YouTube Keyword Suggestion Tool

Posted on by

YouTube Keyword Suggestion Tool – https://ads.youtube.com/keyword_tool

YouTube now provides you with a keyword suggestion tool all of their own. The Keyword Suggestion Tool searches only within YouTube so your results are different than Google’s.

Other than choosing a language and country that keywords are tailored to, YouTube’s keyword suggestion tool consists of three different ways to generate keywords: Descriptive words or phrases, YouTube video id or url, or by Demographics.

The first and default option, ‘Descriptive words or phrases’ lets you enter in a term and it will show related information.

Type in a keyword term or phrase and click the ‘Get keyword ideas’ button. Do not select ‘Don’t show ideas for new keywords’ unless you only want to see how many people are searching for only that one specific term.

Depending on what keyword term or phrase you used, your results may differ from the above example. Here you will see other related terms as well as the monthly search volume and an option to add that term to your Adwords account. There may be terms that have ‘Not Enough Data’ in the monthly search volume as well. This means that there may be searches for these terms but not enough to formulate a number.

That does not mean you should ignore these lower value keywords. This means, it may be easier for you to make videos tailored to these words. Looking at the results should provide you with ideas on tags you can use in your videos as well as ideas and topics for upcoming videos that you create. The more lower valued keywords you can place on the first page (or number 1) spot on YouTube’s search results pages, the more you look like an expert in that field. This builds a relationship with the viewer, thereby increasing the odds that they’ll subscribe to your channel or buy your product.

YouTube video id or url

You can search for keywords that are related to any video on YouTube. Just copy the URL of a YouTube video and paste it into the correct field. Click ‘Get keyword ideas’ and look at your results.

This is very handy when you want to look at your competition’s tags. You can copy these tags and paste them in your videos to better optimize for SEO.

The third option is to search by demographics.

You can search by gender, min age/max age, by country, and by interests.

Searching by interest lets you choose categories or subcategories. Add these to the ‘Selected interests’ window and then click ‘Get keyword ideas’. These keyword ideas can then be used to create targeted videos on those subjects.

A good practice would be to use numerous different keyword tools when researching topics for your videos. Never rely on just one keyword tool.

How Does Google Search Engine Work?

Google Search Engine and How it Works

Google Search Engine and How it Works

Google Search Engine and How it Works

Whether an Internet marketer or website owner, receiving traffic to your website or sales letter should be one of your biggest priorities. One method of getting free traffic is by organic search results using Search Engine Optimization (SEO). There are other paid methods for driving traffic to your website such as Pay Per Click (PPC) and Pay Per Impression (CPM).

When someone types into Google's search bar, either a word or phrase, this is known as a keyword or key phrase. The results that are displayed after the search query is known as Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS).

Google SERPS

When it comes to the SERPS there are two types of results that are displayed, sponsored and organic results. Sponsored results are located in two areas of the page, at the very top center and on the right hand side. These sponsored ads are known as Pay Per Click which are paid ads that appear whenever someone searches a particular keyword or phrase. The owners of these ads are only charged once their ad is clicked.

Organic results make up the majority of the SERPS and get 5-6 times as much traffic than PPC ads. These results are displayed by Google's algorithm as the most relevant websites that match the keyword or phrase search criteria.

Making it to the first page of Google is the objective for most website owners who understand the value of being where their targeted audience lurks. This could mean literally thousands of visitors to their website each and every month. So how exactly do we make it to the first page of Google?

Making the First Page of Google

First off, there are two main things that Google's algorithm uses to determine which pages should appear on the first page of any search query, that's good content and backlinks.

Google tends to reward web pages in the SERPS that are relevant, have well written original content and informative to it's users.

Google also rewards for backlinks – Backlinks are external links from other websites that point back to your website giving it “popularity points”. The more popular the link source, the more credibility this adds to your website. So websites with higher page rank will affect your website SERPS in a positive way.

Easy Traffic and Critical Exposure for Your Website: The Facebook Comments Plug-in

Posted on by

Lately, I have seen a ton of sales letters, squeeze pages and websites that are utilizing the Facebook Comments Plug-in. Simply put, it is a way for Facebook users to leave a comment on a webpage that will also show up on their user profiles. In essence, people visiting a webpage can add their two-cents and not only will it show up on their Facebook Wall, it gets sent out to all of their friends via the mini news-feed. Now all of their friends can click on the link as well, driving a wall of fresh Facebook traffic to the website. They can elect to leave a comment as well, creating an exponentially large amount of exposure.

This is the critical exposure needed to compete with the huge amount of competition for your topic. Or if you are having a time-sensitive event, this can help push it along in short order. The Comments Plug-in also has other factors involved such as: looking like there is a ‘buzz' going around for the website, getting feedback from your visitors, and using the amount of back links from all of those Facebook Walls as an SEO strategy. This plug-in is free to use and easy to implement. After filling out the variables in how the plug-in will look, your webmaster simply copy and pastes the provided code into the website wherever you want it to show up.

How can you encourage Facebook users to leave a comment? Ask for their advice for starters. People like to leave their opinions and feel as if their input matters. Since you can track who leaves a comment, or how many ‘likes' a comment may get, you can offer a prize for people leaving a ‘really good' comment. Facebook doesn't allow contests to take place directly on the Facebook site, so this third-party app is perfect for holding a sweepstakes. Social media is the future of the web, especially in conversation mode. A direct-to-dialogue approach will work wonders for your web business. At the Internet Marketing Training Center, we will show you how it's done.

The Importance of Opt-Ins and Free Gifts

Creating Opt-Ins and Free Gifts

Creating Opt-Ins and Free Gifts

Creating Opt-Ins and Free Gifts

Giving away awesome free gifts in exchange for an email address is an effective way to increase your email list.

So why is it that no one is returning to your website, or worst, why are they opting out after they receive your free gift?

Could it be your free offer?

Below I will discuss two things to consider that will help increase your opt-in rate, and keep your subscribers.

Offer Free Gifts That Has Value!

Think about it, what good is a free gift if it has no value whatsoever?

Your free offer is basically more crucial than anything else you may have. It's your job to AWE your subscribers with your free product or information, similar to a first impression. By presenting your visitors with free valuable offers you are actually showing them that everything you present has value, even the free stuff!

By offering free gifts that has value can also reduce your subscribers opt-out rate. Most people will remain subscribers as long as they see some value in what your offering.

Making Use Of An Autoresponder

It's important to use an autoresponder to help manage your email list. An autoresponder will help you schedule a sequence of emails to be sent to your list automatically according to your preset schedule. I must advise NOT to use a free autoresponder due to poor quality and lack of options. Free autoresponders lacks professionalism especially if your not able to use your primary email address. Besides that, there's absolutely no assurance that your emails will be delivered on time, if at all.

It's been said that 95% of online businesses do NOT automate their marketing strategies. By simply using an autoresponder will increase your online sales and will make your marketing efforts a breeze to manage.

Spreading Your Content – Finding Guest Blogging Partners

Posted on by

Blogging is a very popular way to spread your information. With the competition for blogging traffic so high right now, beginner bloggers will have to work hard to get readers. You can help drive interested parties to your fresh content by writing content for other people's blogs. Some blogs in your niche have been around for years, getting tons of readers and subscribers. Writing fresh content for these blogs puts your expertise in front of the eyes of thousands of people and you get the links to your site. How can you identify blogs that may help publish your work?

Google Alerts is another great way to identify blogs where a certain topic is being discussed. After selecting a keyword phrase for your alert (and you can multiple alerts), Google will email you links everyday to blogs mentioning that phrase or topic. Now you know who to contact for a guest spot. Often, conducting a simple Google search for “Top 100 blogs on leadership skills” or whatever your topic happens to be, can help identify not only blogs relating to yours, but ones that are popular or have a high page rank. You want to write for blogs that have high traffic and a high page rank. Use http://www.checkpagerank.net/ to see how popular a blog might be before wasting your time contacting the blog owner. Having a popular blog link to yours will help with your linking strategy: one of the most important parts of getting good search engine positioning. We explain all the aspects of this article: blogging, writing, linking, SEO and social media at the Internet Marketing Training Center.

Internet Marketing is the Tool of Business Success

Internet Marketing. Most people know about a few aspects of it. They see ads on Facebook and Google, they receive email promotions and download coupons.

Company websites have the ability to educate and interact with their audience. They are more inclusive and interactive than any other type of media. One of the most important aspects of Internet Marketing goes beyond the sales process: customer service. In traditional marketing, ads run in newspapers and on television are the main vehicles for sales or promotion. Customer service is a separate area that follows the sales, usually with phone numbers to reach the company offices. On a website, the customer service experience can be instantaneous. There are live chat sessions, autoresponder messages and direct email addresses to department heads. A customer can leave comments on a blog, watch videos that explain the product better and receive newsletters with coupons good for future orders. This interactive customer experience is one of the main reasons why the Internet is growing rapidly as a place to do business. As people feel more secure with doing business online and as it becomes a part of their everyday lives, purchases will explode as the next few years go by. And companies will invest more and more money and time into using online resources to grow their sales.

Good Website Copy Techniques: Creating Urgency

Posted on by

The big money from what you write comes in immediately. Yes, some money will come in from people who don't respond to your offer right away, but the number of people who do that is virtually insignificant compared to the ones who respond immediately. It's your job to get them to act now! If you let them put your email aside with the best intentions of returning to it later the chances are they won't. They probably won't even remember where they put it and it's most likely they won't even remember having read your offer.

You must create urgency in their minds so that they pull out their wallet and buy it now. What are they buying?……well they're buying whatever you are pushing. You may just want them to pick up the phone and call. Or you may want them to buy something at your website. Whatever you want them to do you must get them to do it now!

URGENCY TECHNIQUES

Quantities are limited : “Our company seminars sell out fast and the space is limited.”  This tells the people that they better register now if they want get in.

You can do the same thing with consulting or just about anything that truly has a limited quantity– You can use phrases like this:

“Only three days left on my calendar.” 

“This product is discontinued and there are only 20 left.”

“I can only handle three more clients this year.”

Discounts and Penalties:  Here's an example of how you can use discounts to encourage people to sign up for your event sooner than later: 

“Register by 3/14 for the early bird price of only $295.  3/15 to 3/27 $350.00, and at the door $395.00”   i.e., you get penalized for waiting.

Deadlines:  A variation of the discount and penalty deal above is the deadline.

“This offer only good until 3/14.” 

“We will not accept any registrations after 3/14.”

Bonus:  You are rewarding the person for quick action:

“Respond by 3/14 and get two free backrubs.”

Multiple Bonuses:  “Respond by 3/14 and get three free bonuses” (list the bonuses)

Become a Virtual Assistant – Your Own Stay at Home Business

Posted on by

We are all looking for a career that we can do from home.For reasons such as taking care of elderly parents, watching your small children, living in a rural area without many jobs and even just to avoid the traffic jams, more and more people are looking for jobs they can perform from home. There are many ads out there for ‘work at home' opportunities that end up being simply junk or even worse, a scam. But one career stands out as the best work at home opportunity: Virtual Assistance.

What is a virtual assistant?A virtual assistant can be considered just like an actual, physical assistant that provides services to an employer. The only difference between the two is the fact that a virtual assistant does all of their work online, in a virtual environment. Since the work is completed in an online environment, a virtual assistant will find themselves doing tasks such as updating social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and more. Or they may update blog posts, do SEO work on their employer's website, upload and optimize videos, and any other type of marketing tasks needed to get done. Some virtual assistants have graphic design skills that are also valuable to an employer that has a business online.

Virtual assistants are attractive to employers because the employer doesn't need to provide any equipment for the assistant, they don't need to provide benefits, and they don't need a physical space to put the virtual assistant. People that actually are virtual assistants like the position because there's no commuting, they can work with multiple clients, and they don't need to be in the same state or even country as their employer. Right now and in the future, the demand for virtual assistants with Internet marketing skills will continue to grow.

The pay is good as well. Most assistants can keep raising their fees depending the level of their expertise. But where can you learn everything that you would need to be in demand? Here at the Internet Marketing Training Center we teach every skill set that is required to have your own home-based virtual assistant business. You'll even receive a certificate in Internet Marketing that you can proudly display to potential clients. Find out if a career in virtual assistance is right for you!

ePublishing – Tips on selling your Kindle book on Amazon

Posted on by

ePublishing – creating and publishing your books online – is a great way to get massive exposure, build credibility, and make money online. But, just because the option is available doesn't mean you can go about it any which way you desire. I take that back, you can go about it any which way you desire but you might not gain any of the benefits mentioned before unless you follow some steps. In this post, we will cover tips on selling your Kindle book on Amazon.

1. Keyword rich title – You may have the greatest title in the world, but if it doesn't contain any keywords you are already hurting yourself and book sales. You may need to change your title. Also, a lot of people keep their original title (regardless of whether or not it contains keywords) and then include a subtitle that is keyword rich. This way, people know exactly what they are going to get. This technique works for fiction and non-fiction books.

2. Author Profile – Your author profile is a page for you to add information on yourself as an author. The author profile is different from an Amazon profile; it contains places to add your blog, insert videos, connect to Twitter, and promote all of your books in one nice, neat area.

3. Tags – On every one of your books, you have an option of providing tags that are relevant to the content in your book. Make sure you enter in as many tags as you can (there's a limit). Also, be sure one of your tags is your author name, this will help show your other works as related books. *Other people and reviewers can add extra tags to your books. Ask your readers to help you out.

4. External websites – Use the power of your own website or blog to promote your book, make videos about your book and post them on every video sharing site you can find, make status updates in Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and any other social networking site, and find forums and other blogs related to your content – post and respond to them.

Doing just these 4 steps will get you going in the right direction, there's many more as well. Get the skills you need to sell and promote your Kindle book on Amazon here.
