Reason Why You Will Probably Fail Online

When talking about simply and quickly setting up an online business, what are the biggest things that stand in the way of getting this done?  One thing is realizing the need to have this as the primary goal in the first place…To get started simply and quickly….  Another one goes back to the holy grail.. the subject of Traffic. If you are looking to set up an online business so that you can make money to transform your life and the lives of your loved ones, Have you made the decision that you are going to do it using free traffic strategies? Why do people choose free traffic over paid?

If You had an uncle who was going to bank roll your marketing. He was going to finance your traffic for you. He was going to buy you all the traffic that you needed to get your business up and rolling,  would you take him up on his offer or would you say No thanks, I would rather go with free traffic. Firstly why do you like free traffic? Ask yourself, why do I like free traffic? I have asked myself that question. Why did I like free traffic?  I think part of it was the desire to become a writer. I think many of us in the internet marketing space like the idea of creating content and making money from it. We like the idea of writing an article or making a video,  publishing it and getting rich from it….Sexy ! When I went to College, I attended a small liberal arts school, Lawrence University in Appleton Wis. It is a small college but a rich college. It use to be called by some the Harvard of the mid-west. Many of the student who attended there had a dream of becoming writers. This was something they considered mainly because they came from a world where their parents and neighbors actually were writers.

They came from the world of the educated elite. The world of Professorships and elite schools. One of my friends whom I sometimes hung out with was Michael Updike the son of John Updike. Anyone who knows anything about American literary writers knows that John Updike is a legend and a giant. I came from the South side of Chicago….. During my years in college, I never had a dream of becoming a writer but many of my College friends did. Many of them wore the professor like clothes and actually smoked pipes at different times, projecting out the image of their dreams. It is an interesting thing to watch a nineteen year old holding an academic conversation while smoking a pipe . I did not know at the time or had really considered it, but they had a desire to create wealth. To become millionaires by writing out the thoughts and ideas that were in their heads… To create wealth from our minds, thoughts and  ideas is a beautiful thing. I believe many, of the people who start a blog, have this desire. A desire to bless the world with the beauty and the power of their ideas and thoughts. To release something new into the world that will add value to it. And to get rich doing it. I did not come from a world where my dad or my friend’s dad or a neighbor down my street was a writer. Like I said, I came from the South side of Chicago. So at the time, the idea of becoming a writer and of making money from it was not something that I had ever considered, even though I had been a writer on my high school’s newspaper. I once wrote an article for the school  paper.  A comic piece about a blind date with a girl named Big Bertha. I had people hollering at me in the halls reciting back to me different lines from the article that was particularly funny to them. I received in fact a tiny bit of popularity in my school, at that time as a writer, yet I never thought at all of what it might be like to become someone who wrote out the ideas in their head to become a millionaire from it. But, I say all of that to say this, I believe that the desire to make money from writing or even something like doing videos, is one reason why someone might choose free marketing over paid marketing. Because the very things that make up free marketing strategies are also the things that are a basic part of what it means to distribute content and be a publisher/writer online. But what is the motivation of someone taking pictures of money and posting it on Facebook in an effort to recruit a down line or to make a sale. I think that his only motivation has to be simply to recruit a down line or to make a sale. That person is only trying to have a business….. He is endeavoring to make money…..

The person who is spending his time link building or social media marketing or using SEO and keyword searches to rank on Google, guest blogging, article marketing, posting comments, building PBN’s, spinning content, what is the reasons behind all of theses different activities? I can only think of two reasons that a person would do these things. One, it is to rank in the search engines to get traffic back to a website because that individual desires to be a publisher, a successful writer, who creates quality content that also creates for him wealth. The other has a desire to get traffic back to a website, so that he can primarily make money… It’s business! Now, for those who desire to become writer-publishers, like I said, I can understand why they would use the Free traffic methods. They are creating an entity, a website on the internet. And web search is the fundamental way that you publish. It is how your message expands in the online world. But why would someone whose main purpose for being online is to have a business and to make money, why would they engage in free marketing strategies.There is one other reason I just thought of, it is because they like it. Seo, link building, ranking sites, this is fun for a lot of people. And some know how to do it with a degree of success.      And a very tiny fraction, with million dollar success.And I understand that…. Be happy…… do what you like……. and make money doing it.

Samsung has hit hard earlier this year with Galaxy S6 and S6 with its Galaxy Edge, Galaxy S6 active is now finally official. However, Samsung Galaxy S7 is still not official, but just rumours.

How Unethical SEO Service Providers Bad-Name Professional SEO

I remember back in 2009 when I was learning Search Engine Optimization, our trainer said that SEO has already started to become a field that everyone thinks he/she can do it. Just like we used to have so many (self-proclaimed) web/graphics designers, now you can see hundreds; even thousands of individuals claiming that they know SEO better than experts out there.I do not have any problem with that. Not as long as these SEO spammers do not bad-name and rob SEO clients. I can list a number of reasons why Search Engine Optimization is not for everyone. And believe me, I can prove it.

1. Starting From The Basics, They Don’t Have Any Base

That’s right. The majority of these SEO gurus have not ‘learned’ Search Engine Optimization the proper way. In fact, they have just ‘studied’ it as a topic and they got this crazy idea that anyone can do it. Of course SEO is not that hard or confusing that only selected people can do, but the key point here is to study and learn things the right way; from the basics.

Simply by reading couple of articles on the Internet and participating in couple of Internet Marketing blogs or forums can not make anyone a SEO specialist or a guru at all.

2. False Guarantees, Short-Term SEO Results, Spammy Techniques And Other Lies

When these low profile SEO’s have no clue about how to compile an SEO strategy or how to execute website optimization process, they will do what is obvious—they will mess things up for their clients; bit time. And that’s not all what they do. They lie almost about everything to their clients. They lie about ranking techniques they will be using, they lie about the results a client is expecting to see, they even lie about ranking their websites in a short span of time. Now ethically it is very wrong to misguide and make false commitments with clients for the results they will never see; at least not soon enough.

If I like Google even a little, it’s because of their constant search engine algorithm updates. Such updates have made it easy to track shady and spam SEO practices. Of course spammers can get short-term SEO results and rankings in Google using various Black Hat optimization techniques, but eventually they will be tracked and penalized by the big old G (Google).

How These People Negatively Affect To Authentic And Professional SEO Community

Just like in any other profession or business, people with unethical practices also bring in doubt the good ones. Same thing happens when clients are approached by legitimate SEO service providers. The businesses are more concerned about their online business and they are extra careful in selecting the right SEO company for their website marketing project.

But fortunately there are authentic ways an ethical SEO company can prove to be the right provider for the client. Most businesses ask for references and past SEO projects a company or a service provider has worked on. This minimizes the risk of becoming a victim of any shady search optimization company and it results in client satisfaction as well as winning the project.

What You Need To Do (As A Professional SEO Specialist)

Stay firm. Don’t let these spammers walk on your line. Keep learning and moving forward with latest SEO trends and marketing techniques. I can tell you one thing that identifying a fake SEO is very easy in today’s world as you can instantly tell by the way they talk about SEO and link building techniques. So be happy that you are different and far better than them.

As far as SEO projects and clients are concerned, the business community is now also mature enough to trace if they are being conned or scammed by a fake SEO service provider. Eventually you will see improved number of clients as long as your SEO techniques are not shady and obsolete.

To those who are new to the Internet Marketing world and want to learn things the proper way, there are lots of free and trusted resources out there and you can definitely learn a lot from these sites. Sites like WarriorForum and WickedFire should be your top learning platform when it comes to learning SEO.

Keep It Real

This is yet another essential aspect of running an online business successfully. Do everything ethically and by the rules. Developing trust of customers is vital and it pays well in the long run. Stay legit and professional. Just because you are a new business should not mean that you will not attract customers successfully. Yes, it requires very hard work in the beginning to find customers but it is possible. Never give up hope and strive on offering quality to your customers.
Remember, this is just a single aspect of starting an online business from scratch. There are many other metrics you should consider before launching your online venture. Things like, business name, domain, trademarks, policies and etc. are just a few of them. So it would be better to do your research from the ‘legal side’ as well. Just stay away from using trademarked business names and domain names, and always use original and unique content for your website and marketing campaigns.

Having a successful online business not only gives you piece of mind but it also has so many additional opportunities to dive into. Like I mentioned above that you can simply start anything, an eCommerce store, mobile application development company, search engine marketing agency, become a professional writer, proofreader, and the list goes on and on.Stay focused and firm. Do not hard work stop you from achieving your goals.

Writing Professional Website Copy Content

From the perspective of sales and business, it is important to present your website content in a distinguished way to your visitors. Remember, after seeing your website, it is your content that can either attract or irritate your visitors, and you don’t want to do the latter one; right!
Following are few key factors that every online business owner must adhere to while writing website content:

– Do Not Sell Directly

The first thing you do not want from your website is to wear-off your visitors by throwing your products or services directly on their faces. It is a fact that no one likes to be sold to. Don’t you hate salesmen when they knock at your door to sell you a vacuum cleaner? So play by the visitors’ rules and provide them a platform (your website) where they can comfortably browse things they are looking for.

– Show Customers How You Value Them

The most important thing is that customers are attracted towards the value they will receive from a certain business; in the service they receive from them. So use your website content to ensure your potential customers that you are one of the best solution providers and that you guarantee professional services or quality products.

You can do that in a variety of ways using your site content. Show them your skills, share personal experience of your projects you have recently done, add positive testimonials and reviews of your previous customers on your site, offer discounts and competitive pricing and etc. To simplify the above-mentioned, you can write blog about your business so that your audience can stay up-to-date about your business.

It may feel a tricky part if you are starting a business from scratch, but never compromise on quality factors. Starting a website business is typical but not that hard, so always focus on providing quality services to your audience and ensure them your reputability.

– Communicate With Your Audience

Engage them in your content in a way that they find it interesting to read. Tell them about your company and services/products you have and how these can be used for their benefit. Ask for their suggestions on how you can improve your website and services.It is crucial to have an option where you and your customers can communicate. It would minimize the gap between the buyer and the seller and would also answer various questions of the customer upfront.

How To Represent Your Internet-Based Business

When you are done researching about how to get started, then would be the time to move on to another important factor. And it is how you should present your business to your target audience.

1. Having A Beautiful Website

It is crucial to have an attractive and user-friendly website to receive attention from your target audience. Many business owners neglect this part in their online marketing strategy and they later face losses or low return on investment (ROI) from their online venture. Remember, your website is the first thing that visitors will see and it should have all the important features to offer a friendly visitor experience to your audience.

So how can you get a website with a good-looking design and how do you know if it is best for the business you are going start.

Normally there are ways you can identify how to go about when it comes to having a business website designed. The first thing to get started is to see other websites in similar businesses. See how their sites are designed and what features these sites are using. Explore how the site is presenting the information and how it engages with its audience. You can do these simply by using following websites:

1. Archive: You can see the history of websites and when the site was first launched and when it was redesigned. This will help you to observe what the site used to look before and what changes the new site has.

2. Alexa: See what traffic rank the sites have . AlexaRank of less than 100,000 is considered a good traffic rank and it defines that the site has probably thousands of visitors a month. Results may vary though from site to site. This is only to get the basic idea of how much traffic the site receives.

3. Google Mobile-Friendly Test: Having a mobile-friendly (or responsive) website is important these days as the majority of traffic now comes through mobile and other portable devices. This online tool will tell you whether the site has mobile-friendly layout or not.

4. Website Speed Test: Check load times of sites and how long they take to load properly. You can also use this tool to test your own website. A good load time is somewhere from 3-5 seconds. So make sure your web pages are not heavily crafted.

5. Content and Code Ratio Tool: Although this tool is somewhat necessary for SEO testing, but I am mentioning it here also. The tool lets you know the ratio of your on-page content and the actual code behind the page(HTML/backend coding.) It will also tell you what ratio is good for content and code.
