Website business is one of the lucrative business on the internet.
If you do a search on Google keyword suggestion tool for the word “website business” related , you will find below current searches per month :

a) Website business – 90,500
b) Virtual real estate – 18,100
c) Sell website – 18,100

e) Flip website – 2,400
f) Site flip – 1,300

From those statistics you will know that many web entrepreneurs or internet marketers are looking for effective ways or methods to jump into the bandwagon of selling websites for profits.
A search on Yahoo for the keyword “website business’ will bring in about 2 billions websites and blogs that are involved in the website business or virtual real estate industry.

Let me give you an example how the internet marketer makes money by selling websites.
First they will buy a domain.Not any domain names but those that contains keyword that people search for.
Then they will put content on it like articles or videos.
The next step will be putting something that can monetize the site like Google Adsense or alternatives and by putting affiliate products on it.
At this point the domain will have zero values.
When the website is ready they will start to drive loads of traffic to it.
When the domain starts to make money then the value for the domain will start to increase.
This is when marketer will sold it and makes a profit out of it.
I have seen websites that were sold for hundreds of thousands or even millions due to their value in terms of their niche,profitability and traffics.

Siterush is a new breakthrough ebook that will explains from A to Z on how to do this.
Below is a few benefits and methods that will be discussed in the ebook :

Google Ambush Review

Google Ambush


There's ONE secret to Google Success!

Hi there,


I've told you about Google Ambush before. All hype aside, to say it

has taken off is an understatement.

Over 3,000 people have signed up, and as I'm writing this there are

only 50 spots left. If you've been on the fence, now's the time to

get off!

==>> Google Ambush

But let me explain what Google Ambush is, because I think a lot of

people are missing it.

Google is a massively successful company. It's easy to bash them

and claim they're putting one over on the little guy to get rich.

Hogwash.

The people saying that are bitter. They couldn't make their

advertising pay off, so now they're going to attack the company

that provide the advertising platform. That's insane!

Google is the golden goose. All you have to do is know how to make

it lay eggs. That's the secret.

The problem is...it's hard.

I could lie to you and tell you it's easy to milk huge money out of

Google ads. It is when you know what you're doing, but that's the

problem. Most people have no clue, and that means the only easy

thing about Google advertising is losing money.

Enter Google Ambush. This page tells the whole story:

==>> Google Ambush

Google doesn't reveal exactly how their advertising system works.

Well, that's not quite right. They don't reveal how to dominate it.

They'll tell you how to get set up, but they won't tell you how to

make consistent profits. Hey, this is business and they don't mind

a bunch of ignorant people giving them money.

What you need is a manual that tells you how to sneak up on Google,

figure out their secrets and ambush their corporate coffers.

They're huge. Most people end up giving them a ton of money. You

can sneak in under the radar and rob them blind. All's fair in

love, war and advertising.

Google Ambush shortcuts the entire process. It's like having an

automated Google ad machine that you activate with a press of a

button.

==>> Google Ambush

Several buttons, actually, because Google Ambush pretty much does

EVERYTHING for you. I simply couldn't believe my eyes.

Google Ambush finds markets for you. Yes, it goes out and finds the

niches with money to blow. These are the juicy micro-niches that

have HUGE profit potential.

Then the software ambushes your competition by...you might want to

sit down...figuring out their most profitable keywords and spilling

the beans. You'll know which keywords actually make them profit

right now. Then you can steal them!

But Google Ambush digs deeper and shows you which specific ads are

the winners in any market you choose. Why start from scratch? Find

the winners and copy them! It's sort of like the Burger King

restaurant placement strategy: Find a McDonald's and build a Burger

King right across the street.

And once you know the keywords you need and have the ads to copy,

you need to create a separate optimized landing page for each and

every keyword.

That will take days or weeks if you do it on your own. With Google

Ambush, it'll take literally seconds. Press and button and presto!

Out come your beautiful pages.

All you do is log into your account, press a few buttons, and

Google Ambush does all the hard work for you. You could fire up a

successful campaign in an afternoon and see profit by the next day.

But with over 3,000 people already signed up, the doors are closing

soon. There are only 50 spots left. Time is running out. Do you

want to ambush Google and start making a killing from your ads?

Google Ambush is the answer...at least until the doors shut forever.

==>> Google Ambush

Here's to Ambushing Google,

Kind regards

Blogging to the Bank 3.0 - Honest Review

Blogging to the Bank 3.0 - Honest Review

Visit Blogging To The Bank Website

Blogging has been around for a few years now. Most people use blogs to record
their thoughts and lives, while the select few use them as a free way to make a
fortune.

One guy who uses this to his advantage is Rob Benwell. In 2006 he dished the
dirt on the tips and tricks to making a fortune using blogging. But as time
passes the old systems become obsolete and new techniques are required. This is
where his brand new, fresh off the press Blogging to the Bank 3.0 system comes
into play.

For those who know who Rob Benwell is like me, you’ve probably made a killing
using blogs.
For those who don’t, he’s the story:

Back in 2005 he was struggling to make any profit online, had dropped out of
college and was getting deep into debt. He was trying all the techniques the
gurus tell you and wasn’t getting anywhere fast. All of that went in the bin
and he started using his own techniques and started making more and more money
using simple blogs. In early 2006 he shared this with the world and had a great
ebook called blogging to the bank. Tons of people got rich from using these
techniques (including me). He then spoke at Online Marketing Legend Yanik
Silver’s underground Seminar where he revealed even more of his underground
strategies. Then July 2007 he released Blogging to the Bank 2.0 which showed
users his new methods to creating online wealth using blogs. In total both
versions have been read by over 50,000 people across the world.

But as I said earlier, the techniques used in these ebooks are now showing
there age. Some of them are not even working in the slightest! This is where
blogging to the bank 3.0 comes into play.
It’s full of great new techniques that work online right now! Everything’s
explained in plain English with all the fluff cut out. I got hold of an
advanced copy of the book for a much higher price than what it actually sells
for and it has been worth every single cent! I got it in the afternoon and by
the evening I was creating new profitable blogs. Within a couple of hours of
them being active I had made a nice little profit.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 teaches you Robs new step by step blueprint to
creating highly profitable long term niche blogs using the newest optimization
techniques. There’s even a section on advanced Search Engine Optimization. Most
people think SEO is difficult but Rob explains this nice and simply so even the
blogging newbie will understand it.

Blogging To The Bank 3.0 is a breath of fresh air and I highly recommend it to
anyone wanting to make easy money online.

Using Audio for Affiliate Training

If you currently have an affiliate program in place, you understand the benefits of having a huge sales force that you only have to pay on performance. Likewise, you understand that, as one person, you can only sell x number of products, but with an affiliate program you have the potential to greatly increase your sales.

Of course, not everyone that signs up as an affiliate will bring you sales. In fact, the majority of your affiliates may not sell anything at all. You can increase the odds of their success by providing training on your products as well as training on affiliate marketing.

Using audio for your affiliate training is a great way to reach your affiliates. You may have created some very helpful affiliate training guides in the past, but many people do not have time to read them. As you know, different people have different learning styles, and those that do take the time to read your training guides may not absorb much of the information through reading. Creating an audio training will solve both of these problems.

The more knowledge your affiliates have about your product, the more they will want to market it. In a perfect world, all of your affiliates will be former customers who bought your product and loved it so much they wanted to become your affiliate and tell others about it. Of course, we do not live in a perfect world and many of your affiliates may have little to no experience with your product.

To combat this problem, you could set up a training where you explained the features and benefits of your product, compared your product with the competition and even gave a special discount offer at the end of the recording for those that listened to the entire recording and wanted to purchase your product.

Many of the people who have signed on as your affiliates may have no prior marketing experience. They may need help with generating traffic, creating ads, or writing effective copy. By offering a generalized training with some affiliate marketing tips can greatly increase your affiliates’ motivation and effectiveness.

In addition to the above reasons, audio is also a great time saver. Your can record the audio in a short amount of time and upload the files to your affiliate management center. You can use these same training audios for years to come.

Offering an audio training also helps increase the communication between you are your affiliate team. Your affiliates will feel that you really care about your product and their success. This will help you build loyalty and trust with your affiliates. When given the choice of promoting your product and your competitors’, they will choose to promote your product. The more you invest in to the relationship between you and your affiliates, the more profits you can expect to gain.

Benefits of Friendly Competition

If you thrive on challenges and hate to be outdone, you may want to find some “friendly competition.” By nature, “friendly competition” is not meant to hurt anyone’s feelings. It is there to create motivation and to help people reach goals.

There are a number of message boards and forums that are focused on business; you can create a post that explains your goals for the next month and ask other members to reply back with their goals. All of you can keep adding updates each week on what you have accomplished.

You may choose to put together a more formal, tight-knit group of a few selected people that correspond via a yahoo group or private chat room. You can update each other daily, if you wish. You can even take this a step further and meet weekly on a conference call; as it may be easier to discuss problems and brainstorm with each other via telephone.

If you find yourself connecting with one person more so than with the others, ask that person to be your accountability partner. You can even give each other a quick call every morning to pump each other up, or at the end of the day to talk about what you had accomplished and what you plan on doing the next day.

Aside from going over each person’s individual goals, you can also create monthly “contests.” For instance, if you are in direct sales, you can meet with other people in the industry and have a contest over who can book the most parties, sell the highest dollar amount, or recruit the most people.

If you are an internet marketer, your group can have contests such as who can write and distribute the most articles or press releases. If you create information products, your group can hold a contest over who can develop the most new products in a given month. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating motivating contests.

The simple fact that you are letting people know your goals, and meeting at designated times to cover your progress, can be very motivating. No one wants to admit that they haven’t done anything and that they are not even close to accomplishing their goals. This is especially true if the other people in the group have worked really hard and have accomplished several things.

Knowing that other people are going to hold you accountable for your actions and “kick you in the butt” if you need it, can drive you to work hard and accomplish your goals. However, friendly competition can take a downturn if the competition turns vicious or mean. If you are working at your best level, and attending your meetings makes you feel bad or “not good enough,” that group may not be the one for you. Look for a supportive, fun spirited group that inspires you.

Be Unique…Be You

The way that you see your business has a huge impact on what your business becomes. If you view your business as fun, easy-going, and laid back, your business will be those things. If you envision your business as serious or tedious, it will take on that form. Your attitude about your business will show through to others.

There are no set rules about your business. You should feel free to have fun and do things the way you want to. Feel free to be unique and set your own goals. You may read a book or hear a story about the ways another person manages their business, and their way may work great for them. However, the way they do business may not work for you at all.

It is important to set your own business goals and follow your own management style. If your business becomes a chore, you may not want to do it anymore. You may start to procrastinate when it comes to completing your work and eventually stop working your business completely.

To keep things fun, try to stay positive about each aspect of your business; if there is a particular task that you don’t like, hire an assistant to do that task for you. When you are able to concentrate on the things you like doing most, you will feel energized and you will want to take those things head on.

You have surely heard the old saying “rules are meant to be broken”. When it comes to your business, take that saying to heart. If someone doesn’t like the design of your website or the way you write your content, so be it. You can’t please everyone, and that person may not have anything to do with your target market at all.

If you feel that what you are doing is right, keep on that path. Sometimes you have to walk down a long, bumpy road, but the rewards are worth it. If you were given a choice to have immediate success at a business you hated or to have success in two years with a business you loved, would you keep working those two years to have happiness and success?

Unfortunately, no one can tell you the date or time when your success will begin. But if you keep working and keep putting in consistent effort, you will find your success. Best of all, it will be on your terms.

Avoid "Burn Out" by Balancing Work and Family

Many people turn to a home business in an effort to be able to spend more time with their family while earning an income. While it is never easy to be a full-time working parent outside the home, it can be just as hard, if not harder, to be a full-time working parent from home.

When your family sees you at home, they may automatically feel that you are at their service. One child may need a ride somewhere, another child wants you to find something they are looking for, and your spouse wants you to run to the store and buy something for dinner. On top of all of that, you have clients expecting you to complete various projects for them, as well.

You may want to hold a family meeting and explain how important it is to your family that you have time set aside for your business. It doesn’t matter if you leave the house and work from an office, or if you work from the kitchen table, work is work. Your family wouldn’t come to an office outside the home and ask you to do all those miscellaneous tasks, working from home should be no different.

Of course, you will want to set aside time for your family, just as you would for your clients. Working from home will allow you to have a flexible schedule and that gives you the opportunity to attend school functions and other activities.

While it can be easy to procrastinate and not get your work done, it can be just as easy to over schedule yourself and spend too much time working. Your family needs to have some quality time with you; and you will need their support, too. Starting a new home business can be draining. It will be a lot easier with the support of your family.

You can also ask your family to help you with the household chores. Set up a schedule where everyone pitches in with various tasks. Depending on the age of your children, they may be able to help with things such as emptying the garbage, vacuuming, doing laundry, preparing their own lunches for school, or even preparing dinner for the family. If you have a spouse, make sure that they are involved, too.

Another option is to ask a young teenager in the neighborhood to come over and “entertain” your children while you work for a few hours. A younger teen without a lot of prior babysitting experience will charge less than an older teen. Since you will be in the house, you can take over in case of an emergency. Your young sitter can play with the kids, read stories to them, etc – and you can have three or four hours of uninterrupted work time.

Balancing work and family will never be easy, but with practice – and patience; it can be done.

Audio Whats the Big Deal?

If you have been surfing the internet lately, you will have noticed that audio has become the trend among website owners. The audio may take the shape of a welcome greeting, an audio blog or a podcast, or all three combined.

The types of audio you find may be different, but there is no stopping it. Audio is changing the face, and the sound, of the internet. If you are wondering what the fuss is all about, the following are some reasons why audio has received so much popularity.

First and foremost, it is something new. Savvy website owners want to attract as much traffic to their site as possible, and adding the “next big thing” is a way to draw in that traffic. Not to mention that adding audio is simple and easy to do, and there aren’t too many up front costs.

Adding audio to a website adds a bit of variety as well. When a website owner adds too many pictures or graphics, a site can look busy and actually deter traffic. When a website owner adds audio to their site, it gives their visitors something new to listen to and keeps them coming back for updates.

You have probably felt the difference between shopping online and shopping in a brick and mortar store. When you shop in a store located in your local neighborhood, you are more than likely greeted warmly and someone usually thanks you for coming on upon leaving the store. However, when you shop online, you may feel that the experience is a bit cold and non-personal.

Adding a welcome greeting to your website adds a nice personal touch. Your visitors will hear the sound of your voice and will see you as a real person, not a nameless, faceless website.

In addition to helping the customer feel welcome and appreciated, audio messages help to create trust between you and the customer. The more the customer sees you as a real person, someone just like them, the more they will trust you. They will feel that they know you, and will want to do business with you. They will also be more likely to recommend your services to other people.

Excitement feeds excitement, and if you keep your audio messages upbeat, positive, and friendly, your customers will feel that and become more energized their selves. This can be a great motivator and can help you increase your sales.

If you have a fence-sitter, someone who is contemplating a purchase, and they play one of your audios where you sound alive and full of energy, and you are explaining why your product or service is so great and you give them the reasons that it will make their life better, that could induce the fence-sitter to get off the fence and buy your product.

We have gone over the reasons why audio can help you bring in more traffic, help you find repeat visitors, keep your visitors on your site longer, build trust, and motivate people into buying your product. As you can see, audio is a big deal and it is something you should definitely consider adding to your site.

Newbie Know How: Article Marketing

Article marketing is an important part of Internet marketing. When done correctly it can help a business owner establish, among other things, expertise in their field, and high search engine rankings.

Wikipedia defines article marketing as "a type of advertising through which a business writes short articles related to its respective industry." But as an online business owner, what do you do with those articles once you have written them?

You can publish them on your website, send them to your mailing lists, and submit them to article directories for others to publish on their sites as well. Each article contains a resource box or author biography (bio) at the end that tells about the writer and usually links to a website so the reader can find more information on the article topic.

When you post your articles to article directories online, you are giving others permission to reprint them as they are, including the resource box, on their site. This will give you more incoming links to your site, therefore helping to raise your site's page rank with the search engines.

If you plan to grow your website traffic numbers, article marketing is one of the tasks you should absolutely implement in your business. You can write the articles yourself or have them written for you by ghostwriters. A ghostwriter is someone who writes for you, but you claim the written material as your own. The ghostwriter has no claim to the article what-so-ever.

But, what do you write about? Here are just a few suggestions for article topics.

How-To Articles
People come to the Internet for information and many times it's to find out how to do something. Find something that fits into your business and tell others how to do it in the form of an article.

Statistical Articles
People love having data to back up information. Find statistics that support what you have to share.

Product and/or Service Reviews
Most people will not buy a product based on just what the product says on the box or web site. Write reviews about products and services you've used remembering to give the good and bad points about the product.

Analyze Yourself

As a business owner, you are both the boss and the employee. Some people can thrive in this type of situation and achieve more than they could in a traditional work environment. For other people, this situation can spell disaster. That is why it is important to analyze yourself several times a year to make sure you are staying on track.

Are you focused on your business? This alone can throw your business into high gear or create a standstill. It can be easy to lose focus when you work at home, as there will always be other things competing for your attention. It is okay to let the laundry wait for a few hours while you work on your business. Your laundry can’t pay your bills, but those few hours you put into your business could reap you many financial rewards.

Not only is focusing on business tasks important, but it is important to be focused within your business. It is easy to get sidetracked with new business ventures and other offers. It can be hard to spread your time and energy over too many projects. It is easier to manage a select few projects that are tightly woven within your target market.

Are you being productive? At the end of the day, do you ever feel like you worked all day but accomplished nothing? Take a look at the tasks you are working on, and whether they are actually important to your success. If you find yourself getting sidetracked by surfing the web, chatting in forums, or reading blogs, try to schedule time for those activities after your “real work” is done.

On the other hand, if you feel your time is being sucked away by answering email, updating your website, or collecting research for an upcoming information product you are working on, try outsourcing those tasks to a virtual assistant. This will help you free up some time to work on business tasks that need more attention.

Are you reaching your goals? If you find that you are constantly missing your goal deadlines, you may want to take the time to revamp your goals. Create an action plan that will be easy to follow and help you get to your end result.

Would I hire myself? This is a tough question to ask yourself, but it is very important. It may sound silly, but perhaps you could write out a job description and give yourself an interview. Are you the type of employee you would want to hire?

If you answered “no” to the above question, take some time to write out the areas within yourself that you would like to improve. This can be a hard exercise to complete, but once you have analyzed yourself, you’ll be on your way to becoming a better business owner and having a better business.

5 Proven Offline Methods to Build Your Online Empire

Offline Advertising and Promotion. 5 Proven Offline Methods to Build Your Online Empire


Offline advertising can be your company’s best friend, if it’s done correctly. In fact, despite the influence of the internet in our daily lives, offline advertising still accounts for the majority of marketing expenditures for most businesses today.

What is the difference between offline advertising and online advertising?

Simple, offline advertising accounts for all advertising methods that are conducted offline. From classified advertisements to fancy direct mail campaigns, if it’s not on the internet, it’s offline.

The benefits of offline advertising are many. While offline advertising generally costs more per targeted prospect than online advertising, offline advertising presents you, as a business owner, the ability to reach a more specific target market.

Offline advertising also enables you to broaden your market to those that may not generally use the internet for research or shopping.

Because everyone learns and remembers differently, offline advertising enables you to reach your prospect multiple times via multiple methods, thereby ingraining your company message and benefits to them.

For example, if you ensure that the same demographic receives your email newsletter, a postcard direct mail piece and reads about your business in their favorite association or trade magazine, you’ve reach them in three different ways and are virtually guaranteed to be first in their minds when they need your product or service.

On the contrary, if you only reach your target demographic via email newsletters, then they may not consider your product or service unless they are online and in immediate need of your products or services.

Offline Advertising Defined.

Advertising, offline or online, is a paid attempt to sell your products or services to your target market. It is a paid attempt to urge a purchase or other course of action.

Advertising should: Tell your prospects that you exist
Tell your prospects what you sell or provide
Tell people how to contact you
Tell people the benefits they receive from purchasing

5 Proven Offline Advertising Methods and How to Make them Work for You.

1. Direct Mail or Direct Response Advertising.
Direct response advertising is perhaps the number one tool that many companies use to increase awareness and purchases. Why? When it’s done correctly, direct response works wonderfully. However, when it is done wrong it can be a costly lesson.

What is Direct Response Advertising? Take a look at your mailbox today and examine its contents. You’re likely to see a significant amount of direct response mail or what we fondly call, junk mail. Postcards, brochures, and sales letters all designed to inform us about a company, their products and services, and the benefit that you’ll receive from purchasing.

Unfortunately, much of this direct mail ends up in the garbage so you must go into the campaign understanding that. An acceptable response rate for a direct mail campaign is 3 to 4 percent conversion rate, meaning that if you sent your letter to 100 people 3-4 of them would make a purchase from your letter.

The key to great conversion rates lies in incorporating several factors. Your direct mail piece needs to have:
* Attention getting device. This is usually a well crafted headline.
* Interest. It needs to address their interests. You’d likely be wasting your money and time if you sent a NASCAR mailing list a postcard about your gardening supplies company.
* Desire. If you have your prospect’s attention and interests, now you need to create a desire for your product or service. Highlighting the benefits your reader will receive rather than the features you offer will go a long way towards generating desire.
* Action. No direct mail piece will work, or generate sales, if you neglect to have a call to action. What do you want your reader to do? Do you want them to call you? Do you want them to visit your website for a free report or consultation? Do you want them to make a purchase?

You have to tell your readers what you want them to do or they won’t do it. This is why you often see “ACT NOW” or “BUY NOW” “CALL NOW” at the end of advertisements and direct mail pieces. It’s a call to action.

2. Magazine and Newspaper Advertising
There are three types of advertisements that work exceptionally well and will generate the most Return on Investment.

They are:
* Open Letter
* Classic Direct Response
* Advertorial

Open letter advertising looks and reads like a letter. It generally begins with “Dear Reader,” or “Dear Pet Lover,” “Dear Working Mom.” You address the letter to the demographic you’re targeting.

You then proceed to write a letter, a persuasive letter, to your prospects. Your letter will address your reason for writing, what your products or services are about, what you can do for your reader, and how they can act to receive the benefits of your product or service.

You should still incorporate the Attention, Interest, Desire, Action strategy, or AIDA. Use your headline as the attention getting device. For example, this headline taken from Bottom Line Personal, “What never…ever to eat on an airplane!”

Classic Direct Response reads like a typical sales letter. It offers a call to action as well as proof of why your product or service works using testimonials and statistics to back your claims. You can also use a coupon as a call to action at the end.

Advertorials are advertisement editorials. They are advertisements that look like articles and they work simply because, like the other two forms of advertising we’ve discussed, they attract attention. They look different than the standard advertisement. Advertorials work particularly well because readers perceive them to be true articles even though it reads “Paid Advertisement” at the bottom or top of the page.

The key to all three forms of advertising are to have compelling headlines and a call to action. Don’t’ forget to use emotions to build your reader’s interest. You’ll also improve your conversion rate if you include proof, guarantees, and testimonials to give credibility to your claims.

3. Yellow Pages and Beyond. How to use Your Yellow Pages for Maximum Results.
The yellow pages are generally an afterthought for many businesses; however you’re shorting yourself if you forget this inexpensive advertising tool.

In addition to being seen by anyone specifically looking for your service, adding an advertisement in the yellow pages means that you’ll also be added to your local search listing online. It’s a win win situation. Here are 7 tips to making your yellow pages ad stand out from your competition:

* Be different. Take a look at the other advertisements in your category and make sure that yours doesn’t look the same. For example, if you’re a gardening supply company then a headline that reads “GROW ANYTHING ANYWHERE” will stand out above the other headlines.

* Focus on benefits. Like the above headline, your advertisement should contain benefits to your prospects. Because you pay by the letter, if you can include your benefit in your headline then you’re ahead of the game.

* Use a border. It may cost a little extra but a border sets your ad apart, literally, from the other ads.

* Offer something for free. Free is a powerful word that inspires action. Whether you offer a free consultation or a free product, prospects looking for your product or service are more likely to contact the company that is willing to give them something just for calling.

* Be specific. If you’re a freelance writer, then it is much better to say that you specialize in marketing copy or specialize in crafting copy for the alternative health industry than to simply say that you write copy.

* Don’t forget to include your contact information—all of it. Phone, website, email address and even your mailing address. Give them every opportunity to contact you.

* Don’t use photos or colors, they distract and studies show that they don’t offer any return on investment.

4. Classified ads, do they really work?
Classified ads can work if you use them to offer a small ticket item or to generate a sales lead. The key is to place your ad in the same paper consistently for at least three months and to make sure that they’re well written.

Here are 8 tips to write a classified ad:
* Write an entire paragraph selling your product or service then go back and ruthlessly cut all extra words.
* Use a powerful headline.
* Offer your key benefit immediately
* Don’t forget your call to action
* Use dashes-because they lead the eye-to the next word or phrase and-speed up reading.
* Use a symbol to make them stand out from the other classified ads
* Use a border
* Use power words like “New,” “Free,” “How to,” “Easy,” etc…to compel people to read.

5. Write articles for relevant associations and magazines.
Just like writing articles for online publications, writing articles for print publications is a great way to generate interest in your business, and sales. Many organizations and associations have newsletters. Contact organizations that are relevant to your industry, even if it is your local chamber of commerce, and offer to write an article for their publication.

Just like there are relevant industry organizations, there is a magazine or print newsletter designed to address just about every interest or topic. Contact the editors of these newsletters and magazines and offer to write an article for the publication.

Don’t forget to make sure that your contact information and a small biography are included at the bottom of each article.

Before you contact anyone you should:
* Have a good understanding of the market the newsletter or magazine reaches
* Be knowledgeable about the topics they discuss
* Understand the writing style used in the publication
* Have at least one suggestion for an article topic
* Be ready to sell yourself and why you should be the one to write the article

Beyond “Advertising” what you can do to promote your business and make more sales.

1. Always carry business cards and be ready and willing to hand them out when you meet a potential client. It can be in the grocery store line, at the local scout picnic, or even at the pool. You never know when you could meet a potential client and saying “I’m sorry, I don’t have my card,” just doesn’t work.

2. Be proactive about speaking engagements! Similar to publishing an article in association newsletters, many organizations are looking for speakers to present on relevant topics. Any opportunity to put yourself in front of large numbers of prospective clients or customers is a great opportunity. Likewise, speaking engagements often lead to other publicity tools like press releases to announce your speaking engagement. As the word grows about you and your business, you may even find yourself speaking with your local radio hosts or on your local news.

3. While not advertising, Press Releases are a good way to alert the media about anything new that happens with your business. Take care to write a good release that identifies a problem and then shows how your product or service solves a problem. Answer the question, “What’s in it for the reader?” Remember that journalists report the news so you need to make your press release newsworthy. Answer the questions, Who, What, Where, When, and Why.


FAQs about Advertising

How do I find out about where to advertise and promote my products and services?
Visit your local library for Standard Rate and Data Books. You can also find a directory of publications for details on various publications and means for advertising. Study your prospects. What do they read, watch, or listen to? That is where you should advertise.

How much should I spend on advertising and promotion?
The answer to that question depends on how much you can afford. The most common tool to calculate the financial benefits to advertising is to calculate your cost per thousand and your return on investment. Cost per thousand or CMP is how much does it cost you to reach 1000 people? Statistics on a publications circulation can generally be found within the publication. If not, give them a quick call.

Return on investment or ROI is calculated by your Profit minus your investment divided by your investment.

Who does the finished layout of my ad?
The graphic design and layout can be one of the projects that you outsource, along with writing the ad if you don’t like to write. Or you can do design your ad yourself. Additionally, some publications offer design services.

What if my campaign fails?
Change your ad! Change the headline. Change where you run the ad. Change your offer. Ask any advertising expert what the most important aspect of any marketing campaign is and what do you think they’ll answer? Testing. It’s the foundation of any successful advertising campaign. Remember though; if your ad is working well…don’t change it! Some successful ads run for 40 years without any changes and they consistently bring in sales.


Quick Advertisement and Promotion Checklist:

> Does your advertisement attract and engage the people that are most likely to purchase you product or service?

> Is your headline compelling?

> Does your ad hold the interest of your reader? Does it appeal to their needs, hopes, dreams, and emotions?

> Do you promise benefits to your readers? Do you explain exactly what will happen to them, how their lives will be changed, if they purchase your product or service?

> Does your ad create desire for your product?

> Does your advertisement prove the value of your product or service? How are you different and better than your competition?

> Do you establish credibility?

> Do you have a call to action?

> Do you make it easy to act?

Offline advertising and promotion can be an overwhelming concept. The best advice is to take it slow and not jump into using all advertising tools at once. Learn one, master it, and then incorporate another medium. For example, begin with a yellow pages ad. Once you are confident that your yellow pages ad meets your goals, then move on to designing a postcard mailing or full page magazine advertisement.

If you try to advertise everywhere all at once, without learning the ropes first, you can make many costly and unprofitable mistakes. That being said, once you get the hang of advertising, you can easily convert a full page advertorial into a long copy sales letter. You can use the same material and modify it to fit the publication and the advertising medium.

Congratulations on the growth of your business and best of luck in your offline advertising and promotion ventures!

Base Your Promotions Around Holidays, Special Events

If you are looking for a way to increase your sales, grab your calendar and plan a sale around the next holiday or an upcoming special event. Planning sales around holidays and special events not only gives you a reason to contact your customers, they can also give you new ideas on how to promote your items.

Start out by taking some time and thinking about the product or service you have to offer and how they can fit into holidays or special events. If you happen to sell cosmetics, you can offer special makeovers for prom, brides-to-be, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. If you sell scrapbook supplies, hold a sale slightly before or after each holiday. Most people will take lots of pictures on the actual holiday and will want to start scrapbooking on their new photos.

If you sell kitchen products, you can create a special for someone having a bridal shower, and you can certainly hold a sale just before Thanksgiving. If you happen to sell books, toys, or other products centered around children, you can hold a sale right before school gets out as well as right before school starts.

If you sell informational products, you can still take advantage of holidays and special events to increase your sales. If you sell an informational product that teaches people how to start their own business, you may want to hold a sale in September, as that is when children go back to school and stay-at-home parents can concentrate on starting a new venture. January can also be a great month to offer a promotion, as people are realizing how much money they spent on holiday gifts and are looking for a way to pay off their credit cards.

You can also offer specials on services you provide. Feel free to get creative and have fun with the process. For example, if you are an event planner, offer a special during the summer for planning family reunions or graduation parties. Another idea would be to offer a discount all-year to parents who hire you to plan their child’s first birthday.

You can also join forces with other home business owners and offer combined deals. Going back to the example of selling informational products that teach people how to start a home business, you could take your “New Year’s new-business” promotion a step further and partner with a web designer. Your package could include information on starting an online business and a “starter” website.

If you use your imagination, you can find a way to build a promotion around your products and services that fits any holiday. If you need help thinking up ideas, just look at the commercials or circulars for your local stores, as they will be using these types of promotions to lure their own customers.

Avoiding Bad Traffic

When it comes to website traffic, the old saying “the more the merrier” doesn’t exactly apply. Simply having lots of traffic will not increase the number of sales you have. Your goal in creating traffic is to attract targeted traffic, which will in turn, bring you more paying customers. You can have a lot of traffic coming to your website, but if they are not interested in your product or service, what good will it do to have them visit your site?

If you do a search on the Internet for ways to increase traffic to your site, you will find websites that sell software or monthly membership packages that promise to bring traffic to your site. Don’t be fooled by these costly gimmicks. There are many ways you can increase traffic to your site for free.

What these companies don’t tell you is that one of the methods they use to drive traffic to your site is paying people to “surf” the Internet. People log into a website, enter a password and their computer will automatically “surf the net”, displaying different websites. However, the person that logged in isn’t necessarily paying attention to the screen – or even looking at it. The company that you paid may be driving “traffic” to your site in terms of visitors, but that doesn’t guarantee more customers.

It may sound like a contradiction, but promoting free items can also bring in bad traffic. Yes, you may attract more visitors, but a lot of those people just want a “freebie”. They might not really care about the services or products you provide, and once they get that “freebie”, they may never return to your site again. Now, that doesn’t mean you should never offer free items – they can definitely help increase sales in certain situations, such as a “buy this ebook and receive this free special report” offer.

Trading links and participating in banner exchanges may sound good in theory, but again, if targeted traffic isn’t coming in, your sales won’t be affected. Remember, traffic doesn’t equal customers. If you have a site related to babies, it doesn’t make sense to trade links with a site related to sport fishing. Always keep your target market in mind. Who is your audience? Why should they visit your site? Having fresh, relevant, timely, and informative content will attract quality traffic. Once people come to know your site as a source of quality information, they will return when they need to learn something new. The more quality traffic that comes in, the more customers you will have.

By staying away from bogus websites offering promises of high numbers of traffic and sticking to proven methods of generating quality traffic, you will not only increase your site’s traffic, you will also increase your conversion rates.

Add a Newsletter Sign Up Box to Your Site

How to Add a Newsletter Sign Up Box to Your Site using Aweber

Depending on your level of expertise with HTML or the newsletter program you use in your business, adding a form for your visitors to fill in in order to sign up to receive your newsletter can be as simple as answering a few questions and copying code into your website.

Aweber is used by many online business owners and is one of the more popular systems for delivery of newsletters, follow up and broadcast emails to their subscribers.

Keep in mind, you must first have an account with Aweber in order to generate and use the code. If you don't already have an account, you can get one at http://www.aweber.com.

Once you've started a membership with Aweber, setting up your newsletter sign up box is fairly easy. You'll find step by step instructions below.

1. Login to your Aweber membership account.
2. Once you've logged in, you'll need to make sure you are on the list that you are wanting to create the sign up box for. You can see which list you are managing at the top left of the page. If the list isn't correct you can change it in the drop down box to the left.
3. After you've navigated to the correct list, you'll need to go to the List Settings tab and choose Web Form.
4. From there you'll see a list of current forms you've created for the list if any. Under those forms is a green Create Web Form button. Click that button to begin creating your sign up box.
5. Type the name of the form you want to create. For instance, if you are creating a sign up box for a blog, you could name it Blog Sign Up.
6. Next choose the type of form you need.
7. Next, type the url of your Thank You page. This is the page your visitors will be directed to once they've signed up for your list.
8. Fill in the remaining fields (Forward Variables, Already Subscribed Page, and Ad Tracking) as necessary.
9. Then let the system know which message you want your subscribers to start on. This is normally the 1st message of your autoresponder series for that list.
10. Click the Next button to proceed to Step 2 of the process. Here you can design your actual sign up box.
11. On the left hand side you'll see fields, such as name, that you can add as well as creating new fields if needed. Simply drag and drop the fields you want into the preview pane on the right.
12. You can also add a headline to your sign up box in the preview pane if you choose to.
13. Once you have the sign up preview just the way you want it, click the save button.
14. You are then directed back to your list of forms. Find the form you want to add to your site and click the Get HTML link. Copy the code and paste into your site where you want the sign up box to be located.

Although this article is specific to Aweber, many newsletter management systems are similar in that you will answer a few questions regarding your newsletter and then the system will automatically generate HTML that can easily be copied into your website code.

Newbie Know How: Affiliate Marketing

Ahh...Affiliate Marketing. This is how many people with online businesses make their living. So, what exactly is affiliate marketing and how does it work?

Affiliate marketing, in a nutshell, is when a website owner promotes other people's products for and receives compensation (commissions) for doing so. Think of a car salesman to help grasp the concept. The company who makes the cars puts them on a car lot and the hires salesman to make the sale. Once that occurs the salesman then makes a commission on the sale.

Like the car salesman who doesn't take the cars home at night, affiliate marketers do not keep an inventory of the products they promote. Nor do they determine the sales price or handle any of the actual sales. They simply promote the products in various ways that make their customers want to buy. The product owner handles everything else including giving their affiliates promotional tools and tips to help them.

Here are a few tips to help you make the most of an affiliate marketing business.

1. Have a website centered around a specific niche.
2. Research products that fit well into that niche.
3. Diversity...don't just pick one or two products to promote and think that's enough.
4. At the same time, don't try to promote products that your target market won't be interested in.
5. Test different types of promotion and see which ones work the best for you.
6. Most importantly, don't think affiliate marketing is simply a matter of posting links on a website and waiting for the commissions to role in. You have to put some thought and elbow grease into your promotions in order to make a good income with affiliate marketing.

Affiliate Payload Review

Forbidden $7,237 a Day Affiliate Tactics ..

Hi there, before you click anything or go anywhere I want you to quickly

understand how important it is for you to read every word of this email:

You've got a chance right now to absolutely dominate as a "New-Breed"

affiliate in 2008. Perhaps you've been hearing the buzz lately about

Alex Goad's newest monster, Affiliate Payload.

If you missed my message about it yesterday, don't worry, you're not too

late (**at least not yet**)...

Check it out here now:

=> http://affiliatepayload.com

After you get a look at the raw, uncut power of Affiliate Payload,

you'll understand why you don't need to waste another second struggling

to make it as a "Post-Payload" affiliate marketer online.


1 big reason: You will be at a massive disadvantage.

Check it out: Inside Affiliate Payload you will discover hidden traffic

sources (never talked about until now), and affiliate marketing tactics

that will blow your mind and completely change the way you thought real

affiliates made money.

-----------------------------------------------
Affiliate Payload Is Not As Good As You Think
-----------------------------------------------
It's BETTER! The tactics and strategies revealed inside this 250+ page

guide kick butt and take names like nothing you've seen before.

...And you can be a part of that group that makes a killing from

implementing these methods into your affiliate business.

That is, if you're not afraid of generating extremely large sums of

affiliate commission on demand, hour after hour, day after day. The

fact is the methods uncovered inside Affiliate Payload could easily have

been held and sold to the Affiliate elites for a lofty price tag.

But Affiliate Payload isn't $2k, $1k, $500, or even $100. That is if

you take massive action right now, you're in for a *very* special deal:

=> http://affiliatepayload.com

------------------------------
The Payload Monster is Hungry
------------------------------

How's cold hard cash sound for the main dish?

What you get with Affiliate Payload, is "take no prisoners",

"no-holds-barred" massive strategy guide isn't just better than any

other affiliate marketing "guide" you've ever wasted your money on.

Rightly entitled “Shadow Affiliate Documentation”...It blows them all

away!

Bold claims, I know - but when you've created a monster like Affiliate

Payload, you have to tell it like it is so as to absolutely make sure

you set apart from the pack, in fact lightyears ahead of the pack where

it belongs.

-------------------------------------
8 Massive Modules + 10 Advanced Videos
-------------------------------------

Affiliate Payload is comprised of 8 huge and in-depth modules, each of

which reveal a different underground strategy the super affiliates are

using to rake in millions of dollars every year on the Internet.

You won't find these strategies anywhere else, because they've been

absolutely locked in a vault reserved for a "shadow elite" group of

affiliates who've been secretly milking them for insane, unheard-of

affiliate profits while the little guy (perhaps you?) was left to the

scraps and leftovers.

These 8 module combine to create 250+ page juggernaut, of *ripped*

affiliate strategy muscle. And if that's all the weight you though

Payload was pushin' you're sadly mistaken...

On top of that, there's 10 in-depth, advanced training videos to go with

each of the modules, as well as a couple more bonus strategy videos.


When I said Affiliate Payload was taking the the phrase "over-deliver"

to the next level, I meant it. I've made it so dead simple, that you no

longer have an excuse for not making an absolute bundle of affiliate

commissions day after day.

It's your chance to be the lead dog. Don't take this opportunity

lightly - SEIZE it!

=> http://affiliatepayload.com

----------------------------------------
Here's What I want You to Do
----------------------------------------

Right now you can still get your hands on Affiliate Payload for the

insanely low launch discount price, but you better believe if you wait

too much longer, Alex has promised the price *will be increasing* very

soon.

IN all honesty, the reason this email is so brazen, so to the point is

because Affiliate Payload is like nothing ever released before. There's

absolutely no reason for any affiliate who takes their business

seriously, not to grab a copy of the Payload Monster.

...It's an absolute no-brainer. There's no contest to the pure,

profit-pulling tactics and strategies you will find inside this huge

guide.

This is what all affiliates have been waiting for, for a very long time.

It's here, and you can get your hands on it for an investment so small,

you'll actually refresh the sales page just to make sure the figure

above the "order now" button is correct.

When it comes to becoming a certified super affiliate, it's go hard or

go home. Where are you headed?


The time for action is now. I'll see you on the other side...

To Massive Payload Profits,


PS - If you're still not sure about whether Affiliate Payload is right

for you, I've got three quick qualifiers to answer the questions once

and for all:

1. Are you or do want to be make money as a full-time affiliate

marketer?

2. Does a drop-in-the-bucket investment now, make sense if you can earn

thousands of dollars in the coming months?

3. Are you ready?

If the answer to any of those three questions above is "Hell Yes!", then

I suggest you make your move right now.

Here's the link again:

10 Key Places To Give Away Your Promotional Products

Hi and welcome to marketing-guardian.blogspot.com .
I am an internet and affiliate marketer at http://www.klfad.com and an information provider at http://www.info-seekers.com .
I will teach you through these articles on how to do marketing online effectively.

Promotional products are everyday products that you have personalized with your business name, logo, slogan, website address, or some other personalized greeting. You may even have some promotional items lying around your house from other businesses, such as coffee mugs, calendars, magnets, pens, and key chains.

Using promotional products in your marketing methods is a very smart move. People love to receive free items and will generally hold onto your item for a long time. Every time they see your item, they are getting a reminder about your business. The following are a list of places to give away your product, and the reason behind it.

* Your website: To generate some buzz, opt to hold a monthly giveaway on your website for one of your promotional products. To be effective, think about your target market and what they may like. If you have a website with information on cooking, you can give away an apron, a measuring cup, or a recipe holder.

* Other people’s websites: In addition to holding a monthly giveaway on your own site, find other non-competing websites and offer one of your products as a giveaway for their site. To be effective, the site should have a similar target market. It doesn’t make much sense to contact a bass fishing website and offer them an apron as a giveaway.

* Upgrade orders: Use promotional items to entice your customers to upgrade their orders. Going back to the cooking website example, you could offer a free apron to anyone who purchases two recipe ebooks. Send the ebooks as digital delivery, and simply send the apron through snail mail.

* Best customer: Another twist on this idea is to surprise your best customers with the promotional item. Go back through your records from the past year and send anyone who spent over $100 a little gift. This will show your appreciation and your customer will be so flattered they will continue to buy from you again and again.

* Best affiliate: If you have an affiliate program, sending your top affiliates a promotional item as a “thank you” is a great gesture. Your affiliates will be touched, and will work even harder to promote your products and services.

* Non-competing businesses: Non competing businesses can be a great source of referrals and word of mouth advertising. A non-competing business is a business with a similar target market as you have, but is one that doesn’t sell the same products as you do. For example, a virtual assistant and a graphic designer are non-competing businesses, as are hair stylists and make-up artists.

* Trade shows: Keep an eye out for any trade shows that may be coming to your local area. For example, a graphic designer or web designer may want to attend a computer show. You don’t have to rent a table; simply get a batch of personalized pens and hand them out instead of your business card when you meet a new person.

* Local businesses: Another idea is to make a list of local businesses you would like to work with and hand deliver them a promotional item, along with your resume, cover letter, and prospectus.

* Local media: Don’t be afraid to send some promotional items to your local media, such as your local radio and television stations. Go the extra mile and add some cookies or donuts. They may say an on-air thank you, and you will get some local exposure.

* Vacation spots: If you are heading out of town, grab some promotional materials and leave them in your hotel room, rest areas, and any other place you can think of. When you return home, you may have requests from every town you visited.

7 Ideas for Adding Audio to Your Website

Hi and welcome to marketing-guardian.blogspot.com .
I am an internet and affiliate marketer at http://www.klfad.com and an information provider at http://www.info-seekers.com .
I will teach you through these articles on how to do marketing online effectively.


Adding audio to your website can be a fun way to draw in more traffic and create variety for your readers. You have a lot of choices when it comes to what type of audio to add. The following are a few ways you can start incorporating audio into your website or blog.

At times, the internet can feel like a very cold and unfeeling place. By creating a welcome greeting, you will create a warm and personable feeling around your website. Your visitors will feel that you value them and will appreciate that you took the extra time to personally greet them.

When you walk into a store, you may not notice it, but more often than not, music is playing in the background. Music can create an ambiance and set a calm and soothing mood. Setting this type of atmosphere may induce your visitors to linger longer.

If you are using your website to sell something, you more than likely have a testimonial page. Instead of only having a written testimonial, why not include a picture of the person providing the testimonial as well as an audio clip? Your viewers can hear the testimonial straight from the proverbial horse’s mouth.

Blogs are a great place to add audio. Blogs are generally a bit more personal and relaxed than a business website. Adding a bit of audio will help your readers get to know you and your personality. Plus, if you are in a rush and do not have time to type a post, you could simply record a few minutes of audio and post that instead.

Podcasts are very popular and new ones are being developed every day. It seems that people can’t get enough of them. Adding one to your website can give your current readers a new type of content, as well as attract new visitors.

Many internet marketers have sales pages full of great copywriting that provides product descriptions and highlights the product’s features and benefits. Creating an audio sales page would put a new spin on the standard sales page. You may not realize it, but QVC, the home shopping channel, is one of America’s largest television networks and their ratings are very high.

5 Tips for Motivating Your Assistants

Hi and welcome to marketing-guardian.blogspot.com .
I am an internet and affiliate marketer at http://www.klfad.com and an information provider at http://www.info-seekers.com .
I will teach you through these articles on how to do marketing online effectively.


There is no rule that says a small business can’t accomplish huge goals. If you have your mind set on accomplishing a huge task, you can definitely achieve it. With a team of motivated assistants, you can take on the world. Motivating people can be difficult, but it can be done. The following are some tips on how to keep your assistants motivated.

Goal setting is a powerful way to keep motivated. When your assistant has written goals they have a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished. Goals are also measurable; they are either accomplished or they aren’t. This allows your assistant to know if they are doing a good job or if they need to work harder.

Taking a few moments at the beginning of each month or each week to define goals with your assistant will keep both of you on track. Your assistant will know what is expected of him or her. This will make it easier for them to complete their assignments.

Keeping a positive environment will also help your assistants stay motivated. Even if you and your assistants live in separate states or continents, you can still create a cohesive work environment.

Perhaps you can all meet for a weekly meeting on a teleconference line or in a web conference room. Help everyone feel like a team by encouraging them to interact with one another. Let them know that they can always ask each other for help or advice if you are not available.

Giving your assistants new challenges will also do wonders for their motivation. Perhaps one of your assistants can help you organize an event or plan a new information product.

Providing lots of stimulation will keep your assistants from feeling stagnant. If someone works on one task for too long, they can get bored and their work can start to slip. Once their tasks become easy for them, give them a new assignment to take on. You may want to have two or three assistants work on a project together. They may really enjoy the interaction from working as a team.

Holding contests can also be a great motivator. You could create a team goal and if everyone works together and accomplishes the task, you could reward them with a small prize. You could also create individual goals for each team member, or have the team members compete against one another.

Of course, each person is unique and their motivation can come from a different place. What works for one assistant may not work for another. It is a good idea to keep your communication with your assistants open, and to ask them what it is that motivates them as an individual.

or get a preview copy here.


Never has there been a time when someone sits down and shows you step by step blueprints to make real money on the internet.

Furthermore, no one in the right frame of mind will show you a way to do it WITHOUT spending a single penny on advertising.

You see, the Internet is huge and millions come online to have a crack at it. Majority (99.9%) just don’t have a clue where

to start. They attempt some techniques exposed by well known internet marketing gurus, but never really make some serious

money.

Well the thing is, the owner of Google Snatch is NOT a guru. Simple down to earth guy who just knows what to do to make money

online! Best of all are the techniques he uses to dominate not only a niche market but also markets that have thousands of

competitors owned and run by large corporations.

He implements his own techniques and actually, in one word, hammers his competition. No Google Adwords to cheat, as each

click costs an expensive $100. As at the end of the day, the bigger the market, the bigger the competition, so more spending power!

Now millions are afraid to compete in big markets because the people (companies) who have the money CAN demolish their

competitors. But what he tells you is, BIG companies have more money than sense. There is no need to spend thousands of

dollars to make money online. If you have the right formula, (The FREE Click Formula) then why waste money on paid clicks.

The problem with paid advertising, whether its Google, Yahoo or MSN, you can get high placements almost instantly, but whose

clicking on your ads? I mean whose accumulating a large bill at the end of the month for you? Your competitors? Happy

clickers? Or actual ‘real’ customers?

The work involved is just as much as setting up a Google Adwords campaign. Since the Google Slap came to the scene, it was

made clear that for each keyword you bid on it requires a unique page, as a must, to achieve good popularity ranking.

So the idea is simple, yet thousands think, actually MILLIONS think, Adwords is quicker? It takes 15 minutes for the world to

see your listing! But in order to get to those 15 minutes, it takes the same time to find the keywords, create the landing

page and to get the campaign on its feet. Overall you could say it takes maybe 60 – 90 minutes, maybe more.

Once this is setup, people will actually start seeing your ads AFTER 90 minutes as the work needs to be done beforehand.

Now for the alternative, inside Google Snatch! It takes 60 minutes for the world to see your ad, PLUS you don’t pay a single

cent on a click. Yet to that matter never will you ever again pay for a click once you discovered these techniques. So this

you could say is the REAL get your Google ads for free!

It was suppose to be priced at $997, but at present it’s next to NOTHING! So go over to the website now before your

competitors use this method on you.

Never pay for Google ads ever again and let the world see your site within 60 minutes!

5 Tips to Make Your Press Release Brilliant

5 Tips to Make Your Press Release Brilliant


Press Releases can help your business gain publicity through the media. Having media attention gives your business credibility. Here are some tips to boost your press release’s appeal. .

Correct Format: There is a format that press releases need to follow. Make sure yours is written in the correct format, as you will want it to look as professional as possible. It is also a good idea to double-check the grammar, punctuation and spelling before you send it in for submission.

Keep it Clear and Concise: Your press release should be no longer than two pages. Media outlets receive lots of press releases and don’t have time to read a ten page report. Keeping your writing clear and concise allow you to fit in the important facts without going over the two page limit. As you decide what information to include, answer the following questions: who, what, why, where, when, and how.

What Is The Reader Going To Gain: Give your press releases a call to action. Include something that is going to inspire readers to go to your event, visit your website, attend your grand opening, etc. Writing a blatant ad will be obvious. Incorporate the features and benefits of what you are promoting, and give information on what it will do for your target market. If you are promoting a new food processor, simply stating that it is smaller and takes up less space than previous models isn’t enough. However, writing the information as “the new model is smaller and takes up less space, allowing our customers to have the full chopping power of our larger model, but also save precious counter space” lets the reader know how the new model will help them.

Make It Interesting: If your writing is boring, no one is going to want to read it. Try to find a balance between straight facts and excitement. Using the example of the food processor above, announcing that “our new food processor will be available this spring” isn’t as catchy as “our new space-saving food processor will be available this spring, just in time to help you chop fresh vegetables for your summer salads”.

Remember Your Target Market: As you write and submit your press releases, keep your target market in mind at all times. By keeping your audience in mind, you will be able to focus on what information to include and where to submit your press releases. For instance, if you are promoting an event related to children’s health, submitting a press release to the travel editor of your local paper isn’t going to help you.

The media cannot run a story on every press release they receive, but implementing these tips will help you write press releases that grab, and keep, the media’s attention. The old saying “practice makes perfect” rings true for press releases; the more you write them, the better you will get.
