Web marketing ideas for the average JOE or JOSEPHINE

Web marketing ideas for the average JOE or JOSEPHINE

Gather round, it's day one of the great blogging adventures at the "Internet Marketing Tips Blog for Shaklee ." I'll attempt to keep this first post brief, but since it is my introduction of things to come, I'd like to at least lay the ground-work so that you, my visitor, will know what you might expect as we blog on down the road together.

First, why did this all start?

Well, after publishing ebooks, writing articles, and training entrepreneurs for 2000 years (those are dog 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.

Now you're thinking...

1. What the heck will you gain by hanging out at this tips blog?
2. -and- If 50% of Dan Hollings' brain is the internet, is the rest hollow?

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 Nutritional Supplements, Personal Care, Kitchenwares and Air & Water Filtration Systems .

In the beginning all this techno-geek stuff was over my head. Yes, that was about 10 years ago. But now after sucking up internet "how-to" like a vacuum cleaner without an off switch for many years, I've learned a few tricks about making money on the web. I'll cut to the chase and offer you practicle strategies that will increase prospects, customers and visitors to your blogs and sites.

Over the years, I have helped website owners, network marketers, bloggers, internet entrepreneurs, affiliates, and even big companies improve their internet strategies. But what I enjoy most is working with ordinary 'folk'.

We'll be covering 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 Shaklee and how to market Nutritional Supplements, Personal Care, Kitchenwares and Air & Water Filtration Systems , 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 strategies I will cover follow:

• Site design (with an eye for profit)
• Landing pages
• Opt-in list building
• Blogging
• Content creation
• Contextual ads
• Pay-per-click search engines
• Tag-vertising
• Networking through "social systems"
• Lead generation
• 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 Shaklee interesting or helpful.

Finally, you may be asking WHY I decided to do a blog specifically for Shaklee ? 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. 100% of my money is made from helping others (like you) manage a successful online marketing campaign. My style is "go cheap" but hang tight with "quality". Doing a little, very consistently over a long period of time is my modus operandi. I'm a teacher first and a web developer and entrepreneur second (close second!). 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.

All my blog tips are free. I suggest you subscribe to RSS feed (look for the Feed buttons in upper right).

Thanks again for stopping by!
