Hi gang, Rick here from Community Joint Ventures with 8 Tips For Successful Internet Marketing. Internet marketing has come a long way in a short time. With tons of competition just a click away you need to have an Internet marketing strategy that works. Try these 8 tips for successful Internet marketing.

1. Get on top of the search heap. When it comes to Internet searches those who finish in the top 10 entries are winners. Getting to the top may take some doing. Keywords are the secret to search engine strategy. Using the proper keywords that both describe your site or product and are attune with popular search phrases will get you ahead.

2. Click, click, click. Use pay per click (PPC) advertising to get a lot of bang for your advertising buck. Pay per click or sponsored advertising can get you big time exposure for small time money. The key is to be sure that you have the proper keywords to get you listed in the most popular sites.

3. Give something for nothing. Everyone likes to get something for free. You don’t need to spend a fortune to give your customers and potential customers something they need. Information is a good bet. You can make it for next to nothing yet your customers feel they are getting something they need.

4. Have a great website. You don’t need special graphics or music on your site. The best sites are those that follow simple rules. The sites work well and load easily. The navigation is easy to use and things are easy to find. While you may be tempted to put everything and the kitchen sink on your site slow down. Your site will have a much more professional appearance if it isn’t cluttered with too many things.

5. Make your purchase page easily accessible. Don’t make potential customers hunt through your web site in order to find ordering information. Instead put links on each page that offer the customer to buy now. Always legitimize your company by providing a toll free phone number for customer service. Also provide an email link so people can easily ask questions. Allow fax orders as well as Internet and phone orders. The more ways you have for customers to place orders the more orders you’ll get.

6. Use lists. Gather customer information on your website by having them sign up for newsletters. Use the lists to send special marketing bulletins and special offers. Utilize coupons or special free item with purchase or the popular buy one and get another at a discounted price. These marketing strategies are sure to get you lots of business.

7. Offer more than the competition. While you can’t give away the store do think of ways that you offer better product or service than your competition. Then, use this information as a marketing strategy. For example, if you offer a full year warranty when the competition doesn’t make sure you use this to your advantage.

8. Change up your strategies. Subscribe to at least one or more monthly Internet marketing newsletters. They can provide valuable information and marketing trends that you need to be aware of. The Internet changes rapidly so don’t get left behind.

Hi gang, Rick here again from Community Joint Ventures with an article on how to Boost Your Internet Marketing With This 7 Point Checklist.

Since you only have 7-10 seconds to capture an online reader’s attention, it’s important that you use every tool available to make that reader want to stay and determine if you have information that will help them solve whatever problem they have at the moment. There is so much information available on the internet that users are in a hurry to get to the next site. As a service professional, you want to make sure that your visitor stays with your site as long as possible.

Use this 7-point checklist to evaluate the effectiveness of your internet marketing:

You have a written strategy on how you use the internet to communicate with clients.
Having a roadmap of your internet marketing ensures you have the right resources and budget for each piece you want to implement. You will also save time in the end because you won’t have to do a lot of last minute scrambling for resources, ideas, etc. Keeping in mind what will work best for your clients and potential clients, identify which tools, and what content will be most effective in getting your message out. There is no reason to blog if your market doesn’t read blogs.

Your internet marketing strategy and offline marketing strategy leverage and complement each other.
Although you can have one without the other, it makes sense to use both on and offline marketing. There needs to be consistency between the look and feel of both marketing channels. If your stationery, business cards and post cards are blue and yellow, then your web site needs to continue that theme. Leverage your online activities by promoting them offline. For example, promote your ezine with a brochure that you can distribute at networking events.

You have a clear objective with each online communication.
Whether it’s a blog, a web site or an email, each communication with your reader needs to have a clear intention. That intention can be a call to action such as to contact you or sign up for your newsletter. Or it can also be to show off your expertise and educate your reader. Whatever the communication, before creating it, know what you want your reader to do after they receive it and make sure that you are providing valuable information.

Your readers can easily read and navigate your website
Since online visitors are usually looking for information that can help them solve a problem, your site needs to be organized in a way that makes it easy for the reader to know where to go next for information. Your navigation bar should clearly label your pages and the reader should be able to go back and forth easily. More than three colors, or a background other than white makes reading online more difficult.

Your web copy clearly states the benefits you offer in the first few sentences.
Whether it’s an article, a newsletter or a web page, the visitor should have no doubt within the first few sentences that the information is valuable. Tell the reader what’s in it for them right from the beginning. Be as concise as you can while still getting your message across.

You get feedback before publishing.
It sounds simple but it’s surprising how many people don’t get feedback on information they are about to share with others before they send it out. Have someone else read your article, your web site copy or your ezine before it goes out. The benefit is not just in proofreading for spelling but also to make sure the subject makes sense, reads well and is consistent with everything else you do. You can be too close to your material. My VA does a great job of this for me.

You connect with your reader.
Make sure you are creating an emotional connection with your reader. As a service professional you probably find that easy to do in person. It may be more difficult for you in writing, but not impossible. You can make the connection by the way your web site looks, and your style of writing. Write to your reader as if you are having a telephone conversation. If you wouldn’t use a word in conversation, you probably shouldn’t use it in your copy either.

Hi gang, Rick here from Community Joint Ventures with some Simple Tips to Market Your Business. Want to spread the news of your newly-opened business, but running low on money? It’s not always the money and costly marketing strategies that bring you success in the field of business. There are various other selling techniques that don’t cost a fortune, but are equally or even more effective! Here are some of them for your benefit -

• Take the help of “World Wide Web”. For that, you don’t have to have something that rivals the flashiest sites. A solid informational site with useful information can be as effective. You can write several articles on your business and post them in different directories. Try to write them in a general yet useful way and don’t promote your business directly. In the “about the author” section, you can put a link to your website in order to direct traffic.

• Instead of targeting the whole market, you can target a niche category and acquire more business from them. For example, dog owners sometimes have their own kennels and dog shows. If you are in the pet-care business, you can target these kennels and clubs. Chances are you will get more customers from word-of-mouth.

• Getting a location near a prominent business house is an advertisement itself. If you know that a major retailer is opening its store around the same time (but not in the same line), you can definitely try the same area for your location.

• Try to get as much visual footage as possible. Give bumper stickers and promote your business at various local charities, races and events.

• Get into joint ventures with other small businesses. You can join hands with others in order to cut cost in direct mails, coupons and other promotional materials.

• When a customer is happy with your service/product, ask them to refer you to their friends and relatives. Word-of-mouth can bring in more businesses than anything else.

So, you see it’s not always money that decides whether people will become aware of your name. Insightful planning, involvement with local community and proper cooperation and understanding with others can bring you more business than spending millions on major advertising!
