If you want to set your business apart from your competitors spend some time creating and fostering relationships with your current and prospective customers. Strong business relationship lead to long term customers and this is good for your bottom line. If you have been ignoring social media it's time to recognize that you are turning your back on a vital direct connection to the people who have supported your business and those people who may be your next customers. Your customers are a vital source of information for any company. They can help you understand how to better meet their needs and therefore, retain their business while attracting new business. One of the most powerful ways to tap this valuable resource is by finding more ways to connect with your customers and build lasting relationships. Relationship building is an ongoing process on and offline. Social media makes it easier to start and build relationships with current and prospective customers all over the world. Your marketing plan should include dedicating resources for building your online presence through posts, blogs, backlinks, bookmarks, commenting and more. Your website is simply not enough any more. If you want to speak to your customers and grow your sales you will need to connect with them using popular social media. Social media makes it easy to build relationships with your customers, here's how. - Instantly create connections - Expand your reach to new markets - Ability to jump on customer service issues right away - Better identify gaps in your service provision - Know what people are saying about your company - Increase awareness of what your business offers - Increase referrals and sales - Generate new sales with offers - Post Product or Service Reviews - Improve customer experiences with your company - Generate fresh online frequent content that you control What to do next: Have a look at some of the popular Social Media sites to see which ones are the best fit for your company, products or services.

Building A Online Business, Tips from Two of The Best Marketers

Planning on making money online this year? Unless you avoid these lethal mistakes you haven't got a prayer. by Dr. Jeffrey Lant Author's program note. Like ABBA? I do. I think they produced some of the most clever, stylish and sophisticated dance music and rhythms ever. Like their mega-hit "Money, Money, Money" (released in 1976). It's not only one of the best jump-up songs ever, but it's got a message you may have to take to heart if you're still trying (but consistently failing) to make money online. It's this: "If I got me a wealthy man..." That's right, it may be time (and is probably way past time) to use your wiles and charm to snag a rich mate... because you're just wasting your time online... ... unless.... you take heed to the irrefutable verities about what you must know and do... and so finally turn the Internet into the cash hose it's long been for people like me, who make money online daily, while you can't even figure out who's on first. Must avoid mistake #1. Don't work alone. Working online all by your lonesome is just plain nuts. I credit my awesome success online to a crucial decision I made nearly 20 years ago: the overwhelming majority of online entrepreneurs need more skills -- technical, marketing, people -- than they've got. For such people (and I very much include myself) success is unlikely, even impossible if you try to go it alone. Don't. You're going to need cutting-edge tech experts; Internet marketing experts, and yes personnel to make sales and bring in the bucks 24/7/365. Have you got this team in place? Well you'd better get it together before you waste any more time and money. Must avoid mistake #2. STOP thinking, STOP believing you can built a profitable online business off free stuff. You can't. Say that again: YOU CAN'T! Bite this bullet here and now, once for all. It's going to cost you money to create a successful online business; just like it costs money to establish a successful offline business. If you've been trying and trying and trying to succeed online without investing you're probably beyond hope. But let's assume you've still got some of your little grey cells in place and functional. Use some of them to get the money you need to create a profitable online business. There's no way around it: it takes money to make money, and personally I won't even talk to the steady stream of folks who approach me without investment dollars in hand. That's the "bad" news; the good news is that it's still ridiculously cheap to start a profit-making online business that can net you the minimum 6-figure income it takes to live well these days. Must avoid mistake #3. Get educated about what you need to establish a money-making business online. Stop trying to "teach" yourself. If you knew how to make money online, I imagine you'd be making money, right? But you don't. And you will never know if you have yourself as your prime expert and instructor. Bluntly, you know and can do too little to justify that. There are many fine online business-building instructors. I swear by mine: George Kosch. He's been instructing me for almost 20 years now. He's smart about what you've got to do in the constantly http://www.BizBuildersCommunity.com

Building A Online Business, Tips from Two of The Best Marketers changing 'net environment, a superb trainer and communicator.... good looking, too. I've made out like a bandit by putting my ego where it belongs (in some closet) and LEARNING from a man who guarantees you'll make money if you follow his proven system. I did... and I have. Must avoid mistake #4. You don't know how to generate unlimited traffic to your site...and until you do, YOU'RE DOA. That why you must become a traffic expert immediately, if not sooner. If you launch your online business without knowing precisely where your absolutely essential traffic will be coming from, you deserve what you get: Nada! Nothing! Zip! Yet to my utter consternation and astonishment, not a day goes by when some knucklehead tells me he hasn't got guaranteed traffic, doesn't know how to get it, but is a "survivor" who'll figure it out as he does. OMG! Such people probably believe in the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. They are casualties just waiting to happen. Here again I want to pat George Kosch on the back. The guy is a walking encyclopedia of each and every way that exists to generate online traffic... and trains lucky folks like me to use these every single day. He does it in an amazing program called "Home Business Boot Camp"... and he guides you (with skill and patience) to get the traffic you must have... starting today! He's got a worldwide following who swear by his methods.... as I most assuredly do myself. Do you have a George Kosch in your life? No? Then book your space in the lifeboat today... you'll need it! Must avoid mistake #5. It happened again just yesterday. I was counseling a gent who told me he'd bought some traffic; sent it to his home page... and didn't get a single response! What did he do wrong? Just everything... The first rule of successful traffic and crucial list building is to direct ALL traffic to a landing page. Why? Because that's the proven way to get traffic, traffic, traffic and build the prospect lists that are crucial to online success. So, ask yourself this: do you know how to create and use landing pages? And be honest, totally honest with yourself, because if you get it wrong you're toast... (By the way, you won't be surprised to learn George Kosch -- there he is again -- writes my landing pages... and they're gold mines.) Well, I've run out of space, with lots more to tell you, but that'll have to wait for another day. Now, I'm heading over to my favorite search engine where that fabulous dance number by ABBA is waiting for me (and you). As I listen to "Money, Money, Money" I'll know I'm the rich guy you're looking for, the guy who can give you that cushy life you'd like. But why would I want an Internet loser in my life? After all, it's a rich man's world... ## What do you think? Let us know by posting your comments below.

Building A Online Business, Tips from Two of The Best Marketers

A recognized Internet marketing master delivers the sober word you don't want to hear: The way you're 'marketing' online your failure is assured. Take the challenge and see for yourself. Author's program note. One of the great films is "Cool Hand Luke" (1967) that features this line etched in acid, "What we have here is failure to communicate". This line is delivered just after the prison authority has slashed "Luke" with a whip, causing him to roll over and over down a long, dusty hill, each rotation more painful than the last. The warden then says what seems an extraordinary statement: that Luke had been beaten because he wanted it that way... Huh? But pretty soon you understand the authority figure is right. Luke is determined to do things his way, when that way is a certain disaster... he won't learn, won't examine his position, and will never admit to error. The only thing that will enlighten him and change certain failure to incipient progress is getting beaten and beaten again; then he might see the benefit, the essential value of instruction, training and constant adjustment and beneficial change. Luke's pointless "system" delivers nothing but misery. Communication delivers the desired results that you're too stubborn to master. So what if what you're doing doesn't work. "It's a poor thing but mine own" and therefore good enough. Thus, for the music to accompany this article, I give you the theme song to "Cool Hand Luke" because you bear more than a passing resemblance to a character and a situation that will keep failing you and which you do not wish to change -- whatever you say. Find the music by Lalo Schifrin in any search engine, and remember: it's YOUR theme, obstinacy and willful adherence to present, total, predictable failure being celebrated. Why you must master marketing to succeed online. Right now chances are whatever online enterprise you are pursuing is not only failing to make you a living wage... it is failing to make you anything at all. Don't be coy about this; YOU are a complete, total, abject, and ridiculous marketing catastrophe. So, what have you been doing to solve this problem and generate increasing bucks? What have you been doing? I'll tell you what you've been doing; the same things that delivered failure while expecting success, if you do them long enough This is the textbook definition of madness... and that makes YOU certifiably crazy. "Your Money Is In Their Pocket!" Right now people around the world are walking around with your money in their pockets. Moreover, due to the pathetic way you "market", one thing is clear: you will never get that money. It will stay in your customer's pocket... he will in due course spend it elsewhere, thereby depriving himself of whatever benefit you could deliver and 100% of the profits you would have derived. What's worse, you seem neither to know nor to care that this travesty of marketing that keeps you broke and unsuccessful is going on. You're the poor little lamb who has gone astray... and you must be perfectly happy with that result... since you learn nothing new; try nothing new; and master nothing new. Amazing! Magic words that deliver one hot prospect after another; the rocket ship that delivers them. To succeed online you need, first of all, prospect lists because in my well-known phrase "The list is the business... and the business is the list." To make money you must have lists; to make lots of money, you must have bigger lists. Developing this list is a project for each and every day you want to move money from "their" pockets... to yours. The first critical question: what did you do each day http://www.BizBuildersCommunity.com

Building A Online Business, Tips from Two of The Best Marketers to move money from "their" pockets... to yours. The first critical question: what did you do each day this week to grow your pivotal lists? Don't be vague; be rigorously detailed and specific. The sad fact is, you've probably done nothing on this matter whatsoever. And so you will continue to fail. That's 100 percent certain. You must give your prospects a reason to pick up the phone and call you. Do you? Consider this. Over the years I have turned myself from an impecunious graduate student (albeit at Harvard) into an online multi-millionaire. How did it happen? By creating powerful, punchy, profit-making ads like this one, my current favorite and likely to remain so since it is a certifiable money maker: Call me now for your FREE Internet marketing consultation. $100 value. Let an expert show you RIGHT NOW how to profit online every single day without leaving home. Call me -- Dr. Jeffrey Lant -- now, (617) 547-6372. LIVE 24/7/365. Your success guaranteed. I'm waiting for your call RIGHT NOW! This verbiage MUST be on EVERYTHING that will be seen, received, read and presented to every single person you wish to respond. Each time you send out ANYTHING, be that business card, email message, brochure, space ad, landing page, etc. without these precise words is a marketing opportunity and ALL its potential profits lost and gone forever "dreadful sorrow, Clementine." Ebooks as rocket ships. Now you know the magic words to use that ensure 100 percent guaranteed results. How do you get them into the hands of prospects who, being motivated by them, will pick up the telephone to make instant contact with --you? There are many ways, but here's one that takes just about 5-7 minutes per day. It's ebook marketing... and it's so clever because you don't write your ebooks (though you may if you like). I DO! Just over two years ago... In the fall of 2010, I had an epochal "AHA!" moment. Keep in mind that at that time, the Great Recession was dragging down the Great Republic, the European Union, and the world. I wanted to seize this crucial moment when all the best things on Earth were for sale at deeply discounted prices; I wanted to seize this moment, I say, to fatten my stock portfolio and fast-growing collection of eye-popping Old Master pictures and the best 18th century furniture. In short, I needed lots of cash... and a mechanism to deliver it to me and the eager-beavers who saw this turbulent, even frightening time as the right time for massive asset acquisition. Enter the ebook... the ebook you don't write but can profit from every single day! Well over 1,000,000 formatted words, with images and musical cues, marching smartly to 1000 articles. Here's the good word, bird. Since September, 2010 I have written approaching one thousand articles; each about 1500 words. You can see them at jeffreylantarticles.com These articles, carefully researched, carefully written cover over 35 different subject areas. At least 20 new articles are added every single month. Using them is a breeze... Go to the article repository. Select any 2 or 3. Add the magic marketing words above. Click, send... and await certain response... by people picking up the phone to call you... whenever they're ready to call you. Is this difficult in any way? No, it's child's play. Is it time-consuming? Certainly not. 7 minutes for newbies. Under 5 for experienced marketers. Does it produce prospect leads? Yes, EVERY time you use it, which should be 7 days a week. http://www.BizBuildersCommunity.com

Building A Online Business, Tips from Two of The Best Marketers And now The Million-Dollar Question. WILL YOU DO IT? Return to "Cool Hand Luke," obstinate, stubborn, beaten, unsuccessful... just plain stupid. Now let's be brutally frank with each other. I remind you that this is proven, that it's simple, that it takes but a few paltry minutes a day, that it will cause your phone to ring off the hook (especially if you put it on the top of each document for maximum impact), that it will ensure profits, profits which will grow as you grow your lists. But you, admit it, are "cool hand Luke", lazy, excuse making, smart aleck, a permanent sneer on your lips, the know-it-all who knows nothing. You'll follow this advice for a day; maybe, two. You'll start seeing results. Then your residual bad habits will kick in, including your acute disinclination to take phone calls from real people. After all, when push comes to shove you are most surely of the "I love humanity; it's people I can't stand" School of Marketing. And you're a slothful bugger, too. You'll deny all this of course, just as Paul denied Jesus 3 times before the cock crowed. But the truth will be most apparent in your derisory bank account, assets, and future. Partner, I hope that sneer on your face and your reeking arrogance are enough for you, 'cause, baby, that's what you're gonna get. Capisce?
