Clearly these two elements would work well in unison however in this article we will explain to you a few tips on how you can implement your own online marketing strategy using both marketing and SEO.

It is worth noting that without full implementation and investment in time and effort, results WILL vary.

So step one is realized. You now know that without any online marketing you are stunting the growth of your company. However like they say, “on the road to recovery we first have to recognize a problem exists.”

And now comes the work.

Firstly step one is the foundation. This being the domain name. Now not always is our domain as great as we would like however we need to recognize a couple things first in regards to the URL. Does the domain contain your keyword phrase that specifically hits your target market and is something they will search for? If so then you are well ahead of the game already. If not then we simply have to put in twice the effort in order to get it ranking for the desired keyword phrase.

Tip #1: Have target keyword phrase in your domain.

Secondly you absolutely must have your meta tags. ALL OF THEM. This includes meta title, meta description and meta keywords. And all of the elements together must work together in such a fashion that is not only readable by human standards but also strategic. Meta tags are the single most important factor to onsite SEO.

Tip #2: All pages MUST include meta tags: title, description and keywords.

Third and last for the SEO part of this self Costa Rica SEO and marketing guide is backlinking. Backlinks are the prime ingredient to offsite SEO and just happens to be the “food” Google loves. There are a few things to understand about backlinking though. Try to always acquire backlinks on sites that are equal to or high in PR than your own site. Also crucial, is the fact that these backlinks need to be on RELEVANT sites to your own market. So essentially a company selling lawn mowers might not want backlinking from an industry hydraulics site.

Tip #3: Acquire backlinks from relevant, high page rank sites to your own.

Now we move in to the Costa Rica marketing tips.

Of course the following should be done secondary to the first set of Costa Rica SEO tips.

Forums, blogs and commenting sections of sites are ripe for the picking. These are great places to achieve two key ingredients to this guide. Whenever posting on forums, blogs or making comments, one needs to be relevant to the conversation or topic. So don’t go out and SPAM and expect to be received well. While posting, it is important to always have your nick/name field, have your target keyword phrase and if/where possible, one link inside your actual post.

Tip #1: Self promo discreetly done can kill two birds with one stone. Backlinks and company promotion.

Videos. These days one of the most visited sites on the web is YouTube. People are loving the videos. Clearly creating some video content might help you attract some of that attention on YouTube. Keeping in mind no one wants to watch a commercial so have an informative video with a footnote at the end about how they can reach your company for more information.

Tip #2: Develop and launch informative useful videos on sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Socialize! Socialize! Socialize! This is relatively new to the marketing industry however if you were to compare it the ‘old school’ methods of advertising one might call it “networking”. Essentially you should have your company on Facebook, YouTube, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Digg, Delicious and the most dominant social site, Twitter. Once registered on all these sites you need to follow a strict routine of submitting articles to them using any URL shortener. However first and foremost, you need to acquire as many followers, subscribers and “friends” as possible. Simply put, without the listening public who will hear your announcement?

Tip #3: Socialize and get your articles and information on the social web via Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and more.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this self help guide for Costa Rica SEO and marketing and I wish you all the success in the world in your venture in to the online marketing world. Pura vida!

Chances are unless you’ve been completely living in the dark for the past couple of months – you’ve been hearing about the phenomenon called Twitter.com.

Twitter is quickly becoming one of the most amazingly popular social media networking sites on the World Wide Web. Now with over six million users (and growing) this microblogging site has attracted everyone from President Obama to NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

Twitter is the must-be-on place right now on their internet. It actually trumps Google but getting “real time” date about literally ANYTHING that is happening in our society today.

Admittedly, I didn’t jump on the Twitter bandwagon immediately. I heard about it over a year ago and I definitely underestimated the importance of how powerful this site really is.

But now, along with Facebook & YouTube, Twitter is one at the top of my priority list for Social Media.

So recently, a friend and colleague of mine was able to generate over 75 leads for his business just by sending out 1 tweet to his list of over 15,000 dedicated
followers.

How insane is that!?

75 Leads in 2 minutes…for FREE? Those same leads would cost $1-9 from a home based business lead provider. Say they averaged $4 each – that would have cost $300 for prospects that THEN YOU have to COLD CALL (blegh!)

Using Google AdWords? Probably would have cost DOUBLE THAT.

If you are looking to amass SERIOUS WEALTH online, then you need to be “tweeting.”

If you are new to marketing the YourNetBiz Opportunity you will soon come to see that it is not as easy as you thought.  There is a lot of conflicting information and strategies.

One 6 figure earner says this, and another says that.  So what happens?  You end up doing nothing!

I am talking from experience of marketing my primary businesses online my friend, take it from me it is hard work.  However if you stick to just a few strategies or even just one you stand a greater chance of success.

If you want YourNetBiz Success follow this guide and try and master these strategies:

1) Article Marketing – As you can see this is one of my favourites.  Write some quality articles and submit them to Ezine Articles. 

The reasons I submit to Ezine Articles is it is the most popular Article directory out there.  You can get large traffic to your website from the Ezine Article readers. 

Secondly because it is so popular the search engines love it.  So optimise your Articles for you chosen keyword and watch it rocket to page one in the search engines.

Articles allows you to provide some useful information to your readers and will in turn provide interest in you and your website.  Guess what? this will lead to YourNetBiz Success. 

2) Video Marketing – The power of a 2 minute video! This is a must have strategy.  Once you have chosen your keyword and written your article do a video on it. 

Limit your video to 2 minutes because the video community have a very short attention span.  Simply provide some brief info on the chosen keyword and close with a call to action.

Make sure you tell the video watcher what you want them to do after the video.  Place a link to your website in the description of the video to achieve this.

3) Social Media – This is a great way to add some fun to your marketing.  Let me be clear here, this is a very different approach to video and article marketing.

First you want to build a list of friends, then interaction.  Only when you have good interaction do you want to provide any link or info about your business.

You see the main focus on these web 2.0 sites is socializing, so don’t go in there blasting your business or website link to all new friends.

I personally use Twitter and You Tube for this.  Not many people remember that You Tube has a community within the site as well.  I recommend it because you can do video marketing and social media marketing in one site.

4) Sales Funnel – Regardless if you use one or all of these marketing strategies as long as you are consistent you will get leads.  Most people lose in marketing because they do not know how the top marketers get the most out of their leads.

The YourNetBiz Opportunity is a High Ticket business.  So the reality of it is 95% of your leads will not join you.  So what do you do with those 95% of the leads that say no?

Well I suggest you get paid for them.  Does that sound good?  The way to win and stay in the game is to effectively make your leads pay for your marketing effort.

The way to achieve this is to use a sales funnel that will allow you to make small commissions for the leads that say no to your primary YourNetBiz Opportunity.

If you follow my 4 tips above consistently you will achieve YourNetBiz Success.
