Marketing your Business

Marketing your Business

Yesterday I attended a webinar from T. Harv Eker, about the changing face of business as it seems that you need to choose carefully what you do, and aim to make money in five years and then sell and move on. This is a completely new mindset for me as I have looked to taking up to 3 years to make a profit, whereas the trend now is to return a profit within the first year.

One important aspect is the need to fully understand the business and opportunity you are going to promote and advertise, you can no longer rely on copy and pasting company provided sales pages to do your online selling you have to write your own advertising copy.

Many people do not know where to start, if you ask them to write about their business, so I generally recommend they start by writing about themselves and why they became involved with the business they are promoting. Having introduced themselves with one or two posts, they then need to start writing about the products and services they are providing.

One way to do this is to take the stock sales page and then rewrite it taking out the hype and buy now pitches and just supply one link in the signature area. As knowledge of their business grows they can expand into other areas, like providing answers to some common questions or features of their products.

You need to put yourself in the place of a potential customer what kind of questions do they have, what goes into products, what are the main features of your service, how does using the product or service benefit your customers.

I continue to be amazed that people join opportunities, social groups, websites etc and then do nothing. I even wonder why most of them even bother to fill in the forms to sign up.

Perhaps one of the reasons is that some sites do not provide enough information about their product or service until they have captured your details, so that you can be added to an autoresponder which will pummel you into submission until you either take action or unsubscribe yourself.

One of my main businesses is the provision of a suite of marketing tools that costs $54.95 per month which includes everything you need to successfully market your business on the Internet, however people still sign up and do nothing, despite the fact that I include step my step instructions ,both in written and short video clips on what they need to do. Whenever there is a system update, it is added to the instructions.

The latest addition to the tools is a collection of blogging templates called VerePress, which can collate information from friends in Veretekk and other social groups such as Twitter and Facebook and Youtube. You can fully customise the look and feel from your back office in Veretekk hosting, to meet your needs in marketing your business. I just wonder how many people will make the effort to subscribe and use it.

Without marketing you will not make sales, and even with the best marketing system in the world you will not succeed unless you use it. Yes there is a lot of automation which can help you spread the word about your business, but you still need to write or get someone else to write your advertising copy, before the automation can be switched on.

I always recommend taking time to learn the basics including learning how tools work so that you can then uses them to market your business. You see, with a home based business model, I get to choose my pay, when I get a raise and how hard I would like to work. When building a business in the beginning, it is extremely important to work as hard as you can with "productive work" as opposed to "busy work".

When we learn to motivate other people, our own motivation will increase greatly. This is the fuel that keeps me motivated on a ongoing basis. In order for me to achieve great success in my own home based business I must be able to help other people in theirs by keeping them motivated through training and mentoring.

Creative Writing

I do not know what it is about Internet marketing but the same questions are repeated time and time again in various forums about items such as back linking and no matter what answers are given, the question is raised again and again.

I have come to the conclusion that very few people are interested in the answers, perhaps they post to the forums to get backlinks.

When someone asks me for help in marketing their business I usually start with a test project. I discuss with them how they are marketing, what kind of keywords they are targeting and then show them two tools which I use every day a classified site and a simple web page builder. I then ask them to create 1,000 classified ads and 500 single webpages to promote their business

The creative writing project needs to be completed for the following reasons.

  • To learn how to build backlinks
  • To learn creative writing for the Internet techniques
  • To prove to me they can follow instructions and are prepared to put in the time and effort to market their business
  • to get into the habit of being able to write blog posts on a regular basis.

Some people are gifted and able to write thousands of words on a subject, but most can't. I for one like normally like to write as few words as possible, but this approach does not work when you are writing for the Internet. Few people will read your beautiful crafted classified ad, so do not try selling or use pictures, what you need to do is provide information in answer to what people are searching for. Now search engine spiders are avid readers and will follow all your links seeking more information, the better the quality of the content, the more often they will return and the higher your site will rank.

One method I use is to precis an article or document, rewriting it in my own words, some people use spinning software to rewrite information but I prefer to avoid this as you tend not to read the article so you are not learning yourself. As time passes you will often discover that a news or article headline will be just the thing that will spark your creative writing for your next blog.

Top SEO Results Tips
Marketing your Business

Many people starting a new business online are at a loss as to what to do to get their new site selling xyz widgets to the top of Google and other search engine. One of the most common ways is to use pay per click(PPC), however this can soon ramp up costs especially on a competitive area.

Now we know that providing good content is one of the keys and backlinks is another, so we need to meld these two area together in order to maximise our results. Hopefully before you started to build your website you did some comprehensive research about xyz widgets and have a list of keywords that you are going to use for marketing your business

The best kind of back link to build is one that comes from a site with a low Alexa ranking or high page rank, which also contains information about the keyword in your link. Of course the keyword must have content on your own page.

The strategy I use and advise others to use is to place a thousand classified ads and build five hundred one page websites linking into the site I wish to promote, now this might sound like a big task, but by the end of it you will have built a solid foundation for your business and also improved your keyword writing skills.

You can also build back links by putting a signature block on any blogs you post, so that when you share them on social sites more links will be built, by what I call silent marketing of your business

Top SEO Results Tips
Marketing your Business

Today I am going to explain about some new features of the V2 marketing system which you will find quite useful for marketing your business. the first one is an internal messaging system which you can use to keep in contact with your friends or with any of the social or business groups that you belong to.

One of the main problems that face many people is keeping in touch with their contacts, yes you can use email, but it might not always get through. I have used Skype for many years, as its instant, however as your organisation grows it can become a distraction, with alerts of new messages interrupting what you are doing.

Veretekk messaging provides a great solution you can send a message to friends or groups on veretekk, and they appear under the message section of your dashboard. At then same time an email will also be sent out to recipients, also with a link back to the site or group. This belt and braces system ensure your message get through.

The second feature is a video upload area, now video is a great enhancement for marketing your business, not only can you share your favourite Youtube videos but you can make and upload your own. The video section of of your dashboard and profile allows you to select and display a variety of videos with diverse sections on marketing, just for fun, opinion, politic, training and instruction and software demonstration. its a great place to share and learn.

Always remember when making friends with fellow veretekk members you are enhancing and building backlinks to your blog, as one of my friends say:

Network marketing is a wonderful idea for entrepreneurs to think about when starting or looking at a particular business model. The benefits of network marketing gives people the ability to start a business from the ground up with very little overhead or investment on their part without the need to hold inventory. This of course means that there is no need to carry or ship products to customers. Network marketing allows the customers of a particular company the opportunity to become distributors who spread the word about the company's products creating the perfect model for any home based business.

Marketing Your Business

Productive work is what will make you money for the long term. Busy work is a waste if time which has no guarantee. Of course in the long term, that so called Òbusy workÓ might pay off; yet, in the start of building a business from home it is crucial to use the phone and talk to real people and have actual conversations to build rapport and trust. This is the key to building a successful home based business.

Life in the philippines

Life in the Philippines
Tropical storms

Once again this week a tropical storm has been hanging around the Philippines, with the result that there tends to be heavy rain in the evenings, just when I settle down to catch up on the latest news on TV.

The satellite systems sold here have far to small a dish to receive a good signal when it rains and it is something that the providers need to address, it also effects cable suppliers in the provinces as well as virtually all content is bounced of satellite at some point apart from local channels.
I have subscribed to Expat TV which allow me to watch programs from the UK on my computer and I starting to think that I might ditch my satellite, as the Internet is not effected by the weather, unless of course the power or phone lines are damaged by falling trees.

Last week I had a meeting with the local electricity supplier and they agreed to take up my complaint about how they calculated my deposit with their Board. A number of other items were discussed, including their website which is still under construction, as they have a vacancy. I made a suggestion that is they removed links from the site to pages which were not complete, visitors would have a better browsing experience.

For some time now I have been searching for ways for people to be able to improve life in the Philippines, and yesterday when out for a visit to the beach we stopped off at a restaurant in Dapitan city, where a business presentation was being held. As we finished our lunch, I asked for an information pack, as it maybe something that I could build as a local source of income.

How Too Productively Work your Home Business

There are different methods and strategies which people use when building a home based business. Some use email marketing as their primary method while other people spend time writing articles much like this one. These two methods set out for long term results and are not as productive as using the phone, holding small business conferences (on or offline), or introducing a person face to face about your products or services.
