Online Advertising doesn’t have to be daunting, it is what it is. Luckily in that department I have not had an issue with self promotion I feel if you achieve great things why not shout at the world that you did so and can for them.
 
 I can't tell you how many businesses I have seen with genius ideas but no clear direction and they all failed.
For other online advertising methods, i.e. inclusion on websites, make sure that you ask for the website’s statistics on their unique visitors per month. Monopolize Social Media

This will help you make a decision onto what type of advert to take out and whether the cost they are asking for is justified. Understandably this can be difficult if you have nothing to compare the statistics to, so to get around that ask for advertising costs and statistics from a few similar websites.

Now let's just say you aren't. Tony Robbins but you can make a smoking website. That gives your business constant viewing potential. Once your website is up and the domain name and hosting are still running, anyone at  any time can access your business online. We do a bit of everything at MSM.

You need to invest in a website to make it work. The best way to do this is through both traditional advertising and search engine optimization. Basically you need to tell people about your website to make it work and invest in people finding you when they search for a particular service.

Furthermore a website allows people viewing your website a greater understanding of what you provide. On a website you can describe your services and add images to give your potential clients a visual aid when deciding who they will use for a particular service. Monopolize Social Media

It is therefore very important to make sure what is included on your website is up to date, free of spelling and grammatical errors and has good quality images, as always first impressions are usually what makes the difference of getting a sale or not. A website is also great because it gives your clients various methods of contacting you i.e. telephone or email.

Nowadays more and more people are moving to the web to obtain a range of services. One example of this is using the web to buy groceries and goods online. It is more convenient for people to use the web for these services as it means it can be done at any time of the day which is important for people who work during the day and miss the chance to visit a premises. As mentioned above to run an online shop or booking service you need to invest in it to make it a success!

Websites are also one of the cheapest marketing tools out there already and if used properly can have the highest return on investment of any of your marketing spends.

A Website Performance Test Should be in Your Future

A Website Performance Test Should be in Your Future


There’s no denying the importance of optimizing your website for speed, but just how far should you go? Some pages (and maybe even yours) are in need of a major overhaul to meet customer expectations that are rising by the minute.

Is it worth the time and money invested? To put it simply: yes. Akamai Technologies published a study that surveyed 1,048 online shoppers and drew the following conclusions based on their experiences with eCommerce sites:

- 47% of people expect a web page to load in 2 seconds or less.

- 40% will abandon a web page if it takes more than three seconds to load.
- 52% of online shoppers claim that quick page loads are important for their loyalty to a site.
- 14% will start shopping at a different site if page loads are slow, 23% will stop shopping or even walk away from their computer.
- 64% of shoppers who are dissatisfied with their site visit will go somewhere else to shop next time.
   
Guess what? That survey was from 2009. Customer expectations have only escalated and probably more than you think. Advancements in technology always raise the bar, but what do these numbers mean exactly? Other than the obvious conclusion that humans are generally impatient in nature, it means that below average website performance can essentially shut the door on potential customers before they even have a chance to see what you offer. In other words, less money in your pocket!
   
So where do we go from here? First we need to analyze our website and see where it’s lacking. My favorite resource is GTmetrix because it gives you both the Yahoo! YSlow score and the Google Page Speed score. It gives you recommendations to increase overall speed and even prioritizes the categories so you know precisely where to focus your efforts to see the largest gains. The best part is, you can compare URLs to see how your site stacks up against your competitors. Pay close attention to the recommendations section. It’s free advice!



     I relied heavily on GTmetrix when designing the homepage for my eBook, and it paid off with a page load time of 1.25 seconds, a solid 97% score on the Google Page Speed test, and a respectable 85% score on Yahoo’s YSlow test. Not bad numbers, but there’s still room for improvement:



Other things to consider:

Faster Website means downloading pic like this in a qtr second

     Every second counts. First impressions are vital, and if your first impression is a clumsy, slow loading website, then you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Also keep in mind that more people are accessing the Internet through mobile devices now than ever before, so don’t underestimate the importance of a functional mobile version of your site. If those reasons weren’t enough to get the tweaking process rolling, Google also uses page load speed as a minor ranking factor. Although it’s not currently a major part of the algorithm, it’s a factor nonetheless.

4 Keys to a Good Pinterest Description

Pinterest is growing at an exponential rate. If you don’t have an account already, hopefully this article will convince you to jump onboard because it’s more than just a bandwagon. The virality of this network is unlike any other in the history of social networking and you’ll see why I favor Pinterest over other networks in just a few moments.

Everyone has a different approach to pinning their personal work, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that your description on every pin is vital. If you don’t get it right, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity to attract attention to your pins or even your website. So today’s focus will be on creating the right descriptions to get your pins noticed. Then I’ll show you exactly how powerful these tips can be!

A good pin description should contain 4 key elements:

-  It should stand out visually
-  It should be 100% relevant to the pin
-  It should have a call to action
-  It should be searchable

At this point you may be asking yourself how black text will accentuate your pin on a site that promotes colorful, visually stimulating imagery. Simple. In the same way that colors stand out on black and white, bold and black will stand out in a sea of colors. If you consider the typical description for a pin, it’s usually nothing more than a 5-10 word sentence with nothing compelling about it. So we need a way to counteract this and draw people’s attention to your pins. Since there’s no way to change your font type, the easiest way to add an element of bold is through the use of symbols. I prefer to grab them from this site:

Facebook Symbols: http://fsymbols.com/


It’s easy to go overboard with these—don’t. I would never use more than a couple, although I usually always stick to one since 500 characters worth of bold-faced smileys is a fantastic way to annoy your followers. Try to resist the urge!
Next, make sure your description is 100% relevant. There are some different schools of thought out there as to how much real estate you should be using in your descriptions. In fact, most people will recommend you completely fill all available space with a keyword stuffed caption. I prefer the opposite approach. I’ve found that people visit sites like Pinterest to see images, not read epic narratives. Keep it short and sweet with a couple solid keywords. Too many keywords without any structure can sound robotic. The interactions your pin receives will weigh more heavily on how your content ranks in searches than the number of keywords you include in a caption.

Third, we need a call to action. As part of your description, you should be convincing the reader to do something, preferably to click on your pin and/or link that you’ve placed in your description. If the original image is not yours, do not change the link. It’s poor pin etiquette and your site will lose some credibility in the eyes of the viewer. I prefer to add my link at the end of my description as long as it’s relevant to the pin. For example, if I own a site that sells funny t-shirts, and I find someone else’s pin of a funny t-shirt, I could repin the image with a caption that says, “Love this! See more t-shirts like this at: link to my website.” Boom. It’s short, sweet, relevant, and has a call to action with your link.

Lastly, we need to make the pin searchable. Again, short keyword descriptions are the most effective if you actually want people to read them. But before I place my link at the end, I input a few hashtags. Much like the symbols, it’s easy to go overboard with these. I limit myself to 1-3 hashtags per caption and found this to be a relatively safe number. Hashtags are clickable in Pinterest descriptions which makes them even more effective. So here’s how my descriptions typically look:

Bold symbol to attract the eye > Short, relevant description with a call to action > 1-3 relevant hashtags > relevant website link

                You see a lot of “relevant” in there? That’s because without relevancy, none of this works or makes any sense to do. Now, I love humor. In fact, I love it so much that I’ve made 4 special community boards for it: Funny eCards, Funny Texts, Memes & Rage Comics, and Anything Goes Humor. Not only that, but I even went the extra mile and made a Facebook fan page and a Google+ page dedicated to Pinterest humor. Nice! So how do I get people to “Like” my Facebook fan page? In exactly the same way I taught you. Check it out:

I posted 6 eCards to my board the other night and look what happened. The green circles in the graph represent those who left my original description the same, and the red circles represent those who changed my description:

Yikes! Less than 5 minutes to pin these eCards, and less than 24 hours later, here’s what we’ve gained: 32 new links to my fan page with unchanged descriptions pinned across several boards to hundreds of new followers. My Facebook fan page is only a few weeks old and has over 160 likes, all generated from using this strategy. Not bad! Pinterest content spreads like wildfire. Don’t miss out!
