A Strategy To Get Free Website Traffic

This article is to discuss methods of free advertising for people that have just started an online business. The premise behind this article came after speaking with several people that wanted to start a home-based business, but simply did not have the cash flow to immediately start with a paid advertising program. I wanted to write an article to assist people by offering some free marketing ideas.

A Few Housekeeping Notes...

I do not claim the strategies outlined in this game plan are the absolute best ways to market your business. Remember, we are developing FREE strategies. As with anything that is free, you get what you pay for.

I believe that in order to explode your business, at some point, you will need to incorporate some paid marketing strategies in your business marketing plan. The concept is to use some free strategies, generate some income, then re-invest that income back in your business.

Here is a list of what I believe are important expectations in a free marketing strategy:

Tip # 1: Effort and consistency is the key. A free marketing strategy comes with the clear understanding that nothing in this life is FREE. If you have decided to start an online business, you need to understand that your consistent effort will be required to achieve success. An online business is tough. Even if you have limited time to devote, you absolutely must put in the effort. Without your consistent effort, your business plan will fail.

Tip # 2: Don't expect immediate results. Of course, you'll certainly take it... if it comes. However, understand, this is a start-up business. Plan and expect that it might take 90 days to see positive results.

Having a Millionaire Mindset Is the Key To Success

Have you finally reached a point in your professional life, where you want to start a home business and get out of the rat race for good? If you answered yes, then you need to conquer getting over the wrong employee mindset and instead adopt a millionaire mindset.

The right mindset can be the difference between success and failure when attempting to start an Internet business. Each successful entrepreneur that has created a business online, has the right mindset. This is one of the prime reasons that successful entrepreneur get that way is because they have a certain mindset that makes them money. These folks are not quitters and they persevere even when it looks like they might continue to fail.

Having a Millionaire Mindset is one of the most important parts of becoming a successful entrepreneur. Essentially, this mindset is the make or break between you starting the online business, or you basically wasting your time and money. So essentially you want to learn those things that you want to do, the things that you want to avoid doing and the things that you should avoid dwelling on. It Takes Practice.

Should You Separate Business From Personal On Facebook?

Yes! There are 3 reasons why you want to keep your business activity separate from your personal life on Facebook.

1. Keep friends from being annoyed with your business posts

Your friends are on Facebook to connect with you personally. They aren't interested in seeing your business information in their news feed. Invite your business friends to LIKE your fan page and keep your business discussions there.

An unobtrusive way to maintain connectivity between your personal profile and your business page is by making your business page your place of work. This appears as a link below your photo on your personal profile and is a classier way to make your friends curious about what you do for work.

Tip: Make sure your fan page has your name in it as well as your business description. This way when people search for you by name on Facebook, they will see your personal profile under the People category and your fan page under the Pages category.

2. Be more organized by separating business and personal news feeds

I love doing this because it makes my life easier. When I am in Facebook, I can choose to focus on either personal or business news.

Let's say that you like a page on cooking and this reflects your personal interest. LIKE that page while in your personal persona. When you click Home to go to your news feed, the status updates of that page will appear.

Blogging For Profits Can Increase Your Take Home Pay

More and more people are coming to realize the enormous potential of blogging. The search engines love fresh content and since blogs are updated frequently they give the search engines what they want, in return the blogs get a high rank in the search engines which results in a lot of free traffic, everyone wins. If you want to start blogging for profit there are a few basics that you need to keep in mind to get the most out of this potential.

Here are a few points to keep in mind as you set up your online blogging business:

1. There's always varying opinions on what makes the best blog platform, the two top contenders are WordPress.com and Blogger.com. Most internet marketers I know recommend WordPress. It doesn't matter too much which one you choose, just find the software that you feel the most comfortable using.

2. Stay away from using the free WordPress or Blogger services. I know when you're just starting out you might not have a lot of money, but this is not the place you want to cut corners. Why? Because if you use the free services you don't own anything, you have to abide by the terms of service (TOS) of whichever site you are using and these TOS can change often. If you have a profitable site that is getting a lot of traffic and the company updates it's TOS and you're no longer compliant, your blog will be gone. No discussion, no warning, just gone. While that doesn't happen too often it is a risk you shouldn't take.
