How To Find the Right Domain For Your Business

A Domain Name is a name given to your website that gives you an identity on the web and is the name by which your site will be identified.   Every website has its own domain name, there will never be 2 with the same name unlike an offline business or franchise where the brand name IS the business.

For example, compare a Domain Name to an offline Franchise Name such as McDonalds;  if this was an online business and you were buying into McDonalds you would look for a Domain Name, preferably with the McDonalds brand but the Top Level Domain i.e. www.McDonalds.com will not be available as it will be used by the overall business owner.  So, what you would do in effect is to look for perhaps McDonaldsburgers.com or McDonaldsRealBeef.com.

I made 2 short videos that I hope explains it a bit further:

What is the purpose of writing articles?

What is the purpose of writing articles?

The purpose of writing articles is first and foremost to educate people, to give something of value to the reader, to pass your knowledge or expertise of a particular subject onto others.

Within the internet marketing industry and in fact many other industries, it can be a lucrative way of driving traffic to your website and the other real beauty is it is FREE.  What I love about Ezine Articles is that writing just one article can mean a Google position on many different pages within your niche.  The added bonus is that once you have had your article published, it is out there sending traffic to you for many, many years to come.

Before writing – what is the purpose of your specific article?

Any good article author will tell you that you should always sit down before you write any article and determine what the purpose of that particular article is.  For example, if your intention is to rate in the Search Engines then you will need to use long tail keywords so your article will appear when people type that keyword into the Search Engine.

If you are writing an article to submit to a blog post or a niche related forum where your target  market hangs out, then you don’t even need to bother too much about keywords at all.  Your purpose on this occasion is not to appear on the Search Engine Results page but to offer something of value to your hungry audience.

Search Engine Ratings or Value to the Reader?

I have never written any article yet that has started with me aiming solely to get ratings in the search engines.  Instead what I have tried to do is to answer the questions that I sought answers to when I first came into internet marketing.  If during my many visits to the forums that are out there, I see a reoccurring question then I will do some research if necessary and attempt to write an article on that also.  Again this is about providing value rather than ratings.

Now this doesn’t mean that I totally ignore the Search Engines but just that I do not dwell on it so much.  The day I made the decision to no longer focus on keywords, keywords, and more keywords was the day I felt a huge burden lift from me.

There is also a lot of software out there that promises to take the ‘arduous’ task of writing articles away from you.  Some claim that you only need write one article and their software will spin it to make several more articles out of that one.

My question to you then is “what is your purpose of writing articles?”  “What are you attempting to achieve?”  I ask this because in my opinion, the fact that you have opted for an easy way out suggests that this is all about ‘you’ and ‘taking’ rather than ‘giving’ value to your readers first and foremost.

Social Media Marketing – Do’s and Don’ts

I have lots of friends on social media sites and it can be a great marketing tool when used correctly.  It allows you to brand yourself, to meet, network and build all kinds of relationships with like-minded people.

The most common error however is that many marketers constantly lead with a sales pitch of their opportunity.

On sites like Facebook, Twitter and others, people don’t really care about your business opportunity.  They care about themselves and what other people are up to.  So with that in mind, instead of pitching your business to people right out the gate, develop an interest in others.  People love to talk about themselves especially if someone else seems interested in them.

You can lead the conversation by asking questions about them on topics related to what you would ideally like to talk to them about.  For example, ask what they do for a living and this in turn may prompt a similar reciprocal question.  This is when you TALK about your business but don’t PITCH it, just have a conversation.

You can tell right away if you are talking with a potential prospect.  If they do seem interested, give them a link where they can learn more.  Ideally this should be your blog site or hub page and even better if it has a Bio page included.  This way, the visitor will really get a feel for who you are and what you have to offer.

It is OK to post an ad on your social media sites wall, but it is even better to provide value in your posts.  The more value you can add and the more interest you generate in your posts, the more people will pay attention to you and seek out your profile to learn more.

In your posts you can be as dramatic as you like, controversial even, funny or whatever it takes to get attention.  Never, ever be negative or attack someone, this is so not cool.

If you really don’t like someone’s posts, then it is very easy just to delete them from your friends’ list.  Personal attacks put you in a bad light and this can have negative consequences for you.

You can drive a more targeted social media list by starting a group connected to your business opportunity.  Start off by inviting all your friends to it, and then have them invite their friends also.  You must be prepared to bring value to the group however, but it is a forum for you to promote your opportunity.

So long as you continue to provide more value than pitch and people feel they come away from your posts with something to enrich their life, they will begin to promote you without the need for pitching.

In summary:

• Build relationships with your social media friends
• Don’t lead by pitching your business opportunity
• Don’t spend time on people who are not interested in you or your business
• Nurture relationships with people who are
• Don’t send people directly to your landing page
• Send them to a blog or hub page
• Don’t spam your friends or followers with ads
• Always provide valuable content
• Don’t be boring
• Do whatever it takes in your headlines to get people’s attention

A great site for learning all the technical know how’s on Facebook

Brick wall ahead – non techie about to come crashing through!

I’ve gained so much technical knowledge these last 6 months or so now that I think I get a wee bit carried away with myself and sometimes I think I’m a lot better than I really am.  I try and be too adventurous and it always comes back to bite me on the proverbial.

What I’ve been trying to do for the last xx hours is something that probably sounds really simple to some people and it is to do with setting up accounts.  It was in place, or so I thought until I went to move some accounts around and realised I hadn’t quite got it right with one of them in the first place.  In the end I got so frustrated with trying to backtrack etc, I just closed the account and opened a new one.

Do you ever find yourself doing that, taking the long way round things when a really simple solution is staring you straight in the face?  Pragmatism is a large part of my personality and most pragmatists don’t take time to read instructions, they just plough straight in.  Well that is me over and over, and I never learn.  It doesn’t always result in errors but when it does, I would give anything to be the opposite type of personality and be a reflector.  Someone who doesn’t make decisions quickly but takes lots and lots of time to evaluate, to weigh up all the pros and cons and then takes things one baby step at a time.

So, that’s where I’m at right now.

On the positive side, I attended a fantastic webinar with our marketing group tonight and learned of really exciting things happening.  I’m always amazed at how we never sit still, there’s always some other high money making venture waiting to be thrust into our laps.

Tonight was extra exciting though – not only is there some really HOT STUFF coming our way but we are putting on a timebound promotion where people can try before they buy with all our marketing and coaching club.  All this for just $1 - I just can’t see how it is possible but if that’s what the boss says, that’s what we can offer.  I just wish I had this opportunity to access the best training materials and make lots of money for just $1 – I would have been laughing all the way to the bank.

So, here it is - grab it while you can because it won’t be there forever and could be taken down at any time.
