how to build a website shop

Posts Tagged ‘traffic’

I am excited about my new logo.  It reflects striving to become the master one of both WordPress and Mobile marketing.  These two areas are exciting and growing.  They can help your business update, improve and ultimately reach more customers while giving you greater control over your resources.   I really enjoy working on these tools for our clients.

I am constantly studying new ways to revise and improve web sites using WordPress.  Every day I spend some time researching new WP plugins, logos and designs.   I also spend time studying the latest marketing.  Mobile marketing is really in the infant stages as far as cost and reach but will grow exponentially in near future.  Internet marketers are starting to see the benefits so they will start integrating their customers into the market.

Businesses will need to integrate and learn website and mobile phone skills to stay competitive on the internet.   Users will keep moving to the web and cell phones to learn, search and buy products and services.   Businesses will  use savvy marketers to reach their customers where they are at, which is on the web or on their cell phone.

My intent is to help business and individuals use tools like websites and and cell phones to reach their customers.   My hands on experience has shown WordPress is the easiest way to implement the sophisticated tools web site owners want.   It allows you to integrate SEO, social marketing and incredible backend tools to control your site.   The second huge tool to reach customers is cell phones.   You can probably count on one hand the number of people who don’t have a cell phone now.   There are twice the number of cell phone users as there are internet users.  Any real marketer can not ignore this means of reaching more customers.

Many biz owners and individuals don’t have time to keep up with all this and that’s where me and some really cool friends can help.   We live this stuff and want to help others get on the right track as soon as possible.   My team is growing fast with some really sharp people.   We believe we have solutions to revamp your old web site or add a mobile campaign to your marketing mix.    My ideas are free so call or email and I’ll give my best to your solution.

Thanks for coming back. If you have read everything, let me know how I can help you.

How would you like to ensure you get a financial boost that will absolutely help you grow your income, build a giant email list and boost your marketing skills in 2010 and beyond to sustain you with multiple streams of RESIDUAL INCOME!

So the big question becomes – How do you get that BOOST that you’ve so desperately been searching for?

Well, here’s the Solution:

There are the usual ways of getting a Business BOOST: Google Buzz, Twitter, forums, Skype, etc. but all of those fail in comparison to talking to potential JV partners face to face and really getting to know them (having a beer while you talk is optional). Yes, we will cover these other Business BOOSTers while we’re here, but you’ve got to be where the action is.

The connection and trust that can be formed so quickly in person would take you months, if not years, to achieve in any online medium… Not to mention that online, most big names are busy people and have “gate keepers” to handle most of their email and phone calls. It’s practically impossible to send someone a friendly ‘hello’ anymore. Usually, they go unanswered.

But there is a way around this dilemma. It gets you past the gate keepers and gets yourself noticed and that how big deals and friendships are started.

(You do want to show them you’re the genuine article and someone worth doing business with, right?)

So what’s the secret? What do other successful people do?

Conferences!

Call them conferences, call them seminars, call them whatever you want… But they are, hands down, the best way to connect with anyone in this game and make them friendly to your cause.

You’ll have big name players, that you have been dying to meet, sitting right next you with no one to “forget” to mention you called.

It can be the chance of a lifetime and is the real “secret” behind internet marketing deal making.

To get yourself started, I recommend a conference that is right around the corner. It’s called the Boost Seminar and this year it’s running March 19th – 21st, 2010.

It’s the premier event in the USA and is going to be jam packed with incredible speakers, VIPs and potential JV partners for you to make lucrative connections with.

• 52% of all web traffic is video (according to industry watchdog, eMarketer)
• More than 70% of all web visitors watch online video (according to NY Times)
• The average YouTube visitor spends 27 minutes watching video per day
• The search engines visit video sites every few minutes—so your videos appear in Google, Yahoo and MSN just MINUTES after you submit, not days or weeks
• Because video is so popular, video links and clips often show up before other content

Just a quick note to emphasis that video will help your site faster than any other tool.   Learn to shoot short 2 minute segments to inform people about what you are doing.

Hi all!

I’ve been repairing fire damage and remodeling plus trying to build some sites for others. One of the most important things is verifying your WP site with the three major search engines. If they don’t know you are on the web, they’re not going to find you. After some research and head banging, I discovered the best plugin for this.

Word Press has a information link here. but it doesn’t seem to work all the time. Where in the tools page? What? What is line #6 all about?

Anyway, on to the awesome link. This is for WP installed on your own host like mine. These guys have a great tool for your content/plugins folder. This will have to be uploaded to your server folder. After that you simply activate and then access in “Plugins” drop down in your admin panel.

You must have a webmaster tools account and META code with google, yahoo and bing. Don’t worry they are free. You only use the later code in quotations and not the whole meta tag since that part is already written. That’s my banging part.  Enjoy and get yourself indexed.

Internet marketing here means generating traffic for your website, whether I have set it up or someone else.   I am working with some of my clients to personally brand their web 2.0 sites to send traffic to their main site.  After you get your site up and running, obviously you need traffic to it.  Personal branding in a nutshell is helping people to get to know who you are, what you have, explaining why people need it and helping them to get it.

My goals for this are:

1)  Do market research for their niche.

2)  Use research for adwords for your social sites.

3)  Develop their Twitter, You-Tube and Facebook accounts to generate traffic for their main site or business.

This becomes highly targeted traffic interested in you and what products you have to offer.   If you would like more information on this please get on my mailing list.
