Blog Marketing Strategy Tip

Hi Everyone,

So you have a product or service you want to market online and you want more traffic. This is something I do to generate traffic from many different locations. This may not generate targeted traffic but it will be organic.

Think about how many times you have just surfed the Internet. I think surfing is a major pass time of internet connected people. Random traveling from site to site following links on sites you like.

I like to call this "Scatter Bomb Marketing"!

The idea is to take advantage of peoples surfing tendencies to get them to visit not just one site you own but multiple sites you own.

Start multiple websites or free blogs about every topic you are interested in. Dogs, Guns, Food, Travel, Movies, Bikini Girls, Politics, Gardening, and so on.
Make sure all your blogs link to all the other ones with a convenient links list.
Create content for each blog when you have time. So create 4 blogs today about dogs but have them automatically publish each week for the next 4 weeks. So when you are in the mood to write about one of your favourite topics you get a head start on content creation for that blog.
Make a primary link form each blog to your main product or service you are trying to market.
Put Google ads on each blog as an added form of income for people that do not go to your primary product or service. Let Google ads do the selling for you! BUT don't put more than 1-2 ads on each blog or traffic will leave.
For the advanced marketer try making several blogs all related to one topic (or your main product or service) like Dogs. Try different dog breed themed blogs, best dog toys, dog pictures, dog abuse/adoption stories, dog training tips and so on. This will generate more targeted traffic.

Each blog you build and create original content on will generate and drive traffic to your main product or service that you may be selling. Your blogs are scattered all over the place but work together.

Have a great day!

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,

Marketing to Small Business

Hi Everyone,

First an update: I have been reworking my Tailgatemoney.com website that is advertised on the back of my truck to see if it is more effective.

I wanted to share some info you should think about when you market to small businesses.

1. Stress the time savings for your product or service.
2. Remember that running a small business is both exciting and terrifying.
3. Stress how you product or service will help their company stability.
4. Remember that small businesses have the same needs a big business.
5. Respect that the company money is also the owners money.
6. Justify the value of your product or service.
7. Remember small business owners turn to the internet first when looking for products or services.
8. Content Marketing like blogs, pictures, and videos will attract the organic traffic of business owners already looking for your product or service.

I hope this helps a bit!
Have a great day,
-Ian
