Bill Reid's Internet Marketing Tips by BLM Traders

Make Money Online by Writing:

2010-10-01T18:33:00.001-05:00

Writing articles and posting your articles online is one of the most powerful ways to promote your business opportunity in today's market. There are many different styles of writing that can be very effective, and your writings must be done on a regular and consistent basis if you want to survive online. It has been proven that well written content will get your message to the internet masses whether your content appears in a web site, blog, forum or some other form of media that can promote what you have to offer.

Words can be extremely powerful in promoting a product or service. Straying from your subject matter even a little bit can be devastating to your overall effectiveness and online success. When writing you must keep your approach focused on the subject you select to write about and stick with the subject rather than rambling. Nothing will turn a reader off quicker than your writings straying off your topic.

It's a good practice to make a brief outline of your subject matter so you won't spend a lot of time on content that offers nothing relevant to your subject matter. Whether your words are spoken or written, your words can be compelling and can persuade individuals to take that positive action and purchase your product or service. Words can be interrupted by the reader in many different ways. Hopefully a positive outcome will develop so you can follow through with your thoughts and close the sale.

The title of your article should include two or three keywords or phrases so the reader can get an idea of what your article is all about. Many times this is referred to as the headline of the article. If you fail to grab the attention of the reader in the title, many of your readers won't look any further at your information. Your title should be catchy but not cute so the reader will continue to read what you have to say about your opportunity.

If you're like most readers they will scan read your page rather quickly: If you haven't caught their attention by then, you have probably lost that potential client and they will quickly move to the next site and do the same process all over again. Normally you only have one chance to capture the reader's attention. You must take full advantage of that chance if you want to succeed online.

Keep your headline as short as possible and still get your point across. Never use a general title unless a one word title explains what you're trying to convey to the user. A good example would be the term "Leads". This particular word is a general term, however, any online marketer will relate to the word because of the importance of "leads" to the success of their business.

Your title must be very clear, concise and deliver a specific message. Once you have compiled your article and reviewed it for content, spelling and structure, you will find a number of suitable titles for your writing. I always like to write my articles about a specific topic but never title the article until I have completed my writings. This makes it easier to find a suitable, relevant title to whatever my articles final outcome may have evolved into.

Once you've noted several different titles that can be used for your writing, then you can make a choice of which one best describes your overall content of your article. A good example here would be if you were writing about blogging, you could use the title of "Writing Blogs is Fun" may be a general title that has no meaning to the individual who is interested in blogging for promoting his or her business. A title of "Blogging to Promote Your Business Opportunity" may be more appropriate. Use your imagination a little here, and soon your writing will evolve into a powerful medium of communication.

As you progress in your writing and blogging skills you will find it much easier each time you write, to come up with an effective title. Practice makes perfect in this particular case. The more you write the better you will be at writing. You will find there is a particular segment of readers that will relate to your writings and will make it a point to subscribe to your RSS feeds so they can keep up with your writings because they like your style. You will create a following of avid, loyal readers that one day may become your next best customers.

Just remember, your headline is what is going to get the attention of the reader in almost every case. Make the headline catchy, write good relevant content in the body of your article and consistently write and blog in an effort to hone your skills in writing until writing becomes a second nature to your everyday activity.

In Summary: Create a powerful headline that will grab the reader's attention to your articles. Take some time, a little effort and a dash of creativity and come up with the very best title you can think of. Continue to practice to hone your writing skills and you're on your way to establishing a following of regular readers that will eventually recognize you as their authority on a given subject.

How Being an Optimist or Pessimist Affects Your Life!

2010-09-26T17:54:00.001-05:00

Everyone is faced with decisions every day of our lives. Life is filled with change, and choices that we all must face. Depending on the circumstances surrounding an event your choice will probably be much different than just talking to someone, and telling them your story and then listening to their answers. Anyone you've explained your situation to, will look at the issue at hand and make recommendations from a totally different point of view than you will. It's all a matter of perspective based on information and facts available.

You can look at any issue you face, from many different perspectives. A good example of this is the view of the pessimist who views his life as a total loss and lives in his own world of self-defeat. The optimist looks at the situation totally different and see's every experience in his or her life as a stepping stone and the issue at hand as one more challenge in life's journey.

Why should we make the right choice here? Because every decision you make in life will affect your future in only two ways: either good or bad. Pessimistic attitudes are contagious and someone who is a pessimistic will drag everyone around them down, whether it's in their personal life, academic, occupational or political and a negative attitude will affect everyone they come in contact with. Having a bad attitude can even have a devastating effect on your physical and social well being.

Success with your online business will definitely be affected by your attitude. Of course being optimistic about where you want to take your site with the search engines is imperative if you want to experience Top Positions on Google and other fine search engines.

You must maintain a very optimistic attitude and believe that all the bad things you've heard about online marketing will not happen to you, and your every movement must be laser focused on becoming a success on the internet. You may not become one of the next dot com millionaires that we've all heard about, however, you can become very successful in your online efforts if you maintain a good attitude and work hard to make it all happen.

Whether you're a pessimist or an optimist, you'll be faced with choices that will require a decision to be rendered. This will be true with every aspect of your life. Remember it's a matter of perception. Is the glass half empty or is the glass half full. Your positive attitude will always make any challenge you face in life to be more acceptable and your end result will always be better for you and the ones you love. You may encounter defeat every once in a while during your lifetime, however, defeat is only temporary and will soon pass as soon as you analyze your alternatives, and make the right choices to the issue at hand.

The positive expectations of an optimist are evident by their attitude after a terrible fall. They get up, brush themselves off and continue with their journey to a successful outcome and consider the fall as just a mere bump in the road to achieving their goals. The optimist will always see opportunities in their life, rather than seeing any challenges as insurmountable. Your loved ones and those who you associate with will also be affected. Those around you who share a positive attitude will always gravitate to the positive surroundings generated by an optimistic individual. This is one area of your life that "opposites attract" does not apply to.

Optimistic attitudes in one's life will severely affect your business success as well. Have you ever heard of a successful Search Engine Optimization Specialist who was not optimistic by nature? Absolutely not! You will never hear of someone who is successful be considered as anything but optimistic in everything they do. I think Butch Hamilton the SEO Master said it best when he said "you are what you're thinking right now." If you think you can accomplish a goal, then the chances are excellent that you will do it and be successful. If you think you can't, then it probably won't happen for you.

People will respond positively to optimists because they are proactive and less dependent on others for their success and happiness. Those who are true optimist are normally accepted by people around them rather quickly, while than those who are always touting the philosophy of doom and gloom, panic and hysteria are treated totally different. When the going gets tough, the optimists get tougher and downright tenacious.

Some professionals say that "Optimists normally live longer, enjoy a healthier lifestyle and with their positive attitude records show that there is a measurable increase in the body's ability to fight off common colds, flu, and disease that others seem to attract." It has also been stated that an optimist will age better as well, as a result of having a good outlook on life in general.

Enjoy the benefits of a positive attitude which will make your daily online chores and duties more pleasurable, not only for yourself but also for those around you. If you think you can, you can, if you think you can't, you won't!

Blogging – Is An Excellent Way to Promote Your Business!

2010-09-23T19:03:00.001-05:00

If you're just getting started in the online marketing game and don't know where to begin, then today's article may help you set some boundaries and perimeters in your new venture. Many of us have been in some form of sales for years and any good salesperson will share some features and benefits and then go for the close rather quickly. We've all been taught this approach right from the beginning of our selling career out in the business to business world.

Marketing on the internet is quite different and unless you take the time to learn the correct process of approaching potential clients, then probably we will be shot out of the saddle before we ever get started.

One of the hardest things to change will be the transition from our old embedded habits of trying to sell right from the beginning, and replace that old approach with quality relevant information to the potential client without trying to make the sale. The internet is all about good quality, relevant information covering any particular subject matter.

It takes an average of 7 contacts with an online user before they will make that all important decision to make the purchase with you or just click off your opportunity, and go away to another website on the internet. Once their gone, they are probably gone forever. One chance will probably be all you get, so make the best of it.

One sure fire method of getting and keeping the potential clients attention, is to blog on a consistent time frame basis about your business opportunity in a very low key information blog. Your blogs don't have to be long and boring, but they do have to be interesting, informative and capture the potential clients attention and hold their attention so they will come back often just to see what new information you provided today.

In an effort to provide new content for your blogs you will have to study your product or service and be as familiar with your opportunity as you are with the back of your hand. Research information by other authors and use some of their ideas in the overall scope of your articles final draft.

Never copy someone else's content and attempt to get away with it without giving the author credit for their quote in quotation marks. Include the author's name, title of the article and any other credits deserved in order to keep your reputation unquestionably clean and legal.

Review any notes you may have taken, make an outline of your thoughts that you've gathered while reading and researching other writings and start writing about that subject in your own words. You'll be amazed at how in depth your thought process can become when utilizing this method of learning to write. Write from the heart, write as you talk and write often to become a recognized author.

If you haven't started to blog yet, go ahead and give it a try. Blog about anything that comes to mind and then find a blog that you can post it to. Who knows you might be the next great information blogger to hit the internet. If you're into Network Marketing then write about how great it is to find value in your new found business opportunity.

When it comes to marketing your product or service, make sure you only promote one product or service per website. This will make it easier for your prospective clients to find you with the use of good relevant keywords about your product or service. In each site your goal is to write good relevant content to help people understand your business and purchase your opportunity.

Your content must be concise, informative, entertaining and written in such a way as to capture the attention of the user. But, there's more to it than just capturing the user's attention you must keep their attention to a point that the user will end up making a choice to either purchase your opportunity or click off your site and go somewhere else.

Don't get discouraged if everyone doesn't purchase your offering. Each person will have a different closing ratio even though they may be presenting the same product or service. The timing must be right for the sale to be made even though you may be the best salesperson in the world you're not going to close every sale on the internet.

People like to shop and compare value when it comes to internet purchases. By offering solutions to the users problems will get you closer, quicker than trying to use some of the common high pressure tactics we were taught and used in direct sales in the past.

People will respond if you can help them save money, make money, market their business opportunity more profitable, generate sales leads and introduce them to ways to free up some of their precious time using automated marketing systems that are affordable and effective.

It all boils down to helping people solve problems and fill their personal goals and needs, plus give them better value than the competition can provide.

So let's think about how blogging can help you overcome your blogging challenges. In this article did you picked up on the various articles you could write about your business? Think about the opportunities that it affords and the value you could write about that would help a potential client in their business or purchase commitment?

Procrastination - The Silent Killer!

2010-09-19T19:30:00.001-05:00

We're talking about a situation here that affects most people in our society and has devastated many individuals future. We are talking about procrastination and how it affects our society in general. It is estimated that over 95% of people today are guilty of procrastination and over 20% of those individuals are guilty of habitual and chronic symptoms.

According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Procrastination may result in stress, a sense of guilt and crisis, severe loss of personal productivity, as well as social disapproval for not meeting responsibilities or commitments. These feelings combined may promote further procrastination. While it is regarded as normal for people to procrastinate to some degree, it becomes a problem when it impedes normal functioning in ones life.

None of us want to admit that the procrastination in our situation is as serious as a psychological disorder; however, the end result of procrastination will always be the same. Procrastination has killed more good ideas and deals than anyone could possibly count. We all know that a choice has to be made and we keep putting it off just a little while longer. It may be something rather simple yet we all have that inner feeling that keeps telling us all the reasons why we should keep putting off that all important commitment to get the job done. As one author put it so eloquently "the worry is worse than the work", and yet we just can't draw ourselves to quite….get….started.

Procrastination appears to be just part of our human nature that we all possess. However, once that procrastination becomes a chronic situation in our lives, then the damage of not making a choice becomes a major factor in our lives. It will have a devastating effect on every aspect of our lives such as relationships, work challenges, finances and especially on our mental abilities to cope. Soon we will start doubting ourselves and this situation will escalate into more and more challenges in our lives that will occur as a result of our minds being trained to put it off till later.

Many times procrastination will evolve into destructive behavior. Drug addiction, alcohol dependency and gambling are some of the situations that many individuals procrastinate about. They are definitely concerned about this devastating situation, however, they won't make the choice right now to do anything about it. They all say "I'm going to do something about it tomorrow." Self destruction is the end result of many of these unfortunate situations.

There are many contributing factors that regulate any "putting it off" situation. Sometimes it's a chemical imbalance in the human genetics that triggers such behavior. Sometimes the cause for procrastination may be caused by anxiety, and there are some mixed opinions on this subject by the professionals. Sometimes it's just plan laziness which may be the true cause. Whatever the cause, each individual who is suffering from this problem must take back control of their lives before anything will ever change. Sometimes the only solution to resolve this situation is to seek help from a medical professional who is an expert in this type of problems. Sometimes the only solution is to turn to God our maker and trust in that higher power.

Some procrastinate simply because they consider themselves as perfectionist and if they can't do it right they will do nothing at all. I realize there may be some individuals that may legitimately fit into this scenario; however, many have used this excuse merely to do nothing. They procrastinate about doing something about their procrastination problems. Regardless of how much help your loved ones or those around you try to help in this dilemma the end result is totally up to that individual who is procrastinating to resolve a bad situation.

This brings us to the point of how procrastination affects us in our business lives. The same examples we've talked about above will definitely have an impact on our business lives and the success and failure of every business and is a direct result of a choice that was made at some time in the past. At that point and time a choice had to be made for the betterment of the business. Had the owner of the company had hesitated and procrastinated in making a choice, you can bet the outcome would have been totally different. On the other side of the coin some who procrastinated will never truly know how that choice that they postponed to a later time affected the outcome of their future and their families.

One of the main issues here is with defining procrastination in each of our lives. There are some things that we naturally must put off due to some extenuating circumstances. This is to be expected because each of us must face challenges as they develop and make choices based on the information at hand at the time the issues evolved. It is up to each of us to make an informed choice on everything we do. If each of us hasn't taken the time to research the alternatives to a particular problem, we have no one to blame for our failure but ourselves.

One of the most effective ways to help us make those all important choices is to set some perimeters on whatever the issue at hand may be. Prioritize what is important and what may have little significance on the outcome the immediate situation. This small step can become a major stepping stone to our successful outcome regarding any problem.

Distractions can be a major problem for many people who suffer with procrastination. With all the modern toys that we all have access to can really be a detriment to any kind of cure for the devastating problem of procrastination.

We have the options to play games on the computer, watch movies all day or go shopping, which are perfectly legal things to do, however, each of us must gain control of our destiny if we want to quit putting off today what we can do tomorrow. Statistics show that over 50% of all heart attack patients don't manage their lifestyle changes even though their Doctors gave them the choices of modifying their daily activities which could add years to their life. Procrastination is a killer not only to our personal experiences but to our businesses as well.

The solution to overcoming the problems associated with procrastination is to understand and define that there is indeed a problem. Make a detailed schedule of what is important for you and needs to be done right now. Don't put it off till tomorrow or next week, do it right now. Make a concerted effort to follow that schedule and fulfill each and every detail as soon as possible. Mark each chore off your list as soon as it's completed and go to the next item on your list. Suddenly you will find that each and every item you put on your schedule has been accomplished long before you thought it was possible. Then repeat the process again the first thing in the morning. Set down and make your list and do it all over again. By doing this on a regular basis you are changing a pattern that you've been used to and developing a new habit of getting the job done. Now you're getting over the procrastination that we've been talking about in the article. Congratulations!

Is Owning an Article Directory Right For You?

2010-09-13T17:11:00.001-05:00

The popular phrase "the internet is the information highway" is so well stated. It is in fact stuffed with information about any subject matter you can think of. You will see pro's and con's on the subject and everything in between. How does all of this information happen anyway? To put it very simply, people like you and I write their opinion about a particular subject and post it up on the internet and immediately more information has been added to this huge library of information called the internet.

There are all kind of people from every walk of life who use the internet for their method of studying information about a subject, playing games, gambling, keeping in touch with friends, loved ones and so much more.

Over the last decade, the individuals who use the internet have changed as well as the search engine that provides the information to the user when a search query is made by a user on this marvelous ever evolving invention called the internet. More and more businesses are realizing the importance of optimizing their websites to gain more recognition by the search engines so when these queries do occur that the search engines can provide the most up to day, relevant information available.

Many of the owners of the high page ranking sites with the search engines are using article marketing as their primary thrust for gaining those highly coveted page ranking positions. Some of these businesses are devoting entire websites just for publishing articles. There is a definite reason for entire website to be devoted to article marketing and that's because of the powerful effects it brings to their website with the search engines.

Has your marketing specialist or consultant ever told you about this remarkable function that can draw massive back links to your web site? Probably not! They want to keep this a secret so they can capitalize on the massive traffic they will generate if you hire them to do your promoting.

Has you specialist or consultant told you about how powerful it would be for your web site if you added an article directory to your current website as a third level domain? Probably Not! If you are sick and tired of being left in the dust on the internet, then do something about it. Talk with the professionals at BLM Traders and see if you qualify for your own article directory.

One huge advantage of owning your own directory is that other well known authors on the internet who may not even own a website, they just love to write and post their writing anywhere they can. They are constantly looking for places to post their articles on a regular basis and many of them make a good living by ghost writing as well, for people who don't like to write, or maybe just don't have the time to write on a regular basis.

Many of these writers are accomplished authors and when they post to your article directory you have developed another avenue to take it one step further and generate some additional back links. How does this all happen? When someone comes to your directory to download an article on a particular subject your directory link must stay on the download. This article is then published in someone's web site, forum or another directory and your link must stay on the download regardless of how many people download in this chain of events. This soon becomes a viral linking system at its finest.

When a person downloads from your directory, you have no clue where that article is going to end up. It really doesn't matter because you are getting your links spread all over the World Wide Web.

If you are the one who writes the article then your name as the author, your business opportunity and your links will appear in the resource box at the end of your writings. You can gain a huge following of avid readers following your writings if you do it correctly. People who find your information in the resource box will find your 2-3 links to you business opportunity and hopefully they will go and visit your site and make a purchase of your product or service.

The resource box is normally limited to about 300 characters which will give you enough room to post your contact information for the public to see. Make the bio box attractive, informative and accurate. Place a couple of your keywords or keyword phrases in this area letting the user know what you're trying to marketing whether it's a product or a service. Services are sometimes harder to market on line than a tangible product. With proper optimization of your website by your optimization specialist either one of these commodities can successfully be accomplished. The whole purpose of the bio box is to drive traffic to your business opportunity. More traffic to your site = more sales = more profits.

Make sure your information in the resource box (or the bio box) is totally accurate and is relevant to what your writing are all about. If a user feels that you are less than honest about your information, nothing turns a potential client off quicker than if they feel you're trying to bait and switch. You only get once chance here with most of your readers, so use your space effectively.

Optimizing your Articles and Websites!

2010-09-10T17:46:00.001-05:00

Every search engine optimization specialist seems to have a different take of how you should go about the all important task of optimization of your website. Today we want to talk about some of the basics that has been tried and proven to be extremely effective in every marketing campaign.

Some of these experts even say that an ezine article will normally take 6-7 days for your article to be approved so you should submit your articles on a Thursday or Friday. I don't think it makes a difference because I normally will publish an article every day or two if at all possible. Whenever the publisher gets around to accepting my article is OK because I have another article coming right behind it. If you're just getting started in this process, don't get bogged down with the time frame discussed above. Concentrate on the basics which we will cover in greater detail in a just a moment.

Optimizing the Title of your Article or Website, Meta Tags Description and your Keywords are the main ingredients you should focus on. You must spend a lot of time on researching keywords and must devote a lot of research into finding the right keywords for your marketing campaigns. Many times I will spend more time on my keyword research than I will spend on the construction of the entire website or article. The keywords that the users queries in the search area of the search engines is what the search engines match to your keywords and then publishes the final display of recommended sites for that particular query. It's all based on relevant keywords and keyword phrases.

When you're researching for the right keywords and phrases to use in your articles or content of your website, you should try to put yourself in the users shoes for a moment and think of what you would type in the search area if you had an interest in your product you're about to offer. Ask your friends and loved ones to help you in this process. All you have to do is ask them to think of what terms they would put in the search box of their favorite search engine if they were interested in your widget you're trying to market on line. They can give you some really good feedback and suggestions.

You might even look at some articles in some of the article directories you're familiar with and see what keywords that others have used when writing about your opportunities category. Then you might consider some variations on those keywords and keyword phrases. If you're selling a product there's nothing wrong with using information from your competition to establish which keywords will be best for your current marketing campaign. It is my opinion that a through keyword research is the foundation to a successful business venture.

We've discussed in some of our other writings about how important good relevant content is when writing copy for your website, writing an article, blog or forum. With any of the search engines, content is King and is vital if you want to earn "Top Positions on Google" and other fine search engines. What you say and how you say it is important and you must keep that point in the fore front of your mind whenever you're writing.

When you've completed your writing now comes the fun part of posting your writing on the internet. There are many methods of posting your article for people to see on line. One of my favorite ways is to publish to article directories including my own personal directory. You might want to consider owning your own article directory as well. Contact the eBiz Solutions Team at the contact information below to see if you qualify.

Make sure you post in the correct category for maximum exposure with the users and the search engines. Again you might want to use your competition and see where they have posted their information. This will help you choose the category that may best fit you particular needs. If you have the option to post your writings in more than one category or sub category then use that feature to your advantage.

One of the main things to remember here is to use your resource box correctly by keeping your bio description of yourself and company to about 300 characters. Try not to use more than three of your best keywords or phrases in this part of your writing. Make sure you hyperlink those three keywords and point them to your business opportunity.

If you need more information about how this process can work for you, feel free to give us a call.

Be Passionate about your Writings!

2010-09-07T13:39:00.001-05:00

Most successful marketers will tell you that article marketing is probably one of the most overlooked venues of promoting your opportunity and could well be the most powerful affordable method of marketing online today. Then the question arises; "why aren't more people using this phenomenal marketing tool to promote their business opportunities?" The reason is clear and simple, most people don't know how to market correctly and no one has taken the time and effort to share this powerful method of marketing with them.

Most people I talk to say "I don't know how to write" and this may be a legitimate argument and why most people avoid writing altogether, but how do you know you can't write if you've never tried? As we've pointed out in some of our other writings, you learn to write by writing. The fact that the search engines put such a great emphasis on fresh new content, it's imperative that you learn to write early on in your marketing career. Write from the heart on a subject you know and are passionate about and see how your article turns out. Send me a copy and let me help you tweak the article and maybe even publish it for you in my personal article directory.

Writing articles may well be the easiest method ever conceived on how to build a viral marketing dynasty that will endure for many years to come. Writing is a powerful marketing tool that you and only you can control every aspect of its future as well as your online success.

When training people to market online it has been my experience that every individual who said "they can't write" has become an excellent, unique writer and many of these individuals now have their own blogs, forums and publish to multiple article directories every day. Some have even gone so far as to build their own personal article directory with many well known authors enrolling into their site as a contributing writer submitting their professional writings into my students directories. Talk about powerful marketing results!

Some people have a natural ability and write better than others. Some golfers are better at playing golf than I may ever be, but I still like to go out to the links every now and again and make a total fool of myself compared to the pro's that I watch on TV, but I don't care because I'm having fun.

The same is true with writing. The more you write the better you will become at writing. There is always someone who is looking for information that you will relate to and they will look forward to more information that your writings provides because you presented your thoughts in a way that they can totally relate to.

Let's talk for a moment about exactly what an article is and maybe this will help all of us to see the importance of writing articles. First of all an article is nothing more than information on any given subject from a different personal prospective. This can be anything from a basic concept to a very detailed technical description of something that is so complex the average person doesn't have a clue of what you're talking about.

I personally don't like the techie stuff, so I share my information on a very down to earth level that even my grandkids can relate to and many times they will share with me some of the most recent trends and lingo that will help me in my writings. This is an ongoing learning process that will never end. Learning is forever. Writing should be informative and entertaining for your readers.

I wasn't born with any special talents when it come to writing, in fact writing essays in high school and college was actually a major chore for me to do. Only after I got into online marketing did I realize that learning to write was one of the most important steps to this whole marketing process. The internet is all about information and the search engines place an incredible amount of weight on content in your website, blogs, forums, articles and other areas of correspondence including e-mails. So learn to enjoy the process of writing and experience the rewards that writings will give you in your "quest for success" online.

If you enjoy talking to people, then writing could well become a natural ability that you need to develop. One suggestion would be to write exactly as you talk …. Don't worry about using a bunch of high fluting words that no one understands what they mean anyway. Think of a subject and set down and start writing about how you feel about any issue, and be sincere about what you're thinking about and put those thoughts into writing. Once you've got the basic format written then go back and tweak your comments to a legible format and publish your writing online. You will be amazed how many people will read your writing and if you have a comment section in your article format then you'll be surprised at how many people will give you a good review just for your honest opinions.

On your first couple of articles you may want to write about something that you are totally passionate about. For example: If you're a gardener and have some helpful hints that will make someone else's gardening experience more memorable, then write about it and share your secrets with other gardening enthusiast.

You may want to write about helpful hints that will make your cleaning chores around the house easier and more sanitary. There have been some writers who have become extremely wealthy by writing and sharing helpful hints about natural cleaning aids. Don't try to prejudge what will work and won't work, just jump in with both feet and try your hand at writing. You'll soon learn how much fun and maybe even how profitable your knowledge really is. If you don't know how to write or maybe want some help in learning how to write more effectively, there are people who are more than willing to help you learn the art and science of writing.

Writing and publishing your articles will help people find your website explaining your business opportunity. More readers to your site …. means more potential clients …. which will result in more sales. Making money online is what the process writing and marketing is all about.

Writing Good Copy to Promote Your Business!

2010-09-02T14:11:00.001-05:00

The internet is all about providing information to users on about any subject you can think of. The internet is often referred to as the information highway. There are all kinds of individuals, groups, clubs and business who are now experiencing the values of the internet. Each of these entities have different needs and goals that they are trying to fulfill, however, they are all interested in obtaining information from this remarkable invention called the internet.

Playing games online has become an addiction for many teenagers and some of the older generation attempt to make a living by gambling online. Steer clear of online gambling unless you have lots of money to burn. Gambling online may be interesting, fun and an easy way to kill time but it can also drain your back account rather quickly.

Online marketing has become an important element for many businesses both large and small and their online presence has been credited with some substantial bottom line profits many of those companies have never experienced before. Online marking has been growing in popularity every day with various segments of our society. There are numerous methods of promoting your online business and without some form of aggressive promoting your online business may never get off the ground.

With the downturn in our economy, higher unemployment and a lack of leadership by our elected officials the situation seems to be getting worse rather than better for more and more individuals. This dilemma in our society has forced many to search the internet for some kind of a workable solution to make additional income to fill their financial void. Many have gone even further and taken the big step of starting their own online business. This kind of ingenuity has made our country what it is today.

One of the big problems here is …. most of those individuals who are entering the online business segment of our economy don't understand how to promote an online business correctly. They don't understand there are two different segments they must please in order to be successful.

One of these entities would the users who visit the internet, searching for answers to specific questions. Your site must be pleasing in the eyes of the users and many people will make their choice to participate in your opportunity strictly by what they observe and not necessarily as a result of the content of your site. The other important segment you must be concerned about is the search engines. The search engines thrive on content, how your site is optimized in your source code and the relevance of your site information in regard to the keywords you're promoting. This is an ongoing process that must be learned and implemented into your everyday marketing activities if you want to be an online success.

Since there are numerous methods of promoting your business opportunity, I think it's necessary that we discuss briefly what some of the most powerful tactics you can incorporate into your marketing endeavors. One of the most powerful methods of promoting an opportunity is to learn to write blogs, forums, articles and good copy for your website.

Whether you're writing copy for your website, writing for blogs and forums or just sending out emails introducing your opportunity, the need for good copy must always be your top priority. Since you can't talk to people face to face and let your personality overcome any shortcomings in your presentation it's imperative that you learn to write a compelling, descriptive explanation that's acceptable to the general public and motivate them to make a choice of buying your product. Writing is the only option you have to close sales when marketing online.

Writing articles and publishing to directories is an excellent way to get your message out to the internet masses. Not only is this a good way to keep the user informed, but is a super way to build some powerful links and back links promoting your opportunity. With this method of promotion you can add links in the bio section found at the bottom of your writing pointing the user to your primary business. With a click of the mouse your user has the all important option to read further or click off you site and go to the next opportunity. If your copy is well written you have an excellent chance to capture the reader's attention and they will end up going to your site and reading the other good content you've written for your site.

By placing your links in the bio resource box at the end of your article you have about 300 characters to explain who you are and the links you want your reader to follow for more information about your business opportunity. Just like the content of your writing, you must make your information in the resource box interesting, non-threatening, compelling and inviting to the reader.

The purpose of the resource box is simple. The main objective of the resource box is to drive traffic to your website so the user who visits your site with the purpose of obtaining more information will eventually purchase your offering based on the content you've provided.

In Summary: If you're tired of promoting your business opportunity and getting no results, there's still hope. With the proper training you too can become an integral part of a successful online business. This process is an ongoing process that must be pursued with vigor and practiced often. Whether you feel you can write or not….you can. You learn to write by writing, and writing frequently. Information is what it's all about.

Blogging Your Way to Financial Freedom!

2010-08-30T19:02:00.001-05:00

When you write a blog, do you make sure the title of your blog is keyword specific? Is your subject matter captivating enough to get the reader's attention and compelling enough to make the reader to actually read the information you are trying to share? Most blogs literally fail because the author of that blog has lost their passion about sharing good relevant content in their writings.

With all the blogs that have evolved over the last couple of years it's imperative that you keep your edge when writing quality information on any given subject. This scenario applies for writing to please your reading audience as well as being pleasing to the search engines. There is nothing easy when you're trying to convey your information in the form of blogs and forums. Make it a habit to optimize your blog each time you write just as you would if you were writing building a website.

This begins by using a couple of relevant keywords in the title of your blog. Just throwing some words in your title won't work, you must be keyword specific. It's extremely important to name your blog correctly the first time because there are no second chances to change your title once you've uploaded you blog on the internet.

You may want to use your geographic area in your blog title especially if you're trying to target market a particular area of the country. An example might be if you were blogging about a particular breed of dog. You could say something like: AKC Border Collie Puppies in Chicago Area. This is keyword specific regarding the breed of the dogs, AKC certified and sired in the Chicago IL area. This is about as specific as you can get.

It's best to use common ordinary English when explaining your product or service. Avoid the technical terms that are often used. Most people don't understand what all that techie jargon is about anyway. In a blog you can create some links in the content of your blog pointing to your business opportunity. If you're writing an article for posting in an article directory you must keep those links for posting in your bio area of the post. If you don't understand the importance of these differences then you should probably find a marketing specialist, mentor and coach to explain these differences.

Let me explain one simple reason for understanding this concept. Linking properly adds link value to your blog and website and if done correctly will help your page rankings with the search engines. Since the search engines love links and back links, you will see some rapid movements in your site positions changing by understanding how linking works. Make sure your blogs allows your links to be followed so they will be counted by the search engines.

Blogging can be a real complement to your website when you're promoting your business opportunity. Blogging is not a substitute when marketing but can and should work together effectively in all your marketing endeavors.

If you're a bit computer challenged it would behoove you to learn some HTML code. You don't need to become a master at building websites with all the flash and goodies, however, having a working knowledge of HTML code will make it easier for you to make some necessary changes to your source code without having to spend some high dollars on code experts if you need to do some minor tweaking on your blog, forum or website.

With a simple, effective blog you can earn some high page rankings with Google, Yahoo, Bing and other not so popular search engines by using quality links in your site and by incorporating RSS feeds for your readers. Most major blogging platforms support the use of RSS feeds. Use RSS feeds to your advantage.

Most blogs and articles are indexed just like a web page so make sure you construct your Title, Meta Description and Keywords in your source code correctly for the search engines. Placing links in your content area or in the footer is OK and should be pointing to your primary business website. Avoid using foreign links that have no value to your business opportunity.

You can use a blog to promote a press release and will remain on your blog much longer than the regular online press release which only last for maybe a couple of years. In your blog the press release can become a permanent link. You can gain a lot of credibility with a personal blog with good information. Many experts and reporters often follow good blogs, articles and forums.

Blogging is probably one of the most affordable methods for promoting on the internet that you can incorporate in your marketing strategies. There are many blogging platforms that are totally free and are extremely popular as well as powerful. If you look around you will see that some of the most popular reporters and experts are now using blogs not only to post current information but for their research as well.

Learn to write, post to blogs, forums and article directories if you want some excellent exposure for your business opportunity. If you don't understand how all these features work together, then seek the help of the professionals.

Helpful Tips on Article Writing!

2010-08-24T09:37:00.001-05:00

Not every article you write will be a cookie cutter style of the last one you wrote or any future article you may write. Depending on your thought process when you are writing will substantially influence the outcome of any article you write. This is especially true if you are writing from the heart rather than following an outline designed by someone else. There are some basics that all of us must follow when writing, however, when completed each of us will have a unique article that will reflect our true feelings about the subject matter at the very moment of our writing.

Depending on our individual writing styles a different outcome will evolve. If there was a group of a dozen writers and the group was requested to write an article on a given subject that must contained only one predetermined word, each of those articles would be uniquely different from their counterparts. My point here is simple. Each time you write you will have a basic style you will write in, but, your finished product will be totally different from your last writing.

I remember when I was learning to write we had 35 in the class and Butch Hamilton the SEO Master made us all write about the same topic. We all had to write an article per day about the word "Leads". We all had to use the same title specifically named "Leads"; however, it was amazing how diverse the content was on each of those 35 articles. Every day for seven full months each of us had to write about the subject of "Leads." This was an assignment that I personally took to heart and wrote and posted over 200 articles online during that class. Only nine out of the 35 followed the process and made the final cut. What a tremendous lesson on writing Butch conveyed to those who survived this awesome assignment. Thanks Butch!

There are multiple places you can post your writings online. Some are effective and other places are designed as place to post your articles and return little to no value for your efforts. One of the best places to post your writings is in Article Directories. There are multiple categories you can post to and you can become very selective by laser focusing your writings to one particular group of individuals who have a specific interest.

If you're going to use the all popular blogging medium to promote your writings, some experts say you should keep your writing a bit more condensed and limit your character count to somewhere between 300-500 words. However, there is not set rule here, and longer article are totally acceptable if you need to write more wordy content to get your point across. I personally post the same article on both blogs and to Article Directories.

The ultimate purpose of a blog and an Article Directory are somewhat different, however, good relevant content is what each of these entities must contain in order to be effective in promoting your business opportunity.

Some writers are emphatic about the title being the key ingredient for a successful writing, stating that the title is the one single item that captures the attention of the readers. This is true to some extent; however, some titles are a bit misleading because the title may have nothing to do with the actual subject matter of the article.

It is the opinion of this author that the length of the article is a non issue if the content is relevant keyword rich and has the ability to get your point across in a true and straight forward presentation. Having a wordy content doesn't mean that the author is more knowledgeable than someone who may write shorter articles. Sometimes lengthy articles will lose some effectiveness because the reader may become bored.

Use good common sense when writing and keep it as short as possible, however, make certain that your article follows the normal flow of presentation by capturing the reader's attention, creates a desire for your opportunity, generates a sincere interest in your product or service and leads the reader into a natural closing the sale situation where the user will want to participate in your opportunity.

The resource box at the end of your writing should contain your contact information as well as some links that points to your business opportunity. Don't overdo it with hyperlinks; in fact many directories will limit you to 2-3 links within the bio information area. If your writings are informative and appealing to the reader a couple of links here will be sufficient.

We mentioned earlier about posting your articles to Article Directories. This is an excellent way to build massive amounts of links and back links pointing to your website. Owning your own directory as a third level domain on your primary website is a powerful way to promote your business opportunity. Other seasoned authors will sign up as contributing authors in your directory and when a download is done from any of the articles in your Article Directory your permanent links will be on that download which could appear on literally hundreds of thousands of websites, forums and blogs all over the World Wide Web.

Is Your Website Optimized?

2010-08-22T12:24:00.001-05:00

Most of the websites online today are not designed to do well with the search engines. Many web designers know how to put all the flash, scrolling text and fluff in a site but don't know how to optimize a site for the benefit of the search engines. As we've discussed in some of our other writings the algorithms in each search engine is a bit difference and unless you know what a particular search engine is looking for, it's nearly impossible to be lucky enough to stumble on exactly what you need to do to make your site work effectively when the search engines sends their spiders to gather your information for indexing.

With the ever changing algorithms by the search engines, it's difficult to keep up with all the changes in their indexing strategies. This is where you need to seek the advice of a professional who keeps abreast of these changes and knows how to implement the new changes quickly. Just having a good looking website is not going to cut it with the search engines, so you must understand what to do, how to do it and then continue your process of learning and implementing your new found knowledge into making your site totally optimized for the search engines.

When you're designing a site and to begin to put your site together, it's important to follow the search engine guidelines of optimization in this process or you will never be seen by the users on line or the search engines. I talked to a gentleman yesterday who had a lot of scrolling banners on his site and couldn't understand why he wasn't being found online. The answer is simple; the search engines don't see pictures, scrolling text, banners and all the flash you put on your webpage. That is for the users eye appeal only, and may be necessary eye candy for users, however, not appealing to the search engines. Unless you optimize for both the user and the search engines your site will probably go nowhere fast.

Recently I read some information that I thought said it best. If users "can't find you via the search engines, you may simply have a great looking billboard in a cornfield." I wish I knew who wrote that quote so I could give them credit, because they hit the nail right on the head with that statement.

A well optimized website design is an open invitation for the search engines to visit your site often and follow your links from one page to another, check your source code for accuracy, they will verify your keywords listed and make sure they are relevant to your site and that your site has met all the rules and guidelines of their algorithms. If all these segments of your site are in order then the search engines will move your page rankings to higher positions. This is an ongoing process, so don't get discouraged if your page ranking makes some rather drastic moves every couple of days until the search engines figures out exactly where your site should be positioned in their indexing.

One suggestion that will help the search engines to crawl your site quickly and effectively is to include a site map. This will make it much easier for the engines to see that you have followed their rules and guidelines regarding the headers, titles, Meta description, linked correctly and used your keywords strategically throughout your content. With this sitemap the search engine spiders will follow your map and index your site accordingly. All of these functions are in the source code of your site and not readily recognized by the everyday users who visit your site.

Many of these elements of your site are not even considered by most website designers and developers or webmasters and as a result your website will soon wither and become stagnant. If you're currently at this point in your website experience, then you need to seek the services of a trained optimization specialist who may be able to make some quick recommendations that will help your site move in rankings with the search engines. The secret here is to build your site for the users eye appeal, but include all the search engines recommendations so you can attain better popularity with both of these entities.

Keep in mind when building or optimizing your site to use language that the general public can understand. A well rounded website should be easy to read, understandable without all the techie phrases and be simple to navigate for the general audiences. If there is some technical information that you need to include, you can do that by creating another page in your site dedicated to only techie information that the more technical user can refer to.

Once you've followed the plan of design, built your site and uploaded it to your server what do you do next? The old saying "if you build it, they will come" was obviously not made by someone who is an experienced website promoter.

At this point in this venture, your work has just begun. You must now work hard to get your site to appear online when a search query is made by a user for one of your keywords. You must build a list of potential clients that you can mail information to about your product or services. You must build links and back links to your business. These are functions that must become second nature to you in your everyday marketing activities.

This is a process that can be accomplished in two different ways. One is that you can learn the process and use your knowledge to promote any new opportunity you want for the rest of your life. The second options is to hire the services of someone who has already went through the process of studying, learning and consistently uses their knowledge to earn organic search engine rankings. You can follow either one of these paths, or you can do some combination of the two. This choice is totally up to each individual situation. If your time is valuable and you can afford to get the help you need, then start today on your new found information journey and enjoy the benefits of online success.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to answer any questions regarding how this process works and whether it may work for you and your business. Call today for your free 30 minutes "no obligation" consultation. You'll be glad you did.

Blogging and Your Business Future!

2010-08-19T08:27:00.001-05:00

The internet has consistently been growing daily since its inception over a decade ago, simply because individuals just like you and I are using the internet for more and more of our daily chores. One activity that most people use on a regular basis is the convenience of using the internet for most of their banking needs. Businesses are using the internet now for much of their advertising, other forms of marketing and saving money in their communications between the company employees and satellite offices. Virtual offices are being utilized by more small businesses than ever before. There are some definite reasons for all of this movement to online usage. It's quick, affordable and very effective in this fast paced world that we live in today.

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing have devoted an incredible amount of time, money and efforts to cater to the business sector of our society. We live in an electronic age of information and this demands different strategies to be implemented into the business world in an effort to be competitive on a global basis.

It's now much easier for us to find information, products and services with the use of the internet. The phone directory in hard copy is almost a thing of the past.

With the phenomenal growth that the internet is experiencing, the search engines have broadened their information base to include everything imaginable for the benefit of private sector as well as the business community of our society. With this change, the need for different approaches and strategies for marketing has evolved and change must happen if we want to stay competitive in our lives and businesses.

It has become common place for businesses to incorporate every method of online promotion imaginable to compete with this massive change that's taking place in today's society. Many methods of promotion once used even a couple of years ago, are today virtually non-existent.

One of the most powerful methods of marketing that has evolved from this massive change, is the advent of blogging. Many of us think of blogging as being a method of communication for the younger generation, in their attempt to keep in contact with friends or maybe for the busy mom to get information about the latest little league baseball schedule or soccer practice.

Back in the late 90's when Google acquired Blogger, they clearly understood that blogging was one of the new and upcoming crazes that would sweep the web by storm and sure enough they made the right choice by purchasing Blogger. Today Blogger is the largest, most recognized, most popular blogging format being used on the internet today. I personally have 45 blogs that I post to on a daily basis. Blogging is a powerful way to help promote any business opportunity quickly, as well as being affordable and effectively.

With the addition of Blogging to Google's overall long range business plans to become the biggest and best search engine in the world, they have rightly established themselves as the leader in search engines around the world. Now, all kinds of search engines can quickly send their robots to crawl websites for new content to feed their databases with new inforamation, in an effort to provide accurate search results when a query is made for any keyword or phrase by an internet user seeking the latest up to date information.

Blogs are crawled by the search engines spiders more often that regular websites, and if you have your blog linked to your website and your website linked to your blog, the results becomes a win-win situation for you rather quickly. Many individuals, business owners and webmasters are finding that blogging is one of the most affordable methods of getting your message to the internet masses. Search engines like Google actually spider blogs several time per day because of the new content being added.

The search engines love new content and sometimes your new content will be indexed and will be show up on line within a matter of seconds in some cases. This method of getting your information up and running quickly has become a more productive way to get your site recognized faster than any other method of marketing available today. This is about as close to real-time marketing as you can get.

Normally the search engines will crawl the World Wide Web maybe every 4-6 weeks or so for new content, unless you notify the search engines that you've added some new content to your site using the hand indexing method we mentioned yesterday in our article. I think you're beginning to see some of the advantages of blogging compared to other methods of promotions that some webmasters and SEO firms uses in their marketing strategies.

You can even get a bit more aggressive in this process by finding various ping engine services that will send out signals to multiple search engines notifying the engines that new content has been added to your blog or website. The huge advantage here is that each of the ping engines will notify countless smaller engines that use their services that new content has been added. The search engines then will index your information so much quicker than using the conventional promotion methods.

Never underestimate the power of blogging. If you're not totally familiar with what blogging is all about, then secure the services of a professional immediately and see what you've been missing. Blogging has become of age, its here and now, learn how to make blogging a part of your daily marketing strategies.

There are more than 70 +/- million blogs in existence today, and estimates indicate that a new blog is being added every minute of every day. You owe it to yourself and your business to get involved in this phenomenal, affordable, powerful marketing concept as soon as possible.

Search Engine Optimization and your Website!

2010-08-16T12:43:00.001-05:00

Search Engine Optimization often referred to as SEO is overlooked many time by individuals, simply because most people don't understand what SEO is all about. SEO is more technical that just ordinary online marketing and the more you know about this process the better you will become at earning "Top Positions on Google", Yahoo and MSN, now known as Bing. By acquiring a bit of knowledge and understanding what the search engines are looking for, in a website when you're doing a marketing campaign can become the difference between a rewarding campaign and a total flop.

In this process of learning it will be necessary to learn some HTML code so you can tweak your website for maximum effectiveness for the search engines. As we've discussed before in some of our writings, you must make your site pleasing for the user, as well as the search engines.

Making your source code totally optimized for the search engines, they will send their spiders back to crawl your website, so it can be indexed correctly. The search engines love good relevant text in your site and by following this one simple process you can gain a lot of page ranking position. As you can see the source code and the visual aspects of your website must be in harmony, if you want to get the maximum exposure.

In SEO doing all the things that you read about won't necessarily guarantee you rankings in the top 10 of Google, especially if you haven't followed the basic rules and guidelines of optimization of your website. Many individuals often confuse SEO with regular advertising, and nothing could be further from the truth. These two functions are totally different in their purpose and implementation into your marketing strategies. If you don't understand the differences, then secure the services of a reputable marketing specialist who understands the differences and knows how to do both of these functions effectively.

To get to the top of the search engines is an art and science and you must learn the process to become good enough to earn those Top Positions with Google, Yahoo and Bing as well as some of the other not so popular search engines. Gaining those positions is one thing, maintaining those positions is another thing, and you must devote a great deal of time and effort to keep your high positions once they are attained.

Whether you're doing some basic optimization to your website or doing a massive campaign you need to make sure your site is optimized, and if not, then go back and start at the basics and work from there up to a fully optimized marketing campaign.

It's important to understand that humans are the users of your products and services, and that the spiders used by the search engines are robots. It's imperative that both of these elements are impressed with your site before you will get any business. The search engines are interested in, the source code of your website, and are text driven, while the user is interested in the appearance and quality of your information in your website. This will take some trial and error to consistantly produce a website that will comply with the needs of both of these entities.

Let's talk for a moment about the search engines. The search engines will send their robots out to crawl the World Wide Web looking for text regarding what your site is all about. The engines conduct several different task during this process. The process of crawling, indexing, processing, calculating the relevancy and retrieving information is the functions of what happens when the spiders come to your site.

There are different names used for this process. Some of the search engines call them crawlers, others will call them Spiders, Robots and of course the all famous Googlebot used by Google. Whichever one comes to your site the purpose is the same and that is to follow links from page to page and index everything, that they can find on your site that will help in positioning your URL properly on search results when a user types a query in the search bar of their favorite search engine.

There are over 20 Billion pages on the internet and it's impossible for any of these spiders to visit every page every day, so the robots will come back and spider your site quicker if you hand index your URL directly to the big three search engines when you add new content to your website. In most cases your site will only get crawled once every 6-8 weeks, so if you want your site to be crawled quicker, then do the hand indexing mentioned above.

When initially building your site, and making changes give some serious thought, as to what the search engines are going to look at. The engines won't look at pictures, flash movies, Java Script or password protected pages. There are some special tools that will help you check your site exactly as the search engines will look at it. This is a tremendous tool to have in your marketing toolbox if you want to make sure your doing it right.

Anything we listed about that the spiders can't see, will not be indexed. This makes that information of absoluetly no value to your search engine rankings, because the search engines will consider your information as non-existent because of the pictures, java script etc..

The next step of this process is for the search engines to index your website. This is when they go to their huge databases and retrieve the information that was gathered when the robot visited your site and gathered your information. The search engine then matches your website keywords with the search query by the user and will publish the search results in order of importance and rankings. Each search engine will give a different position of your site because of the differences in the algorithms of the various engines.

Many factors are considered in this overall process, such as relevant keywords, keyword phrases, keyword density, whether the title of the site contains keywords, the amount of keywords in the meta tag description and many other factors to numerous to mention. With a well rounded display of relevant keywords in your source code and your content area of your site, you may be listed by the search engines in multiple categories. This is a good thing, and will help you when any user, has typed one of your keywords in the search box of their favorite search engine looking for a product or service.

As you can see, each of the search engines has different algorithms and guidelines for listing your site. It is imperative for you to either understand these differences or secure the services of an SEO expert. If you're truly serious about earning "Top Positions on Google" and other search engines, then learn the art and science of optimization. If you don't feel you can learn the process or just don't want to learn, then you can call the eBiz Solutions Team for assistance in your marketing challenges.

Blogging To Online Success!

2010-08-14T12:14:00.001-05:00

Blogging has been popular on the internet for several years now, and has evolved into one of the most powerful marketing tools one can use in your effective marketing strategies. It is estimated that every second of every day, someone starts a new blog. The big challenge for most individuals and companies is, they go into this aspect of marketing with little, to no knowledge, of the basic fundamentals on how to use this form of marketing to become a successful venture.

If you're not familiar with what blogging is all about, and how to work through the process of creation, optimization and managing a blog correctly, then you need to secure the services of a professional SEO organization. By securing the services of a reputable SEO group, you can save a lot of time and money in your implementation of this process into your present marketing strategies. Gaining the knowledge, and leveraging the experience, and knowledge of a professional will help your earn Top Positions on Google, Yahoo and Bing, much quicker than trying to learn strictly by trial and error.

For those who don't know what blogging is all about, I think we need to address the question of exactly what a blog is and its functions. A blog is actually a website that allows an individual, business or webmaster to create, publish and manage relevant information about your business opportunity or information you wish to share online. There is little to no expertise to set up a blog, and post your information of interest you want to share with the masses on the internet.

An excellent comparison between a website and a blog would be as follows. Many times a website is designed, built and posted, one time only and the average person expects the site to immediately be visible for all to see online. If your site is not frequently updated with new information, you will probably never see any movement on your page rankings with the search engines. The search engines likes blogs because you are posting to your blog with new content on a frequent basis. The more new relevant content you can put in a blog the quicker your blog will move up in page rankings.

If you would do a Google search for blogging systems, you will find there are literally hundreds of blogging formats that you can participate in. Some of these blogs are free, and many of them you will find charges from maybe a dollar or so to post, to some outlandish fees to other companies, claiming to be the biggest and best on the market. There are a couple of ways you can get involved in this process. You can host a blog on your own website or you may choose to host your blog with a blogging system provider.

Some of the most popular systems are Blogger, WordPress, TypePad and LiveJournal. There are numerous add-ons that you can incorporate in your blog which may appeal to you. One important factor here should be considered and that is don't put a lot of junk add-ons on your blog and distract from what your real purpose is for having the blog in the first place. Setting up an adequate blog can be done in a matter of a few minutes, even if you're a novice in this type of process.

There's over 70 million blogs online today and statistics show that over 30% of users are involved in some way with blogging. By reviewing these numbers, it's easy to understand why blogging is becoming an important element for promoting your business opportunity. If you're not going to blog on your website blog, then don't set it up as a part of your website. With no activity in your blog, the search engines will probably penalize you and reduce your page rankings. The search engines love new content, and much of their algorithms weight, is on how much new relevant content is added and how frequently you update your site. If done correctly, blogging can be a tremendous boost to your overall online success.

If you don't consistently update your blog and website your site will become stagnant to the user and the search engines and they, will quit coming back to view your site. No traffic coming to your web site will equal, no sales, and with no sales your site will soon fail. The reader can quickly see if there is new content being added because, the blogs are displayed chronologically , so the newest post will always appear at the top. How frequently you post is totally up to you. It's good to write everyday if at all possible, however, if your schedule is fractured every day, you may only be able to post once every week. Whichever schedule you choose, make sure you do it consistently. You will soon build a following of loyal users that may become your next best customer.

If all of this information is a little overwhelming to you, not a problem. The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in your online blogging experience. Call today, for your free 30 minute, "no obligation" consultation.

Choosing the Right URL is Crucial to Your Online Success!

2010-08-09T14:43:00.001-05:00

Choosing the right name for your business is always important to any new venture. If you're selling shoes, you wouldn't want to name your company Fantastic Dreams! Fantastic Dreams has nothing to do with shoes. You want something that is easy to remember and when someone thinks of you, they think of your company name as well. When they think of your company, they automatically think of you. You can address this important issue by looking for relevant keywords, that relate to your business opportunity.

When I'm doing a promotion for my clients, many times I will spend as much time researching keywords, as I will in drafting the actual business promotion plan. Everything regarding promoting your business, will be a direct result of what keywords, you use in your Title, Meta tags and content of your website. Your URL is the first thing your customer and the search engines see's, when they look at your site.

If in this process you can come up with a catchy name that is relevant to your business opportunity and easy for the customer to remember, that would be your best case scenario. That doesn't happen too often, so be creative and come up with a name that will work for your specific business. Large companies spend literally million dollars per year, coming up with catchy names and sayings to capture the potential users attention. Once you can make an M in the form of an arch recognizable and people can tell you what it stands for, then you've nailed the right combination.

Many of the real clever names and slogans have already been taken, however, you must tailor make your name and business opportunity unique, to your particular business needs. Putting a lot of thought into this process will save you loads of time and money in the future. It's difficult to make any changes to these two critical elements, once you've started to become recognized on the internet.

We mentioned earlier about having some keywords in the name of your company. This will make it easier for the general public to relate to your opportunity. Many people I talk to will remark that all the good names are already taken. Not really! You can take an existing name you like, and personalize it a bit and that domain name may be available for purchase as a domain name. A good example would be Ford.com, that name is already taken by Ford Motor Company and let's say your last name is Ford, what are your options? Use your imagination a little here. A good take off on the word Ford might be http;//af-ford-able.com or a take off on any specific word you want to focus on. Get creative and you will find countless names that can be applied to your business efforts.

There are various factors that must be considered when choosing that unique name for your business. Is your business local, national or international? What is the focus of your business? Are you a specialty business or is there a lot of competition in your industry? These are all questions that should be considered when putting your whole marketing program together.

If your focus is going to be more on the local area, you might want to put the name of your City and State in the URL. Targeting a particular geographic area can become a powerful way to beat your competition.

As we pointed out earlier, you are unlimited in your options with the use of dashes and periods since the search engine looks at them as spaces. One piece of advice is to use at least one keyword in your domain, however, don't use more than three keywords, because the engines may consider that you are attempting to spam. By doing your original keyword research you will be able to use many different combinations to your advantage. Ask your family and friends to help you in this selection process. Ask them what they would search for, if they were looking for your product or service.

The use of dot com, dot biz, dot net is a matter of preference. There are no hard fast rules here. My feeling is that most people will always think of a URL ending in a dot com symbol. Other symbols may be used and can possibly be effective, however, I recommend getting the dot com if at all possible.

Another consideration is the age of your domain. If you have an old domain that will work for your current project, then by all means us that domain. The search engines will put more credence in an aged domain over a new domain. Since many new businesses fail in the first year or so, there is a feeling that an aged domain has already shown stability and longevity.

Another factor you must consider would be how many links your aged domain has pointing to it. Does your aged domain truly reflect your current business objectives? Sometimes an aged domain can be used if you use the aged domain by adding a third level domain. This way you can used an aged domain with the third level domain referring to your current opportunity. If you're uncertain about some of the concepts we discuss here, don't hesitate to contact our Search Engine Optimization Marketing Specialist.

Links are important for any website, regardless of the age of the domain. Both quality and quantity of the links are important, and each of these segments has a different weight factor with the search engines. The primary goal is to have as many back links pointing to your website as possible. Link building is a long term process and will take months, and sometimes even years to develop enough links to really stand out above the crowd and your competition.

Keep in mind your present goals, as well as any future plans you have for your business when you're naming your business. If your thoughts are to expand in some kind of associate business later on, you might want to consider some kind of title that will cover your existing situation as well as your future plans, without changing your name a few months or years down the road.

A Search Engine Optimization Specialist can help you in this critical phase of building your business.

The eBiz Solutions Team is standing by to assist you in your keyword, title and name search of your new opportunity. Call today for your free 30 minute "no obligation" consultation.

Optimization Strategies to Help Build Your Business!

2010-08-07T18:45:00.001-05:00

Any company who specializes in Search Engine Optimization understands that the relationship between the company and the client involves expectations of success in their marketing efforts. The client's expectations are sometimes greater than reasonable because the client wants results quicker than may be possible. The company representative should discuss with the client that results of optimization will vary in each individual promotion campaign and many time will take longer than expected.

Patience is a virtue when it comes to online optimization, marketing and promoting. Optimization on any campaign is a process that takes commitment, consistency and patience to experience positive results with any of the many SEO companies you may choose. Online marketing and optimization is totally different than any other advertising medium so different strategies must be implemented.

There are three main areas that must be considered when you're putting together an optimized marketing campaign.

First of all your optimization specialist must make sure your web site is optimized correctly with a least one keyword and no more than 3 keywords in your title.

Secondly, your marketing consultant must do some extensive research to determine exactly what must be done to make your site move in the search engine rankings. Normally optimizing your keyword area will help substantially. Twenty to twenty five relevant keywords are enough keywords to use for most websites. Using fewer keywords will help you to laser focus your marketing efforts. Be cautious and don't overdo it with your keywords. Don't use more than 3-5% keywords to content ratio. Keyword stuffing will kill any chances of good search engine rankings. In some campaigns I will use only one keyword if I want to laser focus my whole promotion campaign.

Third, your SEO representative must design a program for the short term page rank movement, plus design a long term blueprint that must be followed for long term results that will keep your site in top positions with the search engines once you get there. This process is not an overnight process and may take weeks, months or even years to earn and keep the organic page ranking positions you desire.

One critical element of any successful campaign should include a strategy of designing, implementing and building links and back links to your business opportunity. The search engines love links and the more links you generate the quicker your website will move up in ranking positions.

Keep in mind that if your product or service is competitive your results will take longer than normal to accomplish your goals. Some other reasons that will weigh heavily against you is improper source codes, junk code and duplicate content.

Don't be afraid to ask your SEO professional questions about what is being done to help move your site forward. Be willing to accept change if necessary to see the results you expect. Each and every campaign is unique and should be customized to your likes and dislikes, however, let your professional do his or her job in an effort to make it all happen.

If your SEO professional is not getting results, there is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion of whether his or her strategies will work to accomplish your online marketing goals. If your expert can't resolve problem quickly, then you might be wise to have a heart to heart talk with your representative and make some changes in your strategies to gain those high ranking positions you desire.

In some of our recent articles we've discussed some of the other variables that you may confront when you're promoting your business opportunity. Feel free to review any and all of these writings for tons of other Tips and Tid Bits about how to market effectively online.

Use Press Releases to Announce Your Business!

2010-08-05T19:39:00.001-05:00

Marketing effectively online requires a number of different processes that must blend together and flow like a well oiled machine when you're promoting your business opportunity. Not everyone who markets online knows how to do this process and many don't really care to learn. This is where it may be to your advantage to acquire the professional services of a marketing expert to help you in this ever changing process of promoting your business.

One critical element many of the professionals use for successful marketing results is using press releases on a regular basis. Just putting out a press release by itself probably won't give you the recognition you feel you might deserve. However, including press releases in your overall strategies will make an excellent, well rounded, powerful marketing campaign come alive.

A press release for online distribution is rather easy to create, informative to the reader and easy to distribute. Your press release should include between 400-800 words in total and should be written in the 3rd person format. There are no limits regarding the amount of press releases you can write and distribute so use this marketing tool to your advantage.

If you've had something exciting in your marketing efforts then do a press release on that specific issue and share it with the masses on the internet. Let's say that you recently started using a remarkable marketing tool and you signed up as an affiliate for that product and the new system has been producing some fantastic results. Wouldn't that be something to write about in a press release promoting your affiliate opportunity and asking users to join you in your new venture?

Think about what some of your existing clients questions have been over the last few weeks and the answers you gave that client. Write them down and then expand on that issue. Think of other questions that you had when you first started using the program and write down the answers to those questions. You now have a basis for issuing a press release about your latest and greatest addition to your marketing endeavors.

Once you get your press release written and you've met all the guidelines for publishing press releases then publish your release on your website, blogs and any submission service that you can find that will publish your new found opportunity. Many of the free publishing services have a limited time they will leave your release live on the internet. In some cases you will find that these free services will only keep your release for two years or less.

By publishing your press release on your own website, personal or business blog, forum or possibly your own article directory, these releases can include multiple permanent links pointing back to your website. The search engines love back links so the more links you can generate the higher your page ranking will appear when a search query is made containing your keywords or keyword phrases. In article directories you can normally place up to three links in the bio area of your press release, blog or directory post.

Don't forget to hand index the unique URL of your press release to at least the big three search engines. Since most of the queries are made through Google, Yahoo and Bing your site should see some substantial movements in the search engine results. Some of the bigger press release companies are associated with some of the bigger most respected publishers on the internet so don't overlook this tremendous opportunity to get your name, your companies name and information in front of the major players.

Make your press release interesting, informative and don't try to sell your product through the press release. Many of the publishers will pick up on your attempt to sell your opportunity and will ban your information from being published. If one of these major players in the publishing business decides to pick up your information, they will distribute your release to literally thousands of other publishers and your article may even be picked up and featured by one of the big boys. I've personally had some of my press releases syndicated and ended up with hundreds of thousands of hits. This type of promotion is powerful if done correctly. If you don't know how to do a press release you can hire a professional marketing specialist to do it for you. Most of the time you can get a professional to write a good press release for about a hundred dollars on up. Believe me it's worth every penny of the cost to have it done correctly by someone who knows what they are doing.

There are some of the press release publishers that will distribute your press release for free. Some charge a small fee for each release they publish. The paid versions will normally get a better exposure than the free programs. The paid versions also publish quickly where some of the free publishers may wait weeks to publish. Many times the free versions don't even publish your information. If depends on their work load, the amount of paid releases they have and sometimes is seems like their mood even may play a part in whether they publish or not.

The paid versions of this process typically include better distribution to the news wires and search engines as well. It is my recommendation to go with the paid versions because of the extra value. It takes about the same amount of effort to do it right as it does to do it wrong. Let the system work for you the most effective way possible. In my experience with online marketing there are no shortcuts to get the results you deserve for the efforts you put forth. If you don't understand this whole concept, then acquire the services of a professional early on in any of your projects.

Organic Search Engine Rankings!

2010-08-03T18:05:00.001-05:00

Every once in awhile you'll see a company which states they will "guarantee" you a "Top Positions on Google" is you pay them some outlandish fees. With the ever changing algorithms of the Search Engines this should be a red flag for you not to get involved. Earning organic page ranks with Google and other fine search engines can NOT be bought….you must earn your organic position. The search engine algorithms are complex, ever changing and highly secretive regarding the guidelines and are only available to a selected few of the search engines staff. This is done for the purpose of leveling the playing field for all online marketers.

The reason Google must change their algorithms so often is to protect their paid advertising revenues that are generated by their pay per click Adwords programs. Sure you can use this form of promoting to get top positions by how much you bid on particular adwords and you can buy a top position even though you are a small company with no track record of quality products, zero sales or may have a questionable business ethics. This type of advertising is extremely costly if you want to pay for high rankings and top positions.

Changes are so frequent on the search engines you may see hundreds or even thousands of changes every single month. You will see your page ranking position be on page one of Google today and tomorrow you may show up on page 80 or maybe not show up at all. To be in top positions on Google and other search engines consistently takes a lot of work and implementing the right procedures in your marketing campaigns. You should never consider falling for the lies of top organic positions with any company for any amount of money. No one can legitimately guarantee you organic top positions on any search engine.

Google algorithms will continue to change and the only way you're going to earn those high organic positions and keep them is to keep up with the latest changes and apply SEO strategies on an ongoing basis. Most people don't have a clue on how this is done and can't learn or don't want to learn this ever changing process. This is where you need to find an SEO Optimization Team that has a proven track record and is willing to work with you and your business to make this process all happen.

Letting your efforts dwindle even by a small amount can be devastating to your success and your competition will soon leave you in the dust. Don't get discouraged with how slow the rankings change with the search engines. Sure we all want success to happen overnight, but your success isn't going to be fulfilled quickly. It took Google 10 years to become the #1 search engine giant that we enjoy today. Building a site that consistently ranks high on the search engines can take months and even years to become a successful online venture. If you're not in this business for the long haul, then you might as well take a different direction right from the start.

Google has built a following of serious marketers that are passionately loyal to Google and statics show that over 75% of all searches online use Google as their choice of search engines. Other search engines as well as article and marketing directories use Google as their preference for their information source.

It's the goal of every online marketer to earn a "Top Positions on Google." However, there are only so many positions on page one of the search engines. Ninety per cent of all users on the internet won't search past page one of the search engines on any query for a specific targeted search. Most users have used Google and have seen the results returned on their queries; however, very few people even know what they are looking at.

One effective way to effectively market your business online is to use a combination of organic strategies and paid ads we discussed earlier. Paid ads consistently cost 8-9 times more than organic strategies so use good judgment when you decide which method to use. If you still are questionable about what to do, then seek the services of a SEO Marketing Consultant as soon as possible.

The search engines use certain guidelines that we've discussed in some of our other recent writings. Just to recap….you can be involved in paid ads which can be found normally on the right hand side of the search results page. Your positions will depend on how much money you're willing to bid for a particular keyword.

In Summary: Organic results of a search page accounts for about 70-80% of all clicks on the search results page. By simple analysis of the facts above it's easy to see which would be the best method to use for effective marketing solutions. The cost of organic marketing is more affordable, visibility is higher and management is minimal.

Paid advertisements have less exposure because of 20-30% click thru ratio, cost more to participate in and takes an great deal of time to manage.

Promote Your Affiliate Opportunity by Writing Articles!

2010-08-01T13:20:00.001-05:00

Affiliate Marketing has been around for a while but most people really don't understand how it works and what has to be done to get a replicated site recognize by the search engines. First of all we need to have a common understanding of what affiliate marketing is all about and why certain things happen when promoting affiliate sites. There has been an incredible amount of money made by some individuals who have studied the process and applied their knowledge to market effectively using the affiliated marketing strategies they've learned.

The whole concept of affiliate marketing is to allow individuals to promote other peoples products or business opportunities. This is accomplished by having your own sales splash page pointing to the main their website and you getting paid a commission for advertising and promoting their business. There's no investment here except for the affiliate's time spent for these promotional activities and directing new customers to the company's main website.

Commissions vary with each company who offer affiliate programs so it's up to each person who wants this type of setup as their primary method of marketing online. There are numerous products and services that you can get involved with by typing in the Google Search Bar the term affiliate business opportunities. Make sure you understand how and when you will be paid. Many companies will hold your commissions until you've earned a fair amount of commissions before they will pay. Some organizations require you earn as much as much as $250 before the company will payout any commissions.

You will probably have to promote multiple products and services in order to make a respectable income if affiliate marketing is going to be your only method of generating income. However, affiliate marketing is an excellent way to possibly earn some income while you're putting your own opportunity together. Some companies only pay for the initial transaction with a bit higher commission structure for the initial sale, however, pay nothing for any monthly payments that may be paid by your customer. Residual income in this business is imperative if you want to succeed for the long haul. Look for residual income for 2 to 3 level deep before you make a commitment to spend a lot of time on affiliate programs.

Avoid the pie in the sky programs that say you get paid 10 levels deep or to infinity. What a joke. This type of program may be good for the owner of the program or those who got in on the ground floor of the opportunity but probably not for you. By all means do your due diligence before you get involved with any type of "to good to be true" programs. Always avoid any type of pyramid schemes.

If you decide to go with any one of the types of affiliate programs we've discussed earlier then the question comes up of how to promote such a concept. Please understand that the search engines don't index replicated websites. So be very cautious about getting involved with an affiliate programs that demands you use their replicated site and has restrictions on what you can promote and how you do it. There are companies that can help you with this questionable method of marketing. Make sure you check out the various aspects of promoting affiliate opportunities before you jump in with both feet. Ask a professional marketing expert about affiliate marketing and whether this type of marketing is the best way to make money online.

One of the most cost effect methods of promoting any type of opportunity online is with a marketing concept often referred to as Article Marketing. By implementing article marketing into your overall marketing strategies you can create countless back links to your site plus substantial increase in traffic to your business opportunity. More traffic evolves into more sales and that's what marketing is all about.

There are some important points that need to be addressed about article writing especially if your thrust is going to be for affiliate marketing purposes. Writing articles is an excellent way to promote a specific product or services explaining the values your products or services provide for the users. Your product review should be interesting for the reader and should be in a low key, non threatening format. Once you've provided this valuable information to the reader, make sure you have some links at the bottom of the article which will point the users to the main web site sales page for additional information

The information in your splash page should be clear, concise and informative and blend smoothly into your contact information in the resource box at the bottom of the splash page. This is where you should place your links to your website and product pages for the user's convenience.

Writing Powerful Content for Readers and Search Engines!

2010-07-30T10:27:00.001-05:00

It's important to capture the attention of your readers quickly in any writings that you do. There's no better place than in the title of your article. Try to use two or three of your keywords in the title if at all possible. Many people look at the title and make a choice of whether to read any further or not. By making your title keyword specific you can target a broader reading audience much quicker.

Some writers feel that the longer the title of an article the better. The length of your title doesn't really matter as long as long as you capture the attention of your reading audience and they continue to read your article to the end. Try to put yourself in the mind of your readers and think as they would think about what you're trying to convey to the masses.

There are hundreds of article online discussing every topic one can imagine. Your only edge to get people to read your article may be the targeted title you finally end up with and publish. The title is the first thing people look at so be very careful when deciding what you end up using for a title.

Once you've got the title that will captivate the attention of your readers, then you must focus on the content of your writing. You are not writing a mystery novel here so don't keep your readers in suspense. In your first paragraph be specific about what you're writing about using keywords that best describes your thoughts that can be found in the content of your article. Unless you get to the point rather quickly, your readers will quickly exit your writings and go to a competitor's article that may captures their attention.

An equally important element that must be considered is the acceptance of your writings by the search engines. Writing for page rankings with the search engines is vitally important to a successful marketing campaign. The content of each site, blog, forum or article should be focused on pleasing the search engines with proper formatting as well as good keyword specific copy. A good rule of thumb is to use 5-7 keywords or keyword phrases well positioned in your article that are specific to your subject matter. Don't use any keyword more than about 5 times in the full content of your article. Avoid keyword stuffing at all cost.

Be extremely cautious not to overdo the amount of keywords in your article. There are varied opinions by optimization specialist regarding what percentage is acceptable with the search engine without getting nailed for keyword stuffing and spamming. Some say from 3-5% is the maximum you should consider while others may go as high as 10% saturation of keywords to total word content. My personal opinion is why take the chance ….try to stay more to the low side with 5-6% ratios for acceptable saturation guidelines.

Be specific rather than using examples and metaphors. The search engines are robots not humans so you must be specific with good relevant keywords and phrases in all of your content.

Use short paragraphs for the benefit of your readers. Many individuals scan read and will read only the first few words of a paragraph. Your reading audience online is totally different than if you were writing a book. People on line are looking for answers to specific questions that are affecting their lives right now. If they want to read about witches and goblins they can go to Barnes and Noble and buy volumes of that type of reading material.

With the information available on line today people will spend an incredible amount of time skimming over volumes of material on any given subject before making a final choice for any purchase. Knowing this before you write will give you a competitive edge and a whole new perspective on how you write. Use this information to your advantage. Writing in small chunks will help those readers who skim read and permit them to make their choices much quicker than having to read volumes of unrelated information. Many people will read your title and closing remarks and then make a choice of whether to read the content of your article or not.

Write your articles in plain and simple English so your readers will feel totally comfortable reading what you have to say. Once you start getting technical, using fancy words or getting political you will lose a good share of your reading audience immediately.

Once you've stated your case and told your story about your product or service in the main content area of your site or article, then do a short recap at the end to help simplify the process of choices for the readers to buy or not to buy. You are reinforcing features stated in your article and many readers will remember only two things in this whole process which is the title of your article and the conclusion area of your writing.

In Conclusion: Write a captivating title using two or three keyword specific title for each article relative to the content you've written about in your content area. Use keywords and phrases in the content area with a reasonable percentage of keywords to total words ratio used in the article. Make it easy for your reader to scan read making the purchasing process a more positive outcome. Do a summary, conclusion or overview of your article and ask for the order in some form of a bi-line section found at the bottom of the article.

Promote Your Business by Writing Good Copy!

2010-07-29T12:16:00.001-05:00

There's a whole new breed of internet users joining the internet workforce looking for independence, flexibility of schedule and freedom to spend more time with the kids and family. Maybe your intent is to make enough money to take a dream vacation to the islands that up till now has evaded you and your loved ones. Whatever your reasons for your new online venture, the needs to follow a blueprint to success is important. Writing will help you accomplish your goals.

The internet is a tremendous resource of information with literally millions of website offering every kind of opportunity imaginable. The big question for most people is "where do I start" in order to make this venture a successful, rewarding journey? Most individuals don't have a clue of where to begin so don't feel you're alone if you've ask yourself such a question.

We all started in this business right where you are now, so don't get discouraged. I can vividly recall when I first started, I didn't even know how to turn on a computer, let alone try to market online. I was in my early 60's, retired, and looking for something to do so I could keep up with the cost of inflation and make some extra spending money to support my golf habit and other interest.

I had no clue of what to do, so I did what I knew best and that was to do my due diligence on anything regarding how to market online. I sought the advice of what appeared to be some online professionals. Someone who would teach me what I needed to know about marketing correctly, effectively and without all the hype that appeared to go with many of the offering I had seen in my beginning days of online activities.

One of the things I learned early on in my research was that writing is an important element in building a successful online presence that was necessary to learn if I was to become successful. Like most people I felt that I had no ability to write anything that would capture someone's attention. So I didn't take it seriously at all. I knew I could sell because that's what I had done all through my working career.

Little did I realize that writing was the quickest, most affordable and effective way to promote any online business opportunity! I had to learn how to write. I was privileged to set in some writing classes by Dr. Forte who had a natural ability in teaching the art and science of "writing to win." She taught me to just be myself and write like I think and talk in my regular normal everyday conversations. Don't put on any fluff on who you are, what you know or what you've done in the past. Live in the here and now and write what you feel that's affecting your life at this present moment. Thanks Dr. Forte for your guidance.

Writing good copy is the key to online success. Whether you're writing copy for your website, a blog or an article for publication in an article directory, the need to convey your message effectively to the masses is a critical element one must master. You must put yourself in the reader's shoes and write what is important about your product or service and how with your opportunity you can help solve important issues in your reader's life.

If you're attempting to provide solutions for the younger generation, talking about something for the old folks is of no value. You must have a target audience in mind when you start your explanation of your product or service and be cautious not to vary to far from that audience.

You must make your presentation compelling in an effort to motivate your readers to join you in your opportunity. You must answer important questions that may be ask about your product or services. Knowing who your reading audience is will help you write some compelling emails, blogs, forum and articles that will capture their attention and keep their attention to the very end of your writings.

Showing how your product or service can benefit your reader can be enhanced by using some powerful, relevant keywords and phrases regarding your business opportunity. Writing content for a website is somewhat different than writing for blogs or articles you're going to be publishing. You may need to do some extra research to fine tune your thought process for writing often about your services.

Keep your articles to single page format if at all possible. Give information, however, don't get too technical. If someone wants more specific technical information let them personally do that research on the subject matter in question. Give your readers enough information to draw them in.

It's imperative that you check your spelling and grammar in every one of your writings. This will give you credibility and give you the appearance of being a professional and your reading audience will be more apt to stick around and read your complete article. Avoid writing with the intent of making your information appear as an infomercial. Giving good information will automatically entice your reader to become involved with you and your business.

There are individuals who can help you learn to write together with as some inexpensive software that can be very helpful in learning the art and science of learning to write. Just remember what I've suggested in some of my other articles. "You Learn To Write By Writing"! The more you write the better you will become in expressing yourself in the written word. Writing will help you build your business quicker than any other single method you can do in your promotional efforts.

Should You Write Your Own Content?

2010-07-28T17:17:00.001-05:00

The content of your website should fully detail what your business opportunity is all about. If must describe your opportunity in simple yet non technical wording that the average reader can easily follow and understand. Having a lengthy content that is more hype than facts is a major turn off to most users. Your content must cover a broad spectrum of information yet be non threatening and pushy in the opinion of the user. The internet was designed to provide realistic information about products and services so trying to use the internet for strictly an automatic sales tool will probably backfire and blow up in your face.

Your content in your website, blog, forum or marketing article should be designed with the user in mind providing information that in relevant to the desires and needs of the end user. Of course in this process you must keep in mind the search engines and provide good relevant content so the search engines can index your site in the proper keyword categories. Your content should be well written and interesting enough to capture the attention of your readers and keep their interest to the last words of your writing.

If you write an article with good relevant content clearly explaining the features and benefits of your business opportunity will definitely improve the chances of the readers being interested enough in your writings to visit your website and see the full details of what you are offering. The more traffic you can generate to your site the greater chance of developing a new clients business. New clients spend money and isn't that what this gig is all about? Making money online will become the huge reward for a job well done.

By writing some great articles with good rich content you will start to see the search engines displaying your website higher and higher in the page ranking when users type in their queries in the search bar of Google, Yahoo and Bing and some of the other fine search engines, the search engines will soon display your site with higher replies based on the good keywords you've used in your writings.

Many people can't write or maybe just don't want to write articles or content for their websites. That's fine as long as you get someone to write for you. There are ghost writers who make a living online by writing good content for multiple clients. Either you must write or hire someone to do it for you since this is how the search engines indexes every site you see online. Needless to say a ghost writer may not be as familiar with what you need to publish as you are, however, some content is better than no content in this scenario.

Once you learn the art and science of marketing and incorporate article writing into your daily chores you will see substantial results in your website popularity, your link popularity will increase remarkably and you will start getting hits to your site in larger numbers. Make sure you are prepared for this influx of traffic and potential clients. Know your product or services like the back of your hand and be well informed about your competition. The one who has the most knowledge, affordable products and follow up support will be the business who will capture the new customers business.

If you hire a writer you can get some good writers that will charge a minimal fee for their writing services. Fees will run from 4-5 dollars for a 250 word article to maybe $10 for an 800-900 word article. If you consider your time valuable at all, this is an affordable alternative you may want to consider. These writers can be found easily on line with varying degrees of knowledge. A good ghost writer will do the research, write the article, proofread and even let you take the credit for the content. What a deal!

When you contact these writers, most of them are more than willing to send you some samples of their recent writings. Ask them to email you one of their latest articles and question their credentials of success.

In Conclusion: Learn to write and write often. If you don't like to write or just don't have the time then by all means hire the services of a good ghost writer. If you need professional help then don't hesitate to ask for some help. Going this road alone may result in a huge disaster, however, letting the professionals help you when you need it can be extremely rewarding.

Identifying the Right Keywords!

2010-07-27T13:50:00.001-05:00

Identifying the right keywords for your next website or promotional campaign is a critical step in the overall success. Since the search engines places such great emphasis on good rich relevant keywords in their algorithms, it become vitally important to have the very best keywords and keyword phrases in every campaign you do. Identifying the keyword that best described your opportunity and are specific to your business is always the best, however, if the keyword or phrases is too competitive you may want to rethink your choices of the keyword(s) you want to use in your promotion.

A good way to find keyword choices is to visit some of your competitors sites and see what keywords they are promoting. Making a list of your products or services will help you get a better handle on what you may need to pursue for your keywords. Less popular keywords are sometimes easier to earn higher ranking much quicker than going for the most popular words and terms. Using different variations of a keyword or phrase sometimes will work well for your current promotion. Using hyphenated words, plurals and synonyms can give you a broader base of popular keywords that is overlooked many times by your competition.

If all else fails you might want to consider using some form of Keyword Tool designed to help you in this chore of selecting the right keywords. If you don't want to spend the money, then you might want to contact your mentor, consultant or webmaster and see if they have such a program they could do this chore for you and you could pay them a small service fee. Don't be afraid to spend some money once in a while and get professional help as needed. The overall differences you experience with just this one example could generate enough additional income and traffic to justify what you paid for this information.

Next you must address the way you are going to use these keywords in your overall campaign as well as in the content of your website. Make sure you include some of your keywords in the title meta tag, the description meta tag and of course in the keyword meta tag area of your source code. If you don't understand where these elements are and what their purpose is, then by all means seek the assistance of your marketing professional. These areas are the first place the search engines spiders look so they can index your site in the proper categories in order to match your site to the queries submitted by internet users who search for your business opportunity.

Placing your keywords strategically throughout the content of your website is another way to get the search engines to rank your website higher. Make sure you use some of your most important keywords in the first paragraph of your website. This will also help in the page rankings of your site.

Any one of these simple suggestions will help your ranking positions, however by using all of these small details the overall effectiveness of your campaign will be enhanced substantially. By using some form of a meta tag generator this process can be simplified considerably. Again if you don't want to spend the money for such a program, then secure the services of your marketing professional. If you're going to stay in this business and do a lot of promoting then either way your money will be well spent.

Now that you've gone through the process of doing some extensive keyword research, made sure you've positioned your selected keywords and phrases in the proper place within your source code and content of your website and you're totally comfortable with your new website, now comes the ongoing chore of promoting your website on the internet.

It is recommended that you hand index your URL to the top three search engines on any new site or information you're promoting. Since a high percentage of people search the big three I limit my submission to those three only and submit them manually. Then with some my automated systems I will include some more of the other popular engines with an automated submission.

Since it takes normally 4-6 weeks or longer for many of the search engines to spider a site and include the information of that new site in their data base, it's important to hand index to some engines in order to get a head start on the waiting period mentioned above. Re-submissions on a regular monthly basis is highly recommended so your site will remain fresh in front of the search engine robots. Submitting to the engines more frequently than the 30 day recommendations may result in the search engines considering it as spamming and the search engines will penalize you severally. In severe cases the engines will ban your website from the internet for a year or more.

In Conclusion....Do your keyword research thoroughly and make sure you include your primary keywords in the title, description and keyword tags in the source code of your site. Include your keywords and phrases in the content of your website and avoid keyword stuffing. Promote your site to the search engines on a regular basis each month. If you need help don't be ashamed to ask for help from the professionals.

Article Marketing vs Conventional Promotion Methods!

2010-07-25T07:31:00.001-05:00

In many of our articles in the last few weeks we've been sharing with you some valuable information about marketing in general. Many of our articles have been about Article Marketing and the role many experts feel this segment of online marketing will play in the next big internet boom. In today's article we want to get more specific about how Article Marketing can affect the popularity of your business opportunity with the user as well as the search engines. Of course the main goal here is to maximize efforts for generating additional traffic and converting new traffic into paying customers.

The question is often asks "What is Article Marketing Anyway?" I think it can be best described as a method of promoting your business opportunity through a website, blog or other electronic media for the purpose of generating more targeted traffic to your website, then converting those new found prospects into sales for your products or service, subscribers to your newsletter or followers in general that one day may become your next best customer.

In my opinion Article Marketing has a twofold purpose. First of all this method of marketing is an excellent way to consistently provide new content to your website, blog, newsletter or other forms of promotion activities that you normally would use to promote your business opportunity.

Second of all you are attempting to capture the attention of the two most important segments of online marketing. First of all the user who hopefully will be turned on with your good relevant information and purchase your products or services and secondly the Search Engines whose job it is to place your website in a high page rank positions so when users look for your niche market in a Google search you will be positioned such that you will generate additional business and income as a result of the information you provided in your articles.

Keeping your potential clients informed with new articles providing solutions regarding the customer's immediate needs will sometimes make the big difference regarding the success or failure of your business. By writing good keyword rich articles the search engines will pick up your information as new content and move your page ranks up to where your site will be seen more by the users. Article marketing through directories has been the most powerful marketing tool I've been privileged to use compared to other conventional method of promotion I've ever used in the past.

By capturing the attention of the big three search engines and gaining those coveted high positions with Google. Yahoo and Bing you will experience a growth that other methods of promotion can't compete with. One huge advantage here is the quality and quantity of the links that this form of promotion generates. By publishing your articles in an Article Directory you will experience an ever increasing number of back links that will make your site more popular and recognizable by the search engines as well as being read by more potential prospects.

The increase in the amount of traffic to your site is dependent on several different factors.

1. Does your topic of your article cover important information about your product or services or is your content more of a general discussion format?

2. Have you targeted a particular segment of the market, or again have you become too generalized in your writings about your business opportunity?

3. Is there a fair percentage of the market that has a need for what you're trying to promote and writing about? If there is no market for your service, you're wasting your time.

4. What is the competition for your product or service and can you compete for the users business with quality products and competitive prices?

There are no specific answers to these generalized questions since every marketing campaign it totally different and has their own unique characteristics. It's going to take some research on your part to set some specific values for your campaign and find the answers regarding your specific opportunity.

Article Directories has made this process so much easier than it used to be. Owning your own article directory is the answer that many successful marketers have chosen as their ultimate solution for promoting and marketing their businesses online.

These owners are experiencing some extremely positive results with their own articles popularity as well as with other professional authors who have signed up in their directory and have become contributing authors as well. With the amount of different categories offered in an article directory you can target a larger number of different segments of the marketplace that otherwise have been untouchable with conventional methods of advertising and promotion.

Take advantage of the RSS feeds in these directories and see your business take on new directions you never even dreamed about. If you're not familiar with all the advantages of Article Directories then take some time and do a bit of research and see if this method of promotion will work for you and your business.

In Conclusion....Take a really serious look at the advantages of Article Marketing and see for yourself how owning your own Article Directory can assist you in new avenues of profit and success in your business.
