5 Marketing Strategies To Catapult Your Business
Posted by: | Comments1. Write a book. Take a moment to really think about the expertise you bring to the table. Write down at least 10 areas and write a paragraph about each. You now have the beginnings of a book. Elaborate on each section and send it off to an editor. Hand the finished product off to a virtual assistant for formatting. Then use a Print on Demand service like LuLu.com or Xlibris.com for publishing.
2. Article Marketing. There are many article directories, but not all of them are worth your time. Since you’re trying to get traffic to your website, you want to find the very best ones. It can be hard to choose since the search engine’s “love” for these directories seems to change all the time. Still, there are a few that you can always count on.
These include:
EzineArticles.com
GoArticles.com
ArticleDashboard.com
IdeaMarketers.com
3. Use Google Adwords and split test your ads. Sometimes, people don’t click on our ads even when we think they’re great. There are many different reasons for this, and that’s why it’s so important to split test your ads. Pay Per Click engines like Google Adwords actually make this easier than ever. You can set up two or more different ads so you can see what is the better performer over time. I recommend that you take advantage of this because you might find that one ad never gets clicks and the other gets great clicks and conversions. Once you have these results, you can delete the non-performer and concentrate on the one that’s giving you the level of traffic and sales that you want.
4. Use Facebook. There are many ways to use Facebook as a business tool:
You can update people with your blog entries.
You can use the updates section to talk about changes you’ve made to your website.
You can join networking groups that are related to the niche topic you’re focusing on.
You can place a link to your site and company in your profile so that as many targeted people (the friend’s you’ve selected) as possible can view it.
5. Use Squidoo.com. Developed by Seth Godin, Squidoo is an excellent website that can help you generate traffic to your own site. You create “lenses” with Squidoo, which are not necessarily blogs, but not websites either. You could say lenses are something in between. Squidoo offers many different modules that help you add content quicker and easier than you might think possible. Squidoo also lets you place your RSS feed from your blog on your lens. This is a hands-off way to keep your lens fresh with content since it will update itself as you update your blog. Your blog gets the benefit of the great link.
