By using an extension and Google Chrome browser you can do this very easily.

Ok I only found this a few weeks ago but if you want to create a Free SMS program for your clients and get referrals galore try this one.

The way you monetize this is to offer to write the adds for them.

Over the last month or two, I’ve perfected a marketing strategy to go into local businesses (restaurants are particularly appreciative) and share with them a way to do free text messaging to their customers.

That’s right, I said they NEVER pay for text messages!

It’s basically a way for you to get to know them and their needs better.

You’ll create enormous goodwill in the process.

In other words, YOU’LL BE THEIR HERO!

Why should small business owners pay 5 cents to 14 cents per text message to send their special offers and deals?

It adds up fast!

Even http://www.twilio.com costs a penny a piece which doesn’t sound like much at first, but those penny’s can really add up!

I’ve done this with about three dozen businesses so far and it’s a true breakthrough for them.

They can’t wait to try it.

So, how can any business owner send unlimited text messages for absolutely no charge?

To do it, we’re going to route our messages through our friend, Twitter.

—-

1. Go to Twitter and create an account for your prospect’s business but with the word “deal”, “coupon” or “offers” in the Twitter name.

(The idea is to make the name easy to remember.)

Let’s say the prospect’s business is a restaurant named “Kim’s Koffee”, your Twitter name could be KoffeeDeals.

2. Then the business owner advertises her text message service”

The call-to-action can be something like:

Text “Follow KoffeeDeals” to 40404 for VIP specials, offers and discounts.

Then each time the business owner tweets a deal under the KoffeeDeals Twitter account, their customers will receive it via a text message.

Pretty cool, uh? Try it for yourself.

3. BONUS: When customers text “Follow KoffeeDeals ” to 40404, they will not only receive future deals, they also receive the LAST TWEET that was previously sent.

4. Get this: Customers do not have to have a Twitter account in order to receive these text messages, they just have to text “follow (username)” to 40404 and they will be subscribed.

5. The particular Twitter account you set-up for your prospect or customer is JUST for text message offers. It does not replace their regular Twitter account. And with this special account, they shouldn’t send out more than 1-2 offers per week.

——————-

Go ahead and try it. Share the tool with your prospeects and current customers. They’ll thank you and then you can upsell them something that makes you some money.

PS: For those who need to know more, here’s Twitter’s take on the service:

Marketing Mobile Websites is the same as any other marketing strategy with a few minor differences.

Lots of people ask where I get my marketing information from which has enabled me to sell a lot of products and services over the past 13 years online and off.

Whether online, offline or marketing mobile websites, the basic principles are all the same.

As Internet Marketers we tend to box and tag everything however marketing is all about applying some basic principles which can be learnt and applied very simply

Offline marketing, mobile marketing, Internet marketing and all the other tags do not mean there is a whole different set of rules for each one.

Marketing products and services is all about providing information, the benefits and whats in it for the customer.

Convey these properly and you can have a very successful business.

Things like QR Codes coupons etc are simply tools to enhance the process.

There are millions of people who use them so do not leave one process out because it may not be as popular as others.

I also find that most IM people tend to follow what is presented nicely by other IM people and yet much of the information is of poor quality and usually has some underlying reason such as upsell etc.

learning marketing your mobile websites successfully can be learned from other more reliable sources.

Marketing Mobile Websites

Doing training through resources that have no underlying agenda and more in the main stream will equip you much better.

If you go and search in Google “free online university college marketing courses” you will find lots of colleges and universities provide lecture notes and videos which are a lot higher quality and have no hidden agenda.

A few samples

MIT: Universities with the Best Free Online Courses

Diploma Guide : Online Business Marketing Courses Offered Free by Top Colleges and Universities

Another great place is local government and council websites which provide training for local businesses.

Do some of these courses and apply to your business and you will find it a lot more rewarding plus you wont get spammed with all the additional offers which can dilute your focus.

Lastly things like TED and other business groups can also provide a wide range of insight

Granted there are Millions if not Billions of Apps downloaded…

According to Pinch Media only one percent of people who download an app become a long term user

(Pinch specializes in tracking App Usage for Developers)

Other statistics show 80% of downloaded Apps are used only once…

Shoes.com, the largest online shoe retailer released their Mobile Apps and their Mobile Website about the same time…

One year later they took a look at where their mobile sales were coming from and found 80% on their Mobile Sales came not from their Apps but from their Mobile Website. (And their Apps were several times more expensive to develop)

I often have clients ask about Apps and I tend to talk them out of it not only because of development cost, but because of cross platform compatibility.

How to design a mobile website Part 1

The first part of designing a mobile site is to look at the current desktop website and gather any relevant information such as location, contact details, main concepts and finally content.

How to design a mobile website Part 2

The second part to design a mobile website is structure which is like a template.

The navigation needs to be simple and bold so fingers can use the touch screen to get around the site. It is best to use icons or clear linking structure.

It’s called Help A Reporter Out (HARO – Help a Reporter Out ™) or HARO for short.

Basically it is an e-mail list that goes out 3 times a day to connect reporters who are looking for help with a story to sources who can help the reporter out.

You get a brief description of what the reporter is looking for and if it relates to your business in anyway, you can respond as an expert and get quoted in their article.

If you end up getting quoted in the article, you can post it on your website, Facebook, Twitter, etc… to help give you credibility when potential clients are looking into working with you.

Even better, if you have clients who could provide advice to a reporter seeking help, you can help connect your clients with the reporter.

Your clients will absolutely LOVE you for this and it will further deepen your relationship to be able to sell them on other services in the future.

here’s a few more sites that allow experts and journalists to connect:

Google Offers are deals on products and services at local or online businesses. Whenever you buy or save a Google Offer, it automatically syncs to your Google Wallet so your offers are always with you.

At most stores, simply show your offer to the cashier at check out. The cashier will either scan the offer’s barcode or manually type it in.

Google Offers looks and operates much like Groupon or LivingSocial.

Users receive an e-mail with a local deal of the day. They then have the opportunity to buy that deal within a specific time limit (we assume 24 hours). Once enough people have made the purchase, the Google Offer is triggered and users get that all-too-familiar $10 for $20 deal for that Indian restaurant they’ve never tried.

From what we can tell, Google Offers will be powered by Google Checkout.

It also includes Facebook, Twitter, Google Reader, Google Buzz and e-mail sharing options.

Google is actively reaching out to businesses now to get them on board with Offers. It even apparently has a writing team in place to craft the write-up for offers.

Google famously tried to buy Groupon for $6 billion just a few months ago in order to bolster its local advertising business. Groupon rejected the offer though and is instead preparing for a $15 billion IPO.

The search giant clearly isn’t giving this market up without a fight, though. With its vast reach, huge resources and brand recognition, it could prove to be a powerful player in the space. We’re going to be watching these developments closely. We’ve reached out to Google for comment.

Of course you can use this for your mobile business as it grows and also add coupons for your own customers on their customized mobile website.

You can link to these on your customers mobile website as they are mobile friendly.

This is according to Clickz

As the findings of a new survey conducted by Borrell Associates reveals, 83% of respondents either plan to invest or already have invested a portion of their yearly marketing budget into the mobile channel.

A majority of respondents admit that mobile marketing now captures at least 20% of their total marketing budget for the year.

“It’s fascinating the way this is evolving, and that small businesses are getting on board so quickly with mobile,” Kip Cassino, author of the report, tells ClickZ. “Historically the small guys wait until the technology gets cheaper and the roadmap is a little more clear; that’s how it was with online. These guys aren’t waiting. They’re plunging in, and for the most part they’re doing so without many metrics.”

The emergent popularity of “daily deals” is seen as a powerful if not primary source of inspiration behind the small business community’s escalating investment into mobile marketing and its myriad tools.
