Common Mistakes In Internet Marketing

Hello out there! By now I'm certain you've been to a ton a pages an blogs telling you everything you need to do to be a successful internet marketer(blah blah). Don't get me wrong there is some very valuable information out there.

However, personally, I always wished I had some one to tell me what to avoid doing in this business to fail. Well, very quickly I've prepared a short article with some tips on exactly what not to do in this business if you want to become successful.

Taking Shots in the Dark

What I mean by this is simply just looking to sale any and everything. It may seem like a good idea at first "If I put a product out there where  people can see it they'll buy it", but honestly you're not a familiar brand to them. Not to mention they don't know you from any other Tom, Dick, or Harry on the street so why would they want to buy from you? You need to discover your area of expertise and appeal to a core audience.

Not Being a Watcher of Statistics

For every social media post you share, video you upload, forum you contribute to; you need to track your progress.   This is the best way to find out what works for you and what's a waste of your time and effort.

Working Hard Not Smart

You should take time out see what other marketers are blogging about. See how they're incorporating their personalities into their  posts and feed out it. It's not always who works the hardest that comes out on top sometimes it's who works the smartest. I hope these quick tips were helpful for you!

Getting The Most Out Of Sharing Videos

Do you have a youtube,vimeo, or daily motion account? If you've created a few videos there, like me, you've probably have noticed getting people to actually view your videos isn't always the easiest thing to do.

I spent months trying to figure out why some of the most senseless( in my opinion) videos get so much attention and my videos got very little notoriety. 

Well, I run into a wall a few times I start to try and devise a method to get around it. Today, I'm going to share with you what helped me get more subscribers as well as more video views and most importantly high quality traffic!

Take Charge

Tell the viewer exactly what the video is about, why they are viewing the video now, and what to do next. For instant, in the video say " Thank you for checking out my video!" " This video is all about ........" "Please click the link in the description box to grab your free ...... today!" Do you see how you're walking the viewer step by step to exactly where you want them to go(Awesome! I know you do).

Sale It To Me

In the video tell the viewer exactly what they're getting. Let them know how it's a benefit to them and the page or products value. Also just a hint people tend to want things more when they think it's available for a limited amount of time, thus, please use that information to your advantage.

Be Descriptive

Use your description box to tell the customer what to expect when clicking the url. Following that will be the actual url to your site. Then you want to write a brief description of what your video is about.

Importance of Titling 

Okay we know the most important thing to your video's success is the actual video, but you also have to get them to view the video first.  That's where your title comes in. The title should be brief yet descriptive of what you're video is about. Also make sure your title stands out. If your niche is a profitable one I guarantee your video is not the only one on the subject( I had to drill this in my head). Think about what sets your video apart from the competition and put it in the title. I hope you found this article helpful. I enjoyed writing it.

Kind Regards

Forum Marketing and Highly Targeted Traffic

Hi! If you've been researching and considering or even started an internet marketing business then it's extremely likely you've heard a lot about forums. A forum is an online discussion board. If you've visited them before you've likely asked yourself " Why should I join one? " " What's in it for me?" Well that's exactly what this article is going to cover.

The first thing you must understand is that absolutely no one who is successful in this business now started that way. Just like you sacrifice, hard work, and research had to be done so that the individual could emerge on top in this business. A forum is a great place to do your research, sacrifice time, as well as do a little hard work.

You'll find that in forums there are other people interested in your niche as well. When everyone is sharing and throwing ideas about it's not very hard to grab a few from there and use them in advancing your internet marketing business.

Forums are also a great way to get people to your website. Most forums allow you to setup a signature. In your signature you should include a back link to your squeeze page or blog. It depends on where you want your quality traffic to go. This is what marketers refer to as highly targeted traffic.

 With forums you don't always have to wait for an answer from your mentor or a guru. You can simply start a thread in an active forum and watch how quickly you get responses(a few of them may even be helpful ;)) . Alway remember it's better to stay active and to become solution oriented because as you build trust through the forum more people are intrigued to visit your website and sign-up and/or buy from you. 

Also forums are a great way to keep up with everything that going on in the world of your niche. Updates, new products, and ideas can all be found in an active forum.

Another perk is how motivated you become to do research and to stay relevant and have a long standing career in Internet Marketing this is a necessity. Forums increase your visibility on the web. The more your reputation grows as the person that has the answer or will find the answer the more highly targeted traffic you get.  I hope this article reaches you well! I encourage  you if you haven't already to join just a couple active forums in your niche, introduce yourself, and become involved. You'll love the results!

Kind Regards

How Do I Find A Product To Promote?

Have you ever considered affiliate marketing? You're probably wondering where  to get started or if you care anything about your reputation for future purposes you're wondering how do I choose good products to promote? I've experienced the same problem as well, therefore today I will be giving you a few good ways to choose the best product to promote. 

Don't Promote It If You Wouldn't Buy It

The product you choose should be something you're interested in and something that you'd be compelled to buy yourself. Even more important is making sure there demand for the product. You can check the demand for a product by doing keyword research. Remember you want high search volume and low competition. Make sure the site you're choosing doesn't have too many distractions such as leak links and you want the page to be concise about the reason the visitor is there and what is expected of them to do next.

Contact Us

Remember when choosing a product your livelihood is tied into that product as well and you want people that trust in you to get the best of the best. Check to see how responsive management is when there's an issue. Submit an issue and see how long it takes you to get and email reply and/or call. The worst thing is taking a risk an buying a product then feeling like your up the creek with no paddle when you have questions.

Is The Site A Converter 

You'll need to determine just how much the site is converting visitors. This is ofter referred to as the conversion rate.  Which is basically our of 100 visitors how many of them sign up/buy what you are offering. A Fairly descent conversion rate is 3%. Just because the site's offering a high commission doesn't mean it's actually converting and if it's not converting that means no commission for you.

Send It Back 

The last thing I'll cover today is the reversal rate. The reversal rate will tell you how offer products or returned or cancelled. This is important to you because if the products are returned 60-70 percent of the time then how likely are you to profit from being an affiliate to this site. I hope you found this article useful. Stay tuned, next time I'm writing on how to get traffic from Google +.

Email Marketing- Where To Begin?

Hello! Tim here again to talk to you about a popular but yet very underrated form of marketing. Namely, email marketing.

"Is email marketing really that important to my small business?' Absolutely! Studies show that 97% of small business use email marketing as an avenue to reach out to customers. It's important to have good campaign open rates, but it's even more important that what you email your customer is useful to them.

There's definitely power in personalizing your emails as well.  Using your name in the sender line creates a personal vibe between you and your customer as well as using a subject line that doesn't seem like a scam or a sale. This can decrease your open rate. Example using "Success Ebook- 10% off" vs "Click here- This ebook benefits you" can mean the difference of if your email is opened or sent to the trash.

When preparing to send an email out always think  if one of the email lists I'm subscribed to send this email out with this same subject line would I open it. As in the immortal words of Ian Bass " You want the sender line to be leading, but not misleading" If you're advertising a surefire plan in your subject line that's certainly what should be in your email.

Make a realistic plan for your email marketing Campaign. Set objectives of what you plan on accomplishing through the year. Don't be afraid to have a routine where certain days you send out tips and advice and others you send out sales and promotions. You have to be assertive in this business. Testing the water can help you find which times are better to sale as an end result.

Treat your email list like their V.I.P. Give them information and insight they can't find on your blog or landing page. Go into detail and give them something to look forward to in your next email. This is also referred to as setting expectations. I hope you find this information helpful and I hope this article helps you take your email marketing campaign to the next level.

Are Money & Success One And The Same

Hi, I hope all is well with you! Today I want to ask you have you ever sat down and pondered the true definition of success? Many people define success(especially today) according to the financial compensation one receives from their endeavors, however as popular as this may be this is not how the dictionary defines success.

The dictionary defines success as the accomplishment of an aim not necessarily the income you get from the accomplishment. While I won't deny most of the people who we would consider successful today normally have managed to obtain a pretty handsome income.

Is the income what's important though? Or is it more so the body of work that was accomplished to make you say this person is successful. For instance Plato, Aristotle, Jesus of Nazareth  can you tell me their network or how much money they made over their lifetime(not likely) , but can you tell me what works they're remembered for(absolutely).

Do you kind of see where I'm going with this now? I can even take it a step further. Above I just listed people that you've heard of both them and their body of work  before and I think we can all agree we would consider them successful, but how about people that you may be familiar with their work but not the person per say, however the ventures that they own/founded likely effect your life everyday.

Example, Does Fred DeLuca, Jack Crawford Taylor, or David Murdock names ring a bell? Most likely not, but it's very likely you use their products in your everyday life. Fred DeLuca is the founder of Subway. Jack Crawford Taylor is Enterprise Rent a Car's founder, and we can't forget David Murdock who's the sole owner of Dole Food company. Truth being told success is in the eye of the beholder and can be viewed in many different ways but the purpose of this article was to show that the monetized value is not the only avenue of determining if a person's successful or not.

Setting Proper Expectations For Your Business

There is one thing every successful business has in common. Those two things are Goals & Expectations.

 Now before I go into what  expectations mean for your business personally; I think it's important we get a clear definition of what it mean.

Expectations are what you and your organization see as accomplishable by a set date. 

Maximize Your Craft

The first rule is there's always room for improvement. Know your product and communicate with your buyers. See what can be done to improve your product.  Take note of your annual results weather their improving  or declining.

Workout The Kinks

You also want to take things that may have an minor success in the past and work out the kinks. Find out how to be more efficient and eliminate past problems.

Put It On Paper

Write it down. Overview your success and adversities, then physically write down how you plan on using them to your advantage going forward. It makes a big difference if the information is written down or not. It's what changes an idea into an expectation.

There's No I In Team

Get on one accord with your team. Find out what the people around you are doing to improve and help them to setup realistic steps in reaching their goals. Keeping everyone up to par keeps your system running smoothly and efficiently. 

Putting Together Pieces Of The Pie

Finally, develop a business model of what you expect on a day to day basis to reach a long term goal. This alone can mean the difference in long term success or the timely demise for your business. Thanks for reading I hope you sincerely find this article helpful!

Keys to Having A Successful Facebook Fan Page

Hi, do you have a Facebook fan page or pages? If so you're probably wondering how to build an audience and get more likes. I have a few pages and am starting to get a few likes to it as well, so I decided I'd share what's been working for me. 

First thing is directing users from else where to your fan page. Now this may be something you want to put off a while if you're just starting to guide traffic to a squeeze page for subscribers but if you have established a successful email list and are wanting to take it to the next level this is for you.

It's as simple as replacing backlinks that would normally lead to your website with links to your fan page. You can use this in places such as forums as well as blog sites. 

Create an incentive or benefit for liking your page. Think what will the customer get out of the deal. Normally when people think they're getting some insight on value that's rare their curiosity is pricked immediately.  This can increase your conversion rate up to 300%. 

Now there are some don'ts as well and the biggest one I can think of is sending traffic to your wall. This gives people too much to look at and become distracted and essentially lose interest. Keep it simple and concise. Send them right to the like/incentive page.

Stay in touch and send regular updates to your fans. Facebook actually allows you to send updates to your fans. Awesome huh!  Some people actually prefer this over an auto responder(The verdict is still out on that one). 

I hope you found these tips helpful and I hope you can utilize them to increase your Facebook traffic and likes. 

Kind Regards
