Part 2: The Landing Page System

Today we will talk about the Landing Page System. In the beginning I didn't think having a Landing Page was a good idea. That is until I began talking to some of my friends over at the Warrior Forum (WSO) See, what most people miss out on is the ability to capture leads. When setting up a PPC campaign, you want to make money of course, but you want that long money. That is money that comes from repeat visitors and customers who are not quite ready to buy. The customers who aren't ready to buy need convincing, stroking and more information about you and your product. A Landing Page with a free offer is the perfect way to do this. Here is part 2 on setting up a successful landing page system that captures leads and converts sales.

Tips To Gain Control Over Diabetes

{GUEST POST} I'm publishing this post because my 23 year old son died six years ago from diabetes complications.  He was Type 1 and developed the disease while just nine months old.  He lived his life on insulin within the restrictions of his disease.  Here is an article that may shed light on other ways to manage your diabetes. How to Control Diabetes & Inflammation by Roberta Kleinman, RN, M.Ed., CDE Inflammation and diabetes, or is it diabetes and inflammation? Research now tells us that these conditions are definitely related, although they are not completely sure of the sequence. We do know that chronic inflammation can play a part in insulin resistance, high glucose levels, and high lipids; chronic low level systemic inflammation is also tied to obesity since fat tissue can release inflammatory molecules. Low level chronic inflammation can increase the aging process and break down the endothelial lining of the vascular system; this leads to complicatio...

10 Ways To Use Press Releases with Social Media

Just read this great article on Forbes,  Should You Post Press Releases In Social Media? - Forbes .  It touches on that great delineation between social media and Press Releases.  Most marketers shy away from Submitting a Press Release  because for one, no one likes to write them, and they appear self serving. The question becomes, how do you blow the horn about a new product and still keep it conversational? A recent digital readiness study shows "marketing decision makers  knowledge of social networks (80%), blogging, podcasting and RSS (87%), and micro-blogging (72%) is either important or very important when it comes to PR and marking hiring."   Social media of course, spreads messages; but only messages that have relevance, not self-serving ones. Authenticity along with a sprinkle of personality will get your messages shared more frequently.   Not like the bragging boy in the neighborhood, everyone ignores him, so will they ignore your pres...

How to Protect Your Credit From Thieves

You know these are trying times.  With so many people unemployed, the economy is up and down, and some people who have given up hope have become desperate individuals.  It's no wonder most of my friends don't feel safe anymore.  One of my relatives had to go through a horrible ordeal to get her credit restored when she had her identity stolen on one of those social networks.  It was a very expensive process, and she had to spend so much time contacting creditors, making copies of letters, getting a police report, etc.  It just seemed like she spent so much time backtracking her life, so that thieves couldn't continue to rack up huge bills in her name while destroying her good credit.  I never want to have that happen to me. That's when I started looking into different ways to protect myself online and while shopping.  Thieves are so smart now, that they can even steal your credit card information while you are out shopping!  Just last week my...

Keywords In Adwords Can Not Stand Alone

In my quest to conquer Google Adwords, I realize that a well performing campaign is only as good as its landing page or lead capture page and the follow up messages it employs.  Let me explain. Most marketers believe they only need to create a well written Adwords campaign and make a good buy on the keywords, then they can just sit back and watch the money roll in.  Not so.  A good Adwords campaign consists of a great engine, a good behind the scenes marketing foundation.  Like the sound engineers and lighting geniuses working a concert to insure Beyonce` looks and sounds good, so must your Adwords campaign.  A landing page only captures the lead, the follow up messages to that lead are what converts the lead into a sale.  Using social media marketing can help with that.  Take a look at what social media marketing actually does for a marketer who intertwines Google Adwords, lead capture, and email marketing into one powerhouse marketing strategy. ...

On my way to Google Adwords School!

I have spent lots of hard earned cash on Google Adwords campaigns. Unfortunately,  I believed I needed to lose money before I made it.  Even other affiliate marketers shared this bit of warped wisdom that the only way to make money with Adwords campaigns successfully is to blow your budget first then go back and evaluate the mistakes.  Wrong Wrong Wrong! In a few months I will jump in the pool again, the pool which is called Google Adwords.  This time my PPC marketing strategy has taken a better route. I've been studying to become a Certified Google Adwords professional.  Getting certified by Google Adwords involves studying then taking tests & quizzes to advance to the next level of knowledge. The certification process begins with the most basic of internet advertising teaching.  However,  the course builds on the different tenements of Adwords advertising. The challenge is to successfully complete the certification process not just to become a C...
