Web Advertising Secrets

Sunday, May 8th, 2011

You are reading this, so it is self-evident that you already do some stuff on line, but how much do you use the Net? Do you use it to its full potential? Do you merely spend money on the Internet or do you make money on the Net too?

You may say that you have never spent a penny on line, but that would not be a fact, would it? You have a computer that you almost certainly use generally for going on line and you pay for a broadband connection.

If you find yourself only surfing to use up free time, why not set yourself the aim of using the Internet to pay for your monthly connection fees and your next (replacement) computer or a new laptop? That could be a project, a quest, a challenge, if you like.

If you have too much time on your hands this would be a decent excuse to extend your knowledge of computers, the Net and business or business on line as well.

If you already have a business, on or off line, you should be using the Net to promote it. If you are unfamiliar with the on line ways of marketing, we can stick with traditional off line methods that have been imitated on line.

For example, there are thousands of free on line classified advert web sites. Merely type ‘free classified ads’ into Google and stand back!

However, classifieds are generally perceived as not being as effective as their off line counterparts. This is because idiots spam these free ads web sites from all over the world merely for a free back link and so many of the ads are irrelevant or not local.

Another form of on line promoting imitated from the ‘real world’ is banner marketing. Business people can pay to have a banner placed on a relevant website in order to advertise their firms. It is equivalent to having a big ad in a newspaper. Regrettably, this form of advertising does not work on line as well as it does off line either. Experts say that surfers expect things for free on line, so their eyes ‘look through’ banner adverts.

So how can you promote your business on line? Well, believe it or not, it by using the very top, up-market off line advertising techniques of having recommendations, reviews and pieces written about the items that you are advertising. This would cost thousands or more in a newspaper, but it is virtually free on line.

The number one best fashion of marketing on line is to compose pieces on or about the topic of your products or company and posting them to article directories with your URL in the byline. This will give you a back link which Google regards very highly in working out your firm’s ranking in their search engine.

How To Get Free Radio Advertising – Part 2

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

Welcome to part two of ‘How To Get Free Radio Advertising’. In part one we investigate how to get in touch with the radio station manager and how to broach the subject of procuring free on-air radio advertising. If you have not yet read it, please look for ‘How To Get Free Radio Advertising – part 1′ on this site.

Doing it this way makes saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ very easy for the manager, because his only decisions are whether he trusts you and whether he can schedule you in or not. If the manager agrees to give your proposal his deliberation, put all your material in a package with a covering letter repeating what you said on the phone, a photo of or a gratis copy of your product and your advertising copy.

Send it off or deliver it immediately. Include a stamped, self addressed envelope, if you want a written reply or your material returned.

If your proposal is rejected, send him a ‘thank you, maybe next time’ note and move on to the next name. If you are rejected frequently, maybe you ought to sweeten your offer a bit by increasing their percentage of the cut or raising the price of the product. You will have to do some research there too, if you do not get it right first time.

Doing business such as this is traditionally done using the phone and the postal service, because radio managers are more often than not hard-pressed for time. However, it would be feasible to do all this over the Internet, except sending samples, of course, if the manager is comfortable using the Internet.

It always surprises me how many people there are out there in business who do not use the Internet very frequently because they do not understand much about it.

You could propose using the Internet for sending your material over but do not be pushy about it, because the manager might be a little embarrassed to admit that he cannot use the Internet. It could also be faxed over, but faxes often come out looking shabby and that might damage your chances. If in doubt, just post it.

If you get a green light to your application, be ready to act quickly, so always have your stuff bundled up and ready to go. Never give them time to forget who you are or ‘go off the boil’.

You will need to have written your advertisements first, but how long should they be? This is a tricky one, so ask the manager in your initial conversation, whether they have an advertising policy or predilection for the length of slots.

It could be thirty seconds a slot or sixty seconds (a double slot). As soon as you know, you can write your ads: two different adverts for each length of slot.

If you want to be completely pre-prepared, you could write two fifteen second, two thirty second and two sixty second ads before you even ring anyone. And do not forget to read them back aloud several times to check them for length. Try procuring a couple of friends to read them back to you too.

The radio station will require you to sign a contract and you should have a simple contract drawn up too showing your payment policy, returns policy, dispatch policy, et cetera, et cetera.

In summary, your P.I. Advertising Package should contain the following: 1. a cover letter 2. a sample or product literature 3. two thirty second and two sixty second adverts 4. your P.I. advertising contract 5. a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

In conclusion, I want to offer a couple of bits of advice. Whilst you are writing your commercials, try to incorporate a catchphrase of some sort so that you can use it in your off-air advertising to remind people that your product has been advertised on-air. Spend a lot of time composing your advert: radio station managers are busy, professional people and they cannot afford to waste valuable air time on non-earners.

If your item sells and makes money for them, you will be welcome back, otherwise you will be ostracized. Put a few ads in the paper and fliers through the doors to pre-warm people to your up-and-coming radio advertising campaign.

How Can You Get Free Radio Advertising? – Part 1

Saturday, November 13th, 2010

Most business owners recognize that advertising is essential to their business. However, despite knowing this, most business owners detest advertising because it is dreadfully expensive. The problem is that if you do not advertise, only your friends and neighbours will ever get to know of you.

For example, in our average sized town of 65,000 inhabitants, there are thirty-eight pages of builders in the Yellow Pages; each page has two columns and each column has forty to fifty names on it.

These small businesses dream of TV and radio advertising like the big companies, but it is just too costly or at least they think that it is. Colossal companies such as Coca Cola and MacDonald’s expend hundreds of millions of dollars on radio and TV advertising, but small business have other, smaller opportunities to advertise locally.

One of these cheaper, sometimes even free, means of advertising on the radio is ‘per inquiry’ or PI Advertising. This is a form of radio advertising that is very advantageous to the advertiser, because advertisers only pay for every inquiry about their advertisement. It is a little like Google’s ‘pay per click’ or ‘PPC’ advertising on web sites.

First of all, you will require a list of all the radio stations in the locale that you are interested in. You can get hold of a list of licensed radio stations at your local library or they can get one in for you.

Then copy out the names of all the stations in your target region. It is usually best to begin with your own region and fan out from there, but if you have a precise target audience, you will have to some investigation first.

Next you should look through your list of radio stations and mark the ones that are of interest. For example, if you are selling skateboards, it is probably not worth advertising on a Classical FM music station.

The next step is to contact the manager of the station or maybe the Advertising Director. Explain your plan to that person in detail. it could go something along the lines of:

“I have a product that research has indicated will sell well in your catchment area if it is advertised on your radio. However, I want to do a test run before committing to any long term advertising plan”.

“I will do all the writing of the commercial and I will do all the book-keeping. I will send the product out and I will handle any complaints and returns quickly and efficiently”.

“You will derive xx% of every sale we make. You take the phone numbers of the inquiries, pass them on to me and I will regard every name you give me as a sale for you. The product I want to sell is a xxxxxxxx, which retails at $xx plus $1 postage and packing”.

This concludes ‘How To Get Free Radio Advertising – part 1′, in the second part, we will be looking at how to secure your free, on-air, radio advertising campaign. Please look for part two on this web site.

Some Unknown Jobs In The Music Industry

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

If you like music a great deal, you may be dreaming of going into some area of the music industry yourself. Doubtlessly, you will have been told that this is awfully difficult and I am not trying to insinuate that it is not, but maybe most people who are trying to get into the music industry are applying for the same jobs.

The list of jobs available in the music industry must include teachers, songwriters, doctors, therapists and many others, not only singers and musicians, so it pays to think laterally if you want to head in this direction, because traffic on the main highway is usually at a stand-still. Anyway, here is a list of other jobs in the music industry and I hope that it is of some help to you.

There are jobs with music and record businesses for staff song-writers, that is, for people who write songs for the artists who are contracted to that label. Find a couple of artists that you respect working for the same label, compose some songs for them and apply.

If you cannot find a solitary label that suits you, you could do the same job as a freelance song-writer. This way you are not restricted and can compose for all the artists that you like.

If you are good with words but not such a great musician, you could become a lyricist. A lyricist may or may not team up with a musician to create a song. Like Gilbert & Sullivan or Rogers & Hammerstein.

Jingle-writers are always in demand, at least decent ones are. Jingles need to be short but catchy. Writing jingles pays good money, but it will perhaps not make you famous outside the music industry.

A music publisher scours the market for freelance songs and buys up the copyright or license to publish those songs or to sell or license them to singers and musicians.

A music editor may work with a composer or song-writer to ensure that the timing and the cues for the musicians and singers are practicable.

Notesetters have to have a decent ear for music as their job is to write down in musical form what untrained musicians play to them. There are many, many modern musicians who cannot write a note of music but who can produce very popular songs. These songs have to be written down by someone and that someone is a notesetter.

A talent scout in the music industry has the official title of Artist & Repertoire Co-ordinator or A&R Co-ordinator for short. A step up from this rank is the A&R Administrator, who co-ordinates the co-ordinators and sets and monitors their budgets – a type of a musical accountant.

Then there are the jobs in public relations. These people usually work for record labels. They promote the artists who have signed onto a record firm’s label. There are quite a few degrees of responsibility in this department.

An agent or an relations representative, is aperson who promotes his client and finds him or her work. They check the contracts and give business advice. They are well-|known as ‘Mr. Ten Percent’ although in practice it is usually double this unless you are famous.

Campus representatives advertise records to students and promotional staffers promote wherever possible – radio stations, stores, musical directors.

Music teachers teach music to groups from pre-school through to college level. Their responsibilities differ with the age of the student and the point of the class.

A music director has the job of supervising policy in school or college or setting the entertainment for a cruise or a holiday camp, hotel or holiday complex.

Then there are organists in churches all over the country, who often double in other musical careers.

Pricey Seo Problems To Steer Clear Of

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

Following Internet guidelines is one way to avoid violating the rules when using SEO marketing.

If you use appropriate blogging techniques and leave messages only on those blogs that are relevant you will avoid this mistake.

Your focus will determine the viability of your site when building links that are quality in nature.

Take time to build a quality site to improve your ratings quickly. To make your ranking soar be sure your content is quality in nature. Using keywords that match your content will show your dedication.

Keep your content on one domain name. There are not many times when it is appropriate to use sub domains or multiple domains as they really aren’t a good idea. Using multiple domain names is often misconstrued as a way to dominate the industry. A better ranking on your main domain is a more complete concept. Of course the benefit of doing this will make you appear better than the competition in the long run giving you a more loyal following.

Don’t focus on meta tags. The obsolescence of meta tags is evident in the search engine ranking methods. The number of incoming links your site has and the optimization you do are important factors. Be sure to focus on your content. Search engine spiders find the content on your page and use keywords to rank your site. Keep your content fresh. By avoiding these SEO mistakes, you will be able to make much better progress with your Internet marketing efforts.
