Capturing leads and list building must never be lost in affiliate marketing. This is very significant. Traffic is surely the lifeblood of online businesses. It is the first thing that shall be brought to the site in order to make it alive. Without traffic, the online business will not have any possible opportunity to be successful. With huge traffic, a lot of opportunities open up.

In relation, strategies must be formulated on how to get the contact details of potential customers from the traffic being directed to a site. Visitors will not opt to make a purchase at the onset of viewing a business site. It is possible for them to claim a free offer and leave their contact details but not to buy something they see for the first time.

List building is a way to keep in touch with the potential customers, making them visit the site from time to time, and later be a customer. Traffic sales conversion rarely happens on the first sight of the site. Trust and confidence usually needs to be developed.

To gain the confidence and trust needed to have a positive sales transaction, the point of contact must not be lost. The business must reach out to the potential customers. If the contact information of the prospects is kept, then there is no point of losing them.

In connection, there are auto-responders that could help in maximizing the potential of the gathering of leads. Once a potential customer leaves his or her details, it is best to have an automatic response. This could either be an acknowledgment or a link to the free offer. Auto responders also help in managing the list gathered. They also have other forms that helps increase the rate of opt-ins.

Furthermore, it would be best to have an own site. Having an own site adds to one’s credibility. Affiliate products can be sold in one’s own site, endorsing them in a unique way. In promoting products, it is always best to have something like a course that people will look forward to. It could be a 3 to 5 day course about the product; could be anything related to the product that would create the viewers’ feeling of “belonging” to it. The writing style must be like directly talking to a person. On the other hand, hiring writers can also be an option for these types of techniques.

All in all, it is recommended to have an opt-in form to capture leads, an auto responder, and some advertising pages. All of these work together for the success of the online business. These are all needed to keep in touch with the potential customers.

It is best to make the prospects feel that they found a friend with the business. When they get contacted from time to time, and be advised on a couple of things that could be a solution to their current possible dilemma, then it will be more and more confident with the business. Later on they will trust the business and make purchases. It is simply like courting.

Internet marketing and article marketing are not the same thing,

because internet marketing is a broad concept with many smaller

concepts beneath it, and article marketing is one of those smaller

aspects of internet marketing. The reason why these two concepts go

hang in hand is because no internet marketing campaign is complete

without some form of article marketing. Internet marketing and article

marketing go hand in hand because using articles to market yourself,

your website or your affiliate products is absolutely critical in

creating a complete internet marketing solution.

There are many different types of internet marketing that you can take

advantage of to get your name out there. However, most forms of

internet marketing have costs of some sort, because advertising isn’t

free. That is, advertising isn’t free unless you are advertising

through article marketing. This unique form of marketing was popular

long before ecommerce was a big thing. For as long as mass print

methods have been available, businesses have been marketing themselves

through article creation, by offering something of value to print

medium like widely read newspapers in exchange for a byline or a small

advertisement. When it come to ecommerce and internet marketing,

article marketing is an excellent means for getting information out

there and creating powerful links back to your website or affiliate

products.

When it comes to article marketing, there are numerous benefits and

features to consider.

- This form of marketing creates powerful links from popular websites

back to your website or affiliate products. The more links you have

coming to your website from other sources, the more powerful your

website will be in search engine page listings like Google.

- By providing value in the articles that you create, you will be

establishing yourself as a trusted authority on the keywords, niches or

subjects that you are writing about. When readers know they can count

on you for real, honest information, they will keep coming back for

more.

- By adding a byline or resource box to your content you will be giving

potential customers a way to contact you after reading your valuable

content. Not only will this create powerful links, but it will also

help connect additional traffic to your website that you would not

normally be able to get.

- By creating articles optimized for search engines you will be

improving your overall traffic and even your overall page rank by

submitting to content sites with high page ranks and authority.

For these reasons, it is absolutely vital that article marketing be a

facet of any internet marketing plan that you put together. While there

may be a variety of different ways to market your internet site, one of

the most powerful is to use valuable, easy to read article content with

a call to action for readers who appreciate your work to visit your

website for more information, products, a newsletter, and so on and so

forth.

I HATE spam just as much as you do I promise!  I already receive over 100 legitimate emails each day and if you were to add the amount of spam messages I get I’d say the number would be closer to 1,000.

Thank God for spam filters!

If you couple this hatred with the fact that I wholeheartedly believe in working hard to attract highly targeted visitors to your website and not simply build traffic simply for the sake of building traffic, you may find it difficult to believe how I fell into the trap … that is unless you’ve fallen in the trap as well.

Here is how it all happened …

Way, way back in early 2008 I heard of this crazy website called Twitter.  I am sure you had the same type of thoughts I did when I first checked it out.

You thought …

“Boy that’s kinda dumb!

or

“Why would anyone care if I had to use the bathroom?”

Well I can tell you I had no intention of returning to the site since I just couldn’t get a grasp of why anyone would care what I was  doing at any given second of the day.

I continued on living my life, and anytime I heard someone mention Twitter I kinda chuckled and thought to myself, “boy they need to get a life and maybe keep their bathroom habits to themselves.”

One day a few short months later I was getting my car serviced and was sitting in the waiting room at the dealership.  I looked up at the TV and saw CNN was on the screen.  After listening to a few seconds of thier literal blathering  I began to  lose interest and began looking around the room for an interesting magazine to read.

…And then it happened!

I heard the CNN commentator telling the audience how they could send in their “tweets” and he began to read some of them online.  Huh?

I never in a million years would have thought media would embrace such a silly technology.  This event must have triggered my reticular activating system because once I left the dealership it was as if the flood gates were open and everyone was “twittering” this and “twittering” that and referring to each other as “tweeple” and how they are part of the “twitter-sphere.”

How wierd!  But also very intriguing.

I decided since I was part of the Internet Marketing world I should probably set up an account and begin to familiarize myself with Twitter.  The more it became popular, the more interested I became.  The more I read, the more excited I became.

Although I was becoming obsessed with Twitter and excited about the possibilities, I just couldn’t get my head around it.  I did however, realize I could use Twitter to create a substantial amount of entry points to my various web projects and this was extremely attractive.

The term “knowing enough to be dangerous” was exactly where I was.  I began sending out “tweets” with links to articles I had written and noticed whenever I did … I received visitors to my blog.  It was awesome.

I quickly built up my followers and the people I was following to several hundred people.  I had a difficult time seeing through all the noise since I could “tweet” something and within a minute or two that tweet would disappear and many other tweets would come on top of them.  It was frustrating but I knew I could figure it out.

Then it came to me……

I could get my message in front of people over and over if I just kept saying it.  That MUST be the key.  I began with this obsessive posting and watched my blog views rise every single day.  I thought I must be on to something and I was amazed there weren’t more people following this incredible formula.

This went on for a few weeks and I didn’t think much about my strategy until I received an email from a good friend of mine, Jacob Vanderzee.

Jacob and I had a couple previous conversations regarding “breaking through the noise of Twitter.”

We discussed how the people we’d like to get our message in front of are already following thousands of other “tweeple” and if we had a tough time staying on top of the constant flow of new messages … how would they see our stuff.

His email started by answering the question many of us STILL have today … What the heck is Twitter?!?

Twitter is a combination of Instant Messaging, Email, and blogging.  Each of these technologies has certain rules of etiquette and reasons for thier existence.

The strange thing about Twitter is it can be used the same way as IM, Email, and blogging.  The only rule is that it must be communicated in less than 140 characters.

Each of these mediums have had to put mechanisms in place to make sure people didn’t take advantage of the ability to get a message in front of people.  That’s how spam filters came into existence for IM, Blog comments, and Email.

These same type of mechanisms have been put in place for website search engine optimization as well.  These filters were created to stop the incessent interruptions caused by these obsessive spammers who feel if they reach enough people with their non-sense messages that some of these people will have a low enough mental capacity that they’ll actually respond.

Man, these spammers are a real piece of work.  That’s when Jacob asked me the question that made me wake up.  He said, “look at your Twitter profile page and ask yourself this question … Would you recommend a client have their website or blog look like YOUR Twitter profile looks?”

OMG!  I had become one of those low life spammers that we all hate!

Well, the first part of getting better is admitting you have a problem.  I have since eliminated all my duplicate posts and my profile page now contains what I hope my followers will consider valuable, worth wile content and not just a bunch of repeated, interruption based marketing messages.

All of you who have fallen victim to my repeated spammy messages … I apologize.  I promise from this point forward I’ll only “tweet” one time and make sure it is valuable information that will make you WANT to consume it.

Since I am now a reformed spammer who will never enter that dark world again, I promise to spend time in the coming days discussing some great ways to use Twitter without violating any spam etiquette rules.  If you’ve fallen victim to spamming on Twitter or any other medium I’d love for you to share your story.  We promise to support you on your road to recovery.  :)

Heck, until recently I didn’t really understand the true power of Twitter so I figure this would be a good place to clear it all up.

For the purpose of this article let’s take a quick look at the Internet landscape and compare it to something we can all relate to … The city you live in right now.

Think about the parts of town where you go to find things to buy, whether it be a mall, a strip mall, or even the market where companies and individuals are all set up to sell their goods.

Is this really any different than the online stores which exist all over the Internet?  I don’t think so.

How about the plethora of newspapers you have to choose from.  The Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, USA Today, National Enquirer or even your local newspaper.

There are a minimum of 100 online news sites to every single newspaper that exists offline … and in most cases you can access this news for free without trudging across your front lawn to retrieve your paper from the bushes.  :)

What if you are looking to visit the “wrong side of the tracks” in your city…

Well you can find that online as well with the porn sites and other undesirable stuff online.

I’m sure you can see the parallels with all these on and offline comparisons, and you are probably still wondering, “Where does Twitter fit in?”

People who sign up for Twitter typically use their 140 character allotment to tell the world what they are doing and in some cases use a link that points to more detailed information.  As I mentioned in my previous article, “Confessions of a REFORMED Twitter Spammer” I began using Twitter the wrong way simply because I didn’t understand it.

Since those dark times I woke up when I heard an excellent offline comparison.  In that comparison I heard Twitter compared to a cocktail party.

Think back to that familiar time when you arrived at a networking cocktail party and watched that annoying salesperson bounce around from person to person filling everyone in on what they do and what type of business they are looking for, and after cramming their business card in each person’s hand, they leave and go on to the next person.

Most of the time this entire conversation lasts less than 15 seconds and they don’t even take the time to ask the person what they do, or even their name.

Would you ever contact this person?  I didn’t think so!

I was that person in the early days with my Twitter use.

I thought it was a tool for me to repeat the information I wanted to spread over and over so my prospective target would be sure to get the message.

Since I didn’t GET IT, I didn’t realize I was annoying people andgiving them every reason to ignore me.

Heck, who wants to be pestered over and over with the same message?

I believe the best way to use Twitter is to provide valuable information for the people you would like to reach.  Make sure when someone arrives at your Twitter profile page, they find relevant, useful information with links to more complete information.

You should give Twitter the same time and attention you do the content of your website … unless you don’t pay much attention to that either.

There are many other ways you can use Twitter for your business beside providing “content based” information.  Stay tuned this week for more real life examples of how to use Twitter for Your business.

I find it strange how it’s possible to go from having a difficult time grasping the concept of something, to finding endless ways to use it in a matter of a few months!

That’s exactly what happened to me when it came to Twitter.

I guess I shouldn’t be so surprised since I am involved in an industry where something we couldn’t possibly conceive one day … can change the world in that same few months.

Today I’d like to chat a little about how you can use Twitter to identify hot prospects and begin a conversation with them that can lead to the beginnings of a strong relationship. Not only that, but you can accomplish this without leaving your desk, and without even picking up your phone!

Step One – Identify Hot, Profitable Keywords

If you are new to the online world you might be saying to yourself,“HUH?!?!?  How the heck do I do that?”

The best way is to brainstorm to come up with a broad keyword that your buyers might type in to find you.

For example, if you are a website development company, and you checked the Google Keyword Tool , you’d find the keyword “Web Development” is searched for an average of 823,000 times per month.  That’s a pretty hot keyword as far as search volume, but also, the people who are using this keyword to search have commercial intent nearly 90% of the time.

It isn’t exclusively about search volume,  it’s much better to go afterhighly targeted buyers that are READY TO BUY.

Step Two –  Identify People with Needs

Now that you’ve identified your hot, profitable keyword, it’s time to find people who have needs related to this keyword.  Twitter has recently added a search box on the right hand side of your page when you login.

Once you are logged in all you have to do is enter your keyword inside quotations ( “web development” ) and click the little magnifying glass next to it.  Once you’ve done this you will be presented with “Real Time Results” with the most recent updates first.

Step Three – Listen to What They are Telling You

The next step is to review each result and quickly evaluate whether you can help them or not.  The beauty of this search feature is that there will constantly be new results coming in so this one search could keep you busy all day and you’ll never run out of people to help!

The system won’t automatically dump them onto your screen which is good.  Once you’ve pored through the most recent results you simply need to look at the top of your results and it will tell you how many new results have come in and click “refresh” to see them.

Step Four – Deliver VALUE and Don’t be That Guy (or Gal)

Remember PART ONE of this series where we talked about the sales person who attends the networking events and runs around the room “glad handing” everyone and cramming their business card in each person’s hand without allowing the person to say one word?

Don’t be that guy!

Evaluate each of the results you are presented and ask yourself,“What are they asking for and how can I help?” Their “Tweet” is an invitation to begin a conversation, not an invitation to apply some aggressive closing technique.

Using the Web Development example, you might want to create a report on “How to Plan for and Develop a Successful Website.” If you see they are thinking about developing a new site you might want to reply and send them a link to this FREE report. If they have a question about something to do with their website, perhaps you could answer their question.

Keep in mind that as you are replying to these people your replies are visible on your profile page, and the content could possibly show up when others are conducting searches of their own.  This will help you build credibility and display your expert knowledge within your industry.

Article marketing has always been one of the very best ways to witness more people coming to your site with an intention to buy your products. The success of your online business is directly related to the number of people visiting your site and the number of visitors will go up by using article marketing in the right way.

The best thing about article marketing is that it works like viral marketing. When you publish an article in an article directory, people come and read it. In case you have done some magic with words in that article, many webmasters and other website owners use that article on their site, with or without your link. It doesn’t matter if they use your article with a link to your site or without it, you can see your products getting promoted on different sites in the form of an article.

One thing you can see from the details provided in last paragraph is that an article works in the best way when it becomes viral. Actually, viral marketing means that you write an article for once and continue to enjoy benefits for a long time. But, there are few things you need to remember in order to make your article viral.

* The very first thing is the quality of content. If article is not attractive, you are not going to get many webmasters interested in using your article on their site. Right use of words will make your articles so impressive that others will be compelled to use it in its original form. Some sites don’t bother removing your links and thus making your article perfect for viral marketing.

*  The other important thing to remember is the catch title. Make your tile as good as possible. If your title is good, the chances are high that people will read it and that’s when they decide about the quality of content.

*  You must make a right use of keywords. Keywords should be found after conducting some market research. Finding keywords relevant to your business and website is important. It is so because people will know about your products even if webmasters use your article without your links.

*  Always publish your articles to popular article submission websites and directories. There are some directories having high PR. Publishing your article on these site can directly influence your search engine ranking. Plus, these sites are regularly visited by other website and blog owners to find fresh content for their websites. That’s exactly the point when your articles are picked by them to get converted into a source of viral marketing.

The bottom line is that there are specific ways to make your article viral. But, it sometimes becomes difficult to pay attention to those guidelines. That’s why it is better to hire a professional SEO company. A professional company always writes quality articles and submits it to popular sites to get your articles noticed by most of the surfers. So, always use right strategies for article marketing otherwise you would not get better results.

To make your articles viral just pay a visit to Seo-peace.com, which is a professional SEO company and offers outstanding article marketing services along with link building service.

If you are having trouble with your article marketing, make time, follow some rules and examine what the topnotch writers are doing, the web is loaded with excellent writers.

Here a few points to consider in your artcle marketing strategy.
1. Write on topics that mean something to you and your enthusiasm for the subject will come through.

2. Plan to be mostly original because some of what you say has been said, however you need to make sure your voice comes through.

3. Write a piece of substance and make it interesting for the reader. Let them know you really are writing for them, not just what is in their pocket.

4. Follow a structure if you want to save time. Think through what type of article you will write.
There are strategies and templates to apply.

5. Proof read what you write. Make sure you use spell check and check for grammatical errors. You don’t have to perfect every time, no one is but you do want to try and get it right more times then less. I don’t know how many times we tell people, spell check is free.

6. Write a good length article. Don’t just produce those 200 word pieces of essentially nothing. Write a length that allows you to express your full ideas and help the reader.

7. Write on topics people want. This is not the old days of write and hope they read it. Article marketing is just that marketing via your article. Hence you need to write to the target market.

8. Visit article directories and read the articles within. The Internet is the best place to find samples to review. Review them for content, format, level of detail. Understand what’s different; understand what is read the most. Try and discern the strategy of a top notch or widely read writer and emulate.

9. Have your work reviewed by someone else. Send your friends to review what you have written and get feedback. Nothing like real world feedback to ensure your article marketing skills improve.

Just remember putting garbage out may get you a hit but never a customer. Article marketing should be a win-win situation for directory owners, authors and the readers.

If the writer produces good quality articles, and directory owner presents the work in an interesting manner, the readers, yourself included, will prosper. Therefore, own the responsibility to make sure that the article produce is well written and

Nowadays, 1 of the quickest rising social networking web sites is Twitter. It provides a middling simple service: Twitter allows its users to “tweet” or send little updates to their friends. These updates are up to a length of 140 characters. Last year, Twitter widened its service to the domains of Short Message Service (SMS) and iPhone applications. This makes it more simpler to keep your friends posted on what you’re up to. Nielson.com has reported that the number of Twitter users has grown 1382% — The user can be everyone, from your grandma to your 12-year-old cousin. Celebrities and even politicians are utilizing it for their private purposes.

If you are anything like me you are probably of the mindset that the Internet has significantly lessened the level of customer loyalty that most companies are accustomed to.

The reason for this is consumers now have so many choices, they no longer have to rely on digging through the phone book or count on the right “interruption based” advertising message to create a “top of mind awareness” for when they are ready to make a buying decision.

Let’s face it … The Internet is here to stay!

We have a couple obvious choices. We can either hire the world’s greatest hackers and attempt to have them permanently destroy the Internet so it goes offline forever, or we can come up with creative ways to embrace this supposed “loyalty killer” and turn it into a “loyalty enabler.”

As Twitter continues to grow in popularity and more and more people get hooked on it as they have with Facebook, your potential to stay in front of your customers will increase tremendously.

Eleven percent of the population has already used Twitter and that number will continue to grow at a rapid rate in the coming months and years.

For the purpose of this article I’d like to focus on how a sports bar / restaurant could use Twitter to build customer loyalty and sales dollars at the same time.

Step One – Create a “Twitter-centric” Promotion

Let your customers know your restaurant is an active Twitter participant and that you’d love it if they followed you. If it happens to be Monday Night Football time invite your Twitter followers to send you a “Tweet” guessing the outcome of this week’s game. Let them know the person who gets the correct score will win a dinner for two. If the economy happens to be nipping at your profits, make sure you add some type of tie breaker so you don’t have to award too many free dinners.

Throughout the course of the game “Tweet” the scores as they occur so you can keep your followers abreast of the game. You may even want to point out those people who look like they are on track to win. Whatever you do make it fun and engage your “Followers.”

Step Two – Create Twitter Follower ONLY specials

Send out a daily “Tweet” that offers a special for your Twitter followersONLY. It doesn’t have to be a big deal. It could simply be 50% off on an appetizer. Just offer something and don’t be too cheap. What you’ll find is that the customers who initially began to follow you for the “Guess the Score” contest, will be excited that there is something else to look for from your restaurant’s tweets.

If you consistently “Tweet” these offers, you’ll find people will look out for your “Tweets” specifically and you may just give them a reason to fore-go grilling on the deck and stop by to enjoy your outdoor deck.

Step Three – Keep Your Followers Up to Date on Wait Times

How did you feel the last time you drove across town to visit your favorite restaurant only to find out the wait was 2 hours, or worse yet, they were completely booked for the evening?

I am guessing you weren’t too happy!

Well what if you could have opened up your smart phone, or logged onto your computer and found your favorite restaurant just “Tweeted” that there was a 30 minute wait? I am guessing you’d be much happier.

Could they have just called? Sure, but phone calls are boring and everyone LOVES new technology.

Step Four – Monitor the “Twitter-sphere”

You should always have a search window open on Twitter for your Company name. So many companies have no idea what people are saying about them and if they did, they could help correct a poor visitor experience by simply showing they care. This is something which might take you 30 seconds to do, and you could spend even less time passively monitoring the results.

Think about how you’d feel if you blew off some steam about a bad experience and within a few seconds you got a response back asking how that company could “make it right.” Most people would talk about that to many other people and the buzz created would be incredible!

There are many other ways to use Twitter to build customer loyalty and this is just one simple example. I challenge you to think creatively and figure out how to use this for your business. It doesn’t matter if you have a restaurant or a tool and die shop … Just be creative and YOU WILL WIN!

I was fortunate to have discovered a company that was willing to teach me the necessary marketing skills that are required for me to build a successful network marketing online business and compete in the internet age.

From the very beginning I learned how to use attraction-marketing techniques like the top entrepreneurs are using to build their network marketing online empires.

This concept is very different from what most old school MLM companies teach if they offer any training at all it usually resembles something like the following.

This is not how an entrepreneur profit (s) and will sound familiar to many of you, your sponsor will tell you to start your business by compiling a list of 100 people you know. Then once you have exhausted the list that includes your friends, family and co-workers with little or no results, what are you left with?

Using the three-foot rule, pitching strangers about your company’s history, the compensation plan, the product or how well the company is positioned in the market place. This is all great except for one little thing; most people could care less because they did not have any interest in it to begin with.

And when none of the above is working for you then your sponsor will tell you to cold call genealogy lists or buy leads that are typically expensive low quality dead end leads. This is not how an entrepreneur profit (s) and you do not want to build your business this way because it’s inefficient and it does not allow you to leverage your time or maximize your efforts. 

Education is the key to your success. Instead of wasting all of your money on worn out one-shot marketing schemes that may or may not return a profit, invest that money into training courses, services and marketing tools. Work on developing new marketing skills and learning how to become a professional marketer is critical to building your business.

When you apply attraction-marketing methods along with a sales funnel or marketing system that allows you to use the power of the internet you will never have to chase prospects again. Instead these prospects will chase you to join your business because they all ready know who you are.

People like to buy things from people they trust and respect but most people don’t like being chased by a pushy salesman pitching something they don’t have any interest in. This is the beauty of attraction marketing.

By driving traffic to your sales funnel through various internet advertising methods offering valuable and useful information that helps move them forward. They are now empowered to make a decision one way or the other without feeling pressured into buying something.

This is a huge psychological advantage and gives you the opportunity to start the training process right from the beginning earning their trust and respect positioning you as a leader that they can turn to when they need help.

When they do decide to buy from you it’s because they already know who you are before you have ever talked to them.

By establishing a strong internet presence using attraction marketing principals and combining it with a powerful marketing system you will be able to generate unlimited free leads attracting endless new prospects into your business 24/7 even while you are sleeping.
