Internet marketing tips for your online business

Internet marketing tips for your online business

Welcome, it's my first posting to the "Internet Marketing Tips Blog for Your franchise ." 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 composing articles, training entrepreneurs, and writing eBooks for longer than I can remember , 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 Your franchise product or service .

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'.

I'll be blogging 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 Your franchise and how to market Your franchise product or service , 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 Your franchise interesting or helpful.

Finally, you may be asking WHY I decided to do a blog specifically for Your franchise ? 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.

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?
