Free Traffic Guide

James Stevens | Press Release: Free Traffic Guide

When I first started in internet marketing, I found it very difficult to get traffic to my website and without traffic, you can’t make any money. I knew that I could get lots of traffic through things like pay per click search engines, buying advertising space and ezine advertising but I simply did not want to start forking out truck loads of cash without being absolutely positive that I would get a good return on investment, so I searched for every free method of generating traffic I could find and tried them all.

I was very surprised. I had thought that using free methods would not bring great results and in order to get lots of traffic I would need to start spending lots of money but I was wrong, thanks Niall Mehaffey. The methods that I will tell you about now not only work, but can work extremely well if done right.

1)Articles - Write articles about the subject of your site and submit them to directories. This can bring you in a nice amount of traffic and if you can write quality, original articles then you have the chance that other webmasters/marketers will pick up your article and publish it on their website or in their newsletter. Depending on the quality of your article, you could gain thousands of visitors from it.

2)Traffic exchanges - Many marketers and webmasters believe that traffic exchanges do not work as the visitors you get are only there to gain visitors themselves and it is like a continuous cycle but if you can learn how to use the exchanges effectively then you have a very profitable traffic source. When you use exchanges, you must remember that the visitor is only going to see your site for around 15 seconds unless you can entice them to stay. A catchy headline, one paragraph of interesting text and a call to action is all you need. Do not try to sell directly in the exchange but instead capture leads.

3)Free advertising forums - What do you think people that use free ad forums are normally there for? The answer is because it is free. When you post an advertisement on an ad forum, you should definitely give something for free. You could give people free tips in exchange for their email address or a free ebook that contains links to your website inside, just realise that they are there to use free methods of advertising so do not try to sell anything to them, instead gain them as a lead and sell later.

4)Blogging - You can start a blog for nothing at blogger and use it to drive traffic to your website. Blogs are excellent for search engine traffic I think, as they seem to favor them over a static website and they are very easy to maintain. You could have your blog up and running within ten minutes and then all you need to do is choose some keywords and phrases that you think you could rank well for and write up some posts around those phrases.

5)Link exchanging - This is more of a long term strategy but do not be disheartened by that as if you can stick at it and continue to exchange links then you could find yourself gaining a lot of traffic from these links after a while. Say you get just one visitor a week from each exchange, well if you do ten exchanges a week then there’s ten visitors, by the end of the second week it will be twenty visitors and so on. Stick at it and you will reap the rewards.

Blog or an Article

James Stevens | Press Release: Blog or an Article

You may have been putting off the idea of writing articles but why? You may be thinking that you’ve got nothing to say or nobody would listen to what you want to say but if that was true how come blog’s have become so popular with the search engines? All the experts out there are doing it so they must be onto something. 

Blog’s are a great thing because they give your business a bit of personality and move your business away from just a cold emotionless website. Why do you think audio on websites have improved conversion rates, people can connect the sales letter with a person and if you put a picture up there and now they have a face to go with the voice and you improve your conversion even better!

Can you see where we’re going here?

So maybe now your thinking “I need a blog” But do you here’s a couple of reasons against it, you have to remember there’s no point starting a blog if you don’t have the time to add to it on a regular basis or if you don’t have enough to knowledge about your subject to write about it every day, there really is no point just starting a blog and writing any old thing. You’ll find that people will just stop reading it that’s even if they find it in the first place (that’s another day’s article.)

After thinking this over maybe a blog isn’t for you, but don’t think that people won’t be interested in what you have to say. If you don’t have the time or the knowledge to write about your subject daily why you don’t put your thoughts in the form of a series of articles. This way you can plod along at your own pace and give some quality information rather that just fluff (nobody likes to read fluff.) 

You’ll find that your quality article will get passed around and who knows where it could end up. Another benefit of article writing is that people will start to link your name with your product or service, so you come across as being an expert in your field. So when they think of “Product X” your name comes up and where do you think they go to buy it??

So don’t put it off another day, sit down now and put an article together you don’t have to have a degree in English, just put your personality into it and give some great advice or knowledge and you’ll go a long way,thanks Barry McDonald. And if you first article bombs, don’t give up, some of mine have and some have really taken off for me, you won’t know until you send it out and who knows what might happen?

MLM Network Marketing Recruiting Secrets

James Stevens | Press Release: MLM Network Marketing Recruiting Secrets

MLM Network Marketing Recruiting Secrets

These downline MLM network marketing recruiting secrets will help you recruit more people into your home based business by leveraging the power of internet marketing strategies and automated systems.

Many entrepreneurs in the MLM industry spin their wheels by trying to recruit people into their business by speaking to leads on the phone all day and by meeting people in person at presentations. But there is a better way,thanks to Adam Harding. And that better way for MLM downline recruiting involves automating your marketing with the internet and automating the closing of sales with turnkey systems and processes.

Article Marketing - One of the most powerful forms of recruitment in the online network marketing industry is by writing articles and blog posts. I advice you to write at least one keyword target article a day and post it to your online business blog. Then take that article and submit it to a number of high quality article directories for additional search engine traffic. Do this on a daily basis for at least 90 days straight, and the traffic you will receive will really start to snowball.

Facebook MLM Recruitment - Facebook is a great way to recruit people into your MLM downline. It is also one of the methods that duplicate the best. The key is to perform targeted searches on the social networking site to find other entrepreneurs who are in your same geographical area and who have similar interests to you. The aim is to strike up a conversation and build a friends list of contacts in the industry. 

When you have broken down the barriers of trust, you can gently point people towards your business opportunity. This method requires little skill and simply the ability to get on well with people. Your downline are likely going to be able to duplicate this as well because it does not depend on them understanding technical marketing strategies.

Video Marketing - I have found that one of the easiest ways to recruit people into your network marketing downline is by publishing videos online. These can simply be short videos of you giving general business advice and tips and just sharing the company that you are involved in. Just be yourself and people will relate to you. People don't join business opportunities for the company benefits or compensation plan, they choose to work with other entrepreneurs specifically regardless of what the attached opportunity is.

As you apply the above recruiting strategies to your MLM advertising campaigns, the key is to drive the traffic that you generate to a lead capture page to build your list of business opportunity seekers. Then follow-up via email on a daily basis and get as many eyeballs as possible onto the video presentation for your MLM company that closes the sales on your behalf.

Landing Page Best Practices

James Stevens | Press Release: Landing Page Best Practices

Landing Page Best Practices MICHAEL RANDELL

If you are using a landing page for your online marketing campaign, then you need to learn landing page best practices. There are a few important rules that you should follow when you are using a landing page to promote your business. These rules serve as the guide to help you create a nice landing page for your investment.

Once you have understood what is expected of you when using a landing page, it will be easier for you to find ways to make the page more effective and useful in your marketing campaign. The good thing about it is that there are many sources of advice on landing page etiquette that you may turn to for advice. This article seeks to provide you with important points that you should keep in mind when you are using a landing page, by Michael Randell. It will give you a list of landing page best practices to help you make your online marketing more successful.

For starters, you are supposed to ensure that the first headline of the landing page is attractive so that the targeted viewers can be tempted to click on the link. Remember, there are many similar businesses using the same method to attract customers. That is why you should ensure that your headline is catchy and unique. Creativity is the only card that matters in this type of playing field. You have to win the confidence of your target customers by giving them fresh and relevant content. 

If you do not know how to write a nice and attractive headline, seek help from a qualified content writer. Among the most important landing page best practices is ensuring that the CTA (call to action) message you create is big and effective. This should be created creatively so that the viewer can be tempted to click on the link. You have to understand that the online community is always busy. Therefore, if you want to catch their attention, you have to give them something that is unique and attractive. You can also use directional signals to direct your viewer's attention to the call to action message.

Another important landing page rule requires you to use your landing page for one purpose. This means that you should have one focused message on your page. This makes it easier for the viewer to understand your message. Trying to deliver two different messages at the same time will definitely confuse the viewer. It is hard to end the list of landing page best practices without mentioning that you need to make the page authentic. 

Due to the increasing number of unscrupulous online marketers using this method, many internet surfers are not interested in opening pages that don't look genuine. Therefore, you need to find better ways of making your landing page look more authentic. You can achieve this through real testimonials.

If you have any positive feedback from satisfied customers, place them on this page. You should also prove your social status by providing indicators to your status. These landing page best practices will definitely make your marketing campaign a success.

Online Mobile Marketing

James Stevens | Press Release: Online Mobile Marketing

Online Mobile Marketing

Marketing used to be static. Customers had no say. No control. Being a mobile phone user a decade ago meant you were ahead of the curve. You could be reached anytime, anywhere. Marketing isn’t static anymore. Being a mobile phone user nowadays doesn’t make you a leader, it’s the norm. When you combine the two what do you get: No more static. Your business needs to reach mobile phone users anytime, anywhere. This is mobile marketing.

To say mobile marketing carries influence would be an understatement. It’s more than just an influence. It’s an enabler to create newer, better customer experiences. Mobile marketing takes on many forms - from SMS to QR codes. But before we talk about QR, let’s look at the numbers behind the power of text messages and the potential it has for your business from a mobile marketing standpoint.

A common tactic in SMS marketing is the use of short codes. Short codes are concise - using a 5 digit numbers rather a traditional 10 digital number, and is easy to remember. No wonder then that in Canada alone, a total of 610 million common short code text messages were sent and received during the third quarter of 2012, thanks to Kyan Jacob. From a business perspective, mobile marketing is a beast. Reach more by saying less. It’s a brilliantly simple concept, don’t you agree?

But mobile marketing is more than just SMS. It’s a platform that, if used well, could also drive more content to your website (assuming you have one) and make your business more tech and on-the-go friendly. Your customers are staying still anymore. Mobile SEO was created to keep up with them on the go. Now back to our original outline, up next - QR Codes and its role in mobile marketing.

To fully understand the potential and persuasive nature of QR Codes, it’s important to look at statistics (again) to support the technology. In the 2nd quarter of 2012, it was reported by Scan life that 5.3 million scans were tallied in the month of June alone. This equates to the highest number of scans in a month. When looking at industry specifics, QR code rates vary. According to the same report by Scan life, the toy industry had the most success. But whether you’re in the toy business or not, it is difficult to deny how QR codes are changing the ways customers can interact with your business.

Mobile marketing is all about engagement and influence. Customers now hold the power in their hands. As a business, we’re turning into producers of content, with an aim to engage, enlighten, entertain and even educate. Whether you’re using mobile in the short code, SMS format to push alerts or are using QR codes in the interactive, see and shoot style, content matters for your business. 

The more you can engage and interact with your customers, the more they’ll remember you and keep coming back for more. No matter your business, you can use a mobile marketing to spice things up. It’s no longer enough to just launch and wait. Your customers are people too, and their personalities are different. So make your business different - add some content and mobile marketing to bring it to life.

James Stevens | Press Release: A Good Website in Online Business

Regardless of the purpose for which the site is set up, it must meet a number of requirements of functionality requirements. A good site reflects on the whole company. Although it is often thought that internet users leave a site very quickly if not properly designed, is in practice somewhat along. Often, the user himself to blame if he is not fast enough to find information or to place his order. 

Yet it is very important to have a good, intuitive website design. The quality radiates off because on the whole enterprise. Doing business on the Internet requires effective website design. What is a good website. The basic idea is that if it goes wrong, the user will think to himself what he should do, thanks Vaibhav Aggarwal. However, as long each step speaks for itself and he does not have to think, he is willing to quite a lot of time to spend on a website. 

Usability of the Website: Tips for a Commercial Website:

1. Use a clear visual hierarchy: The main things are visually bigger than the smaller things. Ensure for a quiet image and divide the page in clear sections.

2. Make use of convention: It is example customary to the icon of a shopping cart to use to something to the groceries basket to add. Try not original to Do by here radically of for wishing to derogate. Use just 'Search' as text for the button beside a search field and not 'Quick Search' or whatever.

3. Make clear what click able and what is not. Use example only underlined words if there also on clicked can be.

4. Ensure for a good navigation: A good navigation contains implicitly the instructions and the options these are available. The user must on each spot reassured be that he himself still under the umbrella its website is located and that there breadcrumbs his to get back on his path to return. The counterpart of the sign 'You are here' must be present. That can very subtle, example by color images coded tabs.

5. Avoid superfluous text: Summarized: no happy talk for e.g. 'Welcome on this site, we hope you ' etc. 'and no superfluous instructions like ' Choose in the pull down menu the choice that applies and 'etc.

6. Think a good tagline: One tagline is the texts of some words occurring below or near the title of the site state. The tagline tells what you on the site can find. For example: 'Personal development drupal smart people'.

Online advertising and promotion: 'Marketing by the unsolicited harass of people is no longer cost effective. The future belongs to marketers who a platform and a process devise with which interested people towards each able to market. Crank consumers networks to and do a step back order them with each other to let talk

It has a time lasted before advertising on internet effectively became and sites only of advertising-revenues profitable could be. In the early days of Internet advertising were the old used: banners and popups that unasked on the monitor appeared. These 'old fashioned' methods remain naturally to some extent effective, but make no use of the nature of the medium Internet. 

The net is interactive. Every action of the user on a site can direct use be order the advertising-expressions at to steer. These pull-strategy is much customer focused and thus more effectively. A user who on Google typed 'cheap tennis shoes' is probably quite willing to on a sponsored link of an online sporting goods shop (advertising text) clicking.
