How To Build A Killer Squidoo Lens For Marketing Online

Squidoo is quickly becoming a great way to market a business online and earn income via affiliate programs.In case you don't know, Squidoo is a free resource that allows anyone to build web pages (referred to as "lenses") about anything and everything.From an Internet Marketing perspective, these lenses can be extremely search engine friendly and drive massive traffic to your website.

Here are 10 strategies to build a great Squidoo lens that will bring traffic and money your way.

1.Make sure you completely fill out your entire Squidoo profile.This includes adding an interesting bio about yourself and a photo that represents you.Doing this will let people on Squidoo know what you're about and encourage them to read more of your lenses


2.

The name you choose for your lens is very important.Your title needs to be unique and catchy rather than bland and generic.The title also needs to point out exactly what the page is about and should include search terms that people would use when seeking out the info you are providing.

For example, the title "Why Dalmatians Are The Coolest Dogs Ever!" beats the pants off "About Dalmatian Dogs".

3.Write a quality introduction that is appealing and informative to the reader.Your intro should also contain keyword / search terms in order for the search engines to recognize you.Remember that the first line of your intro is often what shows up in the search engines so make sure that it displays your purpose of the lens and targeted keywords.

4.Write killer content that people will enjoy.If you lens lacks content, doesn't entertain or doesn't inform people than nobody is going to want to read it.Pick subjects that you know something about and share your experiences.If people see you are excited that will get them fired up too.As always, don't forget to include your keywords and search terms throughout the copy but make sure you don't go overboard with this (ie.keyword spamming).

5.Include targeted links to related content.Remember that search engines notice not only who is linking to you, but also who you are linking to.Make sure that when you do link to related websites you use targeted words and phrases as your links.For example, if you are writing about Mini Coopers your outgoing links should say something like, "For more info, check out this website on Mini Coopers" instead of just "Click here".You can also add Amazon and other modules that can help with this.

6.Don't forget the graphics.Graphics will help break up your content and encourage people to continue reading.

7.Make sure that you tag your lens with 10 to 30 phrases and keywords that people might search for when looking for your topic.

8.Provide a variety of content.Large blocks of text, ads, graphics, etc can easily lose your reader's attention.Mix it up and spread your lens out.

9.Encourage people to come back to your lens by providing a guestbook and poll.You also want to update or change your content every once in awhile which will help you with the search engines.

10.Make sure you proofread before you publish.Grammar and spelling do matter so utilize your spellchecker and read through your content a few times before you go live.It's also a good idea to have others read your stuff over to catch anything you might have missed.

So now all that's left for you to do is take action and start Squidooing!By putting all these strategies to use it won't take long until you are enjoying targeted traffic to your website compliments of your new Squidoo lenses.

The Four Different Leaflet Distribution Flavours - Which One Are You?

For years the advertising and marketing industry have been selling their wares and getting their messages across through leaflet distribution.It's a simple and cost effective way of raising a profile and selling a product, but there is a lot more to it than a piece of paper with text and graphics printed on it.There are several other factors at play; location, amount, coverage and even what type of leaflet.

The type of leaflet used in a leaflet distribution campaign can say a lot about the product or service you are advertising.It can convey humour or seriousness, the quality of your product and the availability.The choice of what type of medium you choose in your leaflet distribution campaign should be one of the first decisions you make.Making the wrong decision could completely negate any positive effects that the rest of your campaign has.

The word leaflet is widely used to encompass all forms of printed material that can be used in leaflet distribution but also has a more specific meaning.There are in fact four different types of printed material that can be used in a campaign of which a leaflet is just one.

Leaflet - A leaflet is a single printed piece of paper which is usually folded.These leaflets are also known as flyers.They are the easiest to produce, both logistically and economically, and can be used to promote everything from businesses to products and services.They are commonly posted through letter boxes, handed out in the street or inserted into newspapers.Flyers come in many sizes and can be very plain or given a glossy finish to convey a certain image.

Their widespread use has been complimented by the increase in desktop publishing and the ability to combine text and images on home computers.The finished products can be printed at home or sent to a commercial printer.In both instances the images, the message is printed on just one side although this is not always so and leaflets with print on both sides are increasingly common.

Pamphlet - A pamphlet is an unbound series of printed sheets.For businesses or products that have more to advertise or say using a pamphlet in a leaflet distribution campaign is preferable to a leaflet in that it has more space and scope to explain sometimes complicated or list several products or services and any variations on those products or services as well.The fact that it is unbound also means that it is still an affordable option for most businesses.

Pamphlets are often used by businesses that offer a more bespoke service or to sell products that are more exclusive or high end.The look of a pamphlet conveys more of a degree of quality and that can be important depending on what is being advertised.

Poster - Posters can come in all sorts of sizes, usually from A4 onwards.Although posters are more suited to site specific campaigns and are associated with billboards they are becoming increasingly popular in leaflet distribution.They are not as disposable as pamphlets and leaflets and so the thought is that they will be kept longer and displayed in places that it is not easy to get a message displayed.They also convey added quality.

Brochure - A brochure is a step up from a pamphlet in that it is often bound and printed on higher quality material.A brochure is designed to be kept a lot longer than pamphlets and leaflets, often as long as a year.Brochures go into more detail and contain more information and are used in leaflet distribution to advertise top end services and products.

Niche Marketing-Giving Them Exactly What They Want

Niche Marketing is the art of giving people exactly what they want.After you find a potential niche using tools such as Google and WordTracker, you still have to test that market to see exactly what type of product offer will solve their current problems.

If you don't provide the "right" offer to this potential market, the niche will not be profitable for you, regardless of its potential.

Therefore, you have to determine exactly what problems this niche market is facing, what solutions are already out there, what is good about these current solutions, and what is lacking in those solutions that need to be present in your offer so that it will be perceived as a better offer for their problems.

To find out the answers to these questions, you have to conduct some research on that niche market.There are several ways to go about doing this.

One way is to ask people already in that industry or market what problems they are looking to solve and what features and benefits the current solutions already out on the market are lacking.This way, you can tailor your offer to include those features and benefits that the current solutions don't have.

You should also determine what the market does like in those current solutions so you can make sure your offer also has those beneficial features and benefits.

You can also go to established websites in that market to see for ourselves what type of offers they are offering.You can check out what types of products they offer (ebook, MP3, audio, video, etc.,) what bonuses they include with them, what prices they are selling them for, how their websites look, and any testimonials they post related to their products and service as a way to gain helpful insight on who your competitors are and how you can differentiate your offer from theirs.

A really easy way of determining what will satisfy the niche market is to hang out in forums dedicated to your niche market.In today's world, there is at least one online forum for virtually every niche market out there.

See what they are talking about at those forums, including what problems they are having, what offers they are using to solve their current problems, how well those solutions are solving their current problems, and what features and benefits they are still looking for in future offers.This way, you can determine from prospective customers what problems they are still facing and what features and benefits they'd like to see in future product offers.

Utilizing this information from these different sources, you can develop or find a product offer with the features and benefits the market is looking for.However, to make sure that this offer will satisfy the market's demands, you should again TEST the market to see if it will respond to your offer like you think it will.The following methods can help you test the market after you have developed or obtained your product offer.

You can provide complimentary copies (if you are legally able to do so,) to people in that niche market in return for their honest feedback on your offer.This way, you can find out what they like about it and what they feel needs to be improved in order to satisfy the needs of the market.

Another way to determine whether your offer will satisfy the niche market is to set up a simple webpage with a subscription form that asks a few questions about your offer.In return, you provide them with a valuable reward, such as a short report, another of your products, or a coupon code that gives them a discount on your offer.

You should use a pay-per-click search engine in order to drive targeted traffic to that page, as targeted traffic is needed in order to provide the best feedback about that niche market and the best feedback on whether your current offer will satisfy the desires of that market.

Even after you have found a potentially profitable niche market, you still will likely need to test and tweak your offer in order to be able to satisfy the demands of the niche market you are serving.

It's important to remember that just because you've found a potentially profitable niche, you still have to have a strong demand for your offer in order to profit from it, and in order to find out what the niche market is looking for, that will take some research.

Even after developing or obtaining an offer that will seemingly meet their needs, you need to continue your research to make sure the offer is as good as can be.If it isn't, you need to tweak and improve the offer as much as you can based on the feedback you receive in order to profit the most from that niche market and to be considered as the person who can best satisfy their desires in the future.

Make Money Online - Getting JV Partners

Before I begin I first want to provide you a quick definition of JV.JV means joint venture partner.So if you have been hearing that word being thrown around like a hot potato you can consider yourself informed!

When you have a product to sell online, there are many different tactics you can use to help get customers.One great way is through Joint Venturing.A Joint Venture (or again, simply a JV) is when you partner with a person to help sell your product(s).While it is a great idea, it can sometimes be hard to find JVs.So here are some great ideas on how to find them.

The way you go about trying to find JVs actually depends on how competitive your niche is.If you are in a niche that is saturated (such as the Internet Marketing niche) then you will have to go about things a little differently.However, if you are in another niche that is much less competitive then finding JVs should not be too difficult.

For the less competitive niches, all you really have to do is ask people if they would like to JV with you.However, you have to ask the right way.The correct approach to asking a JV can be the difference between a 10,000 dollar launch or a 10.00 launch.

So you can do a Google search on your niche.Then write down the sites that come-up.Next try to find out a name for each site so that you can address each email personally.Then email the person who runs the site.

Introduce yourself and then tell them something you like about their site.Explain why you found it interesting and that you are interested in learning more.Here is the MOST critical point in seeking a JV.Ask them if there is something you can do to help the person out.Whether it is with graphics, writing, whatever you can do provide it shows good faith.Finally, if you have done the other things properly you will be able to tell them a little bit about your product and ask them if they would like to hear more about a Joint Venture with you.

That is how to get JVs in niches that are not too competitive.However, you need to take a slightly different approach on highly competitive niches.

In highly competitive niches you need to make yourself stand out from everyone else.There are hundreds of people who are looking for JVs in some of the most popular niches.So to stand out you want to approach potential JV partners and ask if you can do something for them.Whatever you might be good at, offer to help them with something that you are good at (creating a script, writing a blog, etc.).

Then once you do something for them, they will feel like they should so something in return.This is called the theory of reciprocity.What they may decide is something in return just might be a JV with you.Or, you might just develop a long-term relationship with a few people that will pay dividends for you far into the future (beyond just one Joint Venture).

Gathering JVs can be a difficult process.It really depends on whether the niche is popular or not.For non-competitive niches all you really have to do is ask for people but for competitive niches you have to make sure you stand out to people who you want to JV with you.These partnerships are a critical component of being successful with your online business.
