About a year ago is when I started to first enter the world of internet marketing. Search engine optimization, blogging, podcasting, etc. were words used by geeks and nerds and certainly not cool me. I had no idea as to what,and how, I could use the internet to market other than use it for researching companies.
Fast forward to today and I can tell you,as a marketer mind you, that those 3 terms,above, have become hugely important in the way I do business. Not only do I utilize all three in different capacities but I use them extensively. Let me explain how I use them and below I will give you several websites that will allow you to sign up for free services!
Blogging is nothing more than a website that allows you to change the content. Yep, that simple. The great thing about a blog is that you do not have to be a great writer to have a great blog. Throw out the rules of proper grammer and write. If you can utilize great keywords/phrases(SEO) even better. But the important this is to write. Content is king on any website/blog and content is what the search engines index.
But what if you don't like to write? Well, my friend, you don't have to have a text blog.Although I recommend some good keywords on your blog,how about a video blog? Adding video to any blog will help keep your client/prospect on your page longer. If it's relevant or funny it may even go viral which is what you want to have happen.
Adding audio(podcast)to your blog post will also help retain and grow readership. You don't have to read your blog to the reader but by adding some good audio the reader now reads in your voice,not theirs. This will allow your reader to "hear" the words the way you meant to write them.
These are just a couple of ideas to help you grow your business online. There are lot's of ways to utilize the internet and I wanted to share a couple of them with you. This way you won't get overwhelmed.
Here are a couple of great websites to help you get started:
