Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

So let´s bring this series to a close. Our nine steps to massive success in your business has by now put you on the right track.

This last step will tie everything up so to speak.

Our last step is to Bookmark your Links. That applies to your video links and your article links. This is a tried and true method used by many successful online marketers.

By using this tool you will create more links thus ultimately boosting your ranks in the search engines.

What is the advantage of using a book marking site? Well, it two fold.

1.) This tool allows you to save your bookmarks online. That way you can visit them from any computer.

2.) It allows you to move in the direction of automating your business. You see, you could manually create links, but, it is much faster and more effective in the end to use these social bookmarks.

Every time you submit an article, video, or blog post you should then bookmark them. By doing so it notifies these sites that you have new content. They in turn put it out on RSS feed to all there members and sites interested in your content.

So again, do some research online for bookmark sites. Once you have found a few you need to follow the instructions to create an account login and password. Enter the link and create a description based on the content you are submitting.

I suggest that you place the keywords appropriately in your discription and most importantly your call to action. Now all this may seem a little complicated but it isn´t. The sites literally lead you through the necessary steps. And in no time at all you will have completed one and you can move on to the next.

It is also important to consider outsourcing this step on your road to massive success in your business. As I already stated, it´s not hard but it can be time consuming.

It is also important to note that there are normal bookmarking sites and video bookmarking sites. Some do both. Be sure to submit to both types of bookmarking sites.

Now that you have all these powerful steps, you might want to consider other forms of media placement.

You should be open to all forms and see what works best for you and your business.

By trying as many forms of media placement as possible you will not only learn the best forms of marketing for your business, but you will also create momentum. Once the ball gets rolling there is no stopping it because you will know how to keep it rolling.

Other forms of media placement include, but not limited to, Classified ads, direct mailing, email marketing, pay per click, business cards, word of mouth, and many , many more.

Whatever you do to promote your business, track it to see what works and what does not. If it works repeat it on a bigger scale. If it doesn´t work get rid of it and put your efforts and investments toward things that are getting you results.

In today’s article I decided to put steps seven and eight together because they relate to one another so closely.

Steps seven and eight in creating massive success in your business, are create a blog and a Squidoo/Hub page.

Blogs and Social Media pages are so valuable to your success. I can´t stress that enough.

Through these media you are creating more fresh content that the search engines lust after. And in the case of blog, 250 to 350 words is more than enough. Many blogs rank high in the search engines without being anything more than basically a conversation. Information about what people are doing. You, of course, would put a spin on it and talk about what you are doing in your business.

The real beauty of creating these pages is that you can use all the other media you have already created and embed them directly into them. In the case of your blog you can even have links directed to your site without any conflict of interest.

Now, I do not recommend that you overwhelm your readers with advertisements for your business. Your readers are there for information. If your blog starts looking more like a sales page you will only drive people away. So provide more than a sales pitch. Provide solutions to their problems.

These are very popular sites because they work! If you are trying to drive traffic to your sites, then I urge you not to wait on these steps.

Do a search online and find out how to create a free blog. You will want get a hosting account and many hosting companies offer programs that will literally set up your blog with just a few clicks of your mouse.

Setup accounts with Squidoo and Hubpages. Follow their instructions and viola, you now have three more forms of media to get your information out there to the masses. All of which can be linked back to your site.

Not only that, but by adding your video onto these sites, your page rank and relevancy go up exponentially.

Back links are obviously an advantage in using these forms of media placement. As you create your post, lenses, and pages. Be sure to ping them accordingly. This is nothing more than letting the different search engines know that you have provided fresh new content.

There is one other thing I will touch on in relation to these types of media.

You will soon be establishing your presence online. You will be offering insight as to who you are and forming relationships with potential prospects.

I almost forgot. Do yourself a favor and put an optin box on your blog to gather information. You will want to get the name and email address at a bare minimum.

This way, you will always be able to contact your prospects when you have some new information or product you would like to pass on to your readers. If they are already fans of your post/lenses, you can be sure that they will eagerly open up your emails when you contact them.

Well that´s it. There is only one more step to massive success in your business.

Now that we have submitted our video to video submission sites, what do you do next in your quest for massive success in your business?

If you have been following my articles, then you probably already know the answer. If not then let me tell you and save you the suspense.

Rework and turn your Article/Video into and audio broadcast and submit it.

That´s it! This is exactly what the so called “gurus” do. They take one form of media and reprocess it into different forms of media. In other words just repackage it and sell it again.

There are literally millions of ipod users out there that are tuned into and waiting for exactly what you have to offer.

This is convenient for lots of people if for no other reason that it is so portable as opposed to video. (Even that is changing rapidly with the access of video on cell phones.)

But the best thing about this step is that there is so little work involved. If you already have your article and video then you can literally read and record the article or take the sound file from the video.

All that is left now is to submit it. Again this is not rocket science. Go online and search for tutorials on uploading podcast. As is my habit, I have provided a link for a video tutorial on my blog.

You can click on my link in the resource box and go directly to my blog. Look for the link for uploading a podcast.

Now of course you can always hire someone to record it for you and if you like they can even write a script to your satisfaction. If I were you, I would try to do it myself first. There is nothing like learning and experiencing it for yourself.

However, if you really are uncomfortable doing such things and you have a little money to invest, then by all means hire professional voice talent. There is the advantage of saving time. Believe me I know how it is. Maybe you have a job and family and your time is limited. Rather than release a sub-par recording, pay a little and make it the best it can be.

In the end, prospects have to get the sense that you are trust worthy and can help solve their problem. Whatever it is.

Audio is a wonderful and unique tool in your campaign to massive success. Don´t put it to the side because of lack of confidence or time.

I can remember as I was getting started in the business of internet marketing. I had no idea which direction to go in or what program I should become a part of. A lot of times the determining factor was hearing the voice of someone that made all the difference in the world. Perhaps you have experienced that as well.

So I hope that has helped alleviate some of your fears.   If you want to build success in your business feel free to contact me. You will find my email address on my blog as well. I will be glad to help you in any way I can.

What is step number 5 to getting massive success in your business?  You guessed it, Submit your video!

Now that you have your video complete, look online for video submission sites and submit your video.

For those of you who would like to save little time and not do so much research, click on the link in my resource box.  That will take you to my blog site where I have some links to video submission sites listed.

But, having said that, it is always good to try and do some of the research on your own.  You never know what amazing sites you might discover for yourself.

You will want to submit your video to as many different submission sites as possible.  Remember, this is a numbers game.  you want to get as many eyeballs as you can looking at your video.  Not only that but, you are trying to get as many links to your site as you can.  That is extremely important to the search engines.  They are always looking for fresh, good content to browse.

Now, I did not say it in my last article but you want to try to keep your video to about ten minutes.  For one thing, you don´t want it to be too long.  You want to draw people to click on your site.  If it is too long they will get bored and move on.

Not only that but, a lot of the submission sites have a time limit on them and they will not accept videos that are too long.

Videos are so popular that you will get a better ranking on your page because search engines see it as relevant and interesting to their viewers.  So if you want to get ranked high in the search engines, I suggest that you get started on creating your video.

Also, your video does not have to be “ultra professional” just write out what you want to say and practice it until you are satisfied with your presentation.

More often that not less is more.  So be direct!  Out line the benefits of your product or service to your prospects and don´t forget to tell them what you want them to do.

For example, if you want them to go to your site and fill out their name and email, say it.  Don´t be shy and scared to let the viewer know what you expect of them.

If you want them to call you then tell them to do so.  And give them the times you are available. 
I cannot stress this enough.  You will lose sales and potential prospects if you don´t.  And can you afford to leave this money on the table?

Submitting your video along with the other forms of media placement I´vetold you about will get you traffic.  But more important it will drive qualified traffic to your site or directly to you, if your aim is to have them call you.

That´s all there is to Step number five in creating massive success in your business. 

Get to it and by all means have some fun!

See you in the next installment.

So are you ready to move on to step #3 in creating massive success in your business?

Step #3 is directly related to step #2. There is not much work involved as you have already done the hard work in the prior step.

Step #3 is reforming your article into a press release format.

Now just like in step #2 you will have to do some research online and find as many press release sites as you can.

Some are paid sites and some are absolutely free! You must decide if your budget can handle it or not. Again if you don´t have the money right now then choose as many free sites as you can to submit your press release to.

As you start to see success you can always go back to some of the paid services and start automating your business.

Press releases are extremely powerful because it not only gets you phenomenal exposure, but it helps you create backlinks to your site.

Also press releases are like adding fuel to the fire. There are literally a ton of news sites, news rooms, and trade magazines that might want to pick up your article if the the content is relevant to them. So when they do, you have just added relvancy to your site by creating another backlink.

The wonderful thing about press releases is that it gets your information out to the media. And after all this is all about media placement. So if you have a new product on the market or a sale, or anything at all that presents your product or service, it places it right in front of the eyes of prospects to your business.

Now here are a few things you need to focus on when creating a press release.

1. Identify your target market.
2. Figure out what kind of media they read, watch, or listen to.
3. Find a USP(Unique Selling Position) that is directed toward your market.
4. Write the release in accordance to the template provided by the Press Release site.
5. Submit your release.

Your release should include a Headline that captures your readers attention and tells them what´s in it for them. If possible put it in bold type, capital letters, and double spaced.

Try to lead them into your first paragraph.

Keep in mind the first paragraph should be your strongest part of your release, next to your headline of course.

This is where you put the meat on the bones so to speak. Focus on the five “W´s” here, (who, what, where, when, and why)

The second paragraph is where you establish your credibility. You can do this drawing on quotes of experts in the field. My mentor says that you should do write this from a third party perspective and I tend to agree. This puts you on level with the experts thus making an expert out of you as well through association. Let the reader know why you are sending this and why they should read it.

What benefit do they get out of it?

Last but not least, your final paragraph should include a call to action. Tell the reader to visit your website or call a specific number to learn more.

That ladies and gentlemen concludes the third installation of this series. Be sure to come back to the next installation where you will find out how to use your original article/press release to create even more massive success in your business. 2.
