Actual for You - So You Want to Start an Online Business Part Two - Analyzing Keywords
“We Want Specific Direction”Though you may know what to do, most people would rather be directed. When giving instructions:1. Start by summarizing the project in a sentence or two 2. Be specific as to what things should look like when completed 3. Give the due date and how often you want updates 4. Instruct the employee on what to do if something goes wrong 5. Express your confidence that they will do a good job and get their buy-in.Profit risks: Poor Quality, late delivery, and higher level people will be forced to clean-up. There is wasted time correcting errors or miscommunication.“When You Give Us Detailed Praise, We Understand it, Remember it and Work Harder For You”Rather than saying “Great job” or nothing at all, try “I really appreciate the amount of thought and effort you put into this project, thank you.”Profit risks: People who do not feel appreciated are hard to retain, do not give good customer service, and feel less invested in the organization’s success.“We Know Our Jobs Better Than You Do”Once you can ac
To be your own marketing expert you first need to know where to begin. It's no good learning how to be a good copywriter, if you don't know what medium is best to promote your work through.So the first step of marketing success is understanding what strategies are available for you in your business.From my own years of research I have found 74 different ways to generate a potential customer for every industry and that doesn’t include the dozens of ways to generate inquiries online. The 74 strategies are all used for offline promotion.I'll just share with you a few of the best, yet least known strategies here below.Do you know what strategic alliance, host beneficiary and proactive referral strategies are? What about piggyback invoice mailings, reverse host beneficiary, invitation closed door sales, loyalty programs and school newsletter ads?Of these strategies the ones I like the best are proactive referral systems, where you offer an incentive to your customers soon after they buy, to refer other customers to you and promote this through a letter to your customer within days after
If you followed through with the exercises from Part One you should have a good solid list of keywords to work with. If you don’t; please go back to Part One of this article and develop the keyword list first. Your list should consist of every possible relevant keyword for your market; including very general to very specific keywords.
So lets get down to the analyzing.
A free tool that I have used over and over is called ‘Good Keywords’ and is available for download at www.goodkeywords.com/products/gkw. Go get this first as we will use it extensively for this part of the project.
Developing your keywords is the most important part of building your online business. The keywords you choose are vital to your success. Choosing top keywords that generate too many search occurrences; and that are too competitive will make it very difficult if not impossible for the average person to obtain top level placement on the major search engines. Choosing keywords that receive too little search volume will get you too the top of the search engines; but since nobody really searches for these keywords; you won’t receive any traffic. Therefore; I can not stress enough the importance of choosing the right keywords. Spending a lot of time doing research and brainstorming for this part of your online business will pay off ten fold in the end results.
Alot of companies will look for potential employees at local job fairs. Not only is it a great way to locate new workers, but it is also a wonderful way to reach out to the community. The hiring managers can conduct a sort of 'pre-interview' with many candidates, in a face to face manner. This is an extremely cost effective way to find qualified candidates. It also allows those looking for a job to ask many questions of company representatives to narrow down their possible list. In this regard, job fairs are win-win situations for both sides.Those hiring will, however, receive many more applications and resumes than they will possibly need. This is a small price to pay in the quest to locate the right person or persons for the job. Most realize that the hiring process is an involved one, usually requiring several interviews. Job fairs help streamline that by pre-screening applicants.Those people actively looking for jobs should attend these job fairs as well, in part to increase their networking reach. They can have contact with many professionals in their field of employment in just one day. Where els

If you spend time calling on people, you know why this is something you need to think about. You can save a lot of time by calling on people when they're available and in a mood to talk rather than when they're busy.It's professional and polite to try to call on people at times that are appropriate for them. You're doing them a courtesy, even if they don't realize it. Doing so makes you stand out from the crowd of everyone else who ignores this. (And there are plenty who do ignore this.)For a short time there was a salesperson in our town who called on restaurants. Most days he made his calls when the restaurant owners and managers were preparing for lunch or dinner. He never seemed to figure out that restaurants, and their managers, tend to be very busy during certain hours. He didn’t last long in his sales job.For small retail businesses, Mondays are generally not a good day to call on the owners. Fridays can be challenging too. The best days seem to be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.If you're calling on professionals, business owners or executives, try calling before 8:00 am or after t down to the analyzing.

Paid SurveysThere are many of survey sits about and they all pay you in different ways. Some pay in the form of prizes others pay in cash, some pay in rewards and some pay in points. There are a lot of sits that charge you for your membership these sits say they are giving you a special offer price but at the end of the day you are just getting coned. You should not have to pay to become a member as you are doing a job, you would not pay the job centre to find a job.Online ResultsIf you type in the google search box paid surveys you will get about 5,190,000 results that is a lot to go though, each one saying you wont find a better deal each one offering you a better pay.Reality checkDoing online serves wont make you rich over night it takes a lot to get to the point of a decent living and you need to be commented you should look at singing up to more then one site. You really need around 150 sites to make good money all round as one will only give you anywhere between 1-4 surveys a month.The CatchWhat’s the catch with a lot of these companies you have to sing up to trtant part of building your online business. The keywords you choose are vital to your success.

With the increased challenges that all companies are faced with, many corporations have implemented various initiatives to continue to grow corporate earnings and shareholder value, some have discovered the strategic value of corporate awards and corporate gifts. From the boardroom to the frontlines to the client across the country, corporate awards and gifts offer many benefits to enhance performance. Not only are you showing your appreciation to the employee or customer, you setting a standard of thanks for the hard work and dedication.Corporate Awards Benefits: A company’s success depends on its employees and their abilities. With the incentive of a corporate award or corporate gift you attract and retain current employees to pursue for more in the workplace. Corporate awards are great for:• Direction • Talent Retention • Sales Goals • Public Relations • A Direct affect on the company’s bottom line.Things to Consider when giving a Corporate Award: How many times do you give the award? Most companies have an annual corporate dinner or function where the years corpoh volume will get you too the top of the search engines; but since nobody really searches for these keywords; you won’t receive any traffic. Therefore; I can not stress enough the importance of choosing the right keywords.

So how do we analyze keywords? We analyze them one at a time. It will seem a bit tedious but pace yourself; take breaks if you need to; walk away from it and come back later.
We’ll start with the list you developed in Part One of this series. When you open the ‘Good Keywords’ tool; you are presented with a menu. From this menu choose ‘Keyword Suggestions’. This will open another window in which you can enter your first keyword in the box provided. Below this box you’ll see an option ‘Research Using’. Here you can select the engine you want to retrieve data from. Overture US should be the default. If it isn’t then lets choose Overture from the drop down list. Depending on how you plan to market your website you may change the ‘Research Using’ engine. I’ll discuss this in more detail in an upcoming article on Marketing Your Website For Performance or PPC.
For the purpose of this exercise lets enter the keyword phrase ‘Santa Letter’ and click on ‘Go’. Sometimes you’ll receive a message ‘lookup failed’. This is normal and simply means the server is too busy. If this happens just click ‘Go’ again until you receive results in the right hand window. From my search I received 92 results. You will see from the list that there are many variations of the phrase Santa Letter. What you see are recent incremental results from Overture’s database of any searches containing the keyword phrase ‘Santa Letter’. The number to the right of each
