Power Up Your Web Presence With Powerful Copywriting
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Web copywriting is carried out keeping in mind two audiences: search engines (which can index your site and pull up your page rankings), and prospective human visitors (who can buy your products). Sometimes the right density and positioning of keywords is enough to make search engines happy, and get you near the top of search results.
But when people visit your site, they read your content and if they find every paragraph a medium to stuff keywords, it spoils your impression, definitely a bad idea. You need to get a copy that can please both digital as well as human readers.
There is no point in getting high traffic when your visitors abandon your page before you can get them to click on a link, read more, or make a purchase. Although you have “cheated” your way into the search results, you just lost any chance of getting bookmarked, or recommended to another user, or getting visited again by the same user.
On the other extreme, you could get content writing services that churn out good copy–lively prose, no bluffing, no padding, just informative and persuasive copywriting–but if the keywords are not strategically placed and repeated when they count, you won’t be making search engine spiders happy.
Your site might read well but is just not spider-index-friendly. But then, with word-of-mouth recommendations, your site has a source of traffic not directly related to search engine results. The problem is your site might be reachable by any online search using keywords.
Now you know that man cannot live on search engine optimization alone. You need good copy. So you either get people who are good in SEO copywriting, or you can learn it and do it yourself.
If you have time, it’s good to invest in learning copywriting. Because even if you don’t become proficient enough to be your own copywriting company, you get immersed in the complexities and pressures professional copywriting people face everyday. And when you learn the point of view of the copywriting trade, you get a much clearer view of what you want for your site.
And what you want is a good balance between optimized copywriting and sales copywriting. Unless you’re a good writer, one with eight years’ experience in filtering nonsense in copy, and with the surfing stamina and typing speed of a twenty year old, you’re better off hiring web content writing services.
Here’s a simple rule about what to look for in good copywriting work. A good copy is a short, highly readable, credible, well-paced, well-phrased, well-researched copy. You have to draw the reader in using only what’s available to you: words. A crisp and intriguing but non-misleading title can lead your reader into your copy. Further, an opening paragraph that concretely connects the reader to the topic, hints at how the topic will be developed, all without testing his boredom-threshold.
What you’re looking for is a copy that blends persuasive sales pitch with SEO copywriting. So the outcome is a good write up that’s focused on content, but just enough keywords to make the search engine spiders happy.
This is how you power up your web presence—with powerful copywriting that passes five (5) standards:
• Mature choice of words (no cliches, buzzwords, verbal fillers, puff-speak, juvenile blog phrases)
• Smart phrasing (every word must tell, every sentence must have a point),
• Short sentences (because online audiences read slower on the web page compared to print), good pacing of ideas (use of subheads, transitions, limiting the article to a few important points),
• And strategically placed keywords (which are not repeated where redundant and awkward).
And you are sure to go sky high in online business.
Get Attention From Your Designs by Creating a Blog
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
By Anthony Marsh The Internet has made it extremely easy for anybody who is willing to start a blog and use it to garner attention for what they are selling. From teenagers to Fortune 500 companies, many have come to the realization that writing a blog can attract attention and generate a consistent readership and following. Blogs have become excellent vehicles for communicating news, keeping in touch with a large number of fans and customers simultaneously, highlighting expertise, presenting an introduction to a line of products, and delivering fresh content for the search engines.If you’ve never actually published a blog, you will be amazed at how easy it is to get up and running. There are many blogging platforms available like Wordpress or Blogger. These resources allow you to set up an account without cost and be live in a short period of time. These providers offer design templates that you simply choose by clicking on your favorite. You get an administration panel that makes it easy to add features or remove them.
A blog is really one of the simplest ways to start getting a web presence that is available to everyone completely free. You’re not required to pay for the account, the storage, or anything else. In return, the site might include some advertising on your blog, but once you get a feel of things, you can pay a small fee to get this removed. Or, if you have a little bit of technical skills and have a domain name and hosting you can install a blog using wordpress or one of the many other available scripts. Most times the control panel of your web hosting services will allow you to install wordpress with a single click. If not, you can download it at Wordpress and with a little FTP knowledge, install it in 5 minutes or so. It’s really that easy.Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by a lack of knowledge of computers or the Internet. There is no need to be technically talented at all to start a blog. As you continue to use the blog, you may want to include pictures and videos which may take some learning, but it still is nothing to be intimidated by.
Deliver The GoodsIn the beginning, all you will need to do to start getting visitors is to make sure that you deliver something that is interesting on your blog. If you’re serious in establishing a web presence you’ll want to have a minimum of two blogs. One that shares news specifically about your company, brand and designs. You’ll also want a second one that covers the t-shirt industry and culture with a few plugs and links here and there about your own products, along with some affiliate links to other t-shirt sites.Many first-time bloggers make the mistake of creating a blog that serves as a personal diary, with random posts on a wide variety subjects. While this may be interesting to a small segment of people, it’s not the best choice to bring visitors from the major search engines who prefer targeted content. So, stick with the subject of t-shirts, and develop your content around that niche. You could offer reviews on specific designs and brands, report sales and coupon codes, offer designing tips and tutorials or an endless choice of content. Use your imagination and you’ll come up with a unique vision for your blog that will get the attention you are seeking for your designs and brand.Try to review your posts before publishing to make sure they are relatively free of misspellings and grammatical errors. Try to include titles, subheadings, bulleted lists, and white space to make the copy easy on the eye. Many readers do not want to come into a blog and see a single paragraph written in poor English, no matter how interesting the subject. It’s just too hard to read.Anthony Marsh is the owner of http://www.popularthreadz.com and a half dozen other t-shirt brands. He is also the publisher of the online resource http://www.teebiz.com, which covers the t-shirt business and culture,
T-ShirtMagazine.com = T-Shirt Madness
T-Shirt Magazine is the premier source for everything surrounding the t-shirt culture. Published weekly as a free online magazine, T- Shirt Magazine is also a web community of t-shirt fans and collectors as well as designers and entrepreneurs.
Introduction to Social Media Marketing
November 20, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Thumbnail
In this paper we offer an introduction to the new Internet phenomena – Social Media Marketing explaining:
1. Why it’s important for small businesses to understand it
2. What to do, and how to go about it. (all the site names are links)
3. Where to go to start building a web presence.
Why you need to be marketing via Social Media
Do you need to get into Social Media Marketing (SMM) – Almost certainly YES because a) the other approaches don’t work so well anymore, and b) because it offers a much wider reach, to a more closely targeted audience. And it’s free.
a) Other approaches don’t work any more:
* Cold calling on the street – when was the last time anybody got invited in to make their pitch?
* Cold calling on the phone – talking to voice mail isn’t fun anymore.
* Print and other broadcast media – far too expensive and unproductive.
* Email – authorized sender lists and other filters send these to Trash.
* SEO your marketing site – Google ranks advertisers first and content (in blogs) next.
* Adwords – cost per click is driven up by big brand budgets and only Google makes money.
On top of these is the resistance we all have to intrusive advertising. Our brains, our Firefox or our Tivo, allows us to filter it out.
b) Social Media platforms aren’t intended for marketing, but do help us get messages out there, to people interested in the subject. The creators built these systems so communities could interact, on the Internet. Members avoid advertising like everybody else, but as in other social places, they are open to meeting people and learning and sharing. Participating in these communities, we can meet people who are buying what we sell.
Social Media Marketing is:
1. More effective
2. Wider reach to people who are interested
3. Free!
The Seven Secrets to Being Welcome
Getting started with SMM can appear intimidating. All of these places seem full of experts who use their own special languages. We have to write and publish stuff in ways people want to read. Most of all it seems to take up so much time.
But actually it’s easy, provided we stick to the fundamental principles:
* Avoid Internet Marketing Experts like the plague. Sites are dominated by these characters trying to drive readers to their blogs, in the hope they’ll click an Ad. They know less about SMM than we do, or they wouldn’t act the way they do.
* Find some genuine (there are a few) SMM experts and read what they generously share in their blogs. A great starting place is chrisbrogan.com. Find Chris’ paper “Fish Where the Fish Are” for the most clear explanation.
* Sign up to sites where your prospects, or people they know, hang out. Be social. Fill out your profile as if you’re joining a club. In Social Media, members like to know the person behind the business. It’s just like meeting people at a cocktail party.
* Write blog posts on stuff you really understand. Make these posts short, to the point, and offer genuine expertise. The objective here is not winning a Pulitzer Prize – it’s sharing your expertise. Don’t pretend to know something. Frauds are exposed in a heartbeat.
* Write comments in forums, sharing what you know with people who don’t. Answer questions posted with short comments directly on subject. People interested in the same subject watch the answers to questions. The question becomes the focal point of a mini community. Here you can answer one question and have ten people recognize your value add.
* Don’t make promises you can’t keep. Bad news about a product or service will be around the world in a nano second and consign the perpetrator to oblivion.
* DO NOT SELL. There are plenty of fools who do, but they’re noticed as Spammers. There’s no need to sell. When we know what we’re talking about, people in the market will want to buy.
Anybody following these rules will be welcome on discussion forums and other meeting places.
Easy Steps to Global Presence
We need to think of the Internet as a spinning plate. We can stand in the middle and not move while it goes on around us, but we know there’s stuff going on out there. The perimeter is moving much faster then the center. It’s all a blur.
To join in we’ll need to move toward the outside and be prepared to move more quickly. The further we get out there the faster we have to think, and move. What’s happening isn’t near the center, it’s out there on the edges. In today’s world it’s a case of “be out there, or be square”.
In B2B, the good news is we don’t have to get to the extremes of what the gurus are dreaming up. Our audience, being more focused on business than redefining the world, congregates in places where it’s easier to play a part. Not that far from the center. Further out there will be opportunities in the future so we should stake out a place, but we probably aren’t going to do business there – yet.
Most of the sites out there have been started by people wanting to get paid for advertising, one way or another, and run the site for their own benefit. Why not start at Front Office Box User Group ?- it’s run for your benefit. You can manage your own communities, get all your blog posts automatically sent to content distributors. Get your profiles indexed by Search Engines, and advice from the Social Media Marketing group.
At WeCanDo.Biz create a profile in the directory, receive endorsements from customers and business partners, contact other members via messages and post any business needs to the community. Coming soon will be a business forum.
At implu.com find up to the minute details of 167,000 company officers, create a personal profile and share your “stories” about corporate America. There’ll be blogs and a forum coming soon.
Not many people know but you can set up a business profile on Facebook go to Mari Smith for a guide.
Next go to to Linked In. Here we find 25+ million professionals, like us, wanting to connect for business: reconnect with past colleagues, receive job offers, get help from their peers. Linked In has 1,000s of special interest groups and posts questions and answers in 100s of categories.
Growing fast is a host of special interest sites using Ning and Collective X software. Both offer directories of their sites. There are 1,000s of Ning sites, some with 100,000s members, focused on special interest or geography. Ning makes it particularly easy for us to set up our own, and keeps a consistent profile of us and our “friends” across all of it’s sites. Find some interesting groups, join and join in discussions. You’ll be familiar with the way it all works- the user group’s a Ning site.
Spread your Internet footprint by submitting content at Ezine Articles. From December 2008 join AddsYou for more of the same opportunities. Post the same content in Squidoo lenses and Google Knols. Contribute to Knols Debates. – researchers use these like encyclopedia.
Get a Google account. Post content in your Blogspot blog, publish it in Google Sites pages, make videos and publish on You Tube.
Answer others’ questions anywhere you find them – particularly at Linked In, Yahoo Answers and Knol Debates. People appreciate the help, and Google is watching – by now you’re becoming a world authority on your subjects. (worth remembering 99% of the content on the web is regurgitated garbage – if your stuff is good it’s easy to stand out).
Microblogging and What We Can Do With It
At the extreme edge of our plate we come to microblogging with Twitter, Pownce, Yammer, Plurk and a few more – on the face of it the most meaningless service imaginable, with broadcast publishing limited to 140 characters and a host of complimentary software/services adding value to it. The number of people joining Twitter is growing at a blinding rate, because the members are creating purpose for it as they go along. With Twitter the lunatics really have taken control of the asylum.
Even further out we come to Twingr. This is a site/service letting people create their own communities, just like Ning but limited to the 140 character post size. (It’s brand new so might need some time to fix a few things.)
Why limit messages to 140 characters? Because it cuts to the mustard. People out there want to benefit from our insight, not out literary skills. The limit focuses minds on the meat. Readers can scan hundreds of posts in a few minutes, choosing ones they want to know more about.
Microblogging started with simple status updates – what I’m doing now – between friends. Then it exploded with users and innovation.
Now news services monitor Twitter posts to find out what’s happening. Journalists monitor them to find out what people are thinking. Politicians are doing the same, and engaging a new public with their own ideas. Software companies are publishing service notices to their users. Brands don’t need customer surveys anymore, they just monitor Twitter.
Sales guys are monitoring Twitter to find out who’s interested in what, and what’s being said about their competitors. This is the new source of sales leads, and we don’t have to look for them, they come to us.
More than a million early adopters are publishing news and opinions to the rest of the world. The service is so successful, developers everywhere are writing programs to add value – including Twitter Search, monitoring keywords and sending every post using them to our RSS reader, and Twellow, a directory of Twitter users with more than 620,000 entries.
With Twitter we can find new friends and colleagues anywhere in the world. We can learn of a new opportunity, evaluate and decide within just a few minutes.
We can be so much more productive, because we’ve got access to so much more information and support. It’s the ultimate question and answer service.
What’s Next ?
Beats me! We just need to keep up with pace.
Since 1977 my world has revolved around selling – everything from milking machines to mainframes, and from debt collection to outsourcing. Life has mostly been fun, and usually profitable. Benefiting from excellent training, and working closely with some truly excellent people has shown me the very best of best practice in the science of selling.

Seo: Business Blog Is An Important Marketing Tool
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
If you’ve never heard the term SEO, let me explain briefly what it does and what it’s for.SEO is the abbreviation for Search Engine Optimization. This is a technique that, when done effectively, draws positive attention from search engines. When your site is optimized for search engines you will find your web presence easier to find when potential customers begin their search.When developing a site for SEO a web site owner needs to make sure they utilize a keyword or key phrase that will be noticed by the search engine. The optimum number of times the keyword or phrase should be used is around 3-5%. for more detials:-www.search-engine-premiere.com.If you use the term less it may not be noticed and if you use it much more it may be considered a spamming technique thus panelizing your site. You may also find that the content is hard to read if you insist on placing the keyword or phrase in places that do not read naturally.You’ll notice that the title of this article has to do with blogging. When you check out various keywords or phrases you will often find blogs that are listed among the top ten for the phrase. What this means is that if you develop a business blog to benefit your online business you should also work to ensure your core keyword or phrase is evident in your posts.Because blogs are updated more often than full websites the interest in your site may be strong when it comes to search engines. It is possible a business blog might actually outperform your primary website in terms of search engine rankings simply because there is more information to consider. for visit detials:-www.thesearchengineprimer.com.What this means is you may have more visitors to your blog than to your primary site. However this is exactly why your business blog can be an important marketing tool for your primary site.Here’s the equationOptimized blog + high search engine rankings = increased traffic to primary siteYou just need to make sure that every post includes a reason for visitors to come to your primary site and you need to make sure a link is provided with every post on the profile page.You can blog for SEO and you can also blog for traffic building.Consider your business blog a funnel that helps direct the curious to a better answer to the questions they have about the very search term they used to find you.

How to Use Social Media Tools to Achieve Web 2.0 Optimization
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
The Internet is changing and the changes are happening quickly. Luckily, the changes are in the favor of entrepreneurs, small businesses, authors, and small presses. Welcome to Web 2.0 and social media.
Learning about and utilizing these new tools and technologies is essential to establish a dynamic and truly connected Web presence. The beauty of Web 2.0 is that it is driven by the people who use it. Unlike today’s Internet, Web 2.0 relies more on a site’s popularity among the masses. Incorporating social media optimization alongside search engine optimization enables anyone to establish a truly optimized Web presenceespecially if paired with a meaningful message.
The tools available to achieve this optimization are numerous but can seem overwhelming. However, once armed with a general knowledge, it is easy to select the tools and technologies to catalyze the greatest amount of Web traffic.
According to Wikipedia, Web 2.0 “refers to a perceived second-generation of web-based communities and hosted servicessuch as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomieswhich aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.” Additionally, Wikipedia defines social media as “the online technologies and practices that people use to share opinions, insights, experiences, and perspectives. Social media sites typically use technologies such as blogs, message boards, podcasts, wikis, and vlogs to allow users to interact.” Thus, Web 2.0 and social media optimization means optimizing one’s Web presence in three general ways: Interactivity, Sharing, and Collaboration.
Interactivity
The essential premise of social media is that information (media) offered to users will be interactive. Social, in a word, means interactive and interactivity can be accomplished in many ways, whether it is allowing readers to comment on or share content, subscribe to it so they can have it on hand, or display the content on their own site.
To make online content more interactive, Web 2.0 and social media users can implement these tools and technologies:
* Blogging, using WordPress or Typepad
* RSS Feeds (see Feedburner for more information on RSS feeds)
* Podcasting and Vidcasting
* Wikis
* Social Media News (Press) Releases
* Social Media Newsrooms
* Image tools such as Snapshots
Sharing
Sharing in the “live” Web means that content is offered to others through blogging indexes and media communities; by tagging interesting sites on social bookmarking sites; or by developing mini applications like widgets or mash-ups.
Remember: Anything that can be posted to a Web site will have some type of “media community” in which to share it.
To begin “sharing” content in the live Web, Internet users can:
* Include their Blog, Podcast, or Vidcast in directories like Technorati, Google Blog Search, Podcast.com, or BlogPulse
* Tag their favorite blogs and Web sites on social bookmarking sites like Technorati and del.icio.us
* Share and tag multimedia in Media Communities like Flickr and YouTube
* Use Collage tools or Webcasting like SplashCast Media or blogTV
* Create and distribute Widgets or Mash-ups using services like widgetbox, Open Social, or Yahoo Pipes.
Collaboration
Web 2.0 and social media users need to be willing to give back. This could mean commenting regularly on others’ content, joining and contributing to a social networking site, contributing to crowd-sourced news sites, or becoming an avatar in a virtual reality.
Specifically, some of these efforts may include:
* Commenting on others’ blogs (using co.mments is a good way to track them)
* Contributing to crowd-sourced news aggregators like reddit, Digg, or Fark
* Creating profiles on social or professional networking sites like LinkedIn, MySpace, or Facebook
* Participating in microblogs like Twitter or Jaiku
* Posting events in social calendars such as eventful.com, or upcoming.org
* Becoming an avatar in a virtual world like Second Life or There
* Participating in communities or forums like a Yahoo group, a Google group, or starting your own using services like Ning.
Participating in the new, live Web is ultimately about connecting with people. A common mistake businesses make is to apply old methods to these new tools. It has been disastrous for many of them. With a real and conversational message and general understanding of the new social media tools and technologies, anyone can participate in the new Internet and find tremendous benefit from their efforts!

How To Make Money Online With A BLOG And Google
November 18, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
If you conduct any business online or maintain a website to compliment your offline business, then blogging is quickly becoming a mandatory part of your future. And if you are not currently blogging, chances are after realizing the potential of these traffic-enhancing goldmines, you soon will be!
Blogs, derived from the words “web log” were originally thought of as simply online diaries a place for people to record their thoughts and inspirations. At first, no one took blogging very seriously and these collections of online thoughts were simply passed off by many as hobbies or creative outlets and nothing more.
But then Google came along and started to recognize the unique and original content that these trite little sites presented and the rules of the game suddenly changed. After all, unique content is what makes the Google world go round, and what better way to command the attention of Google than by creating a dynamic environment with content that is solely your own.
At this stage, a whole new SEO world emerged and in the process, brought with it traffic opportunities like never before. People began blogging on more than what they had for dinner last night. They started to blog about new products, exciting travel adventures and all things related to online commerce.
The evolution quickly continued and today, with RSS feeds, sites like pingoat.com and many other content clearinghouses, blogging is big business and not to be overlooked by hungry entrepreneurs looking to establish a web presence.
What currently makes blogging so attractive is the sheer speed with which blogs and blog posts are able to get indexed in the search engines. It is a simple matter of static versus dynamic and the search engines love the dynamic.
Let’s take two different scenarios to see how traditional websites and blogs differ in their index-ability:
Scenario One:
One person creates a website to advertise gardening products and services. Each page of the site contains the traditional information about the company; it’s founders, the services they offer and the products they sell. Maybe, at best, the site has articles and content that is updated with some small frequency that are relevant to the avid gardener. When visitors arrive at the site, they have the option of signing up for the company newsletter and receiving valuable tips and new offerings.
In this scenario, the Webmaster or business owner will need to tend to many SEO related tasks in order to get and maintain high search engine ranking for a tight list of selected keywords related to the gardening niche. Not only will this activity require great skill, it will also involve many hours to achieve the intended results.
Scenario Two:
The same business owner as above also creates a blog to supplement their company website. Now, instead of focusing on simply one set of tightly selected keywords, the blog itself remains a broad overview of the gardening niche, while each individual post reflects a drilled down topic within that same niche.
So when the business owner writes a blog post about the benefits of “organic vegetable gardening in backyard containers,” this individual post becomes a keyword rich, targeted wonder and when indexed by the search engines has a far greater opportunity to bringing highly targeted traffic to the blog based upon that single post.
Through time, the blog expands with many similar posts that are targeted to sub niches within the broader gardening niche and can even be categorized from inside the blog structure itself. What has now been created in Google’s eyes is an extremely dynamic, naturally evolving site that is content rich and niche specific.
When properly constructed and promoted, each time the business owner posts to the blog, that individual post can get indexed in anywhere from two to twenty four hours on average. This opportunity is far greater than any options available at the static website.
Additionally, when the business owner endeavors to have a visitor signup for a newsletter, further segmenting can occur and subscriber lists can be refined and targeted. And because the blog is the front-end showcase to the original website, each blog post has the opportunity to link back to specific and relevant products at the main site.
When properly structured, blogs are the biggest SEO asset to a website that currently exists. The wise business owner will recognize these benefits and when implemented, will enjoy many opportunities that do not currently exist with traditional websites alone.
