A Blog and your Internet Marketing

A Blog can be a main Internet hustle or an addition to your arsenal of marketing strategies. Forums, articles, videos, give-aways, how-to’s, member sites, audios’, etc are all part of a dominating mix of marketing tools.

Oh, I forgot to mention the Blog. I like to think of a Blog for what it is, a Web Log or journal.

I use to feel like a Blog would be too much to maintain. Having never had a Diary or a Journal as a child or adult I didn’t realize how easy it was to write about what you do on a day to day basis.

At the moment I spend 5 or more days a week building my Internet Marketing Empire so I have a lot to talk about. Everything in Internet Marketing doesn’t go smoothly and those things make for a great read.

So if you are getting your Internet Hustle on (no matter the capacity) put your day to day grind in a Blog, keep it relevant to one of your websites and link to it.

A Blog can create a flood of Online Interest in your business. Although your Blog posts may be about how you run your shop you can still use keyword strategies and even post to Ezines.

I have to admit I set this Blog up earlier this year, posted a couple of things then started a new marketing strategy and let my Blog collect dust.

I have realized my mistake in not regularly building my Blog but then again I’m a very busy man. My family will not allow me to let Internet Marketing consume me.

My advise to anyone contemplating building a blog but wants to do it “right the first time”, would be to start it and shape it as you go.

But…

If your blogging for advertising dollars, Plan to Build a Blog that has relevant topics.

At Home Data Entry Clerk Jobs

Everyone has thought about working from home at one time or another but with the day to day trials of life makes it is hard to get motivated. Data Entry Clerk is a home based business that can be added to many forms of computing and or typing. For instance, Google Adwords data entry jobs have been popping up online.

While searching for a Data Entry Clerk Job I immediately noticed that a company had created a program that basically allowed users to enter ad campaigns for advertising on Google. Most would call this Internet Marketing but since you’re "entering data" it has been transformed into something else for those unfamiliar with online businesses. This is not a scam but an ingenious way to earn extra income advertising products with a high conversion rate.

The only drawback is that your ads have to attract targeted traffic. The link you send your traffic to must to cater to their need which in most cases is enticing them to buy. If you do not have the experience with these two steps then get it before you waste your time and money.

Other Data Entry Clerk Jobs are paid based on how much work you finish accurately. Records Keeping also known as Book Keeping are data entry positions that are often outsourced. What this means for you is that you can take advantage of as many positions that you can handle. Remember; accuracy and the amount of work you finish are key.

When you subscribe too or purchase a data entry course make sure you thoroughly read and complete the materials before publicly commenting on its claims. Some people do not devote the quality time necessary to achieve successful results (follow the instructions) and they immediately cry “scam”.

Proofreading is also considered a data entry job although you may not have to enter much data. Most people, me included write numerous articles but do not own any proofreading software so we depend on the human element to check our punctuation.

Becoming a part-time Data Entry Clerk can end up a full-time experience if done and promoted correctly. Once you have built a solid foundation of profitable positions you can solicit others who are interested in similar money earning online home based businesses.

Opt-in Email Generation And Your Website

Starting an Internet business can and should be done on a shoe string budget.

But...

If you do have the scratch [money] to invest in your business then I suggest you do so. The funny thing about investing YOUR MONEY in your business is that; well it’s "your money". Heck, I'm no spring chicken and I need to get my business moving. So I have decided that in order to free up time to create another stream of income I need to outsource.

I’ve always wanted to build a large email list of people interested in online business and the many components it takes to build it into a successful empire. To achieve the email addresses of any semi-targeted market you need to offer something only that market would be interested in and offer it at no charge.

Yes…give it away!

So, I outlined a 35+ page report and requested bids on compiling it into a PDF. Along with the PDF I will be an audio/video for those who respond well to visuals. I will convert my home page into a landing page for people to opt into my email list. Those who receive the PDF can share it as long as the Reprint Guidlines are followed.

I will have a cool book and CD e-cover created; get a professional photo and some irresistable but short copy and viola the email signups should start to roll in.

Well not exactly…

To continue generating traffic to my homepage/landing page/squeeze page I will continue to submit articles to over 400 article directories at least once a week (with my link attached). I will also continue to add no more than 2 articles to my websites at least once a week.

Opt in email newsletters should offer something of value for the first 3 weeks with no more than 3 emails per week [and maybe a broadcast]. I will build a trusting relationship with my list and hopefully they will look forward to hearing from me. Occationally I will offer my products for sale and affiliate products that I have purchased and successfully used.

With all the responsibilities I have, adding articles to my website has fallen by the wayside for the last two weeks and I feel terrible about it :-(. In my defence, I have been doing a large amount of Keyword and Keyword Phrase research to ensure that the articles I put out are worth putting out.

Until next time…

Internet Home Based Business Success

I've been using search engines to determine what the top Internet home business websites are talking about. Particularly those websites that are in the top 1-10 in the search engine ranking for the phrase "Work at home business, Internet home based business and the like".

What I've found is that most are discussing the same thing which happens to be what types of at home business opportunities are available.

• Data entry
• Paid Surveys
• Affiliate Marketing
• Google Adwords
• Google Adsence
• Online Auctions
• MLM
• Internet Marketing

Most of these business opportunities are great depending on your current lifestyle and how much time you have to devote to thoroughly researching the opportunity. One thing to consider is that there are plenty of scams out there. Like brick and mortar businesses some online business opportunities run well and some do not, some are out right scams and others may only have a deficiency in their service, support or the information they provide. Either way where you start your research is the most important job in the process.

Learning how Websites market their business and how they get visitors to do what they want.

"How they get visitors to do what they want" simply means: if you are selling something how do you attract people to purchase your product?

Search Engine Optimization has changed. Google, Yahoo, MSN and others continue to tailor there Search Engines to ensure websites have useful and relevant content.

History supports the fact that webmasters could once create a website based on a highly searched keyword or phrase, use that phrase multiple times in the site content (keyword density) and their site would get top ranking in Search Engines.

For instance, if you typed in the word "travel abroad" in Google the top site may have a bunch of useless content but you notice that "travel abroad" appears multiple times throughout the page. Now you may not find any useful info on said website but there may be a Google link to another site with "travel abroad" info that you click on...

Stop... When you click on that link, the company that owns that site gets charged an advertising fee from Google and the creator of the "garbage content" site gets a portion of the fee the "great content" site paid Google (Paid Per Click). Unfortunately Google has started to frown on "garbage content" sites by deindexing them (not listing them in their search engine results).

Much of what is behind a site getting deindexed is automated there is know one sitting down manually monitoring website content.

Search engines us an algorithm: a process programmed to perform functions based off the data it collects. The algorithm uses bots or sometimes called crawlers, web crawlers or web bots to retrieve internet data. This algorithm stores data on:

• backlinks to your website
• determines the quality of those backlinks (are the sites relevant to one another)
• Is the content relevant to the keywords (synonymic terms)
• how often your content appears in other places on the web [slightly different from backlinks but related]

This type of algorithm uses the above and other information to determine how it will rank your website.

As a result most people capitalize on this by getting quality backlinks, using synonymic terms related to their keywords and getting articles posted to numerous article directories.

In order to not get frowned upon by search engine bots you need to follow their rules and create "great content websites". Keep in mind, you need to do your due diligence to ensure your creating a site based off highly searched key phrases, themed content, low keyword density, and ensure your links to pages within your site are set up correctly.

I say "Low Keyword Density [4-10%]" is best; webmasters are starting to see that high keyword density to be a contributing factor in getting websites deindexed and/or pushed far down in rankings.
