Organic Marketing Solutions
What does organic mean when you are talking about internet
marketing, or marketing your home based business online? Simply put it
means not paying for it. Whether you are talking about advertising or
traffic, or the consumer that clicks on the buy now button, if you got it free
it's organic.
As in regular life, where organic is considered healthier and
better for you, organic in business marketing has a certain amount of clout.
If you can accomplish what you set out to do organically then obviously you have
more money in your pocket when the day is done.
For many of us just starting out organic is a necessary
alternative. Most of us don't have money to fork out on something we don't
know will work. So if you are
building
on a budget looking at ways to build your home based business on the
internet organically has its benefits.
Marketing on a Budget

Blog, blog, blog! Blogging is probably one of the most
fun ways to market your business, opportunity, or cause. Why is that?
Because you can be you. As a matter of fact the more you you are the
better, because people buy from people. You have the flexibility to
create a blog that truly reflects who you are and what you stand for.
You can put pictures, slide shows, videos, graphs - you name it. Your
blog is yours. For a quick video to get you start on one of the

Article Marketing requires knowledge of your subject.
The better your information the more reads you'll get. People are out
there looking for answers, looking for creativity, fresh ideas, something
they haven't heard before. Reach expert status in article marketing
and you've got traffic and a badge that says "I'm an expert in my field."
Here's my badge:

Press Releases are incredible the way they get you traffic
forever it seems. It can be tough writing as you have to write about
yourself in the third person, and some people may have difficulty tooting
their own horn. But Google loves a good press release and they stay
out in cyber space forever. I still get people signing up on my list
from a press release I wrote months ago. Take the time, sit down and
write a press release. There are free options that work. That's
what I did. If you want to invest a few dollars the pay-off will be
bigger.
-
Forums are more social in nature. Find one that is
popular and gets a lot of participation. Watch for awhile and get a
feel for the different topics, and if you are moved to reply, do so.
Make sure your experience is personal and you know what you're talking
about. And don't be afraid of being controversial. Controversy
draws attention. That's what you want right?

Social Marketing - I saved the best for last. Why is
this one so good. Because it is really in the lime light right now.
All the social marketing sites are competing with one another trying to out
do each other in features. Here is another area that you can get
creative and really let your personality show. You can make valuable
connections in all the social sites:
-
Twitter
-
My Space
-
Facebook
-
FriendFeed
-
YouTube
The list goes on.

Best Home Based Business Practices
Squeeze Pages
How you convince
your prospect to freely
give you their contact information.
Have you ever been stumped as to how you get people to your website? TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC! Without traffic you're dead in the water right?
Isn't that what all the gurus scream at you. But then, once you get the traffic to your website, what then? Even if you are only getting 100 hits to your website a day, if none of those 100 people either buy from you or give you their contact information then what good are they. You can't ever talk to them. You can't build a relationship with them. You can't invite them to try a new product, or check out this new resource, or look at this great opportunity. You just have to rely on getting them to your website again and again and again! How fun is that?
Not!
So once you get the prospect to your website, by blogging or news releases, or article marketing - whatever method you choose. Then what?
**SQUEEZE PAGES**
Squeeze pages identify your prospects problem and shows them specifically how you are going to solve their problem. It even offers them some small way to help them solve their problem for free - a free ebook, report, ecourse. Something that will make it worth them giving you their oh so valuable contact information.
Now you are not just going to give them their free information without checking to make sure that their contact information is good or not. That's where your autoresponder comes in. They opt in for your information and the autoresponder sends them a verification email. If they don't get that email (because of a bad email address) or they don't opt in for more information, then they are not going to get your free information - because that is also set up in your autoresponder.
Does that make sense?
Content, content, content is King. If you haven't been bloggin, or writing press releases, or doing article marketing, you haven't taken the first step yet. You're still stuck at the starting block. But that is only the beginning.
The squeeze page is the next most important step to setting up your home based business for success.
I will have a series of emails coming to walk you through how to set up an effective squeeze page, so stay tuned.
