I’m Confused, Which Internet Marketing Strategy Should I Start With?

June 2, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I know I asked myself this question a lot when I started my online business 3 years ago.

As a matter of fact, I asked myself this question so much that I couldn’t decide on which strategy was best. What I soon learned is that every online strategy works and they are all “the best”. Once you realize this, then you have to look at your individual situation to determine how your time should be spent marketing.

Ask yourself this question: Do you have more time or more money?

If you answered “more time”, then it would be wise to focus on some free marketing strategies because they take more of your “sweat equity” to implement and less out of your wallet. These methods are favorites to business builders that like to get their hands dirty and really go to work.

Here are some examples of internet marketing that takes “more time” and nearly zero monetary cost:

-Twitter Marketing
-Video Marketing
-Blogging
-Facebook Marketing
-Articles & Press Releases
-Search Engine Optimization
-Free Classifieds

If you answered “more money”, then your options require less of your time, but more out of your advertising budget.

Examples of paid-for advertising that take less time to implement but more out of your wallet are as follows:

-Pay Per Click(minimum $500/mo)
-Banner Advertising(minimum $200-$300/mo)
-List Building (around $20/mo)
-Solo/Ezine Advertising($-varies)

These methods are favorites for entrepreneurs that don’t like to deal with time consuming details and want immediate results.

Don’t forget to remember that if your Return On Investment(ROI) is good then is doesn’t matter how much you spend on advertising. If I made $3 every time I spent $1 then I would try to spend as many $1 as I could.

When I started my online marketing 3 years ago, I had more money than time. So I threw my credit card at everything and outsourced my Pay Per Click campaigns. I sure got a lot of leads fast and made some sales. But the downside was that I didn’t learn anything about marketing. If I was starting over, I would do a combination of both so I could be educating myself at the same time.

So always remember that all these marketing strategies work. All of them are “the best” if you work them consistently over time and become a master of 1 or 2 before adding another.

Top 4 Benefits For Being On Twitter.com

May 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

You hear that businesses, celebrities, politicians, groups and organizations all are active on Twitter. John McCain, Shaquille O’neil and even President Obama all publicize their Twitter accounts.

So why is all this buzz about being on Twitter talked about every single day all over the media?

Why is it relevant to you?

Well, other than it being a platform for your average “social butterfly” to stay connected with their “followers” and anyone they wish, it has some tremendous benefits for any business.

Here are the 4 main benefits of using Twitter for your online & offline business:

1. Influence

-As you build your “followers” and post informative, entertaining and inspiring content, people will value what you have to say. As long your not posting relentless sales pitches and take the “DON’T TAKE, GIVE FIRST” philosophy, your listeners will be responsive to you.

2. More Traffic To Your Website

-You can’t put enough value on FREE traffic to your website. Why do you think the top 25 ranked Twitter spots are being offered up to $250,000 to sell their accounts? As an online business owner I can tell you that SEO can take forever to get results and Google Pay Per Click can easily cost you $5K-$10K a month.

3. More Money

- The top internet marketers can literally spend a couple hours writing one sales letter to promote a product, blast it out on Twitter and have $10K in sales come in 24 hours. I’m not joking. Of course that is after building a big list of followers, a relationship with them and mastering some copywriting skills. How would you like to have a fraction of that success as your starting out?

4. More Opportunity

- As your professional, value filled presence is built on Twitter, opportunities that you never thought possible will fall into your lap. I personally know marketers that have been approached by companies to engage in partnerships, television shows, and joint venture because of their Twitter profile. In the brief time I have been using Twitter I have gained strong referrals and customers.

Twitter is the fastest growing social media platform on the web according to www.Alexa.com, and definitely the “coolest kid” on the block in the web 2.0 world.

To get some real Twitter training under your belt sign up for my “Online Marketing Newsletter” right here, or at the top of my blog home page. Take your business to the next level by utilizing what the top 3% online marketers are doing.

This is money for the taking if you take action.

So if your short on cash and need leads for your online business, where do you turn?
Why social media, of course….

O.k., but your new to all this lead generation stuff and have a finite amount of time to spare so which platform should you focus on, Facebook or Twitter?

Use Twitter to create a strong presence of yourself by posting valuable content relating to your niche and building your “following” of other Tweeters who are in your target market. The key is consistency and quality of your content and your interactions with others.

Once you build some type of connection with your fellow Tweeters, then link each other to your Facebook profiles and other website to build a more personal relationship. Always provide some type of value and solutions to people’s problems in your content.
