Internet Marketing for Business Owners

Internet Marketing for Business Owners has been a challenge for most companies. The Internet is changing so fast and its extremely difficult to keep up with what works for the Business Owner. What most Business Owners want is to see results from their Internet Marketing and Social Media Marketing efforts.

Being a past Business Owner myself, I clearly understand this, in the past, they could run a direct mail campaign and measure how much new business that received. Although there is much you can track with Internet Marketing, its sometimes hard to track where the new clients are coming from.

Internet Marketing for Business Owners in 2012 can be overcome with the right training and coaching. In 2011, I created the

Internet Marketing Business Center.

From this Training Center, they can receive access to 30+ recorded videos and access to One on One coaching and training with James Hickey.

Plans for Social Media Marketing on Twitter and Facebook

The demand for more information on how to start using Facebook and Twitter for social media marketing keeps increasing based on the success of those two sites. And it has become essential that your business use these methods to advertise its products or services worldwide. So this guide will primarily show how to put this strategy into practice.

 

 

FACEBOOK Plan

 

Even though Facebook is the leading social network with 300 million users, it is still a fairly affordable way for small business to utilize its exceptional marketing possibilities. This is due to their dominant marketing program that builds up your web presence by specifically identifying your target audience.

1. Opening Two Accounts: In order to use Facebook for social media marketing, you must first have an account to become a member. After becoming a member under your own name, you need to sign up for another account with your company name. To make the most of your marketing campaign, be sure to design a Business Fan Page before registering for your company since special rules apply to users of Fan Pages. The Business Fan Page is where fans or customers of your product or services will register as “friends” or fans. Your pages will show every update from fans on their pages too.

2. Checking Competition: Spend some time looking at your competitors pages on Facebook to see how they present their campaigns. Things to check are: types of pages, amount of fans or friends, their use of photos, videos, posts. After evaluating their strengths and weaknesses try to develop a balance or the highlights and drop any that could be easily eliminated.

3. Advanced Plan For future plans, you might consider registering for a Business Account for additional visibility, but this type of account may not give you enough marketing benefits. Also since Facebook has so many restrictions on these business accounts, it makes having a Business Fan Page on a Member Account a better deal than having a Business account. A better idea, too, would be to run hyper-local ads on Facebook.

 

 

TWITTER Plan

 

Only since 2009 Twitter has grown to be the number one social bookmarking site worldwide. Small business and new entrepreneurs have used Twitter’s marketing program and Facebook’s to increase their web presence.

1. Opening Two Accounts First you need to get a Twitter account and register another account under your business name. It is a good idea to have the choice to Twit in your business name as well as your own name and also keep competitors from using your business name.

2. Checking Competition There is a simple Twitter guide to help you utilize the best marketing features for your business. Check out the Twitter homepage to see what the service has to offer regarding content. For example: Search for different terms and keywords that a baked goods business would use like—“bakery business,” “baked goods giveaways,” “cakes & breads baked goods.” Also see how your competitors use Twitter if they are already members. After this search and you are satisfied with the accessible content of your competitors, it is now the right time to effectively use Twitter to market your business.

3. Advanced Plan There are several advanced Twitter tools that are well utilized by many Twitter users, namely: TweetDeck, Seesmic and Tweetie. Another very functional tool is desktop–used specifically to get around easily in the Twitter website. It is possible to pre-define searches and create people groups in order to concentrate on accurate content. Or use a tool like Twitterfall whose function is to label and color-code searches making it easier to review.

Tsunami of Money Coming – you ready?

Sure everyone is talking doom and gloom about the economy.
If you look back over history, downturns never last forever.
In fact everything tends to go up and down over time.
I can’t tell you if it is gong to be next month, or next decade,
but things will improve, and the recession will end.

 

Here are three things to get in place to be able to take advantage
of the coming rebound when it hits.

1. Get Trained up:
Courses like my…..(insert your newest product here) are designed
to give you an advantage, so you will have the knowledge, to get
the technical pieces in place, so that when people start really
spending money, you will be standing in the way, so you can get
hit in the face with it.

2. Credit Reports Don’t last forever (your reputation does):
OK, so your house did a short sale, and you defaulted on a few credit cards.
Time to put on your big boy or girl pants, and face that fact.
It happened to a lot of Americans who weren’t prepared for bad financial times.
Now it’s time to get a credit check and access the damage.
If you have defaults and horrid things on your credit, suck it up and talk to your creditors
now and see what they can do. Remember most bad things on your credit report only
stay on for 7 years, and that clock starts ticking today.

3. Work Harder:
Sure, I have read the 4 minute work week books, and the "work smarter not harder" philosophy.
Well guess what? America didn’t work harder, and we weren’t smart enough to pull it off the lazy way.
I didn’t get where I am from not working hard. I have worked hard, and smart and pulled it off,
so now I get to kick back a little. You are going to have to work smart and hard now. The reward
is that if you do that now, and build your fortress, then when the money starts flying you will be
in a good position to capture it. Oh, and by the way, if you really work smart and hard, you can
get rich in a bad economy like this too.

 

That will get you started, there will be more to come in future blogs… so stay tuned.
