Business Blogging engage your Customers

Business blogging is now seen as the best way forward to connect with your customers on a regular basis. At one time designing a website was the way to go to showcase your services and goods, but not any more. Business blogging is definitely the smart way to build customer relationships.

What do blogs have that websites don't? Well, for a start a blog is a website, but it's designed in a different way to connect through Really Simple Syndication or RSS to the search engines and anyone who wishes to receive updates regularly - one thing a traditional website doesn't do.

But more importantly, a business blog allows you to build relationships with your customers by allowing your personality to shine through. No-one likes the gimmicky sales pitches, they are becoming a thing of the past. What we want now is a 'connection' with the people who are selling us services and products.

When you write a blog for your business, it's important you share some of your personality with your readers. You don't have to go into the personal side of your life, however, if you want to make strong connections it's important for you to share your story, for example:

Why did you start this blog?

Why should people buy from YOU and not someone else?

What are your experiences of using the products or services?

Why are you promoting these particular products or services?

In your opinion, what are the benefits of using them?

You may have heard of the old saying in marketing 'People buy from people'. This is absolutely true, but remember, when you are selling online your customers or the 'people' in the marketing saying can't see you in person. This is why it is so important to build your business blog in a way that you connect with your readers and build strong relationships using your personality.

And now I invite you to join me for my free weekly teleclasses, where I help small business owners to start an online business using blogs and info products. Get started today by checking out my tips and advice on http://www.StartAnInternetBusinessBlog.com and sign up for my free teleclasses.

Business Week Reports Holiday price Wars

BusinessWeek Reports the Beginning of Holiday Price Wars

By editor | November 11, 2008

“I have never seen any environment like this. The fight is on … They are all scared.”

According to BusinessWeek, retail price wars have begun and they are brutal. Retailers are seeing same store sales decline in double digit numbers at the most important time of year and they don’t know what to do except mark it down.

Sales planning has gone to the wind and retailers are doing whatever they can to salvage the season. The article quotes one retail spokeswoman as saying that their approach will be to take better care of customers rather than “throwing money to marketing activities.”

However, now more than ever is the time to practice innovative retail marketing. Traditional techniques may not yield the necessary impact but stores in crisis need to do something dramatic to drive in customers. Marketers need to take a huge breath and stop flailing around just long enough to come up with a better plan than “how low can you go” otherwise we’ll all find ourselves in bigger trouble after the dust settles.

By editor |

The New York Times this morning reported on the weekend’s sales results from every possible statistical angle. It was a tale of two economies, the overall economy holding and the retail economy holding on for dear life.

A quick highlight of the weekend stats:

• Shoppers spent 7 percent more this year than last
• Sales increased 3 percent compared with last year
• Foot traffic was up almost 2 percent (although a separate report said that foot traffic was down 11 percent)

Despite these seemingly encouraging statistics, many retailers did not report their weekend sales as usual and will instead roll them in with the monthly reports. J.C. Penny went so far as to say that, “in light of the challenging and volatile economic climate, and shifts in this year’s retail calendar, we don’t believe that reporting sales data for any one day (or weekend), including Black Friday, would provide a meaningful barometer of our business.” Interesting.

Unfortunately, Black Friday may not have changed the color of retail financials because the discounts, savings and sales cut so deep that the moderate increases reported haven’t changed anything. You heard it here first. We warned just a couple of weeks ago that retailers should be careful of using lower prices rather than innovative marketing to lure shoppers (BusinessWeek Reports the Beginning of Holiday Price Wars). Now that they’ve done it for Black Friday, shoppers expect even greater price decreases leading up to the holiday and plan on holding their collective breath until they get it. This marketing tactic in this climate may be the ultimate bridge to nowhere.

7 steps to marketing your Online or Offline Business using email lists

Effective marketing online or offline is all about collecting names and email addresses from prospects and customers.

1. You must make collecting the email addresses of your customers a system.

2. Email is the best way to stay in touch with your customers.

3. If you create a list, your email promotions to your list are now free.

4. You build your email list by offering something free like a free report if online or by just adding email address ____________ to your sales form for offline, also a simple offline contest works well even if it’s to win a free pizza.

5. You then follow-up with soft selling emails, always giving useful information and promoting your sale or special offer.

6. The key to success for your local business is to give people a reason to come in now. You can do this by offering a limited time Sales Event or limited time specials. I like VIP customer specials for existing customers in which they need to bring a copy of the email in, it makes them feel special.

7. These principles apply to all types of marketing online and offline and it’s all in the list, scheduled communication and helpful information will make your emails welcomed by the customer and they will want to open them.

This process can be automated or can be done by hand depending on the size of your list and the volume of business you are doing. Most online merchants will use an automated system, most offline merchants will start out by hand.

How to Actually Rank For Any Keyword With a Legitimate Search Engine "Loophole"...

I usually don't pass these type of things on but this actually works.

Everyone wants to have their site rank well in Google.

And why not? Not only can Google send you a boatload of free traffic - it's also highly targeted, and it's one of the best ways to drive business.

The problem is, that exact same ideal is shared with thousands of your direct competitors. This creates an environment where you'll always be fighting, kicking and scratching to maintain your traffic - along with the ever present fear that your livelihood is only one "algorithm update" away from vanishing.

And that's if you can even get ranked for any Major Broad keyword without pay per click, to begin with...

In fact, only the largest, most-established authority sites can reliably see consistent traffic from Google. And even then, their rankings fluctuate constantly - several times a day, in some cases.

Your Local Business will come up on top in longtail keywords on Google which is great but

The fact is - it's getting harder and harder for the "little guy" to get any kind of meaningful web presence on the web these days.

Getting ranked in Google is almost impossible unless you've got a major promotional budget and some time on your hands to "wait" for your domain to become trusted (Google favors older domains). And advertising with pay-per-click ads isn't affordable like it once was.

Search marketing(Nationally) has finally become what everyone feared it would - a game reserved for big business.

But what if there was still a way to legitimately rank for keywords with tons of traffic?

And what if you could do this without having to spend months and even years building up an authority site to do so?

In fact - what if you could systematically create one-page minisites that could rapidly rank in the top 3 spots (consistently) for basically any keyword you target within a matter of a week or so?

Is this for real?

YES.

But not with Google.

It's happening right now, as we speak, on MSN.com

Now - before you think it - yes, I know, MSN doesn't have nearly the reach that Google does. But, it still does receive millions and millions of search users daily. After all - MSN is the default home-page for anyone who first uses Internet Explorer.

And, to put it in perspective, which would drive more traffic?

Occupying the #1 ranking for your most desirable keyword target on MSN?

Or occupying the #47 spot on page 5 of Google's results?

Sadly, it's actually more effort to make it to the 47th spot in Google than it is to literally dominate in MSN.

How does this work?

Watch this video to find out:

Like I said - forget about Google for Broad Keywords.

Focus on something that you can actually WIN with, and win big!

The Selling Secrets of Great Sales Letters

THE SELLING SECRETS OF MILLION DOLLAR SALES LETTERS

Regardless of what you're trying to sell, you really can't sell it without "talking" with your prospective buyer. And in attempting to sell anything by mail, the sales letter you send out is when and how you talk to your prospect.

All winning sales letters "talk" to the prospect by creating an image in the mind of the reader. They "set the scene" by appealing to a desire or need; and then they flow smoothly into the "visionary" part of the sales pitch by describing in detail how wonderful life will be and, how "good" the prospect is going to feel after he's purchased your product. This is the "body" or "guts" of a sales letter.

Overall, a winning sales letter follows a time-tested and proven formula:

(1) Get his attention,

(2) Get him interested in what you can do for him,

(3) Make him desire the benefits of your product so badly that his mouth begins to water, and

(4) Demand action from him - tell him to send for whatever it is you're selling without delay - any procrastination on his part might cause him to lose out. This is called the "AIDA" formula, and it works.

Sales letters that pull in the most sales are almost always two pages. For the larger priced items, they'll run to at least four pages.

Regardless of the length of your sales letter, it should do one thing, and that's sell, and sell hard! If you intend to close the sale, you've got to do it with your sales letter. You should never be "wishy washy" with your sales letter and expect to close the sale with a color brochure or circular. You do the actual selling and the closing of the sale with your sales letter - any brochure or circular you send along with it will just reinforce what you say in the sales letter.

There's been a great deal of discussion in the past few years regarding just how long a sales letter should be. A lot of people are asking: Will people really take the time to read a long sales letter. The answer is a simple YES. Surveys and tests over the years emphatically prove that longer sales letters pull better than the shorter ones, so don't worry about the length of your sales letter - just make sure that it sells your product for you! The "inside secret" is to make your sales letter so interesting, and "visionary" with the benefits you're offering to the reader, that he can't resist reading it all the way through. You break up the "work" of reading by using short, punchy sentences, underlining important points you're trying to make, with the use of subheadlines, indentations and even the use of another color.

Above all else, you've got to include some sort of ordering method. For online sales, I recommend Paypal, whether you are selling on ebay or on your own website. If by mail order, the order coupon has to be as simple and as easy for the prospect to fill out and return to you as you can possibly make it. Keep the ordering process simple, and you'll find your prospects responding with glee.

For mail orders, should you or shouldn't you include a self addressed envelope? There are a lot of variables as well as pro's and con's to this question, but overall, when you send out a "winning" sales letter to a good quality mailing list, a return envelope will increase your response greatly. On the other hand, pre-stamping is not relevant according to mail order tests which have been performed.

My recommendation is that you experiment - try it both ways - with different mailings, and decide for yourself from there.

How to use Local Newspapers to increase Internet Ratings

Newspapers work very well in most markets, but I've found using classifieds that promote my landing page and automatic 1800 number with a prerecorded 24 hour message has out performed traditional display advertising. the best part of these cheap little ads is if worded right they can get you on the first page of Google under local search terms such as Pool Tables Smithtown, hot tubs Syracuse or Pools Flemington NJ, you get the point. Display ads can also work very well, on July 17 I ran a saturday display ad in a major Newspaper in my area and within one day I was one page 1 of Google and yahoo organically, and 3 weeks later I'm still there. I'm not talking about broad based national keywords but for local searches you can't beat it. I spent $1200 on the ad, sold 4 products with an average retail of $6200 each and made a gross profit of $5600, so I made my money back, made a profit and still have people calling and buying off the internet listing for that particular ad.
Good marketing,

Google ad words for Local or National Busineses

Ad words is the quickest and easiest way to get exposure for your product on the internet today. When preparing an Ad words campaign make sure your content matches the keywords you are going after. The better your content the lower the price you'll pay for pay per click. Be careful, start out with a small budget and a low keyword bid. Test your campaign by watching your Ad Word placement and costs. Then inch up your key word bids by 5 cents at a time, and keep improving your content until you find the balance between your Ad word placement and your costs. Don't go crazy with your campaign, test, test, test, your ads, bids, content etc. or you'll run out of money before you see a dime in return.
Have a great Holiday,

re print from post August 22

Yesterday 5 prospects came into our Retail Store looking for our Larger Items (of course we had many customers just buying supplies and accessories)But we make our Money selling Big Ticket Items. it costs us $22 to drive these 5 educated consumers into the store. Out of the 5 we sold 2 hot tubs and one backyard shed, totaling $12,234, pretty amazing for a layout of $22. As I've said in the past Google is a great tool but you have to be careful or you'll burn up your credit card and be freaking out! One of the best tools I've found to keep my budget under control is Key Word Elite it allows me to automatically choose what key words work and takes almost no time at all. You can get some free info by just clicking the Key Word Elite link above. When you are using Ad Words or other sites make sure you pay close attention to your Keywords and use those selected words in your copy, you are not looking for the most clicks, you are looking for targeted clicks from serious buyers in their research stage, this is your greatest opportunity to educate them, if you're a local or specialized Business include your phone number in your Google ad and set a small budget, make sure if you're a local business you optimize your Website.

Blogging Become a Local Expert

Blogging Drives traffic to your website

Many bloggers find it difficult to blog regularly. On the other hand, other bloggers find it easy to blog everyday. Blogging is an effective way to get your local Business noticed.

As you are aware, for your blogging to be effective, you will need to add fresh content to your blog on a regular basis. This article presents five tips that you can use to make blogging easy.

1. Write your blog content in advance and save it so that it’s ready to be posted everyday. When you have time to write, try to write enough blog content that will be enough for several days or for the whole week. You can write and save your blog posts on your blog, and all you have to do is to publish the posts everyday. This means that on those days when you do not have the time to write, you can still post fresh content on your blog using the blog posts you would have saved.
2. Blog about a wide range of things that relate to your niche. Think about any information relating to your niche which your website visitors will be interested in seeing on your blog. Identify the sub-niches in your niche and write about those as well. You should never run out of ideas on what to blog about.
3. Invite your blog visitors to leave some comments relating to your posts and your niche. This is an easy way of getting unique content on your website. The more interaction you allow on your blog, the more content you will have on your blog.
4. Research and look for the key questions and issues that people in your niche are interested in, and provide information that addresses those questions on your blog. Look in the relevant forums for the hot topics that people are asking, and provide answers to these questions on your blog. This will make your blog useful to your visitors because it will have information which your visitors are looking for. This gives you a wide range of topics that you can blog about.
5. Use PLR content, customize it and make it unique and break it into blog posts. It is essential that you make the PLR content very unique otherwise you will be penalized for duplicate content. Using PLR content as a starting point for your blog posts means that you will be able to create blog content easily and quickly.

Use these five tips outlined above to make blogging easy. The more you blog, the more traffic you drive to your website. Monday I'll provide Links to PLR sites where you can find articles you can use to promote your Business.

Free Tips for generating Traffic to your website

Essential Tips For Generating Traffic To Your Website For Free
Promoting your website does not need to cost you a lot of money. There are various ways through which you can drive traffic to your website for free.
If you have no money or if you have a small budget for driving traffic to your website, you can use tips outlined in this articles to generate traffic to your website for free.

Exchanging links with other webmasters is a powerful way of generating traffic to your website for free. All you have to do is to identify webmasters with websites that complement your website and exchange website links with them. This means that traffic can be driven to your website through the websites where you have your link.

• Arrange a joint venture with other webmasters and list owners so that they can advertise your website to their list. This does not cost you anything and all you need to do is to contact some list owners and present your request. By doing this, your website can be advertised to a huge list of people which will drive traffic to your site.
• Write articles or free reports for other webmasters to publish and put your website address in the author’s resource or biography. If your reports and articles are of good quality, your articles will be published and many readers who will read your article will also visit your website.
• Include your website address in your business email signature. Anyone you communicate with can potentially be your prospect, so you can therefore be promoting your website every time you send an email.
• Create RSS feeds for your site and submit the feed URLs to the major RSS feed directories online. This will generate traffic to your website.
• Have a blog to your site and ping your website on a regular basis when you add new content. When you ping your blog, you make search engines robots index your website, which ultimately drives traffic to your website.

Local Marketing for Pennies a day

Online Marketing for local businesses works no matter what type of business you are in. Google Ad words works extremely well, but is very expensive. I have been working campaigns over the past seven months and have been able to cut my cost per click to 1/6th the price my nearest competitor is paying. This means I get in front of 6 customers for every one he does. This system I've developed works and it is easily done if your willing to spend a little time (15 minutes) each morning tweaking it. I have also figured out how to maximize my Website, this has put me on page one in most search engines for local keywords and it doesn't cost me a dime, most of the time it only takes about a week to get on page one, it's pretty amazing. In this economy local businesses need to get as much exposure as possible while spending the least amount of money as possible. If you would like to learn more about my system shoot me an email at bigticketpromos@gmail.com I will be launching this report titled Local Marketing for pennies per day, in two weeks, I'll be selling it online for $49.00, but if you send me an email saying reserve me a copy I'll send out the first 100 copies at $20.00 (please don't send any credit card information I'll contact you when the system is ready for download, this is just a pre registration an you have no obligation to purchase when it's ready if you change your mind) These emails go directly to me, I don't use auto responders and all those Marketing tricks you've seen before and I don't believe in spam. I'm just a local business owner like you and I answer all my emails directly. On top of that, the first 100 copies will come with a report and a step by step blueprint on how to use a simple blog to create even more traffic to your business and how you can even make some money from your blog and it's Free. Remember you don't even need a website to make this system pay off big I'll show you everything, you can be up and running within half an hour without a website and with no advertising expenses.

Google adwords for Local Busineses

Make your adword campaign a killer

Tired of spending tons of money on Adwords?
Tired of small or no Clickbank Checks?
Trying to market your Online or Offline Business on ad words and not seeing results or seeing results accompanied by huge pay per click Bills?

I have spent the last nine months working adwords to death for my local brick an mortar business and as an affililiate marketer for companies that in my opinion had substantial products that where worth paying for. Here's the scoop in a nutshell, after spending over $12000 per month in the Newspaper, radio and those so called direct mail shoppers, I started using adwords and a simple landing page. My page had no pictures, just text and a great offer to come down to my store and get the best deal around. I started by paying $3.50 per click since my Market is $5000 to $15000 Retail and the good keywords are expensive to bid on. Since using the techniques in Google Massacre I have lowered my cost per click to .71 cents and have sold over $700,000 at retail, my store has only been open for six months using Google Massacre has made all the difference. While everyone I speak to in my Industry is down by 40% to 50% I have an endless stream of customers coming in with a printed copy of my landing Page and a closing ratio of 95%, even my counter person who is 17 years old has no problem selling my expensive Leisure Products. Google Massacre has changed my way of advertising my business and has made my startup business profitable in less than six months, and I have the overhead of a 10,000 square foot Store, employees, vehicles, insurance, and all the additional costs of a Big Ticket retail operation. I've tried every product under the sun and Google Massacre has been the driving force in my success. Last Month my partner and I started selling our products on the web and we have already made a profit! if your seeking the way to make google adwords work for your online or offline business, google massacre is the tool you need. This is not a pie in the sky get rich scheme it's the information you need to become successful and keep your Marketing Budget low and your Return On Investment High. Making money in any Business local or National is why we are all in business in the first place. My credentials are simple, I have been in the Retail business for over 10 years in different Businesses, I've been a media buyer, a Marketing consultant, a sales person for major companies and have a $3,000,000 plus MBA from the school of hard Knocks. If there is an advertising medium out there I have tried it, tested it and received decent results but google alone has out performed most of my efforts and once I used the techniques in Google Massacre
my sales are soaring, my profit Margin is higher, my Marketing Budget has been cut by 85% while people just keep coming in and spending. Our online marketing project has simply amazed me! So if you are like me you owe it to yourself, your business and your family to check out Google massacre.

PS I didn't know much about Adword Marketing when I started, I was a complete believer in large newspaper ads and expensive Radio campaigns to drive buyers to my store, boy was I wrong! this is an avenue that anyone running or starting a business needs to look into, it's all up to you. By the way I was extremely skeptical so I signed up for the free info at first and just kept reading the free info for a while. Knowing what I know now I wish I started sooner, education is key and this type of info can only be gotten from people who have put up their money and tested and re tested their Programs. Adword optimization works.
