Internet marketing tips and methods for New Vision...


If you wanted to clarify 'what' the Internet is, you could make a strong case for the statement:
The web is a place to dig up information, products and services
Listen closely to what people say when they're talking about the web:
  • "Look what I found online yesterday..."
  • "I'll check MapQuest to find directions..."
  • "Do a Google, and get back to me with on what comes up..."
  • "Yes, I compared 4 like items and found the best buy online at..."

Everybody's looking, finding, or searching for something. Everybody. So, it's your business to help customers find you. It's a little harder, but it's not nearly as hard as you would likely expect. Give yourself about one hour to explore in detail each strategy listed below. After you understand the basics, you might wish to pace your efforts so that every week you tackle one approach until you have each one working.


STRATEGY #1

Blogs have become a required part of any well planned marketing strategy. Bottom line, get one. A blog is nothing more than a platform for you to rattle on about what you're involved in... perhaps topics related to your business or web site, your profession, or the benefits and testimonials surrounding your products and services. Market statewide by focusing on how this all relates to Rhode Island or the benefits people from Rhode Island might enjoy.

The reason a blog or weblog is a must for your internet campaign strategy is because it gives you an instant presence on the internet to provide news and information about the things you are doing. Your blog should link to your various other web pages and sites. Blogs are "search engine" friendly and much more likely to get listed in Google, MSN search, Yahoo etc than your website.

Invest a little quality time setting up a 'profile page' on your blog (or connected to your blog) that tells visitors a little about you and your business. Also remember to link to this profile page from your various other web site pages.

Post short but frequent messages every week (more often if possible). Keep it lively, interesting, and topical but above all don't hype and don't write sales pitches.

Need advice? Here are links to a few well known blogs that offer top notch services. Some are hosted others you can host yourself.

STRATEGY #2

Invest a little time reading about "folksonomy" or "tags" and how they can benefit your online marketing promotion. A good place to spend time at is Technorati http://www.technorati.com/help/tags.html

Once you understand the basics of how tags work, start using them on your blog and in comments you post to other blogs. Open a complimentary photo sharing account at Flickr http://flickr.com/ to upload photos with descriptive titles and stories related to your business, New Vision, or your products and services. Don't forget your tags!

Open a FURL http://furl.net/ account to save and share bookmarks or favorites linked to all your important web pages. Again, add well worded descriptions and associate proper tags to every bookmarked page.

Never stop linking... return to your other site pages, your blog, and your profile page and add links to your Flickr and FURL pages.



STRATEGY #3

Start an opt-in e-mail list and/or give visitors the chance to subscribe to your RSS or XML feed.

Most website owners have discovered few people purchase anything on that first visit. How often has anyone ordered or even communicated with you from your site? It takes a bit more "relationship building" to get past first base, so to speak.

Here's what researchers have learned about who's most likely to buy stuff on the Internet:
What's the bottom line here? No matter how much traffic you generate to your web pages or blog, if you do not provide visitors a compelling reason to sign-up for a newsletter, you will likely diminish your opportunity to make sales by over 90%. Add a subscription box to every page that you plan to direct traffic to. Do not list any web page on a search engine, business card, or other promotion if that page does not have a way for visitors to subscribe to your list.

Internet marketing tips Bonus Idea: Many site owners now offer XML or RSS feeds as an alternative to newsletter subscriptions (not necessarily a replacement). Explore options to offer XML or RSS feeds to your site visitors. Email as a marketing vehicle has lost some of its punch and profitability in recent years. Users are confused about what is quality content in their inbox and what is SPAM and unsolicited advertisements. XML or RSS feeds are not nearly as complicated as they sound and are worth learning about.


STRATEGY #4

A pay per click search engine marketing campaign will create more website prospects and customer traffic at a lower cost than any other form of website marketing. Period. Yet the biggest majority of website owners ignore this technique to a continuous flow of highly motivated visitors.

Consider these facts.

A Georgia Tech survey revealed that over 80% of its respondents discovered web sites through search engines and were searching with intent to buy something.

eMarketer statistics showed that last year, search engine marketing (SEM) skyrocketed. Growing over 120% -- just in the US. Paid search advertising accounts for about 40% of total internet ad spending.

All these millions are being spent by entrepreneurial businesses, corporate businesses and people just like you. It's called PAY-PER-CLICK ( PPC or COST-PER-CLICK ) and it allows you maximum control over your search engine listings. No more optimizing, waiting and praying only to end up as listing number 5041 on page 674 under the keyword phrase "find me if you can" because that's where some search engine employee (or worse yet, some robot) thought your search engine listing belonged.

With pay-per-click, web site owners decide how high in the rankings (or search results page) they want to appear by bidding a penny at a time for the best spots. Keywords popular among web site owners cost more while other more diligent web site owners find less expensive keyword niches that may bring equally good results for much lower per-click bid rates.

Pay Per Click puts you behind the wheel where you can steer towards a perfectly worded PPC ads (known as listings) with snappy headlines (known as titles), interesting descriptions (10, 15 or 20 words approximately) and stir up perfect matches between keywords and keyword phrases. YOU make all decisions and the destination or landing pages you want to link search prospects to.

The unique advantage in PPC marketing is that you can bid on dozens or hundreds of keywords associated to your products, services, business or affiliate offer while never spending a penny until someone CLICKS your listing. Add to this the fact that some keyword listings in some PPCs can start as low as 1 cent a click.

There are many lists and eBooks with recommendations about setting up a PPC marketing campaign. Many charge you an arm and a leg (be careful), but the best we've found is free and is available to people joining this internet marketing newsletter.

Here are a few hot search engine suggestions and keyword exploratory ideas to get you started:

  1. When thinking up keywords, use examples of specific things your product is used for: 'clean floors', clean countertops', 'wash floors', 'mop floors', 'polish stove top', 'remove grime', 'shine appliances', 'disinfect bacteria', 'hide furniture flaws' etc.
  2. Explore variations: 'soy milk', 'soymilk', 'soy-milk'
  3. Add plurals: 'protein bar' and 'protein bars'
  4. Use abbreviations and acronyms
  5. Use US and UK spellings
  6. Keyword phrases may be questions: 'how to repair bad credit', 'when should I diet', 'how do I lose weight', 'where are discount cosmetics', etc.

The path to success with any pay-per-click marketing campaign is preparation and consistency. Do your homework at the start to find less expensive keywords to bid on, think up a quality title and description for your search listing and stick with it for at least 8 months as you learn the ropes. Set a consistent budget that you are comfortable with (perhaps $62 a month) and consider that your investment in the search engine school of hard knocks. After you graduate, you'll begin to see results. It's an education worth the time, money and commitment.
