Establishes You as an Expert

Starting and maintaining an engaging and informative podcast allows you to become known as an expert in your field. If you are marketing and creating a product on time management for example, you can create a podcast that gives tips and tricks for time management and use it as a promotional tool to get your viewers or listeners to sign up on your mailing list or to purchase your product.

Becoming an expert in your field can be pretty tough, especially if you are in the medical field without an M.D….  But using your podcast as leverage to motivate people to follow you in other places, such as Twitter and Facebook, grows your following and reach on each individual.

I think the first priority for everyone starting an online business venture is to focus on building an email list.

The reasons for building a list are many…  but the main reason is to build a list of loyal customers.

There are a number of different services that you can use for mass mailing and managing mailing lists. Two of the most popular are Aweber and MailChimp. Personally, I use Aweber.

Having a mailing list is great, but making the most out of it is even more important.

Usability is one of the most important things for your website or blog. Many people only focus on the backbone of the website or how SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly it is, but after the major components of the back end of the site are done and the SEO plan is worked out, it is important to have a user friendly site that people want to come back to.

I don’t know how many times I have been to company websites or product pages and wanted to find the back button as fast as I could in order to get away from it. Some website designs are just plain awful. If the website design isn’t good, the reader will often lose their place, get lost in the clutter, or have a hard time knowing where to go next. Read More→

writing blog contentWriting good content for your website, blog, or sales page is one of the most essential parts of the equation when it comes to promotion of your website. If your content is junk, your website is going to be considered junk. On the other hand, if your website is ugly (but still readable) and your content is great, your website will be considered a diamond in the rough.

Good writing is hard to come by, if you go onto webmaster forums or internet marketing forums there are many people claiming to be good writers. In reality, a lot of writers you write online are not worth your money. Finding a quality writer for your sales page and blog will convert you so many more sales and repeat visitors than a bunch of garbage on your site. Read More→
