Join Online Forums

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hi everyone,

So far we’ve discussed promoting your business using blogging, article marketing and by using traffic exchanges. Today I’d like to tell you about how important it is to join online forums and to share with you all my good news. I’ve just accepted an invitation to become a Moderator of  the Women Entrepreneurs section at  EvanCarmichael.com Forums!

Joining online forums is a must for anyone who wants their business to succeed online..why? Because it lets you interact with others, it lets you get to know people in a similar situation to you, you can bounce ideas off each other and offer services to one another and most importantly it will enable you to become known and trusted on the Internet.

There are literally thousands of forums on the Internet today covering every topic imaginable and they all consist of communities of like minded people, all giving each other help and advice, there are people in most of them that are experts in their field and I guarantee you’ll be learning something new most days, if there isn’t a discussion on what you want to know about all you have to do is introduce a new thread and ask a question, talk to the other members, you’ll make some new friends and very soon you’ll be helping others yourself, and that really is a great feeling.

Go and check out the EvanCarmichael.com Forums now, there is just about every imaginable topic covered including, Getting Financed, Sales / Marketing, Entrepreneur Resources and of course Women Entrepreneurs
If you like what you see, and I’m sure you will, join up and take advantage of everything it has to offer..it’s FREE to join.

My thanks go to David Hurley and GT Bulmer for recommending  the Evan Carmichael Forum to me and enabling me to become a moderator.

Take care,

Carol

Advertising on Traffic Exchanges

Written by Carol Aston on Sep 21st, 2008 | Filed under: Getting Started

Hi everyone,

Another great (and FREE) way to promote your website is by advertising on traffic exchanges. And it really is so simple.

The first thing you will need to do is create a free account at one of the many traffic exchanges out there like Traffic Swarm. I suggest using a lead capture page rather than a long sales page as this will bring you better results..people using traffic exchanges only hang around on your page for about 20 seconds as all they are doing is surfing for credits, the same as you will be.

Once you have set up your account you need to create a good advertisement, one that will encourage people to click on it, it’s a good idea to create several, all with different headlines but linked to the same lead capture page. When you first sign up, go surfing for credits and take note of which of the opportunities make you want to click on them, you’ll soon get the idea.

One thing to beware of, when you are surfing for credits, don’t be tempted to sign up for everything that comes on the page, it really can be easy to do. If you are looking for something in particular and you come across it, that’s great, go for it, otherwise just keep surfing, the more credits you earn the more times your advertisement will be shown.

That’s really all there is to it, didn’t I tell you it was simple? And all for free, unless you want to upgrade that is, but there really is no need, especially not at first and if you are on a limited budget.

If you are not sure what a lead capture page is then take a look at the article on this page titled “What Exactly is a Lead Capture Page?“, another great place to go is The Home Income Team as they provide you with plenty of lead capture pages to use for advertising on traffic exchanges.

Take care,

Start Writing Articles

Written by Carol Aston on Sep 14th, 2008 | Filed under: Getting Started

Hi everyone, thanks for continuing to read my blog, keep those comments coming in!

So have you started your own blog yet? If you have then post a comment on here with a link to your own site..you’ll have an instant backlink! And don’t forget to ping those blogs. Now you need to start writing articles, why? Because it is by far one of the best ways to drive traffic to your site or promote any product you want to.

So what can you start writing articles about?

Information is by far the biggest seller on the Internet. Think about it, how many times a day do you search for something in one of the search engines. All you have to do is write articles that are relevant to your particular site. I remember when I first started working online and was advised to start writing articles I thought what can I possible write about that would interest anyone? Well I was pleasantly surprised and you will be too.

Once you have started working online you are learning all the time and there is always someone that you are one step ahead of that you will be able to give advice to..try it, start off by writing short articles on your blog and build them up until you can write articles of 300 to 500 words, then submit them to article directories, here are 5 of the best:

EzineArticles.com

Ideamarketers.com

Goarticles.com

Contentdesk.com

SubmitYourArticle.com

You are going to need a title, the main content of your article and a resource box. Make sure the title reflects the content of your article properly and is something that is likely to be searched for regularly, you can type the title into Google and see how many results it comes up with. The main content is the article itself..remember , when submitting to directories, no links or ads in here, these must be saved for the resource box.

That’s it! Now go and start writing articles. If you would like to learn more about an Easy, Proven And Simple Way To Pump Out High Quality Articles And Turn Them Into Long Term Residual Income then take a look at  Article Cash

Until next time,

take care,

Carol

Start Promoting Your Online Business

Written by Carol Aston on Sep 12th, 2008 | Filed under: Getting Started

Hi there,

Before I went away on holiday I promised to go into more detail about how to start promoting your online business, today I’m going to tell you how to start off with blogging.

Blogging is a great way to increase traffic to your website and any programs you want to promote. So what is a blog and what is blogging? A blog is exactly what you are reading now and it is an abbreviation of web log and I’m the one doing the blogging, that is I’m  the one writing on the blog and believe me it really does boost your traffic. In fact it is one of the easiest ways to start promoting your online business!

All you have to do is get a free blog from either Blogger or Wordpress, if you are new to the internet I recommend Blogger as it is much easier to understand than Wordpress..it does take a while to get the hang of Wordpress but it well worth it in the long run. Whichever one you decide to start with do it now and start promoting your online business!

By writing reviews of your product, opportunity or website and adding links to them you will soon be well on your way. Make sure you post regularly on your blog to keep the traffic coming in, also comment on other people’s blogs and add a link to your website or blog..this too will bring you more visitors..after all if no one is visiting your site, no one is going to buy anything! You really must start promoting your online business, without traffic you are wasting your time, everyone..and I mean everyone, who has any kind of site on the web will tell you this.

That’s about it for today so go and get yourself a blog and start blogging and start promoting your online business!

Take care,

Carol
