The Benefits Of Working With Internet Marketing On Social Media

To get a step ahead of your competitors, spend time evaluating their sites. See if they have any features you might want to employ on your own site, and pay attention to how they market their products. If possible, you should look for reviews of competitor websites to see what people liked and disliked about them.

No matter how small your business is, a good internet marketing tip is to make your business look huge on the internet. Give your site the most professional look possible. Make sure your graphics are cutting edge and your page looks fresh and clean. This will give people the idea that you are a successful business.

Unless you are marketing a well-known national brand, you may only have one chance to convert a site visitor into a paying customer. Check all links on your site to ensure that there are no breaks in navigation or info transmission; this is especially true if you are marketing luxury goods or high-dollar items.

Get in a promoting mood and put yourself out there pushing your site. Your site cannot generate traffic just by existing. Blog about it, get on Facebook and Twitter to talk about it and by all means get some business cards printed. Leaving business cards around town on bulletin boards or anywhere they are acceptable will draw attention.

As much as you can, utilize the meta and title description tags as wisely as possible. These tags are the best way to avoid supplemental pages. Give each page its own description and title and do not repeat more than one-fourth of the title or description tag’s content on other pages.

In the main email that you use, make sure to include a link to your website and your phone number in your signature. This is a free way to create exposure for your company and can generate new customers in the business simply from an email. One customer could recommend your product to another, generating a pyramid flow of advertising.

The Internet is the newest tool in advancing business online. Using different Internet marketing strategies can turn themselves into a wealthy business in a very short amount of time. Having read this article you now should know a couple of tips yourself for Internet marketing. So what are you waiting for, get marketing!

My Latest Facebook Tip

Well, most of you that know me that I am always looking for shorcuts to save me time and still get things done.

I have been creating events for our Wednesday webinars and then invite my friends on Facebook – well this is sooooooooo time consuming and I knew there had to be an easier way – well I found it.

You go to your event and then click on invite guest – then that screen comes up with all your friends pictures – this is what you do….. in the very top of your screen (the address bar of your URL) you copy and paste this in there

javascript:elms=document.getElementById(‘friends’).getElementsByTagName(‘li’);for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === ‘object’){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
and it will select ALL your friends and then you can just click invite and you are done.

Now if you have lot of friends like I do – give it time and I did notice that I had to copy and paste it in the address bar and then click on the arrow next to it to get it to work.

How Does Google Search Really Work? by Robin Williams

I got a great blog post – now what?

Interesting how you can get questions from friends and realize that it would make a great post. Many have started writing blogs and have some great info to share with others but then it just sits there and you don’t get any comments or know how to get people to see it. So here are a few of my secrets for getting people to my blog.

First, I send out a ping to all my social sites that I have a new post. If you have no clue what I’m talking about then you missed reading a previous post – check it out here Learn this word and get traffic to your site

Then after I have done that, I go to my facebook account and I post in these groups – these are just a few of my favorites
Bloggers Cafe

Get Your Blog Followers

Post YOUR Blogs!!

Post Your URL

Network Marketing Friends

Network, Promote, Post!

Post Anything

Now just don’t go in there and post – you have to also build a relationship with the group – stop and visit some of the blogs and then comment – and when others see you do this, then they will start returning the favor. This does NOT happen overnight and with your first post – this is something that you have to keep doing each time that you write a new post.

Like with all the other things that you do with marketing – you get back what you put in – you don’t leave any comments on others – you not going to get any on yours. The next thing that you notice is that you will start getting new followers – trust me it will happen.

And I’m sure by now you are thinking this woman is nuts – how in the world do you do all this – there is no way. Here is a gold nugget for you – when you get to Bloggers Cafe – you don’t have to comment on all of them like I do as I’m the creator of that group and it’s my job to do that – but what you do is scan the post in there and try and find 2 in each group and post a comment – then move to the next group, find 2 more and keep going. You get the idea – it really don’t take that long folks – it’s worth the effort.

How I use Social Networking to help build my list.

The one question that I get asked more and more is how are you building so many friends on the social sites?  I hear it’s like you are a social magnet.  Well, the secret is very simple.

I don’t pitch anything to any of my friends – I just chat with them and I don’t make the conversations very long as I have so many now.  BUT I do answer all my messages from others – I figure if they took the time to message me then I am going to show them the respect to answer back.

Now it may take me 3 – 4 days to get to all of them but I do – I help others as much as I can and love what I’m doing.  I’m sure you are wondering how in the world can I be friends with so many and keep up with all of them – it’s simple – you don’t have to write a book to someone – you just have to answer them.

There is this social site that I am loving even more than facebook right now and it’s called Swom.  You are probably wondering why as facebook is the #1 social site.  Well, the reason is that most of the people that contact me on facebook is doing online marketing  – so by the time you  get to know someone it seems they are doing the same thing that you are lololol

So for that reason, I am having better luck with Swom as the people are much friendlier I feel and they aren’t there trying to shove things down your throat.  Oh don’t get me wrong, you can let others know what you are doing by adding your stuff to your profile BUT I don’t have everyone pitching me at this site.

Also, you get paid for doing all this – I know crazy huh?  Now there are alot of new sites out there doing this so don’t make the mistake and join more than you can handle as you will fail – you still need to get to know the people and you need to communicate back with them.

People are always adding me and the first thing that I do is look at their page and try to comment back to them about something on their page – why? one you have just caught their attention that you took the time to look at their page.  It can be as simple as I see that you are in the same program that I’m in (program xyz), how is this going for you.

Another approach that I use is if I see something I have in common with them then I like to send them a question about it – they have grandkids – ask how many? – they have pets – what kind – I have a golden lab.  This is how you build relationship and friends.

Now let’s get out there and make some friends, some online relationships – it can be done.  Look me up on Facebook
or Swom

How I got into marketing

When I first started on the net, I had and still have an ebay store – while chatting with other ebayers – I kept hearing about other marketing that they were doing to help get others to their store. That is when I heard about blogs, squidoo, traffic exchanges, text ad sites, PTC sites, social sites. etc – just a whole world of tools out there to be used.

I remember back at the time that Yuwie was really the social site to be on as you could set up your profile, tell others about what you do and chat back and forth – so as a suggestion from another ebayer I joined. I met so many wonderful friends there and as we chatted also heard about other resources they were using to get their sites out there. Since then there have been so many more social sites that have come about and now with facebook, myspace, and swom, you can meet so many new people from all over. I love being a social butterfly hehehehehe.

Funny, one of the first traffic exchanges that I joined was Rockinclix – I think back to it now and poor James must have thought where did this dumb hillbilly come from. I didn’t even know what a url was, how to add a banner, and what a text link was – he had such patience with me and guided me thru everything and I got hooked. As I was surfing, I got to see all these other sites out there and I kept joining, joining, joining – till one day I realized wow how in the world can I keep advertising all these sites and why am I putting in all this time promoting for someone else and not building MY list.

By this time, I had learned quite a bit and then started thinking how nice it would be to own my own traffic exchange. I was surfing one day and there it was Hummingbird Hits 4 sale – well this had my name written all over it and I just knew a door of opportunity was opening for me – as if you could see my house – you would see that I am a collector of hummingbirds and with my love for gardening – watching hummingbirds in my gardens is sooooooo thrilling for me. I just felt this was meant to be – so clicked the pay here button and that is how I got my 1st traffic exchange. And so my journey started and I soooo love what I’m doing – I have been blessed and now own/operate 9 traffic exchanges.

Being a traffic exchange owner, it is the owners responsibility to get members into the site to see others’ sites and even tho I have put in alot of hours doing this – I would not have changed a thing. Again, I have been so blessed in the people that I have met and all the friends that have been willing to help me.

In trying to get my traffic exchange in as much advertising as I could, I then found text ad sites, PTC (paid to click) sites and have learned to blog, write lens on Squidoo and have just started writing Ezine Articles – so guess you can say that I am hooked. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be doing all this marketing – I would have laughed at you – but I really love what I’m doing and love helping others and try to save them the hours that I spent learning most of what I know the hard way – trial and error.
