Tap Into The Hidden Potential Of Internet Marketing

By Patton Lydia


When you think of internet marketing, do you see it as one more thing you must work at, in order to promote your business? If so, then you have a narrow view of the subject. It is so much more than that and it can be personalized so that it works for you. Read on to find out how.

Try to make a subtle, non-flashy website. You only have 5 seconds to get a visitors attention. Any longer, and they are bound to move on.

To best market your website, hire a quality SEO designer. These professionals can set up your website so that when relevant keywords are typed into a search engine your company is found. A novice SEO writer can run into many pitfalls, so having a professional on your side is important.

Hire professionals to work on your website. This may seem like an unnecessary expense, but think about your own surfing habits: don't you prefer professionally done sites? A professional site helps you appear professional and instantly gains trust from prospective customers and clients. Not only that, but professionals ensure that your site is functional, something that might take you a lot of time to do.

Create a blog that is directly linked with your website. This increases awareness of your brand, and is a separate, creative avenue to link to content on your site. A blog with your company's name means you automatically have a second search result that relates to your business. Finally, you can join a professional blog community and contribute intelligent comments to other sites, which increases web exposure to your links across the web.

Make it easy to buy from your website. Mark all prices clearly, and specify shipping options and charges up front so the customer does not have to wonder. Show all items and charges on the final page before the customer clicks to confirm. And after the order is accepted, give a confirmation number and an estimated date for them to receive their merchandise.

Broken links will turn off visitors, especially multiple broken links. The web keeps changing and moving and unfortunately this means that links break. If a customer keeps running into broken links on your site, they will stop trying to click on them. Make sure to test out your links often to confirm that they are still working.

One of the most appealing aspects of your personality that you can instill in your site is humor. Make sure that you keep things business professional, but including a joke here and there will never hurt. Inserting humor into your communication with customers makes for a very light and fun level of dialogue.

Use local business directories. Many online business directories will provide free listings. Get your business listed on as many as possible to attract more visitors to your site. Search for the directories that offer free listings, since there is no need to pay for something that you can get for free.

Design localized content that relates to your readers on a regional level. Marketing online means you are no longer confined to advertising in a specific neighborhood, but people still appreciate information that they feel is tailored to them. Research details about an area's needs and then show how your product will help that community.

Using a double opt-in method for your email marketing lists ensures that you are reaching those customers who are truly interested in your produt. While a double opt-in procedure seems like a barrier to creating a marketing list, it does mean that everyone on your list was willing to follow at least one link back to your site.

  1. Just received a check for $500.

    Sometimes people don't believe me when I tell them about how much you can make filling out paid surveys online...

    So I show them a video of myself getting paid over $500 for taking paid surveys to set the record straight once and for all.
