Distance Education: Local Businesses Need SEO

Posted on by

Local search has taken the search engines by storm. A huge amount of small businesses including pizza shops, dentists, nightclubs, dry cleaners and car dealerships are now using local search to create a presence on the web. This has taken the place of the Yellow Pages and for good reason. Local search gives you all the tools you need to make a decision about where to purchase, how to get there and even links to the establishment's website.

Look at the power local search provides you, the customer:

  • Interactive maps and directions from your home.
  • Streetview – see the neighborhood your about to travel to.
  • Reviews of the business.
  • Links to menus, printable coupons and social networking.
  • Get the search results right on your phone.
  • And much more….

As small business grows it's reach on the web, they will need people who know how to submit and manage their listings. The information has to be updated and fresh for customers to find them. These search engine techniques are not just for large companies anymore. Not having a updated presence on the web can mean lost business. Where will they find the right people to help them manage these tasks?

The Internet Marketing Training Center will help teach the skills that today's savvy marketers will need to help small business stay ahead. This kind of technology will increase the demand for jobs in Internet marketing management. This is a whole new world opening up right in front of your eyes… are you ready to take it on?

“Why” Internet Marketing?

Posted on by

We've explained a little bit about what Internet Marketing is—search engine optimization, list building strategies, social media, etc.—but we never talk about WHY you do it.

For a lot of people, it's “because they told me I should” or “to increase my Google Ranking”. It's important to understand why you are doing something as much as what you are doing.

Simply, we Market on the Internet so that our clients can find us.  A lot of people think that we Market so that the search engines can find the site, but that doesn't amount to a hill of beans if real people aren't finding the website and converting.

The website should be easy to use, with—now here's the important part—content that is relevant to the end-user. If you are trying to “work” the format just so that search engines “like” your site, you may end up failing the very people you are trying to reach. Information should be presented so that people can easily find information.

Let me back track for a second.  The whole point of a search engine is to find relevant information.  For instance, if you type in “Seafood Restaurants in Virginia Beach” you don't want to find results for California.  That information isn't relevant.  The same thing goes with your site.  You want it to be optimized and marketing to people who are looking specifically for what you are selling.  You want to be the authority on that subject.

And “search engine optimization” is not the only aspect of Internet Markeing.  The point of Internet Marketing is to get your product or service in front of people.  Go where the people are.  Right now that also includes YouTube, FaceBook, Twitter. This also includes forums and article directories. This also includes decent copywriting. Come check out all the wonderful tings about Internet Marketing you will learn over at the Internet Marketing Training Center.

If you take away anything, take away this: Internet Marketing is a whole system of promoting your business. Don't focus so strongly on one thing that you fail to promote in other avenues.

Internet Marketing Job Forecast: High Growth… Low Offshoring Risk

Posted on by

One of the best parts of being a writer is learning as I look for information to include in articles and marketing pieces. This week, for instance, I learned that wage-and-salary employment in Internet marketing is expected to grow 38 percent by the year 2016, compared with only 11 percent growth projected for the entire economy. In addition, Internet marketing will add more than 489,000 jobs over the decade, placing it among the 10 industries with the largest job growth.

Not only are job growth projections high, those who choose jobs in Internet marketing do not have to be in fear that their jobs will be sent overseas, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. While programmers and computer support specialists are at risk of offshore outsourcing, other tasks, such as integrating and designing web based marketing systems (the skills we teach at the Internet Marketing Training Center) will be insulated from the effects of offshoring.

With so much gloom and doom in the unemployment figures these days, it’s nice to know that Internet marketing offers a brighter outlook. To see if  Internet marketing is in your future, visit http://imtcva.org/

Internet Marketing Careers: Videos and Production

Posted on by

I'll bet by now there isn't anyone on Earth that hasn't seen a Youtube video.

People watch over 2 billion videos a day on Youtube and every minute over 24 hours of footage is uploaded. Not only is Youtube a fun place to just hang out and watch your favorite vids, it's a great place to learn stuff. If I want to learn to run a certain software program or even how to repair my car, I search Youtube for the answers. It's much easier to watch a video than to try and follow along in some document. The people who submit videos to Youtube come from all walks of life and varied age groups including 10 year old kids submitting skateboarding tricks to serious college students making independent films. But one group of video makers are growing faster than all of the rest…. companies.

From Target to Apple to BlendTec, companies large and small are using videos to market their products and services. Videos can create a brand name, answer customer service issues, advertise specials and just plain entertain the millions of people a day watching on Youtube. Video marketing has become one of the most cutting edge and powerful tools in a company's strategy to advertise themselves and they pay good money to make and market these videos. This opens up a huge opportunity for you to get in on the ground floor of a new career field.

If this interests you, you have the whole world in front of you. And a distance learning education school such as IMTC can be the ticket to your new career. We cover all of the practical nuts-and-bolts training for things like video marketing, social media, search engine optimization and tons more. Work for yourself or work for a big company… the choice is yours, but call us to find out just how easy it is to start!

Home-Based Business…best bet in tough economic times!

Posted on by

In these tough economic times a single income family has become nothing more than a historical landmark on the landscape of new the millennium.

In 2010 the modern family not only needs, but most require two incomes to make ends meet these days. That can be a tall order for a stay at home mom with one child on her hip and the other learning to walk. A home based business can often bridge the gap between sinking and staying afloat for most moms and even dads looking to add to their current income. Home-based businesses are now synonymous with Internet marketing. With as little 10 to 20 hours a week many have found the answer to add extra dollars to their bank account that balances the household budget.

But before you start fantasizing about the product you will sell and the millions you will make, training is the first investment that should come to mind. The one thing that I have learned working for the Internet Marketing Training Center is that the best concept and or product falls short of your expectations if you can’t compete on the internet.

To be competitive on the Internet and get your product in front of the people who will buy it, you must first learn the basics and even the advanced tips, tricks and methods to sell to your customers. SEO, social media, Google rankings, blogging, e-commerce and digital product development are just a few of the topics you will need to be familiar with before you can expect to be successful. So consider a home-based business if you are looking to balance the household budget, or if you thinking bigger why not become an Internet millionaire?

Get a New Job…

Posted on by

Unemployment seems to be rather stagnant these days. It's stuck around 10% right now as the average for the US. Some places are higher, some are a bit lower. As a country, we got down around 3.6% in October 2000. That was 10 years ago. There was a boom in the dot coms and then things leveled off. In January 09, things took a turn for the worse and we've been flirting around 10% ever since.

We've lost a lot of jobs in industries that might never come back. If you were in one of these industries, what can you do? Well, I've got some news for you. It's time to move on. Let me tell you how.

Internet Marketing is a field that continues to grow. The Internet has become our second brain. Need directions? Got a smartphone? You're good. We have access to so much information, ALL of the time now. We spend out time on Facebook talking to our friends, we do all of our shopping on Amazon, we download new books to Kindle or other ebook readers, we download music to our mp3 players. It's pretty clear, that the Internet is here to stay. Businesses continue to join the internet… in fact there are an incredible number of businesses that have no actual storefront, no actual inventory—and yet they are making money on the Internet.

How can you get into Internet Marketing? How can you learn what you need to know to make yourself valuable to almost any business? Or if you want to start your OWN business? We can help with that too. We are IMTC. The Internet Marketing Training Center. We teach Internet Marketing that encompasses website design, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), copywriting, list building, and even product creation.

Internet Marketing is a growing industry that continues to explore the fields of social media, viral marketing techniques, and traditional marketing practices on the Internet.  Now is a good time to get into the field.
