Joseph’s Internet Marketing Tips

Well ladies and gentlemen, this is the last installment of 5 profitable steps to blogging.  Hopefully you have found it somewhat helpful in your endeavors as an internet marketer thus far.

So the last step is:

Write a product review to create more content for your blog.

In writing a review there are 4 points to consider.

1.) Talk about your personal experience with the product. 

*If you haven´t used it yourself you can´t very well review it.

2.) List the good points about the product.  You can also get other peoples opinions by using Google.  Just search for the “name of the product + review”

3.) Don´t forget to share the negative aspects of the product.  You want to be honest and even the best product in the world is not perfect.

4.) Call-to-Action.  Tell your reader to click on the link that leads them to your sales page.  Then let your sales page do the selling for you.

Bonus* Cloak you affiliate link.  There is no bigger turn off to your reader than when they look at your url address and see your affiliate ID.  They know immediately that you are trying to sell them something.

Two free cloaking/shrinking services are:

Now you probably already have some affiliate products to sell.  But if you don´t I will have a few listed on my side panel for you to check out, along with some Cost-Per-Action programs.

That´s it for 5 profitable steps to blogging.  Again, I hope it has been helpful to you.

How To Get Traffic With Article Marketing!

Why should you use article marketing?

IT´S FREE

Doesn´t require a lot of time.

Builds content for the search engines.

Generates free traffic to your site.

And did I say IT`S FREE!

Now some of you don´t like to write and that´s okay.  You can hire writers at http://www.getafreelancer.com.  Cost a little money, but hey you are free to work other parts of your business.

So first thing you need to do is register with http://www.ezinearticles.com  And submit your articles to them first.  They are the number one article directory and they have the best page rank of all the directories out there.

Once your article is approved you can always go back and submit that article to other article directories and create a backlink.

Now there are tons of other directories out there and I won´t waste your time here.  If you are interested in others I will have some posted in my resource box on my page.

Now you must write at least a 250 word article.  Up to 400 words is optimal.  Keep it short and to the point but with all the relevant information necessary to keep your readers interested.

Last but not least, fill out your resource box provided at the end of your article.  In here you should just write something like” for more tips, click here”.  And follow that with your blog url.

That´s it for 5 profitable steps to blogging part 4.

Welcome to 5 profitable steps to blogging part 3!

Hopefully everybody has already done their keyword research and set up their blog as discussed in parts 1 & 2.

Now lets look at writing post for your blog.

There are five major components to writing post for your blog.

1.) Research

2.) Title

3.) First Paragraph

4.) The Body

5.) The Last Paragraph

That´s it.  Once you master that, you´ll be cooking with gas!:)

1.) Research – Do a search on Google for your related subject.  Find the sites that

     have the pertinent information you need and take notes so that you can form

     your own article from the various sources you have gathered.

2.) Title – Remember to have a keyword in your title. 

     Keep it simple like: “How to…” or “5 secrets to…”

3.) First Paragraph – Tell your audience what to expect in the article. 

     Address the problem you intend to solve for them.

4.) The Body – Keep it organized.  If you have 5 steps to something then list it as

      step 1, step 2… and so forth.

     Try to keep each paragraph to a maximum of 3 sentences.

5.) Last Paragraph – Do a short summary and conclusion to what you have just  

      written.  Remember to state the most important tip in your conclusion.

That is all there is to writing a good blog post or for that matter a good article.

The second part of 5 profitable steps to blogging is:

Blog Set Up!

First, find an available domain name.  Go to GoDaddy.  On the home page you can plug in whatever name you like and GoDaddy will tell you if it is available in a matter of seconds. 

Next, select a webhost.

According to John Yeo, Professional Wedding Blogger(http://bloggerspaycheck.com/), and the man from which I reseached this blog post, you can do a Google search for GoDaddy coupons and get a discount on hosting.

I personally, like HostGator for hosting.  And there are others such as bluehost.com and directhorizon.com

Once you´ve chosen your host you can access the control panel(cpanel) in “yourdomain.com/cpanel”.

Now scroll down and find the fantastico button to install WordPress to your site.  This is the perfect site for blogging!

Next login to the dashboard of your blog by going to “yourdomain.com/wp-admin”.

You can choose a theme from the ones available by WordPress or do a search on Google for “WordPress themes”.  Upload and unzip the files in the cpanel.

Now your blog is set up and ready for posting!

We will be covering this topic tomorrow.  So go ahead and set up your blog today and tomorrow you will be well on your way to making money with the 5 profitable steps to blogging!

5 Ways To Get Traffic To Your Website

1.) Get traffic  by writing articles for your niche market and submit them to article/ ezine directories.

2.) Increase traffic to your site by creating inbound links from other sites. Spend time every day increasing the number of incoming links to your site.  Social bookmarking is a great way to increase links with very little effort on your part.

3.)  Dramatically increase your website traffic by creating a viral ebook or report.   There are several examples of this recently, with free reports by internet gurus such as Rich Schefren and Mike Filsaime “The Manifesto” and “The Death of Internet Marketing.”   Another well known report is “The Death of Adsense” by Scott Boulch.

4.) Forums, are another great way to get traffic to your website.  If have a niche where people like to talk about a topic, this can be a great way to increase traffic.  Post comments on the internet that you are starting a new forum on whatever your subject is and people interested in your topic will come.

5.) Pay-per-click, such as Google AdWords, is is probably the most reliable way to get traffic to your website.  But be careful.  You must learn how to do this properly or you could end up losing your shirt and generating no sales at all.  Purchase Perry Marshall`s ebook on adwords and save yourself a lot of money and heartache in the process.
