HOW TO RESEARCH THE BEST KEYWORDS

People are using search engines to find the things that they want. They are telling the marketers what they are looking for by what they type in. That is why it is important to do the research to know what they are searching for.

The first place to start is to find the market that you are wanting to work with. For example if you want to do women's clothes. This is a very big topic. It is best to narrow it down so that you get the exact people looking for what you are selling. This is called a niche market. It helps to bring the right people to your site. They are the ones that will stay and shop in your web site and put their money down to buy things. If it is not what they are looking for or it is hard to find what they are looking for, they will leave. That is why it is needed to narrow it down so much.

You know you want women's clothes as your market. Now it is time to narrow it down. To find the keywords, look up in search " free keyword tools". You get sites like:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com
http://www.keyworddiscovery.com/

These are just a few that can be used.

Now that you are on the site that you want to use for your keyword search, in the box provided, type in " women's clothes". A list of other things people looked up, that is along the same lines as this. These are examples: " women's clothes", " plus sizes women's clothes", " discount women's clothes", " women's travel clothes". These can help you narrow it down. If all you are selling is plus sizes women's clothes, it would not be a good match for someone looking for Tall and Thin women's clothes. They would leave.

Why are keywords needed? They can help you when you are writing ads. They can help you say the same thing more than one way so it is not boring to read. They help you to narrow down the field so that you get the people that are interested in what you are selling or providing. If they want what you are selling or providing they are more likely to buy what you have.

Keywords are great when creating your web pages. The keywords help the search engines find you. If the search engines find you you get more traffic and more people buying what you have.It is a win win, you get sales, the people get what they were looking for.

By looking up the keywords you might come up with more ways of say what you want to, with many different ways of saying it. For example: " online marketing", " online marketing business", " business marketing online", " marketing online", " online marketing campaigns". Many different ways of saying the same thing.

This help you get more traffic because you are using more than one of the keywords. These people are all looking for the same things. That helps you every time.

As you do the research, it helps in these ways as you use the keyword tools that these sites provider.
Different search term that they suggest.
Seasonal search trends.
Related keyword searches.
Miss spelling of words - that way you can profit from these as well, it can get you more money.
Industry keywords - example for a Dental Lab. that makes crowns and bridges, some of the keywords would be: " model and die", "coping", "anterior and posterior", "porcelain shades",
" veneers ". Not every one would know what these mean, but to some one in the industry they are the keywords.

If you are trying to promote your web site, write ad copy, running PPC campaigns, blogging or writing content for press releases, articles and so much more you need these keywords. Do the research to identify what the keywords are. I have given you what to do with them after you have found them. Now it is time to put them to work.

I would like to know how they work for you. Leave a comment. I would be glad to hear from you. Join me again next time.

5 KEY STRATAGIES OF FREEDOM

This is good information by Terry Dean www.mymarketingcouch.com . He is a great teacher the more you can learn from him the better. This is some of the information that I have learned from him.

5 key strategies of freedom

1. Choose the right market idea
2. Prolific product development
3. High conversion websites
4. Generate targeted buying traffic
5. Create systems that do the work for you


1. Choose the right market idea

To find the market you need to find the hungry crowd first. You need to know what they are needing, so that you can answer to that need. These are some sites that help you to search them out to find what people are looking for that you can provide what they need.
http://toolsseobook.com , http://www.wordtracker.com for key words and phrases, http://www.boardreader.com for forums that you can read what the problems are.

Next in your list of things to do is find out if others are making money with these ideas. These are web sites that will help you to search out the information on how is making money and with what they are making money with ( key words and phrases.) http://paypal.com/shops , http://clickbank.com/marketplace and http://pulse.ebey.com .

2. Prolific product development

You need to compete in a competitive marketplace with the products that you develop. If the competition has DVD's, then you do ebooks. If they are doing ebooks, then you do articles to post. If they are doing articles, then you can do newsletters. In other words find something different that the competition is not doing so that you can stand out in the crowd.

Have more than one product to sell to people. It is also helpful to have multiple streams of income ( get one started first then add more.) Your first sale is to generate a customer, keep them coming back for more.

Now it is time to focus on methods to generate products quickly. (A) You can start with making short reports that can be given away as an incentive to join your newsletter or as a thank you for your order. (B) Other people have written articles and other thing that they are willing to let other people use them. They are in public domain areas. (C) Do an interview with someone that is knowledgeable in an area of interest and make it into an article that can be posted. (D) Do a webinar, charge a small amount for people to come join you as you teach the subject that you have planed.(E) Use a camcorder and make a video for example a day in the life of a real estate agent.

3. High conversion web sites

The web site is the strongest leverage available to you.

Three Quick Million Dollar Tips
A. Type out top producing letters ( from other people). This imprints it into your brain and you learn to write better every time that you do this. That way you can teach yourself to write good sales copy.
B. Find the big hook in your offer.
C. Write like you speak.

There is only one teacher that is 100% right all the time. It is not a person, it is the test market.
Google optimizer is a free multivariate testing solution.

4. Generate targeted buying traffic.

It is not visitors we're after. It is buyers

Three Methods for Delivering Buyers
A. Content such as blogging, articles and videos.
B. PPC and other paid advertising.
C. Affiliates
With affiliates, you have to: find them, equip them and motivate them.

5. Create systems that work for you.

A real business is a profitable system that works for you... instead of you working for it.

Train your team members with step-by-step systems in written procedures and videos.

Leverage them to work without you having to manage them.

Not using systems is like trying to run an internet business with an old typewriter. That does not work.

ALTERNATIVE WAYS TO DO ADS WITH SOLO ADS, EZINES AND NEWSLETERS

These are three ways to do paid ads that are a little different that can help you to increase to your list and your pocket book.

1. Solo ads - the best way to do this is to search solo ads. Do not just go with the first ad that you see check them out. Do not stop at page 1, you might do better by going to other pages 2,3,4,5,6 and so on these might be really good companies. They might have less people using the list that you are sending to and so better results. Test them out, start small and work you way up to the big numbers as they prove that they can deliver what they say. This is using other people's list to build your list.

2. Ezines and ezine directories do your home work first. Read them carefully. When they say $20.00, it might be $20.00 a month. Do not get stuck. As with above, start small and work your way up. Great way to get ads and people to your web site.

3. Newsletters are also a way to do ads. Since newsletters are going out to niche groups, your can pick the one that fits best with what you are doing. Check to see how often it goes out. Is it weekly, by weekly, monthly. Choose the one that fits your needs best.

The better your ads are the better that you will do. Write them yourself or hire someone else to write them for you. One of the best ways to learn to write good ads is, look at other ads. If it is something that you would click on them others would also. Learn what they are doing right. Follow that for yourself. Do not forget the headlines, they are what catch the eye. If they jump out at you they will jump of for someone else. Enjoy, do your homework first, test by starting small and add to that.

ONLINE MARKETING 4 WAYS TO BUILD INTEREST IN YOU WEB SITE

Why people fail with online marketing. People are befuddled with the lack of response that they are getting from the marketing campaigns they are doing. They say " I have tried everything". What they really mean is that they have tried the one or two things that they know how to do. These are not working. No traffic and no sales.

Here are four ways that can help. They are free of cost, but they will take you some time and effort. They can be linked to each other and to your capture pages.

1. Start a blog. Choose something that you are interested in. It does not have to be long. Start with two or three paragraphs. It is ok if it is a bit longer. If it is to long make it into two posts. Post something every day. It keeps people coming back for more. ( You will need about ten posts for searches to even find you so keep going. ) If you are writing them you can copyright them. Sign your name, put in your email, add a link to your capture page.
2. Go to a site like: www.dig.com , www.zimbio.com or look in search under blog directories for more. These two are free to join. They can help you get placed higher in the search engines and get more traffic to your blog.
3. Write articles. (You can use some of your longer blogs and make them into articles.) Post them to places like: www.ezinearticles.com or www.zimbio.com or google article posting to fined more places to post them. ( Look for the free sites.) Remember they do not like a lot of links in the articles that you post with them.
4. These are a few other places that are free to post things, including ads: www.facebook.com , www.myspace.com , www.youtube.com ( great place for video ads for your site), www.adlandpro.com , www.backpage.cm , www.craigslist.org, these are free and can give your site more exposure, more traffic and sales.

FOUR REASONS TO USE CAPTURE PAGES

As your ads send people to your web site, they are directed to the capture page. It is short and sweet and to the point. It is a way to have people give you the information that you want, such as name, email, phone number and address. Four ways that it is important:

1.This helps you to create your list. They become your leads.
2. You can email to them with more offers later as follow up offers. They are more likely to buy from you if they have bought from you before.
3. The serious leads return to your site, call or email you again.
4.On top of that once the person fills out their information they are immediately redirected to your web page. They learn more about what you have to offer. They have a greater chance of buying more things from you and they come back more.

You get more opt-in leads, they help you build your business one person at a time. You can continue to email them. It is best to email them once or twice a week. If some one says that they are spamed you copy the capture page and email it to them and them remove them off the list. That way they do not say that you spamed them. They just might come back again.

LEARNING ABOUT NICHE MARKETING

How do you come up with a niche market? Choose something that you are passionate about or that you know something about. Example: Travel. If you own a travel business then you would know about travel. This is a very big area. You need to narrow it down some. Let's try for example: travel by train. This is still a big area. You can narrow it down to a country or a specific part of a county. This needs to be as specific as possible.

The reason that it needs to be as specific as possible is to narrow it down. That way you get the traffic to your blog or web site that really want what you have. It help you get more sales. People to sign up for your news letter or what you are trying to do with your site. This really helps with your business.

Now it is time for you to find your niche. What is your niche? How are you going to use that niche market?

BLOGGING CAN HELP BUILD YOUR LIST

Are you doing a blog? Find others that are blogging about similar subjects. This is a good place to look http://www.blogs.com . It will give you the top ten in the area that you are looking in. Go look at the other blogs. If they have things that interest you and you like it. Let them know that you like it, post a comment on their blog. ( Don't push what you have, but just talk about the blog that you are on.) You might get a comment back from them. You could become friends because you have a lot in common.

After you get to know each other, you might get the other person saying on there blog " go look at Jane Doe's blog." she has good things to say and I have learned from her. You could do the same for them. You both benefit from the exchange. Friendship for one thing. Sharing people on your lists. If you are blogging every day, it gets hard sometimes to come up with things to write about. If your friend has something good on that day, you could make a reference to your friends blog. Put a hyper link to there blog.
