Hi guys, I launched this week a new business to promote in a specific niche + a CB product associated with it. I would like to hear suggestions about how would be the best way to promote this business, using different traffic sources. I already created a FB Page, I will use Youtube (associated with the Page), and perhaps I start making some blog posts with links to the FB page and my videos to seek some organic traffic from google (or Squidoo/Hubpages would be better?). The idea is to make it the most consistent I can, using just a few Social traffic sources, and others if it is worth the effort, and concentrate the work just on those selected. What combination would you suggest to take into consideration?
Try to rank for product/services pages for specific keywords. You need to focus on anchor text link building either via guest blogging or article marketing will work.
Thanks for your responses guys, I liked the idea of Pinterest, I will evaluate it. Keep the suggestions going!
When you are starting a new business you should learn so many thing about this and you should try to do some different things.
Social networks is the first and most important step. You started with Facebook and Youtube already which is good. Pinterest, Quora, MySpace is a must as well. Try LinkedIn...why no mention of that in your strategy? Have you tried Social Bookmarking tools yet? Make sure you include your company's name in most popular online directories. It will give you the leads. Email marketing is becoming very effective too, try it out and don't forget to put your signatures wherever possible. Well, these are the first steps. Good luck!
My advice would be to try and ind relevant blogs that post content (whether video or otherwise) that's similar to the video you've created and ask them if they'll share it, or if they find it interesting.
when you are working on search engine optimization for your website, one thing that will be important is that you are able to collect backlinks. One of the most valuable places to get backlinks from is .edu sites, as these sites are highly regarded by search engines.
I suggest you use hubpages, create link wheels, and use YouTube for added exposure. Link exchanges are also very useful for product launches, so try to do this one as well.
There are a lot of promotion strategies that you can do to promote your business. It doesn’t really matter if is the old or the new technique because either way, this can help. If you are the old fashioned type try giving out flyers around your neighbourhood. And of course you have to take advantage of the social media. I heard that google + is excellent because it has a feature that lets you videoconference to up to 10 people. In this way you can get to know them better and present your product through this!
For most consistency: Landing page + blog, Youtube + FB, Web 2.0 properties (SEO) and try using software, it makes everything so much easier.
i think squidoo pages are one of those web 2.0 pages which will perfectly promote your new online business
