Internet Marketing: Tip of the Month - Twitter

Hello All:

Here is a great tip on the many uses of Twitter, and how you can increase your bottom line with just a few strokes of your computer keyboard.

Retweet buttons is a great way to encourage customers, visitors, and prospects to easily tell others who would be interested in your PDF reports, e-books, checklists, and other PDF downloads. And because all they have to do is click a few buttons, all the work of tweeting about your content is already done for them... which make promoting your PDF a snap! You can use this technique to:

* Build your mailing list
* Increase up your Twitter following
* Encourage more affiliate sales
* Get more traffic to your website

SEO Myth: You Can't Use Flash on Your Website.

You Can't Use Flash on Your Website - right ? Wrong !

Yes, you can! While I don't recommend that you create your entire website in Flash, using bits of Flash here and there for some cool effects will not bother or choke the search engines in the least. They don't punish, penalize or otherwise nuke into oblivion sites that have Flash on them. You should of course avoid putting important content into your Flash elements, and also remember that some mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad don't support Flash. But if you add alternative text for non-Flash-enabled browsers, all should be well.

Internet Marketing: Google Changes

Hello Everyone:

Google has just made public another change in how they view and rank websites within their search engine! Google is now very interested in the speed in which your website loads when someone clicks on your site! So for all the SEO and Web Masters who for years have tried to convince people that their web sites should be busy and have all the bells, whistles and flash - guess what? They have done you a great disservice and have actually hurt you and your business. That's why I have never been an advocate of these methods; my method is keep it simple and easy to navigate.

Hope this tip has been useful.

Internet Marketing: How to Keep Control of Your Online Presence

by Jim Gage

Just like there are a lot of things that you must keep control of in the offline part of your Internet business…there are a number of things that you need to be in control of if you have an online presence or if you’re selling your products and services online. Unfortunately, a lot of business owners give up a lot of control over their online presence simply because they don’t know how certain parts of the Internet functions or because they don’t want to get into the technical parts of running a presence online. This usually ends up in disaster for the business owner who caught unaware. In this article I’ll talk about how to keep control of your online presence and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that can take how you present yourself online out of your hands.

1. Register your own domain name…and always register it yourself- Domain names are like digital real estate. If you wait until you’re ready to build a website before you register your domain name, you might miss out permanently. You don’t have to have a website in order to use a domain name, you can send email under your own domain name or forward it to your third part store or blog. You can get your own domain name for as little as $8 per year…so there’s no reason why you shouldn’t have your own domain name even if you’re not ready to build a website yet.

2. Have more than one place online where people can contact you- Preferably a channel that you have control over, whether it’s a blog, social networking site, or your own website. Websites and social networking services aren’t forever. If you have multiple places where people can contact you, you increase the chance that people can find you and you have a back up if one channel disappears or goes down...

Internet Marketing : Membership Sites

Hello Everyone:

I was asked today if membership sites were still a viable marketing strategy for consistent cash flow? Well, that surely is a loaded question, but the simple answer is Yes ! As long as your site is something that people need and need on a regular basis. There is no use having someone join your site for 1 month and then cancel; that is not a recipe for ongoing cash flow.

So that being said, what site do best in an economy where people are pinching pennies? Any sites that people gain valuable or enjoyable information will do very well in this economy such as:

--> Improve your golf game

--> Dog Training

--> Stock Market Investing Training

--> Real Estate Investing Training

--> Public Speaking

--> Exercise Related Subjects

etc...

These are just a few ideas for you to consider and start to develop. Remember, you can charge anywhere from $17.00 to hundreds of dollars per month based on your subject matter.
Now the million dollar question, how much will it cost you? You can get a membership site up and running for about $150.00 when you use a blogging platform.
