Questions to Ask While Doing SEO Marketing

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Questions can never be bad no matter how dumb they may sound. While doing SEO marketing, there are questions that need to be answered. Some of these can be generic questions but some others can be very detailed as well.

The first question that needs to be asked is the target audience of the site. Some websites are made for the general audience but others have the potential of attracting only a specific type of audience. Some sites are made for children or teenagers while some others are made for business people. It is important to identify the target audience so that it will be a lot easier to do marketing.

Next, identify the amount of budget that is allocated for the marketing of the website. With a decent amount of budget, various marketing and promotional methods can be used. For example, a site can utilize the pay-per-click method if the site owner can allocate a small amount of money for it.

Another thing to look at is the type of promotion that the site can do. For example, a site that sells goods or services can give out free samples or discount vouchers for their products. A site that is made for a certain niche for example, gaming, can create competitions to give gamers a taste of their product or services.

How to Keep Your Email Marketing List Subscribers Interested

Friday, October 9th, 2009

email-marketingThere are two main aspects to email marketing. The first one is how to build email lists. The second comes as a result of the former: how to keep your newsletter subscribers happy and interested. In other words: how to make sure that they will not click on the feared “unsubscribe” link that comes with every single email you send them.

Sustaining your newsletter subscribers‘ interest is certainly not an easy task, but it is not excessively complicated either. There are two simple yet effective measures that you can take in order to ensure that your email marketing plan will succeed, thus avoiding that your subscribers lose interest in your messages:

Email marketing: Let potential subscribers know what awaits them

If you are going to ask people to give you their email addresses, it is only fair that in return you let them know exactly what they can expect from your newsletter. This is email marketing basics. However, you would be surprised if you knew how many webmasters, bloggers and Internet marketers neglect this important trick.

When you inform your subscribers of what type of content they will find in your newsletters, you help them build positive expectations. Therefore, they will be more likely to subscribe because they will be genuinely interested in what you will send them. Just make sure that you will deliver on your promises. Which leads us to the next point.

Email marketing: make sure to add relevant content to each newsletter issue

You must make a conscious effort to fill every single issue of your newsletter with content that is strictly related to the promises you made to your subscribers. This is mandatory if you want to win the email marketing game.

Make no mistake: if you over promise and under deliver, people will unsubscribe. That is, if you promise that they will get access to exclusive quality content but mostly send them lame articles, they will for sure look eagerly for the “unsubscribe” link. Once they reach it, you will never see them again.

Email marketing is not simply a matter of collecting addresses. The more careful you are and the better you treat your subscribers, the higher your chances to retain them. Long-term subscriber retention is an undeniable sign of a successful email marketing plan.
