Internet Advertising

Paid advertising in the form of Banner ads and Pay per click such as Google Adwords are a popular forms of advertising however for a small business they can quickly consume your advertising budget, but never the less provide a good return on your investment. They are not recommenced for the home business owner.

Many people make use of free classified sites which can be very effective when used correctly, and combined with content linking and creation

Content Linking and Creation
Content creation is the easiest way to advertise a business online provided you are a creative person or understand the business you are engaged in. This method of advertising relies on fresh content content to drive traffic to an online business in search engines and social media websites.

Each article or blog post created by a business gives it another opportunity to rank well within the search engines for the specific keyword each post relates to. Combined with social media sharing, content linking and creation is a very effective way to advertise an online business without a heavy overhead and cost.

Social Media Interaction
Social media is the culmination of websites, networks and connections. Web users have to interact with one another, talk and build relationships with one another. Social networks were originally intended as a way to find friends and share content but online businesses have caught up and use the social media for marketing purposes.

Online businesses that use social media have a greater ability at building an online presence, increasing their long-term sales and creating a great online brand. Social media will continue to evolve through technology but the main underlying factor will always be the connection between two people; or, in this case, a connection between an online business and its Customers.

Internet Advertising

Yesterday I had a call from a Gentleman in South Korea who was seeking information on Internet usage in the Philippines as his company is evaluating setting up an online Lottery. Now although I live in the country I have not yet started to target the local market as my gut feeling is they have a big learning curve.

I told him that lot of Filipinos used Sulit a kind of local Craigs list and most use Facebook and that was about the limit of my knowledge.

Today I have just completed a little searching which confirmed most of my feelings and am passing on the following information to him.

The Philippines population is relatively young and some 20% use Facebook. Between March 2010 and now the number of users has more than doubled to 27.5 Million with the country being in top 8 worldwide having overtaken both France and Germany. It is noted that some 40% are within the 18-24 years old age group.

Filipinos are the 9th biggest users worldwide of Twitter with 16.1% of the online population tweeting.

I have also dug up an old study from 2008 by McCann Universal where Filipinos ranked:

• First in social networking
• First in sharing photos
• First in viewing videos
• Second to South Korea in reading blogs
• Second to Brazil in sharing videos
• Fourth in writing blogs
• Fourth in downloading podcasts
• Sixth in using RSS/feeds

One result which did come as a surprise was from the 2008 report concerning blog writing and I need to look into this matter further, perhaps there is an opening for recruiting content writers

How Not to Advertise

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Internet Advertising

I actually came across this blogpost whilst research an article and think there are some lessons to be learnt

"The Fastest Way To Lose Weight – Guaranteed!
Long Lasting Energy That Shreds Away Extra Pounds
Formulated To Offset The Irritability That is Commonly Associated With Dieting
End Your Hunger Within 60 Minutes Of Your First Dose
Buy 2 Get 1 Free! Simply Add 3 To Your Cart and Get Discount at Checkout"

It seems there is one born every minute someone who opens their mouth before engaging their brain.

The writer is in such a hurry to sell weight a loss elixir that he has made elementary mistakes, yes he has got the word out but no links or contact information so no customers. Just as well it is a free WordPress blog otherwise he would be out of pocket on day one.

Yes the blog name loseweightfasts might not be too bad but Lose Weight is a high competition area and much more detail research needs to be undertaken. Time should have been taken to sort out the structure and content of the blog, remove the default headers "just another wordpress blog" and "hello world".

I really feel sorry for these type of people who seem to think there is easy money to be made on the Internet, there is no lack of information out there, but jumping in without planning and research will get them nowhere apart from blowing away their dreams.

Drawing up an advertising campaign is not to be taken likely and will often involve not only market research but testing, using different layouts and images,if you are looking for inspiration go to Ads of the World I am sure you will find a spark to help your thought processes

Internet Advertising Control

Generally speaking there has been little of no control of Internet adverting content, however thus is beginning to change, already in the USA legal requirements are being brought into play and it is illegal to make false or misleading claims in advertising. Online there are specific types of advertising considered misleading and may be illegal or strictly regulated.

Product reviews and endorsements are one area of online advertising recently (as of 2010) regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Websites, blogs and advertisers are not allowed to create fake review pages for products and are not allowed to endorse products when compensation is a factor without providing full disclosure of the compensation, including getting products at no cost for review purposes.

The above has resulted in many so called Independent Distributor sites coming under scrutiny and having to either comply with the new requirements or loose their distributorship.

Control outside the USA is at the moment more lax and generally freedom of speech prevails except with the likes of China, India and some other countries who practice or tend to practice some form of censorship, mainly connect in India's case with the widespread use of mobile phones, with Internet capability.

Mobile advertising is a new area and savvy companies now need to consider how their articles display on smaller portable devices

The Internet Marketing Agency

It is interesting, I have started to research "The Internet Marketing Agency" on Google some 5.75 million results, however I noticed that there was no advertising on the results page so I used the Google adwords keyword tool for the exact phrase and sure enough no results, so nobody is interested in bidding on this keyword. If a broader search is made, keywords such as "Internet marketing agency" and "web marketing agency " appear in the results which have moderate competition. These might be good keywords to pursue.

The Internet Marketing Agency when searched on Alexa does produce sites such as internetmarketingagency.com with an Alexa ranking of 1,465,103, so even though the domain name includes the sought after target keyword, its ranking is nothing to brag about and there appears to be a room for another site to target a top position for this keyword.

Hiring an Internet-marketing agency is cost effective unlike advertising. Advertising is very expensive, especially if it is carried out in traditional media like television, radio, and print. It can reach a large audience, but it is very expensive. Today, the Internet has changed everything because many people are using it extensively. In order to succeed in Internet marketing it is necessary that you search for a company that is equipped with qualified professionals who are at home with the complexities and scope of online marketing. If you get a good Internet marketing agency this will connected your business with different types of clients worldwide even when you are sleeping.

Email Advertising

Original Article @ Veretekk Internet Marketing Asia

Marketing Your Business
Email Advertising

Legitimate email advertising has got a bad name due to illicit use in recent years. There is however no reason not to use this form of adverting, but it's often not as cheap and effective as other forms of Internet marketing. The term "email marketing" generally refers to 2 strategic practices:

1. Sending e-mails to improve customer relationships. Either to maintain current customers, or re-invite old customers back for repeat business
2. Placing advertisements in e-mails which other organisations send to their customers who have signed up for a newsletter

Email marketing is a bit like a digital version of the traditional paper mail-outs businesses have sent their clients for years. Without printing costs, emailed newsletters usually end up being cheaper than traditional pamphlets, but only become really cost effective for huge e-newsletters with 500 000 or more recipients. The crucial factors for email marketing campaigns, are the number of recipients who receive, read, & respond to a mail-out, and finally convert to sales. Good adverting content is essential.

People unfamiliar with email advertising often wonder what all the fuss is about. Didn't spam kill email as a advertising vehicle? And if spam didn't kill it, what about blogs, Twitter and all the other clever ways we can communicate online? Isn't email outmoded? The answer is no, legitimate Businesses engage in email marketing because it works. And works well. Here are a few of the numbers...

• The DMA puts email marketing's ROI for 2011 at $40.56 for every $1 invested. The figure for 2012 is predicted to "fall" to $39.40, when email will account for $67.8 billion in sales (reference).
• A 2011 MerchantCircle survey of over 8,000 local business owners in the US found email marketing cited by 35.8% as a Top 3 most effective marketing or advertising method. Only social network profiles and search engine marketing scored higher
• A 2011 business survey by Ireland's Marketing Institute saw 84% claiming email marketing was important or very important to their marketing strategy (reference).
• In a 2011 Focus survey of marketers, the channel cited most often as the best performer over the previous 12 months was email

Online social networking sites like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter continue to grow in popularity. According to The Nielsen Company, the amount of time we spend on social networking and blogging sites increased 210% over the past year, with the leading sites boasting hundreds of millions of users.

These virtual communities are not only a great way to stay in touch with friends, but are also increasingly being used for online marketing and this has opened a door for scam artist.

Thieves are devising increasingly clever ways to use these popular sites to run their cons. They'll hack into an account, pass themselves off as your friend, and then trick you into downloading malicious software....or they'll make a desperate, emergency plea for you to send them cash to a mail box, Yes that has happened to me...or they'll lead you to a fake web site that asks you for your private banking information.

Another ploy are the quizzes and games that ask for your cell phone number so that the results can be sent to you—and you don't know you've been conned until you see mysterious charges on your next phone bill.

So how can you Protect yourself?

• If something you get from a friend looks strange maybe an odd-looking web address or wording that doesn't sound like something they'd write check with them or over the phone or skype, and ask if they sent you the message.
• To avoid your own account being hacked into, protect your login information and use strong passwords (easy for you to remember, but hard for others to guess) that you change frequently.
• Limit what you share on your profile page or as part of online games. Revealing information like birth dates, cell phone numbers, travel plans, and activities that take you away from home can expose you to all kinds of criminal activity, including identity theft, stalking, and home robbery.
• Install and run anti-malware software that can automatically block any malicious files before they land on your computer and do damage.

Security

Once you start advertising your business online you also open up your website to the risk of being hacked, so you need to take precautions. Serious hackers target popular websites, Military, universities, large companies etc as the challenge is to break their security. The risk to other sites come from amateur hackers who just want to disrupt peoples lives.

Passwords need to be secure, do not use words that can be found in a dictionary, in any language. Use a mixture of upper and lower case with numbers the longer the password the more secure it will be. If you use WordPress do not use Admin as a user name,

File transfers using FTP provides a major loophole, if you search on Google there are 33,000 results on how to hack FTP. FTP transfers files in plain text exposing your credentials, so you need to use a secure file transfer system (SFTP) which encrypts your data.

Wordpress has security issues and you need to keep the software up to date or go through the PHP files with a fine toothcomb and customise the system, simply hiding the login and admin PHP does not work because potential hackers know where to look for these files.

Take care when using any ad dons or widgets, where possible examine the code for possible exploits.

Advertising

Advertising Advertising techniques for many businesses include marketing strategy based primarily on word-of-mouth advertising. While word-of-mouth advertising is an excellent source for new customers; other advertising techniques should be utilized to retain your existing customers.

It is a well-known fact, that gaining a new customer is more expense than retaining an existing one! For that reason, retaining customers in a any economy is a matter of practicing good marketing techniques.

Recognizing and rewarding repeat customers is an excellent method for assisting those that are struggling to remain with your business due to increasing financial burdens.

For example:

• Depending on your business you could look to provide additional services that complement your main business.
• Offer some form of discount for multiple purchases such as buy three and get one free.

The possibilities are endless and require only a bit of imagination. Your customers will appreciate your courtesy and will in turn, reward you by repeat business that will more than pay for itself in the long run.

Marketing Your Business
Advertising

The very first key role of advertising and branding is generating awareness and recognition of a certain product or service. The second most important thing is to actually condition the minds of consumers as to what image you would want them to associate with the product, whether its cheap, durable, dependable, etc. This is the intrinsic value of advertising and branding and can be a little harder to determine. For example, if you mention toothpastes, what brand would first come to mind to consumers? Or if you ask for a most wonderful vacation hotspot, what would be the first word they would be likely blurt out? This does not necessarily mean they have actually been to that particular place, its their perception of the place for what they have seen and heard that made them believe its actually the top choice. I can still remember some adverts from my childhood such as Smash.

However, on the other side of the coin, once having established a very strong and powerful brand name, companies will find it hard to step away from its shadows. If in the future, the company would want to project a new image, or take on a different market position, it can be a difficult task to veer away for the identity that have been established. This would take another series of powerful marketing effort to transform the image of the product. It all whole new ball game, and a very expensive one at that. This is the beauty of advertising and branding. It is certainly the most powerful marketing tool that can make or break a company.

Marketing Your Business
Advertising

David Ogilvy is often know as the father of advertising, one of his first forays into advertising was to use postcards for direct selling and later on he became the genius behind the Dove advertising slogan

"Only Dove is one-quarter moisturizing cream".

He has written a book "Ogilvy on Advertising" which is a general commentary on advertising . In early 2004, Adweek magazine asked people in the business "Which individuals - alive or dead - made you consider pursuing a career in advertising?" and Ogilvy topped the list. His best-selling book Confessions of an Advertising Man is one of the most popular and famous books on advertising.

If you are needing to improve your advertising techniques I suggest you get a copy of his book from my book store.

Ogilvy's advertising mantra followed these four basic principles,

• Research: coming, as he did, from a background in research, he never underestimated its importance in advertising. In fact, in 1952, when he opened his own agency, he billed himself as research director.
• Professional discipline: "I prefer the discipline of knowledge to the anarchy of ignorance." He codified knowledge into slide and film presentations he called Magic Lanterns. He also instituted several training programs for young advertising professionals.
• Creative brilliance: had a strong emphasis on the "BIG IDEA."
• Results for clients: "In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create."

Advertising

Advertising is essential for any business, and like every area of business you need to establish a plan about what you want to accomplish.

You need to be as precise as you can as to why you are advertising and what you want to achieve. Everyone wants advertising to increase business, but for your advertising plan to work it requires you to be more precise. Below are some suggested goals for your advertising:

• Increase awareness of your business.
• Attract competitors' customers.
• Increase the likelihood of keeping current customers and developing their loyalty.
• Generate immediate sales or sales leads.

You may want your advertising to achieve all of these goals plus some others. What is important is that you prioritise your goals. Advertising works best when it is developed to meet one specific goal at a time.

You need to understand who you are advertising to when marketing your business. Once you determine your advertising goals you can then select the target audience for your message. Advertising that tries to reach "everyone" rarely succeeds. Remember successful advertising is written with a specific customer in mind.

Backlinks

Backlinking is a very important part of marketing your business. The most valuable backlinks are from sites which have a low Alexa ranking or a high page rank, but getting links from this kind of site can be difficult. One of the rules for backlinking is to ensure the anchor text contains the keyword or keyword phrase which can also be found on the site you are marketing.

The page or site you are backlinking from must also be relevant to the subject of your link. It is also preferable to have only an inward link to your site rather than reciprocal links. the more links that come into your site the more authoritive you business becomes, so how do you set about building backlinks.

To jump start marketing your business I suggest following a proven strategy of building 500 single webpages and 1000 classified ads, now this may sound like a lot of work. You may ask yourself what will you write about, the answer is about your business. If you cannot write about your business and what you are selling, how are you expecting people to purchase your goods or services.

I use a free webpages site, which carried no advertising, where you just need to fill in a template, you do not even need to have knowledge of HTML or website design, just type in content about 300-500 words. The site itself has an Alexa Ranking around 204 thousand and is frequented by search engine robots.

I place classified ads on 1 family Classifieds one of the oldest classified sites on the Internet with an Alexa ranking of 110 thousand. Here is an important note your advertisement needs to be written as a short keyword specific article for search engines rather than human readers, so no fancy colours, pictures etc.

Business Leads

Following on from yesterdays article on business leads I received an email from someone in the USA, who had recently joined an MLM business.

Now there is nothing basically wrong with an MLM business, however teaching people to try and involve friends and family is likely to turn more people off instead of jump starting a business. The company concerned seems to concentrate on face to face gatherings very much like Amway (I used to be a member many years ago until I moved to Cyprus) which is fine if you know a lot of people. Modern day living however often means you do not even know your neighbours, so how do you set about building the List than MLM representatives suggest.

You need to carry out some research on the products you are selling. lets say for instance its a weight loss product, which is a huge market but also very competitive. Maybe your product has some unique ingredient, which you can exploit in your marketing campaign. You need to learn about the product and your competitors.

Armed with this information, the next step is to formulate a list of keywords and build a simple lead capture page together with a series of emails explaining all about your product.

The final step is to advertise you new site, this is perhaps the hardest part, as you need to get into the habit of writing short articles of interest on the subject of weight loss in this case on a daily basis.

Business Leads

Where do you get your business leads from, now some people buy them which frankly is a big mistake as you do not know the source, many people sell lists but unless you know how people came to be added to the list the chances are that all you will do is waste your money.

The best source of business leads is to develop your own and you can do this is a variety of ways offering free services or products. the quality of the lead will depend on what it is you are actually providing for free, for example offering a free computer will attract a lot of people wanting a computer, however if you are providing a subscription to as series of articles about "marketing your business" you are more likely to attract business entrepreneurs who are seeking information this will require a subscription type box to capture information such as:

A person who signs up for a subscription can then be sent a series of articles over the following days and weeks. You need of course to ensure that subscribers have away to unsubscribe at any time.

Many people build large lists of leads but forget to communicate with them, the older the leads the harder it will be to build up a relationship with them. there is nothing wrong with having a large list but you must keep it active. A dormant list is not good for marketing your business.

How Long does it take to get results

This is the age of instant gratification, where people want success yesterday, unfortunately the Internet does not work that way, yes you can have instant communications but building a business will always take time.

You will see many so called business opportunities but to be honest 99.9% are rubbish and should not be considered as a business, they are designed to separate people from their money, so that the only ones that make money are those who start up the opportunity. Some are easy to recognise with words like "Pre Launch, earn $100 a day, make $10,000 per month"

Marketing your business needs to start long before you pay for anything. You do not make an investment on the stock market before researching the stock of the company and its the same with Internet opportunities. If you are considering joining a new venture look at its Alexa ranking if the ranking is over 100,000, give it a miss.

You might ask why did I say that, well the Internet is packed full of websites going nowhere fast, largely as a result of the fact that anyone can build a website and promote any kind of rubbish and a lot of them are wordpress blogs, which is one of the reasons that all wordpress blogs rank so badly.

Getting to the top of Google is easy for non competitive keywords, however appearing at the top of a list is one thing but you need to have buying customers and that can be an entirely different matter. Potential customers these days are quite sophisticated and need information so you need to ensure you meet their needs with what you are offering. You must know everything about your business otherwise you will fail.

Marketing Your Business

Marketing Your Business
Repetitive Marketing

Many so called marketers have a push button mentality, firmly believing that sending out exactly the same message on a daily basis will result in sales, this cannot be further from the truth. All it does is turn people off. Below is a Veretekk support chat extract which occurred a couple of days ago from one of these type of people:-

[23:08:56] *** wiland697 joined. ***
23:28:18]wiland697 I used to be a Veretekk Gold Members many years ago, I am a silver again, however, I went to the Bully Pulpit and to try to blast my ad to the servers we use to have, all I get is your voice training Tom.. Is there a way to do this still?
[23:31:02] Gudrun Smith, Business Development: silver have no access
[23:31:46]wiland697: Got it we use to, Sad to hear that I think I will revaluate this. Thanks.
[23:32:39] Gudrun Smith, Business Development: Veretekk has changed with a lot of powerful tools, when you really know what marketing is then you are willing to pay for this great service
[23:33:04] wiland697: I do, have approx 15K on a team now. Thanks.
[23:33:56] Terry Allison: You definitely need to reevaluate, and look at the bigger picture. The Veretekk system is more than a blasting system, and really has never been a blasting system.
[23:48:59] wiland697: I hear what you are saying, I only wanted to use it for some other seo, I use Press Release now, SEO, SEA, SEM. Video marketing, social media etc. Thanks
[23:55:50]Terry Allison: Like I said. Look at the bigger picture. We do all that right here in one place.
[ 00:00:08 | Edited 00:16:46] wiland697: Again, thank you for your assistance today.
[00:17:27] *** wiland697 has left ***

There are a number of points that can be learnt from this short chat.

Firstly Wiland697 is a typical MLM junkie seeking to blast out ads for his 5dollarfree program and he does not know what he is doing, if he did he would use his real name. Branding yourself is the first step on the road to success.

Secondly if he has a team of 15K it is doubtful if he has any income, it is a business built on sand, otherwise he would be a gold subscriber.

Thirdly blasting out ads has nothing to do with SEO

Finally look at the time nearing midnight and there is live professional support offering him advice and answering his questions. you are never alone with Veretekk.

Marketing Your Business - the value of Veretekk

Marketing Your Business
Beware of WordPress It can damage your business

Now most people are aware that WordPress.com does not want you to run a business on its site so they offer an alternative WordPress.org where you can go and download the software to host a blog on your own domain and subdomain and this is extremely popular WordPress 3.3 has been downloaded approach 6.5 million times at a rate of over 1 times a second.

So what is the problem, the main problem is security, there are over 14 Million entries on Google about how to hack a wordpress blog and for this reason WordPress is continually proving updates which means you have to spend time updating your systems.

The second problem is the Add-ins, every time you install an add-in or for that matter a blog you are providing a free backlink to the programmer or WordPress, in other words you are advertising their business. Advertising is fine so long as you get paid for it. You can resolve these problems by editing the PHP files and removing or replacing all the links but this is quite time consuming and will be overwritten when the block or add in is next updated.

There seems to be add ins to do anything, but the more you have the greater exposure to hacking and the slower your system will run.

Wordpress is popular because it is easy to get a website up and running, but if you are serious about your business you need to find a better solution and one that will not only be secure but offer improved Alexa ranking. I have made some changes using assets and advice from http://igetgoingtoday.com and am pleased with the results so will be moving away from WordPress to a new blogging system.
