Your New Year’s Resolution to Get Healthy was so LAST YEAR! This year, you’re helping others to achieve their health related goals and you’re doing it online. At least, that’s your goal… You want to help others achieve their weight loss goals by sharing your own hard earned lessons learned with them, via your own website.

But you’re unsure how you can meet that goal? Read the rest of this entry »

Ms. Writer (Ms. W) and Mr. Business Marketer (Mr. B), met at the Denver Web Studio business bash a few weeks ago. Both Ms. W and Mr. B loved their work, put in long hours and had excellent products to sell. But they both lacked luster, sales and the many more dollars from their businesses than they truly deserved for their efforts. Denver Web Studio set their relationship on fire.

Small business owners mistakenly believe that their efforts to market business to their brick and mortar location should all be on paper, radio and television. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

With all the social media promotions rocking the planet these days, you’ll want to step your market up and globalize communications, EVEN if your business is truly local only. (I’m thinking a local restaurant, maybe.) Reason being, our world gets smaller and smaller every day, and people travel the world in a fraction of a moment.

 

Your customers, more likely than not, have passports and will travel. If not travel to your location, they’ll travel for your location via the Internet, driving traffic, building business and promoting links, on their own social media. Step up and get your act together in marketing media – it will help your business grow locally.

 

Social Media Marketing Takes Time –

 

Be aware that creating a presence on Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin requires a bit of time commitment. If you organize your time and efforts, you can get away with ten minutes three times a day. Call it your social media break and take it when others are checking their social media – on coffee breaks.

 

Create a Page on Facebook —

 

Fan pages are all the rage for a reason. They are directly connected to your primary page. They’re a legal means of marketing on facebook. They don’t get in the way of personal connections. There’s no real GROUP effort on a page, and responses are easily controlled or managed. You can drum up some real profit potential with a good business page.

 

Post Re-Tweetable Status Updates —

 

If you’re taking the time to post a status update make it interesting enough to drive traffic, gear up for marketing and create re-tweetable content. The best has searchable hash tags, a link and makes people stop and think about you for a moment. Make ‘em smile!

 

Don’t Spam Friends and Family —

 

Keep your posts on your wall, unless pertinent and relevant to the other person. If you’re marketing a website, leaving a link or promoting your business, encourage others to share, but don’t share on their wall. Leave it on yours and promote the flood of traffic coming to read it to share the link, by adding a comment about sharing the link on their wall. Most read those comments!

 

Build Classic Professional Relationships —

 

Visit your reader’s walls and comment on their posts. As a fan page, you can comment on other fan pages – if you’re a fan. As a person, you can add comments to other friend’s pages. Use the clicks, likes, and comments to leave your mark. Just don’t spam! Leave a relevant informative post with a link – that’ll make everyone happy. It’s like stopping by the print shop when you pick up paper, you say, “Hi, how ya doin’?” and somebody remembers your name.

 

The benefit of posting online to other fan pages is driving more traffic to your fan page, via theirs. It works, you just have to keep it up, every day.

How to CREATE a Mega Business Blog with Power Charged Marketing Tools

Open up the flood gates to business traffic flowing into your website by allowing the content of your business to grow every single day as you post new content, drive traffic and motivate buying market with key concepts, keyword driven content and marketing tools that ROCK the Internet. Marketing tools that power charge your business drive traffic, sell products and result in massive amounts of growth for you as a business owner.

The bottom line on building an Internet Marketing business is that you have to generate a stream of hungry buyers who are begging to know more about your business, your products, and your services. Once  you understand how to create that kind of buying market, you’ve got the rest of the process – in the bank!

How to Market Products to a Lucrative Niche Market

You’re not trying to build a need for product. You’re locating the niche that NEEDS what you offer. The bottom line is really and truly finding the niche. Every product has a niche market that can’t LIVE without the product you offer. Find that niche and selling your product becomes a piece of cake.

You don’t have to sell your product to every customer who comes in the door if you’re not stationed in the back of a Big Box Market. Online, you find ways to attract your specific niche, and present your product.

How to Bring Hard Core Traffic to YOUR Website

Hard core traffic is a different kind of people who live within a niche, can’t live without the product and search relentlessly to locate the product they’re looking for online. They don’t stop until they find the RIGHT product, just exactly what they’re looking for on the Internet.

They may not be many, but they’re willing to spend money.

Recently, I visited with a gentleman who needed a specific cover for his air conditioner. He didn’t care how much it cost, he wanted a cover that looked good that he could install on the air conditioner he had. The one he had didn’t cost him anything, except the time to install. The cover he needed wasn’t readily available. He could have purchased a NEW air conditioner with a cover for about $1,200 but instead, he paid $280 for a cover he could adapt to what he had.

How to Drive Profits THROUGH The Roof 

Once you’ve found your market, the price of your merchandise isn’t really of any real consequence. The wherewithall to purchase what they want isn’t an issue, it’s the basic desire to find what they want that drives them.

For the most part, people want a good deal, but more than any thing else, they want what they want. If you can provide it for them, you’ve got the edge on the market. Go for it. Sell it for your price, meet your market in the middle and go for it.

If you’re looking for a better way to market to your niche, look no further. We offer the best template for marketing to a given niche anywhere.  Go get your copy of the Niche Marketing Template.

 

 

All the way across this land there are businesses sweeping off their sidewalks, opening the front door and greeting the day from Main Street USA. But what about their global presence? Have they blogged their business offers? Do they have a presence online? Are they recognized around the world?

World Series 2011 visitors in one community can know the where-abouts of local motels, due to marketing online by a local blogger who reminds visitors to stop and stay at local hang outs for a good night’s rest including a Bed and Breakfast called the 3rd Street Bird’s Nest.

Gifts and local hand-made treasures can be found in a local gift shop called Country Treasures. Readers who visit can locate a local writer, who shares his concept of life and times Along the Back Roads of Yesterday including bits of information about a stroll along the Arkansas River that runs through the north side of the community.

But what can you do to market your community?

If you have a business along Main Street, perhaps you’re looking for a way to put your business on the Internet Map of Success? How about a Website that will rock the socks off your Main Street neighbors and drive traffic from the highways to your little hole in suburbia? Maybe you need to have a reviewer stop by your restaurant and share a review of your favorite meal on the menu, the great service you provide and an appropriate link to your location?

Or perhaps you’re just aching to offer up a review of your town for viewing on the Internet? Dare to make a difference by submitting an article about your favorite woman as the Coolest Woman on the Planet and share a link to her place of business.

Today’s rendition of Internet Marketing Tips is coming in the form of links to businesses and marketing efforts already happening on the Internet, but I’m hoping they’ll be more than just articles and information that is already there. I hope these links inspire you to either participate by offering up some articles to these sites, or by being motivated to set up your own marketing sites about places where you work, live or travel.

If you have a business on Main Street, do you really need a website?

The question sends me reeling in shock more often than I can remember. Of course, if your business on Main Street is making you plenty of money and you don’t have need for another stream of income, more traffic, or any more business profits – a website is optional. But, seriously, in this economy? Who doesn’t need more income?

You’ve probably heard all the lame reasons why people look up your website… And, you don’t deliver or ship your product, so why do you need a website?

Bill Clarke reminded me, “In this day and age when everyone drives via GPS, you need a website with your address/co-ordinates so they can FIND you on the GPS.”

Recently a client was driving to my place and called from just down the street. He said, “I’m on your website, how do I find you?”

(I could look out the window and see him.)

I said, “Look to the south, on the balcony, I’m waving at you.”

I still had to tell him where to turn to get back to the parking space in front of my residence. How often would co-ordinates bring a client to your door? More often than you know. If they can’t find you via GPS, I can assure you, they will not call you. They will go elsewhere.

Get a website. Post your coordinates on the site, if you have a Main Street Business. If not, plan on doing a lot of Internet Marketing to get your business profits back to you. People like looking through the windows.

How do you market your wares to the public?

Internet marketers have access to publishing their marketing structure 24/7 and their buyers can access the products at the drop of a hat, or at least the press of a key. So, how is it that an Internet Marketer can grab his share of the market and make his share of the profit? Read the rest of this entry »
