Marketing yourself with tips and tricks

When you got your first pc you were very excited, I know that I was. Day by day you learned new stuff about it and at certain time in your life you started to wonder if you could sell your knowledge about computers. Besides your friends who is going to pay for your services?

If you were smart then you have joined some marketing forums and started to learn how to market stuff (and stuff includes yourself too).

But joining forums and reading won’t help you much, you have to make yourself stand out, your posts need to be well written with perfect grammar and spelling. You must show that your knowledge isn’t questionable, and you must prove that you are very good at what you do. Marketing yourself is very hard, harder than trying to market you product, because every mistake will get you one step backwards and we all know that forward steps are not so easy to accomplish especially in online marketing so be careful, don’t mess up what you have worked for.

I have already mentioned that you must posses knowledge but that alone won’t get your name out there. Here are a couple of online marketing tips that could and should help you market yourself:

  • use your real name in forums
  • put your website in your signature
  • build portfolio
  • always be polite
  • learn more about online marketing

You must have noticed that I have focused this article in one single direction and that is marketing yourself online through forums. Marketing and webmaster forums are a great way to sell your knowledge and make a lot of money if you are good at what you do. These forums grow very fast and they always have a member or two that could need your services.

Many of you won’t use your real name in forums but you should, I know many people by their name because of forums and I always connect their names to certain services that they are capable of doing. Just browse around forums and you will notice what I am talking about. I think that we covered some basic online marketing or better said forum marketing tips.

There are a lot of other things that you should do but these tips will get you started. I will cover other techniques in other articles so bookmark my homepage and be good until next time.

Marketing blog – monthly review

  Instead of doing my usual   marketing blog challenge   weekly update I have decided to review my first month with my marketing blog and analyze what was good and what wasn’t. So here we go. During my first month I had 797 unique visitors, that means 25 unique visitors per day which is kind of frustrating. The number is steady and it doesn’t grow but I’m confident that it will one day. I still haven’t used any ads and I won’t until I get a bigger number of uniques. There were a couple of good things that made January very fun month for me. First of them were the comments from David Temple and David Meerman Scott. They really gave a motivation to continue working on my  marketing blog . Others have gave their contribution with comments and I want to thank all of you guys and gals. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I’ve managed to verify my paypal account with a debit visa card and now I’m very happy because I can finally buy things I always wanted. First of the things that I...

Another marketing blog challenge update

  Today I have checked position www.webinknow.com for the term   marketing blog   and David has moved down the to position number 443. I guess that has something to do with the fact that his post about my marketing blog challenge has moved down in his content. I don’t believe that more than 200 of our competitors have worked on their content and links to move David so many places down in SERPS. So today’s conclusion is that position of the content (maybe it is better to say position of keywords) definitely influences your position for high competitive terms and marketing blog sure falls under this category. Of course my  marketing blog  is nowhere near top 1000 but I’m working on it. I’ve decided to let it get older so that people link to me without me telling them to do so. I only hope that this will be the case in the next 6 months. I’m going to update my “Tools” section today so no more talk. Thank you for your time.

Marketing blog problem

Last few days I have a problem with writing content. I just can’t seem to find any good subjects to write about. Maybe it is the lack of free time that prevents me from writing or maybe I’m just too lazy these days, I’m not sure. If you think about it, writing about one single topic can be really hard. In my case writing only about blog marketing is really hard. I know that I write about marketing in general and search engine marketing, not only blog marketing but these subjects are related so I think about them as one. Optimizing your content for certain keywords (marketing blog in my case) is another thing that keeps you away from writing because you get the feeling that everything you write looks like something you have written before… I hope that I will find something good to write about tomorrow. Thank you for your time. p.s. I’m still mad at Google for not being number one for the term marketing blog challenge but at least I got from page three (21-30) to page two and now I’m at ...
