What Do Chutes And Ladders Teach Us About Running a Home Internet Business Opportunity?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The simple act of playing a board game as a child could teach us tremendous concepts about running your home internet business opportunity.  One of my favorite game as a child was Chutes and Ladders where your goal was to reach the top of the board.  The person who got to the top first was the winner.  There were certain pitfalls or rewards that you could receive or be penalized.  You could either land on a square that took you closer to your goal as you traveled up the board.  The alternative was landing on a square that made you slide down the chutes or further away from your goal.  You either moved towards your goal very rapidly or very slowly.  The speed that we get closer to our goals in our home internet business opportunity is determined by a number of different factors.  The amount of targeted traffic that you generate to your website or blog is critical to your growth.

Google is always watching your website or blog and the activity of your blog or website to rank it appropriately.  SEO marketing is a method that is more towards slowly ranking your website while PPC marketing is for getting a more rapidly ranked website or blog.  The method that you use is dependent on your preference.  Chutes and Ladders can bring you very close to giving up and starting all over when you slide down a chute.  The actual throwing of the die determines whether you go up or down. Google can knock you back with a slap and the way you respond determine whether your home internet business opportunity will succeed or not.  Pitfalls versus rewards are evenly distributed on the Chutes and Ladders game board, but in real life you might encounter more pitfalls.  Rewards might come more few and far between so being persistence is very important in being successful in your home internet business opportunity.

The risk of not continuing for some people outweighs the possible rewards of succeeding in their home internet business opportunity.  Real life dictates that sometimes the risk is overwhelming while the reward is few and far between.  Chutes and Ladders does teach us about goal setting and achieving our objectives no matter the pitfalls.  The other alternative is reaching the top where you neither went up the ladder nor slide down the chute.  Does this make your journey less valid?

Web Marketing Strategy #8: Pay Per Click Marketing For Your Home Internet Business Opportunity

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Pay Per Click (PPC) is the most popular lead generation method used by most internet marketer. The goal of PPC marketing is to capture your prospect contact information initially.  Once a prospect opts in to your marketing list then you may start to build a relationship through personal contact or auto responder. The way you set up your PPC campaign is the single most determining factor in whether your results are futile or not.

PPC may also be the most expensive marketing strategy if done incorrectly. Google can go through a $5,000 credit card in about one hour whether it is a good or bad campaign.  Google is not concern with whether your campaign works as long as the information seeker clicks on your ads.  The amazing part is that your $5,000 might not net you any leads at all.  The effectiveness of your PPC campaign to produce targeted leads is dependent on a number of factors.

Google’s campaigns tend to be more expensive while campaigns on Yahoo and MSN tend to be more inexpensive.  The most critical initial step is determining your target market. Your target market will determine all of your web marketing strategies whether you are using PPC, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or any other marketing tactics. Research the keywords that you will bid on for your campaign.

You must think carefully about your marketing budget and how much you are willing to pay for a click.  The minimum is always the easier to figure because everyone would love to pay the least amount as possible for a click.  Your maximum that you would be willing to pay is critical especially the more competitive the keyword.  The ultimate goal is to be on page one of Google, Yahoo or MSN.    Impressions are how many times your ad is seen which is determined by a number of factors such as bidding the right amount, writing a good ad that is relevant to your keywords and page.

The foundation of your marketing is built on your target market and knowing what they are looking for. The better you are at getting into the mind set of your target market the greater chance that your campaign will succeed.  PPC as a web marketing strategy will help you generate some targeted leads to your website.  It is an art to getting the right people to click your ad, one of the best resources to learn advance PPC is Perry Marshall’s Definitive Guide to
