So You Want To Build an Email List

Build your email list!

Heard that before somewhere?

It is so prevalent that it is like mosquitoes  in a Florida swamp!

I’ve been working lately, on building an email list after having a WordPress

Website since March 5, 2011.

When I first got started working on Al Gore’s  Internet,

everything I saw was about “Get a Domain name and a Host.”

From there I moved on to trying to make the site look as nice as possible with my free  WordPress theme.

It finally penetrated a few months ago, you can blog all day til the cows come home,

but if Google, who controls 90% or so of search engine traffic doesn’t have you on their

You are Invited to the Party

list as one of those 10  super stars  who are really welcome….then hang it up as far as getting traffic to your site.

Those cute little banner ads will be nothing more that some colorful decoration on your pages.

They might break up the monotony of the landscape and make you feel like you are really doing some Marketing, but what you are doing is spinning your wheels.

So, being me…in case you haven’t met me, I decided to check out a few Email Guru’s.

Here is something I snagged from Frank Salinas…snatched right out of an email he sent to me.

Demo of EZ Share Generator

It is all about a cute little piece of software that you can get access to by clicking on this link,

I WANT TO CHECK IT OUT!

This is what Frank has to say about that EZ share Generator

“Brand New Software Quickly And Easily Gets You Unlimited Amounts Of Targeted Traffic From Facebook, Google & Twitter Without Being A Computer Genius Or Fancy Pants Programmer…Guaranteed”

Just for the fun of it you also get a nice  Report with lots of links to some of Franks favorite tools

that he uses for keeping his email business ticking.   And a link from me on the very bottom of the last page for another gimmie!

The total cost of just an email address…make it a good one, cause there are some more Gimmies on the way!

Scan all the way to the bottom inside the report and click the link,  A super bonus is awaiting.

Knowing someone makes it easier to spend a little money!

Well, back to building an email list, I bought a 100 clicks from a friend on Facebook…cause I know what kind of guy he is.   Might even share his name with you, if you want to visit https://www.Facebook.com/InternetMoneyStore and leave a comment on something and ask me for a link to my Solo Ad guy.

Only ordered 100 clicks, wonder if he over delivered?

According to what I’m learning, I need to set up a click tracker…but the one recommended is

not quite in my budget ….maybe later when I have a miracle list and learn how to use it to get my friends to visit Skipper Works!

Talked to my friend the first day and he said my click through rate was 60%….”They must have

liked it!”

Have you started an email list yet?  I’ve looked and tried and dithered around,  putting off getting started….Well, I’m in!

And added another job to the schedule….Email Copy writing.

Have you built an email list yet?

How long did it take to get up to about 500 if you have?

And another question, do you think an email list is worth the time, work and money that you

invest to get it going?

Thanks for your input,  I know it takes time, but will be appreciated!

SEO Keywords for the Future: Audio not Written Text

Is the future of SEO and Keyword Optimization Changing?

Is the future of SEO for keywords wrapped in Oral queries and not what you type in on your PC or mobile keyboard?
I started my morning with my usual habit: Log into C-panel and check the links in awstats on SkipperWorks, trying to figure out what keywords are being linked to!

If you aren’t in the know, I’ve had a huge problem with this nice collection of Chinese bots…haven’t figured out if they are really searching for information or just spamming my site…I mean 1,868,323 “Hits” so far this month and going strong.

They all link to one article….every one. I had almost as many 400 errors as hits from them. Took a chance and changed the title of the article…just added one word to the front end of the title and edited the perma link.

My Chinese bots dutifully followed the article, so now I am getting a soup can full of 302s instead of 400s.

But this interesting experiment isn’t what I want to talk about today!

Do You Spend To Much Time Learning SEO and not Doing?

I, unfortunately tend to stay to much in the “learning” phase of blogging, instead of the Doing it Now and make some needed cash! Just to put things into perspective, I definitely have a deficit when it comes to doing my SEO….find a good keyword and some extras and write an article including them all.

Think I was following a link from Lisa Magoulas and ended up on Moz.com and started reading an article by Will Critchlow about using voice queries to do searches on the phone….

His initial take was that voice navigation instead of typing in keywords wasn’t going to make it!
In his own defense he presented a lot of reasons why he came to this conclusion….The whole article is here: http://moz.com/blog/i-think-i-might-have-been-wrong-about-voice-search for your convenience in checking it out!

To make a long story shorter, Will thinks  that Google has developed and is refining  the process of doing “audio or voice” searches which combines minimum input with your personal information to return the results you want immediately.

Remember that laughed at social sharing thing called Google + that hardly anyone uses?   Hangouts?  Google Chat?

SEO and Your YouTube Videos…Sound Counts as Much as Text?

I know from listening to Ray Lane the Video Guy that he recommends repeating your YouTube video title and your major keyword (which should be in the title) when you begin talking on your videos…all for the SEO benefits…

He seems to think that these “Audio” keywords are just as important or even more important than those tags we enter and keywords sprinkled into the description.

Since Keyword optimization is part of my active quest for ranking my site (wrong goal, Google ranks Pages not sites!) I was happy to run across this article and some of the gold included.

It all goes back to why some of my videos rank quickly and others just sit there unless I Tweet or Facebook them to get some traffic! Definitely videos with a voice over, even not keyword optimized seem to do better than the ones with music.

Since you can now end up with a Google or is it Youtube transcription on your video…should you be doing your own transcript and attaching it to your videos?

If one is attached, you can edit it and include your marvelous keywords in the first line and sprinkle them down in the body and at the end….just as if you were writing an article to post on your blog…

Somewhere I read that the transcript doesn’t even need to make sense, just give the “robots” an indication of what the video is all about.

The reasoning was that most transcripts furnished by Youtube often don’t reflect exactly what is being said in the video…so the theory expounded was just add your keywords where you want them.

Which brings me to the real reason I was so interested in this article about Voice Querying instead of typing in keywords. I am looking for a program that will take the audio from a video and type it out for you….Instant transcript…instead of paying a service (can’t afford right now) to do the time consuming work for you.

I’ve looked at several add ons in Google Chrome but they aren’t rated that reliable just yet.

Anyone have the name or a link to a program they have used to produce transcripts that doesn’t break the bank?

I’d be interested…leave a comment and let me know!

Just below are two links for some really interesting info on SEO…I am an affiliate for both..so be warned!  But they explain it so much better than I can here…worth reading the sales page for the good…think both also give away a free ebook just for looking.

Review: How to Get over 850,000 Visitors Per Month to your Website

How to Get Visitors to your Website  is something you should know before you set up a site

Knowing how to get visitors and generate traffic to your website is always the first thing you should

think about when setting up a blog or website, because if you don’t have traffic, why bother!

Since I am in the same bucket as most of the people I talk to on Facebook,

Twitter (short conversations) and groups I belong to on Facebook and Blogs where

I “hang out” , we share the same problem that affects us all:  A source of

continuous returning traffic.   Not enough traffic…no money…not even adsense!

As part of my solution of this common problem: “How to Generate Website

Traffic” I decided to do some research.  Since I have a great program (You can

look at it by clicking here) for the basics that needs to be done to generate

website traffic I wanted something more.

I have a program that will search for YouTube videos using whatever keyword

or words that are input.  After I got the results, I filtered them by likes and number

of comments because I wanted results that people liked and talked about.

I hit the Jackpot with the first video I chose to look at:  How to Get over 850,000

Visitors Per Month to Your Website. 

The video made me think of my Friend Sergio  who runs one of my favorite

hangouts  Marketing with Sergio  and one of his very first videos.

Don’t know why these guys think they have to mount a camera in the car and talk

to you while driving down the road.  Guess it’s a “guy” thing, but I really think I

saw a similar video series by a well know “Guru” so I’m thinking it is copy-cat.

Who, What, When and Where!

Back to the Jackpot Video.  Kyle Graham creator of Ambidupdate.com met up

with David Risley head honcho at PCmech.com for an outdoor interview.  Not

recommended in Tampa, Florida  where the Gulf breeze blows like a mini

hurricane any time it wants to.

Standing outside of Chilis after lunch, Kyle asked David the Jack Pot Question:  “We

want to know how you get 850,000 visitors a month to PCmech?” 

Answer:  David didn’t hesitate, he said, “We probably post at least 3 times a day.

My partner and I post 3 to 4 times a day and the second thing we do is give away

good quality information.  Free….giveaway….quality   all extremely important

words.  People will come back if they can find a lot of things they need on one

site.”

Next question:  Why does your site rank so well with Google?

Answer:  “It is a WordPress Blog and blogs are search engine friendly to begin

with, plus when we do articles we try to include our keywords in the article title

and the subject line and in the blog post body.  So, when someone searches

Google, we get found.  If we get found, many return.  Also we do have opinions

and sometimes people disagree with us.  After all, it is a blog, so a little

controversy once in awhile doesn’t hurt.”

Dave also expounded, “Every article or post asks them to subscribe to Rss feed

or email newsletter.”

There was a brief after the interview p.s.  that included a reference to using

Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.   Kyle concluded that regular posting of helpful

quality information has to be the base for whatever you are doing to get traffic to

your site.

I have posted the video below to save you the trouble.  Be sure to take notes, there is

some good information that I haven’t included here.

Generate Website Traffic

If you’re an online marketer, you always need to

generate consistent traffic to your site on a

daily basis.

Once visitors arrive at your site, hopefully a certain  percentage of them will  become your subscribers or leads.

This is called constant lead generation, and every successful business always have some kind of lead generation system in place.

The question is, do you have a Lead generation system in place?

If you don’t have a lead generation system,  you need to have one if you want your business to be successful.  Ask any marketer who is successful in making money on the internet and if he is honest his first words will be, “You need to build a list from the first day you set your site up ready for visitors.”

If you already have a lead generation system then you  could always improve on your current  system.

(Hey, you can’t really get too much traffic, can  you?)

There is a  viral marketing software that is now available to install rather like a WordPress Plugin but with an endless list of options like walking you through creating  a squeeze page,  a download page for your gift for opting in and provides security so each person must sign up to receive their gift.  No more sharing the download code!  Click below if you are in a hurry….very nice video and a whole page of options for using this system!

Here is where you can find out more, just click and Go!

This software automates your viral campaigns so that you get traffic day in and day out.  However, I want to stress that this is NOT a magic, push-button solution. Push-button solutions do not exist.

You still need to set it up the first time.

But,  with this software in your hands, generating new visitors to your site will become a semi-autopilot process and will make your life so much easier.

Go read more about this premium lead generation system and how it  brings  in yet more traffic to your site.

READ MORE.

To Your Success,
Cararta

PS. You do know that push-button magic solutions do not exist right?   Stop living in fantasy land, wake up to reality, and start doing things “smartly” from now on…

You get what you work for and nothing more.  No Magic, just do what you need to Do.
