Marketing Your Business

For those of you who are in the advertising and marketing industry and those off you who have been marketing for a while, this is probably something you already know but I hope to help all the other small business owners who need as much marketing information as they can to make intelligent and constructive decisions about their marketing.

When you read a page, a banner or a web page, your eyes scan in a Z format from left to right, top to bottom.  All your reader will do that and you should place the information or offers you want with this in mind.  Your money spot is the top right area of the page.  This is where you want your attractive offer for your business.

I found this great information on the Internet about marketing your business with article marketing.  Here is the information I took from the article:

Article Marketing Secrets: 1. Article marketing is a long-term online marketing strategy.

If you want a significant ROI from article marketing as a traffic creation strategy, then you must write and submit articles on a monthly basis. Every article published on the Web is an agent selling for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Therefore you want to increase the number of agents selling and promoting your books, products and services online.

The more publicity and exposure you have online, the more money you will make.

2. Choose ONLY the best websites, ezines and article directories that accept article submissions

Why waste your time submitting articles to websites with:

• Little website traffic
• Little credibility
• No reader interest in what you have to offer

By carefully selecting ONLY the best websites, ezines and article directories we helped:

• Internet Marketing Extraordinaire Yanik Silver reach over 300,000 targeted prospects in just 1 week
• Lesley Mattos, Founder of Adesso Albums, triple her website traffic
• Dr. Karen Sherman and Dr. Vicki Rackner gain worldwide exposure and build a publishing platform for their books.
• Promote Dr. Mark Hyman’s book to the top of the New York Times Best-Sellers List

3. Do NOT use article submission software

Here’s what we discovered:

• The software was not automatic in any way, shape or form. You still have to go to each site, register for each site and confirm your registration.  Then after confirming your registration, you have to go back to the website and put in your username and password.
• Each site has different requirements. There’s no way software can automatically take care of each site’s different requirements.
• The article submission software kept freezing my computer. So, I had to take extra time to shut down and reboot my computer. It took me longer to submit articles using the software than when I submit articles myself without the article submission software.
• Most importantly, article submission software doesn’t allow you to submit articles to the top websites like About.com. You could only submit articles to article directories, which will only get you links. But, you will NOT get more publicity, more prospects and more profits this way!

I hope this was helpful in marketing your business online.
