Personal reflections

I am still puzzled on how to market my business in the Philippines. as I see it there are two challenges, one lack of money and two the population is relatively young. Internet cafe's are popular, but used mostly for playing games. Yahoo is used extensive here with many businesses having a yahoo email address, this is somewhat surprising as I find Yahoo tends to corrupt my computer, so I avoid using it.

I use a local business forum to engage with locals working online but it is difficult to have any meaningful discussion. I have noticed that the majority of advertising provides little information about what is being sold and rarely links to a website. The seller either requesting a PM or an email for further details. People do seem to read entries in the forum judging by the emails requesting more information, and this is perhaps something that I can use to my advantage for marketing my business.

A colleague of mine says

There are leads all over the Internet for free staring people right in the face and they do not even realize it. I must say that; only the people I work directly with will get this valuable information on calling prospects. Sorry, but I cannot reveal all the productive secrets to building a large organization within your home based business.
.

Thanks Steven , I have just found a new source for marketing my business now all I have to do is resolve the money issue and get them to use the Internet cafe's to get them out of the poverty trap.

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business

I was asked a question the other day if I had an opportunity or business which could earn someone $300 this week. Now I have always had issues with the thousands of emails promising this kind of result, because the business I promote take time to develop.

The problem is that there are quite a few desperate people out there who need to earn money quickly. This got me thinking and we discussed the matter for a couple of hours, often ending up back at my first answer. I tend only to market business opportunities which earn money in the long term. We discussed many subject from web hosting and selling domain names to real estate and Forex and at different time I had tried most. Some had promising starts only to turn out to be scams. The most successful was Forex trading which I ran for a year and made some good money only to lose it due to poor Internet connections and power outages at critical times.

The discussion on Forex actually prompted me to take a look at a Forex business in pre-launch which I joined at the end of last week and to my surprise it appears to be making money with potential bonus of $500 and earning of $60 per month, perhaps this is something which will fit the bill in future, only time will tell.

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business

Everyday you will come across a new business opportunity that maybe strikes a cord, such as Forex trading which can be a lucrative way to earn money, I found one only yesterday in pre launch and am already earning money from it. However there is more to marketing your business that simply sharing a URL. You need to know what it is you are selling, so that if people have questions you have the knowledge to answer them. Communication is one of the key to success.

There are many way of marketing your business such as phoning, emailing, using traffic exchanges and blogging to name a few. Most opportunities will also provide some basic advise on how to get started and even provide some sample copy to get going. Notice I said "get you going", you need to take action and to learn to develop your own advertising copy to put you unique stamp on what it is you are selling. Just posting the same message every day will not work.

So where do you get new content, well you can get some from the company, product or service you are promoting. the rest you will get from searching the Internet. You are looking for content which will interest your customers and explain more about what you are selling.

Do not just copy and paste information, if you find an article that interest you, rewrite it in you own words expanding or contracting as necessary to make the content your own. When you have written a few hundred articles on a particular subject you will often find you own creative juices begin to flow just by reading a snippet of information.

Some people are better at talking than writing, in which case they can write about what they are talking about. The more you write and talk about your business, the more knowledge you will gain and this will improve the marketing of you business.

A colleague of mine says

Learning how to build a stable home based business is very much the same. When we start this journey, the phone is the best tool to use right away. However, most people fear the phone. My belief is the phone is scary to people because they do not know what to say to the person on the other end

Marketing Your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Co-operative marketing

Now all businesses like to have their websites showing on the page one of Google, and many do this by bidding on keywords for Pay Per Click (PPC) or paid adverting, which can produce quick results but is also quite costly, the alternative is to build backlinks to a site, each of which contains the keyword where the site is to appear in search engine results and also must have some content about the keyword link.

Building backlinks for marketing your business can take a lot of time and effort and this is where co-operative marketing comes in. One form of co-operative marketing is to exchange links with another business owner, however this is not recommended as the best links are one way links and you need to ensure that your keyword is in the link text.

What you really want to do is form a co-operative marketing group where you agree to add an advertisement for someone else to the content of your normal marketing your business campaign for a period of time. Now you could charge people a fee for this or else agree that each member of the marketing group will have a turn in providing an advert. Some people are averse to this idea of advertising, but one only has to look at News papers and magazines all of which carry adverts, which actually increase readers experience. In the case of the Internet one has to remember that these links will also be spread across the members social groups in a viral fashion, helping to build thousands of backlinks.

For example this marketing your business tip is from my co-op group:-

Productive work is what will make you money for the long term. Busy work is a waste if time which has no guarantee. Of course in the long term, that so called "busy work" might pay off; yet, in the start of building a business from home it is crucial to use the phone and talk to real people and have actual conversations to build rapport and trust. This is the key to building a successful home based business. .

Marketing Your Business
Is it easy to market your business

Marketing you business is not easy and that is why large and medium size companies hire advertising agencies to the the work for them, but a small business owner cannot afford to do this and so has to do the marketing and advertising themselves.

If you have been around a bit you will have run across comment marketing, and it often abused because the ill-informed try to build links to their own sites, by placing comments and links on other peoples blogs and forums, which have absolutely nothing what ever to do with what they are selling. In fact for this reason in recent Google algorithm changes some popular sites lost ranking positions due to poor quality links. I personally do not allow any comments on my blogs, because I am not prepared for other people to benefit from my hard work.

Well placed and constructed backlinks are what is needed when marketing your business. The best backlink is one that contains a keyword or phrase that appears on both sites, but all backlinks need to link to a site which contains more information about that particular link text. You can place a backlink in a signature box of a blog or forum post and they work best if the content you are writing about is relevant to the link.

For example this post is about home based business:-

Network marketing is a wonderful idea for entrepreneurs to think about when starting or looking at a particular business model. The benefits of network marketing gives people the ability to start a business from the ground up with very little overhead or investment on their part without the need to hold inventory. This of course means that there is no need to carry or ship products to customers. Network marketing allows the customers of a particular company the opportunity to become distributors who spread the word about the company's products creating the perfect model for any home based business.

You content should not read like a sales blurb but instead provide quality information about your product or services that your readers will find interesting. This is a true test and is an area where many people fail, because they try to market something they have no knowledge about. It akin to opening up a restaurant with now knowledge of food, or purchasing a yacht and not knowing about sailing.

Marketing Your Business Tips

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Daily Routine

I have a question for you today, do you market your business everyday? Now some of you will say yes, I send out my email message to my lists everyday, well that is great but I hope not exactly the same boring message. you customers or potential customers are not interested in what you say you are earning what they want to know is more about how your products and services will help them, so you need to drop the sales pitch and provide useful contents.

I write about 300-500 words about marketing your business every day 24/7/365, if I do not write something I fell guilty. The article I write I then use multiple times, sending it to blogs, forums, websites, social sites such as Google+, LinkedIn and Facebook. Now some people will say who that is duplicate content, but the answer is no because every site is slightly different. I also use classified ads and free webpages and all of these posts build backlinks to my business.

Google and other search engines reward you for supplying new content and relevant keyword specific links to your site by ranking your sites in the keywords of your choice which I covered in my earlier posts.

Depending upon my thought processes, I can usually complete this part of marketing my business in about an hour and then I can set about answering emails and contacting leads developed by my marketing system

I am developing a marketing seminar and Invite you to take a short survey to provide feedback on how you market your business at the moment.

Marketing Your Business Tips

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Meta Tags

Using Metatags to market your business, now some so called experts suggest that you not longer need to use metatags when marketing online, but I know for a fact that is always improves your results, so what are meta tags,they are coding placed in the header of a web page or document which provide information for a search engine spider to use when indexing a page. some common tags are shown below

html
head
title Philippine travel /title
meta name="Generator" content="EditPlus"
meta name="Author" content=""
meta name="Keywords" content=""
meta name="Description" content=""
/head

body
This Is where content of website is placed
/body
/html

Now the title of the document will dictate where the site will appear so if we want our site to be placed under Philippine Travel that name need to appear in the title.

We also need to place Philippine travel as one of the keywords alongside other keywords that we have researched.

The description that we type in will be what appears in search results and need to include your main keyword, if you fail to enter a description the search engine will gather some information from you site which might not be relevant to the content.

The body of the website needs to contain good content that expands on the title and keywords, which will involve quite a lot on writing. When writing content is should flow naturally without repeating keywords to many times.

Marketing Your Business - Keywords

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Keywords

Yesterdays blog was about selecting keywords and today we are going to the next stage and going to use the Alexa.com site to further examine keywords relating to Philippine travel. now you will need to use the advance search features and set country to Philippines.

Now here is a keyword tip use the singular term Philippine to get the most results and it also contains the plural Philippines, so entering Philippine travel, and looking below the advertisers we see a number of general sites such as Google, Wikia, etc which we ignore but on page two come across with a rank of 735,000 Filipino Travel Center with a rank of 735,000, which is interesting as its below the 1,000,000 which is where we want our site to rank. go to the site and look at the search characteristics and you will notice that Cebu Pacific the local airline tops the search traffic, this could also be a good keyword for your site as your potential customers are likely to use the airline.

Take a look also at the sites linking in, you might want to consider linking to some of these sites yourself such as backpackers.com.tw and scubaboard.com. You are probably starting to realise now that marketing and keyword research is a much bigger subject, than just grabbing a keyword out of thin air. Keyword research can take weeks or months but is time well spent to ensure that you will build a site that will become popular.

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Keywords

There are many steps one needs to take to to market an online business, the first of which is to identifying you target customers. One way of doing this is to use Google tools such as the Adwords keyword selector, Google and Alexa search. you have to put yourself in the position of a potential customer, what words are they likely to enter into a search engine and find your site.

They may for example enter your company name if they know it, but it is more likely they will use some other phrase, let us suppose your are a travel company in the Philippines offering tours to inbound tourists perhaps you might start with the words Philippine travel.

The Google keyword tool will then produce a listing of keywords related to Philippine travel such as Philippine travel tours, Philippine travel guide, together with a listing of expected monthly search and how competitive the keyword is, i.e. how difficult it might be to get to page one of search results.

Once you have say half a dozen options, then go to the second stage and enter each in to Google and make a note of the number of PPC adverts which appear in the results, if there are no adverts it probably means it is not a good keyword to use. you will also see who your competitors are likely to be.

Do the same thing in Alexa and look at the Alexa rankings of your competitors and also what are their popular keyword searches.

By the time you have finished this exercise you will have a good ideas of what keywords you need to have in your site, and then its a matter of testing them out. which I will deal with in my next blog

Are you using Your Free Verblog

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Using your Vereblog

I really find it hard to understand why it that virtually no new user to Veretekk bothers to setup up their Vereblog. I do not know if it lack of confidence to write or lack of understanding of how a simple action of posting information can build backlinks and promote your business for FREE.

Yes this a FREE resource why do you not use it. When you write your blog post it will appear on you profile, you can even set it up so it is the default page for your profile. Your vereblog will also show up on all your friends pages, building additional backlinks.

You vereblog post can also be sent out to you email contact via a simple click of a few buttons, shared on multiple social sites, with the click of a few buttons and also shared in Veretekk groups, posted to 1st family classifieds and made into stand alone web sites using Freepage. you Simple FREE blog post can turn viral and be read by hundreds if not thousands of peoples building backlinks to your profile and business for FREE.

I actually hate promoting Free things, due to all the freeloaders who are never prepared to spend money and just waste people time but this simple tool and action of posting every day will get you results.

Ok now you know who will see it, what are you going to write about. Start with writing about yourself or something that interests you, it can be anything, travel, sport, life experience, business, product reviews, health tips, but please NO SELLING

Attach a signature file to the end of each post to sites you want to promote and that is where what I call the silent selling is done, if people like what you are writing about they will follow the links. The Vereblog attracts search engine spiders to what I call this spider food of content and will also follow these links for more information.

The first task is for you to take action and start writing as you gain confidence you will start to modify what you write about to provide answers for people that are searching for information.

You will not get any results if you do not take action, so come on pull your finger out and get going if you want success. Still cant get going, then Write a post giving reasons why you cannot follow this simple idea. Or perhaps you prefer to pay me $50 a day and I will do it for you:)

Keywords for marketing your business

I have noticed that many people sign up for veretekk and then seem to do nothing, expecting things to happen automatically. Yes the system is a great inter grated marketing machine but you need to learn both how to set it up and how to use it, just logging in on a daily basis will not bring success.

Keywords

One of the first things you need to understand is the importance of keywords, so what is a Keyword. A keyword is a word or phrase that someone  types into a search engine query box to find what they are looking for. Now your job is to find keywords that best describe the business or service that you are offering. Popular keywords such as "marketing" show in a lot of search results and competition can be high, so you  need use tools such as  Google Adwords Keyword Tool

Now you need to bear in mind that this tools is designed to help pay per click advertisers choice which keyword they wish to bid on but we can also use it for our research, together with entering keyword in both Google and Alexa search boxes to see the results. Generally speaking if you see no paid adverts for a particular keyword it is not a good one but there are some exceptions for instant in names of People, or search which include a location name.

When starting out you may research about half a dozen keywords about your business and these will become the main keywords that you will write about and promote to build backlinks to your business. follow this link to watch my keyword video for more information.

Free Seminar on Business Marketing

Thomas Prendergast
Veretekk CEO

This Wednesday at Noon (May 16, 2012) at 12pm noon PST I will be hosting a special open house for the newly subscribed and seasoned members of Veretekk.

This event will cover the V2 Integration capabilities that have recently become even more powerful than ever. (And you can plagiarize this you have my permission) Integration

You are hearing a lot about integration within Veretekk especially with the launch of V2. But most people do not fully grasp the term and how it plays in V2. Let me try to illustrate this powerful aspect of V2. in·te·grate
[in-ti-greyt] Show IPA verb, in·te·grat·ed, in·te·grat·ing. verb (used with object)

  1. to bring together or incorporate (parts) into a whole.
  2. to make up, combine, or complete to produce a whole or a larger unit, as parts do.
  3. to unite or combine.
A note about my background and experience: I started into Marketing at a very young age. In a thumbnail, I was born to be an artist. My parents were horrified about this claiming that artist starve to death. This freaked me out. So I bought many books on marketing art and marketing in general. One of those books, "Confessions of an Advertising Man", by David Ogilvy I purchased in 1980. That book changed my life. In 1984 Soon after I acquired my first computer and the quest to merge was on.

I coined the term back in the 90s as Data Base Marketing, but today, with the advent of a progressing Internet, and related technologies, what was a tactical or strategic action in the 80s today is represented by a digital counterpart.

Today's Internet Marketer is by far a lot less qualified to be in marketing than his counterpart 20 years ago. Today one can just claim to be an SEO master or an Internet Marketer simply because the information to discover the basics and intricacies to do so are at everyone's fingertips. This does not diminish the effectiveness of today's marketer over the marketing agency of 20 years ago, it just establishes that things have changed on a massive scale.

20 years ago it took a Marketing Department to accomplish what most Internet marketers set upon themselves to do today on their own. (This is why so many fail and/or have a chronic case of ADD; Attention Deficit Disorder). NOTE: "I suffer from this myself"

The marketing tools of the Internet, the ability to measure results, the ability to research on the Internet is a dream come true to a seasoned and long time experienced ad man as myself. But it also brings with it a serious risk potential and that is the undertaking of keeping track of and updating each of the aspects that compromise Internet Marketing today.

Back before the Internet an ad agency had many people for each respective responsibility, one department for sending direct mail, another for tradeshows and conferences and yet another for display advertising and printed material, press releases, radio ads, conventions, etc.....

This is why the majority of Internet marketers are tactical (focused mostly on one aspect like SEO) instead of being strategic, having a full focus of research, analysis, multifaceted campaigns using all the tools required for full scale Internet marketing, keeping it organized and processing the constant information caused by such a campaign.

Tools ie:

  • Hosting for domains and websites
  • Auto responders email for follow-up communications
  • Web Conference Rooms for live meetings, educational seminars, training connecting.
  • SEO systems, back links, authority sites, forums, blogs, etc.
  • Display advertising
  • A social networking system and management
  • Lead generating systems or resources for a steady inventory of leads.
  • Contact data management system, calendars, reminders component.

The need to integrate all these aspects is paramount otherwise the marketing campaign is limited to a tactical approach, with poor management and even worse results. IE: hit and miss attempts, scattered approaches caused by lack of a solid strategy, impulsively running from one idea to another, the results are mediocre at best and worse, forgetting what was done in the past as this method also lacks tracking the posts, ads, and tactics, etc. used.

I have seen competent SEO marketers run from one domain to another, buying more domains and creating sites just for posting more content on pointing to other sites pointing to other sites creating a mass of gibberish that at best might increase an Alexa ranking to some degree but never really amounting to anything but time wasted.

This same phenomena can be seen with many people on the Internet running from one business idea or opportunity to the other. With no clear-cut objective, this is why most Internet marketers fail.

When you integrate the entire process, from research analysis (keeping track of that), keyword analysis, targeted content, pre written letters ready for your sequential mail auto responders, team building with a symbiotic group, videos and audio animations and screen captured demos, capture pages (tested with your group in our Bull Pen: focus groups increase the overall effectiveness of design and strategy), blogging and other partners in your group blogging on your behalf, back linking strategies and keeping track of the thousands of authority site memberships for additional effect, ratings with Google Page ranks and Alexa ranks and tracking that, traffic tracking, running display ads and managing that, running Google adsense ads, Facebook Ads etc and tracking, radio ads and cableTV ads. Whew!

All of this seems very overwhelming to accomplish 'on your own'. However the very core of Veretekk and it's services and benefits allows you to run full throttle professional campaigns like this without resorting to hiring an agency to do it, or having a dozen or so unrelated services in an attempt to run something akin to this on your own

This level of marketing is what you will see from top income earners and the very successful among the halls of the top ranked members of Internet Marketing. This is the "why" for why we built Veretekk.

It is called integration. The entire Veretekk system is completely integrated so you can ramp up and run a far more effective marketing campaign. Ad to this the Market Manager and the fact that V2 social network element gives you the added benefit of building a symbiotic group to make your efforts that much more powerful.

This Wednesday May 16, 2012 at 12pm NOON PST I will be conducting another 2-3 hour seminar

To attend this free seminar Click Here and scroll to bottom of page enter you name and select the event

12:00 PM - Veretekk Inc. V2 Marketing Integration
You are hearing a lot about integration within Veretekk especially with the launch of V2. But most people do not fully grasp the term and how it plays in V2. At this seminar I will illustrate this powerful aspect of V2. Invite your guests. It's open house

Marketing Your Business Tips

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Keywords and Search Results

I was in the Warriors forum today and someone was proudly boasting he had his site at no one in Google for his local cleaning company. but he complained his description was rubbish.

The reason being he had forgotten to add metatags to his site. Without metatags Google does not know what you want to display. you must remember to spend a little time setting up metatags on any site where you have access.

Google and other search engines are always seeking to present the results you are searching for, which is great however you need to ensure that when you are researching keywords or looking to find on what page your site appears to log out of application such as Google+.

For many years I have had a top ranking site for Lose Weight USA usually in the top 3 out of 80M but if I am logged into Google+ I have positions 2,3,4 and I also show as position 10 for weight loss with 210M results...great for the ego but not for business.

Matters can be further complicated by using local searches say for the Philippines where of course by site would not appear in results.

Another useful tool to use when researching keywords is Google Trends, which follow news items in this case you can clearly seen that items about weight loss are growing in popularity

Weight Loss trends

Not shown here are the links to the news items concerned, which one can follow in order to create extra content for your daily posts.

Marketing Your Business in the Philippines

Life in the Philippines
Internet marketing in the Philippines

Like many Asian countries the Philippines has many budding entrepreneurs, who struggle to start online businesses due to lack of money. Low end affiliate programs with an out lay of $5-10 per month is a favourite, however this type of program rarely provides help on how you should market apart from approaching friends and family, which is certainly not the surefire way to success.

So where can you learn to market and promote your business. Well marketing not only entails learning but also requires tools and additional outlays for purchasing sites and blogs, business leads, autoresponders for sending messages, conference rooms etc The costs will soon mount up so you should be prepared to spend another $30-60 per month which puts it out of reach of the average wage earner in the Philippines.

Is there a solution, yes I think there is, I have an introduction package to an online community and worldwide hub of professional marketers! which costs nothing to join.

You will be able to develop your own webpage profile complete with a blog and videos which you can use to both promote your business and communicate with like minded people and at the same time learn the tricks of the trade to successfully get started with advertising your business.

Till the next time

Video training

I have just reached a major milestone in my series of marketing your business videos, so far the videos have been concerned with showing you how to set up and configure your marketing system.

Todays video is entitled Daily Advertising Routine, and for the first time you are linking your system together. Notice I used the word "linking". This routine will be the start of building quality backlinks to the business you are building. the main readers of the information are search engines, that is why virtually all of my posts have no graphics, as search engines cannot read pictures but have to rely on the "alt" tag.

Yes some of the content may be read by humans as the same advert goes out in email format and the content is informative providing information about goods or services, if a reader is interested they have details of how to contact me and links to by business to serve themselves.

Now some people may have read that Google and other search engines do not like duplicate content, but we have not produced duplicates, it only takes as little as one word change in a page and it is unique, so by using different formats through our systems this content is unique.

Marketing your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Researching your market

I have been researching the Philippines seeking an angle in order to promote my business services locally. The problem seems to be twofold, the first is lack of money. Wages here are so low there is rarely anything left after meeting everyday cost. The other problem is the small number of Filipinos who own their own computer, only 11% according to the latest consumer finance survey. I actually find this a little surprising as the country is in the top 10 of facebook users. Perhaps they are making use of the many Internet cafe's and mobile phones.

The current cost of subscribing to my marketing and adverting services would use up 25% of an average persons income, so it is probably a non starter for a private individual.

I will therefor need to concentrate on the business market and provide some alternative product for home entrepreneurs.

Veretekk has recently launched a social/business site, where you can find the answers to many of your question, from professionals from around the world who also provide mentoring. Stop by sometime and see what is going on.

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your Business

Yesterday I was reading "Confessions of an Advertising Man" by David Ogilvy, whilst waiting for my partner, and he was writing about how he only like to have clients who were themselves successful. This is very true as success generally breads success.

Mix with the right people and your business will succeed, you only have to look at any established business club and you will find boundless opportunities, its a bit like the old school tie which can sway things in your favour.

When you have a new business with no track record, you need every bit of help you can find especially when working online, so where can you go for help.

Many people now look to the Internet as a source of salvation from job losses happening in the real world but often do not know where to start.

Advertising Your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Business

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your Business

One of the most important parts of advertising is to be easy to contact: Every single brochure, box, video,email, website, blog and all company literature should have full contact information including: website and email address, phone and fax numbers, and company address. It seems simple but is forgotten by most companies.

When advertising online also make sure to provide links to more information about you and your company, people tend to buy from people they trust.It has become human nature to distrust advertising. Claims need to be real and credible. Roy H. Williams, best-selling author of the "Wizard of Ads" says,

"Any claim made in your advertising which your customer does not perceive as the truth is a horrible waste of ad dollars."

Provide information about your products and services rather than a hard sell.Create ads that generate interest and make the customer want to contact you for more information.

Test your advertising: Large businesses have a greater margin to waste capital and resources without testing advertising. Small businesses do not have the luxury. Use coupons, codes, and specials to measure the headline, timing, and placement of your ad. Test only one item at a time and one medium. Testing can be as simple as asking every customer for several weeks how they heard of your business.

Marketing Your Business Tips

Original Article @ David Ogdens Training Videos

Marketing Your Business
Daily routine

Marketing and advertising your business is a daily routine which will bring you success but many people find it difficult to organise themselves, or come up with a blank when faced with the prospect of providing content for a blog.

It is very important that you know about your business and understand what it is you are selling and to be honest this is where people fall short. We have all seen the ads "make $500 a day" but unless you know what you are selling you are never going to earn that much.

If you know your business you should be able to write a 300-500 word blog post in an hour or less, when content runs short do a search of magazines, journals, online articles etc connected with your business to restart your thought process.

I generally keep a copy of all my posts, which means I can go back and edit them to produce a new post.

Once you have your content then if you have a marketer dashboard you can use this so send out a blog and emails to your friends and subscribers as well as link posts to social networks and sites without having to leave your dashboard.

The more friends you have on the marketer dashboard, the greater exposure your posts will have with no extra effort on your part.

So a couple of hours a day is all that is needed to promote your business.

NOTE
The basic dashboard is free but when you become a gold subscriber at $54.95 per month a whole new world opens up with lead generation and SEO portals, state of the art conference rooms, training, professional hosting and virtual 24/7 support thrown in.

Marketing Your Business in the Philippines

Life in the Philippines
Business in the Philippines

I have been looking for some time for a forum in the Philippines to build business contacts and gather information and came across

entrepeneur
Alexa ranking116,472 ,and I thought great ranking site, a good place to hang out and share my experience. The only problem and it effects many forums is that people do not read or fail to understand the forum rules, and post a whole lot of rubbish.

A forum is generally a place for discussion not for advertising your business, except in places set aside for such activity

I have drawn the moderators attention to a couple of issues and hopefully some of the posts will be removed, which will greatly improve the forum.

One of the problems in the Philippines at least where I live in the south is lack of money, temporary office workers for local government receive around 5,000 peso a month and may spend 2,000 on accommodation which does not leave much to live, let alone to put some aside to start a business, so it is no wonder they bite at anything that is free. My own business services cost the equivalent of 2,300 peso a month and are aimed at small business owners or even people providing virtual office services, which is actually something that many people in the Philippines provide.

Watch UK TV Anywhere

Life in the Philippines
TV in the Philippines

TV in the Philippines generally is based on American style programs and it is rare to find a service which offers programs from the BBC let alone sport such as Rugby, although now the Philippines are taking up Rugby sevens and Rugby league perhaps there will be more coverage, otherwise you have to put up with Baseball, Basketball, Snooker and of course football.

TV reception is often interrupted by bad weather, tropical rainstorms and high winds, so I have been looking for alternatives. now I did come across one piece of software which allowed viewing of TV programs from around the world, but this only offered recorded programs ,so was something of a rip off, however last week I found a company which offered UK TV programs from the BBC and ITV.

I subscribed to the program and found it seemed to work well over my broadband connection, having been a fan of Doctor Who since it was first introduced many years ago I was pleased to see it was still running and was able to watch one of the latest episodes. I also caught up on UK breakfast time news and a rugby game. All in all I was quite impressed. I did suffer a little spooling delay when watching the rugby game but that was because my partner was also downloading something from the Internet at the same time.

So if there are any Expats out there missing out of programs from home they should check out Expats Telly I recommend it

Marketing Dashboard

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your business

I can hardly wait for for the weekend to arrive in order to evaluate my new business dashboard, it is something that many people dream about owning.

Anyone who has been advertising their business online for a number of years will probably have collected or used many different programs and pieces of software to develop their business. The problem is they are not designed to work together. You might have built a site on Wordpress, hosted at Godaddy with an auto responder from Aweber and a conference room from goto meeting. You have made sales videos at You Tube and keep in touch with your friends, via Facebook, Twitter and Skype. Does this sound familiar.

You end up retyping or copying information from one system to another which can be very time consuming. you probably also have developed an number of online profiles on different system which you try to keep up to date.

Now just suppose there was a intuitive system which from the outset has been designed not only to get your message out there but also to gather leads and enable you to keep in touch with like minded people, to whom you can turn to for advice on many diverse subjects at any time of the day or night.

Well one of my catch phrases has been

Turning your Dreams into Reality

Regional advertising

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your business

Regional advertising as the name suggest focuses on local adverting corresponding to a particular region or place. This involves the use of all the basic tactics and techniques used for any sort of successful advertising campaign for the promotion of a particular company's services or products. Regional advertising is often overlooked but can be a lucrative form of advertising.

The techniques involved in the regional advertising is often focussed on a smaller and regional search engines and also local directories which makes a good business sense.

The listings in the web directories and the search engines under the regional category for example with the websites like the DMOZ.com and yahoo brings about the site under more relevant search results.

Regional means within the country and therefore it is vital to use a domain which is based in that specific company in use. For example co.UK is used for United Kingdom just as .ca is used for Canada. These are often used in the domain names also so as to be able to target the multiple regional markets and also search engines.

There is also the question as to what language should be used, whilst English will usually prevail some people prefer to read items online in their native language, so I would suggest sites be written in duel language.

Advertising your business

Today I attended a webinar hosted by Veretekk's marketing Director Butch Hamilton and he was talking about examining where your target market is situated. Many people make the mistake of advertising globally when they are only offering goods and services locally.

I remember some years ago working with a company that started a GoLocal advertising campaign which turned out to be highly successful as each distributor targeted their own particular area rather than nationally or globally.

Google technology brought local search to the forefront in the past year so you can set now set your search default to any particular town to obtain results which are more likely to be of use to you.

If you are operating a local business online it can be beneficial to include the name not only as a title but also in the name of the website. I have done this myself successfully in the past when selling property with a site called apartmentforsalekotakinabalu. A daily advertising campaign was set up on the Internet using my marketing tools and within two months I had completed the sale of my property.

When you are setting out your next advertising campaign consider your local options you might be surprised by the results.

Google

Google is now advising website owners that its future direction in providing search results will rely more heavily on web content rather than grey hatted SEO work. This will mean that sites which have little or no SEO techniques applied to them but have otherwise good content will rise up the results.

The changes as and when they are implemented will certainly help the small business owner who often does not even know what SEO is. The days of some so called SEO specialists may be numbered as content becomes king.

Former Google Webmaster Central creator Vanessa Fox made the following comments

"I don't think it's about just mom and pop vs. big brands,---- Lots of big brands don't know the first thing about SEO. I think (total guess on my part) the sites that will be negatively impacted are those that focus on algorithms and build content/sites based on the things what they think the algorithms are looking for. The kind of sites where someone didn't say 'I want this page to rank for query X. How can this page best answer what the searcher is asking about X' but instead said 'I want this page to rank for query X. How many times should I repeat X in my title, heading, content on the page, internal links…"

Sounds like good news to me, all this page density mumbo jumbo and worrying how to Panda updates effect results will perhaps come to an end.

Advertising Your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your business

One of the main reasons for advertising is to brand your business, now when I think of corned beef the brand Fray Bentos come to mind, a company established in 1899 which is best known for its range of canned meat pies, including steak and kidney and minced beef and onion.

At the end of last year it was taken over by Baxters and Baxters chairman Audrey Baxter said:

"Like Baxters, Fray Bentos is a heritage brand and is known the length and breadth of the country, holding a special place in the hearts of British consumers both young and old.

We have many exciting ideas to revitalise the brand as we aim to secure a strong foothold in the canned meat market."

It will be interesting to see how they advertise in the future. One thing I am sure of is that they will not become involved in discount advertising which has been the death knell of many brands.

A brand that starts discounting initially attracts new customers, but in doing so cuts its profits and when it stops discounting consumers move gravitate back to their original source. The company is then in a more difficult position having less revenue to spend on advertising to maintain the image of the brand.

If you have a business think carefully how you advertise particularly with special or free offers carry out market research and try to model the results.

Advertising Your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Advertising your business

Advertising play a very important part in marketing your business, but one needs to keep updated with the latest trends and techniques, for instance there was a time that when you included a coupon in an advert it was placed at the top of the copy in the centre, yes a great headline however now your coupon is best placed at the bottom right hand corner where it can be easily clipped off and used, leaving the rest of the copy intact.

Adverts placed in corner shops or supermarkets can take this a step further with having tear off strips a the bottom of every advert, so many people can take advantage of the offer.

When advertising online it is important to provide facts and information about your products or services. One advantage of online advertising is you can use racking codes to see how many time the advert is opened and correlate that with actual sales. You can also use pay per click advertising.

You may prepare email advertising campaigns running over weeks and months providing your subscribers with information about your products and services but take great care with the content, no one like to receive the same old sad advert containing information sent to them in the previous mail. they need something new and informative.

Email

Now I have never been an advocate of using free email system, such as AOL, Hotmail, yahoo and Google, because it does not look very professional if you have an Internet site not to use an email address connected to your companies website.

Google however is now beginning to make inroads as Gmail's growth has been rapid over the last couple years and is unlikely to slow, especially given the recent user interface changes that make Gmail even more convenient and easy-to-use. Gmail is even changing the B2B perspective on email addresses, as more and more professionals are relying on the service through Google Apps to meet their business needs.

Email is beginning to come more socialised with the spread of 3G and 4G phone technology and consumers will often share links with others via email with friends. Yes there is still spam to contend with but savvy users may now have several email address using one for friend and family one for business and one for dealing with sites which may start spamming.

Advertsing Your Business

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Phone Contact

The phone is a very important marketing tool which is often abused by the use of automated diallers and the like. Far too many people use it to sell their products and services by using canned messages or advertising scripts. The most successful marketers are those that listen to their prospects or potential customers.

Now I used to actually hate telephoning people but it is essential to keep in contact with prospects and customers as you never know if email campaigns reach them or they turn them off. Many people use voicemail to monitor incoming calls, so you always need to be prepared to leave a message.

My own business involves assisting people to build successfully businesses with a selection of advertising tools, so yesterday I phoned a woman to find out what she was adverting but caught her just as she was going out so I called back today. I was somewhat taken a back when her opening words were "I am not interested" I was offering help and advise and she put the phone down.

Perhaps it was a bad hair day or some telephone marketer had been bugging her, but she was advertising something, I might have been a buyer, she may have lost a potential sale. For my part this is part of daily life some people you can help and some just do not listen. My golden rule is to listen first but in this case it did not work so instead I emailed her, but I doubt she will ever open the email.

Marketing Your Business Tips

Email advertising

Email adverting is one of the most fickle areas of marketing but the key is to always get permission – Without having permission (meaning every subscriber asked for you to email them), spam complaints will increase and people will ignore your emails — even worse, they may opt out altogether. Aside from upsetting your new subscribers, you will probably also get the boot from your email service provider or ISP for violating their policies.

Utilize email marketing campaigns instead of "newsletters" . With an email campaign, you can attract specific prospects and send them emails related to a particular topic.

Do not sell, provide information which is useful to your subscriber and let him decide when the time is right to purchase, you may have to mail him for a year or more.

More and more people are using mobile devices so you may need to redesign the email and landing pages so it's easy for mobile users – Realize that the popular iPhone has a viewable space of 320 x 356 pixels. That's not much compared to the real estate of your computer (probably above 1024 x 768). This means you should condense the width so they can read the email without resizing the message.

If you use images make your email readable without images enabled – For privacy reasons, most email clients disable images unless the user allows it. Because of this, any images you include in the email should have descriptive text set for the Alternative attribute.

Remember to provide subscribers with a method of unsubscribing and a note of when they subscribed is useful as often people forget what they signed up for and can accuse you of spam.

Marketing Your Business Tips

Marketing Your Business
Free Assistance

I was speaking with someone today who over the past few years has purchased many programs and joined site with the idea of creating an income and like many others has become disillusioned. His Latest venture started in December and like many before him he has been suckered into purchasing something but does not know how it works.

He has purchased a website which advertises phones and accessories and has been looking at free ways to market the site, which is how I found him. He told me the usual tale of false promises and no support. I suggested that free advertising was not really the answer. The first thing he needed to do was to cleanup his website which is based on a wordpress blog and remove many of the 19 add ins which not only confuse him but are liabilities rather than assets.

During our conversation it became apparent that he was at a complete loss at what to do, so I spend about an hour showing him how to do some simple cleaning up and how to post new data to his blog and suggested that in addition to the automated posts coming into his blog, he needed to start writing in more depth about telecommunications to provide more unique substance to his website. I also suggested that he needed to learn about marketing and that for around $55 a month he could obtain a comprehensive marketing system and unlimited training and support, He needs to set that as a short term goal.

I suggested that that as he writes his blog posts he could convert into stand alone web pages which will help advertise his website in other areas. I will follow his website over the the next week and see how he is getting on.
