Facebook Fan Pages

Facebook is the 500 lb gorilla of the social media world. The number of people using Facebook grows every day and it isn’t even worth keeping up with the actual numbers because they change so fast. The only thing you really need to know is that almost everybody in the world that has access to the internet uses Facebook. The key to using Facebook to make money is to create fan pages. These are pages that you can create to build a community of fans that “like” your page and by doing so share that page with all of their friends.

To be successful using Facebook to market your business, you must do it using fan pages and not your personal page. Your personal page is where you interact with friends and share funny stories and relevant personal items like birthday parties and family vacations. It is ok to add a link every now and then to your fan pages, but if you do this too often, you will come across as being fake and you will annoy your friends and this won’t help your business at all. Facebook gives you the ability to create an unlimited number of fan pages where you can market to people as much as you want so make sure to “keep it real” on your personal profile and keep the marketing to your fan pages.

I’m not going to tell you the exact steps on how to create a fan page because it constantly changes. If you need help just Google “create a Facebook fan page” and you will get links to the relevant Facebook pages.

So how does a fan page work? It really is pretty simple. You create a fan page on whatever topic you choose. You tie the page to a website or business so that people can go from your Facebook fan page to your money site. Fill your fan page with a bunch of relevant information. You can put links to information you have created on your sites as well as links to general web authorities like Wikipedia. You can attach videos you have created or have found useful. You can even type in your own information directly and ask questions of your fans. The key is to put enough information up that it doesn’t look like a blank page. Once you have the page done to your satisfaction, it is time to start promoting your page and building your fan base.

If you want more information, there are several good books out there about Facebook fan pages as well as complete training programs like Social Profit Formula 2 from Don Crowther. The key thing is to just get out there and do it.

 

Online Video Marketing Course

In the world of online marketing, video sites like YouTube and Viddler are becoming the easiest way to get your message in front of people around the world.  People are putting up silly videos of cats falling off the couch and getting hundreds of thousands, and sometimes even millinos, of views.  If you are a webmaster who wants to get visitors to your website, wouldn't a couple hundred thousand people watching a video you made help you get more traffic?

If you have been avoiding online video because you thought it was too difficult, online video marketing expert Andy Jenkis is launching a program called the Video Boss to help people learn how to make videos really quickly and inexpensively.  This program launched in 2010 and was extremely popular.  It is back again in 2011 and is sure to be even more popular.  If you want to learn more, I created a post called Video Boss Bonus at my main blog so check it out and get all the information including a link to the free videos.

This program is going to be available for sale on June 8, but starting May 26, you can get a preview of what is in the course including a bunch of free tips you can start using today ot make videos like a boss.

As I write this post, the first video Andy created has been up for less than 24 hours and it already has over 2000 comments and from what I can see they are all very positive.  If you are interested at all in online video marketing, you owe it to yourself to check this out!

Thanks for reading and have a greate day!

Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion Set to Help Small Local Businesses Thrive

With the world economy struggling mightily, many people are wondering how things will ever change.  Fortunately, there are some bright spots.  One of those is the strong performance of small, local businesses.  These businesses are the backbone of the world economy and as they improve, so will the world economy.

In order to help these small, local businesses, entrepreneur Mike Koenigs and his team at Traffic Geyser, have created a training program that is designed to help these small businesses as well as create many new small businesses.  This training program is called Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion and it opens up to new students on April 18, 2011.

If you own a small business and need help getting more customers using the power of the internet this may be for you.  If you are passionate about helping and want to start your own business helping others build successful businesses, this may also be for you.  If you are already an online marketer and want to expand into consulting, this program could be for you.

If you choose to sign up, there are a couple Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion Bonus offers you should consider.  The best one that I know of is the Main Street Marketing Machines 2 Bonus offered by moneytreemarketing.com.  They are offering a

The real power of the system is in helping others.  No matter how much money you make, if you aren’t contributing to the greater good, it can feel empty.  With Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion, you are definitely helping out and making the world a better place . . . and you get paid too!

It is Truly All About Helping People

I have been watching a series of videos about online marketing experts helping local businesses.  With the economy still in shambles (in the U.S. and around the world) and soaring unemployment rates (it is actually 18.7% in the county I live in), we can't rely on the government or big corporations to get us out of the mess.  Fortunately, there are hundreds of millions of small businesses around the world (who knows, it may even approach a billion) that can have a dramatic effect on the economic recovery around the world.

The videos I mentioned above are an introduction to a system that helps people help these small businesses on the internet.  As business around the world gets more internet savvy, having an online pressence is crucial for businesses, even in those only providing products and services in their local area.

I am extremly inspired by what is happening and being talked about in these videos.  I will share more details later on today, but for now suffice it to say, I am getting ready to start helping "main street" businesses get better results.  Imagine the effect on the economy if each small business hired just 1 new employee.  I bet things would be a lot better.

That's all for now.  Check back later today for more details.

This is the first time I have decided to offer my services. I will do a complete business evaluation for you and show you how to improve your business. I will not go over what Mike does in the program, I will help you with other aspects of your business. For example, if you need some help with search engine optimization, I will help you with that. If you need help with another aspect, I will help you there.

Other than this, the only way to work with me one on one is to purchase an online marketing package and the cheapest package I have is just under $3000. I will work with you by email and at least 2 one on one phone calls.

Because this will take a lot of my time, I will only offer this to 10 people so after 10 people choose this bonus, I will take it down and the physical bonus will be your only option.

I want to give you an update from my recent trip to San Diego for the Social Media Marketing Machines conference put on my Mike Koenigs and the Traffic Geyser Team.

I had a chance to learn more about the tools they have developed to help people build thriving businesses.  I also had a chance to hang out with Mike and his team at the affiliate appreciation dinner and party because I was one of the top 10 to 15 affiliates for the launch.

In addition to hanging out with some amazing people, I got a chance to get a sneak peak of Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion.  This is the next generation of business building training.  The original Main Street Marketing Machines was the highest selling internet marketing launch in history.  Mike and his team have really turbo charged the program and this time around may sell even more than they did before.

As a veteran of Main Street Marketing Machines and Social Media Marketing Machines, I can attest to how great the tools and training are.  Based on what I saw in the promo video Mike created, Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion will be absolutely amazing.

The program is going to launch in mid April and there will be a lot more information as the time gets closer.  As I always do, I will put together a fantastic Main Street Marketing Machines 2 bonus offer.  There will be the usual physical bonuses like iPads and laptops as well as a chance to get some personal coaching from me.  I haven’t done this before because I really don’t have a lot of time to spare, but I am so excited about this program that I want to help at least a few people get the most out of the program.

Stay tuned for more details about the program and my unbelievable Main Street Marketing Machines 2.0 Fusion Bonus.

Local Marketing

I have heard that 1/4 of all searches on Google are local searches.  This means that somebody is looking for something they are going to do or buy where they live.  There is a huge potential to get involved in this market by working with local businesses that desperately need help getting their busines in front of local buyers.  Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to do this.

The easiest way to get a local business in front of local buyers is using Google Places.  If your not familiar with it, this is the map with local businesses marked on it that shows up when a local phrase is searched in Google.  Usually, this local businesses map shows up at the very top so it is ahead of all the other search engine optimized pages.  The great part about Google Places is that local businesses can easily compete and often beat the big name companies because on the local scene, the playing field is pretty level.

Another great way to get a local business out there is with a Facebook fan page.  A fan page can draw lots of local people who share it with their friends and before you know it you have hundreds or even thousands of local fans.  This probably isn't as effective as having a really good Google Places listing, but it can still bring in a lot of business.

If you want to put a business in front of local buyers, you can also use traditional media.  Most areas have a weekly classified paper or a free paper that allows you to advertise for a really low price.  Putting  an ad in these free papers can bring in a lot of business as well.

These are just a few ideas on how to get great results with local marketing.  You can do this for your own business or go into business helping other businesses do this.  Whatever your need, local marketing can be a lot easier than large scale marketing and bring fantastic results quickly.

Super Affiliate Coaching Club Bonus

I have been involved in internet marketing and affiliate marketing for several years.  For as long as I can remember, a guy named Jeff Johnson has been dominating the world of affiliate marketing.  He has won so many affiliate contests that I can't even begin to imagine how he does it.  Fortunately, he is going to open a course called Super Affiliate Coaching Club on March 16 which will show people exactly how he does it.  I for one can't wait.

If you decide to purchase the program, you will have the opportunity to get many different Super Affiliate Coaching Club Bonus packages.  Some will be for extra training, but the really good ones will be for physical bonuses like iPads.  My personal favorite is the brand new iPad 2 offered at MoneyTreeMarketing.com.  Click the link or the picture above to get all the details on this bonus.

If you don't know what affiliate marketing is, I will give you a quick rundown.

In a traditional business, you sell a product for money.  You either buy something and resell it or create something yourself and sell it.  You have to collect money yourself.  Companies like PayPal have made it easy, but you still have to worry about physically selling the product.  You also have to cover customer service which includes complaints and returns.

In affiliate marketing, you get paid to help somebody else sell a product.  In the internet marketing world, you simply send a website visitor to another site and collect a commission whenever a purchase is made.  You only get a portion of the sale price, but you don't have to worry about collecting money, dealing with customers, or handling returns.  It is so much easier.

The Super Affiliate Coaching Club will show you how to harness the power of affiliate marketing by giving you all the traffic generating secrets that Jeff has learned over the years.  You can learn more about the program at MoneyTreeMarketing.com if this is something you want to learn more about.  You can also find out about some other great launch bonuses like the Authority Formula Bonus and the Millionaire Secrets Revealed Bonus offers.  All of these programs are launching in early March so check them out before they are gone.
