The Marketing Bootcamp - Free Online Workshop

Sanjay Dalal, Chief Marketer of Semdia, invites you to a must-attend online FREE Marketing Workshop to answer this question: "How Can I Double My Business At My Website?" Did you know that more than 50% of your website visitors simply go away (bounce) without doing anything? Of the other 50% that do stay on your website, 45% don't buy or download. This means, more than 95% of your website visitors do not convert to customers. Learn More...



Further, Do you know how your customers find your website? Do you know all the possible ways your customers enter and exit your website (and it may not be from the home page)? You may be surprised when you find out how long your customers are staying at your website (or NOT). But the big questions you may have in current economy are:

1. Are my customers buying at my website? And how many are not buying?
2. Are my customers downloading something like a white paper, article or press release at my website?
3. Are my customers signing up to become a member, attend an event or talk to sales at my website?
4. Are my customers reading what I am posting at my website?
5. Are my customers "bouncing" right back to where they came from and I did not even know that?

Here are my questions for you:
1. What are you doing to hold your customer's attention at your website? (Is your website engaging?)
2. What are you doing to convert website visitors to customers?
3. Are you aware of all the places your customers go (on your website, and outside your website)?
4. What is your social networking media marketing strategy? Are you on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Linkedin, Plaxo, Blogger, YouTube, and more?
5. And finally, what do you do to make sure your customers find you first, before they find your competition? (Are you on first page of Search engine results?)

If you are not seeing REAL results from your online advertisements or marketing campaigns, it may have a lot to do with what happens to your customers after they click on that online ad and go to your website.

Get ready to learn everything about how your customers find you on the Internet, how they engage with you on your website, how they decide to convert from plain visitors to customers at your website in this innovative Marketing Bootcamp.

Our online marketing bootcamp is scheduled on June 12, 2009 from 9 am to 11 am PST. This online event is completely FREE.

Why I should attend?
1. I want to learn more about what my customers are doing on the Internet and on my website.
2. I want to sign up more customers on the Internet and at my website.
3. I do not want my customers running away to my competitor's website.

FREE Online Training Series

Maybe you’re like many of the people I know.
You’re just waiting to hear the dreaded words that
you’re being laid off. And if this thought hasn’t
crossed your mind, you’re either one of the lucky
ones, or you are just plain ignorant.

Don’t be fooled! It’s a tough market right now, long
standing businesses are closing their doors, people
are losing their jobs, families are struggling to make
ends meet.

As a result, smart people are searching for something
they can do online, in their own time, in their own
space, with no one peering over their shoulder to
make sure those keys are ‘atapping’. ;oP

If you’ve ever thought about selling physical products
online, my friend, Chris Malta & WorldwideBrands,
has the answer for you.

And it’s f.r.e.e.

Learn about dropshipping the right way.
http://www.importexporthelp.com/recommends/dropship-focus.htm


Chris is the Founder and CEO of WorldwideBrands.
He and his company have been in the business of teaching
how to start selling physical products online. He teaches
about dropshipping, wholesalers and a WHOLE lot more.

Over the years Chris found that so many people were going
about setting up their dropship relationships all wrong.
He was just telling me how he hears from tired, frustrated
people who just need a break.

Some of the people he hears from have been caught
by the guy in the middle, acting as a wholesaler,
trying to catch a quick buck from an unsuspecting
person who is just wants to make an honest living online.

Chris’s frustration must have rubbed off on me because
frankly, I’M TIRED OF IT!

Like Chris, I’m tired of people being lied to. I’m tired of
hearing of dirt bags who are stealing from people who
are just trying to get by, and I’m tired of the scum of the
Earth who can sleep at night with this on their conscience.

“So, what can I do about it?” you ask?

YOU can decide not be one of those suckers who
believes in the overnight millions in your bank account.
Deep down you know that everything worth anything
takes time, so PLEASE don’t fall for it.

Even if you’ve not decided whether or not selling online
is right for you, I strongly suggest that you take a look at
what Chris is giving away.

We WANT to give you a break. That’s why when Chris
came to me asking to tell my friends about this I had to
jump on board.

Chris is GIVING you one of his educational products,
Dropship Focus. A $97 valued product jam packed with
dropship education.

That’s right, you won’t have to enter your credit card
number, or even your PayPal address.

Times are tough, and we don’t want you to spend money that
you don’t have.

That’s why it’s completely, 100% F.R.E.E.

Go Here:
http://www.importexporthelp.com/recommends/dropship-focus.htm

Watch the first video, and enter your name and email
to get access to the remainder of the product.

Feel free to share the love… pass this email on to your
friends, your coworkers, anyone who needs a break.

Wishing you abundant success!

Internet Marketing Plan For Beginners With Little Or No Money

By Luis Galarza - Affiliate Marketing Secret Training Guide Blog.

To Start Your Internet Home Business You Need To Know The Basics Of An Internet Marketing Plan For Beginners That Will Help You Start Promoting Your New Business Online With Little or No Money What's Over!

First before I continue with the basic step-by-step Internet marketing plan for beginners, you need to understand that to make the huge Adsense and affiliate commission checks, you will need to put some money into your business in order to help it grow smoothly, which little by little will turn into an online money making machine.

So, always save money to invest in your online business to keep it growing...

Many beginners always make a lot of big Internet marketing mistakes, and I don't want you to fail in the online marketing myth traps.


Here are some of the myth you should avoid:

- No researching the profit potential of the niche market they decide to monetize. This is suppose to be the first step you should make before even creating a web site or blog.

- Not writing a good strategic Internet marketing plan that will help you keep your strategies focus on your business goals.

- Spending too much money in web site design, development, and hosting. Now you can have a nice web site create for about $100 and even for nothing if you use free site builders.

- Thinking they need a top domain name to build a good reputation online.

- If you build it they will come... Without marketing your site you and whoever created your site are the only people that know about your site.

- Thinking they need their own product to start their own Internet home base business.

- Leaving SEO or search engine optimization for last... This is one of the worth mistakes you can make, you need to start optimizing your web site right from start.

- Thinking you need a lot of money before starting using Internet marketing strategies for your business. The Internet is an excellent communication channel that have many free and low cost marketing tools that you can use to test your idea, before investing a large amount of money.

- You need to learn how to use each of the elements and advertising tools that you have point in your Internet marketing plan. So, don't jump into PPC or pay-per-click advertising if you don't know how to use this marketing tool. PPC can eat your bank account if you're not careful.

- Join blogs, forums, and online clubs to learn more about the industry. And to find networking partners... Remember that running an online business is just like running an offline business, you need to take advantage of every networking opportunity you come across, and online is even easier to find a large amount of partners in your niche.

OK, now that you know some of the Internet marketing myth and mistakes many beginners fall in, we can start talking about the marketing plan.


First you will need some of the following tools:
1.- A free professional web site: You can get a Free Microsoft Live Basic Web Site, they will give you a free site with a free regular domain name (www.your-site.com). Yes, it's free, you only need an email account with Hotmail or MSN, and a credit card to verify your age, and done...

2.- A free Blogger blog or Wordpress: If you have a little investment you can get a low cost hosting account which includes free domain name to host your blog on your server. I recommend you to start with a free one so you can test how profitable your niche really is, and then go from there.

3.- A free Squidoo account: Squidoo is an excellent web 2.0 social media tool that has a lot of love from Google... And you can use this to gain more exposure for other top search keywords and you can make extra money at the same time.

4.- A need free classified ads and article directories: You are going to use this to attract more visitors to your site and blog... If you decide to use only a blog, it's OK. Just send the traffic to your blog.

OK, I hope this is not to many things to do, but the marketing strategy will work better if you have all this tools working passively for you.

Here is the step-by-step Internet marketing plan for beginners that you can use to start promoting your new Internet home business, plus you can make money online from multiple streams of income. This system work if you follow it the right way.

Step 1.- Use the free web site as your main company site where all your products or services sales landing pages are going to be. Then you are going to add at least one article per week and then re-write those article and submit them to the article directories. Also, you are going to link to your blog using the main keywords that you want your blog rank for on the search engines.

Step 2.- Your blog needs to be updated at least once per day, you will not link to your main company site from the homepage of your blog, instead you are going to create a blog post with all your contact information, on this post you will have a link back to your main website. What you doing is giving a higher rank back link to your main site, because you will add a link to this post on the homepage of your blog.

Step 3.- You will add a direct one way back link to your Squidoo pages or lenses, and your Squidoo lenses will have one way back link to your main site. The more Squidoo pages you create the better. But, you are going to do this only with the ones with content that it's relevant to your main site niche market.

For example: If your main site is going to be optimize for the keywords "Weight Loss", and your blog can be optimize for a combination of the main keyword and some lower traffic keywords like, "Weight Loss Story". Then your Squidoo lenses will be optimize for as many lower and high traffic keywords (per lens).


How Will You Make Money Online With This Internet Marketing Plan?

Step 4.- If your web sites are targeting a niche that has digital information products or ebooks, regular books, software, membership sites, services, and physical products. You have a larger list of monetization opportunities that range from: Adsense, Affiliate Programs, CPA Networks, Clickbank, Amazon, Zlio, Contextual Ad Networks like Adbrite, Commission Junction, etc... Plus, your own products or services.

Test what's better for you, but here is a little strategy to get started:

Step 5.- Add Google Adsense at the top and bottom of your article on your main site. Don't put adsense on the main page, only on the article pages. You can add a little recommendation section on your main site's homepage for some affiliate product and link to pre-sell or review post on your blog.

Step 6.- Add Adsense to your blog on the top and on the left side of your content. Also you can use other contextual ad networks or CPA networks like Azoogle. Also put a widget from Amazon below the Adsense, and AuctionAds widget at the bottom of each post, you can also try this ads at the top of your posts.... Just test what works better for you.

Step 7.- With affiliate programs, don't link directly to the merchant, link to your pre-sell or review post pages this way you have double chances for visitors to click on Adsense or see something else they are really interest in.


Increase Your Web Site Traffic.

Step 8.- Now you need to write articles at least once or twice per week or more at the beginning, and post free classifieds ads for your affiliate reviews or pre-sell pages, and for your own products. Then Digg and StumbleUpon each article, and blog posts. Also, use Autopinger to ping your blog post right after you post it. And when you Digg or add them to any social bookmarking site, make sure you ping your RSS feed from each of those sites.

Step 9.- Because of the back linking strategy and the one way back links from articles, classifieds, and social bookmarks, your site will start getting a lot of traffic from the top search engines. And this traffic will increase by the month, then by the week, and then by the day.

Bring The Sexy Back To Your Online Banners

By Luis Galarza - Affiliate Marketing Secret Training Guide Blog.

Is True, Online Banners Aren't Sexy And Don't Work Any More For Internet Marketing... BUT, Only When You Design Them The Wrong Way!

Hi everyone, today I want to talk about how you can bring the sexy back into your online banners marketing campaign and make them deliver response. I going to try to make it short, because I'm a little exhausted today... I was helping one of my local clients develop a strategic Internet marketing plan for his new blog. I told him I will help him have a good plan on his hand even if take all night, which it did... but, his was happy with the finish project, and that makes me happy.

OK, so let's talk about online banners, I'm not going to tell you that they don't have the same type of response like 10 years ago, but there is hope...

Now after a lot of testing and seminars, I can tell you what type of banners are the one that will increase conversions like: Click-through, pre-selling that sells, and, oh! Hold on, I'm not talking about other uses for banners that also work, I will get into that tomorrow, after I get some sleep :)

First you need to forget including...

- Quick flashing animated images.
- Crazy high quality graphics.
- The "Click Here" message.
- Actually today you will not use any images.

Here is the secret: Online banners that have the highest conversion and responses are the ones that look like any other type of text ad. Yes, the secret was that simple, you have to remember that words sell not the graphics.

What the graphics do is complement the sales copy of your ad. Also to help your banner marketing campaign have a successful response, you have to:

1.- Follow the regular creation pattern of a contextual ad: Your ad sales copy needs to have a catchy headline, a irresistible offer on the body of the sales copy, and a call to action.

2.- Let Your Sales Copy Be Read: You need one of two things. Add enough white space so your copy can be easily read, for example: if you use white background make sure your text is in a really lite color. And second you can use a good contrast on colors and images as soon your text stand out, if not trash the images and keep the text.

3.- Don't Even Think About Telling Them Who You Are: Remember today I'm talking about how to increase the responses that you get from your banner advertising campaign, not using banner marketing as branding exposure tool. So, keep your ego at home, and take the sales copy hat to the office... This mean don't add your site domain name or URL, in your banner, this will tell your viewers that the only way they can get the information they want they have to click on the banner. Plus, this way you can track the advertising results, and use split testing on your ads to help you optimize your results.

4.- Let Them Know You Don't Want Them To Click Your Banner: Don't get confuse, what I mean with this is that you need to use the ad copy to pre-qualify your banner ad viewers, so you only get clicks from a targeted prospect not just any one. For example, if you don't want free ride seekers, just add the prise of your product or service on the ad copy, this will keep free riders away from clicking, which will increase your web site sales conversion.

TIP: Make your ad sales copy interesting and get your prospects curiosity high enough to make them click to check what you have to offer. And another thing... Make sure your landing page is customize for each banner, this is what will increase sales conversion for you even more.

In Conclusion: Test your banners, track everything, and do small changes, until you find the winner ad. Split test colors, headline, sales copy, the call to action, and do the same with your landing pages.
