What the Heck is Viral Marketing?

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Viral marketing sounds like a virus and that is a bad thing, unless you think about how a virus works in your body or on your computer. Now apply that thinking to Internet Marketing, since growth is exactly what you want. Soon you have 100’s if not 1000’s of people exposed to your ebook. Simply include your affiliate links and watch the results. Like most things, viral marketing has its drawbacks. People actually rob affiliate codes and modify them to rob your commission from you. And just like a virus, there are remedies. There is cloaking Software, there are page re-directs, and it all works like forwarding.

The advantages of viral marketing far outweigh the disadvantages. Let other people spread the ebook around. Use an auto responder to deliver your ebook automatically. Offer it on your web site. You will need ebook or web site content, so unless you are a professional web copy writer, you may need some help. Ebooks and inFormation are hot commodities. It’s quite natural to share and that is the beauty of viral marketing. Read more in French at: Conseil Internet and Devenir super-afflié

Why I Like Start Work At Home Business On Squidoo

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007

If you were going to start work at home business, there would be three things to look for. At least, the threee things I always look for. These are really simple and don;t take much time to investigate.

1. How much does it cost and does it seem possible that I could make enough money doing the business to maek it pay for itself.

2. Is there a refund policy, and if so, what is it. Generally, I look for time lengths around 30 - 90 days, any shorter than that, and I am concerned that I won’t have enough time to really try out the program.  Any longer than that and I might forget to refund if I don’t like the program.

3. Do I need a big bunch of auxiliary stuff (at an increased cost) in order to make the original program work?

Articles Boost Your Income

Monday, June 4th, 2007

You’re selling snowboots, and you’re doing reasonably well. Suddenly you notice that the hits to your website are dropping off, and your sales are following. It’s winter; they should be moving really well! What’s happening?

Chances are good that a competitor is siphoning off your customer pool. If your website isn’t search-engine optimized or if your content is stale, your customers may be going somewhere else. Here’s what happens: your website is established, providing a nice catalog selection of snowboots and accessories. Paul’s Snowboots springs up out of nowhere, and determines that the way to get a good customer base is to make his website better than yours.

So Paul studies you. He figures out what keywords pull up your site, and he uses those on his site. He figures out who’s linking to you, and he requests reciprocal links from these vendors. And he discovers that you’re not offering anything to your customers but a nice place to buy snowboots at a fair price.

Paul starts writing articles, one every month on different aspects of snowboots. He posts articles on his website. He submits them to article exchange databases, finding more URLs to link to his site. He creates a regular newsletter, and once he’s captured a customer’s attention with the newsletter, he can continually remind them that he’s there and waiting whenever they’re ready to buy snowboots.

There’s a finite customer pool for snowboots; inevitably, you’re going to feel the pinch.

So how do you stop it?

Writing Articles To Capture and Keep Customers

Today’s average web consumer is terribly spoiled. He or she is used to getting a little something free. If your customers have been coming to your site for months or years and gotten nothing extra except a nice thank you note and a good price, then they may be ready for a change.

And the best freebie you can give them is an informative article. That’s what Paul knows that you don’t know.

So Paul has been writing articles: how to ensure your snowboots are waterproof, why you should buy a size larger than you think, what you can do to keep them smelling fresh inside, everything he can think of. And customers have been flocking to him, reading his articles, using his advice – and buying his boots.

The only way to fight back is to provide your own great article content, and even a newsletter.

But you don’t know how to write.

Finding Articles to Keep the Customers

That’s okay, believe it or not. It’ll cost you a little extra money, not much, to buy private label rights to web-optimized content from a professional writer. You can guide the writing of the articles, or you can purchase them pre-written; whichever way you go, your main task is going to be ensuring the articles add value to your customer’s trip to your website.

You can find articles to purchase from article brokers, or you can hire writers directly to write for your website. Either way, be certain you can put your own byline on the article; this makes it your own, no matter who wrote it to begin with.

But don’t stop there. Go ahead and start a newsletter, and ask your customers to sign up for more great information. And post some of your free articles to an article exchange site; you can get people linking to your website for no more work than sharing a single article.

And if you really want to one-up Paul, hire someone to write an ebook for your site. You gain guru status, your customers who have downloaded the book have a permanent reminder that you’re there, and Paul doesn’t know what hit him.

And Another Thing

Articles are useful for income generation in another way. If you have an emailed newsletter with a decent sized audience, you can sell advertising space on it to other vendors or to the companies that provide you with your brands of snowboots. A one-line ad from Lands End, another short ad from a startup making custom socks, and an ad from a site that sells Eskimo-style parkas. If you start selling advertising on your own newsletter, you can make back enough to pay for the newsletter at minimum, and you may even start to make a profit.

Make Money on the Internet

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

The great thing about cyberspace is that it’s free. While we will always pay for tangible goods in the physical world, we don’t have to fork over big bucks for a website. In fact, we can create websites of our own. I was somewhat shocked when my computer savvy brother taught me how to build my own website. I couldn’t believe that it was free. I actually had my very own spot on the Internet. No one could take that away. Do you have your own web space? Maybe you post photos online for family members to view at will, or possibly have your own business. This is a wonderful vehicle to help you with this.

What you want to market on the Internet is up to you. If you have a business in your home or in your local community, you can always expand to the Internet.

How effective is your networking strategy?

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

You do have one don’t you?

It’s likely you have a marketing and business development plan or strategy in place which will include titles such as corporate events and entertainment,  work, direct mail, cold calling, advertising, PR, sponsorship, seminars, pens with the company’s name embossed plus further headings which don’t spring readily to mind.

Do the words ‘networking activities’ feature? You will quite rightly argue that corporate events and entertainment and seminars could be included in this heading. That’s fine but do you know what return you get from these costly investments? Not just the expense of cash but the valuable time expended in terms of lost chargeable hours.

When we attend events we do so in one of two capacities, either as host or guest.

Just for Business Opportunity Seekers

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

In the past year I have tried to start a business out of my home. I had seen so many advertisements on the internet as well as the television about making money from home by being your own boss that I thought that this seemed like an interesting thing to look into. I did a search on general business opportunity seekers to see where I would be lead. My first search produced several thousands hits. I knew that not all of the business opportunity seekers could possibly be legitimate, but I did not know how to begin to sort through the vast numbers.

Letter of Job Offer

Friday, April 13th, 2007

As a business school instructor, I am amazed at the level of incompetence and ignorance some of my students display as to certain social niceties. Many of them do not know the basics of letter writing – many of them in fact don’t know how to write a basic English sentence. God only knows how they got into this university because I certainly don’t. Can you believe that we had to devote a whole day to learning letter of job offer writing? It was really quite amazing!
