Let’s face it, seeking to gain exposure on the Internet isn’t really that simple. There’s the need to set up your sales funnels, generate traffic, build relationships with your followers and amongst it all, close leads into your business or sell them on your product or service.
Here’s the bottom line, it takes a serious strategy to be able to compete in this industry, let alone make money in it.
Don’t get discouraged however, because today I’m going to share with you 2 Key strategies that aren’t that common, and that you’ll rarely hear people sharing when speaking of marketing online.
#1. Share Your Story
What most people have to realize about the Internet is that although people are looking for solutions to their problems and insight on specific topics, they are also drawn to others through stories that they identify with.
You see, people want information but they also seek out relationships. Not in the deep sense of the word, but they like to see people that make the information real. Showing the practicality of the situation so they can see how that topic or scenario could relate to their lives.
For example, someone may be seeking a job on the internet, and may spend hours online googling information while looking for a job. However, at the same time, in the back of their minds, they’re wondering “is there any way that I can do what I love while working from home and making money”.
So they google “work from home” and a video pops up that you created titled “How I was able to work from home doing what I love”. They spend the next few minutes watching your video while daydreaming that your story can soon become theirs, then next thing you know, they’re opting into your website, calling the number or taking action on the call to action that you had in your video.
You have now generated a lead from one simple strategy !!
It doesn’t get any easier than that!
#2: Be You & Let Your Voice Be Heard
I’m thinking that one of the reasons why so many people struggle online is because they’re seeking approval from the “gurus” to ensure that everything they do is up to par with what others think is good enough.
I can recall not writing an article or shooting a video until I researched about 10+ sites, just to see if I formatted things the same way, If I placed the words in the write place, if my keywords were acceptable and if I had a similar voice of those that I was researching.
Today, I’ve realized that in order to stand out amongst the competition, you don’t seek to be like them, you seek to be you! The truth is, there’s really no rules for how you say what you say, and there isn’t a board of internet directors that are going to point the finger at you for daring to be different.
Having a voice that’s displayed in your marketing is the most attractive thing you can ever commit to doing. It will draw people to you for who you really are and it will stir up buzz around you being a “fresh voice” in the industry that people are excited about.
If you implement these 2 key strategies in your marketing efforts, you’ll find that you’ll never worry about generating leads or developing content. Get used to speaking your mind, sharing your thoughts and giving your opinions even if it doesn’t fit into the status quo.
Landing Page Success Tips

Also known as “squeeze page” or “lead capture page”, you can build your mailing list by funneling all of your would-be subscribers through the creation of a landing page. Not only do you do the work just once, your traffic driving efforts can be focused onto just one effective method.
The following are tips in creating a successful landing page that converts visitors into subscribers on a very huge percentage.
Success Tip 1: Offer a freebie in exchange for your visitor’s email address. I completely endorse this method of building your mailing list. You can offer a special report, some sort of training or a sample of your paid product to your visitor in exchange for their details such as name and email address.
Success Tip 2: The landing page must be written professionally. When writing your page, treat it as if you are writing a sales letter. While you are not necessarily making a hard sale or try to get someone to buy your product upfront, being able to entice your visitors to give their details to you is just as important as selling.
Success Tip 3: Other than your opt-in form and perhaps important disclaimers and terms, there shouldn’t be any other links on your landing page.
Success Tip 4: You should focus most of the attention of the letter on encouraging your prospective visitor to download your free offer. Later, you gently remind your prospect that he or she has nothing to pay but just merely subscribe to your newsletter in exchange for the freebie.
As a final reminder, in order to build trust, you can include your hand-written signature or a photo of yourself explaining where you are coming from and how you can help your visitor through your free report on offer.
7 Ways To Advertise Your Business For Free

1. Free directories: directories are perfect for customers that are searching for a particular topic. What’s great about them is that you only have to post once and they are good for long periods of time. It saves you a lot of your time when you don’t have to resubmit your information every week or every month. The bad news is most of your traffic won’t come from here but I still feel it’s worth it to get your link out there. Just take one day and set it aside for posting to free directories. You won’t need to do it again for at least 6 months.
2. Classified Ads: These are great for work from home businesses. Think about it, where do people go when they are looking for a job? That’s right-the classifieds. The only downside to classified ads is that you have to resubmit them quite frequently. However, once you find which classifieds bring you the most traffic you can concentrate on them and weed the others out.
3. Free article submissions/ezines: The best way to inform others about your product or service is to write an article about it. In your authors resource box, you can tell readers about yourself and where they can go to check out your product or service. This is also an excellent way to get free links to your site if you have one. There are a lot of webmasters out there who are looking for good articles they can post on their site. If they post yours, that is another site that is doing the advertising for you. All for free.
4. URL Submissions: Probably the quickest and easiest thing to do to advertise your site. Just type “Free URL submission” in your search engine. When you get a list just enter the URL you are promoting and click submit. That’s it. It takes a few seconds and your done.
5. Forum Posts: Put your product or service website in your signature file when you sign up for forums. It’ll be displayed every time you make a post. Try to look for topics that you have some knowledge on, and can give a relevant answer too. DO NOT spam anyone, that will get you kicked off the forum and get you a bad reputation. Get involved asking and answering questions that pertain to your area of business. Forums are great because once you make a post it stays there forever. It will get moved to the archives eventually, but someone could still find it if they were searching the archives. Yes, there are a lot of people who do.
6. Traffic Exchanges: Probably the most time consuming way to advertise for free, but effective. Most forums I have visited have said in many posts that they received a lot of their profit from traffic exchanges. If you don’t want to spend the time surfing for credits, you do have the option of buying them.
7. News-groups: Become involved in a group that has to do with your kind of business. You can usually mail the group once per day, but I would encourage you to find something fresh to talk about each day. People will tune you out if they see the same message all the time. Remember to NEVER Spam anyone. Only join groups with the same interests as yours. In other words, don’t sign up for a scrap booking group when you are advertising car parts.
Hope this has given you some insight and help on harnessing the power of free advertisement. Remember, free is a good thing especially when starting out and funds are low!

Let’s say you started up your own business. The only way for the business to succeed rather than fail is for you to promote it. You can do this by paying for advertisements or get the same attention for free through article marketing. To help you get started, here are 3 secrets i have found to work.
1. First, you must come up with a catchy title to promote your business. Ever heard the line, “Curiosity killed the cat”, in this case no one is going to get hurt. But could you just imagine what would happen if people would like to know more about the article just by reading the title? It would also be helpful if you use keywords so people who type it will see your article. At the same time, you can mention the benefits of what reading your articles can do for them.
2. Second, make sure that your article is well organized. Instead of just writing your article paragraph by paragraph, maximize the use bullets or numbers to stress important points. This will make their reading experience a memorable one because they will be able to remember it.
3. Third, your articles have to be informative and not just impress the reader. You can do so by using simple words instead of using big ones by putting this in a way that the average person can understand. You may have had an experience at the hospital where the doctor told you of your condition using some medical term that sounds serious but in English simply means you have a stomach ache.
Once you are finished writing the article, read it over and see if you understand it. Even better, give it to someone and see what they say. If there are some concerns, edit it because although you may be an expert in this matter, your readers may not and the reason why they want to read it is to learn more about what you have to offer.
Don’t forget to check on your article to see if there is anything new you would like to add. This is where variety comes in as there are different ways of stressing a point when the bottom line is that you want people to visit your site.
You can get new information by joining and posting in online forums and blogs. Some may even put snippets in their articles. You should add something daily and don’t forget to put a link to your site.
4. Finally, each article has an article summary. Most websites require this so in just 3 or 5 sentences, get down to it and say what your article is all about and why should they spend their time reading the entire thing. If you don’t put any effort here, you may have already lost the opportunity to make it look interesting for the reader to find out more.
Promoting your site through article marketing is very easy. You just have to follow the 4 secrets mentioned and then use this to your advantage. Again, you need to have a catchy title, make sure it is well organized and informative so people will be encouraged to visit your site.
If done properly, you will undoubtedly get more traffic which is what this form of advertising is all about.

There is one hard and fast rule in generating income for your website: A steady flow of website traffic. If no one goes to your site, it hardly bares a chance of generating an income. Many sites have tried and failed in doing so, and these results to the sites demise. It takes money to maintain an income generating site; it also takes money to make money.
BUT, it doesn’t take a whole ton of cash to generate website traffic for your site.
Ever wonder how big hit sites drive traffic top their site? Most of them are spending tons of money to drive the traffic to their sites, investing in many advertising campaigns and different forms of marketing schemes and gimmicks. This is all worthwhile because, well, they are what they are now, high earning, big hitting websites.
You don’t have to do this if you don’t really have their resources. There are many ways to generate low cost website traffic without having to spend what you don’t have or can’t afford. Many people have banked on high cost methods and have ended up losing their shirts over it.
Here I present to you the Top five ways to generate low cost website traffic that could help your site a whole lot. Even if you only get a small percentage of successful visitors in to client ratio it still works especially if you get a high number of website traffic.
Exchange Links
This is a sure and proven method. Rarely would you see a site where there is no link to another site. Many webmasters are willing to exchange links with one another so that they could produce more public awareness about their sites. You’ll soon see and feel the sudden upsurge of the traffic coming in to your site from other sites.
A major prerequisite in exchanging links with other sites is having the same niche or content as the other site. They should share a common subject so that there is continuity in the providing of service and information to what interests your target traffic.
Exchanging links also boosts your chances of getting a high ranking in search engine results. It is common knowledge that search engines ranks high sites that have inbound and outbound theme-related links. With a good ranking position in the search engines, you will generate more traffic in your website without the high costs.
Traffic Exchange
This is like exchanging links but on a different higher level. This may cost a bit more than exchanging or trading links but could be made cheaper because you get to earn credits. You can use those credits when viewing others traffic, while you earn credits when someone views yours.
Traffic exchange services are the viewing of another’s site or page. This is done vice versa where a site can use your sites contents and so can you to his or her site. You both benefit from each others efforts to generate traffic. The other sites visitors can go to your pages and know more about your site as well as theirs. Once again the public awareness of your sites existence is boosted.
Write and Submit Articles
There are many e-zines and online encyclopedias in the internet which provides free space for articles to be submitted. If you want to save costs, you can do the articles yourself. There are many freelance writers who are willing to write for you for a small fee, but to save money, it is wise to do those articles yourself.
Write articles that are themed along with the niche of your site. Write something that you have expertise on so that when they read it, they can feel your knowledge about the subject and will be eager to go to your site. Write articles that produce tips and guidelines to the subject or niche your site has.
Include a resource box at the end of your article that can link them to your site. Write a little about yourself and your site. If you provide a light, information-laden and interesting article, they will go to your site for more.
Make a Newsletter.
This may sound like hard work because of all the articles you may need to use to build a newsletter but on the contrary, this is not so. There are many writers and sites that are willing to provide free articles as long as they can get their name in on your newsletter. This will also provide free advertising for them as well.
As your newsletter gets pass around, you can widen your public awareness and build an opt-in list that can regularly visit your site.
Join Online Communities and Forums
This only requires your time and nothing else. You can share your knowledge and expertise with many online communities as well as your website. You can get free advertising when you go to forums that have the same subject or niche with your site.
Share your two cents and let them see how knowledgeable you are with the subject. As you build your reputation, you also build the reputation of your site, making it a reputable and honest business that could be frequented and trusted by many people.
A Great Idea For a Blogging Web Site is No Longer Enough
Posted onSeptember 15, 2011
Filed under Blog and tagged blogging, blogs, niche | 4 Comments
Because there are so many blogs and web sites about
blogs on the internet, it can be tough to distinguish your
blogging web site from all of the others. Whether you
are starting up a new web site aimed at bloggers or
whether you are looking to make your existing blogging
site more distinctive, the key to building and
maintaining a site that will capture the interest and
attention of the blogging community is finding your
niche. If you can fill a unique need in a way that no
other web site does, you’ll be able to build a lasting
readership among web surfers. Once you have
discovered a niche, you will still have a lot to do, but
finding your place in the blogosphere is the place to
begin.
Every great blogging web site starts with a great idea,
and you can’t build a successful site that will last
without one. There are many great sites aimed at
today’s bloggers, and competition for the attention of
this growing demographic is fierce. To make your
blogging web site stand out from the pack, you will
need to offer something that no other site is currently
offering, or you will need to do the same thing that an
already popular site does but in a more impressive or
valuable way.
One way to discover an ideal model for your blogging
web site is to look at the sites that have successfully
captured a blogging audience already to determine if
you can appropriate some of their strategies to help
realize your vision. Of course, you will also need to add
a unique flair to your project in order to stand apart
from your competition. Many people agree that the web
sites that do the best in today’s market are the sites that
have the most personality. The fiercely individual
surfers who are bloggers are a demographic that
responds especially strongly to personality, so consider
how you can give your site a unique and attractive
feeling by lending your own voice and sensibility to
your site’s design and content.
Once you have a great idea for your site,and you have
pinpointed a special niche that you are well equipped to
fill, and have infused the site with personality, the next
step is figuring out how to get the word out to bloggers.
In the long run, a great idea just isn’t enough to propel
your blogging web site to success. You will need to
draft a smart and realistic marketing plan in order to
draw readers to your site. Once you hook a blogger,
your great content will keep them coming back, but it is
vital to get that first glance or your site won’t have a
chance to shine.

It’s no secret that the Internet is becoming very crowded with the noise from people who want to constantly share their business opportunity. From facebook to twitter to massive email and mobile marketing spam messages, everyone is trying to get your attention to beg you to buy their product or partner with them.
As crowded as it all seems however, there are a few “pink elephants” in the room, that no one wants to talk about that can cripple your business and demolish any efforts you put into marketing online.
If you want to avoid these headaches and win your audience over, then you’ll need to listen up!
There are 2 common challenges that I see happening consistently throughout our industry that very few people are willing to talk about. What I’m going to do today is expose them, while showing you my dirty little secret to how I’ve overcome them to build a stronger presence online!
- Internet Marketing generates tons of leads but it is a lot of work!
In today’s world, there’s simply no way that you can “NOT” have an Internet Presence and utilize social media sites, blogs and other methods to expose your business. HOWEVER, this process is very very time consuming, and can often distract you from building your business.
For this very reason, I’ve been strongly committed to finding ways to simplify this challenge, and partner with businesses and services that I can delegate some of the more unwanted tasks on my list, and hand them off.
In my search to delegate key tasks that are needed consistently in my Online Marketing efforts, I chose to partner with services like Prospex Epic Sponsoring ,so that I can begin alleviating the burden of finding ways to market online.

It’s obvious that Internet Marketing and social media are the latest buzzwords in all facets of business these days. And it seems that it’s becoming more and more challenging to “stand out in the crowd” to get others to take notice of you.
This challenge is actually a myth and can be easily resolved in a few easy steps that I’m going to share with you.
What most people don’t realize is that despite the millions of people online, very few people are consistently building value and providing content to their target market to make them want to come back for more, and ultimately do business with you.
The key to building a powerful brand and presence online is this:
¨ Be consistent in your marketing efforts
¨ Provide endless value to your target market
¨ Know what your target market wants, and give it to them
¨ Keep your content relevant on your blog to get ranked higher in the search engines
¨ Go above and beyond with your content, and provide high quality (not junk), to stand out from all the others who provide mediocre content
With using the Prospex Epic Sponsoring ,you are able to satisfy all of the areas above. They have a dedicated team of Network Marketing Professionals who are 150% committed to making sure that they give you exactly what they would do for themselves for their own websites.
¨ Being consistent – they have tons of new content being delivered for you to utilize for your blog, article marketing, list building and social media needs. (I highly recommend you start using this, rather than working yourself into a frenzy and trying to wing it).
¨ Provide endless value –I’ve become an avid user of their products for this very reason, knowing that I’ll get a high quality training that’s written and designed to appeal to my audience, which is why you need to go check out a few of their products to see for yourself.
¨ Know what your market wants – the beauty about Prospex Epic Sponsoring is that it is created by an experienced Internet Network Marketer who has taught thousands of people all over the world, and has dealt directly with the needs of “your target market”. I’m confident in saying that I know he knows what the needs are, and how to provide solutions, which takes the headache away from me trying to determine how to service the marketplace properly!
¨ Keep your content relevant – all of the topics are focused on the specifics of what people want “today”. You will not find a bunch of fluff here. Instead, they provide ton’s of quality content on topics like lead generation, increasing sales, closing, recruiting, prospecting, marketing, etc. and they are up to date on all the latest trends of the industry.
¨ Go above and beyond – by utilizing the content, you will be able to consistently provide value to your audience that will make them come back for more and view you as the expert. Everything they have created is extensively valuable, which is why I’ve boasted about them endlessly in this post.
When it comes to overcoming the challenges of dealing with all of the Internet Marketing day to day tasks, as well as wanting to stand out amongst your competition, but your not sure how, using the tips I shared above is a great way to become a more dominant and respectable force and leader in the industry.
The guru’s would never reveal their secrets about how they maintain their presence, but in this post, I just did!

- Do you work on building your network marketing business every day?
We have all heard it said over and over in many different ways that 90% of all people who join a network marketing company will fail to make any real money at it and many of them will even loose money.
The fact is that the majority of people who are failing at network marketing have never bothered to actually work on their business.
How can you fail at something if you don’t bother to do it to begin with? That’s nonsense and it’s trash statistics like this that discourage good, hardworking people from joining the industry.
The facts about building a successful network marketing business are really extremely simple: you have to do the work. And you have to do it every sing day. Consistency in your marketing efforts is key. Not just any work, but the right work. So what is the right work for building a successful network marketing business?
Prospecting, prospecting, and then do some more Prospecting!!
To overcome struggling in the network marketing business, you have to get comfortable talking to people about network marketing.
In the era of the internet it can be easy to hide behind your computer screen and pretend like you’re working on building your network marketing business. While the internet is a fantastic tool for supporting your efforts especially if you’re utilizing a top notch marketing system like Prospex Epic Sponsoring , you will still continue struggling to build your network marketing business unless you get on the ball and get a system in place.
If you’re in a high quality network marketing company, you should be getting all kinds of support from your upline leaders. If you’re not, you need to start calling them immediately and asking for help. If they’re not supporting you, then you’re not in a very good network marketing company and you may have some decisions to make about that.
