7 Online Marketing tips for people starting out
When I stared out I wish I had a list of online marketing tips that could help me out along the way. I didn't do as much research as I should have and I just pushed forward learning as I went. If I did happen to have some online marketing tips I would probably have been successful much quicker than I was. By not means am I rich, but I do make enough to pay my bills and go on a vacation once a year. So I'm hoping this discussions get in front of the right people, especially those people who are starting off in online marketing
10 Online Marketing Tips For Newbies
1. You need to be blogging
Blogging isn't just getting content on your website about your niche. Blogging on your website is more of a lead generation tool and also a way to refine your writing skills in order to close more deals. Blogging is not only a good way to help you with your writing, but the amount of traffic you can pull in from the search engines is staggering. With a bunch of well written articles that are for your viewers, you will begin to see that you're gaining likes, shares and even some traffic from the search engines since they like what you had to say
2. Content will always be king
When it comes to writing, you will need to spin words of gold in order to stay in the good graces of your viewers. Give them loads of information for free through your blog posts and your static pages, and in turn you will notice that you're getting more referrals and increased rankings in the SERPs due to it. Of course you will need to have all of your content optimized for the search engines as well as have it easily readable for your viewers, which isn't always an easy thing to do, but you'll have to figure it out along the way
3. A unique idea is usually better than one which has been beaten to death.
In today's world, not many people have an original thought in their head. It's sad to say, but it's most definitely true if you think about it. How many marketers out there are doing the same exact thing because someone before them did it and was successful? I would say it's close to 99% of them. The ones who are really successful are people who think outside of the box and do their own thing. Sure you can be successful doing something that someone else already perfected, but you can strike it rich if you make your own idea profitable since you will likely not have any competition
4. Always be building your email list.
When it comes to running a website, you will always have an email address. Email marketing will never go away because we now have third party services such as mailchimp and aweber which help you get your emails inboxed. Building your list from day 1 will help you out immensely on day 500 or day 1,000 because you will have all those people to market to when you launch a new service or website
5. Get on Twitter
Even if you don't think you'll have a massive following, you should be on twitter posting some tweets at least twice a week. This will only help you get seen by the search engines and possibly pull in some additional clients. You never know who's watching your profiles and how big they can get if you're not trying
6. Build a Facebook page
Facebook is one of the biggest websites in the world, the only other rival it really has is Googles search engine and that's not even in the same niche lol. By building a Facebook page for your website or business you're spreading out your marketing net which will funnel in sales and clients over time. You can share your blog posts on your Facebook account through automation or by doing it manually and everyone will see it, hopefully lol. You can also set up a PPC campaign through Facebook in order to build your audience and eventually start gaining a decent amount of clients through it
7. Reviews are what you need
Today people will trust any review they see on sites like Yelp, SuperPages, etc. because it's usually from people who have used the service or website before. Now I'm not saying they're all 100% truthful reviews since there are competitors out there that would rather harm your sales than try to increase their own. It's like they think by giving you a bad review they're going to be increasing their own sales by 100 a day, which doesn't happen.
You need to get positive reviews from your clients as much as you can. Give them incentives to review you on social media, review sites, blogs, etc. and they will likely help you out if they were happy. You need to remember that happy people don't leave reviews as often as angry people, so you need to urge your happy people to post reviews.

Follow what I said above and you should be on your way to success much quicker than I was when I started out lol
