3 Methods To Supercharge Your Website Promotion
In this article I'm going to share 3 different ways to move forward with promoting your website so you can increase your traffic and your sales. Article Marketing The first method is writing articles that are on topic or related to the material on your website or product / service you're promoting. A couple of things to remember are first making sure your material is original. Second never assume that you don't have anything of value to add to the topic. There are thousands and thousands of hungry marketers who are trying to learn the very techniques that you may already be familiar with and finally be sure to write up an author bio which has a link to the website you’re promoting. Many of the article directories allow you to set up multiple author bios which come in handy if you have several sites that are focused on different topics. Social Networking / Bookmarking Next we’ll look at social networking. If you’ve been on the web for any length of time then you’re probably already familiar with Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. There are countless social networking sites on the web but the three just mentioned are extremely popular. You will want to go to each of these sites and setup an account. Once this is done you provide a little information about yourself and the website you’re promoting. Another good practice is to post daily to these sites. It does not always have to about your product or your site. You might want to just find some info related to your market or product and post that information for your audience to read. The key thing to remember about social networking is that it provides you with a nearly instant audience unlike email marketing in which it takes a little time to build a list of readers. As a website promotion method social networking is priceless. Video Creation and Submission The final method of website promotion is video creation and submission. With the power of YouTube should come as a great shock that videos can be a powerful way to convey your message to the web and more specifically to potential readers, subscribers and buyers…you get the point. Since YouTube hit the scene the web has exploded with places to post your marketing videos. The short list would include Viddler, Veoh, DailyMotion, Sclipo and Metacafe. Making your video can really be simple process. First come up with a short message that communicates a problem, a solution, and where that solution [your site or product] can be found. Next, put together a short power point presentation with your link included. Now you’ll want to record the Power Point presentation with a program that has screen capture capabilities. If you’re looking for a great little program to create your videos then Camtasia is a winner. On the other hand there are cheaper ways. Here are three free tools. The first is called Jing and it’s made by the same people who created Camtasia. The next two are Animoto and Google Search Stories . After you setup an account with Animoto you can create a free 30 second video with graphics and text. Google Search Stories can be found at YouTube and is a great way to create a storyline with music. The other big plus is Google Search Stories will allow you to upload your new video to YouTube, Twitter and Facebook and MySpace. Regardless of the service you use to create your video you’ll want to upload it to as many of the video sites as you can. There is a service called Heyspread that for a small fee will submit your video to the top 13 video sites on the web.
