How Do People Find Your Site?
By admin
I don’t have to tell you that you need traffic – people to visit your site. But how do you get them to find you? You can’t just put up a site and expect everyone to find it. There are millions of sites out there and it’s pure luck that your site will be discovered unless you invite people. You have to find a way to tell them, “come visit my site”.
So how do you do that? Well, you have to know where those people already hang out and visit the same places to invite them. Think of it as placing a billboard before everyone’s eyes. Or maybe just a simple ad on a post. Either way you have to spread the message around.
One of the ways to do that is forums. Surprisingly they are very underrated. However, becoming a part of community in your niche and have your signature file with your posts can be very effective. People that are already interested in what your site is about read the forums and they see your link. They obviously will follow through to your site.
The drawback of this method is that it can get very time consuming. To participate in several forums takes a lot of time and effort. But it’s still very much worth the consideration.
What to Pay Attention to in Internet Marketing
By admin
Internet marketing is not a difficult science, but it should be consider as one. Far too often people think there’s some magic behind it that pops money when saying the right words. That is not, however, true.
The success in Internet marketing is a result of scaling – a repetition of a system. You can say that’s the secret formula. Take any conventional business and remove all obstacles of scaling and you have Internet business. That’s why some people are able to make millions, they repeat their simple business many times over. Therefore, anyone who is able to create a conventional business, should have no problems with online business.
Note also that I use terms Internet marketing and online business interchangeably. That’s only because Internet marketing what makes doing business online unique and describes it unambiguously.
When it comes to marketing itself, there are only 3 things you need to get done, and you don’t have to be perfect at it. It’s traffic, website and conversions. On top of that, you can build a client base that would help with all three – that’s where the real power lies.
Once you have those three, it’s all about repeating them until you get where you want. You can also automate the repetition, but that’s a topic for another post.
