What Is A Brand, and How Do You Make One?

A brand is something that sets you apart from your competition. As you are walking down the aisle in the store, you will see many brands of shampoos, laundry detergents, cosmetics, and the list goes on. Each product has a particular function, laundry soap is for cleaning laundry, shampoo to wash hair, but what sets them apart? Why do you choose on brand over the other? You have somehow developed a connection to a certain brand, either by their promotional methods, referral by someone you trust, you may have tried it and liked the results, or just curiosity. This is where branding comes into play for you. You are going to create a brand that sets you apart from the rest, something that will connect to the public, to those who will benefit from your product.

You want to create an impression that will last “forever” in the minds of your prospects. Take a closer look as you watch ads on TV, or that you hear on the radio, what angles are they taking to get your attention? Let me give you a few tips on how to use the same angles that the pros use.

When someone contacts your business by phone, what response to they get? Are they greeted by a generic voicemail asking them to leave a message, or are they greeted by a real person with a friendly voice, ready to help the caller with their request?

Do you have a niche slogan, something memorable and appealing, gaining the trust of your potential customer? Let me give you some examples.

* Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.
* Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
* Obey your thirst.
* It takes a licking and keeps on ticking.
* So easy a Caveman can do it.
* Good to the last drop.

As you read these slogans, did the product immediately come to your mind? As you can see, the product is not listed in any of these slogans, but you automatically associate the brand with the slogan. You want to create a slogan that will invoke the same connection, something that will be simple, but unforgettable. You want to evoke a special expectation of your product, and make your motto your magnetic signature.

On your website, you have an About Me page, what you put here will create the impression you are striving for in the mind of your reader. What do you want your prospect to know about you?

Are you hardworking, expert in your niche, honest, trustworthy, dependable, creative, successful, etc…? You want to create your about me page to be something that will be engraved in your customers mind, and this can’t be done just by claiming to have these traits. You need to tell short stories, share experiences, that will evoke the feelings of loyalty and trust. You are creating a brand for yourself in the mind of your prospects.

Take these tips and put them to work in your viral marketing strategy, you will be on your way to creating your own brand that will be as memorable as the ones you hear and never forget.

Thank you for requesting the Endless Traffic video.

My VP of operations, Aurelius Tjin from Unstoppable Profits Pty Ltd & I recorded this video in the hotel while attending the World Internet Summit Melbourne in Victoria, Australia.

In this 14:40 min. video Aurelius & I give several tips on how to generate an endless amount of traffic. And generating traffic is one of the cornerstones to making money online.

The cornerstones are:

– Provide a product or service or find somebody else’s product or service to provide that is in demand and solves a problem or fulfills a need or want

– Generate traffic to it

– If it’s your own page you send traffic to, improve results over time by doing split tests

But back to traffic generation, that’s what Aurelius & I cover in this video. BTW… it’s the first of a short series of videos we did.

Here it is… enjoy!

Please let me know your thoughts on what Aurelius & I share in this video by leaving your comment below. Also, what kind of videos would you like to see from me in the future? Are there any specific questions you like to see me answer here? Please leave your comment below.

How Can Forums Help?

Let’s start out by first explaining the definition of a “forum”.  Simply, a forum is a place online where you are free to discuss and participate in topics of interest.  There will be sections that will correspond to each topic.  You can join in on the listed topics, or start your own thread.

When you first join a forum, you will introduce yourself and the topics you are interested in.  There are so many advantages for your business to become involved with internet forums.  I will list a few of these advantages here, but remember, this is just a few reasons.

Advantage #1
Learning more about your particular interest. As you participate in a forum, you will begin to bond with the other members in your group. The members of that group will begin to trust you, expressing their doubts, fears, and questions about that topic. You may become the “expert” they are searching for, someone who is there to share valuable knowledge and information. You will also learn more by reading the questions and replies by other members.

Advantage #2
Method of increasing traffic to a website. You have just created a website, but you don’t have any traffic yet. How can forums help you create traffic? Not only will you create traffic to your website, but you will be doing it for free. When you sign up on a forum, you will have an option to create a signature, which will be automatically attached to each post you write. Your signature can include your website, which will be an automatic invitation to the forum members. If you have contributed something of value to the forum, then no only will your post be read, but your name and URL to your website.

Advantage #3
A chance to get to know others with similar interests. Face it, working online can become a pretty lonely business, since you don’t really interact with the public. Forums are a great way to make connections with fellow marketers, or those who have the same interests or passions. Share ideas with, create friendships, have the comfort of know that there are so many more that are in the same spot you are in. You no longer feel so alone in cyberspace.

Advantage #4
Backlinks are created, which affects your page ranking in a very positive way. Many marketers will exchange links with other sites which will increase the number of backlinks to their own site. As they exchange backlinks, they are boosting their page ranking as well as boosting search engine ranking. An example would be your signature which includes your website URL. With every post, you will get a backlink to your website. The more you post, the more backlinks you create.

Internet forums are a great way to enhance your viral marketing strategy. It may take a little more time, but worth every minute of it. Not only will you be creating traffic to your site, you will become an expert in your topic or niche. You will gain respect and trust of the other forum members, creating a positive reputation.

Another quick note, for those of you who are ready for an even bigger challenge, you can create your own internet forum. You don’t need to be a whiz kid or geek to do this. You can choose from several hosting sites that will help you. If you create your own forum, you are actually creating your own viral social network that will display your Adsense codes and banner. If you are ready to kick your viral marketing into high gear, then this may be your ticket.

What is article marketing and what can it do for you? You are marketing your product via Articles!

Article marketing is a very simple way to promote your website or product, and you can do it all for FREE! This “free” method of marketing can boost your sales, your sites, drive traffic, and therefore, increasing your income dramatically.

Articles have got to be the easiest and most productive way to promote a website, generating traffic and increase your earnings.

How to get started

You will begin by writing articles that are related to your website, then submit them to sites that allow free content. One of the sites mentioned previously is Ezine Articles.

How does an article boost traffic and increase your income?

Your articles on the free content sites will contain a link to your website. After your article is read, the reader may choose to learn more by clicking on your link. By having your articles on the free content sites, you are making your articles available to webmasters who may want to publish your article on their site. If your article is used on other sites, your link will be there to bring even more traffic to your site. The more articles you have on these sites, the more opportunities to get your links in front of the readers. The more links you have, the more traffic you will create. The major search engines put a lot of credence on the number of links coming into your websites, which determines how important that site is. The more links going into your site, the more important your website becomes to the search engines.

This traffic coming to your website via article marketing, will mean more potential customers. You may not have customers with every visit, they may browse this time, but come back again to see what you are offering another time. Some customers have a specific thing on mind, but unable to make a decision from all the choices online. Who knows, they may stumble across one of your articles, likes your content, goes to your website, and blown away by your promotions. Simple, huh!

Your website is not the only thing indexed by the search engines, but they also index every one of your published articles. Anything you write about regarding your sites topic will be indexed, allowing anyone searching for that topic, to see all the articles you have written. This really is a simple way to bring traffic to your site, just by publishing your articles with the help of the search engines.

Don’t think that article marketing will be a waste of your time, not when you can soon see your articles printed all over the internet.

Video Marketing, the Article Marketing of Today

The Internet is continually evolving and changing for the better, and one of these major changes has been the use of videos and how they are used for marketing. Did you know that there are approximately 14.5 billion viewers on the web, which is about 97 videos per person, just here in the US. Wow, that is a lot of video watching, and an obvious market to tap into.

If you are going to use video marketing, what do you need to know? You have the option of making a sales, informational, or educational video. The word from top internet marketers is informational videos will outrank sales videos. People are looking for useful information, not necessarily to be sold on something. If the video gives them great information, they will continue to visit your site, which will then, increase your sales.

There are a few types of videos that will be very effective for your viral campaign. A simple way to get started is with a Slideshow – This is a simple video with pictures and titles, along with your voice over. This is a great way to get yourself noticed. Have a call to action in your video, which is vital to your business. Add your address, and or website at the end of your video, as you cannot include a link.

Don’t be intimidated by video marketing, you don’t need to be a Hollywood director in order to produce a good video. Matter of fact, it truly is very simple with all the programs available to help you. You don’t need a Hollywood production to get hits on your video, just some great information.

There are many of you who just don’t feel comfortable in writing articles to promote your site or product. If this is you, then video marketing will be a great medium for you to use. As you know, article marketing is based on keywords placed through out the article, but you can’t add keywords in a video. This is why you make sure your title has the right tags, then have some good information, and put it in one of the variety of programs available, and you are ready.

Twitter seems to be the big topic on the web right now, everyone is “Twittering”, so if you’re not on the Twitter wagon, time to get on.

Let me first introduce to you to Twitter, for those of you who are new to the term. If you already know about Twitter, don’t skip this post, there is still information that will benefit you.

Twitter, What Is It?

Basically, Twitter is a great social networking community, using microblogs of a maximum of 140 characters on a post. You choose people that you want to follow and there will be those that want to follow you. This is a way of keeping tabs on your status at all times, what are your interests, how you spend your day, what sites do you like to visit, what are your hobbies, etc…every time you post what you are doing, or thinking about, it is called a “Tweet”.

Your tweet can be personal or to reflect your business. There are a number of applications that can be used to maximize your brand and company, letting your followers know who you are and what you have to offer. This is a huge bonus to those of us in the Internet Marketing community, allowing you the publicity, and then some great financial benefits.

Here are a few tips to help you use Twitter in your viral marketing campaign:

• Make your profile unique to your company and brand. Include your website or blog in your profile, which will draw in much wanted traffic.
• Make sure you have your values posted, and never, ever SPAM.
• Look for others that are Tweeting about your niche, follow them, get to know them, and you will find that they will follow you in return.
• Don’t be shy about posting, get involved, reply to others that post, keep yourself on the grid.
• Don’t be “pushy” with your business, but do offer to help others with valuable content, advice, information, etc…when you have something valuable to offer, they will come.

One of the best weapons you can use in your viral marketing campaign is the use of Free E-Books. There are many reasons for using E-books in viral marketing, but here I will give you the top 4 reasons for using them today, as well as in the future.

1. E-books are so inexpensive to create and it takes so little time to set up.

If you have already written articles about the niche or topic you are promoting, simply combine these articles to create an informative E-book. Or, let’s say that writing isn’t your forte, all you need to do then is use rebrandable E-books written and produced by someone else.

All you need to do is search the web for “Re-brandable Ebooks”. You will find more than you need, giving you lots to choose from. Now that you have found an E-book, you will distribute them as a free gift for your subscribers or to visitors to your web site.

Hopefully, your E-book contains material that your readers will want to share with their family and friends, passing it along to them… and the process will continue down the line. As it is continually passed on to others… and you will be making money.

2. E-books have the capacity of reaching a massive audience

And for this reason, it is crucial that your E-book is not only informative, but also timely in the information, along with some humor, making it fun and exciting to read. It needs to something that is worth passing on, talked about, and remembered.

Everyone loves to know something that the rest of the world would like or need to know. If you create something that makes them look like they are “in the know”, they will pass on your information.

3. E-books are a great way to sell several products other than the targeted product

For example; if you are selling small kitchen appliances, your customers could also be interesting in E-books about how to use them, great recipes, such as this recipe book on how to make homemade ice-cream.

4. E-books are highly effective in building your brand and reputation

If you create a quality E-book, and it is passed along to others, your recommendation is implied with each new reader.
