Branding. It is probably one of the most effective, yet least understood, techniques for building your presence on the internet.
By branding yourself as an expert on your topic, you can easily increase your traffic to your site, as well as sales. By drawing potential
customers to you, you'll decrease your marketing time while still increasing your sales.
Traffic you receive by branding yourself is targeted traffic. The traffic is targeted because visitors are looking for what you have to offer.
Your first step in branding yourself should be to choose the right keywords. By choosing the right keywords, you can optimize your site for
the search engines so others find you. This will also help you organize your information better to create products and services that reflect
your area of expertise.
Once you have optimized your website for the search engines, you need to submit it to the major search engines. With Google, you'll want to
create a site map. A sitemap can help you get your site spidered quickly, usually within 24 hours.
Submit your site to the major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN, then move on. Next, you need to work on branding yourself.
Here are four other ways you can build your brand and establish yourself as an expert:
1. Write articles
This is the most important step. You're getting your name out there. Before sending out articles though, make sure you understand how to
write good articles. Otherwise, your articles won't get accepted, much less read.
2. Write books and Ebooks
Sites like Lulu, http://www.lulu.com, make it easier than ever for you to get your manuscripts published quickly. Many big name writers
have used self publishing to get their names out there. You can too.
Lulu will make it easy for you to offer your manuscript in both digital and print format.
3. Build links back to your site
Find both general and specific directories to submit your site to. Add your link, or exchange links of linking is offered.
Don't waste your time on sites that don't have a links page. They probably don't use linking to build traffic, and you'll be ignored.
4. Participate in forums
Find two to three good forums on your topic and participate. Ask questions, answer them, and always include a link to your website.
Be careful here though; you don't want to spend too much time marketing on forums. If you do, it will take time away from product creation,
as well as your other marketing techniques.
The first step in building your business should be in building your brand. By building your business and building your brand, you'll get more
traffic and more targeted traffic. This will increase your conversion.

Product Review: Totally Tweetable Marketing System
TotallyTweetable.com is one of those WOW sites that looks like it has been the brainchild of some very serious marketing minds. It is combining the powerful concepts of member based email marketing and combines it with some powerful viral techniques, including Social Media and blogging. Wow!!
I joined and took the upgrades - I figured, they offer a money back guarantee so why not..? You are not in any way required to take the upgrades to get the benefits of the site. However, they do multiply the benefits out by a few hundred times I have found, plus the fee is pretty small for the extra exposure you get... so I grabbed it.
What a concept - I must say.
The world of marketing online has been dying slowly for a while now as people are fed up with 'opting in' and getting mail boxes filled with nothing of any meaning. Spam is the killer.
So this system takes the traditional email marketing and modernizes it and then blows the roof of your exposure by adding in a pretty neat VIRAL twist.
http://totallytweetable.com/?vip=4543
This benefits WHATEVER you promote.
No matter if it is a Clickbank product, a matrix, an MLM or ANYTHING. Even Google ad words and 'traditional' style of marketing can reap huge benefits from this site.
You get to tap into the power of hundreds of active twitter accounts, and blog readers and send your message across the entire network.
http://totallytweetable.com/?vip=4543
There has never been another site that does this that I have ever seen. It is being hailed as 'Social Evolution' where by you can almost 'share' the social media connections of others. In fact... I think it ius going to be HUGE.
My vote is that this site is going to put a lot of dough in my pocket over the years to come.
The power of being able to reach out to people is not to be overlooked... The system makes that reaching easy. I, for one, have ALWAYS wanted to have otehr people send out tweets for me... And do you know what - this system has a guaranteed 200 people who will be tweeting for you, every time you send out!! But... THE TOP LEVEL IS WHERE TO BE FOR SERIOUS MARKETERS - A GUARANTEED 3000 PEOPLE TO TWWET FOR YOU COMES WITH THE PACKAGE... Whoa!
Overall I have to say I am impressed with TotallyTweetable.com. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to explode their list and benefit from some excellent advertising.
See it and join here: (I negotiated to give anyone that joins through my link, instant EXECUTIVE membership, but this is not forever, so make haste)

Ultimate Safelist Survival: What is a safelist anyway?
Ultimate Safe list Survival: What is a safe list anyway?
What is a Safe list
Basically a safe list is a gathering of like minded individuals who have
agreed to exchanges ads. You agree to receive ads from all the others
members in exchange for the opportunity to send your own. This concept
has many advantages, here's a couple of them.
The advantages of safe list marketing
For one it's spam free as people have to double opt-in to the safe list and
thereby agreeing to receive your ads, should some nutter decide that the
safe list mail is spam anyway it's not really your problem as the mail is not
sent from your email address or server. Actually this is the origin of the
name, a safe list is a closed community where it is safe for members to
exchange ads.
The second advantage is quite obvious but many people fail to see this,
what does all safelist members have in common? They have something to
sell, but they have not advanced far enough in their internet marketing
carreer to dismiss a very mundane task as posting to safelist is. That
means that if you have a product, report, ebook, income opportunity etc.
that can help people on the way to internet glory, the average safelist
user is an excellent prospect for you.
Why I will always use safelists
I could probably make do without safelists but I sure wont. Safelist are a
starting point for many newbie marketers and picking those up as
subscribers and customers can be very profitable e.g. they do not own
every product out there and they do not know everything, meaning that
you have plenty of stuff to sell them. You can see this as opposed to
getting *Mike Filsaime* on your list, when your initial giggling wears off
you will probably realize that Mike owns everything you promote and if he
doesn't he will probably create his own version anyway...
Mike Filsaime and safelists
Speaking of *Mike Filsaime* did you know he started his internet
marketing career using safelists? I have listened to several conference
calls where Mike explains how he built a list of *7000* members using
nothing but safelists and that list netted him $7000 a month. In fact Mike
and his "intern" Jason Dinner are still regular safelist user although I
believe they pay people to do the dirty work nowadays...
...imagine that, paying people to do your safelist posting, I'm pretty sure
Jason and Mike don't find safelists useless!

Twitter Marketing To Boost Your Business Growth
As the world’s second most popular social networking site, Twitter is a marketers’ dream.
However, some people still see Twitter as a teenager’s platform to share what they had for lunch and what they bought at the mall. The stigma around Twitter is that it’s all twaddle and nonsensical conversation, without any real-world bearing.
The majority of the Twitter users are far from that very small portion. From some of the top Fortune-500 companies and internationally ranked businesses, Twitter is a multifaceted media platform that provides marketers the ability to engage in real-time dialogue with customers, promote products and create buzz.
1. Have an Ear to the Chatter
The Internet is king. Whatever needs to be said, posted, shared or argued about is online. The world’s pulse is rhythmically beating to the tune of wi/fi. Twitter’s beauty is the fact that it’s an instantaneous connection to the collective conversation.
Twitter offers an incredible insight into what your customers, competitors and colleagues are thinking, saying and feeling about you, your products and your image.
2. Connect with customers
Twitter is the equivalent of sitting down with all of your customers at once over a cup of coffee. The intimacy and relationship building is what separates Twitter from any other social media available.
At its root, Twitter is a conversational tool.
Pose questions to your customers. Challenge the Twitterverse to improve your latest product. Listen to what they have to say about your customer service representatives. Provide a safe place for your customers to register complaints and genuine feedback.
3. Connect with businesses
Create new B2B connections through your Twitter page. The best way to begin these new relationships is to follow industry leaders and companies that you respect. Engage in thoughtful Twitter-banter, and as often as you can, ReTweet relevant Tweets.
Twitter broadens your scope: you’ll stumble upon industries that you may have never considered as a potential partner or inspiration for business practices.
4. Promote products
Though this list seems to be in no apparent order, but it rather is. These four reasons outline why marketers need to have a Twitter presence, but it’s also a blueprint for success and how you need to approach your account.
Promotion or creating a buzz should be the very last thing you tackle in the Twittersphere. After you’ve focused on listening and connecting, then promoting your products becomes a part of the conversation rather than a blatant or cheesy attempt to drive sales.
Twitter is an on-going conversation. Would you ever ask a new acquaintance to borrow their car on the very first meeting?

How Blogs Directory Can Help Boost Traffic
Author: SharonStenning097
One of the trickiest things to get right when launching a blog for the first time is getting your blog noticed. There are a host of strategies which can be tried, many of which will prove successful if correctly managed. Regrettably however, many of these take a great deal of time, thought and extra work. Regrettably still, few people always have enough time to concentrate their efforts into such work straight off the bat. A great way to get your blog out there with minimum effort is through using the services of a blogs directory.
As the name suggests, these directories work much like any other; in so much that they give details of a host of blogs available. Split into different categories, it is easy for people to find suitable ones for what they are looking for, without too much hassle.
Using them is straight forward enough, simply requiring the user to enter a few details about the blogs they are interested in, and then returning appropriate results. From here, users can drill down to receive further details, and go visit the site if they are interested enough.
Many directories are more straight forward than this; simply listing different genres. Sub genres are often listed underneath these, which will display a list of all relevant blogs who have subscribed to that particular blogs directory.
As with anything, each directory does things in its own way. Many choose to rate a site, others will comment on how good, or bad they think it is. Some will also track a site's performance, and allow the blog master to interrogate these results. Others still will simply provide a list. What sets these apart is a combination of things.
At the base level, there are the basic directories where authors can simply submit their details to be listed. No further involvement is needed, simply the completion of a standard form which asks for the name, URL, possibly a description, and the genre. From here, the site will be listed with a link.
Further than this, there are those that will actively manage the submission. This will include a rating, most likely an explanation as to what readers can expect from each blog. Many will also give an actual score, whilst others will ask for feedback from visitors. They are likely to also regulate the blog for submission onto their directory; to ensure it is suitable according to their regulations.
There are many different directories available too. Naturally, there are many general ones, which have different categories which can be drilled into. Increasingly though, there are specialized directories such as Green Technology; Lifestyle; Sports and so on. There are also directories which list Adult content, though many general sites also do this, but the content needs to be claimed when submitting.
Blogs directory will most likely allow for free submission, as most will generate revenue through other advertising streams, affiliate schemes and so forth. However, there are usually also ways that a blog master can pay for greater exposure. Prices will vary of course.

Bringing your e-commerce to the next step
Conducting business online has gone far from its early beginnings in the 90s and went beyond the bubble burst of the dot com crash in 2002. The basic definition of e-commerce would be buying and selling through the internet. It is a business approach and like all business oriented approaches, development and improvement is inevitable. To bring your e-commerce to the next step would be the logical thing to do.
A good e-commerce strategy involves having the elements of the internet and components of marketing to work together. Some may argue that this e-commerce thing will blow out of proportion which could result to another wave of business crashes like what happened a more than five years ago.
Using the right business tools can help ensure that your online business will remain afloat. Integrating the right elements to your business strategy will reinforce your business agenda and help you reap the benefits of your business.
Now one of the tools in online business that is at your disposal is the e-commerce cart or otherwise and better known as the online shopping cart. This little business tool can transform your small business endeavor into a big online success.
An online shopping cart is a marketing tool where your customers place their shopping items and assist them in ordering the same online. It follows the concept of the real life shopping cart where you place whatever items you need and let a cashier compute the total for you. But instead of a cashier, the online shopping cart includes a component where the total of the order is computed for the customers.
There are a number of benefits of having a shopping cart integrated into your online business. The shopping cart offers a secure means for your customers to get the products they need and it offers you the same level of security to get the payment from them. It is a win-win situation which you should take full advantage of.
Without offering this level of security for online transactions, you will sure loose a lot of potential clients. By integrating a shopping cart, you will be able to expand your market base and eventually help increase your profits.
The same shopping cart technology will also help you organize your products list, will assist you in managing your business transactions and help you update your stocks and sales. The technology can even assist you in making projections which will be beneficial for you in future marketing decisions.
It can also make your life easier during tax season since sales and stock acquisitions can easily be acquired because store information is logged via the shopping cart. Indeed, acquiring a shopping cart software is a good investment and a logical move for your business.
To expand, diversify and improve your market base and services is what a good business approach should be. Whether it may be online or offline, bringing your business to a new level will bring in more benefits.
There are a number of companies that offer various kinds of e-commerce shopping carts and each can be customized to fit your needs. Do remember that this is an investment and as such is often not free. But bringing your e-commerce to the next step by means of a shopping cart will hopefully help you find the success that you dream of online.
