7 Steps to boost your marketing

If your marketing is not working for you, and you do not generate clients, try some new strategies and see what fits your business.

You know the saying: “if you keep doing what you always do, you will get what you always get”
Here are 7 easy tips to apply and change your marketing strategy.

1. Make sure you connect to your niche and the message talks to YOUR client needs.
2. Use WordPress to easy convert prospect into leads by adding widgets like opt-in, newsletter and other triggers to have  people sign up.
3. Set up your website to pull in leads 24-7. Make some free offers, videos, how to e-zines or documents that the leads can download immediately without having to wait on your answer.
4. Optimize your site to get more traffic. Build in better description, add keywords and tags that convey your message. Optimize and submit to search engines to be easy to find.
5. Gather as many testimonials from happy customers as you can. Post on your web, or blog to increase sales.
6. Create an irresistible and “juicy” free offers. You can create a “how to” specific to your product or service, create “easy steps” to teach them something, or help them with some problems that you know that might be helpful. This will create a trust and you establish yourself as an expert in your field.
7. Build an email list of high quality leads. Compile lists by customer needs or wants, then send them regularly e-mails with updates on the topics  you know they will  be interested in. You can add your sales pitch at the end of the newsletter or e-mail, so if they interested in getting more, they can (and will) sign up or buy your product.

Do not give up. No one becomes an overnight success. You have to work hard to earn the trust and status on the market.
Be patient, create and act with your customer’s needs in mind when you deploy your marketing strategy.
Keep connecting and ask questions, so you can then create the best feedback and be of help.
Good luck.

Not happy with “XYZ” hosting – to much spam

  How much spam or junk mail did you receive last month in your snail mail box? Are you blaming your Post office?
How much spam or junk mail did you receive past days through your free e-mail accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL, Gmail..?) Are you blaming your e-mail provider for it?
How much junk mail have you received past month in your IMAP or SMTP account, or your Smartphone, your blog, your web site….. who do you blame?

Why do you blame your hosting company for your web site or blog for the spam you receive?
Hosting companies are not responsible for your account traffic, nor are to be blamed for allowing your presence on the internet to be known and accessed.
Any time you subscribe online or fill a form, this traffic is recorded and propagated.
The more online exposure to your site, blog or advertisement (that is if you doing your SEO, SES and marketing campaign correctly), the more likely you will receive spam. This means that you have visibility and people can reach you.
There are many options to block spam, junk mail or unwanted contacts. Your service and hosting providers have a built in setting to do just that. BUT it is up to you if you are using this option or disregard the function of it.
For example:
Free hosted e-mail accounts have settings for your white list, black list, also option to use key words for subjects or message data that you want to block.
MS Outlook has settings along with rules and automated process that would eliminate and delete these incoming links.
Web sites and blogs have settings along with available plug-ins that can be used to weave spam and junk.




The next time you find overwhelmed by spam or junk, please check your settings and try not to blame others but yourself of not keeping your lists, keywords, or rules up to date.
