers out there who have absolutely no interest in your online success. Their only purpose is to con you and as many other individuals as possible into purchasing their products even though their opportunities are questionable at best. After awhile you will get wise on how to look for this type of questionable offerings. Just remember...."If it sounds too good to be true" then click off that email or web site immediately. There's plenty of legitimate offerings out there that will do exactly what they say they will do....and more.

There are a few things to look for that will save you some time and money.

     1) Look for a product that is used by the general public on a daily basis.
     2) Look for a product that is consumed by the users and must be re-ordered on a regular basis.
     3) Look for a product you can purchase at a fair wholesale price.
     4) Look for a company that has adequate stock so you can delivery to your customers.
     5) Look for a company that has a good support system for their sales representatives.

Work hard in developing a strong customer base that will respond to your offering of related products when you follow up with e-mail campaigns, auto responder follow ups or with a personal phone call from you or your staff.

Do some extensive research, before you make that final commitment on which product or service you want to promote in your new venture. There are hundreds of thousands of opportunities to be found online, however, by choosing the wrong product to market now; could set you back light years when building a profitable online venture. A little additional time spent on research in the beginning will save you an incredible amount of time in the future.

Online statistics show that 97% of all online businesses fail. This leaves only a 3% success ratio, so it's imperative that you do it right the first time....there will probably not be a second chance if you fail on the first time around.

I think it's important here to talk about some of the reasons online businesses fail.

Normally an individuals expectations are not realistic. They believe they can become an overnight millionaire and be able to buy large homes all over the world, drive a Bentley, and have servants and maids at their beck and call 24 hours a day. In the real world this doesn't happen. It takes a lot of dedication and commitment to make a steady flow of income on line. If anyone tell you something different than that....they're lying to you.

The scenario we just talk about doesn't happen in the off line business world, so what makes people think they can do it online? There's only one answer....and that's greed. Greed will kill a good deal every time.

If you're truly serious about your online future, then you must start today and learn what to look for in your research. Find a company that provides the steps we talked about in the scenerio above. You're going to find some advertisement that will promise you the moon. Don't believe it just go to the next opportunity. You'll know when you find that special opportunity.

Find a professional marketer who you can trust, a professional that will help you develop a plan, teach you how to follow the plan and give you the help you so rightly deserve. This is a process and you must learn the process to become one of the three percent that really makes their living online.

Building a Powerful Online Presence!

There are a several different classes of people who use the internet on a regular basis. There are those who are interested in chit chat with friends and socializing in general. Then there are those who are looking for a soul mate who they can spend the rest of their life with. There's the serious user who uses the internet to research on a particular subject matter before making any choices. Then there's the serious individual who is interested in using the internet for a source of income. The individuals who wants to make an income online is who we want to talk about today and share some vital information with you that will help you become a better online marketer.

Sit down right now, and do some serious planning about your future and what it's going to take for you to become a successful online business. You've probably already spent a great deal of time, money and some mental anguish building a website. This is an important part of your overall plan because this is where your potential clients are going to find out more about your business opportunity you want them to purchase. Don't take shortcuts with this part of your building process.

A web site must become your online sales person, which can present the features and benefits of your opportunity for the world to see. It must include adequate information about you, your business and of course what's in it for the potential customer, if the user participates in your business proposal. This is a lot of information that a prospect must absorb in a relatively short time span when visiting your web site for the first time.

Many website owners fail to incorporate some of the most basis strategies of web site design, structure and optimization in their site and then wonder why they are'nt getting the traffic or conversions they think they deserve.

Many times it can be something very simple that has been left out of their website during the construction process. In my SEO Consulting experience I've witnessed sites that had excellent eye appeal to the user, however, there was no contact information where the potential client could place an order or get help with support. You can have the best product, flashy website, good content etc., but if the customer can't conveniently find your contact information, your sale is dead before you get started.

When you have a user click on your site, you have just a few seconds to capture that individuals attention, create a need for your product or service, make the choice to participate in your opportunity and then make that all important decision to make the purchase. If any one of these aspects is missing in your site, the potential client will click off your site, and go to another site offering a like product. Someone always wins in a sales situation. Either you win with the sale, or the customers win by saying no! Only when you win, does it make you any money.

Marketing online is all about building a relationship with your prospect, filling their needs and providing support if needed. You must build a trust with the client before they will give you their personal information. The website must provide good keyword rich content pertaining to your product or service and must create a sense of fulfillment for the client. There are three factors you must address in order to satisfy the customers positive response. Do they need it? Do they like it? Can they afford it?

This is where your good content is vital, simply because the customer has to make up their mind based on those 3 basis concepts. Will your product fill their needs? Once that hurdle is cleared, then do they like the idea that your product will do the job well enough for them to like it so much, that they make a right choice because it's the thing to do. This is a simple process, however, if your approach is made strictly from a sales standpoint your efforts will probably fail.

Don't try to force sell an individual, but provide good information and the sales process will evolve on its own good merits. Avoid using pop-over's and pop-under's at all cost.

After reading this article it should be clear to all of us, there is a right way and a wrong way to build a web site and then optimize that website for maximum effectiveness for the users as well as the search engines. If you don't know how to do this process, get the help of a professional to help you build your opportunity the right way. This is particularly important if you don't consider yourself a sales person or an optimization specialist. Having a plan is great; however, if you can't personally implement that plan into a profitable venture, then your efforts are in vain.

Home Based Business - Is it for You?

 The Home Based Business concept has exploded in it's online popularity in recent months. The surge on the internet for Home Based Business has soared to heights that no one anticipated would ever happen. More and more people are looking to make some extra dollars every month to supplement their mortgage payment, car payments, pay the utilities, and set a little aside for their retirement fund or colloge for the kids. With the down sizing of major corporations, international trade being totally out of control and confidence in our government dwindling, the general public is losing faith that something postive can happen to the average working man anytime soon.

Starting a Home Based Business is the only alternative for many of these individuals who are caught in this fire storm of doom and gloom that was created by someone else and they had nothing to do with. We've all been faced with difficult situations during our life time and had to make some drastic choices. Our choices are rather simple, we can either step back for a moment and figure out what to do, and do it, or curl up in our own litle world and feel sorry for ourselves and gradually wither away to a point of no return.

There's money to be made on the internet, but it's going to take a lot of hard work, patience and dedication to make it all happen. The internet is not for everybody....only 3-5% of the people online make money so how does one learn how to make a secondary income they hear so many people brag about? It going to take a lot of study, trial and error, going to online classes to learn the process of marketing online plus a commitment to work 12-14 hours a day if necessary, if you want to make it happen in the near future.

You may be good at expressing your inner soul by writing. Major companies and small businesses are constantly on the look out for people who can research a particular subject matter and then write an informative article of their findings. There is a tremendous need for ghost writers in this business and a very good living can be made by writing for other people.

There are a number of different things online you could promote for someone else. You can join affiliate sites for free. With this type of set-up you would be marketing someone else's business opportunity and getting paid a commmission for what you sell. Most people don't find that they can make enough money with this type of marketing to replace much of their lost income. However, if you find something that you enjoy doing and fills the void of your lost income, that may be what your looking for.

Do some online research, and you will find any number of niche markets that may appeal to you. Some of these markets may even be in the same vocation you where previously employeed in. Be cautious here, and don't jump into the first program you look at. Be diligent, do your due diligence and then make an informed choice of what's best for you and your family.

You're not going to be an overnight success, so don't get discouraged if you don't start making big money in the first week, maybe the first month or longer. Your goals should be realistic and achievable if your willing to put in the time and effort to learn the process of online marketing. Don't set your expectations to high and you won't be disappointed. This is a learning process so be consistant, persistant, in this ever learning process called online marketing.

If you don't understand what this gig is all about, then seek the help of a professional marketer who specializes in helping people who are uninformed. Regardless of what vocation you have been in before or any new venture you enter in the future, there is a learning process that may take place. Some of us have a steeper uphill climb to learn this process, and others breeze through this learning maze with ease.

If we listed all the available online business opportunties, the list would be endless. Use your imagination a little and recall what you've really enjoyed and was good at during your business career. Since you already have a fair amount of knowledge on that particular line of work, then think of all the possibilities on how you might become a teacher, consultant, recruiter, mentor and you can add to this list with many other areas of that particular business. With your current knowledge you may be considered by some as being a professional already. Use your past experience and knowledge to your advantage, and build a strong home based business on what you know right now. Then add to your knowledge as your business grows and you become more familiar with your new exciting online career.

Article Marketing - The Next Phenomenon!

If you've been in the marketing online business for awhile and your business is stagnant or just up and died, then maybe a new direction will help you resurrect your business to a profitable marketing venture.

We all know that having visitors come to our site is a given if we're going to survive in business whether it's an online business or a storefront on the busiest corner of your home town. If your old methods have become non effective or you've lost interest, the end result is the same. No Visitors.....No Sales.....No Money. In simple business terms this means that you close your doors and you're out of business.

The goal here is to get users who are interested in your product or service to notice you and your online opportunity. There are numerous ways this can be accomplished if you're willing to put forth a reasonable effort.

There's a new trend that is gaining a lot of popularity that I've tried and it works. The most effective way to get laser focused users to your site is by writing articles about your product or service. The internet is all about information and according to some marketing expert's, article marketing is going to be the next big internet phenomenon. There was many millionaires made during the dot come era and I agree we are on the verge of one of the biggest happenings in internet history.

By writing good keyword rich articles with links back to your web site, you can keep users informed about your business opportunity. Once a user opts in and becomes a part of your database you can keep your targeted individual informed with the use of auto responders until they either opt out or become a customer. Each article you write will have a different approach and the user will soon look forward to your new information in your next article.

The search engines love articles with relevant content about your web site offering and will rank you higher in their algorithm which will be a tremendous surge to your online success.

There is a very simple process you can follow to get started, then make any changes that may help your accomplish your online marketing goals in your overall marketing process.

1. First of all you must be willing to take the time and write articles. If you don't know how to write....you must learn how to write. You learn to write, by writing. As you continue to put your thoughts on paper, you will become a better writer and more effective.

2. In your articles it's imperative you put some links back to the home page of your site. Linking is another heavy weighted part of the search engines algorithms which will help you gain search engine popularity.

3. Having your contact information displayed every time you write an article is important. It is a good rule of thumb to include your name, phone number, Skype information and a workable email address that you check several times a day.

4. You may want to build a splash page with a brief description of your business opportunity and invite users to give you their contact information for additional features of your product or service. I have found that asking for an e-mail address only will get the best response for the users. The more information to try to get from the user on the original contact will be a turn off for most individuals.

5. Create an offer that makes the user want to opt in for more information. You will have to get a bit creative here without overwhelming the user with a lot of detail. A opt in form on your splash page is important to capture the users contact information.

6. Start writing today about any area of interest you may have and publish your articles whether you think the article is good or bad. Someone may view what you think is bad, and will respond with an order. You can publish your articles to blogs, forums etc… Check out the advantages of article directories and publish your writings to one or more directories on a regular basis. Some directories have the feature of posting your article to many other directories when you post to their system.

If you're truly serious about your marketing future and success, don't waste another day. If you haven't checked out the power of article marketing, check it out and get started today.

Title Tag Tips for Your Web Site!

The title tag in the source code of your web site is where you generate the title that appears on the internet when a search query is made. When you query a search term in the search box of your favorite browser, the clickable link that appears is exactly what you instructed the search engines to put there. The search engine places a substantial amount of weight on how this aspect of optimization is worded and will add or deduct from your page rankings accordingly. It is imperative that you get it right if you want your SEO efforts to be effective and successful.

There are two aspects we must consider when discussing the issue of title tags, such as your page rankings gaining popularity with the search engines and the click through rate of the users. There are varied opinions on these issues, however, I want share with you in this article some of the important basics of optimization to your title tags.

There are some questions regarding the amount of characters in the title which may be considered acceptable by the search engines. Some search engines are emphatic that you should have no more than a total of sixty characters in your title while others endorse a hundred or more characters as being acceptable.

Based on my experience as a SEO Consultant, a short, concise, easy to read, keyword rich title is the most acceptable by the search engines and will earn you top page ranking quicker than any other single factor of optimization. A character count of anything between 60 and 100 characters will be extremely powerful if you word your title correctly. The title must be easy for the user to understand as well as being search engine friendly. The Title Tag is considered by many experts as the eyes to your web site content, and is one of the most important single element of optimization.

It's imperative that you include your main keywords in this title. A total of three or four keywords in your title will make a huge difference in the popularity of your site. The structure here should be some form of a specific message of what your site is all about. Do'nt repeat any keyword in your title, or the search engine may consider it as keyword stuffing and penalize you with lower page rankings. This small issue can evolve into a major set back of your web site with some of the search engines.

You must capture the attention of your user rather quickly, so make your title appealing enough for the person viewing your information so they will click on your link and enter your site for more information. If at all possible you should focus your main keyword as near the center of your keyword rich title as possible. Your title should reach out and grab the attention of the user and search engine robots. The title is where the user will determine whether or not they are going to look further at your business opportunity. The search engines puts a huge amount of weight on this aspect of your web site and may move your ranking up and down accordingly. A good balance of user friendly and search engine friendly is important here....so spend a little more time with this area of optimization to get it right.

In my experience I have witnessed some sites that didn't even have a title tag on their site and the site owner couldn't understand why they had no traffic. A good rule of thumb here would be....not to put any word in your title that may be considered as a non keyword related word in your web content.

Never use all upper case characters in your title tag. Use upper case for the first letter only of each word in your title tag…..do not bold your title, and don't use italics, underscores or underlines. The use of hypens and pipes are acceptable characters you can use within a title.

If you want to maximize your search engine rankings use a unique title on each page of your website. By using different keyword rich titles on each page you can get recognition for multiple keywords enhancing your chances of Top Positions on Google and other fine search engines in more than one category.

If you have access to more than one text editor, check the your spelling after each change you make in your site and make sure the spelling, punctuation and structure of your site it acceptable. This is extremely important in the Title Tag, Meta Tag and Keyword areas of your source code. A misspelled word will turn off some readers rather quickly and those spelling errors may be considered by some to be unprofessional. To many misspelled keywords in your title tag or your web site will be a major disaster for you with the search engines.

There's one function of online marketing that we've all overlooked that has become an important part marketing for acquiring leads and will contribute substantially to your online success.

Most people have seen or heard of the term RSS feeds but don't understand anything about the purpose of these feeds. RSS is the acronym for "really simple syndication" which are simply online news feds just like the news papers use to distribute their latest news to their publishers.

The Power of Article Writing!

The Power of Article Writing!

Article writing is fast becoming the trendy thing to do on the internet for those who want to get a web site recognized by the search engines quickly. Not only is this method of communication trendy....it's powerfully effective. The overall goal of writing informative content in articles, emails or newsletters is to inform the public of your business opportunity. By writing good content your readers will soon consider you as a reliable source for quality information regarding a particular subject matter.

The purpose of anyone's web site is to advertise their product or service. Whether it's a well known product or a necessary service we use every day the power of advertising will remain a powerful force to get your message out to the masses of online users. It's rather simple to slip in some form of advertising about your opportunity in your article writing. However, don't overdo this privilege here because the users will pick up on your sneaky tactics and will click off your writings quickly.

When publicizing a web site with the use of articles writing you should get a whole new audience of potential clients within a very short time. The variations in your writings which happens unconsciously when you write, will put a new spin on your information and will many times trigger a positive response and generate new users.

Links, back links, cross links and reciprocal links all play an important function in this process. Placing links in your writings pointing to your web site is a sure way to direct people to the information you want them to look at. There will be other companies that will pick up your writings and back links to your web site. As we've discussed on numerous occasions, linking is critical for getting the search engines to rank your page with a top position on the internet.

By writing and posting your articles to multiple sources [blogs, forum, directories] your article will get distributed, picked up and republished by sources that you won't even know about. This is the power of the internet working to your advantage. The more you write the more poplar you and your opportunity will become. This is another form of optimization that most people don't even consider as remotely important to your success, however, this part of the process is one of the most crucial parts of the whole concept of search engine marketing and optimization.

The first thing a user or search engine sees when they click on your site is the title of your article. Your title should stand out and catch the attention of the reader or search engine immediately. Your title doesn't have to be catchy, but the title must be specific, and convincing. There must be some allure to the title to catch the viewer's attention so they will keep reading what you have to say. By using relevant keywords or phrases somewhere in your title will help catch the attention of reader and search engines.

To consistently write compelling content for your articles you must do some extensive research to become informed about the full features and benefits of what you're selling. This is all part of the process of being informed and being able to convey your information to the masses on the internet. You'll be amazed how much you will learn in your research process. You can't put a price on knowledge.....knowledge is acquired and is priceless.

The content of your article is where you can promote your opportunity a bit more aggressively. Don't be to bold with your comments here, but be very specific of the features and benefits of your opportunity. This is where you should emphasis your keywords, and your links to gain the credibility of the search engines for page ranking. This is where you will establish a trust of the user so they can make that all important choice to either to participate in your offering .... or not to participate.

A well written and convincing short summary of your article may be all a person needs to make their decision to participate in your opportunity. Some like to place a summary of the article is all about at the beginning of the article, while others prefer to use a summary at the end to recap the high points of the article itself. Experiment with this issue and see which works best for you.

If your posting to directories, the authors Bio section of the directory is where you will give your audience the information on how to get in touch with you. Hopefully you were able to get the users attention with your content information that they will want to read more of your information. Include your contact information with your name, phone number, a workable e-mail address and don't forget to create a link to your web site.

Build a Simple Business Plan - Then Work Your Plan!

Build a Simple Business Plan - Then Work Your Plan!

Have you been thinking of starting your own online business and don't know where to start? You've probably heard about all the big money you can make from throwing up a simple web site online, and then kicking back and watching your bank account grow so fast you can't keep up with your account balances. Does this sound likes it's too good to be true? Let me tell you my friends, it definitely is way too good to be true.

Marketing on the internet is a lot of work if you want to make a respectful income. There are a few important things you must commit to before jumping into this venture with both feet. Unless you have a business plan [a roadmap if you will] and follow that plan, you will probably not experience the level of success you've only dreamed about till now.

First of all you must learn the process of marketing. You don't have to be a fantastic salesperson to market on line. However, once you learn the process, you will need to follow a regiment of time management and work consistently in promoting your business opportunity.

Successful marketers agree that a hit and miss marketing strategy will never get the job done. You must build a schedule just like you're accustom to with your regular 9-5 job. Later on in this venture you may be able to work only a couple of hours per day and make all the money you need. With others of us it may take 12-14 hours per day or more to accomplish our goals.

You can start out by doing a couple of marketing strategies that someone may have shared with you before you decided to pursue this awesome venture. When you've perfected those couple of chores to where they have become second nature, then immediately add a couple more chores that will blend with the original chores and promote all of your chores with vigor. This will evolve into a daily task that will become as common as eating three square meals a day.

Once you get the basis under your belt and you're able to do the multiple chores effectively, then you need to acquire some method of following your progress. You need to test your marketing effectiveness on a regular basis. If you don't know where you're going, then you won't know when you get there. If you don't know where you've been, then you won't know what direction to pursue next. Having a plan, working that plan, and following the progress of your plan are just some of the duties you must pay close attention to if you want to build that profitable business you've only dreamed about. By keeping track of your progress, you can make adjustments rather quickly in order to be more productive in your marketing efforts.

In one of our recent articles, we shared with you the idea of building a list, of people who have requested additional information. Since these users have already expressed an interest in your opportunity, it should make it easier for your potential client to be receptive to your offerings. Building a list is an excellent way to generate prospects for your products or service.

The use of auto responders will keep your name and business opportunity in front of your potential clients. By keeping your information in front of potential clients, you can build a trust in that user and when you send out some new automated information, the user will feel comfortable about reviewing what you have to offer. You will see sales starting to take place as a result of your persistent efforts, because you gave your contacts relevant information about your business opportunity.

Online marketing isn't real complicated and doesn't fall into the category of rocket science; however, there is a well defined process that one must follow to become a successful online marketer. If you're truly serious about developing your marketing skills [not selling] then you must take the initiative to learn the process, then follow the process before you will reap the rewards for your marketing efforts.

I urge you to study the various aspects of marketing and apply the things you learn and build a future that includes multi streams of residual income for you and your family. This is what online marketing is all about.

Article Marketing

Article Marketing

Writing articles, submiting your information up to the web and publication of your writings are getting more popular every day. If you don't write and post to blogs, forums, and message boards or send out informative emails on a regular basis, you're missing a tremendous opportunity to promote your business opportunity.

As we've discussed in some of our recent writings, you learn to write by writing. Writing from the heart with good relevant information has contributed to the success of many online businesses. We live in an information-based society, so it makes a lot of sense to take advantage of this form of communication. This type of medium is one of the most effective techniques of converting a prospect into a buyer.

Within your arsenal of marketing tools most of us have some form of program that helps us to distribute our information much easier than the methods used a couple of years ago. There are submitters you can find online that will really make the chore of publishing more tolerable. Do a Google search and see the various types of programs being offered regarding submitters. A good submitter is worth its weight in gold. This writer is not endorsing any particular program being offered. This is merely a suggestion of one way to make your submission process quicker and to more users, thus giving your opportunity more exposure.

We talk a lot about optimization. However, there are other aspects of article marketing that we need to consider.

• Branding....There is only one reason that anyone writes and publishs articles, and that is to keep our audience informed about you and your business opportunities. If we want to become well known personally, or our get our business name recognized as a household icon, then branding become essential in our marketing efforts.

• Lead Generation....We all know that without people to talk to, we will never be able sell our products or services. There are many options we can pursue in the never ending saga of lead generation. Do some research regarding this subject and find the best source of lead generation for your particular business opportunity.

• Promotion…..There are countless people who know how to build a website, however, they don't have a clue on how to promote their business. This is a process that you can learn and is becoming more and more important that you learn as much as you can about this process, and implement this knowledge into the marketing strategies regarding your product or service.

If your information is not laser focused regarding the three issues discussed above, you will definitely fail in your marketing efforts. By writing good relevant content in your website as well as your writings your reading audience will respond by staying in your site longer which gives your reader more time to make a positive choice of purchasing your services.

The links that can be generated with article marketing is astounding. We all know that the search engines put an incredible amount of weight on the amount of links, back links and cross linking that they find when the robots spider our web sites. By aggressively promoting your articles you will experience a natural magnet effect of drawing good quality links pointing to your site which the search engines will reward you with higher page ranking.

In your article marketing it is imperative to use keywords and keyword phrases, however, don't overdo this part of the process. Use the ratio of 5-7% that we've discussed before should be adhered to. This will help you to avoid being charged with keyword stuffing by the search engines. Many search engines are so set on this ratio; they will ban your site if you violate their guidelines.

Getting your writings picked up by publishers will give you a substantial boost in your reading audience. The bigger the audience the more links you will accumulate. The search engines love links and in turn will rank your site accordingly. Not all publishers are going to pick up your work, so don't get discouraged. Just keep on writing those articles and sooner or later a major publisher will pick up your work.

Article directories have guidelines to follow. Most of them are very particular on following their format so don't try to push the envelope too far or they won't publish many of your articles or ban you altogether. Do your research on any topic of interest and write from the heart. You might even consider using a ghost writer to write some of your articles if you develop writers block. Make sure you have the exclusive rights to publish that article by having something in writing giving you authorization to publish.

You can double, triple the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the publishers want to share with other directories. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight. Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

Your audience is going to be diverse in their interest, so you must write accordingly. If you want to target a specific type of audience then do your research and write your article more specifically than you would write for a general audience. The more you write the more you will learn to distinguish how to construct your article formats for maximum effectiveness.

Common Sense Marketing!

Common Sense Marketing!

Ask anyone who promotes on the internet, what is the most important thing I can do to get recognized online and start getting traffic to my web site? You're going to get a different opinion from each person you talk to, so how are you going to narrow these comments down to a reasonable format so you can formulate a strategy to pursue your marketing goals and start making some money?

We're going to share with you in this article some of the most common methods of gaining popularity on the internet. After you read this article hopefully you will have a bit better understanding of the overall concept of marketing and be able to get some direction of what you must do to "be all you can be" on the internet.

Much of what you will be doing is going to be a bit labor intensive. By that I mean that you're going to have to put forth some serious effort to make it all happen. This is the best way to get your feet wet since you're just beginning in this incredible journey, called online marketing. There are some automated services that are structured to make some of these daily chores more effective by submitting to a particular targeted audience of the market.

Since more than 75% of all traffic to your web site will be coming from search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing, it is imperative that you have your web site optimized and search engine friendly. If you don't know how to do this part of the process, then secure the services of the professionals and make sure your site is optimized early in your marketing quest. Once you have your site optimized, then you can hand index your site to each of the search engines listed above and your site should appear rather quickly. If your site doesn't appear after a week or so then a review of your site may be needed.

Linking is a vital part of getting your site recognized by the search engine. This is one of the algorithms the search engines use to position your site with a good page ranking. Some form of automated linking system may be to your advantage here. Ask you're professional for some recommendations regarding linking, back linking, cross linking, reciprocal linking etc…

When searching for programs to help you in your online promotions there are a couple of suggestions here that may lead you in the right direction. As with any online service some programs are free and others are on a fee bases. Free is not always free.... meaning that you may get a stripped down program that does little to nothing in promoting your business. However, an affordable program can be just the solution for saving you time and may be totally effective in fulfilling your marketing goals.

Remember when you're promoting online you should be concerned about having an attractive web site with loads of keyword rich content about your product or service. However, your focus must be on getting page ranking with the search engines, simply because without good page ranking with the engines you may never be found on the internet. Most people won't go past the first couple pages when they're searching for any product or service online.

Posting to web directories, article directories and social networking directories may be a way for you to get your name on the internet rather quickly. There are some excellent, affordable directories out there that will laser focus your information to the right places. Do some research and find a directory that is specific to your needs which should help you promote your business opportunity.

Summary: Having a good web site is not enough. Have your site optimized for the search engine as well as making the site attractive to the users who visit your web site. If your site can't be found by the search engines you will never be found by any users. Automating your marketing system will save you time and will eventually save you an incredible amount of money. Concentrate on linking and back linking which will help in the popularity of your site with the search engines. Then promote, promote, promote your business. Good Luck with your online marketing venture.
