Internet Marketing Tips - Are You Bailing Out This Summer?

By Derik | June 29, 2008

It amazes me the attitude that so many Internet marketers have. Summer hits and they hit the beach. I ask them why and they all give me the same answer. There’s no business during the summer. Nobody’s at their computer and there’s nobody to sell to. And then they take off and come back in September. Well, I’m here to tell you that this couldn’t be farther from the truth, and I’m going to explain why. After you are done reading this article, you are going to want to hang around this summer and get your money’s worth.

Best way to show you that the summer is a great time to promote your business is with some facts. In my five plus years of marketing online, the summer has been in the top 30% of my income earning months consistently.. One year, the month of August was my best month of the whole year. Yes, even I was a little surprised. But facts are facts, the money was there because the opportunity was there. But why? Why is it that summer isn’t as bad as people make it out to be?

The answer is because the prophesy is a self fulfilling one. See, when marketers believe that the summer is a bad time to market and just a waste of time, and ultimately run off to do heaven knows what, they leave the field open for the rest of us. Since there are fewer marketers competing with us, the prospects who are online during the summer are easier to reach. So while maybe there aren’t as many people to promote to, because of the fact that there is less competition, we can actually make more sales. Does this make sense to you?

Believe what you like, but the Internet does not die come June 21. The world goes on. There are still people out there to reach. Maybe not as many, but with half the Internet marketing population taking a powder, it really does leave the field open for us. So what I do is market even more than normal. I go all out to get my share of the marketplace. The result? I have summers that are very profitable.

And you can too…if you just hang in there.

To YOUR Success,

Steven Wagenheim

Get Website Traffic at Yahoo! Answers

By Derik | May 7, 2008

Website Magazine : Get Website Traffic at Yahoo! Answers

Perhaps the most frequently asked question by “newbies” of the “experts” at forums for Web professionals is “how do I get more traffic?” As you can imagine, the standard replies of “SEO”, “Google” and the random spammy link drop make their way into the replies. So what’s the real answer? You should know by now that there are many ways to generate traffic to your website. One we’ll look at today is Yahoo! Answers and it’s ability to send traffic to Web properties.

A few days ago, Matt McGee of Small Business SEM cited some interesting figures for growth at Yahoo! Answers. The number of users and answers in the U.S. and worldwide has grown considerably since August 2007 (four million new users in the U.S. over a 7-month period, and 40 million new users worldwide - 77 million new answers in the U.S. over teh same period, and 150 million new answers worldwide), perhaps signaling the availability of an excellent opportunity to promote ourselves and our products, build a brand and make a few friends along the way.

So does participating in Yahoo! Answers work? Based on my own experiment, I would have to say the answer is yes. Take a look at the chart below. I answered roughly twenty questions in the past week which resulted in one best answer (yeah for me!) and a handful (four conversions) for Website Magazine (subscriptions). What was impressive about the miniscule amount of traffic is that it is actually real people - the average time on site was just over three minutes. In addition, the bounce rate was about 59% percent - not the best I’ve seen but certainly better than many traffic sources touted across the Web.

Some Best Practices For Using Yahoo! Answers To Drive Traffic

Save time - subscribe to relevant feeds: Those that have little time to participate will enjoy the fact that Yahoo! has provide RSS feeds. I subscribed to four different feeds relevant to my own personal knowledge base. I subscribed to that feed and I would periodically check the new answers throughout the day. This enabled me to sort through those that I could answer and those that I could not.

Provide meaningful answers: Contrary to the belief of many - you can not fake it till you make it. Providing meaningful answers to the questions proposed by other members will get you closer to securing some “best answer” commendations’ (which boosts your exposure) and helps you establish yourself as someone who know what the heck they are talking about - not one that simply drops the same URL repeatedly to questions that are not relevant (which could get you banned).

Be “liberal” in the use of URL drops: It’s not a good idea to post a link to your site, but it’s not a bad idea either. Fortunately, there is a spot for it - although it’s a “nofollow” link. Yahoo! has provide a “source” section which should be used. If you are sourcing other information, include it in the body of your answer - those that watch for new incoming links will appreciate it immensely and you’ll find that your “friend” counts go up as a result.
