Internet Viral Marketing with Articles

How To Harness The Power Of Internet Viral Marketing with Article Marketing.

Article marketing has been one of the most popular free internet marketing strategies for years. Originally, it was used to gain exposure to target audiences through email newsletters. The strategy has changed significantly since then.

Today, article marketing can be used to build your brand, gain powerful incoming links to your websites, and ultimately, drive targeted traffic. Unfortunately, most marketers are failing to harness its true power.

Today, I’m going to explain how you can use internet viral marketing with article marketing to build a growing funnel of free, targeted, traffic to your website. I’ll describe some of the best ways to use the strategy and why its potential is largely underestimated.

Getting More Exposure

People look online for information; their appetite is insatiable. They’ll search Google for anything that is related to their problem or passion. If they find an article that you’ve written which informs or entertains them, they’ll remember your name. If they stumble upon several articles that you’ve written, their memory will continue to build. Before long, they’ll begin searching Google specifically for your content.

This is the point at which most article marketers allow the opportunity to slip through their fingers. They focus solely upon submitting their content to article directories. You can increase your exposure tenfold by distributing your content elsewhere.

For example, popular blogs in your market might accept guest blog posts. Associations that are related to your website’s topic might accept articles on their site. Online stores are often starved for well-written content. Each of these websites are an opportunity for you to spread your name wider for more exposure.

Building Incoming Links

It’s impossible to ignore the value of article marketing in building inbound links to your site. It’s one of the most effective search engine optimization strategies that you can leverage. But, once again, most marketers fail to use their content to its greatest potential. After submitting their article to as many directories as they can find, they shelve its distribution.

That’s an enormous mistake.

The search engines look at your website’s link profile in order to judge its value compared to other sites in your market. The greater the number of related websites that link to your own, the more valuable they consider your site. Article marketing, when used properly, leverages this factor in the search engines’ algorithm. By distributing your content across many different types of properties (as opposed to only article directories), the breadth of your link profile grows.

Closing The Circle

There is one critical piece that can sabotage your article marketing campaigns: poorly-written content. For years, thousands of marketers have shoved millions of badly-crafted articles onto the internet. The popularity of blogging has worsened the problem since anyone with a keyboard can participate. The result has been a growing lack of confidence among readers.

You can use this to your advantage.

Imagine feeling exhausted and frustrated after a fruitless search for compelling content about your passion. Suddenly, you uncover a well-written article that you enjoy reading. Chances are, you’ll remember the author’s name and visit her website.

You can be that author. And when you’re taking the time to distribute well-written content to a variety of popular sites and blogs, you’ll gain a loyal following. Exposure, links, and targeted traffic… that’s how you harness the true power of internet viral marketing with article marketing.

There’s another element that you can add to in order unleash the potential of your content. We’ll cover that soon.

Making Money With Membership Sites

5 Steps To Making Money With Membership Sites

There are several ways in which you can make money online. The goal of this post is to introduce you to proven and innovative marketing strategies that will generate income. Today, we’re going to explore how you can make money with membership sites.

There are a number of powerful advantages to operating one or more membership sites. You can enjoy a predictable income, devote yourself to your paid membership base, and promote related products to an audience who trusts you.

Plus, through smart outsourcing, you can build a portfolio of subscription-based sites, scaling your income in the process. In today’s post, I’ll give you a 5-step blueprint for making money with your own membership site.

Step 1: Developing Your Reputation

The most common mistake I’ve observed others making is launching their membership site without first building their reputation as an expert. Even though you can attract members solely through PPC and search engine optimization strategies, your success will be limited. If you can develop a loyal fan base through a blog, forum participation, or even a weekly newsletter, you can launch far more successfully.

Step 2: Marketing Through The Funnel

You’ve likely heard of the sales funnel. It’s a proven internet marketing strategy that is used to qualify your audience and motivate them through the sales cycle. One of the most effective ways to use it in marketing your membership site is through an email list. By focusing the content of your emails on topics that interest your prospective members, you can disqualify those who aren’t interested while pushing others further through the funnel toward joining.

Step 3: Lining Up Your Tools

You’ll need software to build your membership site, a payment processor that can handle recurring payments, and a few other tools, depending upon your plans for content creation.

There are a number of robust software solutions that you can choose to build your site, such as aMember and MemberGate. You can also find free scripts online, but you’re better off using a proven application with reliable tech support.

Next, select a payment processor. You can use PayPal, ClickBank, 2Checkout, or your own merchant account. In my opinion, PayPal is a fantastic choice because it’s cost-effective and fits seamlessly with most high-quality membership site management software.

Finally, you’ll need to determine how you intend to deliver content to your members. You might choose a forum (for example, vBulletin), video production, or weekly webinars. The key is finding the tools you’ll need ahead of time so that you’re not scrambling when you launch your site.

Step 4: Creating Your Price Structure

The subscription price that you charge your members will depend upon several factors. First, realize upfront that a lot of your members will cancel their memberships. Most of the high-profile membership sites build retention rates into their pricing formula. Also, your price structure should represent the perceived value of the content you provide for your members.

You’ll also need to consider your market (some markets are willing to pay more than others) and the amount of income you’d like to generate. Obviously, charging $2.95 a month with only 500 members won’t generate much income (unless you’re operating a dozen such membership sites).

Step 5: Launching Your Membership Site

Finally, the launch. To truly explode out of the gate with hundreds of members, you should treat the launch of your membership site as you would any product launch. That includes building anticipation in your space as well as attracting affiliates and keeping them excited. We’ve touched on product launches before and we’ll do so again in the future. The important thing to remember is that launching your membership site properly will not only generate more income, but it will also provide valuable conversion data on your sales page.

I’ve given you a proven 5-step blueprint for making money with membership sites. We’ll cover the above steps in more detail in future posts. For now, understand that subscription-based sites have the potential for generating a high level of reliable income.

Teleseminar Business

Why Teleseminars Fail
By Kathleen Gage

Not a day goes by that someone, somewhere is hosting a teleseminar. Some are free, others are fee. Sadly, many do not achieve the outcome the host had hoped for.

There are many reasons why teleseminars fail. Invariably the mistakes made are small but they have a profound effect on the success of a teleseminar. With proper preparation you can have a successful event on your hands. Not only are you in a position to increase your market reach, you can also increase your opt-in subscriber list, and revenues.

Here are a few tips on how to avoid a disaster so you can enjoy a successful event.

When planning to host a teleseminar, you should endeavor to build trust with registrants so that they know you are an expert who is offering information and knowledge they will not get anywhere else.

Some of the most common reasons why teleseminars fail are listed below. Do all you can to avoid making similar mistakes the next time you host a teleseminar. Here’s how.

•Providing incorrect date and time: By giving potential registrants incorrect time and date, you are ensuring that there will be no one to listen or view your teleseminar. This is the most common reason for many teleseminars to fail.

•Providing incorrect dial-in number or website URL: Many times the registration page does not provide the correct information as to where registrants should log on for the teleseminar. Nearly all registrants will note down the details somewhere at the time of registration and if the information provided is wrong, your teleseminar will fail.

•Not providing an opt-in page: An opt-in page is a must to build a list, which is important for the success of any online business. This will also allow you find out how many people are interested in what you are offering.

•Not sending reminders: People are busy and can forget the time, date, website URL or the dial-in number. Make sure you set up a series of emails using a reliable autoresponder to remind all the registrants about the teleseminar.

•Not providing a learning guide: Have some sort of information guide that can work as a roadmap for the teleseminar. It should contain precise information as to what potential participants can learn when they take part in the teleseminar. It should be persuasive enough to get people to register.

By being aware of what could go wrong you have a greater chance of doing all that can go right.

Power of Video Marketing

Top 4 Reasons To Leverage Video Marketing

As we’ve talked about recently, traffic is the life’s blood of your website. Without it, you won’t have an opportunity to sell your product or promote your service. The problem is that driving traffic that is properly motivated to take a predefined action (for example, buying your product, signing up for your newsletter, etc.) is a major challenge. Most free traffic strategies require time to build. On the other hand, paid traffic can quickly become expensive.

Today, I’m going to describe the top 4 reasons why you should be using one of the most cost-effective, potentially explosive traffic sources available: video marketing if deployed properly as one component of your internet marketing strategy, it can deliver a quick flood of traffic that builds over time.

#1 - Extending Your Reach

A large portion of your target audience won’t be attracted to your written content. Some won’t have the time to read it; others won’t have the patience. But, they will watch videos that are either informative or entertaining. By creating short snippets of video content and uploading them on YouTube, BrightCove, Revver, and similar properties, you can reach those who wouldn’t otherwise visit your site.

#2 - The Age Of Authority

Even before Google purchased YouTube, there were signs that they considered video sharing sites to be authoritative. To Google, site authority is paramount; those who have it enjoy rankings at the top of the organic listings. And with site authority comes instant search engine recognition. New content is indexed almost immediately and begins climbing through the ranks. Now, consider what that exposure can mean for your website. You might spend months trying to achieve a “top 3″ organic ranking for your site. Meanwhile, a short video with the right title can be uploaded to YouTube and start ranking quickly.

#3 - The Viral Effect

Who can forget the “Numa Numa” video that was unleashed upon the public a few years ago? It spread across the internet like wildfire. Millions of people watched it and emailed their friends to do the same. Before long, links to the video began showing up on websites, blogs, forums, and other properties. For many site owners, simply uploading it to their websites and blogs resulted in thousands of new visitors. The viral effect of video marketing can potentially catapult a short 1-minute segment into the limelight, attracting attention from around the globe.

#4 - Cost Effective

Aside from the initial investment for a video recorder and software with which to edit your videos, this is one of the most inexpensive marketing strategies you can leverage. Once you’ve recorded and edited a short segment, you can visit the top video sharing sites to upload it completely free.

Using Video Marketing To Drive Traffic

Videos represent one of many free internet marketing strategies; there are several effective traffic-generating tactics that you can deploy in order to drive targeted visitors to your websites. You should be using search engine optimization strategies, PPC marketing, link bait, autoresponders, and social networking. Each represents another stream of motivated visitors.

Set aside some time to explore the potential of video marketing. Once you create a system of recording short segments and uploading them to the most popular video sharing sites, you can develop a growing stream of targeted traffic.

Your website needs traffic. It lives, breathes, and thrives on it. The challenge is positioning your site so that it enjoys continuous exposure to the right people at the right time. Deploying 1 or 2 internet marketing tactics can easily drive hundreds, even thousands, of people to your site. But, what happens when that traffic stream dries up?

Most site owners seem to approach traffic generation without grasping the true potential of their marketing strategies. We’re going to change that today.

Before we get started, let’s set our expectations properly. There’s no possible way we can cover the entire range of marketing strategies that can drive traffic to your site. It can’t be done in 1 article. But, we’re going to take it one step further.

In time, this will become your ultimate “how to” guide for increasing your website traffic.

Let’s get started.

Inbound Link-Building

Building targeted, thematically-related inbound links is the cornerstone of all search engine optimization strategies. But, there’s an art to doing it right. Submitting your site to a few directories is no longer sufficient. Here are 2 comprehensive resources for planning and deploying an inbound linking program:

• Advanced Link Building Strategies - a reasonably well-documented blueprint for taking your link-building program beyond what most site owners can imagine doing.

• Guide To One-Way Link-Building - a thorough treatment of pursuing the right kind of links and their cumulative effect on your website’s search engine rankings.

Link Bait Creation

Link bait is exactly as it sounds: you create content that baits others into linking to your site. That can mean developing an interactive credit card payment calculator, a controversial political view, or an entertaining video. The idea is simple: get people to notice and motivate them to link. Ideally, this strategy should be a part of your inbound link-building program, but it deserves its own mention. Here are 2 resources for learning the link-baiting craft:

• Link Bait Primer - this blog post provides a good overview of the topic from Matt Cutts, a high-profile Google engineer. Start here before moving to advanced link bait tactics.

• 20 Link Baiting Techniques - a great list of ideas compiled onto 1 page by savvy link baiter Darren Rowse.

Autoresponder Sequences

Getting people to visit your site is only 1 part of the traffic generation formula. You need those visitors to return to your site over and over. If you leave the matter to them, it won’t happen. But, if you can persuade your visitors to sign up for an autoresponder sequence, you can drive them back to your site on a predictable schedule. Read the following page to learn the strategy and how to apply it:

• Autoresponder Flowchart - a top-down look at the entire process of encouraging people to subscribe to your sequence and delivering compelling messages that drive them back to your site.

Social Networking And Media

Social networking has become a powerful buzzword over the past few years. It’s a maturing strategy to develop traffic to your site and is bound to change dramatically over the next 12 months. Here are 4 resources that will give you a comprehensive blueprint to leveraging the technique:

• Promoting Your Content On Social Bookmarking Sites - an overview of the method.

• How To Create Digg-Friendly Content - this is a fantastic resource from notable blogger Maki.

• A Comprehensive Guide To StumbleUpon - another resource from Maki that is better than any other StumbleUpon tutorial I’ve seen. Read this page and bookmark it.

PPC Campaigns

Eventually, your search engine optimization strategies, autoresponder sequences, link bait, and other free traffic generation techniques will be sending you a growing stream of visitors. To continue building the stream, launch small, ultra-targeted PPC campaigns. Doing so requires an investment, but if you know your metrics, you’ll be able to deploy this strategy and enjoy a positive ROI. Here are 2 reliable PPC resources:

• Step By Step Guide To PPC Campaign Setup - this is a well-written overview of the entire process of creating a PPC campaign.

• Designing Effective PPC Campaign Strategies - don’t let the date (circa 2005) dissuade you from reading this article. The author discusses PPC strategy from a long-term perspective that is not only still viable today, but critical.

Product Development With An Affiliate Program

Here’s a potent internet marketing strategy that 99% of all site owners neglect. Once you’ve developed a traffic generation program using all of the tactics described above, your website (or blog) will be receiving a continuous stream of readers and fans. If you develop a product and attach an affiliate program to it that allows your visitors to make money by promoting you, it can turn your traffic stream into a river. Here’s a great resource for launching your affiliate program:

• How To Start An Affiliate Program - a tutorial by Allan Gardyne, an affiliate program authority. It was written in 2004, but contains a mountain of useful information about creating your own program.

Long Tail Niche Marketing

Long Tail Marketing

If you are thinking about having a small business, or already have one, you’ll want to use every avenue at your disposal to increase business. The newest frontier for business is the Internet. Each year, someone comes up with a new way to enhance business in this area. One strategy to try is long tail niche marketing.

The concept of long tail niche marketing uses multiple keyword phrases to target traffic to your site and increase business. By adding words to the phrase, the person searching will have to be quite specific in their words in order to find you.

Long tail niche marketing is another way to increase your standing in the page ranks on popular search engines. Anyone who has used SEO content and keywords on their website pages knows that everyone fights for the first page of results. Most people don’t look beyond that; if it is not found on the first page, the chances of you being discovered drop.

A business can benefit in a number of ways from long tail niche marketing strategies. For one, it saves time on other marketing campaigns. When we buy lists of names, the category that those names fall into is a broad one.

Let’s say that you are selling rafting equipment. A list may include people who live in states where white water rafting is a common sport. That would be a broad category. Everyone living in Colorado doesn’t go rafting. There are a lot of names on the list who won’t buy from you. Also, the list may exclude people who love to raft but don’t live in the geographic location of the list.

Marketing is a trial and error process, but we try to get as close to our target as possible. Employing more than one marketing strategy is best to overcome this learning curve. With longer keyword phrases, a person won’t just look for rafting in general, but can include other keywords like state, or type of rafting equipment they are looking for. The results for “rafting” may be in the millions, but the results for “rafting suppliers in Colorado Springs” can be in the thousands.

This marketing strategy directs the appropriate traffic to find your business. Visitors are more likely to buy because they are looking for your products. Creating a list from those who buy offers a solid base of customers to work with. From there, you can target specific products to customers. The possibilities are endless once you reach the right type of customers.

Long tail marketing does require that the right keyword phrases be used. The entire process is still used experimentally by Internet marketers. With a little research, you can create phrases that will bring in reliable new leads for future sales.
