Marketing Expert - Writing and Marketing Tips For Your Business on the Internet

"Sales are through the roof! The last six weeks, nothing stays on the shelf. Almost before we get the cartons open our merchandise is off the shelf and out the door, bagged for a customer." One powerful response to the latest interview of merchants on the Guru Trail.

"After a season of near catastrophic low sales, our business is booming!" says another.

What makes the difference?

    Article Marketing - both locations have started writing articles for the Internet, maximizing their coverage with articles they submit to EzineArticles.com or IdeaMarketers.com for instant traffic domination in their fields.
    Resource Boxes - the resource boxes on their articles are dynamic, personable and pull traffic with qualifying directives to click on the links included in the last paragraph of the article.
    Relevant Content - all content is relevant to the overall business of the merchants in question. Because the content is so totally relevant and necessary to the businesses and their merchandise, readers grab the information and search out the resources they require.

How can you market your offline business to the Internet Market and receive similar results? Find your Internet Marketing Niche and speak loudly with article marketing content builders that people grab, reproduce and use in their own web marketing ventures.

    Use bullets - bullet points are easy to read and definitive. They allow you to give your reader more information in less time.
    Use action words - positive flow can be totally disrupted by a "to be" verb, so write with action verbs that keep the reader moving on to the next phrase of your article.
    Stop wasting space - give the reader important value in your articles. Do nothing articles that provide no solutions waste space on the web. Stop wasting their time and get to the point.
    White Space is GOOD - Leaving some white space and organizing your article for restful breakpoints in the writing offers the reader a place to rest tired eyes.

    Be real - if you're telling your client such an outlandish tale they can't believe you, they won't.

Writing and Speaking - Strategic Use of Speech Recognition Software to Improve Both

If you are both a writer and a public speaker then I have some tips for you which I have learned to help increase my productivity. There are now devices which work with speech recognition software which are digital recorders. In other words, you talk into the digital recorder and it has a USB cable, and you can stick it into the side of your computer and it will download everything that you said. It will convert all of your words into ones and zeros, and you can transfer it all directly into your Microsoft programs.

Now then, this article was written by speech recognition software while I am on my walk this afternoon. In other words while I am walking and getting my exercise I am also talking and explaining the incredible benefits of speech recognition software to improve both your writing and speaking. A couple of months ago I was giving a talk to a local group here in my city, and I sat the digital recorder on the podium in front of me. After I was done with my talk, I brought the digital recorder home and plugged it into my computer, I turned it on to see how well it worked.

Although it wasn't perfect because I didn't have a close to my mouth, it did record most everything that I spoke about fairly accurately and clearly. I then took that information and put it into online articles. Okay so, what I'm recommending is that you go ahead and find one of these digital recorders which works with a specific speech recognition software program, and there are a number of manufacturers that offer these systems, and then use this technique to increase the number of articles that you write online, or perhaps write that novel you've always wanted to do.

In the future, and I haven't done this yet, but I plan on taking a large rubber band and strapping it to the digital recorder and then to the microphone at the podium from where I am speaking. And then when I am done, I will simply unhook the tape recorder, and save all of that information to download later into a word processing program like Microsoft Word.

Why shouldn't you harness all the technological advances of the digital age to help improve your productivity? Indeed, I hope you will please consider all this and think on it. If you have any comments, questions, or case studies, or perhaps anything that you've tried along these lines which has worked for you, then let's compare notes.

Article Writing And Speaking - 9 Tips To Attract New Clients By Leveraging Your Writing and Speaking

If you are writing to become better known both online and off, you should be leveraging everything that you write or say. Leveraging, an easily learned skill, involves using everything that you write and speak and turning it into a variety of information products that can be sold or given away to potential clients.

Here are 9 tips to leveraging your writing and speaking to attract new clients:

    Start a Blog that deals with your specific niche market. Keep your postings to under 300 words and try to post at least three times each week.
    After you write a post, expand upon the information and ideas and turn it into an article. Be sure you are including your top keywords in the title and in the body of your writing. Submit your articles to several article directories.
    Combine several of these articles you have written on a specific topic within your niche and turn them into a Special Report. These reports are generally from eight to twenty pages and are filled with good, useful content. Convert them into PDF format for ease of distribution to others.
    Use other articles for e-booklets, tips booklets, and printable booklets. These will become your brochure and will enable you to be seen as an expert in your field. Always write on the topic that is your specialized area of expertise within your niche.
    Combine even more articles and other writing and publish an e-book. This should be eighty pages or longer, but do not exceed about one hundred fifty pages. People like to print their e=books out, and anything longer than that becomes unwieldy. If clients have been reading your articles and e-booklets they should be ready to purchase your e-book. By this time potential clients will see that you have knowledge they want to tap into and be willing to pay for that knowledge.
    Hold a free teleseminar. There are several companies that offer the bridge line for only the cost of the long distance call. Use one of your articles or an excerpt from your e-book to make an outline for the content of your call. Before you finish the teleseminar invite listeners to go to your website and purchase your e-book, sign up for more information, or email you with further questions.
    Offer an e-course to those who are willing to opt in to your database. The e-course can consist of five to seven emails sent out at specified intervals. This course should be directly tied to your area of expertise. At the end of the e-course offer your readers more information in the way of e-books, more teleconferences, or mentoring.
    Turn your teleconferences into CD's and mp3's that your readers can purchase. Also, have the teleconferences transcribed and offer the transcription to clients who would rather read the information you are giving.
    Look back at what you have done and repeat the process. See what your clients liked best about what you gave them Ask them what information they would still like to get from you and in what format they would prefer it to be delivered. Your readers and listeners will let you know what you should do next. Listen to them!

You will find that you can take one or two articles and build your business with that as a foundation. Some people like to come to live teleconferences while others prefer to wait for the replay and listen to it on their computer or mp3 player. Still others will want to have a CD to listen to in their car. Some people will want to read your information on their computer and others will want to print it out and put it into a notebook. Give people the option of getting the information you want to deliver in the format that is most convenient to them. If you start with a Blog and move into e-books and teleconferences you will build your database and your business in a very short time. This is all due to the concept of leveraging your writing and speaking.
