Web Marketing Strategy Tip #4: Blogging to Generate Free Leads For Your Home Internet Business Opportunity

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Blogging is an excellent way to develop a win-win relationship with your subscribers.  A win-win relationship is one where all the parties involved are benefiting.  The strategy of this type of blog is not to sell a specific product or service, but to develop relationships with the subscribers.  The premise is that you provide valuable content to your readers.

Your blog must truly provide an outstanding resource for your target market.  You could do a blog on sports, trivial, jokes or anything that you feel would be of interest to other people.  The main reason to make a great blog is the independence of owning and being in charge of your marketing list. The leads coming into your auto responder are not yours so if the company terminate the relationship. You would be temporarily without that stream of income until you find another home internet business opportunity.

The home internet business opportunity company that you are working with may be very restrictive at times. Your rights to market the product or service may be taken away at any time. A self hosted blog with a subscription list is the best way to prevent your income from being interrupted.  The majority of home internet business opportunity set you up with a replicated site and generic auto responder system. These tools are great for branding the company and do nothing for You Inc.

You may set up You Inc. very easily especially since the expenses required to set up your blog is minimal.  You will need a domain name, hosting company and an auto responder.  These costs are minimal in comparison to the value derived from owning your blog.  Your blog is your real piece of real estate on the web.  Your list is your only asset that is portable and the more your list grows the more valuable your asset becomes.

Attraction Marketing is based on the premise that if people trust you they would be more prone to business with you.  Your blog is a passive way to convert subscribers to sales.  The actual content of the blog must not be sale driven. The premise of the blog is to provide valuable content and if your blog becomes more sales oriented, then people might opt out of your list.

The techniques above would allow your video to rank high in the Search Engines.  When you perform a Google (or other search engines) keywords search of anything on the internet.   There is a great possibility that at least one video will be above the fold for any keyword entered on the organic (free side) of the page.  Google likes videos so expanding your web marketing strategies to your video marketing will fully optimized your marketing research on your keywords.  The odds are that you did some keywords research before producing your video.  When your have a completed product, then it is time to follow the steps outlined above.

You want to write keyword rich articles preferably on ezinearticles.com because Google also loves them.  When Google loves a certain media it tends to get rank higher.   Ezinearticles will also have articles on that first page with the video.  Ezinearticles edits every article before it is published and since Google is always looking for relevant content the Google bots frequently visit ezinearticles.  Check out my article on Articlewriting .

You have a choice whether you want to do a blog post or the article first.  You may use the same article on your blog that you post on Ezinearticle.com.  If you decide to post your article in another directory then you would want to rewrite the original.  I find that a Dictionary with a Thesaurus is very helpful here.  Ping it on Pingomatic.com to let the search engines know that you have new content on your blog.

Google loves Squidoo.com, which is a free service that allows you to make an unlimited number of web pages on any subject you want.  The rules of using self serving links are very flexible, unlike that for Article writing.   Squidoo lenses appear on the organic side of first page of a keyword search.  Also Make a Hub on HubPages.com for the same reasons given for Squidoo lenses.

Social Bookmark everything your have on Digg, Delicious and other social book marking site.

Syndicating to all the social networks that you are associated would be the capping of a job well done.  You may set up the entire process automatically on Facebook, Twitter etc.  You may also use onlywire.com which will syndicate to all your Web 2.0 Medias automatically.

Keep a look out for my post that I will break down each direct marketing strategy in depth.

Forum Marketing: Great Way to Generate Free Leads and Traffic For Your Work at Home Business Opportunity Money

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Forum Marketing is one of the best methods to generate free traffic and targeted leads for your work at home business opportunity money. It is also a good way to create natural back links for you website or blog. The true benefit to posting in forums is developing and being perceived as a leader which leads people to want to know more about you. Forums are great places to gain and share knowledge and develop skill sets. Demonstrating leadership attracts people to you and the business that you are marketing. Some procedures must be followed when you participate in a forum.

Each forum has a different feel to it so spend some time checking out the post and the response to the posts. The first thing you need to do is set up your profile. The profile is a great place to give people the opportunity to get to know you.  Review the rules of the forum and also read any “sticky” posts will provide you with invaluable information. You are allowed a signature that will appear below every thread that you post in that forum.  Your signature is the only place that self serving links are allowed.  The body of the post may contain non-self serving links that adds value to the conversation. A back link is a link from another site that leads back to your own.

The appeal of setting up back links in the Forums tends to attract spammers. The back links that the search engine recognizes from Forums are normally rated well. The visitors in the forums reading the post are looking for the content in the post. The search engine are looking for original content on a regular basis, but if the forum is filled with nothing but spammers then the back links from that forum will be useless. The owners of the forum will police the forum for spammers as best as they can. If you are part of a forum that has a whole bunch of spammers, then it is better to find a different forum to actively participate in on a regular basis. The frequency of your post is determined entirely by you, but the bare minimum is two times per week

The best ways to actively contribute to a forum are listed below:

1. Ask a genuine question

2. Answer a question

3. Request a critique

4. Make a suggestion

5. Provide an opposing view with respect

6. Agree with a post

7. Provide a link to a relevant You Tube Video

8. Suggest a helpful resource or link

9. Provide a useful tip

10. Post summary of current news that is relevant.

You may interact in Forum but some rules must be followed as listed below:

1. I emphasize being genuine because your posts will reveal who you are truly.

* I have been part of discussions where the person asked for help but never responded to any of the advice given. If you going to ask for help at least have the decency to act like you care.

2. ‘I agree with you”

* This is not a blanket post that you should write every time. This statement makes the person who posted the leader not you.

3. Requesting a critique of a splash page, website etc. that you spent a total of 15 minutes working on it The forum give suggestions for free anything else you must pay.

4. There is a professional way to give a dissenting opinion so be tactful not rude

5. If the link you post in your thread is a self serving affiliate links at least get a domain name and forward it to your link.

Forum marketing is a viable way to generate free leads as well as generate natural back links. When Google searches for original and popular content back links is one that help determine how your website or blog gets rank. A forum overrun by spammers will not have original content.  The great thing about running a work at home business opportunity money is that if it does not help you then you do not have to participate in it.  If Google sees that a Forum’s content is inconsistent, then the spiders will visit that forum less and less. The back links from that Forum will become useless. The main point of forums is to gain and share knowledge,  if you are not receiving neither, then you should leave the forum.
