Business Marketing Blog

What can you do with your blog so that people become interested in your specific company, view your presentations and opt into your list? Included in this article are some things you can do with your blog that will ultimately boost profits for you.

1. Talk about what makes your company special. You want to provide your visitors with inside information. Try to provide useful information that they can apply to help them in their own business. If they see that you provide useful information that can help them be successful, they will be more likely to subscribe to your blog and recommend it to others. Talk about your products and maybe about an upcoming promotion to build interest.

2. Share with your viewers important information or news regarding your company or your industry in general. If your company is releasing a new product, create a blog post about that. Be sure to cite how your products are different from anything else already on the market. Blog about things related to your specific niche as well. If your company promotes a weight loss product, you may want to write about specific diets that compliment the use of the suppliments you are selling. the more interesting you can make your blog to readers, the more it will establish you as a leader in your niche or industry.

3. Hold contests and giveaways. There are many creative ways to get people talking about your blog, and contests are one great way to do that. Try to make sure that the prize is attractive to your readers or you’ll just be wasting your time. For instance, if your company sells electric guitars and that is what the focus of your blog in general is, then you would probably want to avoid giving out gift certificates to Target as a contest prize. You need to put yourself in the shoes of your readers and consider what would you like to get if you won a contest at your favorite blog?

4. Keep your blog as professional as possible remembering that you blog represents your

Blogging For Business

company and or YOU as a brand. Don’t use it as your personal diary. Don’t do a blog post about what you ate for lunch unless maybe you are doing a blog on restaurant reviews. If you get any rude comments on your blog, and you will, once your blog really gets popular, answer them in a calm, professional manner. Don’t get sucked into an angry worded debate. remember that other visitors and potential customers or business partners will be watching. Remember that every blog tends to have more lurkers than people who comment so even if you don’t see people responding, they are there and see what goes on.

Keep these tips in mind as you compose your blog posts. A blog can be a fantastic tool for building relationships with your customers, and to giving them a better idea of who you are and what your company is all about. Pay attention and give them what they need, and they will be much more likely to visit your blog and buy from you or join your business.

Easy PHP Redirect Script For Affiliate Links

Easy PHP Redirect Code For Affiliate Links

It’s time to change the way you redirect your pages to affiliate links. Google does not like bare affiliate links and it looks like they also are not big fans of the 301 Redirect.

You can easily create a php redirect that looks like a normal page to the Almighty Google.

Have your affiliate link ready and follow the process below

Paste this code into a text file using notepad

/* Redirect browser */
header(“Location: http://YourAffilliateLinkHere.com/”);
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>

Next, in the code you pasted in notepad, Replace the http://YourAffilliateLinkHere.com with your actual affiliate link followed by a /

Save it to your desktop as “index.php”by selecting “All files” on the drop down menu, not .txt when saving. Be sure that you include the .php extension or it will not work.

Next, create a new folder in your domain root directory or if you use Hostgator You create a new folder with the keyword you are targeting in your public_html folder on your hosting account.

Upload the index.php file to that directory. In naming the directory use a keyword related to the product you are redirecting to.

Upload your “index.php” file into the folder you just created.

You now have a a nice, clean link to use in place of your affiliate link that looks like this: http://mysite.com/recommendedproduct.

That’s all there is to it. So far, the search engines cannot read php, so it is a safer way to cloak your links.

Easy Article Marketing Strategy

Article marketing is among the most powerful online marketing tools used for promoting home business websites. In order to be able to benefit from this powerful strategy you really have to know exactly how it works and have a system in place that you follow religiously to generate more deep links to your main blog resulting in increased traffic and more targeted leads opting into your list.

Article Marketing is not something that generates traffic overnight. It requires patience and work. Yes, I said the “W” word… “Work”! Sorry to burst your bubble but as in anything else if you want to build a successful business there is no such thing as an Easy Button. There is however a shortcut you can take which will dramatically decrease the amount of time it takes to get posts ranking on page 1 in Google and that is Empower Network. <— Click the link to dramatically reduce your time and amount of work necessary to start generating leads and converting sales as well as earning 100% commissions directly from Empower Network. Or read on if you’d rather do it the long and drawn out way…

There’s literally thousands of articles submitted to the top article directories each and every week and unfortunately only a small percentage are getting the results they require to be able to grow their business. The main objective is to write high quality content which will be of value to readers and target the articles at keywords that are not overly competitive . Sometimes it is better and faster going for the low hanging fruit.

Personally I tend towards using long-tail keywords. Using the Google keyword search tool you should pick long tail keywords which have a good daily and monthly search rate but not ones which will give you little or no chance of ranking on page 1.

Your 1st Step in an Effective Article Marketing Strategy would be writing a quality 500 to 600 word article that includes your chosen keyword phrase in the title plus a couple times in the body of the text and once at the end if possible without making it look keyword stuffed The objective of creating your article really should be to inspire Interest, Attention, & Action. Divide the article into small paragraphs which makes for easier reading.

The goal of writing your article must be to inspire Interest, Focus, Want, & Action. Divide the article into small paragraphs which makes for easier reading.

The Vast majority of article directories will primarily permit links via the resource box. You need to create a concise but persuasive resource box with a call to action and a link returning to your blog using your keyword phrase as the anchor or link text . A great number of article directories will allow just 2 url links in the resource box.

Always be certain to proof read your document and make use of spell check before you submit it live to an article directory website. If your article is badly written people won’t keep reading and most likely will not ever visit your blog or product sales site.

Create an account on one of the better ranking and most preferred article directory sites such as Ezine-articles or Go-articles. Fill out the user profile particulars and try to make it as high quality as you can and take advantage of the profile area as well to point back to your blog. Your user profile is really a great resource to present your self to the readership about your internet business and also experience.

After you are done configuring your account, publish your article content. You should try making the Post title as interest grabbing as you possibly can while still using your keyword phrase. A few article directories will definitely have a review article time period. After the article content is reviewed tweet it to all your twitter followers! Also utilize ping.in to ping the article address to let the search engines discover it is there a bit sooner.

After that Repeat the Process.

Presently there are a few decent quality article content submitters available, 2 of which you can pick up from My Lead System Pro, which will make it possible for you to spin and rewrite the article properly as well as re-submit the article in a rewritten form to numerous different directories creating each article one of a kind while retaining the article integrity.

Every single article published to numerous web directories should end up being at a minimum 40 to 50percent unique. By making the articles unique, you have a better chance of more articles ranking on the first results page of Google.

The article submitters many of us make use of enable people to hand reword articles by incorporating synonyms. Be careful of less costly article spinners because they could make your article pointless by adding substitute terms and sentences that make no sense in the framework of the paragraph or sentence.

Employ your articles to create a connection with the reader. If you establish trust by way of creating quality articles that offers the viewer something of value to them, you will be seen as much more professional and valued in their opinion.

Generating Traffic To Your Website

Tips on Generating Traffic To Your Website.

Everyone struggles in the beginning with building a good amount of traffic to your website or blog.

It’s easy to get side tracked with all the latest and greatest traffic generator promotions dumping into your inbox. In this post I list several of the things that really work for me and my team to generate quality website and blog traffic.

To begin with you need to have your own hosted website or blog. Preferably you want a blog because google just loves blogs and they especially love blogs that have new unique content that is added on a regular basis. Your business self replicated website is really never going to get the kind of traffic you want without a website or blog pointing to it.

Although I have my own Hosting business for the last 10 years, for those viewing this post I recommend Hostgator for the cheapest solution with all of the features you need. They are not as awesome as my hosting company , but I know many of you need low cost options because you are just getting started.

To keep traffic coming to your blog you need to update it regularly and this is very easy to do with a blog. After you have added a new post targeting a specific keyword phrase, go to twitter and post a tweet about it and give a link directly to the post. Next go to Squidoo.com and create a Lens with your article and add a Clickable Link with Your Keyword as the Anchor
Text pointing to your new blog post url. Then go to twitter and tweet your Squidoo Lens URL.

Doing this with every new post you create will dramatically increase traffic to your website. This is part of a much larger strategy my team learns and will be covered eventually on this blog in it’s own post.

Next you should have a self funding Leads Funnel system. The system should allow you to create your own videos and have a step by step process for generating sign-ups to your primary business while offering tools to people who join your list that may already have a business to help them grow their business. The system I use is an all in one funded proposal system which makes me money even from people who don’t want to join my business. This is killer as it generates weekly paychecks I can reinvest into growing my business.

My Lead System Pro is one of the Top funded proposal systems out there and they have an incredible amount of trainings recorded and live, on every type of traffic generation technique you can imagine. The cost is $49.97 per month but the money that I earn just from the side proposals generally pay me back more in the first week after my renewal than the membership fee. Of course your results may not be the same depending on what you put into it.

You can try it out for a month at $29.95 and they offer a money back guarantee. They also have an option to have them configure the whole thing for you if you do not have time for the step by step process. This can get you up and running, generating leads faster. This system is definitely one you can not do without if you are serious about building your business and getting Traffic To Your Website.
