7 Steps to Internet Marketing Success

 Many people are wondering if there is a real way to market their business on the internet for free. In our current day and age, it is highly possible to market your business or product on the internet and to get excellent amounts of traffic using free methods.

 As long as you know what is involved and the specific steps to take in marketing your business, you will begin to see your traffic and sales increase quite a bit in a short amount of time.  It is a fact that people want to be successful in their endeavors. I know that sounds pretty dead stupid, but clarification and details is what makes a successful plan and company go around, believe me.

I am a huge believer in 2 sayings. I am sure if you have read anything on the internet you have had your share of famous quotes, by famous figures throughout history. But here it goes, these 2 are both very powerful and not used enough in my opinion. So here it goes;

“ Repitition Is The Key To Retention!”

“ Measure Twice, Cut Once!”

  If they put time and effort into creating a website or a business, they want it to be successful.

 Promoting your website or product is a great way to help achieve this success. So, the question then becomes how do you market your site properly?  I will tell you this, approximately 98% do not properly build, use or promote their site in the proper way. This causes a jaded opinion to many business owner’s that it just doesn’t work. Well, if it was done correctly, they would be astounded at the power of having a fully interactive, multi-platform responsive website!

It is said recently that somewhere around 90% of all businesses do NOT have a “passable”, mobile website! You know how crazy that is? That is just “passable”, that isn’t even a good mobile website that actually interacts with the user, is pleasing to look at, and gets their point across within the 20 or so seconds it takes to hold someone’s attention until they move on to the next site, that is probably selling the same exact thing, but doing it much more effectively than you and guess what??? BOOM, they get the business!!!

 Well considering that the average person now spends about 2 ½ to 3 hours a day on their mobile phone, well you get my point, don’t you? Anyway, you can always contact me, and I will fix your site, so it looks great on your phone, Ipad, laptop, etc. I can be reached at 781.626.0511, or jleary60@hotmail.com. So, let’s move on.

There are seven steps, that should be followed in order to get the most out of free marketing and advertising . This will ensure the most effective marketing campaign, and often ensures a higher success rate. That’s what this is all about!

 

#1 – BE READY TO BE SEEN! The first thing is to sign your site up. Look for the newest, most famous directories online and list your website with them. This is the easiest and by far most efficient way to get free website promotion. One huge note here: MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IS 100% CORRECT!!!

 Start with this idea and you, are guaranteed to have more prosperity later on. However, it is imperative to make sure that your website is prepared before you list it. This means, fully operational, and full of the most relevant information! This will make it much more likely that you will be accepted into the directory that you are submitting to. Once you are in, expect a healthy boost in your traffic numbers!!

#2 -  PICK OUT YOUR FORUMS The reason that forums exist is because they offer free promotion to everyone. Simply sign up, log in, participate and post actively, and let other people know about your website in every post that you submit. This is a sure way to attract visitors to your site. Also, self promotion is great, heck, I do it all the time, but also try to give back and actually add value to the forum. Give back some value, you will get instant karma points and even more traffic, believe me!

#3 –  ISSUE YOUR PRESS RELEASES! The next step is to create press releases that will be helpful to you. Free your writing spirit and write a press release that focuses on promoting your website. This is a totally free promotion tool that can be done as often as you would like. Write a short paragraph and then send it to friends, family, online ezines, and other sources of media. By doing this, you are almost guaranteeing yourself massive amounts of traffic. Get creative and make sure it is energetic! People love press releases, if you use this tool, you will be extremely happy with the amount of new traffic you have visiting your site. 

  

#4 –  BE FRIENDLY Remind yourself that you always need to be friendly on the internet. By utilizing free promotion methods, you need to be sociable and friendly. This is because the friendlier you are with people, the more they can help get your site linked in many places. Make contact with people and welcome link exchanges and requests that you receive.  Make sure to produce relevant, high quality articles. Believe it or not, they are there for the same reason! Use it!

#5 –  BE RELEVANT Make sure that what you are writing and submitting to people has to do with what you are selling or offering. It does not make sense to have a travel website that has articles written about home improvement. Focus on your particular area of expertise. Articles are your advertisements and are a great source of free promotion.   Let the whole world know about your site. When you are having conversations, add your URL into them. People will in turn tell others about your site. This is an effective way to bring in traffic and potential sales.

#6 –   CREATE EYE CATCHING BANNERS! Create banner advertisements that get attention. Create a banner for your site. Then, offer to make banners exactly like it for other webmasters. Do this in exchange for links or credit on their sites. If you get in with the popular sites, you are guaranteed greater exposure. You wopuld be shocked at some of the organic traffic some of these company’s and people get. This really does work. Hey if you aren’t that banner savvy, go over to Fiverr and get a killer banner made for $5! Believe me, it will pay for itself in the first hour!!a

#7 –  TAKE A WEBSITE PROMOTION COURSE!  There are many courses available online that are completely free and can teach you a lot. Most of these programs ask you to join their newsletters. If you create a site, there is no fee for advertising it. You only have to do some research about this type of promotion. Hey, so what that’s what you are there for!

 To wrap this up, follow these steps, you will maximize your internet marketing and advertisement with no cost to you. All it takes is some time and a small amount of effort. Most of these steps are simple to follow. They might seem time consuming at first but, the brain is like any other muscle in your body, the more you use it, the stronger it gets and the easier it is to pump out highly relevant posts and articles about what you do.

The time and relative effort you put forth now, will ensure that you capture a larger audience. Then in turn you have the FREE opportunity to turn those reader’s into paying customers. What is better than that?

Maybe a quart of Ben & Jerry’s “Americone Dream” ice cream on a hot, humid July day, but I’m not even sure about that! I mean Stephen Colbert is humorous and entertaining, and the ice cream named after him is flat out delicious, but nothing is better than a tidal wave of sales because you put in the time and effort into promoting your business correctly through the internet!

Go get them! They are out there, waiting for you to show them what you have! Now it’s your turn to make that sale!

 

Now, if all else fails, or you don’t have the time, that’s where hiring a professional to get you to where you want to go comes in! This is money well spent in my mind. Often times, there just aren’t that many hours in the day for this type of effort, but it is necessary and it does ultimately pay off. I can’t tell you how many business owner’s have cut me off within the first 5 minutes, because they think they have heard it all before, and it is a bunch of bull.

Well, yeah some of it is a bunch of crap. But if it is done correctly, it should and will pay for itself many times over. Another thing if the work isn’t guaranteed that is a red flag.

I know for a fact, because I was on the other side of that desk for 25 plus years, how business owner’s and decision maker’s operate. I also know there are a very large percentage of upper management that are scared silly into making a mistake or creating more work for themselves!

That’s why, in my line of work, you have to get to the “decision maker”, which is usually the owner. Hopefully a few are reading this article and realizing what I am writing makes perfect sense. If you happen to be that decision maker and need assistance, I am here to make your business “rock” on the internet and beyond!
