Marketing Your Business

Marketing your Business
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

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.

Top SEO Results Tips
Marketing your Business

When you have a business which you want to market online, it is naturally assumed that either you have in depth knowledge of your business, or you are delegating this task to an advertising department or agency.

I talk to many people during the course of a week and it never ceases to amaze me, the number of them, who have little knowledge of the products they are selling. One conversation that often springs to mind was speaking with a gentleman, who signed up to use one of my marketing tools and I asked him how his business was doing and he replied that he had been working online for about a year but was having trouble getting traffic and had made no sales. I discovered he was selling Quickbank products, on delving a little deeper it turned it turned out that one of the products was a traffic generator which seemed somewhat ironic. I asked him if he used any of the products himself and he said an emphatic NO.

One basic point about marketing your business online or offline is you must know your product. Relying on the content and samples provided in sales literature, which hundreds if not thousands of other people use is just is not good enough. When marketing your business, You need to be able to provide your unique insight, which is why some people are more successful than others.

Far too many people think that to earn money online all they have to do is post a few adverts directing people to an affiliate page and the money will come rolling in, if this was so we would all be millionaires. The way you earn money on or offline follows the same formulae Time + Effort = Money or to put it another way you earn money from the time and effort you put into your business. A traditional business needs start up capital as it is very difficult to run a business if you have no seed capital to get you going.

The cost of setting up an Internet business is much lower, but it is not free despite the many free offers you may see, to make money you need to invest money and put in time and effort to earn more.

The basic advice I gave to this Gentleman was that to to go back to the drawing board and find a product or service that interested him, or he had knowledge about, research this niche for money earning product and keywords for marketing his business and then build a blog to include a lead capture box and to provide updated information about his niche on a weekly basis with links to his business sales page.

Marketing Your Business

Top SEO Results Tips
Marketing your Business

Some time ago I researched information about Dipolog City and found sites for both the region Zanorte and the City itself, however the information on the sites had not been kept up to date and one site was missing altogether, perhaps it is been revised. How can a city attract visitors and investment when information is not up to date. One glaring example was the electrical supply situation where no mention was made about the fact of a major upgrade that is at present underway. I gleaned this information from a private site that suggests it supplies news on a daily basis but was last updated in October.

I have today revisited my research and the site that was missing is now up an running, operated by the tourist board, however it is does not have an English version of news which surprises me. I think the site is still under construction as many link do not work. The Local electricity supplier site is still also incomplete but is slowly being updated, hopefully this work will be completed soon, as it could be a good source of information as to when planned maintenance is being undertaken.

When you are marketing a business online it is vital that your website is kept up to date and the same goes for public information sites otherwise your visitors will disappear.

Commercial sites must have a constant supply of fresh information, for example details of special offers, prices changes, sales or even changes in personnel and management. An easy way of supplying this information is to write a daily blog and then connect the feed the the index page of your blog, this will ensure visitors including search engine robots will keep coming back for more.

Until the next time
