The Entrepreneurial Tips Blog Begins...

Welcome, it's my first posting to the "Internet Marketing Tips Blog for Jafra Cosmetics ." All blogs start somewhere and if you're reading this post, you are starting with me at the very beginning of this blog.

First, let's clear up why I started this blog. OK?

Well, after publishing articles, composing ebooks and helping entrepreneurs for about 10 years, I've been convinced by my followers, supporters, detractors, foes and even my dog, "Herbie" that I should devote a little time each week blogging about all this weird internet stuff that seems to dominate at least 50% of my brain.

So, here we are, and you're now thinking deeply about two things:

1. What might you learn by following Dan's 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 Skincare, Cosmetics & Fragrances .

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're seeking that 'rubber-meets-the-road' kind of help with your online marketing, this blog will cover 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 Jafra Cosmetics and how to market Skincare, Cosmetics & Fragrances , 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.

Below are a few of the topics I'll cover in the future:

• Opt-in mail list ideas
• The how and why of newsletters
• How to be a great blogger
• Content creation ideas
• Profiting from Adsense or Contextual ads
• Pay-per-click search campaigns
• Tags (the keywords of blogs and...)
• Networking through "social systems"
• Generating internet leads
• Site design (with an eye for revenue)
• Landing or destination pages
• Syndication and feeds
• Creating your own Press Releases
• and Earning revenue from your web strategies

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 Jafra Cosmetics interesting or helpful.

Finally, you may be asking WHY I decided to do a blog specifically for Jafra Cosmetics ? 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 make my living exclusively by helping others make money online. I'm a consultant and internet systems developer. 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.

Everything thing I write here is free. And I do not plan to hold back. I recommend you subscribe to my XML or RSS feed (look for the Feed Frenzy buttons in upper right).

Until the next post... Happy whatever...
