Online Marketing Tips

Each week I get emails asking me for recommendations on learning materials and programs, business automation tools, and other products and systems that can help you grow and build your online business. These are resources that are personally used by me, my development team and my virtual assistance team.

Web Video University
Did you know that 65% of online surfers will finish watching a video ad which is a far better success rate than the 20% who complete reading a text ad.  This online training course teaches you how to easily create professional videos that sell. (I strongly recommend this course.)

FaceBook Marketing
This one falls under the category of, “I wish I thought of that first!”.  The most frequently asked question that new virtual assistants of me is “How do I market myself? How do I find clients?”.  My answer, “Network, network, network”.  Facebook has been very instrumental in the success of my multi-VA firm.  Need to learn how to market your services on Facebook?  Mari is known as the Pied Piper of FB and I follow her around religiously!

Aweber
This is the service that I use to publish newsletters, ezines and broadcast messages when something new and exciting pops up in-between regularly scheduled broadcasts.  With Aweber you can quickly create and run your campaigns with powerful, easy-to-use email marketing tools.  Whether you’re looking to get your first campaign off the ground, or you’re a seasoned veteran who wants to dig into advanced tools like detailed email web analytics, geo-targeting and broadcast split-testing, you will be able to do it easily with this system.  Now, whenever you create a broadcast message in AWeber, you have the option to automatically “tweet” that email too. Very nice!

Client Attraction System
Fabienne Frederickson, founder of the Client Attraction System has assisted hundreds of small businesses in attracting new clients. She started, and filled, two of her own successful private practices in less than 8 months each and created her famous system to help other online entrepreneurs get all the clients that they need.
