Your Commitment To Internet Marketing

by Rahimah Sultan

If you are starting a business are you fully committed to doing what it takes to make it a success? Have you decided what avenues to use for growth? What is your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business and how do you deal with the marketing?

 

Are you going to use a blog, social media, traffic exchanges, safe lists, and email marketing? Will you use both paid and free sources. You must include a marketing strategy in your business plan and it has to outline the way you will handle your marketing.

 

The first thing you must know before starting a business is your personality and philosophy. Are you a person who is passionate, persistent and who perseveres once you commit to something?

 

I was reading a magazine article by Dr. Philllip C. McGraw in which he stated, “The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”

 

He went on to say that at age 12 he discovered that he was an all-or-nothing person. If he let himself get careless in school, everything else started to slide. If he aimed to be the best in one area that commitment raised his game across the board.

 

If in your commitment to Internet Marketing you decide to use a blog as your platform you must make regular posts.

 

When using social media you have to follow through with ways that increases your audience, engagement, and sales.

 

With traffic exchanges and safe lists you have to pay for traffic or surf for credits or do both in order to send out mailings (Ads) daily.

 

So figure out your philosophy or guiding principle which in turn will determine your commitment to Internet Marketing for your business.

Social Media Marketing Techniques For Getting A Dominating Position

by Rahimah Sultan

Russell Armstrong states, “For anyone who needs to clear out the cobwebs on their social channels and sharpen their effective social media marketing strategies, here are a few techniques to employ so you can take back control and rise in the ranks.”

 

Develop a Strategy and Follow It If you don’t have a solid plan in place, your content will probably be lost and never seen. For example, set a reasonable limit on how many tweets to publish every day. Adjust the number as needed, but definitely have a goal. Even publishing just five tweets a day gives you somewhat of a benchmark to work with.

 

You need to build trust by responding to tweets or posts on your channels. If you don’t reply people will turn to your competitors for answers or guidance.

 

While tracking is generally thought of as time-consuming and tedious, it needs to be done at least once a month.

 

Remain active on Google+ as that is essentially free advertising for your brand when other people search for you on Google.

 

There are five key platforms that you should use to grow your brand.

Promotion With Social Media Optimization

by Rahimah Sultan

With everyone focused on Search Engine Optimization (SEO), many overlook the importance of Social Media Optimization (SMO). For business owners and entrepreneurs using social media optimization across social media platforms is crucial to generate results.

 

Social Media Optimization is the process of making content that is generated for a specific brand easily shareable across several different social media platforms and sites referred to as the social media web.

 

The focus on SMO is not necessarily to drive larger loads of traffic to your site, but to get your content seen in order to get organic traffic. Social networks are actually driving more traffic to professional websites than Google, the most popular search engine.

 

One way to effectively spread branded content across the social web without requiring users to visit your website is the use of widgets and badges. Badges count as backlinks, which can improve Search Engine rankings. Another optimization strategy is the social sign-in strategy which eliminates the need for filling out a long form.

by Rahimah Sultan

As I was taking my morning walk, I was thinking about life’s patterns in general and business ones in particular. We establish certain daily routines that govern what actions we need to take to accomplish what we set out to do. If we work for someone else that employer has a job description with our tasks listed and it usually includes the phrase and other related duties. I was thinking about my Internet Marketing Strategies and what to do to improve them.

 

As a business owner and Internet Marketer, what marketing strategies can you use to improve your success? Have you written out your job description that includes a plan for marketing strategies and the related duties to accomplish your goal(s)?

 

You must take stock of where you are and consider where you want to be and how to get there. You must have a very clear purpose and goal. Here are three things to consider.

 

Market Your Own Product or Someone Else’s

 

If you do not have a product of your own, there many places to find good products to sell as an affiliate marketer. Click bank, JV Zoo, and Deal Guardian are a few. Just make sure they are good products that solve people’s problems. This is especially important for your list of prospective buyers. You want them to trust you and your recommendations.

 

Choose Your Platform

 

Will you be using a blog, social media, mobile media or others? A WordPress blog (Read Article) is an excellent advertising platform over which you have total control.

 

Online Advertising Techniques

 

These can include text and banner ads, content advertising, videos and more. Content marketing on your own blog is the best way to go. You can write articles about anything you want and monetize them.

 

So, put together a job description for yourself that includes the related duties you need to reach your goal and include these three Internet Marketing Strategies for your business.

Increasing Website Opt-Ins

by Rahimah Sultan

 

Most of us know that to entice visitors to our web site we need to offer a freebie of some kind for Increasing Website Opt-ins. Not only should we offer this, but it should be something of value. It needs to be a solution to the problem that the visitor was searching for on line. This opt-in freebie is the one thing the visitor has to have in order to move forward.

 

Web site visitors will not treat your site like a brick and mortar business, looking around to see what you have. They are searching for a particular product or service. You have to direct their attention to certain parts of your site and make it easy for them to navigate.

 

You have to really understand your visitor who leaves clues as to what they were really looking for, based on how they arrived there. You may need to use survey software to find out why they’re visiting but not buying. Ask them questions like who they are and what kind of information they’re looking for.

Internet Marketing Goals and Tips

Every day, internet use is still increasing worldwide.

Marketing has always been about reaching customers where they are. Print advertisements, billboards, and TV commercials all attempt to do just that.

The internet offers exceptional advantages that other marketing mediums can’t, including the option to personalize content, the opportunity to build far-reaching relationships with customers, and its scope of reach.

The internet can be overwhelming with all the videos, recipes, news articles, and e-commerce sites. So, how are you supposed to differentiate your business to reach the right audience?

Internet marketing is the answer.

Internet marketing leverages digital channels that include social media, websites, and search engines, to reach your ideal audience.


What is Internet Marketing?

Internet marketing, also known as online marketing or web advertising, is a form of marketing that uses the internet to deliver promotional messages to customers through digital channels such as search engines, email, websites, and social media.

These marketing strategies include SEO, web design, social media, email, PPC, and other internet-related methods.

What’s the Role of Internet Marketing?

Your customers and prospects are looking for you online.

In traditional marketing, the approach was to direct messages to prospects and customers in the form of advertising, direct mail, and other vehicles. Now, the people you want to reach are already online looking for you, your products, and solutions. So, make it easy for them to find you.

Here are two separate goals you’ll have with internet marketing and the necessary steps to take to achieve them.


1. Attract new customers

To attract new customers, you’ll want to use online marketing strategies. Focus primarily on paid social media ads, search engines, and web design.

You might use Facebook’s Lookalike Audiences to get your message in front of prospects who match your core demographics, or you could pay a social media influencer to share images of your products with that already well-established community.

You can attract new customers to your product or brand with paid social media, but you need to conduct market research and A/B testing before investing too much in one social media channel.

You’ll also need to maintain a powerful SEO presence to attract new customers.

Be sure to spend time and resources on your website design. Your site needs to be easy to navigate and helpful. It must also be user-friendly as well as mobile-friendly.


2. Cultivate brand loyalists

To increase brand awareness, cultivate a strong online community, and retain customer loyalty, you’ll want to use email, blogging, and social media.

Send personalized emails to past customers that contain discounts based on their previous purchases, to wish them a happy birthday, or remind them of upcoming events.

For email campaigns, you’ll need an email list. Here’s how to build your list.

You might use social media to showcase your brand and hear directly from your customers. Consider hosting a Twitter chat, creating fun contests on Facebook, or posting surveys on Instagram.

Online/internet marketing is the broad term and overarching strategy that includes content marketing as one process within that strategy.

Content marketing is the actual process of creating and distributing content to reach audiences.

Online marketing includes sharing that content through search engines, email, and social media. It also includes paid advertising as well as a wide range of strategies that you might use to reach online audiences.

While most of the strategies that fall under online marketing involve content creation, online marketing also includes the non-content creation tasks of internet marketing, such as PPC bidding, and website design.

The function of internet marketing is to help you reach, attract, and convert online audiences to your business.


Using these Internet Marketing Goals and Tips can help you in that effort.
