Marketing Tactics
Hub Pages and Squidoo Lens And Blogs Oh my!
Monday, September 29th, 2008No, this isn’t the Wizard Of Oz (my favorite movie in the whole world by the way), it’s Internet marketing. Okay Web 2.0 marketing, or maybe it’s article marketing. 
To put it simply creating content pages on social sites to spread my marketing messages around and get backlinks.
I don’t do enough of this much anymore, so it’s time to get back to doing more “message spreading” than just relying on joint venture partners. Don’t get me wrong. Thats still my number 1 way to get traffic to my product sites, but it’s time to start doing more again.
I’m going to be creating a daily marketing plan for each of my sites, and using this part of my blog to report what I’m doing. Now I may not post every day what I’m doing because that would just be posting the same information, but I do want to tell you what I did today to promote my new site www.MyVideoCashMachines.com
This site teaches you how to use video marketing to make affiliate cash. Find a product to promote as an affiliate, use video marketing the way I teach you, and you’ll make money.
Simple right? It is…
So to start promoting this site (by the way it does have a 100% commission affiliate program at myvideocashmachines.com/?action=affsignup) I had 15 articles written on 3 different keywords. 5 articles per keyword. I took 3 of those articles (all focused on one keyword phrase) and submitted them to EzineArticles.com and GoArticles.com
Those are basically the only two that I submit articles to anymore. Why? Because they give me the most traffic. Submitting to hundreds of article directories just isn’t working anymore, so I want to put my time where I’m getting something in return.
After submitting those 3 articles, I created a Squidoo Lens at www.squidoo.com/fastestwaytomakemoney with 1 article and a Hub Page at hubpages.com/hub/fastestwaytomakemoney with another article.
I created both of these pages with original content. I think that’s key to success with these sites.
Now I’m off to read…
1. Hub Page Cash Machine - www.ThisKicksButt.com/HubPageCashMachine
2. Ultimate Squidoo - www.ThisKicksButt.com/UltimateSquidoo
To get a better education on using Squidoo and Hub Pages.
Over the next few days I will take the other 10 articles (5 on another keyword phrase related to video marketing and the other 5 on yet another keyword phrase related to article marketing) submit 6 to the article directories and use the other 4 to make 2 more squidoo lenses, and 2 more hubpages.
I’ll update you, when I have done this, so you can see some examples of how you can be doing the same thing.
So far the new marketing list for this site looks like this:
1. Article marketing
2. Hub pages
3. Squidoo lenses
Once all of this is done, I’m also going to be testing eBay classified ads. I read Auction Classifed Cash (www.ThisKicksButt.com/AuctionClassifieds) and want to test it out.
All coming soon, and a ton more.
Point of this post?
To show you that marketing is about doing several things to get traffic to your site. There may be 10 things that you do, and maybe 4 of those you’ll do on a daily basis, but you’ve got to make a plan, test to see what works, and keep what works on a “to do” list.
