Marketing Your Business

Productive work is what will make you money for the long term. Busy work is a waste if time which has no guarantee. Of course in the long term, that so called Òbusy workÓ might pay off; yet, in the start of building a business from home it is crucial to use the phone and talk to real people and have actual conversations to build rapport and trust. This is the key to building a successful home based business.

Life in the Philippines
Tropical storms

Once again this week a tropical storm has been hanging around the Philippines, with the result that there tends to be heavy rain in the evenings, just when I settle down to catch up on the latest news on TV.

The satellite systems sold here have far to small a dish to receive a good signal when it rains and it is something that the providers need to address, it also effects cable suppliers in the provinces as well as virtually all content is bounced of satellite at some point apart from local channels.
I have subscribed to Expat TV which allow me to watch programs from the UK on my computer and I starting to think that I might ditch my satellite, as the Internet is not effected by the weather, unless of course the power or phone lines are damaged by falling trees.

Last week I had a meeting with the local electricity supplier and they agreed to take up my complaint about how they calculated my deposit with their Board. A number of other items were discussed, including their website which is still under construction, as they have a vacancy. I made a suggestion that is they removed links from the site to pages which were not complete, visitors would have a better browsing experience.

For some time now I have been searching for ways for people to be able to improve life in the Philippines, and yesterday when out for a visit to the beach we stopped off at a restaurant in Dapitan city, where a business presentation was being held. As we finished our lunch, I asked for an information pack, as it maybe something that I could build as a local source of income.

How Too Productively Work your Home Business

There are different methods and strategies which people use when building a home based business. Some use email marketing as their primary method while other people spend time writing articles much like this one. These two methods set out for long term results and are not as productive as using the phone, holding small business conferences (on or offline), or introducing a person face to face about your products or services.

Marketing your Business

When you have a business which you want to market online, it is naturally assumed that either you have in depth knowledge of your business, or you are delegating this task to an advertising department or agency.

I talk to many people during the course of a week and it never ceases to amaze me, the number of them, who have little knowledge of the products they are selling. One conversation that often springs to mind was speaking with a gentleman, who signed up to use one of my marketing tools and I asked him how his business was doing and he replied that he had been working online for about a year but was having trouble getting traffic and had made no sales. I discovered he was selling Quickbank products, on delving a little deeper it turned it turned out that one of the products was a traffic generator which seemed somewhat ironic. I asked him if he used any of the products himself and he said an emphatic NO.

One basic point about marketing your business online or offline is you must know your product. Relying on the content and samples provided in sales literature, which hundreds if not thousands of other people use is just is not good enough. When marketing your business, You need to be able to provide your unique insight, which is why some people are more successful than others.

Far too many people think that to earn money online all they have to do is post a few adverts directing people to an affiliate page and the money will come rolling in, if this was so we would all be millionaires. The way you earn money on or offline follows the same formulae Time + Effort = Money or to put it another way you earn money from the time and effort you put into your business. A traditional business needs start up capital as it is very difficult to run a business if you have no seed capital to get you going.

The cost of setting up an Internet business is much lower, but it is not free despite the many free offers you may see, to make money you need to invest money and put in time and effort to earn more.

The basic advice I gave to this Gentleman was that to to go back to the drawing board and find a product or service that interested him, or he had knowledge about, research this niche for money earning product and keywords for marketing his business and then build a blog to include a lead capture box and to provide updated information about his niche on a weekly basis with links to his business sales page.

Network marketing is a wonderful idea for entrepreneurs to think about when starting or looking at a particular business model. The benefits of network marketing gives people the ability to start a business from the ground up with very little overhead or investment on their part without the need to hold inventory. This of course means that there is no need to carry or ship products to customers. Network marketing allows the customers of a particular company the opportunity to become distributors who spread the word about the company's products creating the perfect model for any home based business.

Marketing your Business

Some time ago I researched information about Dipolog City and found sites for both the region Zanorte and the City itself, however the information on the sites had not been kept up to date and one site was missing altogether, perhaps it is been revised. How can a city attract visitors and investment when information is not up to date. One glaring example was the electrical supply situation where no mention was made about the fact of a major upgrade that is at present underway. I gleaned this information from a private site that suggests it supplies news on a daily basis but was last updated in October.

I have today revisited my research and the site that was missing is now up an running, operated by the tourist board, however it is does not have an English version of news which surprises me. I think the site is still under construction as many link do not work. The Local electricity supplier site is still also incomplete but is slowly being updated, hopefully this work will be completed soon, as it could be a good source of information as to when planned maintenance is being undertaken.

When you are marketing a business online it is vital that your website is kept up to date and the same goes for public information sites otherwise your visitors will disappear.

Commercial sites must have a constant supply of fresh information, for example details of special offers, prices changes, sales or even changes in personnel and management. An easy way of supplying this information is to write a daily blog and then connect the feed the the index page of your blog, this will ensure visitors including search engine robots will keep coming back for more.

Until the next time

Marketing Tools

What kind of marketing tools do you need to market your business. One of the most important is an autoresponder, because email is one of the easiest ways of getting your message across to your potential customers. In its simplest form it will send out an automatic reply to mail received by a particular email address, such rudimentary autoresponder are included in hosting packages and with free email systems such as gmail ( by using the vacation feature). Many reverse marketers use there simple systems to promote there business to everyone that send them mail.

One of the most popular autoresponders is Aweber but it can also become an expensive investment as your client list grows yes you can start for $1, but the normal fee is $19 a month with a limit on 500 subscribers, rising to $49 for 5,000 and $69 for 10,000 subscriber.

Constant contact fees schedule start of as free but then charges $15 a month for 500, $50 for 5,000 and $75 for 10,000 subscribers.

Increasing costs however is not the only problem, both of the above systems expose your email address, to the possibly of being shut down for spam complaints, even if you are not sending spam and your ISP will shut you down

so what is the solution, well Veremail is a POP email system. Your Veretekk username is your email address with all our domains (40 of them at this writing) as the root domain for your username. I.E.: david-ogden@veretekk.com , david-ogden@blastomatic.com , david-ogden@vereconference.com, david-ogden@webcatch.net, you get the idea right? So unlike all the other Autoresponder / email publication services (Aweber, Getresponse, Constant Contact, Email Aces, and 123response and a lot more to many to list) none offer a POP mail account to go with your system. You have to wonder why.

Email systems that incorporate list building, subscription forms that incorporate mass mailing and sequential mailings (autoresponders) often get many spam complaints. Please pay attention, as this lesson is very valuable.

The spam complaints follow to the senders return email address. Your email address. If you are using a Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc. you will loose that email address. If you are using AOL, Comcast, Road Runner, TCT, or any other email address associated with your ISP you will get your ISP account terminated.

At Veretekk your email address is selected from one of our domains and runs from our servers. If we get a complaint, we have the resources and proof that your email is a verified opted in email and the spam complaint is not legitimate.

Your Veremail system is fully integrated with a host of other tools, including blogging, social connections conference rooms, work groups and marketing portals for an all in cost of $54.95, no matter how large your mailing lists are.

Social Marketing

A new feature is been added to my V2 marketing system, which will greatly enhance the symbiotic marketing effect of the the system. Now if you have not heard or do not know about symbiotic marketing. It is a method of advertising where one marketer shares his products and services with anothers marketers customers. for instance you could swop or share mailing lists to introduce your customers to a variety of products.

V2 has a group of some 112 business entrepreneurs, know as the bullpen who have agreed to cross market their business. Now some people might throw up their hands in horror at the thought of advertising a possible rivals product, but look at the advantages.

Let us assume that each person has 100 contacts that means that any advertising will possible be seen by not 100 people but by 100 * 112 = 11,200 people. Now when you tie this together with other social media connections where the average number of contacts is:-

• Facebook 112 friends
• Twitter 115 followers
• LinkedIn 150 connections

You will see that you marketing efforts could be seen by some 42,000 people

The new V2 marketing you business feature will allow you when you post to your vereblog to send it to the facebook accounts of all the bullpen members without any further action required by yourself. This is just one of of the many feature of a truly intergrated marketing system which costs Gold subscribers only $54.95

Productive work is what will make you money for the long term. Busy work is a waste if time which has no guarantee. Of course in the long term, that so called "busy work" might pay off; yet, in the start of building a business from home it is crucial to use the phone and talk to real people and have actual conversations to build rapport and trust.

Personal reflections

I am still puzzled on how to market my business in the Philippines. as I see it there are two challenges, one lack of money and two the population is relatively young. Internet cafe's are popular, but used mostly for playing games. Yahoo is used extensive here with many businesses having a yahoo email address, this is somewhat surprising as I find Yahoo tends to corrupt my computer, so I avoid using it.

I use a local business forum to engage with locals working online but it is difficult to have any meaningful discussion. I have noticed that the majority of advertising provides little information about what is being sold and rarely links to a website. The seller either requesting a PM or an email for further details. People do seem to read entries in the forum judging by the emails requesting more information, and this is perhaps something that I can use to my advantage for marketing my business.

A colleague of mine says

There are leads all over the Internet for free staring people right in the face and they do not even realize it. I must say that; only the people I work directly with will get this valuable information on calling prospects. Sorry, but I cannot reveal all the productive secrets to building a large organization within your home based business.

.

Thanks Steven , I have just found a new source for marketing my business now all I have to do is resolve the money issue and get them to use the Internet cafe's to get them out of the poverty trap.
