Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

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.

Okay, yesterday in our steps to massive success series, we talked about writing articles. I hope that you got started and put yourself on the right path.

Now in step 2 let´s talk about what to do with your article once you have written it.

Step 2 is Article Submission.

Having said that, there a many article directories and submission site available. Again, I suggest that you go online and search the keyword article submission sites or article directories.

Do your research and find out which ones are compatible to you.

Some cost money and some are little or no cost. Obviously, if you are on a tight budget then you want to direct your attention towards the free submission sites.

But, let me say one thing about choosing your article submission site. Think of this as a business and in a business you should invest something towards making that business grow.

Typically, you get what you pay for. And those which you pay for tend to offer more advantages.

You are writing articles to get targeted traffic more than anything else. So when you pay for an automated service the chances are more likely that your article will be picked up be the top article directories.

But if at this moment giving out a little invest is a no go then find the free sites and submit your articles. That is far better than doing nothing.

Something else to consider is, that this is a numbers game. In other words, don´t stop at just one submission or article directory site. No way! Submit to as many places that will let you. You are trying to build momentum. So put the numbers in your favor.

Now depending on what you are trying to submit there may be some sites that do not accept your article. I know of at least one that does not accept articles on internet marketing.

You know what I say to that? So what! There are plenty of places to go that will. I consider it their lost. Because the internet is just too large of an industry to turn down anything to do with the internet. Marketing is just one aspect of the whole thing.

One of my personal mentors refers to article writing as planting seeds. And that is exactly what you are doing with artcle writing. You see anyone who takes the time to read your article and click on your link, is the most valuable asset you could obtain. A “targeted prospect or customer”. And they are looking to you as the expert who is going to solve their problem.

So get ou there and find a few article directories and submission sites. Sign up to the ones you like. Be sure to read and adhere to all the rules that they have and start submitting your articles.

One other thing before I go. You want to be consistent. Decide that you are going to write one or two article a week and stick with it. Be sure to supply the best content you have to offer and before you know it, you will be picking up traffic like you´ve never seen before.

Stay tuned for step 3

There are basically 9 basic steps to building massive success in your business online or off. So I have decided to do a series of articles detailing all 9 steps.

If you take the time study each one and master them, there will be no way that you could fail in your business.

As I stated in my previous article, “CMPS”, stands for Certified Media Placement Specialist. That is exactly what you will learn by following the steps I intend to cover in this series of articles.

Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned pro, you will benefit from the steps provided here in this series.

So let´s get started with the first step in creating success in your business.

Step 1: Write an Article

That sounds pretty simple doesn´t it? Well it is if you remember that it is all about providing good content for your readers. Obviously, it should be centered around your business.

BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE A SALES PITCH!

I cannot stress that enough. The minute people feel like they are being sold they will lose interest and move on to the next article that interest them.

You say then how do I get them to go to my sales page and buy something? I mean that is what I am trying to do isn´t it? Make money?

Of course it is, but this is not the place to do it. You will be provided a resource box in which you can place your link to your website or sales page.

In it you give a short bio of yourself or a description of the product or service you have for sale.

Now that we have cleared that up, let´s talk about some of the key elements your article must have.

1.) Title- Your title should capture the readers attention. That is all it is there to do. Get the reader interested in reading your article.

2.) Article Body- ideally you are looking to provide 500 to 700 words of good content. Remember, now that you have captured their attention with your title, you have to deliver the goods so to speak. Give the reader what they came for and that is to learn about what your title is pertaining to.

Now you are probably saying, ” Of course I would do that, why would I write about something that has nothing to do with my title?”

Short answer, many people do. If you do believe me, go pick up the next Enquirer. Read the sensationalized front page titles and then actually read the article pertaining to it.

Most of the time it was just a hyped up statement design to get you to buy the paper. Only to find out later that the article does not do justice to the title.

3.) The third and last part of your article should be the close. In other words bring all of the elements of the article together and try to draw the readers attention to your resource box.

Say something like, ” I hope you found my article on blah, blah, blah interesting. If you would like to learn more about blah,blah, blah, scroll down to my resource box and click on the link provided.”

Now let me say that there are some people who just don´t have the time or lust to create their own articles. It doesn´t matter if you have a little money you can hire ghost writers to write the articles for you. Just go to Google and do a search for freelance writers. Check out Elance.com, ThePhantomWriters.com, TheRealArticleFactory.com for starters. I´m sure you will find many others.

So that is your first step to creating massive success with media placement. Hopefully it was helpful in some way.

The answer may surprise you. It´s not how to write articles or blogs. It´s not the ins and outs of Google Adwords or SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It´s not even knowing how to write stellar ads that will have customers lining up to give you their money.

These are all wonderful skills to have and as an internet marketer you must learn to master them.

But the number one skill you should possess is…

MEDIA PLACEMENT!

That´s right. If you don´t know how to get your product, website, or information before hungry qualified prospects, all the skills in the world are not going to make you money.

Media Placement is what all successful businesses in the world do everyday. McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Mercedes, UPS, and just about every successful company you could imagine are skilled in getting their media placed before their prospects.

You say, “Well that´s fine for them but, I´m no major company with a huge advertising budget. How can that help me?”.

Listen, no matter what you are selling, if nobody knows that you have anything to offer, how are they ever going to buy anything from you?

Imagine yourself as gas station in the middle of nowhere. I mean there are no roads or highways for miles. How many customers do you think you will get?

That´s bad media placement.

Now, take that same gas station and position it on a major highway where the next gas station is maybe 50 to 100 miles further down the road. How many customers do you think you will attract then? The answer to that is easy.

That my friends, is good media placement!

Media Placement on the internet is really no different. You see you need to put yourself out there so that you get noticed. Cover all your bases so to speak. Educate yourself on the innumerable ways to promote your product, website, or service. Find out how to do it intelligently. For example, let´s say you are selling jet skis and you decided that you wanted to advertise in magazines. You would not advertise in “Winter Wonderland” magazine. It just doesn´t make sense. Even if “Winter Wonderland” had a list of 500,000 paid subscribers you´d be a lot better off advertising in “Summer Travel” magazine with only 100,000 paid subscribers. Bottom line is that these are more targeted prospects and not only that, but you could sell to this list over and over again with other summer related products.

There are nummerous ways to place your media. Some of them can be costly. But many are absolutely free or only pennies on the dollar.

This is all about developing a strategy and sticking to it. You must start somewhere though. Start a blog, write articles, submit classified ads and press releases. The list goes on and on. You just have to get the momentum going in your favor. Once you´ve established a system and dedicate yourself to implementing it, there is no way you are going to fail.

Did you know that 95% of all new businesses fail? It´s true. And I would be willing to bet,that these businesses were lacking in the number one skill to making money online. Media Placement.
