Business Plan For Any Webmaster!

There are so many social networks out there today, it seems to be a “job” just to stop by and check your inbox and friend invites.  I know the feeling, I am part of many social networks myself.  The problem for many webmasters and internet marketers is that this is still a very effective method of getting the word our about news and your business.  This can make for a very hectic and unfocused work environment.  Trust me, you don’t want to get caught in a loop of updating your statuses at all these social sites, when you could be spending your time writing solid content for your site, building relevant back links and hopefully dealing with all the sales coming in. The internet is by itself a very distracting place and there is no reason to allow it to make you loose your focus.  Keep reading and learn how to spend less time on social sites and more time working with your business, where your focus should be.

The power of your social marketing campaign will come down to 2 simple factors:

1. Quality Of Information
2. Expansion Of Syndication (across many networks)

If you are getting any results from working with one social network there are many more places you can get the same results, it just comes down to a matter of time.  If you are not taking the time to add value to your presence on social networks, you will not be getting the results you are looking for either.  That is what makes these the 2 golden rules of social marketing to me.

If you are sending out a bunch of junk and you are only sending it to 5 or 6 people, my guess is that you are not selling much and probably not driving a lot of traffic to your websites either. This is fine if you are only using social sites for fun and to keep in touch with your family and friends.  However, if you are trying to use the power of social sites to get your information out to the world, you may need some extra syndication power to give you more bang for your buck as far as time spent on your social marketing efforts.

I have a couple of suggestions to get your social marketing campaign rocking really fast.  I have listed the top resources below.

Professional Social Marketing Tools

There are a few paid tools out there to help you get your information out to all your social sites and to twitter effectively and the biggest one on the market today by far is, Socialoomh.com pronounced “Social Oomf” and it does a great job, allowing users to que up tweets and messages to be sent out in the future to many social networks.  This allows you to manage and maintain many accounts on many social networks with ease.  The fees here are well worth it.  This site has a great back end to make sure you can keep your messages personal and get your messages out when you want them to appear from a company you can trust.

Free Social Marketing Tools

There may be a few different free tools on the market, but I can tell you that you will not find one that is easier to use, more powerful and more flexible than Ping.FM This service is seriously a killer when it comes to distribution of your information across multiple social networks with one click.  I have used this service for some time and I have nothing but good things to say about their marketing power.  Oh and did I say, this is FREE!

I know the title was a little misleading to this one, but to be honest I am not going to waste your time or mine to list other free services that just don’t compare to the power of the Ping.FM service.  So if you want to take your social marketing power and syndication to the next level, get over there now and don’t forget to post a thank you down below.

Content Is King!

Yes, I Know You Have Heard It Before But…

It really is true, content rules the internet and it rules search engines, thus it must rule web site traffic. I know that sounds like a silly logic puzzle, but when it comes down to it, no matter what you are doing on the internet to drive traffic to your page, if your content is crap, it makes no difference anyhow.

Start with your website, start with what the experts call on page seo. This does not mean cramming the same keyword phrase into an article a thousand times, (if you think this is seo, stick your hand out so I can slap it). This means create an article that would make you excited to share it with somebody else if you found it. NEVER write your content for the search engines, ALWAYS write your content for the reader in mind.

If you write with the reader in mind, not only does it come off as such when it is read by others, but you are more likely to get some free PR (Press Release, not Page Rank) from your readers. If you can continue to crank out award winning content, seo (search engine optimization) will take care of itself, I Promise You!

If you have great information to share and you make it easy for people to add your content to popular social bookmarking sites, you won’t have to be “one of those guys” who goes and diggs his own content every day or stumbles every article he writes. And after all who wants to be One Of Those Guys anyways?

Article Marketing Works!

Article Marketing Has Been One Of The Most Powerful Traffic Generation Methods Since It’s Inception And Still Is.

There is no question about it, article marketing is among the strongest forces on the internet when it comes to driving long lasting streams of traffic to your web site. The basis of article marketing again is “Content Driven” however it is totally acceptable to submit the same article to a few or even hundreds of article directories.

This makes article marketing a lot less labor intensive and can put your content on some sites that already have some Google Page Rank so your content may receive attention from the search engines faster than on your own site.

Article Marketing In a Nutshell

Here is the breakdown and concept that drives article marketing and article directory sites.

US

-You as an article marketer create an article on the same or similar topic as the site you are wanting to drive traffic to.
-You post your article on many free article directories hopefully with page rank.
-You put a link to your site, using a keyword phrase that you would like folks to find you on Google from. The reverse thinking here is that google will see your keywords in your links on many sites and then rank your site higher in search results because of this, this is a strategy known to seo guys as “Link Building.”

Them

-The article directories get free content on their site, they get email addresses to market to, YOU.
-Website owners get to re-publish your article on their sites, but get this, they have to leave your link in the article to get rights to republish.
-Both article directory and web site re-publishers hope for some juicy adsense ads to show up next to your article to make money.

Now, this is not the fastest process, let me tell you. However you will NOT run across a longer lasting and self sustaining link building system. The links that are in your articles getting automatically spread all across the internet will give you a small trickle of direct traffic from click throughs on your links and if you mix up your keywords on your links and you write many good quality articles, this can dramatically raise your search engine standings and through time, this one method can get you on the almighty #1 spot of google!
