Can't figure out how to get visitors to your website?

Thu, 21 May 2009 00:00:00 -0400

I was presented with a great challenge this weekend by surprise and I took it (mainly because I really had no choice!) Daniel and I got another project for a local business. In case you haven't heard, that's probably our biggest income increase and growth lately. Providing perpetual lead generation systems to local businesses. We only know of one other company that is doing it besides ours and they are in Florida. THEY CHARGE 7X WHAT WE CHARGE!! Anyway, this particular project is for pay-per-click strategies where we offer a service for regular companies to pay about 15% of the average cost per click. We get paid on performance level only, so there's no risk to the company-either they get results or they don't pay. Not bad, eh? So Daniel is actually the expert when it comes to pay per click and setting up the capture/squeeze pages, but I don't want any money coming into our bank accounts unless I have put value into the equation. I'm not a fan of getting paid for nothing (success secret!! There is no success without effort and sacrifice). So I asked him what I could do to help out with it. **End Summary** Topics: internet marketing]]> online business]]> home business]]> network Marketing]]> home business in Callifornia]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> IF you like this information, you should subscribe to Dan Dimit's blog: LOTSA posts with great info. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog When you're ready for serious training, go to the main site and get the best free training out there: http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

2 Great Ideas for Free, Targeted, Traffic for Your Website

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Using your daily life situations and turning them into some kind of lesson pertaining to whatever you're expert in is an excellent way to get your potential clients interested in you. When people continue to see, listen to, or read your stories you then become one of their favorite sources of "news". This is how you can develop a following. You see this on youtube's happyslip, lonelygirl15, and whatthebuck...there's hundreds of them!! Anyone can model how they do it!! Here's a great example of a great story made from a life lesson: the other day I was speaking to my sister-in-law. She asked me what I do for a living now. I told her I help people with their home businesses--Internet marketing as well as network marketing, etc. Here's what she said, "You mean those pyramid thingies?!?!" So I asked, "What's a pyramid?" She says, "Well, if you don't know what it is, then you must not be in one, but it's where the guy at the top makes all the money." To which I shot back, "Oh, you mean corporate America. **End Summary** Topics: free website traffic]]> internet marketing]]> network marketing]]> video marketing]]> search engine optimization]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Did you like this information?

You can have the coolest story in the world and still not get more business if no one sees your story. This article is about where you can get exposure. There is no business online or offline that will not benefit from My Story Marketing. There are lots articles and courses where you will learn step by step how to put your story together for your business online. I'm going to come right out and say that online, your story is going to get you the most leads for your business in what they call web 2.0 ...What the HECK is web 2.0?? This is a slang term for INTERNET, 2nd Edition...The internet is MUCH more interactive these days. The Internet, before about 2004, was mostly comprised of websites that were just static information on a page (pretty boring, if you ask me...) and content that was created by Website Owners, Companies, etc. Web 2.0 (or Internet, version 2) was coined because, blogs, social networks, video sharing sites all have content, but they are now created and updated by the actual USERS of these sites. **End Summary** Topics: mystorymarketing]]> internet marketing]]> video marketing]]> SEO]]> search engine optimization]]> article marketing]]> blog marketing]]> make money online]]> affiliate markei]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Would you like to get a hold of some intensive internet marketing training for FREE? http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com If you like this info, Dan Dimit's blog has 2 fresh posts every day. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog

What is a Marketing Funnel and How Can I Use it In My Business?

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 00:00:00 -0500

In order to explain this system, let's use a familiar illustration that most people would not expect: A lady that's famous for her tips and techniques for cooking, gardening and decorating. I think you can guess who this is.Exposure is the first step in any business marketing. First, she has a TV show (valuable content that is FREE). She probably mentions her website at least 3 times during the show and makes a compelling offer in order to get you there. This compelling offer usually doesn't cost her any money—how about a free recipe book or a free report on the newest gardening tools, or a discount on a decorative sparkly paint for your bathroom walls? Most of the time it's going to be MORE free information that her target market will like. This is all offered to you in order to get you to the website. Once you're there, the first thing they want is to get you to put your name and email address into the info capture form on her website. This is the start of what they call the "marketing funnel". Catching the potential client's interest is the first part. **End Summary** Topics: internet marketing]]> social media marketing]]> My Story Marketing]]> Network Marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you want serious training for FREE, go to the main website and get 2 free ebooks, a minicourse, as well as access to weekly Q&A calls. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com Now that you know how famous people do it, there's no excuse for you not to grow your business this way.

What Does Dating Have to Do with Running My Internet Business?

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

I'll give you quickly the biggest principle in dating and marketing to get people to buy your stuff online or off: Building Relationships. To illustrate how relationship building on the Internet really works, here's a quick story about an average guy... we'll call him Rick. "Things had never come easily for Rick, but he worked hard and landed a decent job after graduating from college. Now that he was employed, he figured it was a good time to get married, settle down and start a family. So he was ready to go searching for 'Miss Right'. One Friday night, Rick gets a call from his buddy who tells him about a great new bar that was opening up down the street from where he lived. They both meet up and after nursing an iced cold one for a few minutes, he looks past the crowd... and there she was... Samantha, the girl of his dreams. Rick fixes his hair, straightens his collar and walks right over to her...Their eyes meet, sparks fly...He reaches out to shake her hand and says: "Hi. Will you marry me?" "Whoa!! Stop right there creep! **End Summary** Topics: internet marketing]]> social media marketing]]> My Story Marketing]]> Network Marketing]]> free traffic]]> free website traffic]]> Dan Dimit]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you like this information, there's lots more on this blog: 2 daily fresh posts. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog There is great training available: 2 free eBooks, minicourse, as well as weekly conference calls for Q&A http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

What the Heck is a Replicated Website, Anyway?

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

If you're just starting out with internet marketing or network marketing, you will have almost no other choice than to use a replicated website. Most affiliate programs, which offer a web page or web site as part of the joining package, give what is referred to as a "self replicated" site or page. This is a page or site that is identical to every other member also in the same affiliate program with one very small exception: your affiliate number or email address. If you are a member of an affiliate or resellers program, and you were given a web site or web page to promote the program, you should pay very close attention to this article. It will open your eyes to why it is almost impossible to get the search engines to give you a high ranking with regular SEO (Search Engine Optimization). You may have been told that you can get traffic to these sites. It is possible, but not usually in the way you're taught. The reason affiliate groups give these types of pages out, is because it is very easy to generate them using a script from their web site. **End Summary** Topics: replicated website]]> internet marketing]]> social media marketing]]> video marketing]]> web2.0 marketing]]> social marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you'd like more intense training, sign up for 2 free eBooks, minicourse and weekly Q&A calls. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com If you'd like more detailed information on getting traffic to your website, please go to The Free Traffic Blog, which has 2 daily posts" http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog

How will the Next Four Years with Barack Obama Affect Internet Marketers?

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

There are positive and negative aspects of Barack Obama's new economic plan. Some parts the plan should help us out as internet marketers. There are other parts that might hurt us. First, let's start with the best news...we internet marketers are a resourceful bunch and we'll probably make sure that everything goes well for our future no matter what. That reminds me...before I go on, I will stick my opinion where it may or may not belong. Both candidates said "The American people are innocent victims of this financial disaster"...um, are you kidding me? I can't think of a more dangerous thing to say. No one had guns to their heads when they signed those home loans! When American citizens completely stop taking responsibility for their own actions, as the candidates encouraged, then America loses its advantage as the superpower in the world. I know they were trying to win votes, but that's just irresponsible. My audience—internet marketers and entrepreneurs—will take care of themselves. They don't WANT the government to take care of them. That's how it should be and it's that very attitude that makes them successful and independent to begin with. **End Summary** Topics: internet marketing]]> social media marketing]]> Barack Obama]]> Obama's economic policy]]> Network Marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Instead of political rants and opinions, you'll find great tips on getting free traffic to your websites here: http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog To sign up for 2 free eBooks, a minicourse and weekly Q&A conference calls go to: http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

How Can My Business Use One of These Capture Page Thingies?

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

What do think the chances are that people that click off your site will return at all...let alone make a purchase? Not good at all. I'm going to show you how to raise your chances significantly. This is true of all websites out there. The only semi-sure way to get people to come back to your site is to have their email address so that you can keep the lines of communications going and invite (coerce?) them to come back and visit, maybe even buy something. "How can I get their email address", you ask? Easy, make them an offer they can't refuse—literally! This is what industry insiders call a compelling offer. Yes, you could just ASK for the email. If you provide an excellent service, and you have prospects that are also adoring fans, they may give you the email address with nothing in exchange expected. Good luck with that. We non-guru powers have to give them something of value in exchange, of course. People like keeping their info private and they are uncomfortable with giving that personal info to others...especially if they don't yet know, like, nor trust you. **End Summary** Topics: internet marketing]]> social media marketing]]> My Story Marketing]]> Network Marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you'd like your own capture page system at a GREAT price: http://www.iwantwebpages.com If you'd like more information like this, Dan Dimit's blog has 2 fresh daily posts. http://www.thefreetraficformula.com/blog If you'd like serious training for free: 2 eBooks, minicourse, and weekly Q&A conference calls. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

How can I use Social Media Marketing In My Business?

Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

One of my favorite ways to get free targeted traffic to my websites is through video marketing. It's not how many views you get, it's WHO is watching. This is how you rank well on the search engines and drive traffic to your website. When adding your "description" to the video, implement these in the following order... First, type in your capture page address (or whatever website you want them to go to)... http:// www . whateversite.com (Your Own Domain or affiliate link recommended.) The http:// and then the www. is very important particularly on Youtube because it turns the domain into a clickable link. Second, on the next line after your website address...your phone number (EEK! Yup, this is a business, and you may need to talk to someone that has a question..stop hiding behind your website!!) and name. Then write a few paragraphs describing your video...it's kinda like a mini-article. what is it about? What are you going to cover? What are you helping the viewer find out? What problem are you attempting to help them solve? Don't make it about YOU, make it about solutions to THEIR problems. **End Summary** Topics: video marketing]]> social marketing]]> social media marketing]]> internet marketing]]> free traffic to my website]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you like this information, my blog has 2 fresh posts daily. http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog If you want serious, step-by-step training on how to generate traffic to your site, go to http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com and you can get results in advance by signing up for the free mini course, along with 2 ebooks and weekly conference calls to get your questions answered.

This is how to get on the top of the search engines.

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

"How are you going to differentiate yourself from everyone else that has a copy of my website?" Have you asked yourself that question? Here's the answer--with a capture page. Here's how to get it to the top of the search engines. I should first apologize to those more advanced web page designers and internet marketers that have gotten into this article accidently from my slick headline. This article is about basic webpage optimization. I will hope for your forgiveness also for this second transgression: I'm showing newbies just how easy it is to build a webpage for practically any product, service, or other endeavor. This means you can't charge them thousands of dollars anymore unless they are just completely overwhelmed in the time schedules. In general, the major search engines function in the same way. They look for these things to identify the theme of a web page: URL: The URL is the web address of a web page. Including relevant keywords in the page URL can help your rankings, so work with your webmaster (if you still have one after reading this) to create static URLs with keywords included. **End Summary** Topics: SEO]]> search engine optimization]]> social marketing]]> web 2.0]]> direct sales]]> internet marketing]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> If you like this info, The Free Traffic Blog has at leat 2 daily posts: http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog Looking for serious training that won't cost you anything? http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

How to Target Your Market in your Internet Business.

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

When it comes to marketing, quality is better than quantity. Some people online seem to think they have to interest every single person who reads their ad or sales letter. Not true! You only need to interest a select few. These are the 3% that WILL buy. These are the people you are speaking to. These few will make you all the money you need. You want buyers -- not warm bodies! The people who get on your optin list and are just looking for free info take up your valuable time and resources. But they do not return anything to you. Avoid them! But you still have to GET to those select few. And the only way to do that is with dynamic, powerful and very skillfully done marketing materials. This could be electrifying copy writing, powerful videos, or a well done eBook that goes viral and ends up in the email boxes of the all of the 3 percenters. If there is nothing about your service or product or opportunity that excites readers, you are going to have a hard go of it. THis is why you should really only concentrate on those who WILL be excited. **End Summary** Topics: targeting your market]]> online business]]> internet marketing]]> marketing basics]]> social marketing]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> For more info like this, go to the Free Traffic Blog http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com/blog For free training in marketing online, go to: http://www.thefreetrafficformula.com

Does this 80/20 Rule apply to you?

Sat, 11 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400

This "law" is named for an Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, who noticed that in his country 80% of the wealth was owned by 20% of the population.The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the Vital Few and the Principle of Factor Sparsity) states that, for many events(not just economical or business), 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. The 80/20 principle has proven in business and economics that the majority of results come from a small minority of causes or effort. So, we really can't say that the exact percentages are 80 and 20. Some situations are 90/5 and others 70/30. This powerful rule has way more benefits than just in business. Learn to focus your attention on the "vital minority" to live the 80/20 lifestyle and accomplish more with less! Each of the famous, bestselling self-improvement programs promise a great reward for serious effort major religions do the same thing. The advice usually works for those who follow the directions carefully, but the trouble is that most don't get into the correct habits. The effort is too much. We fall by the wayside.
