1: WEB DESIGN + DEVELOPMENT: Most small businesses websites don’t succeed because it doesn’t provide a compelling experience for consumers who visit their site. You can’t afford to see your website as a static platform. It must develop at least every month. Continued commitment to developing website design and content that more effectively express your brand as well as help your customers to get the information they need to buy from you means they are confident to make purchases, and sales happen. If your website

2: PPC MANAGEMENT / ADWORDS: Pay per click advertising on Google and other content networks is the fastest and most powerfully qualified option for advertising spending in 2009. With as little as $20 p/week you can begin highly measured and precisely targeted campaigns with us on Google Adwords. Adwords is great for any service business or business offering high value products and is even more effective when targeting genders, age groups and cities/regions. Even amateurs can return positive ROI advertsing on Google through Adwords but experience in using the PPC can lead to radically enhanced results.

3: BLOG PROMOTION: Blogging is still a top strategy for small business marketing as long as it doesn’t interfere with normal operations. A well maintained blog developed over months has so many advantages in reinforcing your whole online marketing effort from SEO, customer service, website development, the work put in to build a lively and dynamic blog will never be wasted. We provide blog set up, blog design, blog promotion and can even create content and run your blog for you.

4: ONLINE VIDEO: Online video is yet to flex it’s muscles as the new power in online marketing. Buyers seek engagement, trust and authority with products, service providers and brands. They seek stories that give commodities and their brands value and credibility and video is the most powerful way to engage people and quickly create trust, authority as well as impact. Businesses using videos will have a much greater opportunity to appeal to visitors, and more importantly online video is only going to get bigger and continue to steal more influence from traditional TV.

5: SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION AND MARKETING: Search engine marketing is still the most powerful marketing technique accessible to entrepreneurs on small budgets, but precisely for this reason that SEO finds itself at #5 on this list. SEO is competitive. SEO is a challenge for new websites. Ranking highly in Google for your favoured keyword search terms is better than any advertising and would give you unmatched access to your market. But the results of SEO work can vary. A Successful SEO campaign takes research, it requires a lot of tedious tasks, and that of course costs. I will underline how powerfully effective our SEO can be but you must have the patience and commitment for it if you are in a competitive niche.

6: EMAIL MANAGEMENT AND MARKETING: Maintaining relationsips with a client database through email marketing is still one of the most powerful ways to generate dependable recurring revenue. We provide professional email management solutions for all our clients, but those who are interested in email marketing should know you will have to build your contacts first through other online marketing efforts, most often a blog, and then maintain your mail out, which is going to need content. Once you can graduate to greater levels of automated email marketing, you can implement powerful systems to create wealth with minimum maintenance.

7: SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING: Anyone who tells you they are a social media expert had better be ready to back that up with proof. Social Media is not a strategy for ROI. The aim of social media is to build meaningful relationships with engaged social media users who have the power to build a powerful, authoritative and authentic word of mouth. Just like blogs, building a strong social media presence has many benefits for small businesses, but must remain practical in terms of the bottom line.

8: Article Marketing: Article Marketing leverages written content for exposure that can be syndicated far and wide to provide exposure to click through traffic as well as considerable SEO benefits. Article syndication as well as freelance article creation is offered as part of our general online marketing strategies. If you don’t have time to build your web presence, it’s better we create monthly content for you then having no new content at all.

9:Viral Marketing: More powerful than spreading ideas is building an idea that spreads itself. Whether a video or other media, the essntial concept is the power of an idea to proliferate by way of online sharing. The success of a Viral Marketing campaign is never assured and taking risks to put forward powerful branding messages or leverage powerful value propositions that engage so deeply that it spreads online or through word of mouth is a longshot but always has the potential to be outrageously successful with a bit of character and flair.

10: Community building: Again building a community around your brand makes long term commitment and personal contribution unavoidable. You can’t just create community based loyalty to a brand overnight. Certainly, strategies to nurture your community and provide functionality by way of a forum or other platforms to encourage different kinds of interaction and user driven content creation around your brand can be provided easily and inexpensively, but early on there will need to be a dedicated effort to inject activity into the community space. This can be more time consuming and long range than many small businesses are prepared for.

Time for some more online marketing strategies!

But you must keep your blog updated, because Google likes that. Likes fresh content, and if you’re starting out in the early days, you can get away with being a bit stale and stuffing your keywords like music marketing and music management and online music strategy and stuff.  Yummy yummy keywords.

Once you’ve built your brand, you’ve got something to look after, but when you’re all about pushing the innovative propositions and the unique selling point like me, then, well really we’re just leveraging our blog for another way to create revenue.

Instead I basically just veered off - zeroing in on the hot money on and getting my youtube video promotion site happening.

Because like a good businessman I remember cash is king, and it’s the activities that we chase for the short term income that ensure our long term survival. I’m working with musicians and kid’s entertainers and local small businesses and online entrepreneurs not only using online tools, using a digital mindset to pursue more innovative offerings and interactions, but really looking at how we can use these online chance to really get moving along in terms of the hot money, the now cash.

So what’s happened is that I’m finally learning to manage my company a little better and things are going really great.

The NZ dollar has sunk which means I’m getting great money overseas and rather than kiwi and also Aussie businesses who are in the same boat getting grumpy, it’s time to read the writing on the wall and recognise that I collect half my pay in US$ and that’s sweet money. Focusing on NZ is just completely short sighted.

Leverage your local market where you can for now, but you gotta think like me - you want $US and Euro’s - you want real money! That’s where your focus is for actual dollars leveraging  high value online offers.

The NZ dollar is not going to get back up soon, so listen to what I’m saying.

But yeah all this activity hasn’t left much room for my blogging. I’m working on some posts talking about getting more into video if you’re serious about building an online platform for your business, mainly because the value of SEO may be ready to tip soon in favour of the REAL engagement offered by online video.

But honestly I feel it’s time for a good hard look at blogging again.

Now that I’m making a decent living and I can now reflect more on that now that it’s more under control and less of a struggle - you really have to weigh up what resources you have at your disposal to leverage for income as soon as possible.

I posted a lot recently about getting more lean and mean in your promotion and revenue efforts, and it led me to the point of saying - sure - for example, I love writing, I’m fairly good at it, and I love sharing information knowing that it helps to build my brand.

BUT it takes almost 7+ hours a week out of my working schedule, and in terms of immediate revenue, that crucial money we need to build now in o to leverage later on, it’s not paying off.

I’m making more money launching new services and concepts, developing - and most importantly - executing new propositions and ideas. Bu tobviously that’s because not only do I have the knowledge, but I also have the cash behind me now to confidently push new areas and try new projects, sniff, sniffing for the cash that keeps us alive in it.

Building a business brand is a long term investment. If you’re going to stay in it you’ve got to maintain forward momentum, and burning your self out on non income related projects isn’t sustainable, especially if it’s based around some concept of how it works, when in terms of small business for most, it’s not actually working at all.

But when your product is low value then your basically on a long road to get anywhere. You’re rolling on square wheels.

But we want the digital future now. And we need the leverage thatincome now.

So as before, it’s best to keep your blog updated, because google likes it fresh.

And do the same: Do video’s,do podcasts, do content that engages.

until you can get to where I am, and once considering the value of developing content you can leverage to develop your brand, you can then leverage your brand/knowledge/experience/talent in new ways with new propositions - like I have to make more money, faster and easier.
