Tips and Techniques on Online Internet Marketing

This series of articles is all about Internet Marketing, or Online Marketing – the process of marketing your website online and attracting targeted visitors to it.

It’s far better to have 1,000 visitors a day, 10 of whom buy something, than 10,000 none of whom buy anything. So the emphasis in all these articles is about quality, not quantity.

There are articles on Social Marketing, PPC, affiliate marketing and other tips and techniques on how to market successfully online.

If you’re new to working online my free eCourse on how to set up a business online may be helpful.

It’s free (did I mention that!?) and it covers the principles of Internet Marketing and Search Engine Optimisation, as well as taking you step-by-step through the process of finding a business, doing market research, finding a product (if you don’t already have one) and setting up an effective website.

You can find it here.

My Adwords account was suspended last week, so here’s cautionary tale for anyone new to using Google Adwords. And please note: this is not a whining post. I broke Adwords’ terms and conditions and my account was suspended. Fair cop. The point of this article is to help Adwords newbies realize just how easy it [...]

I’m currently working with a client on the second version of an eCommerce site. The first version had a clean, attractive design, but it suffered from a slow load time and numerous little glitches.

My opt-in list has never grown all that quickly. For most of the time I’ve had an opt-in form on my site I’ve been getting up to 6 a day, or thereabouts. No more than that. And my list was not all that responsive either. There are lots of factors that contribute to this, including [...]
