Key To Business Success

View:

All I wanted to do figure out how to make a decent income from my computer, so that I could spend some time trying to figure out what it was that I really wanted to do in life.

One of these late-night gurus was pretty compelling. He was advocating a program about how to use direct marketing so that you could "Get Rich In Your Underwear," or something like that. So, I ordered it.

Despite the cheaply printed paper and the poor grammar, I actually found a lot of value in what that program had to say. Much of it was written prior to the internet, which was interesting because it took a little imagination to figure out how to apply old principles to new business opportunities. That's when it hit me:

-The key to success in an e-commerce world is to use old principles of salesmanship combined with the new advantages of the web!

How many times have you decided not to follow up on a website because there was no phone number to call for follow up information?

How many times have you been beaten down by pop-up and pop-under advertising while trying to escape a web page?

Direct Sales has to do with making your prospects come to you, so that you get the HOT leads that are ready for what you have to sell them. The internet is the place to publish and syndicate your own intellectual properties. Truly, this is the greatest possible combination.

First of all, you need to have a solid product. This is easier than ever before thanks to the internet. In a future article, I will discuss at length just how to put together a great product to cater to a special niche of people that you know very well. For now, start by spending some time taking inventory of yourself. What do you do well? What do you know how to do better than anyone else? Everyone's an expert on something, and you'd be amazed at just how much you really do know once you begin to become aware of yourself.

One of the primary principles of Direct Sales is to put together small, well-placed advertisements in order to gain an immediate foot-in-the-door with prospective clients. There are many important things about this statement...many of which need to be repeated. Small means small. There is no need to write an entire essay. If you want a good example of what I'm talking about, just do a few Google searches and see which pay-per-click ads stand out to you. Why?

Next, they must be well-placed. This cannot be overstated. How many books are there right now that talk about using Google AdWords and AdSense? Enough to make life really expensive for those who are late coming to the party.

In my next article, I will be discussing just how to use tried-and-true methods to create your own successful online organization, how to locate and place well written ads, and how to turn your computer into a virtual ATM.

Key To Business Success

There are numerous tactics that online marketers use to promote their business on the web. Yet, there is ONE KEY that all online marketers know they need to apply in all of their efforts. What is that key? KEYwords is the answer. Keywords are key to almost everything you can think of on the internet. If you are into or looking into online internet marketing and a home based business online, you should know from the start that keywords will in many ways dominate your thinking.

Their Importance

Why are keywords so important? It has everything to do with the search engines. All online businesses desire to rank well with the search engines. It doesn't just happen for those that do. They are keenly locked into the use of their keywords. We all use Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines from time to time to find something specific on the web. There are literally billions of searches each day and we use certain words to find what we are looking for. Those are the words online business owners are trying to use as part of their website.

The keywords that you use on your website will be the keywords that those performing online searches are using to find what you might have. Ultimately, your keyword use and placement is directly linked to your search engine success. Therein lies the reason why keywords are so key in the grand scheme of things.

Your Plan

When setting up your website, it's important to have a plan for the use of your keywords. First off, have a strong understanding of the keywords that are directly related to your website. For example, a website that reviews electronic game systems like Playstation 3 would greatly benefit from keywords like "video games", "playstation", and "ps3". Once you have developed your list of the most obvious keywords for your site, you should then run those keywords through a keyword tool(google search keyword tool) to find out what words or phrases that online searchers have been using most often related to your keywords. This will help you expand your list of keywords and phrases that you'll want to incorporate into your site. Don't forget to come up with synonyms of your keywords and go through the same exercise. This strategy should help you develop a list of as least 100 keywords for your website as you plan it's development or growth.

Search Engine Optimization

AS part of your plan, the placement of your keywords on your site is extremely important where they will attract the interest of the search engines. This process is known as Search Engine Optimization or SEO. At it's simplest, SEO means getting your important keywords into your titles and sub-titles of your web pages and making sure those words are also sprinkled throughout the text of each page. This may sound easy enough, but the truth is it is a very difficult thing to master. The basics are easy to learn and the wise online business owner will study and learn the basics of search engine optimization.
