In this article I am going to teach you about another method of traffic building that I call content marketing. You will learn what it is, how it can build your business and how to do it.

There are several methods of driving traffic to you business. In past articles I taught you some of the low cost methods. Content marketing is another very good low cost method of driving traffic to you info marketing business. Some examples of content marketing are articles, blogs, articles, videos, eBooks, audio courses. There are still more but that is enough to get started.

So how do you get started with Content Marketing?

Basically you start creating content. You can write an article, then submit it to the article directories. You could post it as a blog or on a website. The idea is to get it published online. Then people will see it, if they like it they will recommend it or publish on their websites. That is called viral marketing. Getting other folks to advertise your article all over the web for you. This could continue on and on, from friend to friend or website to website until there are thousands of views of it.

This could be any type of content you choose. You could use a video, or audios and post them on video sites. The same thing can happen. Then at the end of your article or video just be sure to include a call to action. Whether it is a link to your squeeze page or to your website or affiliate offer. Just make sure you take advantage of all those people that are viewing your content.

The viral part of this is what helps you to build your business. The search engines might pick it up and index it. Then you have a whole lot more chances for people to see your content and your call to action.

How do you do content marketing to build your business?

Lets say you start writing an article every day and publish it on the internet. Let’s just do 5 a week to start. In a month you could have 20-25 articles written. Keep that up for 6 months and you could have over 100 articles published online.

Now, take those articles and record them as audios, a video, maybe a blog post and you have hundreds of hours of teachable material that many folks will be glad to pay for.

To promote this content you created you could subscribe to forums that are in your niche and talk about your products. Eventually folks will ask for your links and begin visiting your sites and buying your products.

At the same time, while creating these teachings, you could be promoting some good affiliate products that will help your readers even more. They will appreciate your recommendations. That would make your articles and videos get that much more traffic to build up your info marketing business.

Internet Marketing Guide – 4 Content Marketing Miscues

SEO Tool: Basic Editorial Plan @TopRank

Content Marketing helps with ranking

[Editor's note: The term "content marketing" is gaining traction in the niche marketing communities. While not a new concept, content marketing is still receiving a lot of press because it offers a potential solution to the recent algorithm changes served up by Google. The following guest article takes a look at four specific content marketing mistakes and how to avoid them. Are you using content marketing in your on-line strategy? Let me know how that is working out for you by leaving me a comment below.  ~Scott]

 

By Darren W Chow

Internet marketing campaigns revolve around 3 things – search engine optimization, social media and content marketing. These marketing efforts are referred to as pull strategies. These are the marketing efforts that are designed to “pull in” your target clients, instead of pushing them to make favorable buying decisions.

The oft-repeated adage in Internet marketing – content is king – remains as relevant as ever. After all these emerging developments and shifts, the content of your Webpage remains to be the lynchpin of Internet marketing. Search engines scour the pages of your Website to assess if such pages measure up to the search query. On the other hand, your target readers will follow the content of your blogs, whitepapers, articles, etc. in order to get a clear picture of the product or services that you are offering.

This means that you need to generate quality content to build your reputation online. You have to exert extra effort to show that you are a trusted and reliable source of information. Thus, if you want to hit the jackpot in your Internet marketing campaign, you have to work on your content.

There are 4 common pitfalls that you must avoid in your Internet marketing campaign. These are the following:

Inadequate Fresh Content

Fresh content is the lifeblood of content marketing. This may appear to be a perfect case of redundancy. How would you perceive a blog site where the latest post is already a few weeks old? Blogs that are generally stagnant are considered by readers as fairly useless and won’t waste their time reading through the content. You are losing out on the opportunity to rank well at Google since each of the posts in your blog can target various keywords and these can help improve your online presence.

Connecting With the Wrong Audience

Follow the basic rule in marketing – profile your potential clients. You must monitor who are reading your blog posts regularly. Carefully assess if you are missing out on some earning opportunities from other segments of the market. Determine what your priorities are. Do you want to build your reputation as an expert in a particular field or niche? Or do you want to share information with your target clients? You must also get a good grip of the online behavior of your target readers and find out what they are looking for when they browse the Web.

Coming Off As a Hard Sell

You will surely mess up your Internet marketing campaign if you treat your content marketing as your medium in selling your product or service. You have to remember that your primary objective is not to sell but to market your product or service. You are into content marketing to “help” your potential clients. Your readers will surely not appreciate it if you sound a bit too “promotional” when you provide content for your blog.

Producing Content Without Promotional Value

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you should find ways to promote your product or service without going overboard and appear to be a hard sell. Learn of the “stealth” techniques so that you can get the desired response from your readers. When you produce a great article or white paper, you can get positive response from your target audience. This puts you closer to your main objective of developing a potential business through higher CTRs. Make yourself visible on the Web. Get those posts on your social profiles, company newsletters and social bookmarking sites. Of course, don’t forget to put share buttons on your blogs so that your target audience can republish or link to them.

5 Major Benefits of Content Marketing

Content Strategy

[Editor's note: There has been a lot of buzz in the niche marketing arenas lately about "content marketing". While this concept isn't exactly new, it does afford many advantages over other forms of online marketing - especially for niche marketers. Today's guest article looks at five benefits that you can realize by adding content marketing to your overall marketing strategy. What do you think? Do you use content marketing in your marketing mix? Has it paid off for you? Leave me a comment below  ~Scott.]

ByTJ Philpott

Content marketing is fast becoming more highly recognized as a viable and long term means of marketing on the internet. Publishing content may not be as easy or work as quickly as submitting a PPC ad and does involve an investment of your time. On the flip side however it is one of the most effective advertising methods available online today.

Many look at what is involved in publishing content and often times choose to use another online marketing strategy that is not as labor intensive. No doubt there are many who may not be convinced that using content to promote online is worth the effort.

For anyone still indecisive about using content as an online marketing strategy let’s review 5 compelling benefits this promotional strategy offers.

Economical

Publishing content involves only the investment of your time and effort. Using content to promote yourself or your business online is very easy on your marketing budget. In today’s day and age where are you going to find something that actually works and not have to pay for it?

Longer Lasting

Unlike some other methods of advertising, publications such as newsletters, blog post or articles can continue to drive traffic for you long after they were initially published. Of course this is highly dependent upon the quality of the content that you have published.

Builds Credibility

The more content you publish the more recognized you become on the internet due to the increased exposure. Along these same lines the longer your name is associated with the content you are publishing the more you become recognized as an authority on the subject matter.

What you are looking at here is building a reputation online which is difficult to do within such an ‘impersonal’ medium as the internet. Your content allows readers to get a better feel of who you are and the degree of your expertise.

Attracts Targeted Traffic

Obviously the people who are most interested in your content will be the same ones who visit your sites. When you consider that your content is going to focus on whatever it may be you are promoting this traffic will be highly targeted.

Great SEO Tactic

The more you publish any content linking back to your site the more incoming links your site will have. Also the frequency of your publications is something the search engines love since they are always looking for fresh content they can rank. In both these cases the search engines will display more favoritism to your site(s) with a higher ranking for you. This results in more ‘organic’ traffic for you which is the best type to have since it is so targeted.

Content marketing is one of the most effective advertising methods for marketing on the internet today. The only drawback for some may be how labor intensive this type of online marketing strategy is. In reviewing 5 major benefits this promotional strategy offers it is hard to deny the obvious advantages associated with publishing content online. In the end it would seem the effort is more than worth it as long as you are willing to put forth that effort!

Market Research Remains a Key to Growth

By Scott Spooner

The folks over at HingeMarketing.com have recently completed a study looking at  the effects of market research on company growth and profitability. The results surprised the study team:

To our surprise, we found a clear — even dramatic — correlation between systematic research and firm growth and profitability. The more frequently you do research, the faster you grow and the more profitable you are.

The following infographic helps to summarize their findings.

In short, the more systematic research a business engages in, the the greater growth and profitability that business is likely to realize. The research team believes that this correlation is straightforward: the more you learn about your customers, the more you'll be able to anticipate their wants and needs, and the sooner you'll be able to react.

As the economy continues to remain soft, this is good advice for niche marketers who are trying to gain a foot hold in their market.

Social Media: 5 Trends to Consider

Social Media and Niche Marketing

Image by Intersection Consulting via Flickr

[Editor's note: Today's guest article focuses on social media trends that have recently emerged and that can be leveraged by smart niche marketers to create more traffic and more sales. Take a look at these trends and consider incorporating one or more of them into your current marketing mix. Let me know what you think by posting a comment below.  ~Scott]

 

Does the concept of starting a social media marketing campaign scare you? Don’t let it. While social media sites are quickly growing, they’re also becoming easier to use and are welcoming not only social butterflies but businesses as well. Social media marketing is slowly but surely finding its way into the standard marketing campaign – and for good reason. Here are some of the trends we’ve noticed over the past year.

A Lack of Control

When venturing into the world of social media, it is important to remember that you will have very little control over the actions and mindsets of your followers or fans. Take Facebook, for example. You may decide to build a business page for your organization but you may also find that your fans have created fan pages of their own – unofficial pages where they have chosen to network and talk about your products or services. While that shouldn’t discourage you from building your own page, it should encourage you to check out what others are doing or saying in an effort to monitor and protect your brand.

Exploring Collective Sales

The past year has introduced the concept of collective sales, or collective buying, to the social media marketing platform as well. Sites like Groupon offer businesses a set amount of guaranteed sales. You, as a business, will offer a steep discount but an individual can only take advantage of it if a guaranteed number of people make the purchase. Those clients may not turn into regular customers, but the collective sale will give you the opportunity to gain hundreds of new customers literally overnight.

Location Based Marketing

Technology is an incredible thing and advances in the way people can connect to the internet and, in turn, their social networks has had a huge influence on social media marketing. Anyone with a smartphone or an iPad can access the internet and many love checking in on social applications like Loopt and Foursquare. Even Facebook and Twitter have added applications that allow people to report where they are. Many business with storefronts are now offering incentives, ranging from discounts to free products, to customers who post that they are in the shop.

Social Networks and Gaming

Many social networks, including Facebook, feature incredibly popular games. Despite your hesitance, it’s important to recognize that millions of people are playing the games offered by social networking groups each day. Pretty soon, you’ll be able to advertise within these games. At the very least, you may be able to include your product in virtual form so that those playing can buy your services. They may just decide to do so in real life, too.

Social Media Experts

While social media was at one time completely free, trends now point towards the incorporation of social media experts into the overall marketing plan. These experts have experience setting up Twitter profiles or Facebook pages, making customizations and changes that will give you the most professional and appealing face possible. It’s all about building your brand, and an expert can help you set things up right from the start.

Social media marketing is growing by leaps and bounds and many businesses, from Toyota to Nike, are marketing their social networking pages (especially their Facebook fan pages) even more heavily than their own websites. It’s a trend in itself and will continue to grow over the next few years. Don’t launch an online business (or an offline business with a web presence) without adding social media to your marketing campaign. It’s guaranteed to make a huge difference.

Location Based Marketing Services

Image via Wikipedia

[Editor's note: Today's guest article focuses on location based marketing and the growing popularity of smart phones. Smart niche marketers are picking up on this trend and using it to develop micro-niche marketing strategies for targeting core audience segments. Mass retailers and local merchants alike can exploit the opportunities of location based marketing. Let me know how you are using these niche marketing strategies for your business. Leave me a comment below. ~Scott]

Location Based Marketing

It wasn’t so long ago that businesses advertised on TV, radio, billboards, direct mail and the like… the so-called ‘traditional’ media. These mediums promised lots of impressions but were limited in the amount of targeting they offered. So, while a lot of people would see or hear your ad, it was hit or miss as to whether or not they were actually in the market for what you were selling. On top of that, the pricing models for these types of media made them fairly prohibitive for anyone other than large companies and organizations with dedicated advertising budgets.

With the advent of the internet marketing, and of the Google Adwords model, businesses big and small found a new way to reach potential customers. Business owners could now reach out to people who they knew were not only interested in their particular product or service but were, in fact, searching for it at that very moment. This type of highly targeted advertising promised significantly higher ROI and made for a much lower cost to entry for those businesses that didn’t have money to spend on expensive advertising campaigns. The only real disadvantage was the fact that the user had to be in front of their computer to see your ad. Maybe not so bad for everyone, but it doesn’t necessarily do proximity-based businesses like the restaurant or coffee shop down the street too much good.

Enter the smartphone.

Almost 20% of all mobile phone users in the US are on smartphones today and that number is closer to 25% worldwide. Since March of this year, the US alone has seen a 36% increase in smartphone adoption (via Mashable) and that rate doesn’t show any signs of slowing. While the heavy-hitters dominating the smartphone landscape at the moment are Apple’s iPhone and Google’s wealth of Android based phones, there are a number of other handsets which offer users the standard smartphone functionality, including internet access and GPS. With so many mobile phones now equipped with these types of features, a new branch of applications, deemed ‘location-based services‘, have emerged which allow users to broadcast their physical location at any given time. In turn, services such as Foursquare now allow businesses the ability to offer incentives to nearby users who ‘check-in’ at their location, providing an unprecedented opportunity to reach potential customers when they are close by and most likely to engage with your brand. In addition, these services provide businesses access to analytics dashboards containing a wealth of information such as who is coming to your business, when they are coming, what they had to say about it and where they went afterwards. And the best part… it’s all free.

Until recently, these location-based services were used primarily by the early adopter crowd (think Twitter, before it was as popular as it is today) and had yet to make their way into what might be considered mainstream culture. Just last week however, the social networking giant Facebook announced its entry into the location realm with the release of its ‘Places’ service, thrusting the concept of location-based social networking into the limelight and increasing the number of people with the ability to start checking-in to more than 150 million overnight.

A number of big brands are already engaging their customers through these services in new and interesting ways and the benefits of using location-based networking is only now becoming truly evident. As mobile phone usage continues to skyrocket and location services become more prevalent and advanced, savvy businesses will have opportunities to reach potential customers in ways that have never before been possible. While a fully ‘integrated’ marketing approach used to entail both offline and online initiatives, there is now a third element that should be considered when formulating your marketing plan… location. There is no doubt that location-based marketing will soon be as mainstream as having a website, but the companies who get involved early will benefit the most as they gain the valuable experience that other organizations will have to make up for later. What’s your business doing to engage customers?

How To Add Value As a Social Media Marketer – One Easy Tip To Distinguish Yourself

Become a location based marketing expert

Image via Wikipedia

[Editor's note: Location based marketing services continue to be red hot. With the continuing soft economy, it is more important than ever for all marketers and business owners to see themselves as niche marketers. This is never more true than when it comes to smaller, local businesses; businesses that rely on local foot traffic to stay in business. Instead of focusing on the services themselves, this week's guest article focuses on how to distinguish yourself as an expert in providing location based services to your local marketplace. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. ~Scott]

By Matt Bodnar

The increasing popularity of social media marketing and the explosion of traditional marketers and so-called “experts” pouring into the field has made it tougher for top notch social media marketers to distinguish themselves and rise above the fray. How do you bring real value to your clients and get a leg up in the highly competitive social media space?

The number one thing you can do to add value for your customers and most importantly distinguish yourself is to find a specialty or niche that you can deliver expert content to your clients in. The mainstream platforms are already saturated and its tough to carve out a meaningful niche. Everyone these days is an expert on Twitter, Facebook, and the other major platforms – it’s tough to find clients these days that you can offer a unique specialty to.

One of the new frontiers in social media marketing is location based marketing. Location based marketing presents the single best opportunity right now for social media marketers to become an expert in a cutting edge new area. Services like Foursquare and Gowalla are on the verge of going mainstream and offer great value for businesses if used properly.

There are very few social media experts right now who know anything about location based marketing and there is a real opportunity for forward thinking social media marketers to become experts in this new field before it becomes saturated.

Becoming an early expert gives you huge advantages over those who pile in after the service is already hot – think about people like Gary Vaynerchuck who pioneered some of the now-mainstream social media marketing tactics and became a leader in the industry.

Those who put in the focus and time now before location based marketing explodes will be the ones who ride the waves, and the profits, to the top.

How do you learn more? Go out and start using these services to get more familiar with them. Get Foursquare on your phone and try it out.

To learn how to apply location based marketing to a business and the proven tactics and strategies, the options are limited right now since this is such a new field. However, the leading guide on the market right now is “How To Use Location Based Marketing to Grow Your Business.” You can get the first two chapters for free at the bottom of this page.

So what are you waiting for? Go out there and become an expert now before the industry takes off. Location based marketing has a huge future and those who get in on the ground floor have the largest rewards to reap.

Location Marketing – The Latest Small Business Tool

Location Based Marketing can pinpoint customers

Image by NOAA's National Ocean Service via Flickr

[Editor's note:  Today's guest article not only discusses the "how" of location based marketing, but also the "why"; that is, why should businesses embrace and use this technology. In today's economy, both niche marketers and mass retailers need every edge they can get. Location based marketing is quickly becoming a "must have" tool that every marketer should learn and use. What do you think about location based marketing? Leave me a comment below. ~Scott]

ByAjay Prasad

The basic concept of location based marketing has been around for years but the internet, social media websites as well as ‘smart phones’, together are set to change it forever.

Simple yet brilliant phone applications such as Foursquare and Gowalla which rely on Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) have made it possible for business to communicate with their customers online. More commonly known social networks such as Facebook, Google Maps and Yelp too are catching up and helping make social media become an integral part of real world commerce.

Social networks and the so called ‘lo-so’ networks are an all new medium for Advertising and Marketing and the quicker do business comprehend them and adapt to take their advantages the better it is for them.

How does it all work?

Everything’s digital. Gone are the days when everyone kept a phonebook and a hefty copy of the Yellowpages directories, most of us today look for services and businesses online. Say it’s your first ever evening in San Francisco and the only thing in on your mind is ‘Sushi’. What do you do? You pull out your smart phone or switch on your laptop, visit a search engine website like Google and type “Sea Food in San Francisco” or perhaps even “Sushi in San Francisco”. Trust me, Google will let you in on thousands and thousands of results and is quite capable of leaving you all confused. What do you do? You click on the new Local Search Result Only feature. This would enable the search engine to provide you with results relevant to your physical location. You can then choose from a handful of restaurants, where you may relish your Sushi.

How does Local Marketing help Businesses?

Anyone on the streets, round the corner or even a mile away can, only with a couple of clicks on their ‘smart phones’, instantly find out about the services and goods your business offers. This new possibility naturally increases the on-foot traffic to your store and also encourages impulsive buying. Being published on online business directories allow anyone in the city to find your goods and services.

Local social media marketing is a form of direct marketing; your promotional material reaches out to real potential customers who are already making an effort to find you. Your promotional material is delivered electronically and on demand. It is, in comparison, an eco-friendly form of advertising as there is no hard copy paper wastage involved.

How do Businesses use Local Marketing?

Business register themselves on local marketing feature of search engines like Yahoo, Google, Bing etc, and on Business directory websites such as yelp to gain online visibility. It’s important to fill the business profile on such websites carefully.

Some companies opt for professional search engine optimization (SEO) for their websites. The importance of (SEO) is only to rise in the near future for not only would the website require to be indexed properly so they may be found within the general internet top search engines but would soon also require to be found by physical, geographic, location as well.

Another way businesses are using social media and location based marketing is to engage with their customers. Applications like Twitter allow building an intimidate relationship with customers. They act as an online mouthpiece where a store may talk of a new product launch or an art gallery may speak of a special event.

Google+ for business

Many niche marketers have found success setting-up and actively promoting a business page on Facebook. With the arrival of Google+, these same niche marketers are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a similar functionality on Google+.

The wait might be nearing an end. In a recent Search Engine Land blog post, Greg Sterling writes about Google’s apparent designs for incorporating businesses into their future evolutions of Google+.

This is significant in that Google is now going head-to-had with social media rival Facebook. If Google can score a hit with their Google+ features, then the increased competition will be a boon for both online and offline businesses.
