Internet Marketing Jobs: Is Your Staff J.O.B. Unsatisfying?

Posted on by

Is working for someone else ungratifying?

The World of Work 2010 report from Randstad found that half of all employees feel their skills are underused and around 10% have been forced to take up work that did not make full use of their abilities. People are looking for work outside the job that may better utilize their talents, not just for the extra income but for the satisfaction.

Justin Myers, a freelance editor and consultant, was first pushed to self-employment through redundancy. After taking a few months off to “get his head together”, Justin started freelancing with some shifts at an online newsdesk. Now he's working on two distinct projects and enjoys the lifestyle.

“Being your boss is a magical feeling; you feel really empowered and I love having responsibility for myself. Additionally, being a consultant, I've found that clients really value my opinion and input. I don't think you get that perceived level of confidence when you're in a staff job.”

Pursuing employment with online training, whether for yourself or getting a better job elsewhere, starts with a school you can trust. A school with a staff that have  put into place the real world skills that it takes to make money. The Internet Marketing Training Center is the resource you need to make an impact on a tough job market. An impact that you can trust to make your life more fun and interesting….

Copywriting and Writing For The Web

Posted on by

Writing for websites, online articles and sales copy is far different than writing for magazines and newspapers.The web is a place where people surf fast for information and make decisions quicker than when they leisurely read print. Web copy is a visual medium, consisting of various colors and font sizes. The nature of computer screens and how our eyes adjust to them have dictated how we write words for websites. Over the course of the short life of the Internet, marketers, designers and writers have experimented with how to make web copy more “readable.” And what they have come up with is a science unto itself.

Along with readability, what we are also doing with web writing is trying to get readers to “click” out on links. The best web copy is usually trying to compel readers to visit another website or get them to buy something. Marketers have experimented with this as well. Web copy should be written to persuade your reader to take action through a psychological process. All of these things can be learned effectively and practiced to perfection.

Who do you trust to teach you this knowledge? The Internet Marketing Training Center has the expert staff that have been writing copy for years. Now they are bringing that knowledge to you. This is the kind of high level training that businesses are looking for or that you can use yourself to write for your own web business.

Work from Home: Leave that Dead End Job and Make Money Sitting On Your Butt

Posted on by

There was a time when you were excited about your new job. Your hopes were high. You had a little extra money in your pocket. No, you wouldn’t be doing the type work you always dreamed of, but it was a job and it meant that you were going places — that you had a future with a decent company.

Time is slipping away and now you realize there is very little chance that you will ever be promoted to a higher paid position with the company. It’s hard to face, but yes, you are in a dead end job. Maybe it’s time for a change. But what will you do?

If you find yourself in that position, think back to projects you have worked on over the years and jot down the ones that you have enjoyed the most. Include both work- related and personal projects. Then, ask what was it about those projects that you liked. Also list the new skills that you want to learn.

For instance, you have always liked using computers and surfing the Internet. You designed a website for your best friend and you even taught your sister how to blog. Several of your friends have asked you to show them how to build their online store.

These are projects you liked to do. Now think about the skills that you want to learn. Do you want to learn how to create videos to post on YouTube? Do you want to learn how to optimize your website so search engines will give you high rankings? Do you want to learn copywriting so you can write e-mail promotions? Do you want to develop products to sell on your website? At the Internet Marketing Training Center (IMTC), you can be trained in these Internet marketing skills online from the comfort of your home on your own time.

Sound fun and exciting? Maybe it is time to expand your skills so you can leave that dead end job and make money sitting on your butt at home in front of your computer. Learn more about the Internet Marketing Training Center and how it can help shape your future at http://imtcva.org/career/

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.

  • 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?

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.

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?
