Start by Building a List
Everyone needs a list in the Internet marketing business. It’s the foundation that your success will be partially built upon. You do not want to try to market through your blog or website alone and you certainly do not want to be spamming people with unwanted emails. Therefore, you build a list. There are many ways you can do that and I will be covering some of that in future articles. The one excellent way to build a list is to offer excellent content whether it is on your website or in a newsletter. You could also, do webinars, create videos, record audio interviews, interview for them etc. The ‘content’ part might not reap you immediate financial rewards but it will go a long way in making you more money in the long-term. This is one of the foundational Internet marketing tips for beginners. Read on for another way to help with list building.
Create a Fantastic Squeeze Page
To effectively build a list you need an excellent squeeze or capture page. This tells people what you have to offer them and why they should fork over their name and email to you. You need to offer them something solid, not junk. Do not offer people something that is available anywhere they go in the Internet. Make a clean uncluttered squeeze page whose only goals are to get people to opt-in. Make sure your opt-in box is highly visible and easy for people to use. This is a great way to draw subscribers to your list.
Target Your Keywords Effectively
Make sure the keywords you are targeting are not too broad. Do not choose Internet marketing and hope to rank #1 in Google for that. It will never happen. Choose a tighter focus such as Internet marketing strategies or even tighter keywords. Go for long tail keywords – phrases with three or more words – when possible. Using the right keywords can make all the difference in the amount of traffic you bring in and the amount of subscribers that come on board. When you use targeted keywords for your niche, you also help to brand yourself, which is another great Internet;marketing tip for beginners I talk about on my blog as well.
