An Open Letter to Budding Internet Marketers

Joe Oye — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:30:33 +0000

Dear Budding Internet Marketer,

There are battles about selling which great number of budding internet marketers continue to fight and it is not pleasant to see that many of the internet marketing ‘gurus’ do not clearly teach about how to win these battles. On the other hand, it pleasant to see how these online marketers, even in their struggles, display the desire to work smarter, move ahead and face the battles in order to get anticipated results as soon as possible.

Incredibly, the battles are not salient as obstacles to businesses; they don’t appear scary as such but they are highly demeaning to internet marketers in making headways with selling their products or services. To make the understanding of the battles so quick for you, I have sorted them into seven buying evasion or resistance points. You will discover the very same solution which top internet marketers have been using to win the stated battles.

Specifically, when we talk about selling, not only by internet marketers, but by all business owners in general, we always mean customers’ patronage. By patronage, we mean getting their attention and we mean getting them to buy. Researches are already pointing to the fact that the competition surrounding getting the attention of potential buyers today has become extremely high. Looking at the online side of it, Facebook, emails, chatting, searching and lots of others things too much to list here are beckoning the attention of the buyers.

Itemized below are the seven-point buying encounters you must tackle to really hit your sales target as a budding internet marketer

1. Buyers’ Low Curiosity

If your long or cute and well-designed sales letter, your unfailing email follow-ups, your social media promotions and similar efforts could not inject a bit of curiosity into your potential buyers mind, you can hardly end feeling the pain of struggling to market your products or services. The shut ears and closed minds of your buyers will always make a blockage between you and your buyers in this situation.

2. Buyers’ Belief of Your Business Offer as Inferior

This kind of resistance to buying is always present with the buyers until you can break it through by assuring that the quality of your offer is at par with the expectations of your buyers.

3. Buyers’ Lack of Attention or Time.

As pointed out above, your buyers have divided attention online and the time to listen or read about you and your products or services is already limited. Internet marketers have a huge task to take about managing the distractions of their buyers to their advantage in order to command a cut from the buyers’ attention.

4. Buyers’ Indecisiveness to Buy

Buying indecisiveness blocks the action to make a purchase. Sales messages need to be sharpened as much as possible to give necessary prompts to buy.

5. Buyers’ Feeling of Interruption

When buyers begin to feel that your marketing messages or promotions have become disruptive, they will heighten any of the other resistances. Knowing how to exercising caution and playing your marketing game in a moderate way is, therefore, of importance.

6. Buyers’ Verdict on your Business Offer as Typical

“This is another scam!”. It is very easy these days for buyers to easily generalize thus, especially regarding market niches in which great numbers of people operate. You’ve got, therefore, to do everything possible to show up your uniqueness. Otherwise, your business might unknowingly suffer this kind of buying evasion.

7. Mix of other Feelings or Being in other Situations by Buyers

Your potential buyers or customers are human. They may have concerns you need to realize as obstacles to your promotions. Watch out and act out your marketing efforts with due cognizance of the feelings of other people that may fall not within buying, buying and buying at a particular time.

What exactly do the up-and-coming internet marketers, in particular, need to get clear understanding of winning these battles?

All marketers online need to ensure that they know the secrets to making their targeted buyers feel confident and motivated so the they (the buyers) will take actions and buy the products or services offered now rather than later. Remember that, most often, later usually means never.

Internet marketers need to know how their sales messages could speak directly to the unconscious mind of the consumers – the part of their mind that will always say “YES, I want this, and I must buy it NOW!”.

Internet marketers need to learn and effectively apply the ‘magical’ communication that instantly make people yield (ethically) to and become more open to marketing messages. Online marketers need also to tackle resistances by really understanding how the human mind works and how to tune the knowledge gained for morally for turbo-charging conversion rates and sales.

The needs for all internet marketers as highlighted above are just a few of the imaginative sales closing ideas you need to learn about as an internet marketer. I am sure that studying and understanding what it takes to read the mind of potential buyers are good ways to tame your businesses to advancement.

What exactly is the solution for internet marketers in general to buying resistances?

Get resources on the subject of PERSUASION as related to marketing in general. Don’t remark that you’ve been reading about the subject before. If you have been studying this important marketing topic before, do it more now and indepth, learning in a focused manner about each buying resistance and applying what you learn particular as it concerns you as a budding internet marketer.

If you check up the stories about great politicians, mentors, fathers, presidents, managers and notable persons; renown internet marketers inclusive, you wouldn’t fail to see that they are masters in tactics of persuasion.

To your success as an internet marketer.

eMail Marketing: Does It Work Anymore in the Face of Social Marketing?

Joe Oye — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 16:54:15 +0000

I attempted to study what, of recent, has really been the influence of social marketing on email marketing. This inquiry was necessitated by the pronouncements I have seen much more made regarding social marketing which is now being looked at as the better and more efficient way of reaching and reaping from potential customers than email marketing. This inference makes email marketing appear as a practice now so tired by effectiveness or being retired by internet marketers. Consequently, in the general sense, every sales campaign today seems not so good until it goes asocial.

**Does email marketing work anymore?**

Does marketing by email work anymore because of the seeming higher preference for social marketing? May be, you have asked this question too.

Here is the report of my study on email marketing as it sails along with social marketing. There is no definite angle from where one can say that this channel of marketing is sinking in the face of its social counterpart channel of marketing. This means that the overpowering impact of the new-on-stage social channel of marketing campaigns on email marketing is only assumed and that it is generally not realizable except by the results of the measure of efforts applied by the marketer who carries out marketing campaigns.

However, one fact was so salient in my study and this is point that, now, social marketing enjoys continunous novelties by rate and by number than email marketing. What is presupposed for the view that the marketing method is no more effectively working like before, therefore, is the fact that the attention of online marketing innovators are more today on social marketing than otherwise; they create and place around social marketing more tools and they also provide high number of platforms to manage business socially.

Email marketing still works… Quite well!

Notably, a great number of internet marketers have performed amazingly with email marketing and they continue to achieve more by maximising its uses. Even as internet marketers diversify into the social channel of marketing, email marketing wouldn’t go away – it will never be abandoned! One good thing about its promotional power is that many of the effective techniques applicable to it which are being looked upon as old are still quite workable up to date. One more fact for you about it is that social marketing is never its subtitute. If you hold on to this fact, you will easily see why email marketing will continue to be a good tool for your business.

I am going to leave you with two questions to conclude this quick report.

Wouldn’t it be better to use email marketing and social marketing to your advantage by giving them necessary attention they deserve to earn you the customers you want?

Rather than taking them as competitive, why not use both marketing methods as complements?

11 Recommended SEO Services for your Website or Blog

CFAgbata — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 09:13:38 +0000

SEO Services basically deal with the on-site and off-site optimization of your website for increased traffic. Read Search Engine Optimization to learn more about SEO or use the search button to find more articles.

Generally, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves a number of activities but I will just touch briefly on the usefulness of quality SEO Services.

4 Reasons why you should Order quality SEO Services

1. It will improve credibility of your site.
2. It increases traffic.
3. You can easily get found online by prospective clients.
4. Enhances you site Page Rank (PR) etc.

ORDER your SEO Services from a reliable SEO Company!

My good friend and partner, Joe Oye sent me an interesting email of how well CFAgbata.com is doing online. Check out the image he sent in:

Thanks to our quality SEO Strategy.

My mission today is to share some of the Website SEO Services we use;

1. Keyword Research

I would simply suggest that you do not start a website, blog or business online without doing proper Keyword Research. It is like the foundation of your online house and without it, I doubt if it will survive.

When the research has been done, you should use some of the discovered keywords to write your website’s Title and Description. This is a very critical aspect that an SEO Services company should handle except you understand how keywords work online.

Our blog has what I call “100 Foundation Keywords.”

2. Directory Submission

Submitting your website to directories is a great way to get your business out there. Directory Submission involves submitting your website to sites that are usually more established and have different categories.

Note: Do ensure that you submit to the appropriate category so that your website can stand a chance of being approved and I suggest you open a new gmail account to avoid spam issues.

3. Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking sites are not as popular as they used to be but they are still very relevant when it comes to SEO Services.

There are a number of bookmarking sites out there i.e. stumbleupon, reddit that can help your content go viral and attract new visitors.

Note: If you do this properly or allow an SEO Service Company to handle it, you will see some effects in your rankings almost immediately.

4. Article Submission

You don’t need a nuclear scientist to explain how important quality articles are online. If this is clear, the next question will be how to get that article out there?

This is where Article Marketing comes into play. So, Article submission is a process of submitting your articles across various article directories i.e. Ezine Articles

It is important to write your articles with 2 audiences in mind;

i. Your prospective reader
ii. Search engines

That said, your articles should be properly SEO Optimized with a keyword density of between 2 to 4%.

5. Press Release Distribution

Having your Press Release submitted to PR sites is a fantastic way of gaining exposure for your site or blog as well as earning good back links.

Ensure that you target any keyword(s) from your keyword research results and don’t neglect the standard online PR formats.

We used this very frequently to announce any new developments and trust me, it works!

6. Video Marketing

Personally, I am pretty new to using videos but I understand that video maeketing is an integral part of SEO Services that is why I have made a commitment to jump in with both legs.

Video marketing is a highly recommended way to get your products and services out there. It involves you creating a video and having it submitted across various sites like Youtube. Again, you might need to outsource this to professionals. We just finished creating a one minute video of CFAgbata.com

Note: Do not neglect the keywords and description because they help in boosting your SEO rankings as well as increase traffic to your website.

7. Local Business Listing

This is one of the SEO Services that makes it possible prospective clients around your location to find you easily. With this service you can submit your site to your local directories plus google maps.

8. Classified Ads Submission

This will help get the word about your business out in many ways and can also be a source of backlinks.

9. Search Engine Indexing

It is one thing to publish content and another thing to get it indexed by search engines. The more pages you have indexed, the more you are likely to show up on the SERPs.

10. Blog Submission

Blogs are increasingly becoming popular hence the popularity of this service. This service involves submitting your blogs to directories setup to catalogue blogs online.

Blog submissions is one of the SEO Services that can help in increasing your blog’s popularity.

11. SEO Content Development (Content Writing)

Most of the SEO Services covered above are basically off page SEO but this is the only on page SEO I going to cover briefly because others are much more technical.

This article is an example of SEO content development while I did my best to make you enjoy it, I also targetted the keyword “SEO Services” so that the article can rank well on the SERPs.

So, when writing online it is important to target keywords that are already being searched.

Conclusion

These are some of the SEO Services done for CFAgbata.com every now and then and they are carried out by our well trained, highly ethical SEO Consultants.

I hope I have been able to throw more light on some of the recommended white hat SEO techniques available today.

4 Internet Marketing Strategies you can Implement this Year

CFAgbata — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 05:45:14 +0000

Internet Marketing has grown so huge today and I wonder what 2012 has in store? I am amazed at the opportunities and possibilities available to anyone online.

Right now, I am writing from my home town in Awka, Anambra state and by the time I hit publish, what I have to say goes out to the whole world. Isn’t this fascinating?

Why do I love Internet Marketing?

The simple reason can be found on the image above. CFAgbata is reaching thousands, if not millions without spending heavily on advertisements

Use of the Internet is now becoming widely popular amongst small business enterprise (SME) owners that usually don’t bother about I.T. If you ask me, I would say that Internet Marketing has toppled all other marketing trends so far.

Note: Internet Marketing is also known as Web Marketing, Online Marketing or E-marketing.

There are so many Internet Marketing strategies which can be implemented either individually or in combination, and they can help take your small business to the next level.

Note: You cannot implement these Internet Marketing strategies without having your own website or blog. Not just any website but an SEO friendly website that is managed by an experienced website consultant or SEO company.

As an experienced Internet Marketing

Coach, I can tell you for sure that the below strategies will work if you implement them consistently. Remember, the websites and blogs online are nearing the 1 billion mark which simply means more competition – so be consistent.

4 Internet Marketing Strategies I recommend

1. Do more SEO

Are you currently doing SEO?

Without SEO your internet marketing hopes will be dashed big time especially if you don’t have a big budget for PPC i.e. Google adwords or Facebook ads, so I recommend that you learn basic SEO (use the search button on the sidebar to search for SEO related topics).

SEO is rather difficult and time consuming so I suggest you outsource it so you can focus on your core. SEO Optimization Services entail a daily implementation of one or more online or offline strategies.

Let me say this again, I prefer SEO over PPC because of its long term benefits.

2. Give out Freebies on your website

This is one of the best strategies that works not only in Internet Marketing but also in general offline marketing. Gifts can come in the form of audio clips, PDF Files, newsletters, free coupons, free tickets etc.

To make this beneficial to you, you can set up an email sign up option which would help in expanding your existing list of potential clients.

For example, CFAgbata is reaching thousands, if not millions without spending heavily on advertisements.

3. Be Active on Social Media

Social Network Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, Tagged etc. are key components of a well designed Internet Marketing plan.

It is important to engage the services of a website consultant with Social Media Optimization services. I suggest that every small business owner takes a Social Media For Business course like the one we are currently working on.

Social Media has become a major factor in both SEO or Internet Marketing, today, SERP results are heavily influenced by the social media influence of the website.

4. Email is still powerful.

I have often heard the argument that social media will kill email. I disagree with this assertion, I believe that emails will be here for a long long time. On the other hand, I think that mails will be accessed differently in future i.e. probably through a chip embeded into our bodies

I suggest you should use emails more frequently this year. You can even automate your email procedures like I have done, if you are confused how to ge started then I suggest you sign up for my Free course on setting up autoresponders.

These are some of the Small Business Marketing Solutions that I use and my belief is that you can achieve greater results if you innovate while implementing these Internet Marketing strategies.

4 Ways to Use Article Marketing as an SEO Strategy

CFAgbata — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 12:13:40 +0000

One effective SEO Strategy that will be around for sometime is Article Marketing. I use it frequently as an SEO Strategy to build my personal brand and business.

Remember, it is advisable to build a personal brand in today’s world.

Search Engine Optimization if properly done, can help your brand and website become more visible on the SERPs. The SEO Strategy you decide to use depends on the resources available and what your goals are. Fortunately, article marketing is a cheap and effective, and has therefore become a very popular SEO Strategy.

Using article marketing as an SEO Strategy

1. Quality Articles

When using articles as an SEO Strategy, you are to write highly informative articles revolving around your products or interest, which are then submitted to various article directories i.e. EzineArticles – click to read some of my articles.

2. Use of Keywords

The articles should contain keywords that are popularly used in search engines to search for products within your industry.

You also have to ensure that the keyword density is between 2 to 4% so that it does not look spammy. Prospects who find your useful articles via the search engines would likely get interested in you the author as well as your products/service.

3. Link Building

Your SEO Strategy can’t be effective without links. Internal and External links are extremely important, it is much better to have a professional SEO Expert like CFA handle your external link building strategy while you take care of the internal.

For example, read my previous post titled “Use Video Marketing to Increase Traffic” – the Keyword here is Video Marketing and I have added the link to the main article – this is how internal linking is done.

Tips: If you are building external links, make sure you focus on one-way links only and use different classes of IPs if building a huge no of links. An SEO professional will help you avoid issues if things are not done right.

4. Go Social

I cannot overemphasize the importance of Social Media in article marketing. Are you one of those who focus on the ‘social’ aspect of Social Media while neglecting the business and brand building aspect.

With Social Media you can reach a wider audience and that is why you’ve got get your social media plans right so that you reap the full SEO benefits of your article marketing efforts.

Local Business Marketing Booms: Facts Aspiring Internet Marketers Must Master to Make Steady Income

Joe Oye — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:09:03 +0000

Anyone who has lately paid attention on booming marketing trends online will agree that that the local business marketing niche is hot.

Even though local business marketing (also called offline marketing) appears as a niche that is easy to jump in and flexible to profit from, internet marketing reports have it that many people who aspire to generate steady income from this hot and fast-growing niche are still frustrated, confused and plain sick of not being able to get started.

If it sounds like you are one of those who are still stuck in their way to get into profiting from local business marketing, listen here so closely as you are going to gain helpful insights from the facts laid out for you below. I can assure you that once you master the facts, your way to local business marketing will be unlocked.

Instead of defining the local business marketing, I will only tell you the main purpose why businesses have to apply this type of marketing to their operations (not later but now) and why you are bound to make steady income out it.

Businesses grow and profit where peoples’ attention are and because the attention of people in search of products and services have largely shifted onto the internet, it is imperative for businesses to shift their appearances online. As a result, they don’t just need to create internet presence, they need to have online presence that will continuously ensure necessary exposure from within the overloaded internet landscape.

Actually, they need forefront appearances on the internet. In a technical term, they need websites that dominate particular search engines so that they can be in the position to convert traffic to profits as greatly as possible.

Aside other known factors, lacks of time, technical skills, and zest generally do not give local business owners the power to carry out local business marketing the do-it-yourself way and so, there lies your income opportunity if you can offer what they lack in carrying out needed local business marketing campaigns.

Here are the facts you must master to really build steady income from local business marketing:

Fact 7: Whatever Google Dwells On, Huge Money is Out there for Individuals to Make (Local Business Marketing is an Example)

Let’s say that you are new to local business marketing, you must not be new to what Google is, what it stands for and what it is determined to become. Google is involved in local business marketing. This is the most interesting part of jumpstarting your own local business marketing income-making practice now.

We can see this fact from another angle. If there is a trend Google creates or follows, there is no doubt that there is fortune lying ahead to be made along the trend. Once Google is already there, the smart thing, therefore, for you to do is to put in all what it might require on your part to join the trend, find a spot to do something that will create you income out of the trend. Alternatively, make use of the potentials, created by Google, in any trend to improve the money-making engagement which you have currently.

Google is involved and it provides the in-way for you with its free local business listing services and similar tools for you to help the local entrepreneurs to market their businesses. In the concluding part of this article, you are given the list of the skills you need to be able to serve well, for huge profit, in the marketing niche being discussed here.

Fact 6: There is a Sticky Local Business Marketing Question Business Owners Must Answer Positively to Prove that their Business is Real

The question is sticky. If the answer “yes” fails to come from a concerned business owner, he or she will find it so difficult to prove that his or her business is real or that the business is current or that the business in not brand sick. Just like it is normal for people to expect or ask “Where is your location (address)?” or “What is your telephone number?” or “What is your email address?”, it has become customary for many people to expect to know the internet locations of local businesses or ask the question “What is your web address?” Where they do not directly ask, they suppose that real and best businesses will rank up on the first search result page of Google, Bing, Yahoo and likes.

Of course, the local business owners do not need to wait for the requests for their URLs anymore because it has become normal for an owner of a ‘real’ business to give out his or her website (or blog) URL. More than ever, their targets need to see the website address on each of the communication medium of every business entity, never only on the business card. I am not even relating the need to always publicize the addresses of social media webpages here.

This fact provides a high leverage for you in having an easy entry point into the practice of local business marketing as you will be the go-to person for so many of the small business owners who are ready to answer the question “What is your web address?” in a positive way.

Let’s meet at the second part of this article on local business marketing.

Use Video Marketing to Increase Traffic to your Website

CFAgbata — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 18:07:52 +0000

Video Marketing is becoming more popular as days go by, no wonder youtube is now the 3rd most visited site in the world.

So, as the trend of Internet Marketing becomes more complex, newer strategies will constantly evolve as well as be introduced to keep up with the demands of Internet Marketing. Businesses are competing for the top of the SERPs, using every known method to increase traffic to their websites.

The need to drive more traffic has given way to a new form of internet marketing known as video marketing, which is an additional technique in Search Engine Optimization or the SEO in short.

Video Marketing basically has two aspects;

1. Making a video in order to market it.
2. Marketing an already existing video.

So, how do you go about video marketing?

There are many ways to it.

The first thing that would come to your mind is probably to upload the same video to one’s own site. The result of this is that it would give instant update to your existing customers.

Okay, fine. But what about your potential customers? How are they going to know about your new products or service or how do you go about increasing your site traffic through video marketing?

The simple answer to this is to host your videos on popular video sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Blip.tv etc. With this, your video would be exposed to a larger audience. But, since there are innumerous videos uploaded daily on these sites, how would yours get noticed? This is where Search Engine Optimization comes into play. You need to use friendly titles and descriptions that would be a catcher to the Search Engines.

So, also one can combine Social Media Marketing with video marketing. Simply go to your Social Media page like Facebook, Twitter etc. and distribute the links of your videos there, so that you can reach a greater audience with your products and services.

You can also apply video email marketing strategies by sending the links of your videos to the subscribers on your list. Make sure your videos are interesting and interactive while promoting your brand, so that it attracts a new audience who might visit your website, this creates the possibility for an increased income.

How soon do you hope to start your video marketing?

Google Trader and How to Launch Your Own Internet Marketing Business in the Next Few Hours

Joe Oye — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 13:15:25 +0000

In the next few hours, you can have your own internet marketing business in place with no kobo down. Thanks to the move made by Google to launch Google Trader in Nigeria.

As an enthusiast of Google services and tools, I cannot do without making use of something Google in a day and, therefore, I am so pleased to write about the launch of Google Trader in Nigeria with a view on how you can to jumpstart your own internet marketing business with it.

First, about Google Trader…

Google Trader is a web/mobile phone platform for buying and selling products and services by individuals and business owners. It also serves as a website where employers and job seekers can close deals on their needs. It is, therefore, an online place where people can freely get connected to achieve their business or job-search aims.

The Google African blog points out that the main purpose of creating the Google Trader “… is to make posting and searching for products, services or jobs a simple, fun and engaging experience.” The platform has already been launched earlier in Uganda, Kenya and Ghana.

The internet marketing Work-from-Home Side of Google Trader

Since Google Trader is a connection point, you can, therefore, get the targeted customers you want for your chosen type of internet marketing business. As already mentioned above you can start your internet marketing business in the next few hours. This is assuredly pointed out because the only thing required by Google is that you must sign up with Gmail (the Google email service platform).

On your own part, you must have decided what internet marketing service or product you are to launch using Google Trader if you must have your online business in the next few hours.

How to Launch Your Own Internet Marketing Business Immediately

I recommend that you go to the website and browse the categories there to have a feel of the job leads, products and services Nigerians are offering. Figure out how to post your internet marketing product or service starting from the “Post a Listing” menu on the website.

It is noted that the design, so far and as claimed, is the simplest of all classified ad websites in Nigeria. As it is very easy to post on, you do not need to be a highly techy person before you work out your online marketing business with Google Trader.

As soon as this website was launched, it was as soon as many of the marketers started being slack about the way they promote their products and services. Generally, many of the slackers are those that are not educated about internet marketing and, perhaps, they just felt good about joining something becoming raving on the internet. They appear as having lack of knowledge regarding marketing with classified ads.

If you are new to internet marketing or promotion of products and services on classified ads website, you must be ready to start learning about it now. If you do not learn necessary internet market practice and you launch your online business with Google Trader just straightaway, the business may not bring you in many months even a small amount of money that can buy you a lunch.

Honestly, it is nice to see that Google has provided a simple and easily-operated channel with which more and more Nigerians can make money online. Unlike in Uganda and Kenya, using mobile phones to buy and sell on Google Trader in Nigeria is yet to be enabled. I trust Google. The mobile aspect will also be launched in Nigeria.

I will provide you with special informational pieces on product and service promotions with a focus on Google Trader and I hope I will be able to share my money-making experience in using Google Trader as one of my internet marketing platforms.

CLICK HERE to go Google Trader.

To your success.

7 Reasons Why You Should Be an Entrepreneur by Direct Selling News

CFAgbata — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 22:58:04 +0000

I once published a post titled Direct Selling featured in Wall Street Journal and I am glad I did because it is now one of the most visited pages on this blog.

A lot of people are asking questions; possibly seeking new ways to achieve financial freedom and I can say without doubts, that direct selling is one way of achieving your goals. By the way, I am also in this industry, with a company called Natureline Solutions. There are thousands of other companies working hard to put smiles on people’s faces.

Below is an excerpt from “The Original Social Business Model” by Direct Selling News, as published in USA today: (download a copy)

: Direct Selling

Every new parent asks himself or herself why children don’t come with a manual. The same holds true for entrepreneurship. If someone penned all the challenges you’d face in this brave new world—the sleepless nights, the messes cleaned up, the tears shed—few would think the benefits outweigh the labour.

That’s right; no one ever said entrepreneurship was easy. But with entrepreneurship comes effort. Effort flourishes with passion. Passion makes work feel like pleasure. Pleasure is the gratification that you’ve worked hard to create something real, important and lasting. And that cycle is one of the many reasons why entrepreneurship remains an enduring ideal in this country.

“The direct selling business model can level the playing field and close the gap between the haves and have-not’s,” says Ray Chambers, world renowned entrepreneur, philanthropist and one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. When the economy is uncertain, there’s no better time to create a job for yourself by starting your own business. Not sure it’s for you?

Consider this. You were born to be an entrepreneur, not an employee, says motivational speaker Stedman Graham, author of the New York Times best seller You Can Make It Happen. “At no other time in history has there been a better opportunity for people to create or retain ownership of their lives,” he says. “Our nation and its communities need more entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurialism is not only a pathway to autonomy and financial independence, but also has a macro-level impact on community development and economic growth, providing sources of employment and higher living standards.” Perhaps there is no easier way to embrace entrepreneurship than direct selling.

Below are 7 reasons Why You Should Be an Entrepreneur by direct selling News

1. Job Security

Only a generation or two ago, going into business for yourself was considered risky, and the safest route was to get a good job in a large firm. “That’s what my ‘poor dad’ taught me,” says Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki.

“Now, working for a traditional corporation has become the risky option.”

2. Make More Money

A U.S. Federal Reserve survey shows the average household net worth for entrepreneurs is five-times more than that of the traditionally employed. What that means in this economy is business owners are five-times more likely to come out of the recession in the black because they created income in their own businesses.

3. Freedom

When you are your own boss,you get to choose when you work, how you work and with whom you work. Best-selling author, radio host and wealth expert Dave Ramsey puts it this way: “There’s been a lot of doom and gloom in the media this year. The truth is,many people were laid off from jobs they hated anyway. Many people, instead of sitting homeland sulking, have used the freedom to think about what they really want to do when they grow up. You have ideas—good it!”

They want work that reflects their values and identity;they want to make a difference.”A landmark study by MetLife Foundation and Civic Ventures found that 50 percept of Americans in their 50s and 60swant to do work “that matters.”

3 Interesting Ways To Build And Retain Targeted Traffic

Mike Chimikolo — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 03:47:13 +0000

This is a guest post by Michael Chibuzor. To write an article for this site, please see our write for us guidelines.

What you need the most in your blog, is targeted traffic.

This should be your focus, let it pivot your business and take the necessary steps to achieve an increased traffic online.

: Targeted Traffic

There are proven traffic generation systems. It’s all about tracking your progress to determine what works, and which method is a time-waster.

Having said that, I want to share with you my three interesting ways to build and retain targeted traffic. You don’t just attract visitors to your blog, only to let them go within few minutes, never to return. That’s not the way to achieve success online. A single visitor could mark the turnaround of your business, that’s why no traffic should be neglected. To get started, I have a highlight on marketing…

Marketing correctly will help you get traffic

Marketing deals with knowing who your prospects are, what they like or hate and how to capture and convert them into customers. marketing helps you determine the problems of your targeted audience, analyse their needs, and create a product that soothes them – which will attract more traffic.

I made a lot of costly mistakes when I started blogging. I had a misconception about marketing an that retarded my progress. When you see a blogger wanting to sell to you the moment you visited their blog, then know they are making mistakes. You don’t sell to your first time visitor instantly, they are not their to buy, or else they would have made purchases before getting to your blog. What they want is quality information, to enrich their lives and business.

Will you give it to them beyond imagination?

If you can answer that question honestly from your heart, it means you’re ready to either proceed with the 5 traffic generation systems above. If not, you should stop reading and set your priorities right, thereafter come back to this page and read on.

1. Guest Posting Strategy (G.P.S)

Write guest posts and getting them syndicated across the web, is a great way to get traffic. The reason is simple, the people who read your guest post are responsive, 75% of them are bloggers and they usually like giving back to someone who’s impacted their lives.

If fresh blog readers (traffic) is what you need, the best way to get it is via guest posting. The traffic you generate from your guest articles, can result in engaged readers for the rest of your blogging career. Every blogger is looking for ways to increase his/her readership, knowledge and networks. By reading your blog, they gain insights and connect with other like minds.

Start writing guest posts. I personally write 10 guest posts weekly and this has brought me more traffic, than I can contain (off course, I need more traffic). Lol!

2. Shared Report Strategy (S.R.S)

A recent traffic generation system I discovered is the “shared report strategy.” It’s so powerful and acts like a viral marketing. If you don’t know what viral marketing is, then you’ve been marketing manually, and this is hard work. Viral marketing is that system that distributes your content, across the web, bringing fresh visitors and buyers to your blog or site daily, without your manual labor.

Off course, you’ve to do the work required to initiate viral marketing. Afterward, you relax and let others promote you. To get start with this, you need to create a free report of 7 – 15 pages that’s unique, detailed and interesting. Embed/add your blog address on every page without bugging your readers.

Once that is done, make your pages easy to navigate, use light images to interest readers, and portray deeper meaning. Then submit your free report to document sharing sites like scribd.com and 4shared.com. I get fresh traffic to my review site daily, where online shoppers can grab free sitter city coupon and 6pm.com discount codes. This way, they would be able to save money while shopping, especially during the festive seasons.

These two sites would get your free report distributed across the web. Thousands of web visitor visit these two sites daily to read books, manuals and reports. They could download and share with friends also. A powerful system that distributes your content, across several authority sites, driving free, fresh and targeted traffic to your daily.

3. Search Engine Organic Traffic (S.E.O.T)

People still use search engines like Google and Bing to conduct their searches. In fact, according to search engine news, 67% of all web searches, use Google. Social media marketing still plays a great role but the best traffic ever, is from Google.

This kind of traffic is free and targeted. It’s also easier to convert these traffic into paying customers. When someone type a keyword or phrase on Google, it means they need solutions to that specific problem. Have you asked yourself the last time you used Google for searches, why did you do it?

Simple. You had a need, problem or something that requires solution. For instance, when searching for best web hosting service, do you use Google or social media sites? Off course, the best review content could be found via search engines.

Therefore, start optimizing your web pages to rank highly on search engines especially Google. This way, it would be easier to get fresh traffic and capture, build relationship and convert your visitors into paying customers in a short while.

Helpful Tip:

Internet marketing in whatever form demands your total focus on people. If you want a significant difference in your business, you’ve got to give people what they want. Visitors don’t come to your site because of your great design and layout (except on rare cases), majority of there for your quality contents.

I’ve personally seen the spike in my web traffic when I started delivering quality content for the people, no search engine spiders.

To capture and engage your blog traffic, follow the principal of generosity. Give plenty of helpful information, spoon-feed readers with interactive contents, and get people engrossed with your blog. This way, you won’t struggle for fresh visitors. Fresh visitors are good, but current blog readers makes the difference. It pays greater dividend to follow the right path.
