Main Street Marketing Machines

Greg Writer — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 18:18:35 +0000

As you may or may not know I am very passionate about "small business" as I think they are what make everything great about the United States of America and they are probably the most sustainable business model in the world.

So for those of you LOOKING for opportunity to work with small business as a career let me share some thoughts.

Think about it:

Small businesses aren't going anywhere.

They're not a fad, and we can't survive without them.

They are constantly looking for ways to improve themselves and make more money... and unlike most markets out there, they actually SET ASIDE money to spend with you.

I feel so strongly about this that I am personally moving into the direction of helping small businesses.

I've always said that there are THREE main important aspects a market must have in order to serve their needs:

1. They must be insanely passionate (which ANY business owner is about THEIR business).

2. They must be large in numbers (there are over 600,000 NEW small businesses each year).

3. They must be easily reached (chances are you probably KNOW half a dozen small business owners in your area RIGHT NOW)

Look, serving this market is easy... and Mike Koenigs just released a video showing you how every day people are doing it with a simple system.

Check it out, it's a great video:

8 Free Sites To Use To Explode Your Web Site Traffic

Greg Writer — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 00:43:22 +0000

In this video I tell you about 8 free sites that'll help you explode your traffic...

Plus help YOU get a better search engine ranking...

AND build a name for yourself as an expert in your field...

AND bottom line....get new customers for your business!

The sites we're talking about are the 'Net's most popular social media sites. They're online gathering places where people meet to share information and build relationships with each other. They're also great places to meet potential customers and business partners.

... Plus, you can also build up a huge network of loyal customers who will do a lot of your advertising for you simply by raving about your product to all their friends and family. (And as you probably know, word-of-mouth advertising from a trusted source is the most effective kind of advertising you can get.)

And if some of these loyal customers start linking to your site from their sites, that can help you get a serious boost in the search engine rankings.

Here are the top 8 social media sites you need to know about:

Facebook: The world's biggest social networking site. Members go to find other people who share the same interests or activities. You can build your own online profile and share different types of information with each other, such as pictures, videos, blog entries, links to other sites, and music clips.

A good marketing strategy is to create a Facebook "Fan Page" for your business and encourage your customers to join. Then you can easily alert them whenever you have updates to share about your business.

Twitter: A "micro-blogging" social network site. Members send each other short text-based posts of up to 140 characters. When you find members whose "tweets" you like, you can subscribe to their feed and be updated whenever they send a new message.

YouTube: The 'Net's number one video-sharing site. Members share and comment on each other's videos. You can post a link on your profile page can direct other people to your site. Also, the videos you share can help establish your reputation as an expert in your industry. For example, you could share a "how-to" video that shows your market how to solve a common problem.

If you're not the next Stephen Spielberg, don't worry -- your videos don't have to be super professional. In many cases, a video shot with a regular digital camera will work just fine.

LinkedIn: The most popular business-oriented social networking site on the Web. As of May 2009, it had more than 400,000 registered users. It's a great place to find potential business partners as well as people who may be interested in your products or services.

Digg: One of the 'Net's most popular news-sharing websites. Members post links to their favorite news articles and then comment and vote on the ones they like best. If you get a good rating on an article that includes a link to your site, you could see a huge rush of traffic overnight.

Stumbleupon: Wikipedia calls this social networking site a "personalized recommendation engine." Members can explore and rate Web pages, photos, and videos. When they hit the "Stumble!" button on the site's toolbar, the results displayed are ranked based on your previous ratings as well as the ratings of friends and of members with similar interests.

If Stumbleupon members give your site or blog a good ranking, your site will be showed in their results more often, which could lead to a surge of traffic to your site.

Yelp: A popular review site where members write reviews about local businesses. If you own a local business, this one's for you!

Delicious: A popular bookmarking site. Members save links to their favorite websites or articles -- just like the bookmarks in your browser -- and share those links with other people. Members can comment on each other's links. Every comment you write links to your personal profile where you can include a link to your site. The more comments you make, the more people you encourage to visit your profile page -- and the more traffic you'll end up directing to your site.
By participating on sites like these you can meet your future customers and learn how to give them what they're looking for. In exchange, they will be happy to spread the word about your site all over the Internet!
