vMail Marketing for your Networking Business

Vmail (video email) marketing will work for virtually any business, no matter how big or small. It can be used to attract more customers, increase brand awareness and to make more sales.

When it comes to running an effective vmail marketing campaign there are few basic rules you should follow:

• Before you begin any vmail marketing campaign make sure that you are compliant with the CAN-SPAM laws. You can find them at: http://www.business.ftc.gov
  


• Never send unsolicited e mail (spam) – always make sure that your recipients have opted in to receive your vmail messages.


• Give your readers a clear options for managing their subscription and unsubscribing.

The most important part of any vmail marketing campaign is building a responsive mailing list. This list is a collection of email addresses from people in your ideal target market, people that are asking you to send them information and offers by vmail. Many online marketers make all of their income just by sending vmail messages to their opt-in lists.

Imagine how great it must feel to send out a vmail and in an hour or two have your inbox full of new affiliates. It is very possible, especially when you take the time to employ basic email marketing and list building strategies.

When it comes to building your own list the first thing you should do if you want people to give you their email address is to make it very easy for them. If you have a website or blog add a subscription form to all of the main pages. Make it highly visible and offer your visitors something of real value in exchange for joining your list.

If you don’t have a website or blog you may want to consider setting one up just for your list building campaign, especially if you want to build a big list. If setting up a site isn’t for you there are other methods that you can use, you will just have to get more creative when it comes to collecting email address.

Above all else keep it simple! Keep in mind that people are busy and easily sidetracked, which means you don’t want to make them giving you their email address something that they have to think too much about or work too hard to do. The general rule is, the easier you make it the more email addresses you will collect!

If you have an existing customer base make it a top priority to get an email address from everyone that makes a purchase from you. Whether it’s during the sales process or after the purchase of one of your products make sure that you ask your customers for their email address. The optimum time to do this is before the purchase is completed because they will think it is part of the process.

It is very important to always remember that your customer must give you permission to send them promotional vmails. Asking them for an email address as part of the sales process does not give you permission to add them to any other mailing list or bombard them with promotional vmails. That can lead to spam complaints and you don’t want that. What it does do is give you the opportunity to follow up with them, ask how they liked the product or service and then entice them to join your regular mailing list.

There are many ways that you can entice people to join your mailing list.

Here are a few quick ideas that you can use:

• Give them a free gift or a discount on their next purchase when they subscribe.


• Send them to a webpage where they can download a free ebook, report or software related to the product they purchased.


• Give them a chance to win a prize, by holding a free contest or sweepstakes for subscribers only


• Offer them free customer support and vmail consulting.


• Have them fill out a survey and give them a free gift as an incentive to complete the form.

There are many ways that you can entice people to join your mailing list and by focusing on these core strategies you will be well on your way to building a responsive list for your business. The simple fact is that vmail marketing is essential for any business. Once you have a list, and begin building a relationship with your subscribers they will have more confidence in you and your business. Just make sure that you provide them with information that they will find helpful and beneficial.

Attitude and Influence

A big share of our life is going to be shaped by attitude and by influence. Also the people around us. Good questions to ask yourself:  ”Who am I around?  And what are they doing to me?  And is that okay?”  Those are three major questions.  Who am I around?  What are they doing to me?  And is that okay?  Next, “What do they have me reading?  Where have they got me going?  What have they got me doing? Those people I’m around.  How have they got me thinking and behaving?”  That’s a good, mature analysis.  Who am I around and what are they doing to me?  And is that okay?  And if it’s okay, fine; if it isn’t okay, change it. You must.

Association can make all the difference in the world in your future.  We have to practice limited association.  Some people you can be around a few hours, but not a few days.   And some people you can be around a few minutes, but not a few hours.  And then some people you have to walk away from.

And it’s helpful if somebody comes along and helps in a moment of stress and distress and offers a book or offers some advice and that person just says, “I’ll be here when you need me.” Sometimes you don’t need somebody to come live with you or be right there to hold your hand.  But as long as you know that person is available, if it gets a little tougher, call, things like that.  That’s very valuable.  And if you have some good friends, you know that they’ll be there.

Social network marketing is an extremely powerful tactic that can literally put you and your business in front of hundreds of thousands of targeted, engaged consumers faster than any other advertising media available. It can help you connect and build long- term customer and business relationships that would not have been as easily attainable a few short years ago.

These tools can provide you with a wide variety of options, including the ability to add friends to your account automatically, get likes for your page faster and even run contests to create buzz for your business.

Did you know that there are more 5.6 billion mobile phone users on the planet today and the majority of them have some type of Facebook or social media application on their smart phones?

Facebook filters make it easy for businesses to connect with people around the world or in their own local area with the simple tic of a box. This filtering makes it possible for business owners to reach certain demographics of people at certain times with a specifically targeted marketing message. Making it possible for businesses to target their market in a whole new way.

Twitter is another great platform for social network marketing. Even though you are limited to 140 characters per message savvy marketers have found a way to utilize Twitter for their own personal gains. One of the main ways that marketers take advantage of Twitter is by targeting their messages with specific keywords. Google loves Twitter, so by crafting the message properly they can be assured that their message will show up in the Google search results.

Just like Facebook there are wide variety of tools and applications that can be used to enhance Twitter marketing campaigns. These apps can do everything from automatically add followers to your account, set up automated Tweets, send out messages or add twitter feeds to your websites and Facebook pages, allowing you to post across a variety of platforms at the same time.

But, Facebook and Twitter aren’t the only game in town when it comes to marketing your business on social networks. Just do a simple search online for popular social networks and you will find a multitude of other options including LinkedIn, Google +, LiveJournal and more.

There is no doubt that the power of social networking marketing is changing the way that people do business online or that it can be harnessed by any business that savvy enough to take full advantage of everything that these massive networks have to offer.

PPC for you MLM

In the last post we talked about using link building as an online traffic tactic. In this issue we are going to talk about pay per click advertising and how this powerful online marketing tactic can benefit your business.

Pay per click (PPC) is a paid advertising method that is used to target consumers and direct traffic to websites, products and services. Advertisers pay the publisher a certain amount of money every time the ad is clicked on by one of their visitors.

How it works:

- Advertisers (in this case you) bid on keywords and phrases that are relevant to their target market.

- Publishers (website owners) show the ads on their websites via pay per click search engines, like Google Adwords.

When it comes to a fast return on your investment, pay per click advertising can generate almost immediate traffic to your website and help increase your profits very quickly when you utilized properly.

Pay per click or pay per view ads can be used to effectively drive traffic to your website or to directly promote your products and services. As with any other online marketing tactic, pay per click advertising has a bit of a learning curve and is not for the faint of heart.

- If you don’t know what you’re doing you can spend a lot of money with little or no result.

- On the other hand, if you do know what you’re doing and you run your campaigns effectively, you can start seeing your profit margin increase substantially in a very short amount of time.

While there are several places that you can run your pay per click advertising campaigns Google Adwords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and most recently most recently Facebook Ads are among the most popular places to start a campaign.

When it comes to launching a successful PPC campaign there are three main components involved:

- Relevant content

- Keyword selection

- Campaign monitoring

The goal of any pay per click campaign is to introduce targeted consumers to your products and services. The content of your ad copy is an extremely important part of this process. You need to make sure that it is relevant to your market, enticing and encourages them to take action and click on your ad.

Keyword selection is critical. Consumers conduct online searches using specific keywords to find what they are looking for. Your ads will show alongside the search results as well as on webpages according to the keywords you’ve chosen. The better your keywords are targeted to those consumers the more successful your PPC campaign will be.

You will want to make sure that you closely monitor your PPC campaigns, so that you can track successful ads and eliminate poor performing ad copy and keywords. Pay per click networks include powerful tracking software that will help you monitor every aspect of your campaign. This can help you evaluate each ad individually and effectively increase your return on investment (ROI).

When it comes to running a PPC campaign you can either choose to do the work yourself or you can hire a PPC specialist get the job done for you. Companies that specialize in PPC management and search engine marketing are fairly easy to find. Just do a search online and you will presented with a wide variety of options. Look for companies that are both certified and reputable. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and check their references.

Before you decide to hire a PPC specialist you will want to make sure you have a basic understanding of what they can do for you, how much you are willing to invest and whether or not they guarantee you will see results for your investment.

Whether you choose to run your PPC campaigns yourself or hire a specialist, PPC marketing can be an excellent way to start seeing traffic and profits for your network marketing business in a very short amount of time.

A Professional

(by Judge Elbert Tuttle)

The professional is in essence one who provides service. But the service the render is something more than that of the laborer, even the skilled laborer. It is a service that wells up from the entire complex of their personality. True, some specialized and highly developed techniques may be included, but their mode of expression is given its deepest meaning by the personality of the practitioner. In a very real sense their professional service cannot be separate from their personal being. They have no goods to sell, no land to till. Their only asset is themselves. It turns out that there is no right price for service, for what is a share of a persons worth? If they do not contain the quality of integrity, they are worthless. If they do, they are priceless. The value is either nothing or it is infinite.

So do not try to set a price on yourselves. Do not measure out your professional services on an apothecaries’ scale and say “Only this for so much.” Do not debase yourselves by equating your souls to what they will bring on the market. Do not be a miser, hoarding your talents and abilities and knowledge, either among yourselves or in your dealings with your clients…

Rather be reckless and spendthrift, pouring out your talent to all whom it can be out of service! Throw it away, waste it, and in the spending it will be increased. Do not keep a watchful eye lest you slip and give away a little bit of what you might have sold. Do not censor your thoughts to gain a wider audience. Like love, talent is only useful in its expenditure, and it is never exhausted. Certain it is that man must eat; so set what price you must on your service. But never confuse the performance, which is great, with the compensation, be it money, power, or fame, which is trivial.

…The job is there, you will see it, and your strength is such, as you graduate… that you need not consider what the task will cost you. It is not enough that you do your duty. The richness of life lies in the performance which is above and beyond the call of duty.
