BUSINESS ON A BUDGET (INTERNET MARKETING FOR FINANCIAL FREEDOM)

The Real Web 2.0

2008-04-10T20:22:00.000-07:00

Here's an interesting take on the if you 'build it they will come/make them come to you' approach...

The spider too, makes its customers come to her.

'A spider never wants for food. It finds a harmless looking little corner to build its web, and while busying itself with other tasks, awaits its prey.'

Similarly, for your little corner of the market, build your special interest blog or site. Then busy yourself with other tasks, awaiting like minded folks.

In other words, don't be a jack of all trades and master of none!

But that is not the end, the author continues to regale us

'Highly effective info-product selling works the same way. You make yourself visible in the places your target prospects are likely to find you, and lure them into your web with free content.

Like the spider, you personally attend only to the very best prospects that have fully ensnared themselves, while automating your interaction with the rest.

Once inside, your systems draw each prospect/customer deeper and deeper into your web in a series of graduated steps, each one increasing the level of commitment.

To make them come to you requires a soft sell. You haunt the periphery of their existence, appearing in different places, never approaching them, but continually teasing them to betray their interest by requesting specific information from you.

To them, this information is just"

This is the real web 2.0! Wondering what in the world web 2.0 is? Well...stay tuned. We are going to give your business a much needed marketing make over!

The following definition from Wikipedia should help

Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies (social bookmarking, social marketing, social media marketing).

According to Tim O'Reilly, who is largely credited for coining the term:
“ Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.”

OK…So web 2.0 is

Blogging
Craigslist
Social BookMarking (MySpace,Technorati, Digg, Delicious, Reddit, FaceBook)
Social Media Marketing (Video Sharing – {YouTube}, Podcasts, Syndication)

You want someone to explain exactly how to use these sites and maximize the return of invested time and effort.

Free Classified Ads Are Very Effective for Internet Marketing, IF You Know How!

If you are on a tight budget and have lots of time, try this strategy for Craigslist. It is important to know, with any free advertising forum,

*you have to work hard at it
*you have to post a lot of ads on a daily basis
*you have to write effective ads
*you need to follow a strategy or system

The biggest challenge facing affiliate/network marketers and Direct Sales persons when it comes to advertising on CraigsList is preventing your ads from being flagged/deleted. Craigslist uses ebots that scan ads for similar text and when they find one, out it goes!

This is easily resolved by using image ads! Craigslist ebots cannot see text saved as an image.

Additionally, using a different IP address will prevent
Craigslist from bumping your ad. An IP Address is a string of numbers based on the exact location of your computer and internet connection. You can check to see what your IP address is by going to www.whatismyipaddress.com.

You will need to post exactly 10 ads per day to Craigslist using different email accounts, subject lines, and ad content! AVOID THIS HASSLE BY LEARING TO POST IMAGE ADS! The advantage of changing your IP address is that you can get away with posting more ads. YAY!

NEXT TIME I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS OF CREATING IMAGE ADS. STAY TUNED!

LIGHTS, CAMERA...CASH!

2008-03-27T00:22:00.000-07:00

Looking to have your video go viral? Well half the battle is content and production. This constitutes the bulk of your efforts. As such, it worthy of comment. Content referring to your message and Production refers to graphics, lighting and the fun Hollywood stuff!

Objective:
Make your creation something worth remarking. It is buzzable?! That which creates a buzz effectively conveys your message. There are about 10 major content categories that are likely to bring you great returns! There is no need to re-invent the wheel! Utilize the following proven content categories to package your message. You can be guaranteed that your message will be far reaching in its effects!

10 Characteristics Of Popular & Profitable Videos

1. Funny – Henry David Thoreau penned the words “ Most “Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” As such a good laugh generates buzz! Funny is a high ranking keyword. Funny gets talked about, funny gets referenced, funny gets passed along. Don’t believe me here are a few videos e.g, evolution of dance, Will Ferrell’s the Landlord! (you gotta see these they are hilarious). Funny videos have the greatestes likihood of going viral- get cracking!
2. Weird/Avante Garde– The Bizarre, The Macabre has a huge following! Cult movies anyone? Your video will get noticed, just stay away from the morbid and macbre. May I suggest good touch, bad touch. It is a good mix of weird and funny!
3. Inspiring – Warm fuzzies, can do attitude…these do very well to lift the heads of the weary and down trodden! These videos are loveable because in their very nature boost morale! As we now know, lives of quiet desperation need inspiration! Stories of inspiration are always a good commodity. Anything inspiring can become extremely popular, extremely fast. An example was the ‘Interview With God’ presentation, which was before the time of YouTube is a great example. Similar to this is Randy Pausch "Last Lecture."
4. Shocking – Shock factor sells! What more need I add? Just be tasteful. Tube on the member is so 2001!
5. Interesting – Curiosity can be a powerful sales device in getting people from your video to your website. Anytime you can prick the curiosity of a viewer and make them want to learn more about you and your product, it is a good thing. When you successfully generate curiosity in your video viewer, you give them an itch which must be scratched. Creating curiosity may be especially useful considering that users who find your video on YouTube will actually have to take the effort to type in the URL and visit the site you are promoting.
6. Sexy – SEX SELLS! Again tasteful is the key here. A personal favorite for me is Are Attractive Women Attracted to Mlmers? Sexy has never been a stumbling block to selling.
7. Personal – Reality TV is such a hit, why we are all at some level Voyeurs. My personal favorite is Keeping Up With The Kardashians! Personal allows real insight to who you are. Additionally there is an element of funny, interesting, shock , bizzare and perhaps even sexy! Again we are just bored and tired of our lives, regale us!
8. Demonstrates/Instructional – Plain old How to…never fails! I came across a video with over half a million hits titled How to Make How to make a BristleBot - Evil Mad Scientist Laboratories. Truth be told, I do not know what a bristle-bot is, but it did catch my attention. These videos are very useful for those looking to brand themselves as experts. They allow you gain the trust of your audience as well as introduce your product.
9. Kitsch – refers to that which is considered to be in poor taste because of excessive garishness or sentimentality, but sometimes appreciated in an ironic or knowing way These videos contain one or more of the following qualities:
• Animal/pet tricks - man is drawn to animals just as he is to fire… it's hard to explain, but it seems to have to do with primitive wiring in the brain
• Cute kids - one of the draws of online video is that real people capture real moments, and nothing is as straightforward as a child just being herself (Star wars according to a 3 yr. Old is a must see)
• Repetitive, catchy music - certainly not a new concept, but with infinite channels come many more opportunities to put up the experimental jingle
10. Gross – Let is it be said there is a difference between gross and disgusting. Boogers for example is gross and could be used effectively to make a sale! ‘Fear Factor’ have been popular in the U.S. for quite sometime, use it as a guide!
As with any marketing effort, be remarkable AND communicate your message. Use the right package to make your video a hit, but don't create a vehicle without passengers. Make sure the content is doing what it supposed to do.

YOU TUBE MY SPACE…How do I reach The Masses?

2008-03-25T02:17:00.000-07:00

The hype of video sharing sites is related to the word “FREE!”
Yes it is free to upload your video…that just about it. REMEMBER Nothing comes from nothing, nothing ever could…The trick, the art form here lies in being able to reach your target market/audience and then getting people to share your video – a concept commonly referred to as video viral marketing !

I am going to be kind to you and help you out a bit!

Creating a video is a composite function of four interrelated parts, which add up to 100. These parts are Content, Metatags, Thumbnails and Promotion! The aforementioned interrelated parts are integral in assisting you to communicate your message so that is has reach - this is the essence of virology!

50% Content = Content is the basic story line (your subject matter). It is your message. Along with content, there Production. Production involves style, lighting, graphics you know the fun Hollywood stuff!,

15% MetaTags = Metatags include the text title of your masterpiece, your very valued keywords, descriptions, and categories that help people find your video.

20% Thumbnail = Thumbnail refers to visual merchandinzing. It is the art of window dressing that draws you into your favorite clothing store, where you drop the bucks you swore you didn’t have in the first place! Catch my drift? So it is the packaging which, draws people in when displayed on the page!

15% Promotion = Well for lack of a better term…it refers to getting the word out a.k.a marketing.

But reach itself is insufficient. Your message must create an emotional connection with your target audience. WHY? It is your call to action! And what does this accomplish? It falls upon you my friend to motivate your viewers to pass the videos to other likeminded people!!!!! Viral Marketing rocks when done well! Catch me next time as I explain how you can capitilize. In the meantime, do get your own copy and begin this wondrous journey!

You Tube My Space, OH YEAH BABY!

2008-03-24T00:26:00.000-07:00

Should you include Video Marketing your marketing arsenal?
If I have to answer that question, clearly you in the wrong place! Do not even think about excluding video marketing. My last blog entry had to do with Article Marketing and the option it allows you to reach 500,000+.

The Interactive Advertising Bureau indicates that more than 50% of the US population will watch video online in 2008. That is approximately 155.2 million people. TRAFFIC, FREE MLM LEADS, SALES!

That said, online video is clearly one of the best venues in which to engage an audience of your peers and target market! Most people you meet are going to be audio-visual learners. They need to see and hear in order to get the message. Video allows you multilevel (no pun intended) communication, your platforms include visual imagery, spoken word, visual text and music! As you can see the possibilities are endless.

Video Marketing allows you access and reach to a mammoth audience, with little or no investment. Done correctly, the results are phenomenal! Statistics indicate, according to comScore, in July of 2007 Americans watched 9 billion online videos.

Now before you jump off and start uploading videos on You Tube remember, the key isn’t so much making a video…you need to define your target market. Viral marketing is not easy feat. So how do you compel your viewers to watch and send? STAY TUNED…!

Writing articles:
1. Is a great method for to get exposure for contacts, customers or clients, you expose yourself to thousands, even millions if you get your information on the right site.
2. Submission them is free.
3. It is Not time intensive (and you can delegate said duty, but I have a better option).
4. It is a very effective means of establishing yourself as an authority in your field. (The More articles the better!)
5. You become ranked quickly through the major and minor search engines-world wide domination anyone?

Top 3 Reasons Why Network Marketers Fail

"95% OF PEOPLE FAIL WHEN THEY START A BUSINESS WITHOUT A SYSTEM.

95% PERCENT OF PEOPLE ARE SUCCESSFUL WHEN THEY START A BUSINESS WITH A SYSTEM! "
- Entrepreneur Magazine

A system constitutes a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.

If your system involves the 3-foot rule, list of 100 or more, hotel meetings, 3-ways, everyone with a pulse is your prospect, repeat! It is time to re-group!

2. Lack of Long Term Vision: Riches are rarely accrued over a 3-day, 1-month or 9-month period. Think big, thing long term, look beyond your nose. Understand the principles of tracking your efforts, split testing as means of determining the best Return on Investment. You see if you do not know where you came from, how could you possibly predict where you are going and what you will need to do to accomplish your goals?
3. Planning: essential for anyone looking to succeed in any worthwhile venture. In this phase you determine your time commitment and your office hours ( recommended 8-10/week), marketing budget ($300-$500/month) statistics indicate that low cost marketing efforts take seven times as long to yield results. You identify your target market-who is most likely to use your product or service. You also determine what marketing methods you will implement (5-Point Prospecting is highly recommended). You create your customer/downline retention strategy.
4. Action: Busy work, surfing the net, responding to email, while necessary administrative tasks, do not constitute business-building activity. The action your looking for is face time in front of the prospect. It is activity that puts money in your pocket. Anything else is inconsequential.
5. Training: The power of knowledge comes in its application. Imagine you have been invited to a meeting; the speaker announces that you have been selected at random to become a Plastic Surgeon. Consider the number of botched cases and the media frenzy that would result. Would you seriously going jump into something without the proper training, practice and confidence that will be necessary to execute?

Treat your business with the professionalism that it demands.
Keep abreast of the latest marketing techniques, improve sales skills and read relevant material.
Financial freedom, is not an event or a destination, it is a SKILL! Make it your quest to master the principles of financial freedom.

The Science of Getting Rich

"The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.

It is natural law that; like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich."- Wallace D. Wattles

YOU: ASSEST OR LIABILITY TO YOURINTERNET BUSINESS?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The year? 1903. Wilbur and Orville Wright are struggling to fly the worlds’ largest plane at Kitty Hawk, NC. Concurrently, Samuel Pierpont Langley with the aid of a large body of staff likewise is attempting to build an airplane.

Mr. Langleys’ assumption? If I put a big enough engine on the airplane, it will fly. Thusly, he focused all his energy on this one project of creating a powerful engine for the plane.
(Does this remind you of yourself? Are you a struggling marketer? Just joined what could be the biggest opportunity of your life time and focusing all your energy on Lists of 100? Maybe it is Daily Hotel Mtgs? Perhaps chasing down friends and Family? No you are much too savvy for that, you are going for the Heavy Hitters- the 3 people who have made it big that will definitely build your downline for you…hmmm)

The Wright Brothers’ approached the situation with the idea of building a glider that would glide off a hilltop without the aid of an engine. They focused their energy on balance and steering. How the device would be powered was merely an after thought. Only after it worked with no power would they attempt to put an engine on it.

(You see the engine was not the foundation of the plane. The plan was to fly, figure out the dynamics and then power it. In your case,
Making Money is the plan, figure this out and the rest will come, leads, family and friends practically banging down on your door, credit card in hard ready to buy, ready to work with you. Well did Henry David Thoreau intend when he penned the following words, “If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”)

After three years of tedious experimentation the glider was working well, so they commissioned Charlie Taylor- a bicycle shop machinist to build the engine. It was the best engine he could design-twelve horsepower unit that weighed 180 pounds.

It goes without saying, the Wright Brothers changed the face of history. Few have ever heard of Samuel Pierpont Langely! Their approach of making the plane fly before applying high power was the more superior option. It yielded great results.

Langley had spent most of four years building an extraordinary engine to lift their flying machine. The Wrights has spent most of four years building a flying machine so artfully designed that it could be propelled into the air by a fairly ordinary internal combustion engine-Smithsonian Magazine, April 2003

Remember, Financial Success is not an event, is a skill!

Skill comes by the constant repetition of familiar feats rather than by a few overbold attempts at feats for which one is yet poorly prepared - Wilbur Wright

So how does this apply to you? I attend almost daily a training class of interest to me on a subject matter I am not familiar with. I read materials about things I do not know. I am a student of the ordinary, fascinated by the mysteries! Recently, I attended a phenomenal Internet Marketing and Website Development training by one Ben Pavlow, I share with you his time proven golden nuggets!

Prepare to receive 100fold:-

1. Always give 10times the value i.e., always under-promise, but always over deliver.
2. Spend 10hrs/week learning the things you do not know about what you are doing. 3-ways to uplines are Ok at the beginning, but really you need to be master/mistress of your business.
3. 10 times your monthly investment is going to be your ROI. What this means is if you spend for example $300/month on leads, you can reasonably expect a return of $3,000! STOP THINKING IN TERMS OF I AM SPENDING MONEY. YOU ARE INVESTING MONEY. You and Your business are investments.
4. 10/month on personal/self development e.g., learn to dance, learn to make video, learn to speed read. Do not become complacent, continue to improve upon you. Building a business is about making money, but more importantly, it is ultimately about the person you become in the process. The business may fail, but you will thrive because of the skills you develop.
5. 10 new ideas a month, executed. Put your ideas on paper, follow through, make it happen. Some of the silliest ideas are the worlds biggest cash cows. Post Its anyone????

Thanks Ben Pavlow!

How You Can Get A Piece of This $25 Billion Dollar Action FREE!

2008-03-07T16:09:00.001-08:00

Research on online buying and selling (which is the wave of the future if did not already know), indicates $25 billion is lost every year due to (website usability), issues (source: Zona Research).

Usability, what is that? Means if I visit your site, how easy it to navigate? Is it appealing? How can I contact you? Does your site exude trustworthiness or are you just trying to scam me and make a quick buck? What about the color scheme ? Gothic themes do not inspire one to purchase!

Just by taking in these consideration and effecting change on you website, did you know that you, owner of the average e-commerce site could (increase your sales), by 79% with a usability redesign (source: Jakob Nielsen)

E-commerce sites commonly drive away nearly half of repeat business by making it difficult for visitors to find the information they need (source: Harley Manning).

Did you join an internet business to get on the phone? I didn't think so.
95% of people don't have a clue how to generate real traffic and real prospects to a website. So what good is having a website?

The back offices are watered down and then they tell you to buy and call leads, make lists of 100 and lets not forget the 3- Foot rule (albeit a great rule that has been incorrectly applied)! I will show you not only where to advertise but exactly what to say word for word. You can't help but flood your site with traffic. You must learn everything about getting traffic that converts to sales.

Now you are just asking yourself how can I cash in… "What If I Told You That You, Yes YOU Can Increase Your Profits by 100%, 200% or Even More Than 1287% Without Working Any Harder? Would You Let me Show You How To Do It?"

SECRET FORMULA (TRAFFIC + (CONVERSION), = MORE SALES)!!!!!

Web 2.0/Social Media Marketing is the way of marketing FREE, getting mega, massive, qualified leads to your website and getting more sales …BUT you need a site that functions at 1287% capacity!

What Value Is There In Marketing Via Social Marketing Sites?

Are you are peddling products and/or services, publishing content for ad
revenue (blogging), or looking to be selfish and self promote or just plain brand yourself as an Internet Marketing guru? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you
it falls upon you to be master and commander of most potent method that will make your site profitable over time Social Media Marketing.

Social Media Marketing is the process of promoting your site or business
via social media channels. It is a powerful strategy that will get you links, attention
and massive amounts of targeted traffic ,. These channels include, but are not exhaustive;
Social Sites (My Space, Face Book, Linked In, Meet Up), Blogs, Book Marking, Content sharing (Squidoo), Video Sharing (You Tube) and Articles etc.

There does not exist to my knowledge, a cheaper, low cost, or even no cost self
promotional avenue in the advertising world that will give you maximum exposure.
This exposure social media marketing, will give you an abundance of visitors otherwise known as mega qualified, targeted traffic, many of whom will fall under the class of repeat
visitors, i.e., they will likely return to your website again and again and again.
No need to mention this is Nirvana to an Internet Marketer – You are in this for
the money right?

Don’t think Social Media Marketing is of any benefit? Well it should come as no surprise to
you that Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama has conquered this scene.
For the longest while he had been trailing Sen.Hilary Clinton, however because
of being aware of hip and happening methods being used by the majority of people
he is looking to bring into his camp, suffice it to say, he is on top for a reason.
Don’t knock Social Marketing until you try it. Still don’t believe me, well how is it
that Tila Tequila, largely unknown, landed her own show on VH1? Hmmm…. You Tube, My Space anyone???.

Are you in the know? Or don’t you know and would like to know? There are those
who ask what happened these are the ones for example do not know anything about
social marketing or worse still those who don’t believe in the value that a social media strategy can bring to any site or business. What… there is an internet? Then there are those who know what happened, in Social Media Marketing Lingo, they are aware, have an account, keep up with friends sometimes. Outside this limited use they haven’t the slightest on how to integrate this medium into their small internet marketing business. Then there are those who know what happened, why because they were part of the revolution…Tila Tequila anyone?
