No comments

By Deep Arora

  These days there are those who would argue you would have to be living under the proverbial rock to not have at least heard of social media. Even those out there who arent even slightly internet savvy have heard of Facebook or MySpace. Social media are the tools that are utilised by just such sites, and there is an increasing number of businesses out there that are developing a presence in this field as well.

With a tool such as Facebook there are businesses out there that are developing enormous followings, and this is an advantageous step to take. If you have everything in good working order, and you are well connected with your customers, then social media gives you an opportunity to feel updates directly to your customers own pages. This makes it one of the easiest possible ways to keep your customers or potential customers up to date with everything you are doing, all from the one place and simultaneously. Even email cant boast being quite so streamlined!

Another popular new social media tool that has taken off in a big way, is Twitter. This is toll that sends out short messages, around 140 characters max. To those linked into receive your updates. As with Facebook this is a direct line of communication with your customers, and if you are clever with how you use these short and sharp tweets you can get your message across to your customers in a witty and succinct format. There is also the possibility for those interested to have this linked into their mobile phones, receiving your twitters as text messages. For the originator of the tweet, it is possible to link your tweets into your web page or blog via an RSS feed.

This brings us to the other social media platform that has shown phenomenal expansion over the last little while, blogging. Few of us arent familiar with blogging these days, so the question that many are asking is how it is of benefit to a business. Well as with Facebook or Twitter this is a great format that allows direct communication with customers.

Creating a business blog however, allows you to go much further than this. For starters a blog is not limited to 140 characters! That said, a blog provides you with the opportunity to show your expertise in your area of business. You can communicate new ideas and developments to your customers and communicate with them via the blog space. Customers have the opportunity to leave comments and this allows you to develop better understanding of their particular needs.

These are only a few of the social media opportunities that are available, there is a number of others that are also worthwhile exploring if you are serious about using this format to grow your business. If you are ready to start linking in with customer and expanding and developing your direct communications, then these options are worth taking the time to explore. As marketing tools go these are some of the cheapest and easiest forms of direct communication tools around. Investigate which options to pursue, and consider the fairly small outlay for getting these up and running. Especially these tools may hold great appeal for the small business owner with the bottom line to consider.

By Matt Bacak

  Articles provide you with all those things. You can earn a great deal of money from articles. In fact, if you do it correctly you can go from your full time job to full time Internet marketing in only three months. These techniques work in any niche, not just Internet niches.

On the Internet you need:

1. Content

2. Traffic

3. Marketing and List of highly qualified people

4. Products from your articles

Tip: If you want to become a prolific expert in your niche then do these four things: article writing, article marketing, article submission, and article income.

There are four pillars of article marketing which include:

1. Article writing: Writing articles for your business.

2. Article marketing: Getting your name and info in front of more people

3. Article submission: Not so much about how you submit articles, but where you submit.

4. Article income: Earning money from your article.

First of all, let’s dispel three myths about the Internet:

Internet Myth #1: But I can’t write.

Why this is a lie: Even if you don’t believe you can write, you can still write articles. It doesn’t matter your background or education. If you can write a 7-items grocery list then you can write a 7 tips article that will bring you publicity and profits.

Internet Myth #2: The Internet is just too crowded.

Why this is a lie: You can blanket the Internet and create a massive web presence that draws people to you. You can dominate your niche. You can be the go-to guy in your niche.

Internet Myth #3: You can’t make money with articles.

Why this is a lie: Your competition will say this because they don’t want you to write articles. Let everyone else believe it, but know that they are wrong. There are actually 21 ways to make money from your articles.

Now, back to article writing:

You can make it simple by using instant article templates. These are excellent outlines for articles.

Favorite template: The 7 = 8 instant article writing template.

Think of a specific topic in your niche and write down 7 tips or suggestions about this topic. The minimum article word count at e-zinearticles is only 250 words which means there are 35-36 words per tip.

The first article you write covers the 7 tips in a broad overview. Then write 7 more articles where each article covers one tip in depth.

So get started on writing your first article. It is the first step in profiting from articles and anybody can do it.

There are many strategies to making money on the internet, but nothing makes sense unless you have a big list. Email Marketing is the most profitable way to make money on the internet.
