Do You Achieve As Much As You Expect to?

I have so many things I want to set in motion for my business but it all takes time, longer than I expect. I think I will get so much done when I sit at my laptop. I am quite disciplined and settle down about 9 am, sometimes before, and usually I have already written an article in note form ready to upload, but where does the time go?

I recently watched a webinar stating how good video marketing is both for direct traffic and via Google. I have spent several days watching videos on the simplest ways of creating videos for YouTube. I saw a video about using a web-cam on your laptop and creating it directly to YouTube but that is no longer possible.

I then decided power-point and audacity would be the answer, it sounded quite plausible on the video. As I don't have power-point and couldn't find a program to down load, I connected to power-point live and made my presentation, plus my sound track, only to find I needed a laptop version to combine them. Back to square one! I then downloaded movie-maker, made my slides and voice over, but the end result was pretty poor, so next I'll try camera recording! I think I need many more hours practice!

Another webinar I watched was a new twist on Facebook advertising, but I still have to find time to implement it. I have recently discovered kindle blogs and am in the process of uploading over 300 articles I have written, to kindle. This is another way to get traffic to my website. I am also adding them to "dig".

Back-links I'm told are essential and I should enlist paid help via Fiverr to set them up. Oh and I plan to set up a weekly newsletter with all manner of interesting links. I love what I am doing but would love a magic wand to implement them all immediately.

One day it will all be in place and I will be satisfied with it all, meanwhile I shall keep ploughing through my plans. It is true once you get used to doing something new, you soon become quicker at it; but then there is something else to learn!

So if you are looking for an interesting, exciting hobby business, that never leaves you wondering what you will do with your time, affiliate marketing could be the answer. There is always something new and challenging to learn, and great satisfaction at your achievements.

For a simple start enlist the guidance of a good mentor so that you can start earning as you learn the techniques. This is the simplest quickest way to get started; working with a mentor who provides excellent products, sales pages and training. This saves you the hassle of sourcing products deciding which will be best-sellers, building websites and learning marketing before you begin earning. So plan for the future NOW. join the band of entrepreneurs, make some choices in your life, don't leave it all to the nanny state.

Make 2016 a year to remember!

How To Write A Good Online Newsletter

By Donna L Walsh  |   Submitted On February 09, 2016

  

All internet marketers agree that in order to become successful, you must have a list of potential customers that you can promote to over and over again. One of the easiest ways to grow and sustain a list is by publishing an online newsletter on a frequent basis.

Graphics and a good layout are important to the attractiveness of a newsletter. However, to appeal to and keep your subscribers, a newsletter must provide quality information in the niche that your readers are interested in.

In order to write a good newsletter, you must first define the niche your newsletter will be about. Since you can't be everything for ever body, you may want to narrow the niche. For example, instead of your niche being internet marketing which is extremely broad, narrow it down to something like website development. This is still a very large subject that gives you a lot of leeway so you will have plenty to write about. But by concentrating only on website development, it will be easier for you to become known as an expert in this niche instead of a jack of all trades.

Do not narrow your niche so much that you have trouble writing anything on the subject. Also remember that the real purpose of a newsletter is to grow a list of potential customers that you can promote products and/or services to. So you do not want to narrow the niche so much that there are very few products available that you can offer to your subscribers. While you will want to create products yourself, if the niche is too narrow, you will quickly run out of ideas for new products.

Once you have decided on your niche, you need to define your audience. Are you writing for newbies, those with some internet marketing experience, or advanced internet marketers? Of course, your audience will also depend on how well you know your subject. You can't write articles for advanced internet marketers unless you know your subject very well and can give them new insights. However, you can easily research and write articles meant for newbies and mid-level marketers.

Decide how often you want to publish your newsletter taking into account the amount of time it takes to research, write, layout and edit an issue. While publishing a newsletter every day sounds like a great idea, you will soon find out that you spend all of your time getting your newsletter ready for publication with no time left over for important things such as product creation and setting up sales campaigns.

Instead, publish your newsletter weekly, twice per week at the very most. However, you do not want to go longer than a week in between issues. Do not publish erratically or too infrequently. Doing so will alienate your readers who may forget that they even subscribed to your newsletter As a result, they may unsubscribe and possibly report your email as spam.

Decide on how you will layout your newsletter. You will want to include a greeting, your name, the name of your newsletter, and the issue number. For example:

Hi [FIRST NAME], 

This is [YOUR NAME]. Welcome to the [ISSUE NUMBER] issue of [YOUR NEWSLETTER NAME]. 

You may then want to include a disclaimer such as this which reminds your subscriber that they did join your list:

You are receiving this message because you ordered one or more products and/or subscribed to one or more of our Newsletters and/or eCourses and agreed to receive emails from me through a double op*t-in procedure.

The email address {!email} was subscribed to receive this information on {!signdate long} at the following URL:

{!add_url}.

If you no longer wish to receive any communication from me, just click on the unsubscribe link at the end of this email.

PLEASE NOTE: The periods are included in known spam words. The tags are for the autoresponder used.

The next section might be an announcement/editorial section where you tell your subscribers about upcoming events, wish them a happy upcoming holiday, or tell them about anything interesting.

If you want to include a tips or product review article, place it here. This should be short, no more than 350 words.

Next would be your featured article.

If you want to include a secondary article, include that after your featured article.

Now say good bye. Include a notice that you will be sending them promotional emails. For example:

That wraps up another week's newsletter. I hope you enjoyed this issue. Don't forget to send me any comments or questions you may have. I would be only too happy to help you in any way that I can.

From time to time I'll send you important updates that will provide information that has the potential to greatly improve your online business... and of course your profits!

However, you can rest assured that I will only ever recommend products that are considered to be of HIGH value and will provide indisputably benefits to help you grow your business.

If there is a particular subject you would like me to write about, please send me an email and let me know!

I want to write articles that interest YOU. But I have no way of knowing what that is unless you tell me. So please take a couple of minutes and let me know what you want to learn about. 

Have a great week

[YOUR NAME]

[YOUR WEBSITE(S)] 

Then include something about recommending your newsletter to your reader's friends.

If you like [YOUR NEWSLETTER NAME] recommend us to your friends.

[URL TO YOUR SUBSCRIPTION FORM] 

Lastly, include all your legal information.

If you use a first rate autoresponder, it will include required information at the end such as your physical address or PO Box and an unsubscribe link.

This layout will work for just about all newsletters. It is recommended that you use HTML for your newsletter so you can include graphics with your articles, a picture of you by your signature, etc. You will also be able to bold, highlight, and colorize important areas of your newsletter thereby making it more visually appealing.

PLEASE NOTE: Including a picture of yourself will help to build a rapport with your subscribers as they will see you as a real person, not just a name.

Before publishing your newsletter, be sure to proofread, edit and change anything that does not flow correctly.

Traffic is like oxygen to your web site. It is what keeps your site alive and profitable. Without traffic, your web site is 'dead' and you cannot make any money, period. For that reason one of the top questions I always get asked is "How Do I Get Traffic To My Website?" It really doesn't have to be a mystery to figure out how to get traffic to your site. Also, it's best to stick with a select handful of ways that are proven effective.

Are there other ways? Absolutely, but it's still best to use only the methods that are proven to work well and only take a small amount of both time and money to implement.

Here are eight excellent traffic-generating methods:

1. Search Engine Listings

The best of traffic there is. Free! Concentrate on making Google-friendly pages. Other search engines are important also, but Google should be at the top of the list for anyone.

2. Affiliate Program

Happily pay many affiliates every month. They work hard for you, and you should have no problem sharing the profits. Building a strong affiliate program is a critical element to really increase your profits.

3. Opt-in Mailing Lists

By capturing as many email addresses as possible with your newsletters, it can generate some very nice, targeted traffic.

4. Pay-per-click Search Engines

Paying for targeted traffic is worth it because you know exactly how much per click is profitable for you. Here are some great choices: Google AdWords, Overture, Kanoodle, Findwhat, and 7search.

5. Forum postings

It's a good idea to frequent several forums and to make sure that you include a "resource box" or "signature text" with a link back to your sites. Don't post anything unless it is meant to provide someone with helpful information.

6. Write Ezine Articles

Ezine editors gladly publish quality articles, and in return you get targeted traffic to your site. Its a win/win situation.

7. Ezine Ads

The key to paying for ezine ads is tracking your results. If you find out the ads are worth your money, then you keep it up.

8. Trading Links

If done with the right site, you can get some traffic to your site. You may not necessarily get a flood of it, but every bit counts.

Many site owners spread themselves thin by traffic every new traffic tactic that comes available. By using as many of these basic techniques as possible, your site can thrive with the traffic that is coming to it.

Why Email Newsletters Are a Powerful Marketing Strategy?

By Anne Gill  |   Submitted On March 23, 2016

  

A newsletter is the most valuable and cost-effective marketing tool today to build new relationships and market your business. Especially for registered dietitians, nutritionists and fitness experts, sending a nutrition newsletter monthly helps maintain regular contact with their clients.

Developing a newsletter is one of the smartest investments a business can make. For one, it's a great way of promoting the business' name as well as attract and retain existing and potential customers. However, at first glance, one might feel discouraged at the idea of developing a professional newsletter. After all, designing and creating an email nutrition newsletter as a marketing tool takes a lot of time and effort. It involves knowledge of design and most importantly the availability of rich, informative content.

Readymade newsletter templates

The solution lies in ready-made newsletter templates that contain all the components of a newsletter design from layout, color, matching fonts and so on. You do not need to be tech-savvy in order to create a newsletter design. Select a newsletter template and customize it according to your business header, logo and color and you are ready with a great marketing tool in just a matter of few minutes.

Well-written and informative content

The undeniable fact is that nowadays people are bombarded with all types of emails, newsletters and other forms of advertising. Your target audience has a short attention span. On Internet, readers scan for content that interests them rather than read. You need to stand out and grab the attention of your audience within that short span of time with rich, informative content.

Superfluous content will add no value to your email newsletter marketing strategy. In fact, all your efforts will go down the drain, if your newsletter doesn't provide relevant content.

Take help of ready-made newsletter content

The most common challenge most people face is that they simply do not have the time to write the newsletter content. Or they have to struggle with the idea of writing it. The quick solution lies in using customized newsletter content that provides access to prewritten articles which you can integrate directly into your email newsletters.

For instance, a nutritionist or a dietitian can incorporate articles on varied health related topics such as nutrition, yoga, weight management in their nutrition newsletters and send it to their clients right away.

The readily available nutritional information makes it convenient for health experts to regularly send scheduled nutrition newsletter to potential customers without worrying about the content part. You just need to click on the nutritional article you want and your nutrition newsletter is ready to be delivered.

Use email marketing solution

Take advantage of an email marketing program that makes sending newsletters a convenient process. Email marketing services let you manage subscribers list, add new subscribers, send email newsletters, view and track results easily.

Combined with readymade newsletter content, design and email marketing program, you can launch an effective and successful email marketing campaign with just a few clicks. Such ready-made newsletter tools are worth the money for making your email newsletter campaign a successful marketing strategy.
