Top 5 Online Marketing Tips

Hi Everyone,

Here is a list of the top 5 online marketing tips any new or experienced marketer should be doing!

  1. Have your own website - You need a home base that you can edit or change anytime you want. This is because online marketing can be hard and you need the ability to change your product or service. A blog is a good starting place but there are a lot of services with more options that are easy to use.
  2. Have your own domain name - This is not the same as a website because you can use a site like Blogger as your main website if you want. Make your domain non-specific so it can be adaptable as you gain experience with online marketing. Products-by-mike.com is a good starting name until you find out what products really sell then you add a new domain name down the road to help you market.
  3. Content is STILL king - You need to create your own daily content to generate targeted organic traffic! Original Blogs are good just work to keep each one on topic and 300-1000+ words if you can. Original pictures are amazing if they start trending on Google Images so get your camera out! Videos can be big draw if they go viral just make sure you always link back to your page if you post them on Youtube.
  4. Share your content on social media - Facebook Pages, Twitter, and Pinterest should be enough to get you started just make sure you post something every day. If you are making videos then Youtube will also be covered.
  5. Start your own e-mail list - When you sell a product or service as an affiliate your customers don't stay your customers because they became the customer of product or service you are promoting. So get customers to join your double opt-in e-mail list before sending them to your partners. Giving away a related free e-book or pictures is a good place to start your list.


These tips should be able to work for ANY online business you may be building or thinking of starting.

Have a great day,
-Ian
