Think branding is only for large multi-national corporations? Think again. Here are 9 easy tips you can use to grow your brand with your customers.

1. The design of your logo really doesn't matter. Would you choose MSN as your search engine over Google because of their logo? No, having a nice professional logo is great, but it very rarely increases sales. I'm all for a professional logo, but don't think you need to spend a fortune on it. It's more important to include your logo on every piece of communication. Put it on business cards, letterhead, envelopes, invoices, yellow page ads, building signage, newsletters, etc...

Why should I market my website? PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 10 April 2008

A website can be used for much more than just a place to obtain information. A website can be a tool in accomplishing your goals, whether that is to earn more money, acquire more leads, entertain and/or inform more people, etc.

It�s easy to create a great looking website, but what�s the use if there�s no one looking at it? �How do I get more people to look at my website�, you ask.

Online Marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Online marketing and SEO can be just as important to your business as local marketing.

The amount of marketing you�ll want to do depends entirely upon what results you want. For some people it is enough to simply include their website address on their business cards and use their website as a way of validating that it is a real business. Some use their websites as a place for people to learn more about that business. Others have their websites work for them!

Your Website Can Work for You!

Online marketing generally consists of having advertisements and links on other websites that bring people to your website. This could be done using services such as Google�s AdWords, Whitepages, Yellowpages, and etc. You can market your website using blogs, forums, directories and articles. Also, you could even choose to target your marketing towards a certain geographical location or towards people with sepcific interests, the possibilities are endless.

If you want your website to work for you, contact Weblife LLC today and we�ll help you get started.

Blog Project: 30 Traffic Generation Tips PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 10 April 2008

Thanks to dailyblogtips.com for these great tips:

First of all a big �thank you�� for every one who participated. As I said before the number of entries surprised me (and the quality as well, I will definitely apply some of those tips myself).

Now, without further delay, the 30 Traffic Generation Tips�:

1. Sridhar Katakam
Keep track of blogs and leave comments on them. A good way to keep the conversation going is to install a MyBlogLog widget and visit the blog of people visiting your site.

2. Ian Delaney
Nothing creates long-term traffic more than value. Consider writing posts with resources or explaining how things work. Useful things get linked to and they get onto del.icio.us, which is far better long-term than a digg front page.

7 Ways to Promote your Site with a Bit of Money PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 10 April 2008

Thanks to dailyblogtips.com for these excellent tips:

Some time ago I wrote an article titled �Are you marketing your blog?� where I argued that there is a myth around the Internet that bloggers and webmasters should not spend money on advertising. The myth comes in great extent from the success stories of people that managed to create popular websites without spending a dime on advertising or other paid promotion techniques.

The reality is that most of those successful websites were pioneers on their niche, hence why they became popular without spending money on advertising. Now a days the market is crowded and you have thousands of websites and blogs even for small segments. As a consequence paid promotional techniques are becoming an important factor of any successful marketing strategy.
