10 Mistakes That Will Crush Your Email Marketing Campaign (blog information)

November 23rd, 2008 admin Posted in internet | No Comments »

By Mike McCoy

  Email marketing is an integral component of success in your Internet business. If you can steer clear of some of the mistakes that many marketers make, you can earn an enviable income. If you’re ready to advance your Internet marketing campaign and make money online, you’ve got to learn money-making tactics that convert into sales.

Here are 10 critical errors that will kill your business:

1. Sending spam. Spamming is illegal with harsh penalties for those who break the law. Spam is email that is sent anonymously to a large list of recipients, but it goes beyond that and the parameters can be confusing. Many people are puzzled about what is legally considered spam and what is not, so it’s best to send mail only to people on your list. That way you won’t risk losing your ISP.

2. Writing so-so subject lines. The goal of the subject line is to get readers to open your email. Your subject lines must contain a reader benefit and evoke curiosity in the recipient. It must say, Open me now!

3. Misleading the reader. If your message doesn’t match the subject line, then you’ll turn off your list. Avoid attention-getting subject lines that trick the recipient.

4. Buying email lists. The key to a successful Internet marketing campaign is to send email to prequalified prospects. If you buy a list, chances are that you won’t get the results that you had hoped for. Less is often more in Internet marketing.

5. Sending emails for the sake of sending emails. You must provide quality content for recipients. Offer free tips, inform them how to do something successfully, or provide a solution to their problems. If they think your email is wasting their time, they won’t bother opening anything else from you in the future.

6. Being too formal. Talk directly to the reader, as if he is sitting next to you. If your email sounds too business-like, he’ll likely delete it. Emails should be a soft sell, not an over-zealous sales call.

7. Injecting the “Me” Factor. Here’s a harsh slap of reality for new marketers: Your prospects don’t care about YOU. They want to know what you can DO for them. Don’t talk about yourself too much in the email. Focus on reader benefits instead.

8. Forgetting the call-to-action. If you write an interesting email that captures immediate attention but doesn’t ask the reader to take action, you’ll lose a sale right away. Be sure to end with a call-to-action that focuses on scarcity, value, or a time-limited promotion.

9. Including too many links or images. If you try to over-deliver on the content, your recipients email may disable the links. While content is king, focus on one good thing at a time in your email.

10. Adding too much hype. Over-the-top hype does not work in an email campaign. If you want your Internet business to thrive, focus on providing quality content that speaks directly to the reader with a message he’ll respond to.

Email marketing is an effective way to supercharge your Internet marketing campaign. If you provide good content, benefits to the readers, and avoid the appearance of spam, you can make money online and increase your profits exponentially.

Google Adsense program has many online website owners and marketers seriously concerned.
By ANOOP SINGH LUTHRA

  First, Google made a change in its Adsense program, letting advertisers choose between putting their ads in the search results or on the content pages of Adsense publishers. Search won out and started to receive the higher bids. Search results convert better than content ads.

Next, Google has cracked down on Junk Adsense sites, like they should. These sites consisted mainly of software generated re-hashed search engine links and were totally annoying to say the least. For more details go to www.adsense-dollar-factory.com. But Google also cracked down on ’squeeze pages’ or ‘affiliate landing pages’ - a lucrative source of income for many online marketers, mainly because these pages helped marketers build an opt-in list or use permission based email.

The results of these changes produced an Adsense meltdown for many online marketers.

Some Internet marketers are speculating recent changes could even mean the death of Adsense. One online marketer, Scott Boulch even published a free report entitled ‘The Death of Adsense”.

Many affiliate marketers would agree with Boulch on some of his points, especially the obvious fact that using Adsense on your web content is starting on the bottom rung of the online marketing ladder. Instead of receiving pennies per click with Adsense, alert marketers and webmasters have already discovered that by using CPA (Cost-Per-Action) and direct affiliate links, they can produce significantly more revenue from their web pages. Why earn pennies per click when you can earn , or OVER 0 per click?

But the fine people at Google are catching on…

In the past Google has made its own swing to the Cost-Per-Action direction with its referral system for the Firefox Browser and giving webmasters credit for signing up Adwords and Adsense accounts.

As more and more commerce goes online… acquiring customers for such diverse services as insurance, real estate, telephone, marketing, web hosting, travel, mortgage loans, cable TV, banking… you name it, almost any service or product sold in the marketplace is now turning to the Internet for customers and lifelong clients.

Enormous sums of money will change hands. Perhaps, the most lucrative of these is customer acquisition. Advertisers are turning to the Internet and webmasters/marketers for acquiring these lifelong customers for their respective services and products. Businesses and companies are quickly realizing paying an attractive lead generating fee/commission is smart business. They quickly build a client base for their services or products and quickly recoup their expenses - realizing in the long run these leads will generate huge profits.

It can also mean huge profits for the CPA networks like ValueClick’s Commission Junction and Rakuten’s LinkShare who supply the advertisers with publishers and website marketers to harvest these leads. It can be a lucrative venture for all involved, especially for those online marketers who have cornered the search engines for lucrative niche markets in big ticket items. Even small ticket items pay quite well for those marketers who know how to market online.

Of course, cutting out the middle man has always been even a more profitable venture for most marketers. As more and more webmasters realize they can make much more with dealing directly with companies, rather than going through a middle process like Google Adsense or the countless other affiliate/CPA networks … online marketers can reap even bigger rewards.

For an online marketer when you get a phone call or email from the CEO or the affiliate manager with a company or service you’re promoting with your website - you know you have made it! Dealing directly with a company usually means bigger commissions and special exclusive deals just for you or your sites.

However, could CPA be a better alternative for the current Adsense contextual ads?

Google would be the natural choice for a middleman if there ever was one. You can also go to www.yourgoogleincome.com. Besides, many savvy marketers know the Google brand name is trusted online, any product/service promoted through Google would be an easy sell. Many argue Google already dominates the web, why should it not be the one to handle these CPA transactions through its Adsense program.

On the flip side, over countless updates and changes to its indexing, many webmasters have experienced more than a few negative dealings with Google. Many have won, many have lost in this Google Age, but all have realized riding the Google Search Engine is like running with the bulls at Pamplona, totally thrilling unless you’re one of the unfortunate few who get trampled in the process.

However, not every office has the supply budget to afford a personal fax machine and a dedicated fax phone line. In these cases, fax to email service can be used in place of the personal fax machine.

When a person signs up for an e-mail fax account, they are given the a fax number that can be used for personal and business communication. This fax number will be entered into the sending fax machine in the render document will be delivered to the receiver via an e-mail account. Not only are e-mail faxes money saving, but they allow you to receive faxes in your e-mail when you’re away from the office for traveling anywhere in the world that has Internet access.

Never again will a business person have to worry about not receiving that important document are not receiving that important communication because of the lack of fax machine.

(Blogs online) Small Business SEO: Can You Really Afford it?

November 22nd, 2008 admin Posted in internet | No Comments »

By seomul Evans

  Let’s face it, when you look at it on paper, SEO is an expensive endeavor. Whether you do it yourself, use the services of a consultant, or hire someone else to do it for you, the cost can be overwhelming.

In fact, some SEO experts charge as much as $500-$1000 per hour. It is such an involved process that the price tag is understandably pretty significant. As a small business owner, you have to decide whether search engine optimization is worth the expense.

Can you afford to invest in SEO services? Can you afford not to? The key to affordable SEO is an efficient balance of necessities, time, and budget. Here are three things to consider as you decide whether SEO is right for your small business.

Necessities of SEO

Search engine optimization is a huge process, but not every component of SEO is necessary for every campaign. It’s no secret that the most fruitful campaigns utilize every type of marketing available, but doing everything doesn’t necessarily equal success. If you make sure that you’re doing the right things at the right time, then you can save time and effort while still creating a successful campaign.

Time to Invest in SEO

Time is the single most important aspect of SEO. It’s simply a time-consuming process. If you’re not spending your own time doing it then you’re paying someone else for their time.

Because time is your most valuable resource, one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make is which projects you’ll take on first. Prioritizing your tasks will help you make good use of your valuable time. Tackle your top-priority tasks first and save the less-important ones for later.

As you consider your use of time, also keep in mind that SEO is part waiting game. Anytime you think about Organic search engine optimization, you have to remember that SEO results take a significant amount of time to show up online. Make sure you understand just how long it might take and how it will affect your business. Depending on the industry and the competition, better rankings take 4-6 months

SEO Budget

This is the primary factor in determining whether you’ll spend your own time doing SEO or hire someone else for the use of their time. But don’t let budget be your only consideration. Also keep in mind the value added when a professional takes care of your web optimization tasks.

Determine the value added by an SEO professional by considering the quality of work and the potential of the search engine optimization work to get results for your business, however, more money doesn’t always guarantee a better product. On the other hand, remember that you often get what you pay for.

You can only determine the true cost of SEO by looking at your return on investment. Remember that the true value of search engine optimization is greater than the sum of its parts. Even a small increase in time, money, and energy invested can net huge results. By investing whatever you can, whenever you can, and wherever you can, you can potentially see a big difference in your business’ success. Reinvesting your returns can lead to even more success, and SEO suddenly doesn’t look so expensive anymore.

The Cost of Doing it Wrong (Doing it Yourself)

And while it may be tempting to do SEO yourself, small business owners should especially consider hiring an internet marketing agency or search engine optimization expert. Small businesses are already at a disadvantage when it comes to SEO simply because of size and budget.

Don’t risk putting yourself at an even greater disadvantage by doing it wrong or by inadvertently utilizing tactics that could harm your ranking or even get you banned by search engines like Google, Yahoo, or MSN. Even if you choose not to hire an SEO expert to take care of all of your optimization tasks, consider hiring a consultant to check the work you’ve done. This is a good way to keep careless mistakes from happening over and over again.

Several Proven Job Interview Success Tips
By Jerry Glynn

  A job interview can be stressful, but it does not have to be, especially if you follow these tips. First, research and find out as much as you can about the company that you intend to work for. This includes finding out as much as possible about the duties of the position you are applying for since these vary by company. You should also bring several copies of your resume with you even if the HR director or prospective employer doesnt tell you to do so, and it goes without saying that the resume you bring must be well written.

Make eye contact with the person who is interviewing you. This shows that you not only are confident, but also, that you are interested in what they are telling you. Dress professionally, because even though the workplace is casual, you are there to make a lasting impression, and your job interview outfit needs to reflect that. The corporate dress code is becoming more and more lenient, but for interview purposes you cant go wrong with a simple pair of dress pants and a button down shirt. Women should wear a blouse and dress pants or a dark colored skirt that covers, rather than skims the knee while standing.

Always try to answer interview questions in sixty seconds or less. This does not mean that you have to resort to monosyllabic answers, but keep in mind that long answers can cause prospective employers minds to wander. And cause you to lose track of the original question being asked. Be sure to listen, which means paying careful attention to the question being asked before you respond to it. If you need clarification ask for it. Asking an interviewer to repeat a question is not necessarily a sign that you werent paying attention, and common sense that it is always better to know exactly what you are being asked before you attempt to answer someone.

You should be prepared to answer typical interview questions, including where you see yourself in ten years, who has been your biggest professional influence, describe your greatest strengths and weaknesses, etc. You should also be prepared to ask some questions of your own. This shows that you are proactive and interested in the company. It is often the people who ask questions about the history of the company, further details about the position they are interested in, and similar, who make real lasting impressions on their interviewers.

Finally, do not forget to send a Thank You note, or Thank You email no later than two days after the interview.

If you are looking for one of the best websites to post free advertisements and search online classified ads, the author recommends Geebo Online

Marketplace.
