How to Launch an Easy SMS Marketing Campaign

Hey everyone!

Utilising the power of short messaging service (SMS) for your marketing campaign is a fast, cost-effective and highly converting way to generate leads and reach out to repeat customers.

text message

If you haven’t leverage this system, it’s never too late to start using it now, especially since there’s a fairly large demographics of individuals who own at least one mobile device which they carry with them all the time.

Here’s a quick a run-down on how to launch a successful SMS or text messaging marketing campaign.

Start an SMS Campaign Now

CTA ( Call to Action)

Hurry!

Make sure that you state this right away in your SMS campaign.

One effective way is to always tell your text message recipients what they would gain if they would subscribe to your solution or brand.

Have the end in mind even at the start of your text message to avoid long boring text message. The time window you have for this is less than 5 seconds tops!

Keep it short

Essentially, you only have 160 characters to get your most important point across. So choose your words very carefully. Use the direct approach method. Don’t dilly dally. Your brand’s advantage should be immediately clear to your recipient.

Right Time

is it the right time?

Always consider the time when you want to send your text message out.

If you hope to gain an action or response, it is important that you give your recipients ample time to think about your offer during the course of their day.

One way to achieve this is by preparing a scheduler that you can view and track what is the best time to send your text marketing and to which group of people you want to send it out.

Avoid repetition

Avoid sending text after text to the same group of people continually within a single day! This is considered spamming and many will definitely frown upon you which would result in lost of possible conversion for you.

Learn to manage your database properly to avoid texting the same marketing campaign to the same group of people. Also, try to keep your text message engaging and most importantly, fresh!

Be clear about the opt-in rule

Opt in?

Always remember to use an SMS keyword for this type of action. (e.g. Text JOIN to 10110 to receive the latest offers and updates.)

Have this printed everywhere. Text messaging is an invasive strategy and thus it may violate some regional laws.

Be sure to read what your local Privacy and Electronic Communications policy has to say about this.

Protect your brand’s reputation by making sure that all of your recipients have actually opted in.

Simple to opt-out

easy opt out

In my many years of being an on-line marketer, I found it really exasperating when you’re opting out of a solution but you are constantly STILL being bombarded with countless proposal.

Some text messaging campaigns I’ve encountered are like that, for me, it’s a sign of unprofessional ism and is blatantly unethical. AVOID THIS PRACTICE at all cost.

Make sure your opt-out option is simple in your texts. Make it a point to let go of your clients when they have decided to opt-out of whatever current solution you are promoting.

Who knows in the near future they will even subscribe to another solution that you are promoting just because of the excellent experience they had with you in the past.

There you go, I hope this article have you itching to start your very own text messaging campaign now.

7 Social Media Marketing Mistakes

2 Replies

Hi everyone!

In the early stages of my social media marketing campaign I often struggle to find the most applicable and most effective strategy or strategies that I can use.

This would always result to falling into a pitfall and you know what’s even worse? I’d fall over and over into the same ditch time and again.

It’s definitely easy to mess up and get lost into messing up again and again.

Thankfully I was able to rectify my mistakes and was able launched a more streamlined and effective social media marketing campaign.

Now I’ll be sharing the mistakes I did before in the hope that you’ll steer clear of them.

Here it goes.

Social Media Marketing Mistakes

Focusing on Number of Followers

Try to target connections that will be beneficial to your business. It’s them you want to focus on anyway.

Don’t just click and connect.

Be forward-looking. Connect with those that you can do business with in the future.

Irregular Posting of Unrelated Content

More than 170million people buy product online every year. Posting unrelated content without irregularity will only leave you in the dust and in the dark. Moreover you can actually even lose your followers this way.

Forgetting to Convert Followers into Paying Customers

Did you know that roughly around 12 percent of total social media viewers that encounter your ads are likely to buy?

A highly shared post means nothing if it’s not asking viewers to make the sale.

No Strategy

Operating an online business without any social media strategy is like fighting a battle with one hand tied behind your back. I can’t overemphasize the importance of having an active social media marketing campaign.

Spamming

Self-explanatory I suppose? Spamming is really not a strategy anyway. It’s more akin to being a nuisance.

Announcing the Same Message on Multiple Channels

Much like having your own branding concepts, different platforms have their own distinct way of getting the message across their respective community.

If you want to be effective on this, then learn how each platform execute theirs.

You might piss off your most loyal followers having multiple channels if they see the same exact message promoted across multiple channels don’t you think?

Brand Has no Personality

Whether you have a smiling clown, or an old man with a mustache that defines your brand, still your brand has to have its personality.

This will separate you from the “faceless, lifeless and bland crowd”. A logo or a symbol will instantly inform your viewers who you are and what your business is all about.

There you go folks!

Have fun with your social media campaign!

How to Get the Most out of LinkedIn

LinkedIn Cheat Sheet

Set up a Professional Looking Picture

Adding a face to the profile is a 99% guarantee that you are most likely a real person and that your account is legit and not bogus.

Create an Awesome Summary

This section should be about YOU, not about your brand.

This should highlight everything about you that would make people want to connect with you.

Create an Accurate Advert via Your Headline

You can take advantage of this heading by letting your connection know what you can offer and what you can do. Keep it simple and brief but loaded with a lot of punch.

Be Single-mindedly clear

Unlike other social media networking site, LinkedIn is all about building your PROFESSIONAL connection. So it’s really important that you make this clear right away with what you load into your profile.

Skill Set

It is also imperative that you list your skill. A LinkedIn profile without a skill set is like a car without fuel.

It wouldn’t go anywhere.

Besides, I’ll ask you this simple question, will you connect with someone that you don’t have a clue about what they actually do?

Post Statuses

You need to be visible to be relevant. Posting statuses on a regular basis keeps your connection well aware of your online presence. This is of paramount importance. YOU need to be relevant. Don’t forget to hashtag part of the update in to your Twitter account for that extra wallop and sauce.

Get Endorsed

Get people in your network to endorse your skills. This way, viewers will see what you are really about.

Although not 100% fool proof, still, I’d get an endorsement anytime. It beats self-promotion by a mile.

Add Media

You can make your profile more interesting by adding different types of media. Include videos, photos and links every now and then to make it more visible as well.

There you have it, give it a try then tell leave a comment.

5 Tips on How to Write a Killer Headline

5 Headline Tips and Tricks

Use Numbers

The mind can easily “see and recognize” figures. This spatial recognition is so effective that wherever you go, numbers will almost always jump out instantly. Look around you and you will notice that numbers are everywhere.

For best practice, use somewhere between 1 to 5 to enumerate your headline with tips or what-have-yous, it works.

Use Picturesque or Interesting Adjectives

A headline without any adjective is doom to fail. Use adjectives that are easy to understand and must be catchy. Some of these are the following:

Essential
Incredible
Free
Easy
Important
Fun

Use Rationale

This is effective if you are going to do a list post. You can use the following words.

Facts
Ideas
Lessons
Principles
Reasons
Secrets
Tricks
Ways

One cautious word of advice – please don’t ever use the word things. I know you can do a lot better than that.

Use Trigger Words

What, why, who, when, and how are considered as trigger words. They define your headline and immediately “cast the net” on the target audience. Trigger words are effective when you are trying to persuade or you want to enable your readers.

Make a bold Promise

Always remember your initial and most important goal – have readers read your article. Readers will always ask “what’s in it for me?” If you can successfully address that query, you have reached your goal.

Making a promise is a sure way to catch their attention. Make it bold or audacious but not to the point that you are fooling them. That’s a major no-no.

Likewise you can promise your readers about something valuable. It can be learning a new skill, trying out a new brand of soap or asking him to do something for the first time and what they will get out from it.

They key point to remember is that you are asking your readers to read your article.

Finally

Now, let’s put our headline writing formula to the test, try this:

50 Ways to Leave your Lover – yeah it’s a song I know, but it’ll real catchy. How about “How to lose 2 kilos in 2 weeks”.

All in all, you can’t force your readers to read something that is really boring. They want to be informed and entertained. Make it worth their time. Start with the headline.

Timely Blogging Tips

Hi there!

Blogging can sometimes be cumbersome, especially at some point when you run out of steam, which eventually you will. Trust me, it will happen, even to the best of them. So what will you blog about when this occurs?

Do you have any contingency plan?

It always pays to have a backup plan ready for any eventualities, and running out of ideas is something that you really need to watch out for.

Here are some fresh ideas you can pick upon and incorporate in your blogging approach.

Blogging Tips

Blog about News Events

Being a business owner entails that you be abreast with the latest news and trends about the industry. You can put this advantage to good use by blogging about what is upcoming and new.

This gives you the opportunity to be a resource person and you can even give your insight about the news event to your readers.

Keep a Keen Sight on Google Trends and Twitter

Observe what leaders in the industry are referring to or that have a huge number of interest and write about that (knowing that if it’s an appropriate subject like the World Cup, your material won’t possibly rank or likely ever be seen before the attention drops).

Volume wise, you’ll be blogging to entice guests and in case of authorities chatting, you’ll likely be blogging mainly for links so it will have to be more reliable.

Write about changes in the industry, product and services launches, etc.

For example, while an upgrade to Google Chrome may not straightly affect our approach to SEO, it’s relevant by its effect on our website visitors, so it is definitely a topic worth blogging about.

While this might sound a bit cloudy and uncertain, every upgrade that chrome does will definitely have an effect on our approach to online marketing or even to SEO at times. (Algorithms anyone?)

Product and services launches are great topics to blog about, even if these are from your competitors, why? It will absolutely give you the advantage of knowing where your position is as with regards to your competitors.

Blogging about this topic will give your readers insight about (clears throat) how well you can address the competition without sounding all sour and insecure about the whole thing, which if done properly, I believe will result in better audience confidence in you!

There you go, I hope you can incorporate this tip in your blogging approach.

Unbeatable Online Marketing Strategies

Hi there!

If you’re like most internet marketers, you want to be always in the loop regarding the newest and trendiest online marketing strategies.

It’s easy to understand why, the online community, most especially those who do their shopping online have become more finicky over the years, thus affecting the way online marketers do their marketing strategies.

In my ongoing effort help provide what I do believe (based on extensive personal experiences) as the best and most effective marketing strategies, I’ve compiled a list just for you.

Supreme Marketing Strategies

Get into Social Media Marketing

Who doesn’t own a Facebook account these days? Or a Twitter? Or a Pinterest perhaps? Let’s face it, the influence of social media on our society and life in general has become undeniable.

We look to Facebook for the newest trends or happenings. The same holds true for the rest of these social media networking sites.

So if you want to be on the forefront of things and have your site up there, visible and attracting traffic, better make use of these platforms now and spread the word out about your item or product.

Don’t Neglect Content Marketing

Companies nowadays establish authority and gain the trust of a lot of consumers by continuing to develop and strengthen the value of their content through a variety of programs.

This generally includes appropriate information about the market that provides understanding or enjoyment to any viewers. Doing so allows a company to continuously build relationship with its market and create a faithful following.

Watch out for Image-Centric Content

If you are a keen observer, you might just have noticed the trend on posting more images (photos) on blog posts and social media sites. In fact, there’s a site that’s solely dedicated to just posting images on the web (Instagram anyone?)

On blog posts? The average images should be around 3-4 for articles with 400-500 words in it. The reason? Easy, it’s a little bit boring just reading plain text in an article. The images serves as breakers and breathers and spice up the overall look of the content.

If you can keep these marketing strategies in every posts and articles you put out, I bet you’ll have a definite success!

Easy Residual Income Ideas for You

1 Reply

Hi there!

If you’re wondering how to build residual income with zero startup capital, this is for you. There are sources of residual income that don’t require any startup capital at all, all you need is time and a lot of creativity.

Here are some ideas for you.

Residual Income Ideas

Sending Tweets

You might be wondering how tweeting can produce residual income. Well, you can generate some re-occurring earnings from your Twitter posts. For this to work well you’ll need a Twitter account with a lot of involved followers.

There are organizations out there that will pay you to sponsor a twit update to all of your followers. There are even services that will publish the tweets if given the power to do so.

Writing Content

Can you put together a write-up that provides a concept that’s useful to your readers? Consider writing for other websites.

There are some websites that will pay you an advance fee as well as give you the chance of some residual income from the continuous page views that your article produces.

Content is often one of the first re-occurring earnings concepts tried by those just getting their feet wet in making additional money using your laptop or computer.

Blogging

Looking for something a little more versatile, why not try composing your own blog content. This is probably one of the most convenient residual income ideas to begin with.

You can get started for 100 % free on websites like Blogger and Word Press.

Some of them like Blogger even have marketing possibilities designed right into the system. It’s simple, as simple as clicking a few buttons. Keep in mind though, that developing an audience base or following is what will help you earn and sometimes this needs time.

Taking photos

Nowadays having a camera is very common, even if it’s the one on their cellphone. Did you know you can take images and publish them on websites on the market? Some will let you just publish the image and pay you for web page comments when individuals come to see your work.

Online Marketing

There are thousands of different methods to do this. I’ve seen marketing websites that are designed toward a particular item classification with affiliated links to the provider.

One of the most well-known methods individuals started as an online marketer is to be a part of Amazon’s affiliate system.

You can choose the items right off of Amazon’s site and they make a link and some system code for you to duplicate in your web page.

Starting is simple, but like writing a blog, making a system of individuals that want to come to see what you have to provide is where the work is. Once you get there you can generate some of that residual income.

How to Write Your Social Media Marketing Plan

Hi there!

Making your very own social media marketing plan entails more than just creating your Facebook or any other social networking site page active online.

Truthfully speaking, you need to really sit down and plan how you are going to go about the whole marketing plan from top to bottom.

You need, early in the process, to identify your target market or focus group, your brand image, and you need to come up with best strategy to connect with these clients as well.

Nowadays with the advent of the internet, being “connected” might actually spell the BIG difference between succeeding or failing in this business.

Social media marketing is about engaging your readers to respond. You do this by creating interesting content that your readers or focus market will find helpful, intriguing (at times), controversial or simply informative.

In my ongoing effort to help you set up your own social media marketing plan, I’ve listed an easy and executable course of action that you can do.

Social Media Marketing Plan

Set up Your Business Website and Blog

It’s of extreme importance that you set up your business website and start filling it with awesome content. This is essentially setting up your brand and image online.

Pay attention to the overall aesthetic or appearance of your site as well as this is a major indicator of “who you are” online. This is a key step in developing a social media marketing plan online.

Create both a Personal and Professional Social Media Pages

Having both a personal as well as a professional social media profile will guarantee that you are not simply a spammer but is a legitimate online entity.

Having a personal profile online through Facebook or other social networking site will connect you with people you know, while having a professional profile will connect you with your target market.

It’s a win-win approach as you can refer people to your professional page and eventually build a long lasting connection that is way beyond just mere business.

Link Your Blogs to Your Social Media Pages

Linking articles or contents of value to your social media pages is actually setting up your social media marketing plan already. But don’t just use links, engage your readers by asking pertinent questions or even by doing an introductory sentence to arouse their interest.

BUT as a word of precaution, don’t turn people off by just posting links that are ALWAYS business related, you should vary the approach by posting interesting or informative links as well that will benefit your readers.

Know your Tribe and Audience

Notice the terms “audience” instead of “customer.” Your audience might simply enjoy your way of writing, and the subjects you choose to talk about.

A tribe – one of the more recent public networking hype terms – is a group of people who discuss identical passions and interests.

Neither your tribe nor your audience might not start out as prospective customers, but they might have buddies who require your solutions.

If, later on, they do need your product or solutions, they will be more likely to turn to someone they know.
