Aside From Facebook, What Other Free Online Marketing Tools Do I Need Use To Sell My Offer?

This is one of the common questions asked by online entrepreneurs on how to market their product using other digital marketing tools aside from Facebook as one of the most popular social media sites in the world.

So here are some that are not so familiar to you but used by many in promoting their product in the internet:

1. Twitter – You can share your product through a tweet in this site same as sharing in Facebook but has a character limit of 140 characters. But the site announced that in the coming there will be changes in the count depending on tweets or responses.

2. Linkedin – This social media site also has millions of users and mostly employers and job seekers so your offer might be noticed if you’ll try posting it here.

3. Youtube – Of course, the number one video sharing site where you can share your self-made videos about yourself and your product. Just be creative and someone will find your offer in this site.

4. Slideshare – This is a document sharing site where you can upload presentations in Powerpoint (PPT), DOC and in PDF format (e-book). Also shared by thousands of users around the world and same with Youtube, creativity and being informative is the key.

5. Google+ - This is also part of Google’s sites in social media platform. You can share your offers here but make sure that you provide value first to avoid being ignored.

6. Blogger – This is another Google site for free blogging. You can create free blog that will showcase your product. There are many tweaks you can make here aside from being a free blog interface; you can also create a squeeze page if you already have a third party autoresponder service. You are free to put links, pictures, videos (embed) and many more.

7. Tinyurl.com and bit.ly – These are URL shortener sites that you can use to avoid being banned in social media sites while posting your affiliate or business links.

8. Clickmeter – This is a link shortener and tracker site. You can shorten your links here and monitor traffic that comes to your links. It has free and paid membership which is useful if you are handling many links.

9. Pinoy Forum Sites – Start as a member and comments on questions that you know. Once you spend a week in a site, you can edit your signature and put the link of your product. Comment as often to get noticed. Top Philippine forum sites: Symbianize, Pinoy Exchange, Pinoyden, PHcorner, Pinoy Money Talk, etc.

10. Email Marketing Tool/Autoresponder – If you’re serious with your business, you might want this badly since it can help you build your list of prospects whom you can promote your business thru email in a regular basis and you can also do follow ups. Monthly subscription is required in this service though but you can try their free trials for one month. This will automate the process of promoting, prospecting, selling, closing, and then get sales. Here you can implement squeeze page or landing page to connect with your targeted buyers. Example: GetResponse, Aweber, Mailchimp, etc.

11. Domain name and hosting – Talking about serious online business, these two are partners. To be able to reach the whole world without too much promotion, running a hosted blog is an advantage. So domain name as the name of your site and web hosting to host your files. This also requires monthly or annual subscription that’s why it’s for serious online marketers aiming for long term business. Example: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Bluehost, Hostgator, iPage, etc.

12. Classified Ads – There are many of these sites that you can post ads for free. You may try this since many users are searching opportunities from these sites.

13. Weebly – This is also another free site for blogging or making landing pages of your product.

14. Wix – Drag and drop site for blogging and business purposes with comes with templates and nice GUI.

15. Webinars – If you want your prospects to see you presenting your product live, then secure one of these sites that offers webinar event capability.

There are a lot of online marketing tools to mention and I’m giving you now the opportunity to figure the rest out.

Good luck and please share this if it helps. Thank you.

How To Sell Products Online Using Video Presentation?

The first thing you need to have before you can achieve getting a sale online is Belief and it depends on the level of your belief. Example if you’re selling something about body building, you need to be the believer first of your offer. This is what your customer is checking if you yourself are also using that product before you introduce it to others.

Here are the important factors that you need to consider in creating

1. Intro – This is made up of three basic components: your story, greetings, and attract attention

a. Your story - This is the part where you can share your story on how you encountered the product and what are your struggles before you found this product. Example: you are very thin before but when you used this product, you gain weight and grow your muscles.

b. Greetings - This is the part where you can greet your intended viewers and customers. This will address the audience that this video presentation is for them. Example: To those who want to build their body like John Cena, hello to you or this product is for you.

c. Attract attention – With the term itself, it already explain the things that you need to do to catch the attention of your viewers. This is also the part where you need them to hold on to you and make them finish the video because you have something to offer at the end. Example: You need to finish this video in order to know what are the basic exercises that can build your muscles fast.

2. Ask or address the problem – This is where you will address a related problem to your product and point out the benefits that they can get using your product.

a. Ask a question which will be specifically addressed by your product. Example: Do you want to be fit?

b. Mention the problem that they have encountered and how did they got into it. Example: Being thin made girls ignore you. Something like that.

c. Put salt – Mention the worst part if they will not going solve or address that problem. Example: How do you look today will still be the same in the coming years if you will not do something about it.

3. Present solution – This is the part where you need to provide a solution to the problems mentioned earlier.

a. This is what I got – Present the name of the product. Example: This is StonyPacks, a product for building your body and growing your muscles.

b. This is what it will do for you – This is the main entrance of the benefits that you need to highlight for the customer to understand its uses. Example: This product has free DVD with proven routines on how you can build your muscles fast in two weeks.

c. SWAT – Short for so what? If you mention a solution, always ask ‘what’ after every solution or you need to increment the benefits that it can give or solve the problem. Example: If you use this, you will learn self-discipline; when you’re disciplined, you’ll never get tired to exercise every day, you’ll never get tired of waking up early, and so on… 

4. Proposal – This is where you’ll ask them if they’re interested. This is also the part where you need to address what’s holding them back to refuse your offer or check it later.

a. Price juxtaposition – This is where you have to compare the price of your product to other alternatives which might cost them a lot of money if they will not buy your product. But, you need to do this in a mild tone and still consider the customer’s decision by saying “It’s your decision…” which makes them think and realize this time.

5. Close – If all the steps above are done, then this is the part where you lead the customer to the product page or to the procedure on how to get this product, and this is called leading. Call To Action or CTA is also important to specifically instruct them on what to do if they want to learn more or purchase the product right away. It could be instructing them to click the link, button, or email you to get the product.

So that’s it! I hope you’ve learned something from this simple but useful strategy on how to sell products online using video presentation and make sure that you apply this if you are into business which I’m sure the reason why you’re reading this article.

Please share to those in need. Thanks.

May negosyo ba sa internet na walang puhunan?

Ang sagot sa tanong na ito ay MARAMI.

Ito ay mga websites na may ipapagawa sayo katulad ng pag-click ng list of websites, pagnood ng Youtube videos, or pag-refer ng referrals at marami pang iba.

Pero ito ang sasabihin ko sayo – dati din akong member ng mga sites nay an kaya lang, sa tagal ng ginagawa ko ng paulit-ulit lang, napaka-konti ng kinita ko at di nga makaabot ng Php1000 kung iko-convert mo sa peso kasi mostly ay US sites ang mga yan.

May chance din talaga ng kumita sa mga yan, kaya lang noong time ko ay wala akong alam kung paano i-promote ng tama kaya walang magandang nangyari.

Kaya ang maida-dagdag na sagot sa tanong na yan ay – MARAMI nga kaya lang aabutin ka ng ilang taon para kumita ng halagang gusto mo.

Ngayon ang tanong ko sayo, gusto mo pa bang sumali sa mga internet opportunity na walang puhunan?

Parang ayaw mo na diba? Kasi parang nagsasayang ka lang ng oras at wala ka naming napala.

Ang logic kasi ng mga free sites na yan ay – i-offer nila ang free to join option nila pero pag member ka na dun mo na malalaman na limited pala ang mga options doon at kailangan mo pa ring magbayad para ma-avail mo ang MEDYO malaking kita kompara sa free member options.

Eto naman pag may puhunan…

Pag may puhunan ka at sumali sa isang online opportunity – nagbayad ng membership fee or tinatawag din na entrance fee, maa-access mo kaagad kung ano ba talaga ang offer ng online opportunity na sinalihan mo.

Halimbawa, kung online networking site yan nag-o-offer ng products para mapakinabangan mo at mapagkakitaan mo, automatic access kaagad at hindi limitado ang pag-gamit mo sa site na binigay sayo (dashboard) lalo na kung may training na ino-offer dahil makakapagsimula ka kaagad na i-educate ang sarili mo ng hindi mo kailangan na maghintay na i-upgrade pa ang membership mo.

Parang tv lang yan, kung di ka nakasubscribe sa cable may mga tatlong channels ka lang pero kapag nakasubscribe ka na binabayan mo every month syempre may more than 50 channels ka (depende sa plan).

SO ngayon, gusto mo pa rin ba ng negosyo sa internet na walang puhunan or dun kana sa may puhunan pero sulit naman at makakpagsimula ka kaagad?

Actually, it’s up to you. Ito ay isang idea lang para maliwanagan ka at makikita mo kung bakit okay ang may puhunan at alin ang mas kikita ka ng malaki.

Salamat sa pagbabasa nito at paki-share nalang kung useful para sayo.

Ano bang matututunan ko sa Ignition Marketing?

Marami ang nagsasabi na ang itinuturo daw dito ay matututunan mo lang sa Youtube, masi-search mo lang sa Google at kahit sa Facebook.

Ang comment ko ay OO at HINDI.

Bakit?

Oo dahil ang iba sa mga topics ay makikita nga naman sa Youtube at sa Google pero hindi lahat.

Hindi dahil ang matututunan mo sa Youtube at Google ay more on specific lang pero sa Ignition Marketing ang ituturo sayo ay simula sa concept, mindset, theory, application, strategy, goal at pati expansion gamit ang mga natutunan mo.

So, marahil hindi mo pa nakuha.

Personally ay OPT – Online Prosperity Training pa lang ang product na nabili ko sa company na to.

?ecret ?raining

May extended part ng training tungkol sa Sponsoring and Selling at kung paano mo i-maximize ang business mo. Grabeh! Hindi ka bibitawan hangga't natatama ang mindset mo dito sa training na 'to.

Konti lang pala ang training? Kung sa bilang ng modules tayo babase, konti nga lang talaga pero each module ay naglalaman ng 10 or more training videos from Coach Eduard, Mau and Binsoy.  

So far sa na experience ko sa training, nalaman ko na hindi pala madali ang pag-market ng tama. Kailangan pala ay may tamang mindset ka na syang magdadala sayo para ipagpatuloy mo ang business mo at kahit anong mangyari ay kailangang panatilihin mo ang pagbibigay ng value para sa customers mo para mas lumaki pa ang business mo at team mo.

Sa tingin mo, makakatulong ba to sayo? Kung Oo, good luck sayo at advice ko lang ay seryosohin mo pag papasok ka sa isang business dahil baling araw ito ang makapagbabago sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon mo ngayon sa buhay.

Maraming salamat!

Pakishare nalang po kung may natutunan kayo.  

Pwede ba akong mag-negosyo kahit may trabaho ako?

Ang sagot ay Oo naman.

Pero syempre dapat isipin mong mabuti kung ano bang negosyo ang gusto mong pasukin at dapat yung hindi nakaka-apekto sa trabaho mo.

Example 1: Call Center agent ka at gusto mong mag-negosyo din ng isawan. - Pwede rin. Kaya lang hindi ikaw ang dapat magbenta. Kailangang kumuha ka ng taga-benta kasi mahirap naman kung before or end ng shift mo ay ikaw pa ang magsi-setup at magluluto ng isaw.

Example 2: Bank teller ka at gusto mong mag-negosyo ng load. - Pwede pa rin pero gaya ng nauna, di mo rin yan magagawa habang naka-duty ka pa. Mahirap naman kung tuwing available ka lang sa bahay nyo magbebenta ng load. Kailangan mo rin ng taga-load habang naka-duty ka sa trabaho mo.

Gets mo? Sa dalawang halimbawa na nabanggit ko, isa lang ang common - yung magbebenta. So it means, pwede talaga mag-sideline, mag part-time o mag-negosyo kahit may existing na trabaho ka pa basta iba ang gagawa nito para sayo.

Ang kailangan mo lang ay idea ng isang negosyo, taong magta-trabaho para sayo at syempre puhunan para tumakbo ang business mo kahit nagta-trabaho ka ng 9-5 sa kompanyang pinapasukan mo.

Yan ang magiging system na magpapatakbo sa business mo ng paulit-ulit sa araw-araw. So kahit nagta-trabaho ka, ang negosyo mo ay nagta-trabaho din sa labas.

Sana ay makatulong ang tip na ito sayo. Salamat at good luck sa business na papasukin mo.
