Doing things Right

March 16, 2011 By 1 Comment

doing things right!

We’ve all heard the saying, “if you’re going to do something, you may as well do it right”, and the same goes for building a business out of your blog. There are a hundred shortcuts that we can take to get where were going, but in the end we’ll find some of those shortcuts actually hurt our businesses. Take the time to build it right from the very beginning, and I assure you, you won’t regret it!

Proper planning is a necessary ingredient for any business, and equally so for your blog. You need to invest the time into researching what it is you plan to blog about so you’re prepared for what comes next. If the top twenty competing sites are all multi-million dollar enterprises, then you can be pretty sure it’s going to be a tough go if you want any of the keywords they are targeting, simply because they most likely out man you in resources as well as finances.

One of my competitors spent over $800,000 in advertising in the previous to me starting my site. I knew this going in, and understood the challenge I’d face going against him. I also knew Wikipedia held the first spot for many of my chosen keywords so that was just one more challenge I’d face trying to rank for those keywords.

In this day and age, the average person can definitely go against the giants, and not only fare ok, but even flourish. The work smarter, not harder adage will definitely come into play in online marketing efforts, and at the end of the day it’s not the person with the most money that wins, but the one with the most skill, and knowledge and who applies that knowledge most consistently.

You might be saying to yourself that they can then just hire an expert to lead their online marketing efforts, but the thing you need to realize is internet marketing is still in it’s infancy, and the number of qualified internet marketers are vastly outnumbered by the corporations that could potentially hire them, most of who are busy building their own online empires, and leaving the corporate world that would recruit them.

Part of “doing things right” would have to also include an educational phase, and since many of the variable are constantly changing and emerging you’ll need to set aside some time to learn the ins and outs of these new methods that crop up. Just a few short years ago, perhaps even more recently, you’d most likely have had no idea how to use Twitter to further your brand, and business goals. Now it is considered an integral part, and you see big names joining on a daily basis. Those brands are already a year behind the times and at an immediate disadvantage until they get under way.

There are some crucial areas of your business that shouldn’t be overlooked if you’re serious at all about succeeding and overtaking those currently in front of you, and already enjoying the sales or visitors you seek. How many back links did you build yesterday? How about the day before? Back link building should be part of your daily/weekly/monthly routine, and you should be tracking where and how you are getting them.

How about sales? How many of yesterday’s visitors did you convert? If the answer was zero, did you work on tweaking any of your sales copy? Did you evaluate what it was that may have gone wrong, or did you simply wait to see what would happen today? If you chose to wait, how long have you been waiting for a sale? STOP WAITING! Go out and figure out what it is they are looking for, what they need in order to convert from visitors to customers, and then implement the changes. Because this is your business, there is nobody above you to keep an eye on profits, so the job falls solely to you.

10 Things to Help YOU succeed in Business

February 14, 2011 By 7 Comments

Ten things to help you succeed in business

Launching an online business is exciting, and filled with hope, and opportunities, but it does also have a certain amount of unique challenges that go along with it. Here are some things I feel will benefit you and your online business, and come from my personal experience in internet marketing.

1.       Quality content vs. going for simple quantity. Too many people are publishing volume articles of low quality in the hopes that if they saturate the internet with it, they’ll end up with more sales and leads. This can be a great thing for you, because by spending the time to produce high quality pieces both for blog posts, and in the internet marketing products you create you will stand out from the masses who are focusing on just getting something out regardless of what it is.

2.       ABC Always be creating content (Thank you Darren Monroe for one of many great tips!) It’s important to be devoting time each and every day toward furthering your online business, and part of that is the production of content, both free in the form of articles, training video’s, guest posts, etc. as well as in content that you can put towards products you intend to sell, after all if you don’t have anything for sale, then even if you do get thousands of visitors a day, you’ll never truly reach your income potential, and be left wondering just what happened.

3.       Building your network is something you should always be working on, respond to your comments personally, spend some time retweeting those in your Twitter circle, answer the questions that are posed to you in emails. By working on your network of contacts in a personal manner, you’ll be building valuable relationships that will go a long way toward building your business at the same time.

4.       I talk a lot about the importance of setting goals, and making a plan to reach those goals. After all if you don’t know where you are heading, or just how you intend to get there, your chances of ever arriving, are extremely limited to say the least. Make sure you set goals regularly, have a daily “to do” list, also make sure you have monthly, 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month goals, and that they all line up with each other. For example if you’d like to have 10,000 RSS subscribers at the end of the year, make sure you have a plan in place, and are working toward it with your shorter term goals.

5.       Don’t be an island. What I mean by that is don’t try and go it alone, there are so many talented individuals who have already been where you are now, and even more that are heading to the same place you are. Network with them, and share ideas with them, we can all learn from each other, and I guarantee you we have a much greater knowledge collectively than we do individually. Reach out and introduce yourself to types of people, those you can help, and those who can help you.  Don’t be discouraged that not everyone wants to connect, some individuals won’t want your help, and others are only in it for themselves.

6.       Always be educating yourself on the different aspects that are relevant to your online business. There are so many different areas to work on that it is a lifelong process, and if you develop the habit of learning, reading, watching training video’s, etc. on these areas, you’ll find yourself becoming a much better internet marketer because of it. Here are just a handful of areas you could be focusing your online education on:

-          Marketing

-          Internet Marketing

-          Affiliate Marketing

-          Search Engine Optimization

-          Traffic generation techniques

-          Keyword research

-          Analytics

-          Social Media Strategies

-          Writing

-          Copywriting

-          Web design

-          Graphic design

-          List building

-          Relationship building

-          Sales funnels

-          Outsourcing

-          Consulting

There are probably hundreds more that could be added to this list quite easily, but you get the picture. Developing your online education should be something you focus on early, and continue doing for life, it isn’t something you can just blitz through in 12 weeks, and be done with. Our business is constantly changing and evolving, in order to stay on top, we need to evolve with it.

7.       Just like education should be started from the very beginning, and continue throughout your online career, so should your list building efforts. Time and time again, you’ve heard “The money is in the list” yet so many of you haven’t started a list building campaign, and when I ask you about it, the answer is generally that you don’t want to commit to the $20 a month fee that comes with an email solution such as Aweber. Leaving hundreds or thousands of dollars on the table because you aren’t willing to invest the price of a few drinks each month is not a reason, but an excuse. Start building your list now. Here is a coupon so you can get your first month for just a dollar, take advantage of it.

8.       Track your results. You should always be tracking and testing the different campaigns you have running to see where the results are stemming from. If you are driving traffic to an offer from 12 different sources, but 2 or 3 are resulting in 80% of the traffic you should be focusing your time and energy on those few areas. By logging the results you are experiencing from different aspects of your business, you will also have a handy reference guide next time you decide to launch a product, need to set up a new SEO campaign, or perhaps use some similar type keywords that you’ve used in the past.

9.       Focus! This might sound like a lesser important piece of this list, but it is actually one of the most important ones. There is something that is quite real in our line of work, and it is called “information overload”, and it can not only get in your way, but block it entirely if you aren’t careful. Spend the time researching the areas that you feel are important to your business, and then work those aspects until you’ve succeeded with them. Too many people in internet marketing bounce from one idea to the next looking for that get rich quick method that will provide them with an easy living with next to no work involved. Rather than waste your time, listen to my advice, and spend the time doing the work now so that you can enjoy the benefits of a business that is well built and providing you and your family with an income.

10.   Last but not least, don’t give up, don’t ever give up! If something isn’t working, reevaluate, reeducate, and figure out why. Maybe ask someone who has already been there before you for some advice, then choose to listen to it, or seek out more advice, but don’t give up. This business is no harder, nor easier than any other business out there. It is possible as you can see by all the people who have already succeed before you. If they can do it, so can you. Failure is not an option!

If internet marketing is something you are truly passionate about, then the only thing standing between you and success are time, commitment, education, and application. If you believe that you can, then you will, it’s only a matter of time! See you there!

Choosing a Domain Name

October 1, 2010 By 2 Comments

Choosing a domain

For many people starting an online business, one of the first steps taken, is to brainstorm for several hours, and research different domain name configurations that will work best for them. I’m going to share a few of the things I personally look for and point you to some resources that may help you with the task, and hopefully you’ll find yourself with a great domain that will last you many years into the future.

.Com vs. .org, etc.

When choosing a TLD (top level domain) I highly recommend a dot com over any of the other choices such as dot org, dot net, etc. Most people especially the non-technically savvy will naturally type in website.com vs. website.org I don’t know about you, but I’m not willing to loose even a small percentage of traffic to type in errors like this. Also, dot coms have a higher perceived value should the need arise and you have to sell your site or domain for one reason or another, especially if there already exists a similar domain that already has the dot com.

Eliminating imposters

Often when a website or product becomes popular other sites will spring up, hoping to capitalize on the original sites popularity. You can help avoid this by also registering the .net, and .org extensions to try and prevent this from happening and simply redirect any visitors who might type these extensions in, and point them to the dot com site.

To hyphenate or not to hyphenate, that is the question.

Not really, it’s always better not to use hyphens in my opinion, especially if your domain uses more than two words, however I have had certain sites that were better off hyphenated. For example, I owned a domain trading and selling site called domains exchanged which I’m sure you’ll agree after seeing it would perhaps been better with a hyphen www.domainsexchanged.com since most people read it domain sex changed dot com, in a case like this you may want to consider using a hyphen.

Length of your domain

A domain name can be anywhere up to 67 characters or 63 since you’ll need to count the .com as well.
I suggest you aim for a much lower number of characters whenever possible, as most people will not be able to remember such a long name, as well as they tend to look a bit spammy when you see something like this – www.clickheretomakelotsofmoneyonlinetodayforfree.com which was 48 characters (including the .com) Personally I try to keep my domains under 24 characters whenever possible, the shorter it is the easier it will be to remember if you’ve chosen correctly.

Branding and avoiding copyright issues

Whenever possible you want to start right from the beginning to set yourself apart and start to brand your website, blog, or company. PLR Internet Marketing is the name of my website and company, and I’ve worked hard to brand it into my website, eBooks, video’s, fan pages and everything else you can think of. If your site is about Facebook marketing tips, your much better off branding “Marks Marketing” over something like “Marks Facebook Marketing” simply because if you spend a year branding and building it up, spending countless hours and dollars only to have Facebook have their lawyers send you a cease and desist letter asking you to remove the “Facebook” part of your name, it’s only going to cause you grief down the road. You may get away with it for months or even years, but if they do happen to decide they don’t want you infringing on their corporate name, chances are you won’t have the resources to fight them on the issue, and you’ll lose all your hard work and effort. It’s much better to brand yourself right from the beginning, without trying to capitalize on their brand or image.

Registration costs

It’s typically around $10.00 for the year if you’re going with a dot com domain, if you read my article a couple of weeks back, you know that you can often times pick one up using a coupon for as little as .99 cents even. I’d suggest that you register your domain for as long as you plan to have the business or website. A $100.00 investment for a domain registered for the next ten years certainly isn’t a lot, and it can even help you with Search engines as they will often times look to see how long a domain is registered for. A site registered for 1 year may be taken less seriously than a site registered for five, or ten. I mean after all, if you don’t feel confident registering for more than a year, why should anyone else expect you to be around longer than that?

Also registering your site for five, or ten years will help you to feel like your building something of substance that will be around for years to come, and not just a fly by night site that will be here for a year, and then either picked up for another, or if it isn’t doing so well let slip away. Hopefully it’s your intention to continue to build and improve your site for the long term.

All the Good ones are taken

Not true, but it definitely is harder than it used to be finding a suitable domain name to represent your new site. Here are a few sites that may help you with your search.

www.bustaname.com/ is a site that takes your keywords that you’ve input, and tells you if any of the possible configurations are available to register. You can set it to only look at possible 2 word dot coms for example, and after typing in your preferred set of keywords that you’d like to see in your domain, it will let you know which ones are available as well as which registrars are offering the best price at the moment. It will also give you similar word suggestions that you may not have already thought of. It’s a great resource, and best of all, it’s free!

Buying a premium domain that has already been registered is another choice if you have the funds for it. Companies like www.buydomains.com/ buy thousands of unregistered or dropped domains on a daily basis with the sole intention of selling them at a profit. Remember often times the amount listed can often be lowered, so don’t be intimidated if your domain of choice happens to be listed at $2000.00 try offering them $1000.00 and see what happens.

Whatever domain you finally end up with, I’d suggest you treat this step as an important one, after all this is something you’ll be investing a lot of time, and effort into most likely over the coming months or years, and it’s kind of like a tattoo, it’s pretty much permanent… or at least very hard, and painful to change.

Good luck on your journey

How to Write Good Sales Copy – Revolutionize Your Online Business!

July 30, 2010 By 5 Comments

Sales Copy For Internet MarketingWhen it comes to running an effective website for a business, good sales copy is one of the most important aspects of internet marketing. Good sales copy will pique their interest in your product and persuade them to find out more about whatever it is you’re selling. If you want to make money online, you can’t do it without writing good sales copy. Fortunately, it’s not as difficult to do as you might think. The first step is easy: you need to grab the reader’s attention with a unique headline. The more dynamic your title, the more likely people are to be curious enough to click on it, if only to see if you can back up what your headline promises.

The next step to effective sales copy for internet marketing is to reel in the truly curious by giving them just enough information to whet their appetites for more. You don’t want to give away all of your secrets in this step. You just want to write enough to intrigue them. Tell them that your product or service will help them, but don’t explain how. In order to get that information, they’ll need to stick around for the next step, and you can’t make money online if you give away all of your secrets for free.

You then want to give them a few details about your product. Once again, because you want to make money online, you want to give them only the details that you can afford to give away for free. Give them an outline of how your product or service works and why they need it. Tell them about all of the benefits of your product or service. And, if appropriate, offer them a free trial or some other low-risk opportunity to give your product or service a test drive. Good internet marketing often involves offering irresistible deals.

Finally, after you’ve laid everything you’ve got out on the table, call them to action. You’ve shown your hand, and it’s now their turn to act. Good sales copy will be able to persuade them to do just that, and to do it quickly. If you can write persuasive sales copy, your internet marketing strategies will be that much more effective. And if you’re still reticent about writing it yourself, there are plenty of resources available for you to hire a writer or even purchase a pre-written script that you can alter to fit your needs. If you want to make money online, this is a must for you.

Advanced Internet Marketing – Advanced Marketing Suggestions

July 7, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Advanced Internet MarketingMost businesses, particularly those that are born online, do not live past infancy. Keeping an online business turning a profit can be tricky, and unless it takes off quickly an online business will likely die out before it ever gets big. This is compounded by the fact that for any business idea, there are likely dozens if not hundreds or even thousands of similar business models on the internet. Fortunately, there are advanced internet marketing tactics available to online business owners that can help get your website noticed. Here, we will go over some of the simple ideas behind the more complex internet marketing strategies, and how they can benefit your business.

Advanced internet marketing is often required for businesses that are struggling to maintain a foothold in a crowded niche, or who want to get an extra edge over a troublesome competitor. These marketing tactics are often more expensive and time consuming than standard internet marketing formats, such as content creation for search engine optimization and standard advertising tactics. However, because of the enhanced degree to which they produce results, advanced marketing tactics can be more than worth the money and time spent.

One of the more popular advanced internet marketing strategies is to tweak large amounts of private label rights content (or PLR content) to suit the needs of your website. PLR content is essentially readymade articles, blog entries, and even multimedia such as video, that can be edited by the party purchasing it and then reused. This allows a high degree of versatility in how the product is used, as well as a high volume of content to be uploaded to a particular site. PLR content is especially useful for businesses that take part in affiliate marketing, either by providing teasers for larger products or for optimizing the site for search engines.

Another advanced internet marketing tactic that will likely prove useful is increasing the link quality of a website. Part of what determines how early on in a search engine results page a particular website appears (also known as search engine rank) is a value called link quality. Link quality is determined by the number of links leading to the website in question, as well as how “respected” those links are (that is, how many users access the links, and where they come from). Having a high link quality is an excellent way to draw more traffic to a site.

Entrepreneur – Tips for Starting an Online Business

July 4, 2010 By 2 Comments

entrepreneur

The explosion of online business has lead to a lot of opportunities for people to start their own businesses that might not have had the capital before. If you are a budding entrepreneur looking for a way to get your ideas out there and making money, then taking those ideas online is an excellent way to start. Thanks to the low cost of starting and operating an online business, virtually anyone can generate the capital needed in order to get their foot in the door. Here, we will go over a few tips to consider when starting your own business.

Any entrepreneur will tell you that one of the most important things for a new business is for it to get noticed. Unfortunately, the online business world is often crowded with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of similar ideas jockeying for the same niche. Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to set yourself apart from the competition, be it offering better products and services at lower prices, or putting a unique spin on an idea. Having a way to set yourself apart from competitors is crucial, especially in the early stages of any online business.

As an internet entrepreneur, you will also want to make extensive use of internet marketing tactics to draw users to your business. While there are many ways to accomplish this, they all work on the same essential principles. The first goal of any online business is to get users to the website and looking at the products and services. Secondly, you will want to ensure a high rate of sale conversion (customers that actually buy what you are selling). Lastly, providing customer support services and making sure your site is easy to use and simple to navigate are excellent ways to ensure that customers leave happy and come back again.

Taking advantage of your skills as an entrepreneur to create a unique online business can be difficult, but ultimately quite rewarding. A strong combination of a solid business foundation and internet marketing tactics will enable you to attract customers, make the sale, and then keep those customers coming back for more. Keep in mind that the internet moves at a faster pace than the rest of the business world, and keeping up with the rest of the market often requires you to stay up to date on the latest methods for marketing and business. Staying on top of all the different segments of your business can sometimes be overwhelming. If this is the case for you, it might be prudent for you to seek out a business partner that complements your abilities to run your business. If you’re looking for somebody to help you get your business startup moving forward, you should first read this article, in which Michael Fertik describes the best way go to about picking a business partner.

Internet Based Business – Running an Online Business

June 30, 2010 By 3 Comments

Running an online businessThe advent of the internet based business market has made it possible for virtually anyone with a little bit of starting capital to create their own business. There are a number of advantages of running an online business, especially when compared to real world local businesses. Online businesses are a great way to make money from home, and here we will go over how online businesses are unique, as well as how you can go about getting started.

There are many advantages to running an internet based business over a real world business. Internet businesses do not require nearly as large an amount of starting capital, as there is no rent to pay on a location, a smaller or complete lack of staff, and lower operating costs. Another advantage to owning an online business is that you can work from home, and even a modest home office will generally be enough to cover your needs. You can make your own hours, and work as often or as little as you like. Online businesses have access to a significantly larger customer base than real world businesses, and can provide the same products and services as any real world business.

Starting an internet based business generally begins with an idea, just as any other business does. Most internet based businesses either provide products to customers, shipped by mail, or offer services digitally (such as digital personal assistants). Your business can also be a website, which can bring in revenue from advertising. Most websites that make their money from advertising are centered on providing entertainment media or helpful information, in order to draw in a large volume of traffic, which in turn causes more users to see the ads.

There are several important things you will want to take into account when starting your own internet based business. The first thing is that it can be very difficult to get noticed online, so marketing your business effectively is important. This can be done in a number of ways, from web promotion and advertising to search engine optimization. Regardless of how it is accomplished, you will want to get your business’ name out there as strong and as early as possible. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a very strong competition for almost every type of online business, so being able to do something better or for less money than everyone else is difficult, but crucial.

Tips for Building your E-Mail List

June 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment

E-Mail List

If you are looking for an easy way to work from home, then you may have considered a number of different possibilities. Some people start an e-business, although this typically takes a solid investment of time and resources, and some people simply don’t have what it takes to succeed in the world of online business. Some people write blogs, but this also requires a lot of time and a fair amount of writing ability. However, there is a solution for those that don’t have tons of extra time on their hands, or the capital to start a business of their own: the e-mail list. Here, we’ll go over how to set about building an e-mail list, as well as how it can make you anything from a little extra cash to a significant income.

An e-mail list is, essentially, a specialized type of newsletter designed to be sent to large groups of people electronically. The electronic nature of an e-mail list allows it to be published and disseminated free of charge, meaning the only money you spend will be on your internet connection and the web space upon which your site is hosted. This low starting cost means that virtually anyone can get started with a simple web site and a little marketing savvy.

The first thing you’ll need to consider when starting an e-mail list is, obviously, what to write about. Because of the large number of e-mail lists in existence, it’s important to provide something unique, or to provide better or cheaper information than your competitors. Writing about what you know is key here, because if you write about something in which you have little to no expertise, you will be beaten out by actual experts in the field. When creating teasers for your e-mail list to entice readers, be sure not to give away all your secrets in the preview. You’ll want to give them a reason to actually subscribe.

There are different ways to make money from a mailing list. Some e-mail list creators charge a fee for access to the newsletter, while others have an agreement with users that they can give out their e-mail addresses and, occasionally, other personal information in exchange for payment. Regardless of the method by which you make money, it is important to find ways (such as internet marketing, SEO, and so on) to increase the amount of traffic to your site.

Make Money Online – Ways to Make Money

June 18, 2010 By 7 Comments

make money onlineThere are a number of different ways to make money online, and a huge variety to the amount of time and effort that one needs to put into it in order to do so. Whether you are looking for an effective way to make a primary income or simply get a little extra cash on the side, working online can provide plenty of opportunities for cash. Here, we’ll go over a few of the more common ways to make money on the internet, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each.

One of the most common ways for people to make money online is through creating or taking part in the development of a website. There are many different ways for websites to make money, from advertising to selling products. Websites that have rich content such as videos, games, or other things that tend to draw users, can create large amounts of traffic on their websites. This in turn allows them to host advertisements and make money whenever a user visits that page. Being involved in a website that has a large amount of traffic and uses advertising to generate income is a great way to make money.

Another common way to make money online is to work from home running an online business. These businesses can sell virtually anything, and there are many advantages to running a business on the internet. For example, online businesses regardless of their actual size have access to an incredibly large customer base, allowing you to sell to consumers all over the world. With broadband access in nine out of ten United States homes, as well as hundreds of millions of homes all over the world, you are able to sell products to a huge audience. If you are looking for a great place to sell anything, the internet is a fine solution.

Another way to make money online is through a process called affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing allows you to generate leads for businesses, and then sell these leads. A lead is essentially a collection of information about a consumer that will allow a business to potentially convert that lead into a sale. Lead generation is a very common business online, because it is relatively easy to get information on consumers through surveys and other methods. Having a website where you collect information and then provide that information to businesses can be very profitable.
