Hello Everyone, I’ve researched several top marketing tips and put together this “Best Marketing Tips”. If your content is original, relevant and well written you will naturally get traffic. But more exposure can never hurt. So here are 10 Best marketing tips that will Blow your mind. Hope you will enjoy and leave a comment on this post.Thanks!

Blog Marketing

1. Guest Posting

This is a easiest and effective traffic generating method that should be used as often as you can get accepted to provide a guest post because the traffic potential is absolutely huge. I’ve done 3 Guest Posts so far and I’m really happy with the results.

Here are 5 Reasons why you should do Guest Posting.

1. Drive targeted traffic. (99 ways to Promote your Blog).
2. Build contact with other bloggers.
3. Increase your brand awareness (How to Build a Great Brand for Your Blog).
4. Build Backlinks to your blog.
5. Get new subscribers.

2. Blog Commenting

Ahh.. Blog commenting, one of the easiest and most effective way to get targeted traffic and backlinks. If people can see you being so active and commenting everywhere they end up, they will be more inclined to comment on yours, because you become memorable.  Take the time to leave a useful comment often enough, don’t just write “great post” or “thanks”. Want to learn more how to do blog commenting effectively, then read Ultimate Guide To Effective Blog Commenting.  Don’t SPAM or self-promote when leaving blog comments.

3. Discussion Forums

Write good Articles and post your blog link as a source. It will catch the eyes of people. This strategy can really help your traffic explode because if someone from a related forum visits your blog and likes what they see, they will send people visiting their forum to your blog, thus increasing your traffic exponentially. I’m usually active on Digital Point, Webmaster-Talk and Site Point.

4. SEO

Anyone who works for, or in, an online business knows how incredibly valuable SERPS positions are.  Being listed first in Google means you are bound to gain 55% of all available clicks while second place gains only 25% and the numbers decrease so dramatically that I’d rather be 10^th then 7^th because people sometimes click on the bottom result before moving to the second page.

5. Social Media

One of the best ways to succeed on Social media is to get really involved. It is a great source of communication and the start of new friendships. It was built for genuine people who want to talk as humans and make connections. Sending people messages directly are another great way to get in touch with them on a personal level. It’s simply an incredible viral means to drive a large amount of sustainable traffic to any website over a period of time. Using it is crucial to your social marketing success. I try to submit every article to social media websites like Twitter, StumbleUpon, Digg, Reddit, Delicious.

Email Marketing

Email marketing is something that no blogger should miss. I started this blog 5 months ago, but until 1 month ago I didn’t have a mailing list. That was a big mistake on my part, since my blog could be much further along if I had built a list from the start. I didn’t realize the importance of having a mailing list until recently, when I come to Jonathan’s Blog.

Here are 6 Reasons why you should start Building your Mailing List Now.

• Connect – Emails give you an opportunity to make your fans feel more closely connected with you.
• Referrals – Put you in a position to receive regular referrals.
• Easier – Make your sales process easier and more productive.
• Start conversations with people you are targeting.
• This gives you a chance to build a good relationship with them and to show them that you will only provide them with quality products that can really help them.
• Another awesome reason is “The money is in the list” .

There are many other reasons to build a mailing list. I’m sure from just the few points made above you have realized how important a mailing list is for your online business success.

1. Autoresponder

First of all you need a autoresponder service. I higly recommended to use Aweber for your mailing list. Keep in mind that most email marketing services provide a code for your sign-up forms that you have to integrate into your web site or blog.

2. Make it easy

Put your sign-up form front and center on your web site. The easier it is for people to see that you have a mailing list, the easier it will be for them to opt-in.

3. Give Something Away

The first step is to find the free item that you will be giving away and ensure that it is something people will want. Just be sure to make it clear that in requesting the freebie, they are signing up for your mailing list.

4. Squeeze page

The next step is to build a lead capture page or squeeze page. This is just a simple page where you offer the freebie, provide the reasons it is a good idea for them to sign up for your newsletter and then put a capture form from any auto-responder on the site.

Check out some great examples of Squeeze page:

• Atomic Backlinking ebook course – 86 pages
• 7 keys to Build a Better Website

5. Newsletter

It doesn’t have to be complicated, but again, provide free resources, videos and many other things that people will want. This will encourage them to stay on your email list after they have received the freebie offered to get them there. Send out a newsletter once a week, every two weeks or even monthly to keep in contact with the people on your list.

6. Marketing

This is a vital step to take once you have done the other steps. If people don’t know about your squeeze page, they will never sign up. You have to market your page, just like you do your any other online business.
