Internet marketing tips for the average JOE or JOSEPHINE

Internet marketing tips for the average JOE or JOSEPHINE

Perhaps you stumbled upon this site by accident? Perhaps a friend recommended it? Whatever the case, you've just discovered the "Internet Marketing Tips Blog for Gold Canyon Candles ." Since this is my first post, I'd like to lay the foundation for what one should expect as I blog away on the various topics listed further down the page.

First, why did this all start?

Well, after publishing ebooks, writing articles, and training entrepreneurs for 2000 years (those are dog years) , my supporters, followers, frieds, enemies and even my pooch, "Herbie" have been biting on my tail so long that I've finally decided to invest the time required (each week) posting helpful tips on all this strange and ever changing internet stuff that continues to possess about HALF of my brain.

So, here we are, and you're now wondering about 2 things:

1. Exactly what will you gain by following my internet marketing tips blog?
2. -and- What exactly dominates the other 50% of Dan Hollings' brain?

I might can help you on the first item, but even I am a bit foggy on what dominates that other 50% on my brain :-) So let's focus on marketing ideas to help you promote Candles & Candle Accessories .

I started out not knowing any of this "internet marketing" stuff. Yes, that was over 9 years ago. But today after hiding under the table at several top marketing firms (just kidding) , I've climbed out with a trick or two in hand. On this blog I'll strive to get to the point and offering you hands-on techniques and ideas that are proven to increase customers, prospects, and visitors to your internet sites.

In reality, I have helped internet entrepreneurs, website owners, MLM'ers, bloggers, affiliates, and even big companies over the years to improve their internet strategies. But what I enjoy most is working with the small business entrepreneur. Is that you?

If you decide to hang with me here, I'll be writing, training, and yapping about anything and everything, as long as it works. It is likely that you are doing some things wrong or inefficiently and if you are like most, you're spending far more money than you should on 'stuff' that has questionable results.

Even though this particular blog will focus on strategies for Gold Canyon Candles and how to market Candles & Candle Accessories , I may from time-to-time give examples from other industries or areas to demonstrate a strategy or idea. It's your job to apply the concepts to YOUR particular site, blog, product or service.

A preview of the type lessons I will cover include ideas related to:

• Blogging
• Content creation
• Contextual ads
• Pay-per-click search engines
• Tag-vertising
• Networking through "social systems"
• Lead generation
• Site design (with an eye for profit)
• Landing pages
• Opt-in list building
• Newsletters
• RSS feeds (the why and how)
• Press Releases
• and Making Money on the Web

In addition, I've written a few 'how-to' articles specifically to help get your internet marketing strategy on-track. You might find these internet marketing articles for Gold Canyon Candles interesting or helpful.

Finally, you may be asking WHY I decided to do a blog specifically for Gold Canyon Candles ? The truth is, I run separate blogs for many types of of entrepreneurs. This is only one of my blogs!

Rest assured I am not a recruiter, I'm not active in any 'company', and I do not sell or share names on any of my opt-in lists. I'm a marketing consultant, a web systems developer, a programmer and a regular guy. All my money comes from helping others create a successful online marketing campaign and clearing the way for profitable results. Occasionally I offer classes, sometimes I offer eBooks, and I have web systems that many subscribers use to improve their traffic, content and results online. That's the deal.

I'm not sure how often I'll be posting, but my goal is to add tips weekly (maybe more often). Grab our FEED (RSS) and recommend us to your friends. I'll do everything I can to make it "profitable" for all of us.

OK?
