List Building Tools - Benefits of List Building- Submitted by Jim Roche NJ

If you're one of those internet marketers that assume list building is only for the gurus at the top of the food chain, think again.

There are actually many benefits that internet marketers of any level can enjoy from this practice.

You've been avoiding this part of your business for far too long. Consider the advantages of list building listed below:

* You can provide periodic emails with your unbiased opinion about certain products you've used or recently discovered that might benefit them in some way. Of course, you'd have your affiliate link embedded in the offer just in case a few might want to purchase the product for themselves…. CHING!
* You can begin creating your own information products and offer them a discount for being a part of your list of loyal customers… CHING!
* You can offer your services at a discounted rate for a limited time to subscribers only… CHING!
* You can inform them about new promotional materials you have for your affiliates (who… by the way earn 50% of all sales they generate) and if anyone is interested they can sign up and start promoting some of your products and services… CHA! CHING!

Always take the high road, it is a lot less crowded and much easier to navigate.

Social media has exploded in the last few years if you haven't already noticed and Sokule is one heavy hitter, just like 12 Second Commute will be a household name... Jane Mark my words!

Internet Marketers and online business owners all over the globe have experienced the power of this monster market and as a result advertising has become big business for the social media sites.

Sokule and 12 Second Commute are hands down plain and simple good business decisions any way you look at it. If you've got an online business you need tools to manage it, you also need an easy, effective way to advertise through social media.

Both of these services are a marriage made in heaven and together with just these two services you will make your online presence seen, heard, felt and known.

If you are not using social media to advertise, you will be left behind my friend. Almost every wireless device on the planet now comes with some type of application for numerous social networks. including Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to name a few.

The competition is growing every day and it can be difficult to grab a potential customers attention with the overwhelming amount of information to weed through, Sokule can get your message directly to millions of people with the click of your mouse instead of just throwing your information out in the .com cosmos and hoping people see it.

Sokule much like 12 Second Commute is free to sign up and there are levels of membership that perform different functions, most marketers immediately upgrade after realizing the potential just as 12 Second Commute members upgrade to take advantage of the unlimited marketing tools for a mere $19/month.

Keyword Rich Content and Article Marketing Is The Ticket!

Keyword Rich Content and Article Marketing Is The Ticket!

One of the cheapest, easiest and fastest ways to bring free organic traffic to your website is by Article Marketing. The three biggest things that will make your website a big hit as it continues to grow is: popularity, navigation, and good content.

Navigation is in the hands of the Webmaster. However, popularity and content is all you baby! The more value you offer in your articles and the more articles you submit the more popular you will become.

The web is controlled by search engines and they are information junkies (often referred to as internet spiders). And like any junkie, they are forever searching for the next fix. When a search engine gets high on some good content it rewards its owner (YOU) by promoting a websites ranking which generates the always welcome organic (free) traffic. And traffic is the life support of internet.

The internet spiders are hungry! They need to be fed!

Make sense?

Your content needs to have certain requirements to have any real value. Search engines find search requests from users by using a system that uses keyword rich information that incorporate keywords into the body of your written content. If you have not taken the time to do keyword research or if you hate writing then I'd suggest hiring a skilled writer to do it for you. It will pay off in the long run!

Writing content just to have content out there without using keywords will be a humongous waste of your time. (Unless you are someone who just loves to write for the sake of writing or for your personal Blog) The competition is so vast people will never find you.

Let me try to explain...

If you were to write about "how to make money online" you'll see that the Google search results come back saying there are roughly 127,000,000 results. Ummmm... good luck getting found for those keywords. The only people getting all the traffic are the ones on the first few pages.

But, if you were to render it down and be more specific and let's say write about "make money online selling Avon hair products", Google returns 19,600 search results.

Chances of you getting on Page one of Google for that will be much much easier and happen faster as you submit more articles. You will be targeting a specific audience and putting your keyword rich content in front of the right people. (If that was what you were marketing.) But you get my point right?

Targeted Traffic + Conversions = Profit!

You can't just mention your keywords once or twice either. I've been told so many different numbers to use for keyword density, I honestly don't know for sure which one is the correct number to be following... I've heard anywhere from 3% up to 10% but I don't know for sure so I aim somewhere in the middle. If you do know leave me a comment, please and thank you!

That's why it's crucial to do your keyword research, find your target audience within your niche.

I kind of got off topic a bit but I got on a roll with explaining the importance of keywords rich content if you want to try article marketing but hey, sometimes it happens...

I know there are different tools out there you can use to do your keyword research some free, some you have to pay for. I use Google Adwords: Keyword Tool it's free and it works just fine for me.

I hope I was able to offer you some value with this article especially to those of you just bursting on the scene.

Just so you know... I didn't do one lick of keyword research for this article, I'm not trying to get ranked for it, I just wanted to give my readers some good information, oh hey... don't forget to let me know about the keyword density % if you know it. Thanks
