\nBWMagic\u2019s Internet Marketing News!<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

The beginning of September has always been the most
\ndreaded time of the year for me. Summer has just ended and
\nthe long cold days of winter lie in waiting.<\/p>\n

The first days of September also means “Back To Work” time
\nfor me. In years past, it meant getting ready for a new
\nschool year and all the work that entailed. Now it means
\ngetting back to my Internet stuff. Just guess which one
\nI would rather be doing?<\/p>\n

It also means a time for new directions and changes.
\nReassessing what works and where to best spend your time
\nand efforts. This year I will be concentrating on increasing
\nmy traffic to my different sites and finding new ways to boost
\nthose numbers.<\/p>\n

Two new directions for me are videos and social media\/networking.
\nUnfortunately, these two areas are way out of my comfort zone,
\nhowever, one thing I have learned from working full-time on the
\nweb, you must follow the crowd, no matter where they lead you.<\/p>\n

You must plug your sites into the whole mix of what is happening
\non the web. In other words, you must follow the traffic. Right now
\nthere is a definite swing to videos and social networking sites.
\nYou must embrace these two areas if you want to get maximum
\ntraffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Videos<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span>
\nI have had enough success with videos that I went out and bought
\na new camcorder (Canon Vixia HF200 – great little machine) with
\nthe hope of making some “over the shoulder videos” of the different
\nmarketing techniques and tactics I use in the daily running of my
\n9 or 10 websites.<\/p>\n

Videos are a simple way to bring in traffic and sales. And it’s
\nnot that difficult – I am still kinda shocked to realize some young
\nteenager not even in high school can pull in 4 or 5 grand a month
\nby partnering with Google Adsense on YouTube.<\/p>\n

For many people, that’s a full-time income. Heck, when I was in my
\nStarving Artist Stage – 5 grand would have made a nice yearly income!<\/p>\n

Videos present an excellent way of producing sales and traffic.<\/p>\n

They are also great for building your contact list. Many popular
\nYouTubers have lists of over 1 million subscribers. Just imagine
\nthe marketing power of releasing a video about your favorite product
\nor program to hundreds of thousands of loyal subscribers.<\/p>\n

Then there are the pure marketing benefits of using videos. It is
\na perfect way to get your point across. I can’t remember any recent
\nmajor product launch that DIDN’T has at least one video on the
\nsales page. Videos have become a marketing stable for selling your
\nproducts – online or off.<\/p>\n

So try producing your own videos or have someone else produce them
\nfor you. If you’re like me, the real problem is getting the time
\nto make your own videos – I am hoping I will get the time to explore
\nfor myself the whole process of making my own videos but if that
\ndoesn’t work out I can still use the video services offered by such
\nplaces as Phantonwriters.com… they produce very professional videos
\nwhich work.<\/p>\n

Video marketing is the wave of the future on the net so you simply
\ncan’t ignore this excellent way of bringing in more traffic and sales.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nSocial Networking Sites<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have been marketing on the web for some time – it’s really
\nhard to believe how new social media\/network sites have changed
\nhow business is done. The growing importance of Twitter is just
\none example of how quickly these sites have invaded our daily
\nroutines.<\/p>\n

It has also become an excellent way to build your list of contacts
\nand an excellent way to announce any new product or program you want
\nyour contacts to know about. Online marketers are taking advantage
\nof Twitter to build their traffic and to boost their sales.<\/p>\n

I have started using Twitter myself but as mentioned before I am
\nnot one for these social networking sites… I would rather concentrate
\nmy marketing efforts on ranking high for my chosen lucrative keywords
\nbut I can’t ignore Twitter because it has become a popular program
\neveryone and their grandmother is using. You have to take advantage
\nand plug your site and marketing into this whole traffic hub.<\/p>\n

Mainly because your content must be seen as relevant by the search
\nengines and one simple way to do this is to tie it all in with these
\nnew network sites… I make it a point to have my content linked
\n(in one way or another) to many of the top 50 sites on the Internet.
\nThat’s why I like using sites\/programs like Blogspot\/Blogger,
\nYouTube, Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, WordPress, Wiki, Craiglist…
\netc.<\/p>\n

Try linking\/connecting your site\/content to all these top-ranked
\nsites in the world and you will see a marked improvement in both
\nyour traffic and sales. You must place your content into the whole
\nmix of what’s happening on the web.<\/p>\n

Getting your content into these places\/sites is not difficult. In fact
\nit is extremely simple – you can even place your content there yourself
\nor have your visitors place it there for you.<\/p>\n

Can’t count how many times I have told you about the free AddThis.com
\nbutton which lets your visitors bookmark your content in all of the
\nabove sites FOR YOU. This button and others like it, actually works
\nif you have quality, interesting content to share… you will also
\nsee a rise in your rankings because the search engines are paying
\nspecial attention of what content gets repeatedly bookmarked by ordinary
\nweb users.<\/p>\n

Using this social bookmark button or others like it is a simple way
\nto boost your traffic and sales.<\/p>\n

Are you using it?<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n


\n……………………………..
\nOther Ways Of Boosting Traffic And Sales
\n…………………………….. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

When I need to get more traffic and sales… here are some of the
\nthings I do:<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/p>\n


\n<\/b>1. Write Quality Articles & Distribute Them All Over The Web<\/b><\/p>\n

Doesn’t quite work as well as it once did but for popular articles
\nthat get picked up and placed on countless related sites, article
\nmarketing is still one of my most effective ways of getting traffic
\nand sales. I mainly use Ezinearticles, Phantomwriters, iSnare,
\nSubmityourarticle… for getting my articles out there.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n2. Put Out Press Releases<\/b><\/p>\n

I am seeing great short term and long term results by using Press Releases.
\nThey have become one of my major marketing tools of the moment,
\nI am mainly using PRWeb but it is rather expensive. So if you’re on a
\ntight budget, you can try the many free press release sites such as
\nwww.1888pressrelease.com<\/span><\/p>\n


\n3. Increase My PPC Advertising Budget in Google Adwords, Yahoo and
\nMicrosoft.<\/b><\/p>\n

When I want targeted traffic fast – I simply buy it! But be careful
\nbecause you have to know exactly what you’re doing with PPC or you can
\nlose a lot of money fast. So do your homework first.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n4. Release a New Video On YouTube<\/b><\/p>\n

YouTube is a great place for getting more traffic coming to your
\nsite or sites. I like doing “how-to” videos and offering free guides
\nto build up my contact list of interested customers. The sale is in
\nthe follow-up.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n5. Post More Entries In My Different Blogs Around The Web <\/b><\/p>\n

I have blogs with Blogger, WordPress, LiveJournal, Bloglines… this
\nalways brings in immediate traffic to my sites and it is extremely
\neasy to do. Just make sure the content is of high quality and it will
\nget picked up or linked to on other related blogs.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n6. Create More Keyword Targeted Content For My Many Different Sites<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a more “long-term” solution for me, but this is the most effective
\nway to get good quality traffic, especially from Google. Until Bing\/Yahoo
\nenters the picture, Google simply supplies the most search traffic on the
\nweb so gear your sites towards Google for the immediate future.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n7. Release a new viral eBook, Report or Guide <\/b><\/p>\n

Many times I even create a new website to go along with these new guides.
\nThe most vital part of selling on the web is that you must never play the
\npushy-salesman role; but rather be a helpful guide who buyers turn to for
\nhelp and information. Learn the art of the “Pre-Sell” and you will
\nsucceed online. Let the real selling be done by your affiliate partners.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\n8. Send Out Newsletters to all my Different Contact Lists<\/b><\/p>\n

I run many newsletters and follow-up programs; it is still one
\nof the best ways to get repeat traffic to my sites. Sometimes
\nI wonder the wisdom of passing along the marketing tactics and
\ntechniques I use to create profitable sites since I am really giving
\nmy competition some valuable information that can be used against
\nme. But I have over-ruled myself and only keep the very vital
\nspecific stuff relating directly to my sites secret.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n9. Do Joint Projects With My Online Contacts and Fellow Marketers<\/b><\/p>\n

The more you help others, the more you will succeed. This is also
\nthe main reason I keep writing this newsletter, I have been tempted
\nmany times to shut it down because of what I discussed
\nabove – information can be used against you, especially in very
\ncompetitive niches. However, I get more good results than bad by
\nhelping other people succeed online!<\/span><\/p>\n


\n10. Use Your Site’s Raw Traffic Logs and Stats<\/b><\/p>\n

When I get some spare time – I spend it digging through my raw
\ntraffic log stats. I hunt down lucrative long-tail keyword phrases
\nthat are already bringing in some traffic and sales. I then boost my
\nrankings for these keyword phrases by placing them in article titles,
\nblog posts, etc. and linking that content to my ranking page. By closely
\nmonitoring what keywords are bringing in the traffic and sales…
\nI can adjust my marketing to rank higher for those keywords, mainly
\nin Google.<\/p>\n

My content is ranked for thousands of keywords but the real trick is finding
\nthe profitable ones and building traffic for those specific keywords and
\nboosting your sales. Close examination and tracking of my site’s traffic
\nlogs will offer up the real jewels in the crown. The same probably applies
\nto your site or sites. Go find those long-tail keywords and exploit them.<\/p>\n

I hope these tips help you in some way. Trying just some of them should
\nbring in more traffic and sales… they work for me and they should
\nalso work for you.<\/p>\n
