Writing blog articles that land on Google’s first few results pages is an easy way to promote your business; you can achieve great results by simply following these guidelines.
First of all, make sure to choose a long-tail search phrase as a title for your article. Open Google AdWords’ Keyword Tool, and then type in the phrase that interests you and press the "Search” button. Take a good look at the "Competition” tab; if you are targeting a "high competition” search phrase, you have few chances to rank high on Google for it, so choose another phrase from the "Keywords ideas” list and start over. I do a little math here, measuring the number of direct competitors and the number of Google search results for the phrase I’m targeting, but the "Competition” column is good enough to get you started quickly.

What is Twitter? A microblogging platform that forces you to be concise by only allowing 140 characters / message (aka tweet).
How can Twitter serve your small business? - Establish relationships with potential clients, bloggers, thought leaders, etc. - Share information: promote your blog articles, news, webinars. - Build authority. - Follow and learn from power users. - Announce special offers. - Monitor your company / brand. Use Twitter’s search box to do that. - This should be your last goal: find customers. Use Twitter’s search box to look for people that might be interested in your products / services. Don’t be too salesy, though - you are going to scare them off for sure.
Get started with Twitter: - Set up a personal profile; make sure to customize your background, using a bitmap that contains your contact information. - Write an interesting, funny bio. - Put a link to your website. - Don't spam. Resist the temptation to over-promote yourself: post 4… ... >>full
I’ve always wanted to be a writer, and someday, when I was about 10 years old, I took a brand new pen and a brand new notebook, feeling that just by picking these tools I had won half of the battle already.
As time was passing by and the pages were still blank, the smile on my face was turning more and more into a frown. If you’ve also experienced the writer’s block, here are some ideas that will get your creative juices flowing.
1. Write down all your blog posts ideas as soon as you have them – they tend to disappear in only a few seconds.
2. Run a contest.
3. Write "How To" articles.
4. Get ideas from the top marketing experts, not necessarily from your industry, by subscribing to their newsletter; even well written spam messages can be useful sometimes ;)
5. Find a theme, and then write a series of ... >>full
Twitter is a great tool when it comes to promoting your business online. If you don’t have a marketing strategy yet or want to improve the existing one, here’s what you can do if you want to be successful with Twitter:
1. Promote your company online:
- Increase your company’s visibility, allowing it to reach a much bigger audience.
- Find targeted customers and engage with them using personalized direct messages (no spamming). Make sure to check out their profiles before sending them a DM. Target the potential customers by location, age, sex, education, interests, etc.
- Post information about your company’s products.
- Broadcast your company’s latest news.
- Create conversations about your company using contests, surveys, discounts, etc.
- Get a better position in the search engine results pages (SERPs) using your Twitter account.
If you’ve spent some time on Twitter, you know how fun it can be to just follow a trend and get a lot of useful or funny information. Nevertheless, there are times when you’d like to get involved and send out a powerful tweet that attracts hundreds or thousands of people to your website, blog, etc.
If you’ve got a special offer or a great article, make sure to turbocharge it by following these rules:
1. Choose a good title for your offer. I could have used something like "Things You Can Do To Make Sure That Your Tweets Are Read By Lots Of People” for this article, but "3 Essential Secrets That Turbocharge Your Tweets”:
a) Is much shorter
b) Uses lists (I’m told that humans, as well as more advanced primates, like lists :)
