Forget the Phone Book: Make your Internet “listing” Shine With Good Web Site Design!

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

 

If you wanted a cult DVD you couldn’t find in stores, are you more likely to spend a few minutes searching the Internet to order it online or drive from store to store for hours, asking salespeople disappointed? If you needed a vet for your new kitten, are you more likely to type “Vets in [Your Area]” into a search engine and read about each veterinarian online or take your chances on a one-inch ad you found in a phone book?

The Pew Internet & American Life Project (www.pewinternet.org) has found that 41% of the 70 million Americans who log on each day say that the Internet has helped make shopping easier and 81% of them research a product or service online before they buy. An estimated 4 million Americans buy a product or service online each day.

If your company doesn’t have a Web site, chances are that your competitors do, and you automatically lose the “battle” over a myriad of potential customers. If you have a Web site that’s visually unappealing or difficult to navigate, people are going to leave your site behind and head over to an attractive, easy-to-use Web site that comes up above your listing in a search engine.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t or can’t do any business online, the Internet is a more extensive phone book. Attract customers to your door with a well-designed Web site with search engine optimization so that your Web site comes up in search engine requests near the first results page. Let your potential customers know what your company does, what you charge, and where you’re located. Share some positive customer reviews.

If you’re a small business, you might benefit from a simple three-page Web site design package, with free one-year Internet hosting and a domain name, thirty free days of Web site updates if you come up with some more ideas after a few days of being online, and a completely original professional Web site design.

If you run your business completely online, a well-designed Web site with an effortless online shopping system is especially important as the Internet is your one and only place of business. If you have a store location, think of how much more business you could do by going global and selling your products online, too!

 

How to Use Wordpress Marketing to Build a Chicken Coop!

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

 

A lot of people are marketing online nowadays and there are tons of different options when choosing a platform for promoting your products or services.

A really effective strategy that I have found is called WordPress Marketing. You can use it for promoting affiliate offers - for example building a chicken coop.

If you are not familiar with wordpress it is a FREE blog service that allows you to create your own website (blog) for free! You can your own domain name (wordpress.com/nameofyourblog) and anybody with an internet connection can view your page by visiting that web address.

Now, you are online! You can promote products as an affiliate OR you can promote your own products or services from there too. Another popular thing people do when marketing online using a wordpress blog, is to write about something that is very popular at the moment (or always) and get traffic to your site that way. Then, you can place ads on your site for Google or Yahoo (also FREE) and YOU GET PAID anytime someone just clicks on one of the ads on your site!
This is a very popular way of making money online.

What else is WordPress Marketing good for?

Yet another awesome technique for making money with your blog is to build your opt-in list of email subscribers by giving away something of value for FREE right from your blog, in exchange for the email address of your reader. It may in form of e-Books, e-Courses, software or a short report. You would not believe that most people will exchange their email address with these free stuffs. If it is useful for them, they will be your loyalty customer in the future easily.

You can sign up for an auto-responder service for less than $20 a month and easily set up the email address capture form where the customer must enter their first name and email address in order to receive the free download (a short, informative report that you write on the same topic as your blog or promotion).

If you do not want to pay for monthly cost, you can try some free auto-responder services. But it would be a better idea to invest on the paid auto-responder service as it will provides a much more stability and durability.
Once you harvest their email addresses you can promote (legally!) products and/or services to them via email and then you can make some serious money!

If you want to make more money, just create your own product and promote them. If you do not want to create your own product, you may finding some affiliate products to promote. That is Wordpress marketing in a nutshell!
