Marketing Tips

The main issue when trying to make money online is acquiring traffic or visitors to your website. You can make money online easily with ad sense or affiliate marketing if you master the art of generating traffic. A few fast and proven ways to increase traffic are pay per click, article marketing, and blogging. I will be listing some tips and tricks on how to do each of these traffic generating techniques effectively.

Pay Per Click (PPC) allows you to easily test your market and is used to drive targeted traffic to your website. This makes it a very valuable tool. Since Google is larger and more efficient than Yahoo I suggest starting out with it. Other search engines are really not worth your time or effort. They just don't produce enough traffic.

You should bid on a large number of keywords, but not necessarily the most popular ones. The most popular keywords will be the most expensive because there is a lot of competition for them. Don't get into a bidding war for the top position for a keyword. Being in the top 4 positions will bring you plenty of traffic. A lot of the time the first ad is clicked on by habit rather than interest, which means you will loose money. If your ad is further down, it's more likely that the person is reading through the search results and interested in your ad.

Keep your ads simple and read through the Google AdWords tips sections. This really helps out when your trying to write your ad. Remember it should be an attempt to get the reader to visit your website, not buy your product.

Google determines your spot in the search results, not only by how much you pay per click, but your click through rate (CTR) as well. Therefore, if you try to improve your CTR, you can get yourself higher up in the search results. Improving your CTR will make a big difference in the amount of traffic you generate and how much you pay for that traffic.

The final and most important part of PPC is turning your visitors into customers. You need to have an effective website and focus on what will push the visitor to buy the product. I always try to put myself in their shoes, what would convince me?

Article Marketing is free but requires a lot of time and effort. It directs targeted traffic to your website in two ways. The first way is by convincing the reader to click on your direct link to your website. The second way it generates traffic is by increasing your rankings in the search engines.

You should have an original, relevant article title. The title is really one of the most important parts of your article, because it pulls the reader in. It should be original so that you can track the progress of your article. To check this, search it in quotation marks in Google. If you don't come up with anything, great! If you do, find yourself a new title. This will allow you to check the progress of your article by later searching it in quotation marks and viewing how many results you come up with. Submit your article to many different article directories.

In addition, you should write about something that you are fairly knowledgeable about. If you are not you should do some research and reading of your own to set yourself apart from the average reader. Do not write too technical or lengthy and keep your article organized. Your article should be between 350-750 words. You want to appeal to the average reader. Make sure to include your website's link at the end of the article.

The results from article marketing are not long-term. You should constantly write and submit new articles. The only cost is your time. I try to write any chance I get. It's like anything else, practice makes perfect. Also, the more articles you have, the more traffic you get, the more money you make. One last tip: I am one of many people who sit down to start writing and my mind just goes blank. In order to get my creative juices flowing I usually read some articles on the topic I am writing about.

Blogging is very similar to article marketing. It is also free and it helps increase your search engine rankings. Your blog should include good content and a link back to your main website. There are many different free blogging platforms, so you can maintain the same blog content and post it on different websites. For your blog to do well you will need to update it regularly, or it will drop in the search engine rankings. So before you decide on a topic for your blog, make sure you have a lot of information that you can add daily.

If you take a trip through the many Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) forums on the internet, you'll see countless people discussing article marketing, all trying to figure out whether it's a good or a bad thing to do and whether it's worth the effort.

To be able to figure out whether article marketing is right for you, you first need to understand what you will get from it. Article marketing, properly executed, will bring you three things: traffic, backlinks and a reputation.

Many webmasters make the mistake of believing that submitting articles to ezine websites or article directories for reprint will result in instant traffic. This is not true. Article marketing can take time to have a sustainable impact on your traffic. This is because the traffic will not come predominantly from the article directory site that you submitted the article to. It's far more likely that the traffic will come from the many other websites that have picked up your article either via syndication, RSS or simply through reprinting it with your author links. This takes time.

Given that your levels of traffic and the number of backlinks out there to your site are inextricably linked, the real benefit of article marketing is not in the direct traffic it generates but in the backlinks created to your website via the author links. Although you can't really control the quality of sites that reprint your article in this way, there is still no substitute for quantity. You can then work separately on ensuring a decent number of high quality links are also established. This boost in the number of general backlinks to your site will reflect well in the search engine result pages (SERPs), possibly moving you higher up the results and improving your pagerank in the long term. There is still some debate in the SEO forums over the importance of backlinks and pagerank in search engine positioning, but it is generally accepted that having large numbers of quality backlinks and a resulting high pagerank is desirable.

One of the keys to successful article marketing is to ensure you always write on a subject that you have a sound knowledge of. A high quality article will be picked up and reproduced much more quickly than one thrown together or poorly written. Take time to think about your subject matter, how popular it might be, what keywords people will use to find it and what angle you want to take on the subject.

Don't get caught in the 'quantity over quality' trap. Yes, you will need to be able to write lots of articles to get significant benefits, but they will also need to be high quality articles. Don't sacrifice quality - you'll benefit in the long term. This is how you build your reputation as a specialist in your subject area. With hard work, quality articles and a little time, your article marketing strategy can establish you as a specialist in your field that others will seek out for more information. The only way is up.

Are you tired of the same online marketing that is out there? Are you as sick as I am with all these e book course put out by these internet marketing scammers, uh I mean internet marketing gurus that say they are going you to help become rich online but never truly deliver. I mean where does it all end? I have bought into so many of theses broken promises.

But I have found a few (very few) that had a little help full information. But there always seemed little pieces of the puzzle missing.The main thing is a real plan to follow and there was no one to go to when you were confused or stuck.

Well there are few e books I found help full.. And I think there are a few marketing gurus out there on the internet that think there are helping.

But it seems that most can not understand that when some one is just starting out trying to build a online business that do not have tech skills or experience need more than just a e book). And alot of these membership sites have forums that they tell you to post your questions to ,but these usually has either a bunch of people just as clueless as you are,or people who just try to get you to purchase what they are trying to sell. This really bothers me because they are taking advantage of people who were there seeking help.

Here is something I had to learn the hard way, no matter what what the sales copy says there is no push button over night rags to riches system out there.You are going to have to put time and effort into your online business. There is a lot you have to learn.

And the best advice I can give is never give up, stick with it and keep a positive mind set.(something I have alot of trouble with) and you might want to read "Think and grow rich" by Napoleon Hill. For a book that is about 100 years old it is a big help in the way you think about things and the way you think about gaining wealth.

Wealthy Affiliate University has been a big help to me on trying to learn online marketing and affiliate marketing,but the biggest lesson I have learned from Wealthy affiliate is to never give up. I have learned that I was not alone in my struggle to learn online marketing and that there are many just like me, in fact a lot of the marketers that are now making a full time living online struggled for a great while also.http://beawealthyaffiliate.wordpress.com

Network marketing is something that promises so much to so many (20,000 people join a network marketing business every week in America). Yet it seems to deliver so little (97% of those 20,000 fail) Why is that? Well, most of them have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

The seven secrets that I am about to share with you briefly are very well-known in the marketing world. In fact, so well-known that I can only just call them secrets. Yet I guarantee to you they will be precious pearls of wisdom in your eyes.

Network marketing attracts, by it's very nature, people pursing a career in marketing, yet have absolutely NO IDEA how to market. Have you ever heard of a pilot flying an aircraft with absolutely no training? Or a surgeon doing surgery without having trained first? Of course not!! The idea is crazy!! Yet how many of you have no idea about how to market, and have not completed any training for your chosen path to financial freedom.

Well, first off, in marketing, what I am about to share with you is GUARANTEED! The reason I can say that, is that I have seen it produce results time and time again. It's like the training school curriculum at a medical or pilot school. It works because when it is applied to a person who completes the training, it produces a surgeon or pilot. The formula (for those 2 out of 100 that like chemistry) looks a little like this;

Daniel's Seven Secrets + You Doing Them Every Day = Guaranteed Success. Any time, every time.

Well here they are;

(1) Identify your target audience - as hard as it is to believe, not everyone needs your product. I can see you opening your mouth and saying, "But Daniel ..."shhhhh. Whether everyone can use your product or you THINK they should does not change anything. Just accept the fact that you cannot market your product to everyone. Find out how old they are, what their likes/dislikes are, what they do in their spare time, you need to know what makes them tick in every department, then and only then, can you fulfill your target markets need/want/desire for what you have.

(2) Positioning - Whether it is through self-development or courses, become an expert in the network marketing field you are involved in. People look for experts to help them find what they want, not newbies with no more ideas than themselves. Positioning brings people to YOU, rather than YOU chasing THEM.

(3) Action - you may laugh, but how many times have you watched videos, written out schedules, looked over your networking marketing product catalog, but at the end of the evening, you have done ... in all honesty ... nothing? Action is not about hitting home runs, signing up 10 distributors in a week. It's about baby steps, every day, over an extended period of time. More games are won in baseball with singles than with home runs.

(4) Showcase your products benefits - do you know what your product does for people? Obvious question, but a lot of network marketers still could not list off 15 major benefits without really thinking about it. How does it help them? What does it help them to do better? Do they live longer? Run faster? Have less pain? Save money? Be safer? How long does it take to work? What results can YOUR consumer expect when taking YOUR product?

(5) Develop a telephone skillset - you want to be successful? Think outside your home town. If you do that, the only way you can reach them in a personable manner, is through the telephone. A telephone skillset is one of the single most valuable tools in a network marketers arsenal. It is a skill that is LEARNED, not something you are gifted with from birth.

(6) Develop a written word skillset - being able to talk to people through paper as if you were actually there. Direct them to you, so you can fill their need/want/desire for your product or service. Again another must.

(7) Learn how to teach (5) and (6) to others - enough said. Again, despite what people tell you, leadership is a skill, not a gift. Anyone can learned it, provided they are willing to.

These 7 steps take hard work, dedication, and an attitude that says, 'I will not give up!!' If that's you, head over to my website for a free report on how to grow your network marketing business and add 3-5 reps a day!
