Let’s talk a little bit about blogging. Max Pro system co-creator Mike Antoni is a die hard believer in blogging. He thinks it’s not only a fantastic way to drive traffic to your site but it’s also a great way to build up your list.
To drive traffic to your site you want to blog frequently. Blogs are updated and ranked more easily in Google then a regular website. So the more you update the better your ranking. You also want to make your blog posts as keyword rich as possible. This will also increase your ranking.
So remember to have a good set of keywords that your targeting before you start blogging.
In order to build a list off your blog what you want to do is offer a free giveaway that a potential customer would opt-in to receive. This can be something simple like a free report. Once the customer has opted in now you have the opportunity to relationship build with them which will increase your sales potential.
One further note; remember to choose a keyword rich URL for better Google rankings.
Growing up in West Virginia I learned to speak good old “hillbilly” language. If we were going to prepare something or get it ready for use we were “fixin”. Or, we were fixin to go to the store. We went “huntin”, “fishin” and “swimmin”. If it was dark and we needed to find something, we used a “fashlight”. We went to church to “warship” God. We knew what we meant but others looked at us in dismay. I have had a lot of fun with my “upbringin in them thar hills”. I am not a “hillbilly” anymore. I am a “hillwiliam”– “cause I got a collage educatin”.
There are 17 major dialectical speech patterns in the USA and it is sometimes humorous to get an understanding of what people mean by their expressions that are a unique fixture of their area. Texans have an expression that I heard about 45 years ago and did not understand it until this week. When they say, “that dog will hunt” it means that it is possible. The reverse is clearly spoken among Texans too. If “that dog won’t hunt” means it is impossible. Expressions like “yall”, “you guys”, “youins” and ”weins” are not uncommon in referring to a small group of people. The one that took me awhile to understand from the southwest was “where do you stay”? I found out they were just asking me where I lived. This expression took on a good meaning for me from the Greek (living in and around the Greek community of Tarpon Springs) word “meno” which means to stay in a given place, state or relationship. See, I love Tarpon Springs, the “Venice of the South”. I want to stay here until I go to my real home–Heaven!
Jesus used this word in John chapter 15 when he said “abide in me”. The concept of staying in Him is very powerful and the evidence of our abiding in Him is that we will bear fruit. This carries over to all areas of our life. It is with this in mind that I ask you, “where do you stay?”
How many of you are currently using Twitter to market your business?
Think of yourselves as the CEO of your very own Max Pro company. It’s up to you to keep in touch with your public. Twitter is a great way to do that.
To get started, go over to Twitter and register an account. It’s free!
Then start typing. Each Twitter update has to be less then 140 characters. When you update keep in mind that your attempting to establish a relationship with your audience (your potential customers.)
So how do you get an audience? Simple. Search for people to follow. When you follow them they’ll usually follow you in return.
Do you ever feel that you have lost connection with your customer base? This sense of separation can come from ineffective communication or a result of poor listening, off-target marketing, or an issue of weak product branding. Disconnection can happen when the marketing campaign utilizes wrong strategies that stray from the interests of the targeted, niche market. How do you reconnect? It is vital to Internet marketing success that an “alive” relationship is established and maintained at all times. Never take for granted your audience! They must feel valued and made to feel important or you will lose them, both new buyers and repeat purchasers. “Show me you know me” needs to be your focus. Be Connected!
It is never too late to start growing. (If you fall for the idea that life is supposed to be easy, either you will become severely disillusioned or you will live in denial of reality.) “We become whatever we are committed to. Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you choose to make. Your commitments can develop you or they can destroy you, but either way, they will define you.”
Relationships are always worth restoring. “Do everything possible on your part to live in peace with everybody.” Who do you need to restore a broken relationship with today? (EMPHASIZE RECONCILIATION, NOT RESOLUTION… It is unrealistic to expect EVERYONE to AGREE about everything! AKA POLITICS, RELIGIOUS VIEWS & CONFLICT. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem.)
