Social Media Traffic, It Is a Mistake if You don't Take Advantage of It!

Social media websites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and many others are great source of internet traffic. Take Facebook as an example, it is the second website in the world that has the most visitors, next to Google. It means that it has a lot of traffic. From business point of view, it could be a massive source of traffic for your website too.

So why bother about them? It is because in terms of logical reasoning, you should go to where most of the traffic is. You simply just have to follow where the crowd is going!

Here are some reasons on why you should take advantage of the Social Media to attract traffic to your website:

1. Massive flow of traffic

In June 2012 alone, Facebook had 158,560,778 visitors! Just imagine how much traffic you can have if you can attract 0.01% of it. It equates to 15,856 visitors per month, or 528 visitors daily. It ranks second with Google in the lead. And who does not like it? We obviously like more traffic, lots and lots of internet traffic. For Twitter it has 42,653,274 visitors for the month of June this year. You can picture out how massive the traffic they have that we can possibly take advantage of.

2. Creating your account is free

Creating an account in any Social Media websites is free and it is easy to do as well. We like something for free especially if they add value to our business. It would be unwise if you will not create your free Facebook and Twitter account. You can also create an account for your business which I recommend you should do. Many business organizations these days are making use of Social Media's popularity to promote their value proposition to their existing customers and prospects. You should do the same.

3. It is not difficult to use

It is really simple to use in my opinion. With today's technology, getting connected to the Internet is a thing of daily routine. Even some children these days already have an account. So there is no reason for any Internet Marketer not to have one. It is free and simple to use. The simpler it is, the better it will be. What else we can ask for?

4. You can advertise for free

Free advertisement in Facebook is possible through your existing friends in your account. The same is true with Twitter. Your ads will become viral once your friends will do the work for you through sharing it to their friends. The traffic cycle will continue once the sharing will goes on and on.|

5. You can target your customers

This is not easily possible for the free ads. However, paid ads at Facebook will do the job. You should do this if your financial resource allows you to do it. This is fastest way at Facebook to reach out to your target customers.

Email Marketing - How to Use It Effectively to Maximize Its Potential Benefits?

There is a situation when most of the strategies you will use in your online business will work better when applied. We often call this in process optimization as best condition.
 

In Email Marketing, it simply means the correct conditions on when and how to apply those strategies to get the expected results.
 

It is a lot easier to say than actually doing it. In most cases, it is not really that simple thing to do.
 

Let's find out together some of the logical conditions on when to use Email Marketing:
 

1. Product addresses customer's problem
 

For an effective Email Marketing, you need to have products and services that offer a solution to the customer's problem! It is a simple logic that sometimes being overlook by online marketers. No matter how great your products are, they will not sell unless they address the needs of the customers.

2. Correct niche subscriber's list

This is important. You can not deliver the correct products to the wrong customers and vice versa! This will lead them to think of you being an annoyance instead of a problem solver. When this happens, many of your customers will just simply walk away from you. Obviously, you do not want this situation to occur.

3. Correct product link

Before you go live for your online product link, always test to check if the link is working as it should. This happens to me in many occasion where the link given is not working correctly. It is a waste of my time going after the product owner to correct the problem. Not to mention the disappointments that you feel along the way.

4. Reasonable broadcast frequency

It is normal for your subscribers not to buy on the first email you sent to them. Some of them are still contemplating on whether to buy or not. Therefore, it is necessary to send some follow-up emails. For me one email a day is more than enough. Some recipients do not mind receiving two follow-up emails a day. But for me it is already too much especially if you do not like the products that are up for sale. You need to do a test on what is the best frequency that works well for your subscriber's list.

5. Support appreciation

It is a good practice to show an appreciation on the support given by your customers. You can give some free downloadable items even though they have not buy anything from you yet. This is what I call relationship building with your subscriber's list. Once the emotional trust is there, it will be a lot easier to sell for more.

Article Marketing, what Considerations You have to take note Before starting out?

Does anyone of you had the chance to watch the movie, Ratatouille? If yes, you should be familiar with the phrase somewhere in the movie that says “anyone can cook“.

When applied to article marketing, allow me to borrow that phrase from the movie and tweak it a little bit. It will sound like “anyone can write“!  It sounds a little pre-sumptuous to me but it might be true. Afterall, we go to school early in our life.

But is Article Marketing really works for everyone when applied to online business? The answer depends on the individual online marketers‘ belief and effort spent on the subject.

Let us take a look at some of the challenges that an online marketer will be facing when employing Article Marketing:

1. Knowledge on the Niche

To write some articles for your online business niche, you need to know it well and be an expert on it. This is the value that you can give to the readers of your articles. The same principle applies if you have multiple niches. You’ve got to educate yourself in your niches.

2. The proficiency in writing

Does everyone doing online business can write? Yes, absolutley! But are they all proficient in writing? The answer is NO. Not everyone can write proficiently. So this is a big challenge in itself if you have to do it yourself and do not even think you can do it. Can we pay somebody to write some articles for you? Yes and it is a good option, provided you do not mind spending money on it.

3. The time to write the first article

This is the biggest hurdle. Once you will pass this and have written your first article, the rest could be easier. But with all the hectic schedules we have and all the activities line up daily, who has the time to write an article? Of course, the situation is different when you are a full time online marketer. I am quite sure you have plenty of time to write. But it will a tough time for those who are still working and at the same time doing online business.

4. The time to write more articles

If writing the first article is already a challenge, how much more writing a lot of articles. How many more articles to write? The answer is as many as possible. This is to gain more exposure online and get your presence noticed. Bu then again, do you have the time to do it? Are you good enough to do it? Do you have enough knowledge in your Niche? These are valid questions that you need to consider when doing Article Marketing.

5. Keeping the momemtum going

Unless you really like writing, keeping the momentum going will be a big challenge for you. Sooner or later you will realize that more and more articles are needed to achieve the level of online traffic that you projected by doing Article Marketing. Humans by nature are good starters. But the ones who reached the finish line are those that managed to keep going at all cost. You need commitment to finish what you have started.
Just a side note on that movie Ratatouille, the next words mentioned after the phrase “anyone can cook“ was “yes but it doesn‘t mean you should“! Therefore, you have to decide yourself if Article Marketing is good for you or not.


Article marketing has many advantages that you can imagine, especially for beginners. In my case, it opens up another hobby and a chance to help someone in online business with interest in Article Marketing.

Online Stores - Important Considerations before Doing Your First and Succeeding Purchases

These days, getting connected to people around the world has never been easy. The same with Online Shopping! Thanks to the evolution of the Internet.

As most companies are selling their products online, shopping can be done anywhere and anytime as long as you have a computer and Internet connection.

But where the online money is, so does the opportunity for someone trying to steal them from you. This means that you have to manage the risks involve when doing an online shopping.

Here are important considerations that you have to take note when doing online purchases:

1. Portal integrity

The obvious distinction of an online shopping as compared to the traditional shopping method is that, you don’t have to talk to somebody. You are only talking to the computer you use. You don’t even see the person from whom you are buying from. If seeing is believing, then online shopping does not belong to this category. Therefore, it is important to know the portal integrity from which you are buying from. How do you know if you  can trust this portal? One way is to visit a reputable website that ranks online business website like   “Alexa.com”. From there you can key-in the website address and you can get the important business  information you need from the portal.

2. Ask for second opinion

It is important to ask somebody around and let them know that you want to buy something from certain website. Get their feedback. You might save your money from going down the drain especially if it is a significant amount. Your friend and colleagues may even have a better portal for you to buy your item. This is a free consultation service, so make sure you avail of them!

3. Beware of identity theft

Computer is needed to do your online purchases. So which computer you should use? The obvious answer is your own! What if you do not have one? Then the option is to use the computer of somebody you know. For me it is good to tell them that you are purchasing something online. I highly recommend to you not to use a public computer for your purchase. The main reason is, you do not want your personal information to land in the wrong hands.

4. Housekeeping is needed

It is very important to clear the computer cache or the browsing history to erase your information from the computer after using. Always make it a habit to un-click options that will capture your log-in information, password and many more. You do not want your personal information to be known even to your friends and relatives. That will be an intrusion of privacy. But above all, you do not want somebody invading to your financial reserves.
 

5. Keep a transaction reference

For all online transactions you do, always keep a reference! It is a must in my opinion. Make this a habit to add more safety to your online purchases. A reference can be in printed form or a softcopy form. You will never know how useful they are until you need them. A reference will serve as proof of what you did and will make your case stronger when it matter most.

Proven Ways of attracting Traffic to your Website

Traffic is the life-blood of your Online Business. Without Traffic, there will be no visitors to your website. If there will be no visitors to your website, you do not have a lead or prospect that you can convert to a Customer later on.

Therefore, website traffic is a very important part of your Online Business.  So, if this is a very important component of your Online Business, where can I get these sources of traffic?

The answer is…anywhere in the internet! But there are common sources of traffic that if you can tap them, you can have some traffic to your website.

Here are five proven ways of attracting Traffic to your website:

1. Follow the crowd
Obviously, you want a maximum online exposure of your website to your target audience. This means that your website must be visible to this crowd to gain maximum exposure. This could be an Article Marketing websites, Search Engine websites, Social Media websites, Forum websites, or a Blog websites. Just follow the crowd!
 
2. Select the Traffic Source for your Niche
Not all sources of traffic is good for you! What you should be looking for are the sources that are related to your niche. Why? Simply because these traffic have a high probability of being interested in your products and services. Therefore, the likelihood of them buying from you will be higher too.

3. Target your Customers
How this can be done? It is really not that difficult to do. This can be accomplished by having a third party software, if you have one. If not, there is a powerful tool and it is free to use…Google Adwords. I used it a lot of times and you should try it too. You can narrow down the search to your target customer based on your niche.

4. Make an irresistible offer
Give something for free to your visitors when they visit your website and they will like it most of the time. This is what you need as part of List Building and ultimately traffic to your website. Give your visitors plenty of reasons to come back to your website and do a favour to you by bringing in additional traffic. How nice is it?

5. Be fond of Statistics
Know your traffic statistics. Why you should care about this? Simply because you want to know where most of your traffic comes from, and that is where most of your money will come too! This information can be available from your hosting site. If your hosting site does not provide this information, you may use Google Analytics. I like it, it’s pretty cool online traffic tracking software and it’s free!

I encourage you to learn more and advance your knowledge about how to attract and generate traffic to your website.

Email Marketing - what are the Basics of doing it?

There are many ways of reaching out to your online customers and looking for new ones. One method that is commonly used by Internet Marketers is through Email. Thus, the phrase "Email Marketing" came about.

You might ask can I just use this method right away? The answer depends on where you are at this point in terms of your online business.

Obviously, there are considerations on the resources that you need to take note, and decide if you want to use it or not.

Here are some of them:

1. You need a List of subscribers

Obviously, you need to have someone where you can send the emails to. Without it, doing this campaign is useless and will only be a dream to you. If you do not have one, create one. The methods on how to build your subscribers list sadly is not covered in this posting.

2. You need an automation software

You need to get away from sending messages and responses manually. Otherwise you need a lot of time to do it. There are few of this type of software available in the market for you today. You can choose any of them for as long as it meets your requirements. I am using "Aweber".

3. Create a Niche campaign

You need to segregate your list according to Niche market. This way, it will be a lot easier for you to extract the list for a particular campaign. Organizing your list this way will save you a lot of time to make sure that your message reaches to the correct audience all the time. Your subscribers will get disappointed upon getting email campaigns that obviously are not meant for them.

4. Send them out

This is the critical part of the process. Always make the extra effort to verify that you are sending the message to the correct niche subscriber's list. Failure to do so will tarnish your reputation to them if they are receiving the incorrect email campaign. As a result, some of them will un-subscribe from your list. Certainly, you do not want this to happen.

5. Set back, relax and enjoy

This is the fun part which I like the most. And who does not? Obviously, you want to see your effort paying off in the form of Sales or New Subscribers. An Email Marketing when properly done and with the right product, will certainly yield good results. So sit back, relax and enjoy the waiting.

How to generate Traffic from Facebook?

Does anybody of you have any idea how popular Facebook website is? According to one of the reputable site analysis portal, in the month of June 2012, Facebook has a total number of visitors at 158,560,778! This is how popular the site is.
The other important information to know about Facebook is that, it is rank second globally as well behind Google. This is the potential of Facebook when it comes to online traffic. You can imagine the amount of traffic you can have if you can just swipe 0.01% of it.

Yes, the promise land is there. But just how you can attract some of its traffic to your website?

Let us find out what are the challenges that you will be facing:

1. Where & How to start?

If you do not have an account, create one. You can start with a Personal account and then later create a Fan Page for your business website. The good thing about Fan Page is that you share information with people who have the same interest as you are. Your personal account will do, but some of your friends might be annoyed by the products and information you are sharing.

2. How to Build Followers?

You need to think a little deeper here to figure out a way to build an army of followers. Definitely not all of your friends in your personal account will follow you since they have different interests. You can start with your friends to filter those who like the information you are sharing to them. Next is to ask your followers to share the link of your Fan Page to their friends too.

3. How to Advertise for Free?

This is obvious isn't it? Through your existing pool of friends in your Personal account, you are already doing free advertising. The effect is viral when most of them will share your post. A little consideration has to take place in here, since you will be an annoyance to some of them. But take whatever you can and build your supporters for free.

4. How to do  paid advertisement if needed?

If you have the financial resource to do this, go ahead with it. The good thing about this is that, you make yourself visible to the targeted audience worldwide. This is the beauty of paid advertisement in this case. You don't have to do a lot of work. You let the money do the work for you.

5. How to know if the traffic is coming in?

Tracking of traffic is in the number of "Likes" you have among your followers on your post. If you have a link for them to visit, the volume of traffic tracking is through your web hosting site. If not, you can use Google Analytics to do this by imbedding the tracking codes into your website's source codes.
