  • To Write or Not to Write Articles

    One of the most important requirements for owning, running and maintaining an internet-based business or a website is the ability to write and publish articles. Plain and simple, everyone who has a website knows this. Even those who don’t have a website or blog but are frequent internet users are aware of this requirement. Articles are to information and knowledge seekers as cold, clear water is to thirsty people. Plus, the articles provide many other benefits for your website.

    One of the benefits provided by articles is putting a website high in ranking on the SERPs (search engine results pages) for keywords and keyword phrases that pertain, or are relevant to, his or her website. They also provide an attraction to website visitors who appreciat them and are linked to your website from another website or newsletter. Articles have been proven to increase the confidence and trust levels of users who visit your website and online business page.

    Benefits of articles

    Articles have also been considered as beneficial to both the business via increased traffic. When readers like your articles, they would are usually inclined to tell more of their friends, family and peers in an effort to recommend your website to them which, in turn, provides a larger volume of traffic. You derive a bigger sales volume if traffic to your trusts and believes in you; and your product and/or service would be much easier to sell when your website viitors (traffic) know you, know what you are doing, and what is discussed on your website.

    So, it is reasonable to assume that we have established the importance of articles to a website and/or business page; but it is also necessary to point out that articles play a crucial role in helping you, the website or business owner, keep ahead in the Internet marketing (IM) game. Said differently, since a website must have traffic to be considered relavent, and a well-written and compelling article is, more often than not, a traffic magnet, the article is therefore deemed imperative. That having been said, there is one dilemma: Not many people like writing articles.

    Many website owners would rather spend their time on something other than writing articles, and unless you’re a big time company, you don’t have the necessary resources to use on a pool of article writers. Plagiarism or copying of other articles is frowned upon (illegal) and could easily get you into trouble, the kind of trouble that often results in a hefty fine and/or jail time. So what are your other options?

    Public domain articles

    Well, for starters if you hate writing articles and you can’t afford to hire people to write for you then it seems that your only other choice is to get free articles; but you might ask, from where? And the most credible answer to that question is, the public domain which is the first most website/blog owner look at for free articles. With public domain articles you won’t have problems with copyright infringement and the possible penalties and fines if you get caught committing plagiarism.

    Public domain articles are articles freely given to the public for public use and once they are given you can do whatever you want with them. You can publish them to your site, claim them as yours, place them in a newsletter, or any other use you deem suitable for your own purposes. It’s you decision! Always remember, however, that you will have to choose articles that are very relevant to your site’s topic.

    The downside to public domain articles is that since they are free for everybody, many of your competitors may have access to them as well; and since every site needs to feature original and unique content even though they may have the same niche, this could present a predicament to you and the other site owners utilizing public domain articles. To eliminate such a predicament it will be necessary for you to edit the articles a bit and even place more keywords and keyword phrases in them to improve the quality, uniqueness and originality of such articles.

    Sites with similar topics

    Another way to get free articles is to allow other sites which has the same subject or topic as yours to submit articles to your site. This would be only to augment your existing content or else all your articles would be leading to other sites since resource boxes containing redirect links would be placed at the bottom of these articles and therefore direct your readers to their sites. That’s why it is important to have your own articles which you could use to link your site to other sites in a similar fashion.

    But, to truly feel the impact of what a good article can help you accomplish, it is best to get original ones. There are many article writers who do part time and freelance article writing jobs for which they charge only minimal fees. You can have good (if not great) articles written that contain all the keywords and keyword phrases you need to attract the people are looking for them.

    The investment you make for these articles would be worthwhile because you could use them to promote all the benefits you have to offer. You hold copyrights to them and you will be able to use them anyway you want. As your articles help you in building your business and your website, you will have more articles to write and maybe then you won’t be forced to entertain second thoughts about articles.

  • Making Your Amazon Affiliate Store Go Viral

    From failure to success

    If you’ve tried to make money with Amazon (or any affiliate marketing system for that matter) the part where most people fail is getting traffic to their affiliate sites, or the product pages of the merchants with which they are affiliated. However, this failure can easily be converted into success by utilizing the right tools.

    With that in mind it is important for affiliates to grasp the concept of viral traffic – the easiest, best and most targeted traffic any marketer can get – when done right. So if you’re an affiliate marketer this is certainly something you should keep in mind and learn how to utilize viral traffic in your marketing efforts.

    Viral traffic done right

    Let’s start by taking a closer look at viral traffic and how to get it done the right way. First and foremost, in order for something to go viral it needs to be comprised of the following:

    • Value
    • Share-ability
    • Congruency

    If you can give people something they’re interested in like a gift, report, video training, or a software tool that fixes their issue… whatever it is – and for them to fix that all they have to do is click a button? Well… that’s gold right there! But you’re problably already aware of this fact.

    However, what you may not already know is that ShopABot performs all these functions for you automatically, while building an email subscriber list AND rewards them for buying through your link… and even sharing your store and your affiliate links for you. When ShopABot has found your niche, working out what kind of gift to pair it up with is easy.

    Click of a button

    For example, if you click the button and it has found that Green Tea is the perfect niche for you, the rest is easy because all you have to do is give away any kind of item like a report or other similar gift that shows how to:

    • How to brew your tea for maximum flavor
    • 20 iced tea recipes
    • The x health benefits from Green Tea
    • Where to find top quality teas at bargain prices
    • Places around the globe for exquisite tea experiences

    In that report, you could even get a little more creative and include other related recommended resources. For example… they are buying green tea, maybe they also need a kettle, or some fancy teacups etc. And if you’re doing the traffic manually (instead of using ShopABot), it’s still a good idea to stick with social media; because of all the things you know about social media, and have heard about social media, the most powerful thing about is it’s like word of mouth, but on steroids!

    Click here to get a closer look at what many of today’s Web marketers consider to be one of the most powerful, effective and easy-to-use viral traffic software programs available on the Internet today.

    Sites of focus

    There are really three sites you should focus on in the beginning:

    1. Facebook – This is the goliath of social media. It’s important to get a fan page created for your website ASAP.
    2. Pinterest – There’s not many sites that can bring more traffic than Pinterest, especially if you use it correctly. Post often, post relevant content that is likely to be re-pinned a lot, and follow as many accounts relevant to your niche as you can.
    3. Instagram – You may have been expecting Twitter to be the third site, but I’ve actually found Instagram a lot more effective than Twitter. There are no “secrets” to Instagram, really. Just follow relevant users, like and comment on their content, and post great images on a regular basis with relevant hashtags. It’s easy.

    Get the ball rolling!

    Twitter is probably the next one you should focus on, followed by YouTube, and then others like Snapchat. But be careful to grow your social media at a natural rate, because if you follow too many people, make too many comments, create too many posts that might be construed as promotions (among other seemingly rapid activities) too quickly, you could get banned. That having been said, however, using the viral traffic system inbuilt in ShopABot, you can avoid any potential backlash because it’s your visitors who are sharing. You just get the ball rolling by giving away free stuff and you’ll see for yourself that the affiliate commissions will snowball from there!

  • Blend Email With Other Marketing Strategies!

    The concept

    Whether you choose to do your marketing online or offline one thing does not change: The concept that no single marketing strategy will be as effective as utilizing a blend of two or more marketing strategies. This does not mean that it is necessary to implement every known marketing strategy to promote your business; but rather, it implies that it’s worthwhile to market from a few different perspectives in order to help achieve business-related goals.

    In this article we will take a look at the viability, need and practicality of combining email marketing with other types of marketing to create a successful, multi-tiered marketing strategy and in addition, offer a few observations on managing more than one marketing strategy simultaneously in the hopes that they will prove useful to you in your Web marketing efforts.

    The adage

    There is an old adage which states that, “Two heads are better than one,” and this could certainly be applied to a multi-pronged approach to Web marketing; because although you may enjoy a great deal of success with your current email marketing efforts it does not mean you should refuse to try other types of Web marketing strategies such as, website creation, participation in industry-related message boards, placing banner ads on your website(s), orchestrating an affiliate marketing campaign and generating inbound links to .

    It is important to keep in mind that, while the possibility exists that not all of these strategies will be effective for your business, the liklihood that at least one other option which complements your email marketing will help you to achieve your business-related goals. But there is only one way to actually test the blend of marketing types, and that is to test each one in a methodical fashion simililar to the kind of “split testing” that proved to be so effective for many marketers a decade or so ago, and is still utilized by marketers to evaluate the effectiveness of their marketing strategies.

    The offline factor

    Alternately you even wish to combine your email marketing campaign with more traditional marketing strategies such as radio ads, television ads and the print media. Let’s face it, just because these types of advertising do not take place the Web does not mean they will be ineffective in helping you generate more business and profits.

    In fact advertising both online and offline can allow you to reach a larger audience to which you can target your advertising. This is especially true in view of the fact that you can reach Web users around the world, but reaching potential customers who do not utilize the Web for purchasing or researching products or services similar to the ones you offer can only be accomplished using offline marketing strategies.

    A powerful statement

    Popular marketing strategies to combine with email marketing include banner ads and message board participation, but these are all online activities and each one individually is fairly simple. However, in combination these simple activities can create a powerful statement, in the sense that when you send out emails offering useful information about your products or services, while simultaneously purchasing banner ad space on with content which may also be of interest to your potential customers, you can earn the respect and pique the interest of potential customers.

    Furthermore, let’s say you add a third marketing strategy like participation in industry-related message boards. When done right this could well be a powerful representation of your business, even if your potential customers are not currently in need of the products and services you offer; because seeing your business name so often will most likely have a branding effect that is credible and positive in their minds. And branding, which is essentially a process during which consumers see a company name so often that they are more likely to select a product from this company when they are in need of an item the company offers, will go a long way in boosting your reputation and customer base.

    The caveat emptor mindset

    Of course you must approach your experiment in blending marketing strategies with a “Caveat Emptor” mindset, because if you are planning to combine multiple forms of advertising, you should be aware that this might involve a degree of difficulty when evaluating the effectiveness of each marketing strategy.

    This difficulty is especially true when the marketing strategies are implemented simultaneously. When using only one type of marketing strategy, you can generally attribute increases in sales or traffic to changes in the marketing strategy. However, when more than one type of marketing strategy is in effect, determining which strategy is producing the most success can be quite difficult.

    Methodical work

    But remember, this experiment must be done in a careful and methodical manner. Meaning that the best way this situation can be handled is by not making changes to more than one marketing strategy at a time. By doing so you will be able to pinpoint which changes produce an increase in sales or traffic. The methodical approach can also help you to determine when changes to your marketing strategy have a detrimental effect on your sales and traffic. However, if you are having difficulty determining which marketing strategy is most effective you can consider asking customers to answer survey questions and provide information as to how they learned about the products or services your business offers.

    I recently viewed a video in which the presenter said, “there are two things you need to do in order to make money online. The first is to to promote and sell, and the second is to find an audience…” (a market) to sell that product (in this case product refers also to service) to. With that in mind the product can be your own which you developed and created yourself, or belonging to someone else, in which case you can get authorization from that person/vendor to promote and sell the product as an affiliate and get paid a percentage of the sale in the form of a commission.

    The first part of this equation – finding a product to sell – has been made exceedingly easy over the two decades since the introduction of digital products – created and made available – via the WWW (World Wide Web), so anyone looking for can take his/her pick from among the vast numbers available in the eCommerce marketplace. It is the second part of the equation and all the various aspects of finding an audience, as well as the inherent challenges that must be dealt with in pursuading – friendly, though it may be – that audience to buy a product from you.

    Traffic to your

    Of course it is understood in most marketing circles that the first step in finding an audience is getting exposure for your product, which is another way of saying attracting Internet users, also referred to as traffic to your website or product page

    In order to achieve this most basic of goals many Web marketers advertise their utilizing some of the more popular advertising resources such as Google AdWords, Facebook Ads, and Bing/Yahoo! Ads, while others utilize the more economical methods like Traffic Exchanges, Link Exchanges and Email Marketing Campaigns. A third category of website owner relies on their own SEO techniques and formatting directly on their sites to induce the search engines to place their site on the SERPs (search engine results pages) which they expect would gain the site maximum exposure.

    The conversion principle

    It is important to point out at this juncture that whether a owner succeeds in getting traffic that is costly, economical or free s/he must still convert that traffic into an audience that knows, trusts and likes who s/he is and what s/he represents (reputation and credibility) before that audience will buy a product s/he is promoting and selling. Therefore certain steps must be taken by the website owner in order to achieve this goal.

    This is where the importance of conversion rates comes into play, along with the steps needed to convert visitors into buyers, and the skill with which to adebtly initiate and execute the conversion process. It is only then that a website owne, Web marketer, product owner or any other entity attempting to promote and sell a product that s/he will be successful in doing so.

    The cold, hard cash factor

    In the Ebook, 110 Bite-Sized Tips to Boost Website Conversion Rates, the author states that, “A lot of factors are involved with ensuring that visitors click on, and then actually buy items they see. There are many things you can do to get the most conversion rates possible which means those website views and random clicks actually turn into cold, hard cash (otherwise known as sales).” It is in the manner of this approach that an affiliate marketer or product owner shoud view the traffic that s/he manages to attract to a website or product page.

    It is possible however, that many do not devote enough time and/or attention to this important aspect of selling products, while others simply ignore it altogether. If you are a member of either group today might just be your lucky day, because TPJaveton WebNet is giving away a free Bonus copy of the Ebook, 110 Bite-Sized Tips to Boost Website Conversion Rates, which will be a big help to you in your efforts to convert traffic into buying customers and money in your pockets.

  • The Role of Articles in Building Your List

    Comparative excellence

    What are you waiting for?

    Getting visitors to your site should always be ranked as high in importance as the quality of the products and services you provide. This objective should go hand in hand with providing your customers the satisfaction they get in exchange for the money they have paid for them. Customer service should be as superb as well so that customers are provided with the same satisfaction.

    One of the ways you can combine marketing and customer service is through opt-in marketing, and with an opt-in list you get the opportunity to introduce your site and products in an agreed-upon time frame. An opt-in marketing strategy is a marketing strategy that is actually low-cost and not time consuming, simply because you get the consent of your website visitors to subscribe to your emails, newsletters and other promotional materials such as catalogs and free promotions.

    Opt-in marketing is a process

    Since opt-in marketing is the process by which you send emails to your list of subscribers, these emails can include almost any content you wish to send to your subscribers as long as such content is in good taste, legal and useful to the subscribers. For this reason, it is therefore essential that you present your promotional items in a manner that will attract the interest of your subscribers to keep them wanting (craving?) for more; and the best way to do this is to provide fun, entertainment and informational – if not interesting – articles.

    Well written article content that consists of helpful tips and useful information will be crucial in building your list as increased numbers of your website visitors will be enticed to subscribe to your list. When they read the samples of your website content, they will be intrigued as to what will come next and subscribing to your newsletter is one way for them to get a glimpse of what you have to offer next.

    Placing importance

    It is a known fact that many sites and companies have come to accept and, indeed, place a high value on the importance of articles as they also help in improved search engine optimization; and as more people head to the internet for their information needs, serving the right information to them via articles via your website will increase the flow of your website traffic. And with more traffic, the percentage of your sales will grow, which in many cases can be converted into more profit.

    The rise in importance of well written, information-rich, keyword-packed articles for website content has certainly been noticed and encouraged by major search engines for over two decades, and this has led to a craving for quality content by all sectors of the Internet marketplace. Today, any content that can be described as interesting and/or compelling is placed very high on a website’s must-have list. This includes newsletters, ebooks, blog posts and any other article inclusive product; because these articles provide the information which are sought by many Internet users, and if your site has them, more people will visiting that site for information and research.

    Reputation & credibility

    It is also true that well-written articles would boost your sites reputation, and if they are filled with a lot of useful information you will be regarded as well-informed and an expert on the subjects you write about. Of course, your articles must be well researched so that Internet users who visit your website will trust you, and when you have gained their trust, they will always come to you for the information they need about the topic on which they view you as the expert.

    As a matter of course you must write articles or commission them to be written on subjects that are closely connected with your type of business. So if you have a site dealing with matters of medicine or offering remedies for a certain disease, your articles must be about that disease and its potential cures. On the other hand, if you sell materials for home improvement you must write and publish articles with those themes. Most articles searched for are tips, guidelines, methods, manuals and such, but if you provide relevant articles to your customers and you gain their trust, they will always go to your site for help and advice, as well as for your products.

    Loyalty

    With the loyalty of these customers, they may subscribe to your opt-in list to receive all the information you have; and if you provide them with the answers for their needs, they will be happy to be receiving your emails, newsletters and other promotional materials to keep them well informed. Others may even forward your emails to other people when they find a certain article interesting.

    You should provide links in your newsletter so that when other people read it and wish to read more, they can click on the link and go to your site. With the articles you’ve published to your site that are good, they may decide to sign up as well to your opt-in list. This will build your list and make it bigger, but make sure to keep your subscribers happy and interested in your newsletters and promotional materials.

    Keep on posting and writing good articles for your site and newsletter, and if you have no interest in writing them, or if you just don’t have the time, there are many available, well experienced and knowledgeable writers available to help you compose interesting and compelling articles on the topic of your choice. This is an investment that will pay for itself in time.

  • How Effective is Your Email Marketing?

    A question of effectiveness

    If you are a business owner who utilizes email marketing campaigns to promote your products or services and advertise your brand, the question of how effective your email marketing is might occupy a prominent place in your mind. In fact, questions regarding the effectiveness of any type of marketing effort should be entertained as frequently as deemed practical in order to ensure that such marketing efforts are producing desired results. Asking these questions on a regular basis and continually evaluating the effectiveness of email marketing campaigns will help to determine their effectiveness on an ongoing basis, especially in those instances when changes are made to the marketing strategy.

    In view of the above, this article will discuss the importance of frequently evaluating email marketing strategies, while also providing a few tips which we hope will be helpful to you in evaluating your email marketing strategy.

    First and foremost

    First and foremost, it is important to evaluate your email marketing strategy on a regular basis because failure to do so might very well result in a complete waste of your time, money and efforts; and although email marketing may be a cost effective way to advertise your business the activity doesn’t get done without input from you, the business owner/advertiser. There is still some time, money and energy involved in planning and executing email marketing campaigns. In other words, if an email marketing campaign is ineffective and nothing is done to attempt make more effective your business is wasting resources by continuing to invest in this type of marketing strategy when it is not generating profit for the business or even creating interest in your products or services.

    Second, and perhaps just as important, is the frequency with which a business owner or marketer evaluates the effectiveness of his/her email marketing strategy without setting goals before s/he begins the evaluation process. The importance of goal-setting is highlighted here because failure to do so might help to undermine the email marketing efforts of any business or marketer.

    This is due to the fact that without goals it can be difficult to determine whether or not such email marketing efforts are effective. If, for example, you set a goal to increase the number of sales you make per month, then it will be rather simple to determine the results based on the number of monthly sales generated and therefore just as simple to evaluate the effectiveness of that particular email marketing campaign.

    Deciding on method

    Once you have determined how you intend to evaluate you progress you should be able to easily determine the effectiveness of your current email marketing strategy as long as this is the only marketing you are currently doing. Of course, if you have more than one marketing strategy in use simultaneously you cannot be sure which strategy is driving customers to make purchases, or attract visitors to your website.




    When you decide to evaluate your email marketing strategy according to specific goals you should take care to ensure you are not currently running other types of marketing in conjunction with your email marketing campaign(s). This will help to prevent confusion about which type of marketing is producing the desired results. It will also help to prevent business owners from mistakenly believing email marketing is producing a positive results when, in fact, it is another marketing strategy that is actually generating all the positive sales and traffic activity.

    Customer surveys

    While on the subject of evaluating effectiveness, one strategy that comes to mind is the use of customer surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. Asking customers how they heard about your products or services have proven to be an excellent way to determine whether or not customers are making purchasing decisions based on one marketing strategy or another; so this strategy can also be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of your email marketing campaigns.

    Additionally, these surveys can be used to obtain more detailed information about email recipients’ reaction to a particular email marketing campaign. Customers can, and often does, provide valuable feedback about topics such as the layout and appearance of email and the ease and readability of content included in the email. This feedback and other customer-generated information can help a business owner determine how to design future emails designed to achieve the most positive results in a campaign. Armed with such information the business owner can design subsequent emails that might incorporate many of the qualities previous customers found to be useful, and avoid qualities that were viewed to be useless.
