Benefits of a business blog

July 30th, 2008

I suppose if you sell something on your blog it becomes a business blog. In fact, the difference between blatant selling and subtle suggestion is very thin. A good business blog would not really sell products and services but creatively induce viewers to taste their offering.

Update your blog regularly. Be truthful and write only about what services you offer. Have great photos about your products which will attract customers to your site. Retaining clients depends upon how honest you are and how good your service is.

Having a successful blog can: boost your web traffic, build trust with prospects and clients, increase the size of your email list and make money online.
Say for example if you are a travel agent then you can have a blog on places to visit and have links to similar sites and blog posts which offer these services. This way you can boost traffic to your blog post and make money through it as well as improve your business. Make sure that your business blog looks professional and your logo is there on the front page.

A blog is a frequently updated mini-website with special features that makes it easy for readers to comment.  All the readers have to do is click on the “comment” link, type in their response, and click “post”…what a great way to hear from your potential clients.

It also organizes each short post you write into categories, providing a ‘content management system’ so you can easily group all your posts and articles, by sub-topics. Stick to your business plan and focus only on attracting prospective clients. Also remember to update your blog regularly and keep offering freebies for early birds and promotional campaigns improving readers participation.

Sending newsletters through Emails inviting them to visit your blog is one way of ensuring traffic to your blog. Another method is to write an Ebook and link it to your blog. The Ebook can contain all the information about your business and your blog can update on the information. Once you have your book listed on Amazon it’ll create publicity.

This has the ability to reach your customers and boost your business quicker than traditional PR means or even email.

What is Pay Per Call?

July 22nd, 2008

Sales happen not because customers look at your online advertisement but because they talk to you. In other words, the sales process is consummated when customers actually buy your products and services. Pay per call, is for those small businesses that yet do not have the online infrastructure required to manage transactions online. Pay per call is also highly effective since customers are on the other side of a call compared to pay per click where the customer remains anonymous. It is suitable for local service providers, though the geographical coverage can be negotiated from a one mile radius to national coverage.

While signing up for Pay per Call, advertisers can indicate the category under which they would be covered. It works exactly like yellow pages in which one can advertise under several categories. A text based advertisement is created for them which can be tracked and monitored for performance. Pay per call is modeled more on advertising lines unlike click to call. Here, the difference is the tie-up with search distribution sites.

Many small businesses are early adopters of pay per call. It is easy to understand and the advertising expenses can be directly tied to the sales. The advertising budget can therefore be realistically prepared as against traditional advertising methods. Keywords can be managed exactly like choosing business categories in yellow pages, making it a simple process to grasp and implement.

Pay per call has significantly impacted advertising spends of service based businesses interested in generating local sales. Transforming calls to actual sales is far easier while talking to a customer. The technology for creating an online advertising interface with customer calls is evolving at a rapid rate. Pay per call is billed to be a popular advertisement option in the future.

Pay Per Click Strategies

July 22nd, 2008

Pay per click has taken the advertising world by storm and for a good reason. Unlike other forms of advertising where you are almost blind as to the people who look at your wares, here you can attract genuine customers. And you pay only when someone clicks on your advertisement. But how to manage pay per click is an art which needs to be mastered.

A pay per click ad must have an attractive and relevant title and description which must immediately attract visitors. Do some spadework and research that can be really helpful to find the right words for your specific business. You must remember that you will ultimately be paying for the clicks. Getting only relevant and focused audience to click on you is important.

In pay per click you have to initially bid on the keywords. Here again there is a huge opportunity to make yourself more visible and relevant. The more popular a keyword, more it costs. For example for an automotive advertiser, autos may be the most relevant word. But this keyword may be costly. You must consider  a combination of keywords, for example: Miami BMW, Used Autos for sale, etc.

One has to balance the needs of high visibility keywords and the ad spends attached to them.  Your target is the right customer not anyone and everyone searching for a keyword.
