Developing the right marketing campaign for your online business

If you have recently started an online business, you are probably starting to realize that the biggest obstacle to overcome is learning how to market correctly. Starting an Online Business is not the hard part – it’s developing the right marketing campaign that can be a bit of a struggle. The wrong marketing campaign will wind up frustrating you and costing you a lot of hard-earned money. The right marketing campaign will target your audience and draw traffic to your website.

When you think marketing for your online business, think traffic. Getting traffic to your website is the number one way to build your home-based business. But what you want is to not only drive initial traffic to your website, but to make sure you maintain a high rank with search engines so that your target audience will keep coming back. So, if you’re Starting an Online Business, pay close attention to the following advice:

Firstly, get your website listed with a number of search engines. You may want to list yourself with search databases that are in your area of expertise. For example, if you have a website that sells travel packages, do your research to find out which search engines are primarily used for travel. Google, MSN and Yahoo are the three most popular search engines, so your first step is to make sure you are listed with at least one of these engines, if not all of them.

Secondly, anyone who is Starting an Online Business needs to understand the importance of content-based Internet marketing. Articles and press releases establish your online presence better than any other form of paid advertising will. By getting articles and press releases written about your online business, you will increase your traffic flow by an average of 30%. If you’re not a writer, not to worry, as there are many affordable article-writing services out there.

Thirdly, either start an e-zine or submit articles to existing e-zines. Really focus on all you can get out of e-zines: trading banner ads and classifieds, submitting articles to all available free e-zines out there and starting an online forum or message board linked to your e-zine of choice. Don’t forget to provide your website link and contact info at the end of the article.

Finally, anyone who is Starting an Online Business needs to immediately pool together all the available social networking mediums that are out there: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MSN, email lists and blogs. Social networking mediums such as these are free, simple to use and great ways to connect with people and market your product. You don’t have to use all the mediums out there, but make sure you’re using two or three (for example, Facebook and one or two blog sites).

The world of home-based businesses is like any other entrepreneurial industry – it takes work, commitment and a willingness to never stop promoting. The reason so many people fail at their online business is because they don’t understand the fundamentals of developing an online marketing campaign that works. Don’t be left in the dust by your online competitors: develop the right marketing campaign when Starting an Online Business today!

Five Strategies For A Successful Internet Home-Based Business

In these times of economic uncertainty, wouldn’t it be nice to create a successful internet business that could provide you with a secondary income? Bills are piling up and people just can’t get ahead with their nine-to-five jobs. This is exactly why most people enter the world of Internet home-based businesses.

What is the difference between the average Joe and A successful Internet Business entrepreneur? Time, patience, commitment and adherence to some basic principles is what anyone who wants to succeed in the world of home-based businesses should stick to.

What are these five tried, tested and true pieces of advice to a successful Internet home-based business, you might ask? Find a mentor, develop a solid marketing campaign, don’t jump the gun at false leads and be realistic, stay focused and committed.

Finding a mentor, someone who is available for continuing education, instruction and support, is one of the most vital components to a successful internet home-based business – just be sure to do your homework so you don’t get duped. When choosing a mentor, do some digging. The Internet is still a fairly anonymous communication medium, which means that there are a lot of scam artists out there. Are there bad reports on this individual with your preferred business? Does this person have an established online presence? Is this person actually available for contact, or are they little more than smoke and mirrors?

Developing a solid marketing campaign is a multi-level process that is crucial to your online success with your home-based business. The most important thing about your marketing campaign is to be relentless and never stop promoting. A good mentor will advise you on such areas such as: article and press release writing, content-based marketing, , promoting through social network mediums and other ways to boost your search engine status.

Staying focused and committed means setting aside time each day to work at your home-based business. At the beginning stage, this is easy – because you’re excited and eager to earn a secondary source of income. But, as time rambles on, you may find your home-based business sits on the back burner as kids, full-time jobs and other commitments override your Internet business in priority. If you’re going to succeed in the world of home-based businesses, you have to work at it every day, on both your business itself and your marketing campaign.

Don’t jump the gun at false leads. Watch out for home-based business opportunities that simply sound too good to be true. Your mentor should show you the dangers in paying too much for false leads. Trust your instincts.

Be realistic. If you’re one of many who honestly believe you’re going to become the next “overnight millionaire”, then turn off your computer and don’t bother turning it on again. People who feed into such hype are the same people that make online scam artists millionaires….and the cycle goes on and on and on…

The reality is if you heed the advice given to you here, do your research and head into your home-based business with both eyes wide open, you are well on your way to earning a reliable secondary source of income. There are people out there who have actually quit their nine-to-fives due to their online entrepreneurial success – and you can become one of them. Get smart and start your home-based business today!

What Does Technology Have To Do With Your Home Business Success Anyways? Part1

I am going to be honest and upfront with you....I do not like old school MLM business building tactics. Long are the days gone when those techniques gave real results.

After all, who in the world would rather hunt down strangers at a mall, or spend their time cold- calling dead-broke leads when they could wake up to an inbox filled with prospects, distributors, and even cash?

There is a much less stressful way to building a Successful Home based Business.....

We are living in the Internet age. We need to wake up and be utilizing this powerful tool to our advantage every single day. People who use the internet are information seekers and we need to be capitalizing on that big time.

There are three reasons why so few succeed In a Home Based Business, while most fail:

1. Technology (Successful people use the internet to leverage their efforts).
2. Duplicable Systems (Successful people do not attempt to duplicate 'people')
3. Training (Successful people teach how to do what they do Step-By-Step)

Every single industry since human progression has been revolutionized by technology and systems. From agriculture, to the industrial age, to the computer age.....absolutely everything.

Honestly, if you are not using technology, and if you are not using a system to build your home based business today....you are literally like a fish out of water.

Most network Marketers do not know how to build their business. Most are being led down the beaten path of the MLM past.

What Does Technology Have To Do With Your Home Business Success Anyways? Part 2

Most network Marketers do not know how to build their business. Most are being led down the beaten path of the MLM past.

Honestly any business takes time to succeed in. Network Marketing is no different. You don't just have a huge downline and massive product volume flowing through your group over night. So the question remains....how are you going to earn more money right now in the mean time?

I asked myself that question over and over, but it wasn't until I learned about a very powerful concept called "the funded proposal" and than everything became crystal clear. And truthfully, Funded Proposal changed my life in a huge way!

The funded proposal taught me that there are many more ways to make money in this industry than just one. What the funded proposal showed me how to do was to turn my prospects not only into customers and distributors in my downline but also into ‘Up Front Cash’ for my business today (even if those prospects didn't join the business).

Pretty hard to fathom there’s other network marketers out there making huge sums of money in a single day while you might be struggling to get a prospect on your conference call right? Seriously though… It’s not your fault you’ve been taught these ridiculous business building methods as your sole means of success in this industry.

Statistics show that less than 1% of home-based businesses make it. You don’t need to be a salesperson to be successful online. All you need to do is learn how to implement “attraction marketing”. You can learn the concept of Attraction Marketing through the step-by-step free 7 Day Online Success Boot Camp video series

Why Use A Funded Proposal to Build Your Business?

You May be Asking, why use a Funded proposal and how would it work?

It's simple really.

Building a business doesn't have to be hard but for a lot of people it is and the failure rate is astonishing. It doesn't have to be that way. There is an easier way to building a business and it's with a Funded Proposal.

See with a funded proposal you will build a large list of serious targeted people who pay you without even joining your primary business. What that gives you is up front cash to cover your marketing cost so there is no money going out of your pocket.

Once you have a list that’s growing you will not only get up front cash from the funded proposal you will get cash from multiple streams of income as well. What do I mean by multiple streams of income you may be asking? Well it's informational and educational products of high value that you can introduce to the people in your list. Depending on the size of your list many people could purchase those products, resulting in more up front cash to fund your marketing ventures.

It's a win win situation really, if you market your funded proposal right and you are building a list. If you are not building a list with your business than you are at a major disadvantage, not only will it take you longer to build it, you will have much unnecessary frustration. Frustration is never a good emotion in any aspect of life. It brings with it negative thoughts and self doubt, Which leads people down the quitting path. Don't be that person and take action today to better yourself. Find out within yourself what you need to do to create greatness and take action no matter what.

How To Never Quit And Do Whatever It Takes To Make Greatness Happen Part 1

You Maybe Thinking, it is much easier to write that statement down on a piece of paper than it is to put into practice right? If you think that way now than you are off to a really wrong start. Yes I am communicating to you right now. You see success just doesn't happen out of pure luck. Very rarely does it work that way.

You got to work hard, and I mean really hard and you got to BELIEVE in YOU and believe in your business. If you have not realized how important that is for the success of your business before today you MUST realize the importance of it now. It is crucial for your success that you believe in you and your business and then work really hard to make your goals happen. Not believing in yourself affects your mindset in a very negative way.

Your mindset has to be positive; if you are having trouble thinking positively about yourself than my suggestion would be to work on that for sure. You will not succeed unless you check your mindset and your self - talk everyday. Like I said, success does not come easy it requires a lot of work in every aspect of your life. Just remember quitters never win, and winners never quit. It's crucial that when your hardest hit you pick yourself up and just not quit. You will never know when success will happen, it could be just around the corner.

How to insure you will not quit.....

1. Discover your "why". This one thing is the very first thing you should do when joining a business and make sure you visit that why everyday. When you are having a really tough day, if your why is big enough and emotional enough it will keep you focused in reaching your goals. My motivation is my family and being able to have the freedom to stay home with them and raise my children.

What is your Why? Take 5 minutes right now and write it down. DO NOT read any further until you have done this. Don't say things like I want a big house or fancy cars. You got to get right down deep and soul search. Make it an emotional enough one that you can associate pain to if your goal is not reached. For me my pain is not being able to raise my children. I would be devastated if someone else had to raise them everyday.
