Today, YouTube has over one billion viewers. If you aren’t using YouTube to grow your audience, you’re missing out on a substantial portion of the population, and a great way to increase your influence online. It’s not just viewers you need though. You need users that are actively engaged in your channel. YouTube is a massive opportunity to grow your following for the long-term.

Let’s take a look at some of the best ways to grow your YouTube following. There is no secret formula or unique guide to building up your user base. It’s merely being consistent, providing quality content, and rewarding those who follow you. What does that look like? Here are a few ideas.

Consistency is Key

As we previously mentioned, one of the keys to a successful YouTube following on your channel, and a loyal following is consistency. Pick a theme and stick with it. There’s nothing worse than finding a YouTube channel you like, only to discover that it’s changed direction or not what you thought it was. It’s a good, quick way to lose followers.

Build your brand, and doing it in a way that doesn’t require users to take a lot of time to figure out who you are and what you’re selling. Users subscribe for two reasons: 1) Because they like the content they just viewed, and 2) Because they expect more of the same in the future.

Figure out before you launch your channel what your premise and platform will be. Communicate it effectively across all of your videos so visitors will be able to identify your brand at a glance. You can do this in a variety of ways, whether it is through a channel trailer, via a pitch that lets users know when the next post will be, or through customized thumbnails which will grab the attention of visitors to your channel.

Quality Content

When a person is introduced to your channel, the more of our videos they watch, the higher the chance they will subscribe, thus growing your YouTube following. Watching your videos gives visitors an excellent opportunity to follow you, while also showing them why they should.

One way you can do this is by creating playlists of your content. Organize your videos in a manner that will get good traction through searching on YouTube. You can choose important keywords to drive traffic to your channel. Create themed segments with your videos, which allows you to have control over which video the user will see next. This is especially important as YouTube could wind up playing other content, as opposed to your own after the video is over.

When creating your content, be sure to make it viewable in a format conducive to a mobile device. That does not mean it needs to be recorded and viewed on a smartphone, but rather that you should keep in mind that a lot of content is seen on a mobile device. Create short, consumable videos that will keep followers returning on a regular basis, eager and hungry for more.

As stated previously, there’s no shortcut or secret recipe to growing your YouTube following. Anyone trying to sell you a “get rich quick scheme” is nothing but a waste of your time and money.

When it comes to your YouTube following, more often than not, quality trumps quantity, especially when it comes to your users. It’s more important to have an engaged, valued audience of a few thousand than it is to have a million followers who have no idea who you are or what you’re selling. Find your niche, create your content, and build your following.

4 Ways to Attract New Website Visitors Today

Right now, people have more unrestricted access to information, entertainment and other content than in any other time in history. While that is great for people looking to be informed, educated or entertained, it can present a challenge for online marketers seeking to capture the biggest possible audience.

That’s because there’s simply more competition for your target audience than ever before. So if the content you are using to attract visitors to your pages isn’t interesting, cutting edge and exciting, you are going to have a difficult time getting people to visit or stay on your pages once they land there.

1. Would You Be Interested In Your Content?

A good starting point in determining whether the content you are providing is vital and engaging for your target audience is to consider whether you would be interested in your pages if you were an outside visitor looking for content within your niche.
Why would you be drawn to your web pages? What are you offering your visitors that they can’t get anywhere else? How are you communicating to your core audience that the content you offer is unique, entertaining and engaging?
Think about these questions and then identify the areas where you are failing to live up to your own standards. Those are the areas you should then focus on repairing.

2. Be Controversial … But Not TOO Controversial!

If you want to attract eyeballs, you need to have something to say. Choose topics within your niche that are “hot button” issues. Visitors arrive on your pages with their own opinions, but if you have something relevant and insightful to say about a current event or a controversial issue within your niche, they are going to want to hear it.

Yet you should temper your words so that you don’t go too far, otherwise you risk turning your visitors off. Stay away from extreme views or radical arguments. You can and should take a stand based on your beliefs, experience and knowledge, but avoid giving the impression that you are close-minded or fanatical.

Visitors to your pages want to feel as if they are engaging in a conversation, not listing to a diatribe or monologue. Invite others to share their thoughts and let them know you value what they have to say. That way they will be more likely to return to your pages later.

3. S*x Sells

There’s no way around it: S*x sells. It’s simply the way we are hard-wired as humans. We are attracted to anything that turns us on or stimulates our s*xual curiosity.

Obviously, this is something that successful marketers have known about since the beginning of time – or at least the beginning of advertising. If you want to attract more visitors to your pages, look for ways to ratchet up the s*x appeal – even if your subject matter doesn’t ordinarily lend itself to being s*xualized.

S*xy images are also always a huge draw, especially when they are used tastefully. Consider what your core audience wants, then give it to them.

4. Mimic the Most Popular Sites in Your Niche

With Internet marketing, there’s usually no reason to reinvent the wheel. Conduct a little research to determine what the most successful marketers in your niche are doing, then steal their best ideas and make them your own.

Obviously, you don’t want to plagiarize or do anything unethical. But you can discover the most successful themes and topics and put your own spin on them in order to capture more visitors. Observe market forces to recognize what the public wants, then provide them with it.

One of the biggest benefits of the Internet is its global scale and universal timeliness. Whatever niche you are working in, there are certain to be hundreds – if not thousands – of other people competing for the same audience you are targeting.

By giving your visitors content that you would find interesting, focusing on hot button issues that fans of your niche have strong opinions about, injecting s*x appeal whenever and wherever possible, and stealing the best ideas from the most successful marketers in your niche, you can choose topics that draw more visitors to your website.

Slack for Marketing

Slack enables your ideas all the way to market by keeping everyone on the same page in real time. Slack is a communication super tool allowing your team to send notifications, get approvals, and sign off on the biggest marketing campaigns. From collaboration to integration, Slack has the capabilities your team needs to prepare the best marketing campaigns yet.

Slack helps you to stay organized with rooms for purposes designated by your team and inviting members on a need-to-know basis so that people don’t get notifications that waste their time. It serves as a central command post for all resources your team needs. App integrations to gain valuable insights from customer feedback as well as monitor how your campaigns are performing.

Centralized Communication

Slack provides real-time coordination amongst teammates, even in remote locations, allowing flexibility and availability in your workday. Define deliverables and discuss what you’ll need in a centralized location. You can create public channels to keep everyone on the same page, or you can create private channels for teammates working on specific tasks that don’t involve the entire organization. Each channel allows you to set topics, so everyone knows what the channel is for, and you can pin messages or files so you can easily find the most important information later.

Approvals

Slack is a great place to get input on marketing strategies and campaigns. You can share messages with internal colleagues or clients and emojis make the approval process fun. Try using a set of eyes to indicate something that needs reviews, or a heart to show how much you love the idea.

Gathering Insights

Data matters for marketing teams and Slack can integrate with a number of marketing tools, enabling you with valuable insights. By pulling in data from Statsbot, Amplitude, or Google Analytics, you can stay on top of performance metrics and trends to make informed decisions about the direction you’ll take the next campaign.

You can also pull in stats from SurveyMonkey for the support team or use the MailChimp integration to monitor click-throughs and open rates all on one dashboard. There are many other APIs available, and a talented development team can integrate or enable notifications for almost anything.

Customer Feedback

Customer feedback is critical to marketing teams. As you learn more about what the ideal customer in your target market wants, you can build more valuable campaigns to meet their needs. You can use Slack to implement real-time social media mentions, or automatically post tweets to your company’s account. You can also post feedback from your company’s help desk tool, or post survey results to a specific Slack channel.

Integrations

With a centralized dashboard for all of your communication and statistics, you can improve your workflow and make it more efficient. There are numerous Slack integrations with marketing apps, including:

• Statsbot

• GrowthBot
• Ark

• So much more

Community

Sometimes it takes a village. If someone else has been there and done that, use their experience to your advantage. Ask questions, analyze patterns, and figure out the best way for your organizations to proceed. There are Slack communities specifically for this purpose, and here are some of the best marking communities:

• Online Geniuses
• Inbound.org
• Conversion World

How To Use Targeted Ads To Generate Traffic With Facebook

With the billions of people who use Facebook all over the world, this platform represents a gold mine when it comes to reaching people and generating traffic for your online business. As an entrepreneur you always have to be thinking about the most effective ways to raise the profitability of your business and this seems to be one of the obvious choices.

We’re not just talking about free advertising. Using the free method gives you a much smaller scope of reach than paid advertising would with Facebook. You can choose the frequency and the scope of your campaign, and also determine how to position if your business offering fits in with their advertising models.

How To Do It?

You have the option of promoting your business through posts made on your page, directing users to your website, and page promotion. What will prove most effective for you, is to have users directed to your website, which shifts the focus from your page and have prospects looking where the real action takes place. This is what will increase your chances of making an actual sale.

Through Facebook’s platform you’d already have made choices as to the demographic you’re interested in reaching so each visitor is a potential client. You’re already attracting the kind of traffic you’re looking for.

Develop The Art

You need to bear in mind that Facebook users in most cases are looking to connect with people they know or are seeking out acquaintances. Their primary focus tends not to be on making a purchase. You will find though that pages offering a service tend to do pretty well. You’ll therefore need to consider how to create a catchy ad, which will capture your audience’s attention and urge them to consider giving you more than passing glance.

The ideal approach is not to try to fill an already existing need; ads are full of this. You want to create a demand, which is more likely to get you noticed and followed. Of course the objective is always to move the traffic to your website.

How To Properly Target?

Facebook offers you so many choices in terms of deciding which categories of individuals you want your ads to target. Among the most important categories are location, gender, age and interests.

You really want to zoom in on the matter of the interest of your audience and we’re not just talking about their general interests only. While this may be somewhat helpful in determining what might be appealing to them, the real winner is the specific interests they’ve listed on their profile.

In looking at their specific interests, you also want to take it a step further by researching just how much those interests mean to them. This will allow you to really fine tune your target audience so that your likelihood of traffic generation and ultimately conversion, will increase.

Ad Structure

You also want to give attention to the structure of your ads in order to target properly. You can use original, purchased or (legally) free images to promote your ad. Choose carefully so that your image will speak to or resonate with your targeted audience.

Use clear and concise text with an easy to read and understand message. This is where you’ll have to find your creative side, or draw on the expertise of someone, paid or otherwise, who can assist you with wording.

If you have a business model that will allow you to make effective use of Facebook’s advertising platform, then learning how to utilize it effectively will help you create targeted ads for the right demographic. Making use of the tips provided and taking the time to get familiar with the ins and outs of the advertising platform, will generate traffic and revenue for your online business.

How to Monetize Your Site and Increase Your Influence Using Sponsored Posts

Several years ago, if you could receive thousands of visitors each month, you could make decent money thanks to your on-page ads. But, people have become blind to the ads.

It’s more difficult to monetize a site with the use of advertising. So, it’s time to start looking at alternative ways to make money from your internet traffic.

At the same time, adopting a new approach for monetization can help increase the user experience provided by your website and your overall influence.

The approach that you should think about using is the use of sponsored posts.

What are Sponsored Posts?

Sponsored posts are blog articles that businesses pay you to publish on your website. This includes articles that you write or that they submit. They can also cover any format, including reviews, informative posts, and videos.

The main idea is that these posts help the business obtain backlinks and increase their online presence. Meanwhile, you benefit by getting paid to add more content to your site.

But, in order to get paid for these posts, you first need to find businesses that are willing to pay for this service.

Finding Businesses That Need Sponsored Posts

Reach out to businesses related to your niche market. Send them an email with your pitch. You should mention that you’re opening up the chance for businesses to have their articles published on your website. Include the fee that you charge for publication.

Obviously, some businesses will turn you down. Though, as with anything, you’ll get a few bites.

Once you start publishing these sponsored posts, you’ll be able to track the stats related to each published post. Keep track of the number of visitors that the article receives and the number of social media shares that it gets.

You can then use these details in future pitches to other businesses. Basically, the more of these posts you publish, the easier it will become to find new businesses.

Make Sure That the Sponsored Posts Match Your Brand

You shouldn’t publish any posts that don’t correlate with the brand image that you’re trying to promote. While you can disclose that you don’t necessarily agree with the views or opinions of the author, you’re publishing their post on your website.

So, any negative response that the post receives will also be directed to your website.

When you start publishing sponsored posts, you’ll need to create a standard agreement for your customer to sign. This should include a stipulation that all articles must receive final approval before publishing and that you can choose to deny and refund any post that you don’t want to publish.

Don’t Forget to Continue Releasing Your Own Content

You can’t fill your website with sponsored content. After a while, your regular readers will stop showing up. You should use this sponsored content as a source of additional income and supplement your own content.

Using a calendar can help you avoid publishing too many sponsored posts. For example, if you stick to a blogging schedule of one new blog each week, you could take on one sponsored post each month.

Sticking to around 75% original content and 25% sponsored content should be sufficient to keep your readers happy.

If you’re careful with the use of sponsored posts, this can also help increase your influence. Your site can become a go-to source of beneficial information related to your niche. You just need to be a little selective with the quality of the content that you publish.

Sponsored posts provide a simple alternative to ad placement for monetizing your site. If you’d like even more marketing tips and suggestions and a way to generate high-converting traffic, then click here to learn about my done-for-you system.

How Online Reviews Impact Your Business

Word of mouth regarding people’s interactions and experiences with a business, has been the age old method of spreading the word about the reputation of a business. Unfortunately, bad news tends to travel so much faster than good news and in this information age, the speed of travel is multiplied significantly. The fact is, that many people rely on these reviews and weight them as heavily as they would a personal recommendation, and for this reason, popular opinion can either drive traffic to your business or drive traffic away from it.

Regardless of the outcome of the review, this feature is a good, no, vital addition for your website’s interface because potential clients rely on the opinion of others more heavily than you may realize. From choosing vacation spots, to going out to eat, to simply purchasing clothing, people want to know and need to know, as well as have the added security of feeling free to go ahead and engage a business for products and or services, even if the reviews are from people they don’t personally know.

With this comes the responsibility for the business owners and operators to ensure that all involved will function in a manner that is representative of the company’s image and that a high level of professionalism is maintained.

What Positive Reviews Can Do For You

The more positive reviews that site visitors see, the greater the chances are that they will engage your business in a positive way. Even if your products or services may not be among the cheapest of their options, having numerous positive reviews increases your credibility with them, and, as a result, their trust as well. This will in turn lead to greater profit margins and even recommendations to others based on the experiences of satisfied clients.

What Negative Reviews Can Do

If a business has no reviews or too many negative reviews, these two situations may translate into a similar result–loss of business. Potential clients are hesitant to conduct business with companies for whom they cannot establish credibility or which have a perceived lack of credibility based on unfavourable reviews. This is why a high level of professionalism is important, because as many as three bad reviews can be highly damaging to a company’s reputation, the effects of which can be lasting.

What You Can Do To Ensure Favourable Reviews

Deal honestly with business prospects by representing your products and services as they are.

Provide excellent customer service interactions, by training staff (if any) and ensuring that your business standards are being maintained.

Encourage authentic user reviews rather than purchasing fabricated reviews from non-users. These have proven to be detrimental to sales as potential customers also read reviews in a bid to determine authenticity.

To really convert positive customer reviews into revenue for your business, you must actively be interested in excellence in this area, as a business owner/operator. Negative reviews may even be an opportunity for you to demonstrate good customer service by the way you address your clients’ grouses. You therefore need not be disheartened if this ever happens—it does not necessarily mean the death of your business.

There is so much more you can do to ensure the success of you business. For access to a wealth of information on how make use of the plethora of tools and methods to market your business via the internet, my done-for-you system will open the door to strategies and advice that you can channel into your business to watch it blossom into the successful venture you would like it to be.
