This ad hoc approach is a recipe for disaster. Would you get in a car and just start driving without knowing where you are going. Of course not!
So how do you expect your business to grow without an effective marketing maintenance plan.
Here's a simple plan to keep you on track.
DAILY TASKS
Answer email
This should be a priority. People expect a response at least within 24 hours. Gen Y mailers expect an answer in under 4 hours! Your quick response shows you are prompt and efficient and it helps build trust with the sender.
Post in Forums
Get involved in discussion groups or forums for your particular business. You can Google your industry + forum and get an extensive list to start joining and posting to. One of the best directories for forums is http://www.big-boards.com
Make sure you post intelligent, value feedback or posts and do not blatantly promote your business. A lot of administrators will boot you out for mass advertising in their forums. Give before you want should be your motto.
Social Networking
Make sure you update, add to your Facebook, MySpace and Twitter accounts daily. Fresh content helps you rank better. if you want to drive massive traiffic to these sites contact me for more information.
WEEKLY TASKS
Write An Article
Write an article and submit it article publishers weekly. Make the content of value and close with a signature file that promotes you and your business. Ezine Articles is the best article publisher but Go Articles is also a great source. If you want to mass blast your articles to many directories I use www.isnare.com
PPC Campaign
Run a good PPC campaign on Google Adwords or Yahoo Search Marketing. You can get cheaper pay per clicks on Miva but the big boys have the market cornered.
Craigslist
Place your free ads on Craigslist. Stick to the US where this company works best
MONTHLY TASKS
Submit Your Site
Do this at least to five new search engines on a monthly basis. There's plenty of free url submission services for you to use.
Promote Your Company Events
Keep promoting your company events to your members so as to keep the fire burning.
QUARTERLY TASKS
Joint Venture
Seek out a joint venture partner to help build your business while helping him/her promote theirs. This cross marketing approach is very cost effective and can explode your business if you have the right partners.
Have A Rest
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Be sure to give yourself some well deserved breaks. The 4 day weekend is a great bonus.
I hope these tips will move your business to new heights. It has for me. It'll work for you.
Online Business Marketing Plan
Sometimes your job just seems like it is not enough at all and you simply cannot make ends meet in your financial situation. So, you are looking for some ways that you can try out in order to make a little bit of extra money that will boost your income and your lifestyle so that you do not have to worry about money problems anymore in your day to day life. You know that the internet is definitely a really good place to start looking for opportunities because there are so many different resources and tools that you can use in order to do almost anything you want and in a way that helps you help yourself in that you can gain experience and knowledge of how the internet works. However, it can always be really scary to start something new no matter what it was. You know that everything requires practice to become a master at it like riding a bike, learning to drive a car, or becoming skilled on a musical instrument. All of these things take time, practice, effort, work, and a guide that will help you to pace yourself and understand everything and the basic conventions of what you are trying to do.
So you know that there are a lot of opportunities and ideas for you out there for you in the world of cyber space and you also know that you need some help learning how to navigate in this new world so that you can really make the kind of money that you want. Well the good news is that I know of a couple tricks that will help you start getting checks that have amounts you will begin to love and goals that you will shatter as you learn more and more about online marketing. The first thing (which you probably know about) is that you should associate yourself with some affiliate sites so that you can start to gain not only a reputation on the internet but also some experience in advertising and marketing through other people's products and methods. The Pro2 system is something that you should really look into in order to give you some insight into affiliate marketing because it is a program that offers you professional information and advice and a guiding hand through a step by step process that will teach you how to work affiliate sites to your best advantage. The trick is to set lower goals for yourself at the beginning so that you can spend a lot of time learning how to do everything as opposed to obsessing about making it all perfect so that you can reach some outrageous goal that you have set for yourself.
Have you ever heard of online malls? Well, the Pro2 system works closely with a particular affiliate site called ClickBank which is a cyber mall that has all the products you could ever imagine. You can look through here and start getting ideas of what products you are good at promoting and how you would like to promote them and your own sales.
