4 Internet Marketing Tips

Here are a couple of marketing tips for free. If you are in a hurry.

I recommend you take a look at this:

Easy to implement marketing tips and quickies, increase traffic, sales and conversion rates, millionaire marketer Lee Benson and Andrew Fox will be your guide.

1.    Focus – Internet Marketing Tips

By that I mean, what´s your primary challenge right now ?

Do you need more traffic ?

Do you struggle with making sales of your webpage ?

Do you need to find a profitable niche ?

Do you want to build a  list you can market to ?

If you can decide what your primary and most profitable goal should be right now. You can put all that energy in one direction.

You´ll get much better end results and basically earn more money by taking one step backward and finding your primary goal of focus.

This can be for the day, week or even for the month, after that you can change focus again and implement something new into your business.

I see a lot of internet marketers that shift focus far to often which usually results in bad results overall.

2.    Traffic – Internet Marketing Tips

Even if you have traffic I guess you can always use more.
Traffic makes your business run, without it you will have a very hard time making sales.

Focus on one area at a time, choose between:

SEO – Search Engine Optimization

PPC- Pay Per Click Advertising using Google Adwords, Yahoo Seach Marketing or MSN Adcenter.

Socila Media & Web 2.0 Properties – Article Marketing, Forum posts and comments, Upload video to popular videosites, Twitter, Facebook and Myspace., Yahoo Answers.

Join a ”solo-email-list” like ListJoe. You can send your message to 3000 targeted people every third day. LINK TO LISTJOE

Banner advertising
Build JV relationships
Use the content network in Google and Yahoo

Choosing just one of these will keep you busy for several days minimum, depending on how far you want to go.

I would highly recommend using an article strategy to increase traffic longterm. Your articles won´t disappear  the next time Google changes their terms.

3.    Conversion – Internet Marketing Tips

What do you do when a customer lands on your page ?

They will give you about  five seconds to understand what your page is about. If it´s relevant to their search they might decide to stay. If it´s not, they will click the back button in an instant.

Conversion is the art to get your prospect to take a certain action.
Usually you would  like to generate a lead or a sale. You want to build a relationship with your prospects.

A LOT of people go wrong here, just make sure you are VERY clear on what your offer is and what your page is about.

Don´t use a lot of different fonts and colors, keep things very focused and communicate like you would to a friend of yours.

No need to shout or being extremely pushy, just a headline or a title that explain the  main benefit. It might be effective to have a ”heroshot” related to your business. You know, a guy or a girl smiling can sometimes be enough. We humans like to relate to other humans and if they are happy we get in a better mode as well.

But mainly, conversion is about the words and weather you understand your prospects or not.

If you write a headline that goes like this:

”I have developed the most amazing system to make money online, keep reading to unfold the secret…”

What´s wrong with that ?

Well, to start with, try to avoid talking about yourself, keep focus on your prospect and use the word ”YOU” a lot.

Be as specific as you can and target their biggest fear, frustration or benefit in the headline.

I guess the good thing with the headline above is that you get a little bit curious, but maybe we can write it like this instead:

Headline:

Our students  make $2400 / day,  you can steal the formula right here. You even get step-by-step instructions on how to implement it in less than 24 hours.

Subhead:
Say goodbye to being a slave under your boss and retire in five years from today.

4.    Create Your Marketing First THEN Your Product - Internet Marketing Tips

If you´ve ever thought about creating your own product. You need to think about this.

Create your marketing first then create your product. What I mean by that is that just writing a headline for your target audience will make you focus on specifics and solve a specific problem.

That´s a good thing…It will keep your product focused.

Try to write a sales letter before you even start making your product, make a bullet list of benefits from your product. You´ll soon realize that you can  use those bulletpoints as headlines for your product line.

If you like to create a cure for dog barking. You can start writing a couple of headlines based on your  research of the main problem with dog barking.
Why do people want their dog to stop barking?

Well, maybe they feel embarrassed as soon their dog barks in public.
You need to figure this out, by asking dog owners, going to forums or making a survey. You need to know what their biggest fears and frustrations are. When you do, create headlines that solves their problem.

When you have the headlines keep writing bulletpoints targeting more fears and frustrations and benefits.

After that you are ready to start to create your product because you´ll know what issues are most important to solve. Your customers will love you for it and the bottom line is. You´ll make more money.

Andrew Fox is a self-made online millionaire. He knows what converts and how to tweak a website to perfection. I highly recommend his step-by-step training, quickies you can implement in less than 60 minutes and increase conversion by 3 – 12%. www.copythesequickies.com

6.    Increase traffic by using both long term and short term traffic solutions. If you only want to focus on two areas to start with I recommend article marketing for the long term (sometimes even for the short term) and  paid services like solo-emails and PPC for some quick short term traffic. PPC can definately be used for long term traffic as well, but you need to set things up more carefully.

7.    Long tail keywords, if you don´t know what that is you need to learn all you can about them. In short, long tail keywords are phrases of 3 – 8 words combined, together they become ONE keyword phrase. The competition is lighter and you can rank more easily for those phrases and if you use PPC your cost per click will be much lower. Don´t underestimate the power in the free Google keyword tool for your keyword research. Here´s an example of a long tail keyword: ”Internet Marketing Tips Orlando”. This keyword phrase consists of four words and should be spelled like this exactly if you want to rank for the phrase.

8.    Try to outsource some of your work. You can start very small and then increase as you go. Start with just an hour a week and go from there. Your time is valuable. If you haven´t already you should put a value on your time.

9.    Time management is important in any business , distractions might make the difference being successfull or not. Take control of the time you have at hand and treat it with respect. One hour of aimless forum browsing could have been a keyword targeted article instead, driving traffic to your site or offer. By that I don´t mean that forum browsing is always a bad thing. I just mean that you must decide what´s valuable to do with your time right now, to get  great results fast.

10.    Being in a mastermindgroup with weekly calls is proven to grow businessess fast. You can either pay for this or just start out with a couple of friends scheduling weekly calls. Try to focus on one member at a time, everyone focus on just your business and brainstorms together with you. Consider joining a paid group to get as professional advice as possible.

Now take action and implement one, two or better yet all of these Internet marketing tips into your online business.

Internet marketing for online business – your success blueprint

Are you running an online business and want to know how to create your online marketing strategy. This article about Internet marketing for online business is going to give you some key strategies to grow your business online, increase traffic and sales.

I am only going to discuss proven strategies that many successful marketers have used before including myself.

If you have any doubt about the content, I have been a former student to several, well known Internet marketing gurus like:

Eben Pagan
Frank Kern
Mike Filsaime
Don Crowther (Stompernet)
Ryan Deiss
Alex Goad

These guys use these strategies all day long to generate targeted traffic and increase sales.

Here are a couple of things that I am going to describe to you in this article about Internet marketing for online business:

The “almost” hidden upsell

How to use the word FREE without losing money

Lead generation for life

Generate traffic in a nutshell

Building JVs

One thing that Mike Filsaime is really good at, is implementing offline strategies into an online business. This works surprisingly well, especially if we look at one of his favourites; Would you like a Coke with that ?

I am sure you have visited some kind of fastfood restaurant and ordered a burger or something. If you think about it I am also sure that someone also asked you if you wanted a Coke with that burger or some fries, or a dip sauce or maybe a pair of pants…:-)

In the offline world upsells have been a natural part of doing business. We have had them online for a while as well but not really as sophisticated as Mike implemented this strategy.

When you make a sale you have probably worked hard to get that particular person inside your funnel, even if you make a very small sale. You have a customer at your door trusting you with his credit card.

Your customer is in a mental state of buying, you can use this and offer another relevant product that your prospect actually wants. You see people hate being sold, but love buying. It is just a question of offering another relevant solution to one of your prospects problems.

This is why I call it an “almost” hidden upsell. Your prospects aren´t going to feel sold to because you offer them a relevant product when they already are in the mood of buying.

How can you use the word free without losing money?
Here are some interesting thoughts on Internet marketing for an online business.

Free is a power-word, it is used in copywriting all the time because this small word makes people take action.

I attended a seminar with Eben Pagan in Los Angeles and he wanted people to come on the stage and talk to him. When he saw that people hesitated, he turned around and grabbed something behind a chair.

He raised a new iPod touch in the air and told everyone that the best tip, as voted by the group, would get this Ipod touch…people ran to the stage, ready to give away million dollar advice for “free”.

The very same thing happens on the Internet if you offer something for free, people love free especially if it is “quality free”.

Take your most valuable technique, strategy or whatever and create a free pdf where you reveal everything, you do NOT leave anything out. Give your best stuff away for free. Make sure you place a link inside that PDF that goes to your website or lead generation page.

You see, some people are afraid of giving really good stuff away for free, the thing is. People will start to trust you if you give them value and they will think something like this; If this guy give me this for free, his paid content have to be awesome.

All you need to do is to make sure that your paid content is very good and actually solves their problems. If you can do that you should never hesitate to give away your best technique for free.

Use your free content as a lead generation tool to create a list of people that trust you and want to learn more from you.

As long as you have people on your list you can make a sale later on. I have been on several lists for years and eventually I buy something. Sometimes you have to wait a week, sometimes a month and sometimes several years.
But know this, if you offer value to your list and treat them nicely you can never go wrong. Your list is probably going to be one of your online business most valuable assests.

Internet marketing for online business, the basic idea of traffic.
We all need traffic to our websites to survive. I am not going to take you through an in depth traffic formula here. I am just going to make sure that you know the path of traffic.

Here are three main areas you need to focus your attention to.

SEO, search engine optimization

PPC, pay per click

Social Media, like video marketing, article marketing, forum postings, twitter, facebook

JVs, create joint ventures with people in related businesses

If you already are inside all of the above, good for you, If not, I would recommend you start out with a combination of SEO and PPC. When you have a decent website up with content, create a couple of Google Adwords campaigns for it.

When you see results from both SEO and PPC, start to implement a couple of social media strategies into your business as well.

I also recommend that you try to build up a list of people that are interested in doing JVs with you. A JV can take place in a lot of forms, just make sure you offer value and give them a really good deal, don´t be cheap.

A single JV partnership can give you access to a very big email-list that you can pre-sell your product to. Such a partnership can easily be worth $100,000 in a week.

When you contact a potential JV partner I recommend you call them personally or Fedex them a really cool package. People always open a Fedex.

In some niches you might get good feedback by leaving some money in the package, how much is up to you and the partner you ship to.

Some people might get offended and some people will probably think you are a cool dude.

If I open a package and the first thing I see is a 20 dollar bill and some text that says: Would you like to make 20 of these a day just by making me a call?

Now, take action and implement these strategies as part of your Internet online marketing, keep your feet steady, on solid ground before you try to fly…like Karate Kid…and Internet marketing for online business will be very rewarding for you.

Take care out there
