Easy Money Making Email Marketing Tips

Ankush Kohli — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 10:20:02 +0000

This article is very useful for all new or existing small-medium businesses in search of customers and clients.

In case, if you are planning to launch a business online, then there is no harm to guess that you would like your business to earn you money. In any case, remaining is just a hobby. A good reason to do that is, there are lots of ways to earn money online. Not only that, there is also plenty of space to advertise your business. Out of these most admired methods is email promotion or email marketing. It is very low cost and most importantly, it’s successful.

Here are few tips before you put your first step:

1. Create a list is essential to be effective. If you have done any sort of research or read about email marketing, then you might have read this quote as well, “The money is in the list.” The rationale behind many people advocate it, because it’s true. Actually, it’s so vital that the whole thing that follows revolves around this tip.

2. Made a choice, market ceaselessly. Getting traffic on your website requires a lot of resources. It’s required, but email marketing simplifies things. Know it, how visitors come to your site, you persuade them to share their email address with you. After that it hardly matters if they never visit your site again. As an alternative, you would be able to market them each time as per your requirement.

3. Offer some value every time. Most commonly asked question about email marketing is how frequently to send promotional emails and how often to send info only emails. There is a always a warning that you should restrain from sending too many sales/promotional emails, but that’s not right at all. Given that you are present value with what you are selling, then nothing wrong in that.

4. Give a thought while creating persuasive email subject lines. The subject is what the people will see in their email inbox. If they don’t find it interesting or if it doesn’t entice them to see what’s inside, then they will send it to trash, even without opening it. So, that means no sales. On the other hand, if you can at least convince them to open your email, then you are likely to get a chance to showcase your offer to them.

5. Avoid being too eye-catching. Indeed, there are many subject lines that can give you a much higher email opening rate, but you should avoid them to trick people into opening the email. Or in case you do then they might open your email, but soon they will realize that you have tricked them. They will simply unsubscribe or mark as spam to your email. An easy way to put it is to each time ensure that the body of the promotional email message justify any promises you put together in the subject line.

So, these were the only few tips to assist you with your email marketing business. There is many of other stuff you can do, but having said that, these ones are a good start. With all of the things it has going for it, every minute you waste is another minute you will be letting off opportunity to make money.

Google+ Business Pages Features & Overview

Ankush Kohli — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:15:16 +0000

Google+ launched “Pages” for business and brands after originally announcing its Google+ social network in June that only allowed personal profiles.

Google+ even has also removed some of the brands that set up accounts using the personal profile. Some businesses were allowed to stay for testing purposes including the Ford Motor company.

Here are some of the major features of new Google+ “Pages”:

1. Allow Local Businesses to Create a Page – This enables customers to easily connect with the business’s physical location and include a map, address and phone numbers.

2. Google+ Pages includes Circles - The default circles include: Following, Customers, VIP’s and Team Members.

3. Conduct Hangouts – This duplicates the feature as seen in the personal profiles.

4. Share Photos, Videos and Links – This is the same as personal profiles and Facebook.

5. Google+ Allows Multiple “Pages” – Similar to Facebook even though you access your “page” through a personal account you can choose what profile business or personal you want to act as.

6. Total +1 Counts – As distinct from personal profiles an overall Google +1 count will show on a Google profile “page”. This will provide “social proof” of the popularity of a brands website which is a not a function for the personal profile G+ badge.

Google+ “Pages” – An Overlook

The Google+ pages are a very simple start that at first glance looks almost immature (we have become accustomed to what is now a very complex Facebook platform.)

What must be kept in mind is that any social network is a “work in progress” that will continue to develop and grow.

So some of the “missing” essential features that people have become accustomed to on Facebook may appear in time as Google+ pages “grow up:

1. Multiple Admin – This is not currently available but is coming apparently.

2. Custom Vanity URL’s – Just like Facebook when it launched its pages you were given a very big “number” not your name or brand. There is no information on when that might change.

3. Google+ Fans will not be able to Post Directly to a Wall – Currently you cannot post directly to a page but only offer comments on a post.

4. Google+ Pages do not Allow “Games” - I don’t know about you but I am not going to be shedding tears about this feature not being included.

5. You Don’t have to Verify you are a Company or Business – At this stage, you don’t have to validate your company credentials (I am sure this is an initial expediency measure to ensure fast take-up). Google+ will be providing verification badges in the future that will assist in ensuring brand “pages” credibility.

6. Pages Cannot Follow People – You can only follow people after they have first been followed as distinct from Twitter’s rules.

How to get Started with Google+ Pages:

Just like Facebook you do need a personal account to get started.

Step 1: Start at Your Personal Profile – Open up your Google+ personal profile dashboard and start the process. To setup a Google + Company Fan Page you will start by going to https://plus.google.com/pages/create

Step 2: Choosing Your Business Category - Start creating your page by selecting whether you are a local business, product or brand, company, institution or organization and the other options.

Step 3: Adding your Brand Name – This include adding your website URL (website link) as well as your business sub category and who you would like to be able to see your fan page. You can now limit what age group can see your fan page and limit if the content is not appropriate for certain age groups or users.

Step 4: Customizing the “Pages” Profile – This is where you write what your business is about, choose a Tagline for your business and upload the company and brand logo.

Step 5: Optimizing, Sharing and Connecting – You can embed a snippet of code in your website or blog that allows people to link and connect to your Google+ “page”. It also provides you with the URL for your business “page”.

After setting up your Google + Fan Page, you can share the new fan page with all your circles. Make sure after you setup your fan page that you post a couple things on there to not make your brand or local business look like they haven’t done anything. If you are on the cutting edge of technology, you should always be posting about the things that you’re doing on your site. Give yourself like, push it out to all your circles.

No,w you can manage your Google+ business page from Hootsuite. Here’s our eMarketinGuide Google+ FanPage. Don’t forget to follow us if you like it…

Are We Over with Facebook?

Ankush Kohli — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 12:05:25 +0000

As soon as a brand name turns out to be famous, we assume it’s there to stay. So for years now, we’ve been Googling to show we are well-informed, Tweeting to remain through what’s occurring around us, and Facebooking for exhibitionism and voyeurism.

Nevertheless, with Facebook bringing new policies, and Google trying to surmount yet another aspect of our lives with Google+, there seems to be a sense of discomfort among netizens. The question rises, ‘How much do these networks know about us, and how will they use that knowledge?‘ is at last becoming significant.

So why should we get worried now? It is a known fact that Google has been privy to the content of supposedly private emails ever since they began to display targeted advertisements on our sidebars.

The adverse effects of Facebook become a topic of debate every time a post has a drastic effect. Earlier, the site was held responsible for ramifications ranging from divorce to denial of medical benefits.

The Facebook debate intensified when it was discovered that Facebook was using cookies to keep track of sites a user visits even after s/he logs out of the network. A huge number of Facebook friends began to post on each other’s walls, cautioning that the network was going to start charging money for its use, except one spammed all of one’s friends with the notice. Others began to sending notes on the dangers of Timeline – such as, that people will be able to see you’ve ‘unfriended’ them. Just in case they didn’t get the hint, now they can rub their faces in it!

It was also assumed that the amount of information and connections one has on Facebook will keep one ‘locked in’ for decades made everyone disgusting at the idea.

Do we recall that Mark Zuckerberg and his buddies didn’t bang on our doors with guns and forced us to sign up. Neither did they make us update their friends with every bit of detail of their lives. Also, they haven’t deprived anybody from the freedom of deleting posts, or even deactivating their accounts.

There appears to be a long-lasting fear that Facebook will expose undisclosed stalkers by allowing stalkees discover the people who are checking out their profiles. Every once in a while, one finds a wall post linking to a page that will allow one to “see who’s viewing [one's] profile!”. Never mind the fact that a user can block people from finding him or her, and filter what people see even if they do find him or her.

Also, users appear annoyed by Facebook’s decision to prioritize updates from people they interact with the most. Why does Facebook get to decide whom we want to see updates from? Thus people would like to be updated on the lives of people they don’t remain in touch with?

As soon as Google made an effort to seize Facebook’s grip on social networking by launching its e Google+, Facebook reacted by replicating its one attractive feature – circles to determine the visibility of each post.

A great deal has been made of Twitter‘s role in coordinating relief efforts after bomb blasts and natural disasters. Many of us are grateful to Orkut, and later Facebook, for enabling us to get in touch with long-lost school friends. Blogs and websites have done for intelligent people what shopping malls and reality shows did for beautiful ones – authors and journalists have got unprecedented publicity through their web forums, and cartoonists, humorists, and even artists have been discovered.

Importance of Keywords Placement in Affiliate Marketing

Ankush Kohli — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:17:37 +0000

Optimization is the whole thing in affiliate marketing. A majority of the time you begin with a losing campaign and simply make it profitable through optimization. But if you’re a fresher/un-expert, you would be unsure, how to correctly optimize for a campaign.

For newbie’s, we constantly advocate starting with self serve platforms on “cost per click” basis. For Facebook it’s everything obvious. You optimize banners while testing targeting age, keywords. But many affiliate platforms including provide you opportunity to work on keywords or placements as well as ads. Therefore you have to work on these 2 metrics.

So the question might arise in your mind that what’s more vital among keywords/placements or ads while optimizing a campaign, we suggest 90% of the time will be the keyword or placement, because each ad performs in a different way depending on the keywords.

From campaigns we run, the biggest ROI discrepancy is among keywords or sites. Several keywords just don’t work at all regardless of what ad you throw at it. But with ads, if you have an excellent placement, even the most horrible ad will obtain a few conversions. Thus, seeing that a rule of thumb, concentrate on keywords/sites first. Engrave the trash straight away there. Even if you have no profitable ad yet, maintain the lowest cost per acquisition creative. Following getting clear of various terrible trailing placements, you’ll discover that you’re breaking even or even profiting from previously “red” ads.

When you start running your theoretically profitable combination you may realize it’s still losing you money. However, this is your best bet and that’s exactly what you should do when you are optimizing the campaigns. But keep in mind that you’re also leaving some profitable keywords on the table.

These are understandable things, since everyone had a lot of questions similar to these at the beginning as no one had a clue what to carry out.

Viral Marketing Ideas – Simple Techniques & Tips

Ankush Kohli — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 10:22:52 +0000

Do you know, with only a small initial investment you could even receive a lot of traffic on your webpage i.e. what exactly is Viral Marketing. The theory is that if the viral promotion is appealing enough, people will forward it, which in result will bring new visitors for free.

Here are some tips and suggestions if you are thinking about trying to use viral:

Use of Forums

Forums are excellent way of revealing the first few people to your campaign, but forum moderators can tear down your viral campaign simply. It’s vital to remain on the good side of the moderators in case you want to use forums to commence the campaign.

Post your campaign in related forums only and even then only in relevant categories. Preferably, don’t use affiliate marketing links in your posts. Viral campaigns are best used to generate traffic to one place, not for already making money on the way over there.

Keep yourself away of the discussion that arises after you launch the campaign. The disadvantage of the free traffic a viral campaign can fetch is that you don’t control how your campaign will be dealt with on the net. You have to acknowledge that the online community can very well do as it pleases with your campaign. Trying to indulge thereafter more often than not reflects negative upon the campaign.

Offer a FREE Service/Product

One great way to spread awareness about your product is “Give Free“. Offer a free product or service to capture the users’ attraction. There are more chances that people will buy your product if they are satisfy with the free offer or product/service quality.

Be Unique From Others

Being unique or standing out from the crowd is the name of the game. However the most familiar gaffe is to make something that is too far-fetched. The straightforward an idea is, the better it most likely will work. But obviously, too simple won’t work either. Shun suggesting cheap emotion.

Stay away from using customary ways of advertising. You can employ existing platforms such as Youtube for sure, but if you can uncover a way of using a platform in a new and creative way, go for it. Make an effort to find ways to mash-up platforms even.

Make it Shareable

The basis of a viral campaign is that online community can share it. If possible, your whole campaign could be reduced to one URL, one e-mail, one video or even a single image. People these days prefer social networks much more rather than forwarding e-mails to others. Make certain that your campaign is easily shareable on the most widespread social networks.

Be Your Own Parody

If you able to run and launch a successful campaign, try taking advantage of that success by creating your own spin-offs before someone else does. Gaffes, deleted scenes, parodies, any unpublished bit of content you have on a successful campaign, can turn out to be another successful campaign on its own.

For starters, what exactly is affiliate marketing? For anyone wanting to make money online, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest ways to get started. Affiliate marketing is the act of getting sale from online shoppers on various products and gaining a commission & percentage of the sale in return as a earning. As an affiliate marketer, you are given links to their product site which you will put on your site, when customer will purchase through link, the seller knows when a customer you referred buys their product.

For starters, what exactly are the benefits of affiliate marketing? There are dozens. Many sellers (known as Merchant) offer great incentives to affiliate marketers, with some offering as much as 50% commissions on products you refer customers to. This means you can make money on the side (or even replace your entire income if you become successful at it). This is one of the legitimate ways to bring in a passive income, as people from all around the world are buying products online at every minute of the day.

A Guide to Successful Email Marketing Campaigns

Ankush Kohli — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 07:26:40 +0000

A common question I hear is ‘will my emails go into junk boxes?’

Well, if you fill them with junk then I’d hope so! Junk filters exist to make our lives easier, protect our computers and weed out malevolent or inappropriate content. However, sometimes perfectly innocent and relevant emails get caught up by the algorithms that decide what’s groovy and what’s not and it can be for all manner of unexpected reasons.

Here’s an example: Say you’ve created an email campaign about a brand new product, a product that’s taken years of development and significant investment to get to this stage. When you’re broadcasting the good news to your clients you NEED to be sure that they receive it without complication, so you do your best to keep the email tidy, succinct and clean. But it hits your junk box.

Ensuring Quality Bulk Email Marketing:

At this stage, there are a number of obvious things you can check for first including:

Profanity (even innocent words that can potentially be taken the wrong way)
Excessive use of exclamation points or other punctuation
Lots of different sizes and colours in your copy
Oversized or excessive numbers of images
Hyperlinks to suspicious sites
Suspect/’salesy’ subject lines

A single, strong instance of any one of the above could be the sole cause of your problem, and should be relatively easy to spot. Unfortunately, in the real world it’s the combined effect of minor SpamBugs here and there (which on their own wouldn’t cause any problems) that causes junking and which therefore makes the testing process ESSENTIAL.

A number of 3^rd party programs/services are available that can ‘rate’ your email for you, giving you an idea of how spammy it’s going to look to various different inboxes. These are fine, but should only be used as a starting point in my experience. We have a mantra here – “TEST, TEST and TEST again” – because there is no substitute. Best practice dictates that you take extra steps to ensure that you’ve done a good job, the right way. I advise you to spend a few minutes visiting major web based email services like Gmail and Hotmail and opening free ‘emailtest@’ accounts; you will find it makes a world of difference to your campaign creation process, and ultimately the results you might achieve.

Create the email
Send a test to multiple inboxes
Amend and repeat if necessary

The Email Marketing Software Clash

Ankush Kohli — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:38:09 +0000

It would seem rather delirious to picture the average 20^th century mailman bolting past white picket fences and over excitable domestic animals in order to oust rival mailmen by making that perfectly timed delivery. Strange as it may seem, the digital scenario we are facing today is not as different to this than some might think. Information delivery is profitable in the new world e-commerce order, and wherever there is more than one data punter, there is a war of the inbox. So with that said, who’s really the best email marketing software provider? How do you compare them?

Those are difficult questions, especially with all the email marketing software packages available out there, all promising excellent designs and powerful bulk email features that can get best results and beat your competitors, etc. etc. It’s tough to settle on any particular one. Emailing marketing software has become an essential component of modern bulk marketing strategies and direct marketers and list managers need reliable and fast bulk email marketing software solutions. But how are they really to know the dissimilarities from one package to another?

On average, the intent behind any bulk email software usually has something to do with sending newsletters or promotional materials to lists of opt-in subscribers. These same systems typically include databases that store contact information, analytics and statistics, message histories and have some or other interface that provides all the necessary sending features to run a good email campaign. These email software packages range in price from free of charge to exuberant, so make sure you know where all the money is going before you open your wallet.

Email marketing may remain one of the best marketing options for positive returns on investment, but not all businesses are able to properly manage their growing list of online clients and keep their promotional house in order without professional email marketing software. These services simplify the marketing process for overwhelmed businesses, helping them to more effectively sell and their products or spread their message. But the catch is that most often these software pages are mostly or entirely self-service. Unless these businesses have contracted themselves to third party campaign management through an agency or reseller, they are left to their own devices regarding how to implement these email communications super-weapons.

Left with an often dizzying initial product learning curve, users then usually proceed to become embattled with their service provider, sometime after which divorcing them and opting for a young, sexier ESP until a happy-ever-after is attained.

Email has become a leading form of communication and a critical practice is to find the email marketing software that works for you personally. Everyone around the world checks their emails on a daily to hourly basis, waiting for news and notices. So while there is no reason to keep yourself out of this marketing maelstrom, it might take some trial and error before you locate the ESP you’d want to name your grandchildren after. The true conflict is within your own campaign operations and what you need from them, and no bulk email software package has really got more fire power than the other when you keep in mind that novice users are and remain oblivious of advanced features for longer than it takes from them to decide if a product is for them. And also, that the borders between personal choice and technological agnosticism are two tracks on the same railroad.

How To Write A Good Blog

Ankush Kohli — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 12:39:08 +0000

If you are thinking about starting to blog, I’m sure you are wondering how to write a good blog. You don’t want to throw online just any old thing. Make a blog that you can be proud of. If your friends and family come to it, make sure they would impressed!

So, how do you write a good blog? Let’s talk about some of the key points.

Consistency

It is very important to post to your blog regularly and consistently. In other words, don’t post five times one week and then skip a few weeks before posting again. Your readers will not know when (or if) you’re going to post again, so they will probably just give up on it and go elsewhere. Don’t let that happen.

Try to post at least once a week, a few times is better. Put a form on your blog to allow people to sign up for email updates, so that they know when you write a new post.

Include Some of “You”

People find blogs interesting that show a little of who you are as a person. Yes, your blog may be all about business, but people want to get to know the person behind the business. Without getting too personal, share some details of your life (with discretion) with your readers. It will help build trust as they get to know you and find out they relate to you in some way.

Use Pictures

Pictures add so much to a blog! Try to include one image in every post you write. You can either take the pictures yourself or get them online. There are some free sites that will allow you to use their images with just a link back to the artist. Others charge a small fee to buy and use the image.

Make sure the images are relevant to the post. Don’t post pictures of your dog or kids when you are writing about internet marketing:-)

Where To Get All That Content

If a good blog means posting regularly, how do you come up with consistent quality content? You have some options.

Invite guest bloggers to write posts for your blog
Hire someone to write the blog for you (not really recommended as they will not have your voice so your readers won’t get to know YOU.)
PLR Content – buy some PLR and use it on your blog. You can edit PLR and add to it your own stories and examples. But it gives you a great starting point. Online, you can find great internet marketing PLR, as well as health, pet, and various other niche PLR.

If you follow these simple suggestions, you will be able to write a good blog!

Are you ready to get started blogging, or get your current blog going stronger? Grab some quality internet marketing PLR and keep your content fresh and updated.
