Thinking About Marketing Online? Read These Tips First!

By William Gibson


If you're just starting at internet marketing, or if you're already an old pro, there is always something new to learn to better your business and increase your profits. Here are some time-tested tips and tricks that will help you build your company into the massive empire you dream of!

Utilizing internet forums is one of the best ways to increase the public view of your company. Find some forums that are frequented by your target audience to ensure that the right people are viewing posts regarding your company. Many forum owners also sell advertising space, which is another great way to receive exposure.

One way to optimize your site for a specific keyword is to use a tag around your keyword, which will bold the word, the first few times it appears. This both draws the reader's eye to the word and tells the search engine spiders that your site thinks that word is important. However, don't abuse this or your site will end up looking like spam.

Build relationships with the media covering your industry. Both web and print journalists are always looking for interviewees and new story angles. You want to be top of mind when those moments happen. Just a simple quote in an online article can have a ripple effect on your site traffic.

Take advantage of free online local business directories, such as Google Local Business Center, Yahoo! Local, Local.com, SuperPages, YellowPages.com, InfoUSA, Localeze and Yelp. Listing your business in these directories will not cost you any money and you should see a boost in your website visitors. The visitors referred to your website from these sources, are also likely to be interested in your product or service, so conversion should be easy.

Never use exit pop-ups in your internet marketing set-up. These are specialized routines that stop visitors from navigating away from your site, asking them to confirm that they want leave. These high-pressure tactics sway no one. It does hurt when visitors leave your site, but giving them a pop-up on their way out, makes it significantly less likely that they will ever return.

It is a great idea to try and upsell with people that are already purchasing from your site. There should be some suggestions for other products that they may be interested in directly on the order page. Many people buy extra things when they believe it will enhance what they are already buying.

When it comes to Internet marketing, it is best to avoid overt sales talk. One of the quickest ways to drive your visitors away is by coming across as a pushy salesman. Instead, provide valuable information to your visitors that allows them to decide to buy on their own terms. For example, a high quality review of a product that outlines the pros and cons will allow someone to decide to purchase it on their own without feeling pressured.

If you find that your business is saddled down by last season's merchandise or products that just aren't moving, consider sending out an e-mail to your best customers inviting them to submit offers for how much they would be willing to pay. Any reasonable offer that doesn't lead to a loss should be considered. You might also consider bundling the merchandise with a similar product and selling it at a bargain price. Be sure to clearly state the terms of the offer in your marketing materials.

In the end, all the tips and tricks in the world won't help unless you have the drive to succeed. The mere fact that you're reading this article to the end leads me to believe you're dedicated to your business, and that will help you build it and have all the success in the world!
