Websites are what I look after, not the economy, so what gives me the right to voice my opinion out of my area of expertise?
From keeping my eyes and ears open I’ve noticed that, people don’t seem to be buying new houses; they’re doing-up the ones they already have. People aren’t glibly looking for the next best job; they’re using recruitment agencies to get them a job now they’re unemployed. Businesses don’t have a website for prestige: they want the site to do what it was meant to do in the first place, generate an income.
Back to the first point, have you ever seen as much scaffolding festooning our streets, surely in the not so long past, this work would not have taken place, no one had time to notice the damaged roof, guttering or flaky paint job, they were too busy sorting out their new buy to let, or moving on to a bigger and of course more expensive property.
Now jobs, there seemed to be a time when everyone thought it was there right to flit between jobs, moving onwards and upwards. Recruitment agencies were often looked at with derision, not now, they have become a necessity, they seem to be pulling jobs out of thin air; but of course now we’re finding there’s not many qualified to do these jobs, how did we manage before?
Finally websites, for far too long the web optimiser, usability expert, and copywriter had been asked what it is they actually do. Admittedly the industry is in its infancy so heaven knows what it will bring us in the future, but in this infancy there’s been a set of rules, be these rules a little confusing and arguable at times, to help websites climb to the top of the search engines: i.e. Google, Yahoo!, Ask, Bing &c, by optimising the coding, making a site easy to use and ensuring sites have useful and well written content.
It was here that all the problems arose; no one was going to pay to have someone carry out work they didn’t understand on their website they’d ‘almost’ forgotten about, were they?
This has all changed now, and we can understand why, it’s not just small websites which are completely off the search engine radar, major company websites are in this dilemma too, and they want fixing and fixing today. Unfortunately as with every time there’s a seeming abundance of work for the well trained, new marketers’ pop-up to offer their services.
This brings me back to my earlier points and sums up the point of this article; everyone was an entrepreneur when it came to the property market, that next job wasn’t really from the frying and into the fire, and of course I’ve read the books, got some tools, I’m now a fully fledged website guru.
There are specialists in all fields, it’s just a pity everyone doesn’t appreciate this until it’s too late.

Lots of companies do the following mistake - invest to the creation and design of the website, but do not reserve any investment to marketing and updating the content. Then the bosses of the company come to one of employees and tell to make it popular and always updated. Employees are lost, as they simply do not know what to do. Here is some advice to such type of employees who just got the huge burden - represent the company Online.
There is a saying “a good beginning is half work”, but it cannot be applied to the website building. Creating a corporate website or website with services and products presentations is just 10% of the job. The rest 90% is marketing the website.
Updated content - the key to success
The website which is not changed at least 1 time a month is doomed. Think any reason to update it every week. The best way to update the site is writing some news about new projects, acquisitions, cooperation, new employees who joined from other companies (experts of their field only), financial results if public, new company staff activities (for examples all employees agreed to support some ecology project or spent weekend helping some people in need community), etc. If you have listed your 20 services in 1 page, please consider describing each service in a separate page and link to it from a list. This will create you additional content and will increase the possibility, that you will get more traffic from search.
Company blog should be updated at least once a week. The blog is more unofficial venue, therefore content can be written from first person. Also if there are no any ideas, some interesting videos can be collected in Youtube with funny advertisements of your market products and services. Also Some research presentations from SlideShare can be added with a short introduction texts. This way you will be able to keep the blog updated and most important INTERESTING to read.
If company website has got blogging options - even better as there the blog can be written by few employees sharing some expertise on the field you work in. If you can invest little more in improving the website, please consider launching the Wordpress based company blog. You do not need to make new design as you can adjust the themes of Wordpress to your corporate style. The only expenses can be the subdomain redirection to blog.yourcompany.com and hosting.
If you can convince your network of people to tell more about your company to their relatives, friends and colleagues, you have reached your goal. Simple example. You told your 10 friends about your brand how good it is. They have told their 10 friends about your brand because it seemed really good. How many people now think that your brand is good? 10+10×10=110 people. Imagine you have convinced 100 of your so called social network “friends” who has also at least 100 “friends”, so you can easily reach the audience of 100+100×100=10,100. I did not consider the 3rd level of information which you cannot see and control anyway, but still it adds even more audience. Of course, these counting are theoretical as not all of these people will see the message and visit the link to your website, however they will remember your brand name.
The networks of friends are available in majority of social networks. Another issue is personalization. In most of social networks you are requested to be yourself as real person with real name and surname. In this case, make sure that you present yourself as representative of the company. Just write “I work for company X and here is the website for more information” in your profile. Facebook is the best social network for company branding as it has FaceBook Pages feature allowing to speak on behalf of your company. Create the page for your brand and update it every day (or at least 2-3 times a week). Post some links, videos, pictures, funny cartoons etc. just to update your fans with some information. Make sure the time is right, because no one will see your message if you post it when everyone go to bed.
Use Twitter to update your followers with the newest content updates. If people ask for help, you can use your Twitter account as customer support. Some huge companies (I have in mind Zappos success story) already used that and received lots of attention and traffic.
You can spend up to half an hour a day to login to 3-5 different social networks and do some activities if time is a problem.
Blog Comments - discuss topics you like and promote your brand
Blog is a place for discussion. Someone initiates and expects comments. Almost all blogs has comment forms where you need to enter your name (you may try to enter the name from company, for example “John from Company X” or “Katie of Brand X”), email (optional) website and comment text. Make a goal to yourself - set number (for example 3 per day) of comments posted in blogs you read. Make comments about anything you want, express your own personal opinion, but do not mention your website URL in comment text. Comments should be critique, confusion, excitement, suggestions, but never “Nice blog”, “I think the same too”, “Well done! Good luck in future!”. Such type of comments will be deleted and you may be banned as spammer, so will not be able to comment in the same blog again. If you can participate in discussion, please participate, because bloggers love when readers fight just below their blog post. With the time you will find your favorite blogs and will become a regular commenter, so other regular commenters will recognize you. New people will observe your discussion and will try to find out who you are by clicking on your name which directs to your website. Mission accomplished - you have traffic from comments.
Beware of writing curses or not appropriate issues as this does not help to keep good reputation for you and your company/brand. Find some blogs about the industry you work with, so you will be able to show the level of your expertise in comments. Keep in mind that some companies who are looking for partnership make investigation about some brand visibility in the social media, therefore they can find you.
The same principles can be applied to various forums. There you will not have the link to your website, but some of forums allow that in signatures (some have the rule that you can add signature only when you collect lots of messages).
You can spend up to half an hour a day or even less if you already are a regular commenter.
Social networks - free traffic
Hopefully you work in a company with mild security policy allowing you to have your account in Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, FriendFeed etc. If you are buried below various firewalls and blocked ports with some internet content blocks (personal email, Youtube and other social network content may be distracting you from your direct work), I am sorry, but either you will need to promote your company at home or do not do this at all. If you are allowed to communicate easily and spread the word about your company and your brand and in some cases you are paid extra for that, please use all possible channels for that. But do it little by little otherwise your good will to let people know about your company services can become a regular spam.
The biggest social networks are Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. If your company works in some local market, please find a local social networks as they may have even bigger audience and traffic than these global ones.
What you need to do there? Just collect as much friends as possible. Remember your high school classmates, college friends, former colleagues, family members. Also look for people who have similar interests. Get into “friendship” with people from competitor companies. Once you have some friends, you can start providing some specific information about what you do, what values your brand has, what are some industry news. Suddenly some links to your website pages appear among these links and resources, so it does not seem like spam.
Remember the golden rule:
You advertise your brand not to your friends, but to Friends of your Friends
Social bookmarking - not big but still traffic
Social bookmarking sites are those where you can submit the link. Voting for the link make it more popular and higher in the lists. You may know some most popular social bookmarking sites: Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Reddit, Mixx, Yahoo! Buzz (and 20 others). The best option is to find local or interest based social bookmarking sites as they attract the specific audience from your country and even with some particular interest.
Once you add the link, make sure you do not copy the text from the page you are adding as description. Write your own with some intrigue. If you tell everything what is in your page, people will not be interested. Another step is voting for such link. Please make a mailing list of your colleagues and friends who may vote for this link just because you have added it. Try to have your voters in different places as there may be 1 voter per IP restrictions, so your entire company may have 1 vote only. Some of social bookmarking sites require registering. Please ask your friends to register once so next time they will not need to do that again. Sometimes publish the page of your link in social bookmarking site in other social networks - Twitter, Facebook, MySpace etc. it may attract people who did not trust your links and did not click them on purpose.
Do not push your links too actively - your links may be voted as spam, so you and even your website can get banned for such “diligence”. Please set some schedule of social bookmarking link posts. For example on Monday you post 1 your website link to Delicious and 1 non your website link to StumbleUpon; Tuesday - 1 your website link to StumbleUpon and 1 non-your website to Digg etc.
news-sources
If your company has PR agency, well, let them work, but also suggest some additional sources.
If you have a blog about your industry, you can try to submit them to blog feed aggregators. Most popular worldwide news aggregators are Technorati.com, AllTop.com, POPurls.com. You can also find the local ones and interest based ones. There are some other blog feed aggregators where you can submit your blog RSS feeds.
Article writing can take up to 3 hours per week.
There are some more ways to promote your website for free, but it depends on your audience. If you can use the mentioned ones you can spend mostly 1.5 hour a day to advertise your website and business. Just plan some work and you can definitely make your business booming. The traffic counter will show where the traffic is driven from, so you can show it to your management and ask a bonus for this hard work. The main issue is that you will not spend a penny, just your costless time. Good Luck!
This work will take up to 15 minutes a day.
Articles about your business to other sites - good for branding
There are lots of article directories where you can publish your article in English. If your business is local, you should find some local ones. The articles should be creative and non-spam, so before publishing the article about your business please give it to read to some friends of yours who are not involved in your business. They can tell if they found this article boring, full of technical terms and advertisement of your website. 1 link to your website per article is absolutely enough.
Do not publish same article to 10 different article directories, because people will think that someone published stolen content. Also it is bad for search engines as Google does not like duplicated content.
If you have some serious news about your company, please arrange the press release. You can publish this press release to few Free Press Release sites. No need to publish it in 20 places. 5-8 is absolutely enough. Which of them are good? Actually all, but some are better than others. Those press release services which publish articles to Yahoo! News and Google News are the best. How you can know that? Just observe the sources in Google and Yahoo news. Google News is just one of most popular News Aggregators, so you could submit your website news to another ones.

Normally when I talk about testing and tracking in your business, I’m talking about testing and tracking your marketing efforts. The reason is that if you don’t test and track your efforts, you won’t know what marketing techniques you are using that are making you money.
However, there is also another form of testing and tracking you need to use in your business. I call this a general business analysis.
With the general business analysis, you take a complete assessment of your business to see what is making you money. This means analyzing everything.
The first place to start is with your product line. Which of your products are making you money? Which aren’t? Knowing which of your products are making you money will help you decide what products to create in the future.
Now, this doesn’t just cover subject matter. The subject of your products is very important. You need to pay particular attention to this. You also need to pay attention to the format you are creating.
Some of your customers may not want an ebook. Some won’t want books, or videos. The key here is to create each of your products in multiple formats, test them and then determine which ones are selling. Accomodate your customers and their needs for higher sales.
If you sell affiliate products, or you sell affiliate products in addition to your regular line of products, which ones are selling? Which ones aren’t?
It may sound like I’m repeating myself here, but I’m really not. If you sell only affiliate products, or you sell affiliate products in addition to your own products, you want see which ones sell best. For the ones that are selling, you want to concentrate on selling more of these types of products. Get rid of products that don’t sell for you. This will help you increase your profits and avoid wasting time on things that don’t sell.
Examine your marketing. Which techniques are you using? Which ones are making you money? In my business, I write articles and combine it with search engine optimization and linking. This combination works best for me and brings the most profits.
Don’t just eliminate techniques that don’t work though. You want to try as many different techniques as possible to find out what works best for you. Don’t limit yourself here.
You want to stick with what works in your business and get rid of what doesn’t. In order to do this though, you need to determine what is working first. Then, and only then can you find the formula that works for you.

Making money on the internet involves the use of some well thought out and effective marketing strategies. No matter what it is you’re trying to sell you will have to institute a multi-faceted marketing plan to establish and grow your business.
Marketing online requires that you not only promote to your targeted customer base but also focus on positioning yourself favorably with the search engines as well.
Let’s review 7 key core strategies you’ll need to include in your marketing mix to achieve success online.
Professional Looking Website
Your website is the window thru which the world will view your business. Keep your website clean and professional looking. Try not to go overboard on the graphics since this will only make your site load slower giving visitors the chance to click away.
Optimize Website for Search Engines
Be sure your website has a title, description, and utilizes keywords throughout that accurately reflect the site content. This is important so that search engines can use this information to display your site in any search results targeting content such as yours.
Collect Contact Information
List building is an important strategy that will pay you dividends well into the future. By collecting the names and contact info of those who have visited your site, you are saving yourself additional marketing efforts in the future.
List building allows you to repeatedly market to those who have shown an interest in your products in the past. Your list contains very highly targeted traffic and being you worked hard to get them to your site to begin with it makes sense not to waste that effort.
Promote to Your List
You collected names at your website for a reason so don’t waste the value of your list by not promoting to them. This could be one of the most effortless but most effective aspects of your entire marketing campaign.
Social Network Marketing
The growing popularity of social network marketing has taken the internet marketing community by storm. The power of viral marketing is one of the most efficient ways in which to market anything and the social networks offer plenty of that.
Write Articles
Article writing and press releases are another great way to spread the word about your business and these methods of marketing are free. Once submitted to the appropriate online directories your business is now on display for the entire internet community.
Post to a Blog
Posting to blog about your niche and your business is a great way in which to initiate interaction with the internet community and to build up a following. Blogs also are a great way to help boost your search engine ranking due to the fondness search engines have for the fresh content normally found on blogs.
The 7 marketing strategies we reviewed above will be instrumental in helping you to make money on the internet. It is important to be aware that marketing online will involve the use of many other strategies as well. However the ones discussed here will play a fundamental role in the success of your business and should always be included in your marketing plan.

Once you’ve decided to take the plunge, there is a lot of money to be made being an affiliate marketer. Working as an affiliate for an online merchant can lead to big commissions if you can regularly refer those all important clicks, leads or sales to the merchant’s site.
Successful affiliate marketers enjoy all of the benefits of working from home alongside a lucrative salary. Unlike many other home businesses, once the website is launched, being an affiliate marketer means enjoying a steady revenue stream.
Another benefit of being an affiliate marketer is not only being your own boss but enjoying the chance to be a true innovator in the marketing field. Cutting edge practices are what set the best affiliate marketers apart from the rest. As the visitors on the internet change even more rapidly than customers in other arenas, affiliate marketers often spend their time experimenting and even inventing new and exciting ways to target consumers.
With this comes much experimentation and frustration, but also the opportunity to create at an astonishing rate. This is a field full of visionaries to be sure. Of course, setting up a successful website is an intensive prospect, but if done well, the usual workday of an established affiliate marketer involves very little work, if any work at all. Your website becomes your company’s most valuable employee by actively compelling consumers to purchase goods or services from your partner merchant. Your website becomes your company’s most valuable employee by actively compelling consumers to purchase goods or services from your partner merchant.
So long as your website leads to sales, there’s no reason for you not to live your life and make money at the same time. You may also be faced with startup costs that you can not reasonably afford on your own. Do not discount the value of an investor to help launch your site at the beginning.
Being an affiliate marketer has with the hopes of limitless profit. That said, the success you seek will take time to accomplish. Only those willing to put in the time and possibly even the money to support their venture will be poised to reap the rewards.

Today I’m going to discuss about why some internet marketers have a really great success and why some failed miserably that people see them as a loser. I got this idea from the movie “Catch Me If You Can” that stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks acts as a cop in this movie and Leonardo DiCaprio acts as a thief, a famous and wonderful thief.
But that’s not what I’m going to talk about. I’m going to talk about Leonardo’s dad in the movie. I’m sure everybody remembers the story Leonardo’s dad tells when he was on the stage. I don’t remember it so well but never mind, I’ll just edit it a bit to fit our title.
The story goes like this, “Once upon a time, there were three mice (I think it’s two in the movie) that were really starving. They look out of their hole and saw an aggressive cat waiting to tear their lungs apart, but behind the cat was a big slice of cheese. Mouse number 1 said, “Hey, why don’t we try walking slowly towards the cheese. Maybe the cat won’t find out.” Out of desperation and hunger the other mouse replied, “Let’s do it.” The last one said, “Uh uh. I’m not going to do it. You guys will be killed, go and get yourself dead if you want to but I’m not.”
Read on, you are getting to the main point. The two mice that agree just embark on the biggest journey of their life. They were walking slowly while watching the cat and they didn’t look at what’s up front. They fell into a pail of milk where they started hitting, scratching, tried to swim in the milk. One minutes passed and one of the mouse starting to give up. He says, “I can’t do this anymore, I’ll die. What mouse number three said was right, we should just wait in the hole.” He gave up struggling. He sinks and he died. The other mouse just won’t give up. He keeps on struggling and struggling and guess what guys? Aha, he turned the pail of milk into butter. He survived and he gets tons of butter to eat.
Now, what does all that have to do with internet marketing? I know guys, hold on and let me explain. The mouse that was too scared to get out of the hole died of hunger. That’s what 60% of people in the world did. They were too scared trying new things, scared of scams, they had negative thoughts, and they don’t even bother to try it first. The moment they saw offers online, they will say “Ah, this is just a scam, they are making money out of me and I’m not so stupid.” Well, as a matter of fact, they are. They hate their own life but they are scared to try new ones. They are losers.
Mouse number two gave it a try, but he gave up in the end. That’s what 37% of people did. Life’s not a destination, it is a journey. You can’t stop trying until you’re dead. They’re good, they gave it a try. They had the courage to try something new, but they don’t have the will and the motivation to keep trying. They get eaten alive by the competition on Internet. They failed miserably.
The last one is the 3% of the people in the world that gets their own lifestyle. They lived the life they want. They’re those gurus in the business. Why? It’s not luck. The harder you work, the luckier you’ll get. So what is it? It’s simple. First, they have the courage to try new things. Second, they have the will and motivation not to give up when they run into obstacles but instead they fly higher and higher to overcome the obstacles. Third, they don’t make reasons

Instant messaging on social sites has also become popular and you can communicate with your friends and other people instantly.

You can also send personalized gifts to your business clients through social sites. Facebook allows its users to send virtual gifts which are worth $1. You can attach your own personalized message to these gifts. Facebook also launched a marketplace recently which allows people to post classified ads. These ads go a long way in helping your business get an edge over other competitive businesses. In fact these ads are often compared to ads in Craigslist. Howeever there is one major difference. The ads posted on social sites are seen only by members in a group or members who are authorized to see them while the ads on Craigslist can be seen by anyone.
The business profiles can also be separated in tabbed sections which provide a cleaner look to the user. One very good part of the popular social sites is that they have sections for different languages. Hence this closes the gap of understanding between people from different cultures and countries. Even graduates and undergraduates use these sites to plan their future and to make an initial foray into the business world.

Why I love the Affiliate Marketing? Because there are so many offers and some of them are so extremely funny, that I don’t need any other show to start every day with a good mood. I love the imagination of these guys. When I see titles starting with “unheard, unseen, amazing, unbelievable, ultimate, extra, ultra, monster, typhoon, secret, top secret, unbeatable, shadow, commando, ninja, greatest, biggest, safest, day job killer, fire your boss, underground, black hat, etc.”, I am attracted like a magnet to see what’s all about. When I see something about “deadly mistakes”, I am the first one who reads them, because the nature made me a coward creature, I have no hero stuff, I love my own life too much for loosing it because of a “deadly mistake” I could make on my website. Each and every of this offers teaches you how to get rich instantly without effort, from your home, in your undearwear or out of them, from your kitchen’s table, from your basement, from your bed, while you sleeping, from so many positions ands placements, that makes me wonder why there are still people who work normally, from “nine to five”. And the funny thing is that these titles are really catching.
Why I love the Affiliate Marketing? I signed up with Twitter three months ago, I didn’t moved a finger and I have more than 700 followers. I am honest with myself and with them and I follow back each and every Twitter user who follows me. And God, I love to follow them! When I see updates like “I Just Increased My Followers By Using The Twitter Method X”, tweeted by someone who gots only 7 followers, I imagine that the “X method owner must be proud by the effort of the poor guy. Who wouldn’t be proud by such publicity? I must confess that I have sinned once me too. One guy offered me an infailible system to gain thousands of followers by offering an ebook as incentive to retweet my free giveaway ebook, and the result was… I leave you to find a word to describe the result. I gained one follower, myself, and that because I tested the system. But the technique was infailible. I won the prize, the ebook that I was offering. When I see some guy who has only 23 followers but he already posted 294 updates, I lose my control. I can’t stop laughing. Sorry for those guys, anyway, I won’t give names, but if I would want to make a joke I wouldn’t be able to imagine such one. The record was a guy with 700 followers and 2954 updates. Not even famous tweeples with 30.000 followers are not so productives. I take off my hat in front of this guy, he must spend more than half of his life on Twitter.
Why I love the Affiliate Marketing? Because I see offers teaching you how to increase your sales by up to 912%, no more, no less. Such precision astonishes me. Because I see offers teaching you how to make each and every day 4.987, 65 dollars, no more, no less. (Actually, I am disposed to give up any time at the 65 cents, I would be more than pleased with the rest). Because I see offers teaching you how to increase your mailing list with 678 subscribers each and every day, no more, no less. And not any kind of subscribers, only hungry subscribers, ready to buy from you with the price of their life, no matter what crap you are selling. You have to agree with me that there is a huge difference between ordinary and hungry subscribers, and I find normal that everyone prefers the last ones. I am waiting impatient the day when someone will try to teach me how to increase my mailing list with 3,33 subscribers, and, frankly, I wouldn’t be very surprised if I see that. I saw so many things, that nothing can surprise me easy. And the curious thing is that this numbers really work. There were tested and the statistics show that prices like “47, 67, 97″ are converting better than “50, 70 or 100″, and the difference is not the 3 dollars less. I imagine that it’s something psichologic. Of course, even these guys were beaten by someone who tryed to teach me how to make money online without selling nothing!!!
Why I love the Affiliate Marketing? Finally, because I make money with Affiliate Marketing from home, although not that easy how these guys claim, I am not rich but I live decent, I don’t work from “nine to five” to some capitalist who exploits me, instead I spend about 14 hours per day on my laptop to be able to ensure my “financial security”, but, when I look back, I love what I am doing, I am having fun. Maybe my sence of humor is higher, I don’t know, but I have fun reading all these things, and makes my “work at home” job easier. If you want 4.987, 65 dollars per day, the WWW (worl wide web) is at your disposition, just try to make them instead of spend them. If you want to make money online without spending money for that, but you don’t expect to get rich over night or to watch the money floating around while you are sitting and doing nothing, than visit my site and you will find out how I use only online free methods to make some (not much) money online.
