Business Opportunities – Marketing With Intention

There is nothing self-explanatory when it comes to bringing market exposure to your business opportunities. With that being said, your online business will suffer if you are unable to master at least one or two of the marketing methods which are at your disposal. The good news is that there are several ways to get the targeted traffic that you need. We will discuss three of those methods in this article.

Article Marketing – I start with this method of marketing because it is what I spend most of my time on. The reason being that it offers more than one benefit. How article marketing works, is that you the article marketer must compose informative articles which address topics which are important to your niche market. Thereafter, you will submit your articles to several of the top article directories. Each time that you submit an article to a directory, there is a resource box at the bottom which gives you the opportunity to link back to your money making website. This is relevant for two reasons. One, you will get almost immediate targeted traffic to your website, and two, you will obtain one way links pointing to your website. One way links are important because they are in large part responsible for the search engine rankings of a website.

Video Marketing – Nearly everyone knows that Google is the busiest search engine in the world. However, do you know what the second busiest search engine is? Don’t you dare answer Yahoo or Bing. The fact is that the second busiest search engine in the world is YouTube. This is why video marketing is so important. Simply submitting your videos to YouTube alone will produce a significant amount of targeted traffic to your website. However, to fully take advantage of video marketing, you have to be sure to place a prominent call to action on your video. Tell the viewer what they need to do next.

Pay Per Click Marketing – PPC marketing is the fastest way to send targeted traffic to your website. However, unlike the previous two methods, it is not at all free. Therefore, in order to experience success with this mode of marketing, testing your conversion rates for each targeted keyword is essential. Furthermore, you do not want to engage in what I refer to as the “Hi and Bye Method” with PPC in which you simply drive traffic to a website with a “Buy Now” button. Rather, you want to drive traffic to a website with an opt-in form so that you can capture you visitors’ email addresses and market to them in the future.

While PPC marketing will result in the greatest immediate exposure to your business opportunities, it also requires the greatest hands on analysis. If you do not pay close attention to your conversion rates, you can lose a lot of money quickly. In the case of both article and video marketing, these take quite a bit more time and effort, but offer long-term results. Quite frequently both articles and videos rank quite prominently in the search engines for keywords which are relevant to your niche market. However, if you combine all three marketing methods, you will be taking full advantage of your business opportunities, as least from a marketing standpoint.

3 Traps For Freelance Writers

Freelance Writing Traps

300 1048942 Business Opportunities   Marketing With Intention

Are you new to freelance writing? If your career’s not booming, you’re stumbling into pitfalls: there are more writing jobs around than writers willing to accept them. Buyers of writing are desperate for competent writers.

I’ve been writing for over 30 years, and if there’s one thing I love about the Internet age, it’s this — the unending, limitless work for writers. It’s a great time to build a writing career, if you avoid making common errors.

A common pitfall is waiting to write until you’re hired. Writers write. The most common fatal pitfall for freelance writers is waiting until you have a writing job before you write.

Don’t be like a runner who lies around all day until the big meet. Runners train so they can go fast when the situation warrants. Writers write so they can be creative in everything they write.

Ensure that you write each day. If you don’t, your writing abilities will be less sharp. Moreover, if you write every single day, you’ll be amazed at how many writing jobs flow to you.

Another pitfall is failing to follow up with clients and prospects. People get busy. When you send a query, follow up. When you’ve completed a writing job for a client, get in touch within a month and propose a new project.

If you’ve been writing for a while, you’ve honed your skills enough that you can insist on a deposit (also known as a retainer) before you start work. Not doing this can hurt your career because there is always the risk of getting scammed. Not only will you not be paid but your frustration with that client can rob you of your creative powers.

For new writers, a huge pitfall is expecting high payments immediately. If you’re a new writer, completing jobs is more important than how much you’re paid. At this stage in your career, you have no standards of comparison. You’re new to writing, so expect to spend some time paying your dues.

In a nutshell: you can solve all your writing woes with more writing. Write more and you’ll write better. Always aim to write “long.” This means that if you’re asked to write a short article, write double the number of words you’ll send the client. This ensures that your edited article will be more powerful.

Writing has many traps, but remember that the more you write, the stronger your writing, and the more your skills improve. Over time, you’ll become a sought-after writer, because you write quality material.
