Your call to action may be a free report, request form for a demo or it may be a call to buy something on the web.</p> <p>You have to make it clear what you want people to do.</p> <p>Even when people do get all the other pieces in place and start generating good traffic, I often see that they are happy with their call to action and they do not keep testing different ones.</p> <p>It is hard because to test it you either need to put a split test in place with custom software or you need to test one for a few weeks, track the data, and then test another one for a few weeks.</p> <p>If you want to throw some money at it and figure out which is the best call to action faster, then use adwords to drive more traffic and test the thing quicker.&nbsp;

The first is trial and error.<p />Another way is to look at what your competition is doing.&nbsp; If no one is using adwords then maybe it is not profitable in your niche.<p />And finally remember that there are a lot of hidden techniques you cannot see such as banner advertising that is hidden in a private mailing list.<p />These are just some of the things to consider when you are trying to figure out your best lead generation strategy.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-882419052438926418?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-77957155711186267052010-08-23T18:24:00.001-04:002010-08-23T18:24:01.020-04:00<div class='posterous_autopost'><p>A while back I wrote an article about how to build your own <a href="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/107557">lead generation engine</a> that you might be interested in.</p> <p>It is just a summay but can help you get started.</p> <p>Even though I how say "website" instead of "engine" I still really think of it as building an engine because it should be a system that works for you.</p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-7795715571118626705?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-29444860936494029552010-07-28T17:54:00.004-04:002010-07-28T18:02:51.372-04:00I have a bit of a crazy offer for you. <p> I am experimenting with some new software and I am offering 60 full days of lead generation training and tool access for only $1.

If your websites have quality content, are useful and help your prospective customer, your site referrals and website requests will go up. <p> This article is about different site hosting companies that match any marketing budget and I do mean any level. The following post will cover nearly free and low cost site hosting and we will cover the advantages and disadvantages of the hosting options. <p> Remember - no matter which host you select for your site, if you have not created a blog or site in the past, you could learn how to do it on your own, but if it is not a task you will keep doing regularly, then you should pay people or hire a website consultant. It can cost more but you will take too long figuring it out yourself. Many web designers can set up a Drupal CMS site in under one hour when you just are looking for the very basics. <p> Low cost hosting may have some outages. However, when you only have a low volume website and normal traffic level, there is no reason to ignore this inexpensive hosting option. Just don't forget you should make sure you do a backup of your website because these hosting businesses are probably not doing backups for you. <p> <b>Cheaper Domains</b> - It is important to understand that registering a domain name can vary in price, based on where you register the domain name. I use a lower cost registrar for website domains called <a href="http://www.outstandahosting.com">Outstanda Hosting</a>. True they do more than just hosting, but I often select the hosting packages at BlueHost. Bluehost charges more for domain registration though. So if you are skilled at pointing domains in one registrar to servers on other servers, this is the cheapest way to do it. You just set up the domain name server to the Bluehost Name Server and it will be easy. <p> <b>Host 10 Free Sites - <a href="http://affiliate.doteasy.com/index.cfm?M=red&B=2&T=544669&A=buzz">Dot Easy Hosting</a></b> - I had a person from this company email me about free hosting and the opportunity seems like it could help some people. You can do up to 10 sites for free on their site - which is a great offer. One of the ways they generate revenue is in the higher charging more to register your domain. If you do not plan to exceed ten websites any time soon, this might be the top hosting company for you. <p> <b>Cheap Hosting - <a href="http://www.ronmcdaniel.com/recommends/blue">Bluehost</a></b> - My sites have been hosted by Bluehost for a long time and the cheap cost of hosting all your sites is a bargain. Of course, Bluehost has the an occasional outage. But they have had good support and solved issues when appropriate. <p> These are just a sample of hosting service providers. You should to look around at hosting packages and the look at details. Some hosting programs offer you a nearly free 10 page website, but these are often just to get you set up in their system and you will need to expand at some point. Take some time to figure out what your needs are and choose the closest matching website hosting package that matches your needs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-6816642590785002634?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-16270401738955476652009-11-12T23:18:00.000-05:002009-11-12T23:18:00.152-05:00<p>&#160;</p> <p>How should you develop targeted leads and sales? </p> <p>Certainly, there are many <a href="http://www.buzzoodle.com">lead generation</a> tools and strategies. Here is an review of the best way to select any Internet tool or strategy to get more sales or leads. </p> <p>A Sales Lead Tool Should </p> <p></p> <ol> <li>Target the niche audience you want to sell to </li> <li>Must be a predictable formulas that can be tracked and evaluated </li> <li>Must demonstrate a solid return on investment that justifies its expense after a reasonable trial period </li> </ol> <p>Don't Buy Excuses </p> <p>There is nothing wrong with trying something that does not work. If fact, you need to be trying new things that are targeted and measurable to develop sales and targeted leads every month. However, when someone says you will increase sales and then it does not happen, stop doing it and move that advertising cash to a new lead generation experiment. But make sure you give it a reasonable amount of time first. </p> <p>One example: Google Adwords will work the same on the first day and day 365 assuming your skills stay the same. But it will be less a major factor with the adwords tool and more a motivation with your website landing page and your keywords. You need to try those and keep experimenting and moving your adwords budget before or after to get the best return on your advertising spend. </p> <p>For Search Engine Ranking lead generation tool like Buzzoodle, you have to look at the battle in the marketplace to assess the likelihood of success. It will surely generate sales in as little as two weeks but it depends on your sales leads target. Lead generation with blogging software does work better for successful marketplaces, but only when you commit to a solid strategy and make a specific call to action. Just owning a website that is not business results oriented will not generate sales leads or <a href="http://www.yourbusinesscoach.net/blogs/grow-sales">grow sales</a>. </p> <p>The generation of leads and sales that are targeted is going to increase greatly if you start with your final goal clearly defined. For example, you may say you are going to spend $3,000 on running an ad in trade publications but first set a goal of the number of targeted leads you want to obtain from the advertisement. How will you track the client generation and sales from the advertisement? If it turns out to have a great return, you are going to spend that money every month, right? So you have to know the metrics and goals going into any sales effort or targeted client generation . </p> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-1627040173895547665?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-61673638834455373882009-06-05T17:13:00.002-04:002009-06-05T17:17:03.928-04:00Read my <a href="http://pubhub.s3.amazonaws.com/aweber.htm">aWeber review</a> and find out why aWeber is a critical tool if you are looking to become a serious internet marketer or if you want to build a lead generation engine. <p> aWeber is an autoreponder which can automate follow ups when someone joins your list. <p> Do not confuse this with an email newsletter. They are nothing alike. eMail Newsletters are dead in most industries as people have finally figured out that most people do not want their news. <p> On the other hand, people do want to get a series of emails that help them with a problem they are having. <p> I wrote the <a href="http://pubhub.s3.amazonaws.com/aweber.htm">aWeber review</a> because I am passionate about that product and very appreciative of how much money it has helped me make.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-6167363883445537388?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-56119616884535140842009-05-07T18:06:00.002-04:002009-05-07T18:09:34.589-04:00I am working on a new product called <a href="http://www.freecarfreehousefreedom.com/">Free Car, Free House, Freedom</a> <p> This is going to be very interesting because we are going to address some of the worst issues around why people do not succeed at making money online. <p> If you are interested in building real online income consider going over and signing up for the list to keep updated on what we are doing.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-5611961688453514084?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-45885163450216346202009-04-21T17:10:00.002-04:002009-04-21T17:14:06.233-04:00Creating a Business Blog for Lead Generation is essentially understanding that you do not begin with a blog. You begin with a business outcome. Then you use <a href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com/index.php/2009/04/21/business-blog-software/">business blog software</a> as well as overall search engine strategies to get the traffic and results you need to justify your time and expense. <p> Business Blogging Software is going to help you focus on your search results and lead generation.

I started my first membership site about 9 months ago and it was anything but easy. However, now it has moved into the realm of profitable and we have worked out may of the kinks. <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Membership Website Rule #1 - Keep it simple</span> <p> I used the following software: Druple, Moodle, Ning, DotNetNuke and experimented with others. Finally, I decided to invest in a <a href="http://www.ronmcdaniel.com/recommends/wishlist">wonderful membership plugin for Wordpress</a> and I moved my membership website to Wordpress and I have been sooooo happy. <p> After more than 9 months I finally decided to start sharing my membership website experience and expertise, although I am still learning. <p> Here is the free blog (no membership) called <a href="http://www.website-membership.com/">membership website</a> that I started to document the membership website best practices that I have been developing. <p> Visit <a href="http://www.website-membership.com/blog/membership-site-script">membership website scripts</a> for information about software and scripts. <p> The <a href="http://www.website-membership.com/blog/membership-websites">membership websites blog</a> is going to be where I publish all this information - if you are interested in how to develop income with wordpress membership sites, be sure to bookmark that website and stop back often. <p> In case you are wondering: I might make the whole thing into a subscription-based membership site eventually, but for now it is free and if I make a little something off of the affiliate ads, I am happy.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-5466202197753108994?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-51374532258505367122009-01-10T15:16:00.003-05:002009-01-10T15:23:34.486-05:00A virtual assistant should diversify their income just like any other consultant, Internet Entrepreneur or contractor. If you are getting more than 25% of your income from a single client or source, you are in danger. <p> One long term strategy is to build passive and semi-passive income streams. These help you have stable additional virtual assistant income and they also can give you a practice product to hone your Internet Marketing skills. <p> See this review of <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/ilearningglobal-earn-income-and-learn-148.htm">iLearningGlobal</a>. <p> As you can see from that iLearningGlobal review, it is quit possible to get additional business training, get additional virtual assistant income and improve your Internet Marketing skills all at the same time.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-5137453225850536712?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-31027112868004503952008-12-27T09:00:00.004-05:002008-12-27T09:15:16.754-05:00Lots of people need a virtual assistant. <p> If you are looking for a <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-job-postings-116.htm">virtual assistant job</a> you have to be specific about what you are looking for. You might understand exactly what you are providing, or you might be willing to do any type of virtual task, but a client that is trying to fill <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-jobs-45.htm">virtual assistant jobs</a> is not going to be looking for people willing to do anything virtually. <p> Instead, they are going to be looking for people that can do very specific skills for them. <p> That is why our <span style="font-weight: bold;">Virtual Buzz Assistant network</span> provides training in how to specialize in being a <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/">Virtual Marketing Assistant</a>.

You need to have good marketing material, good community building and good sales coaching.

Then people will come to you.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-7320431175730685946?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-76720775279072599992008-12-06T20:02:00.000-05:002008-12-06T20:17:54.971-05:00You may have already heard about <a href="http://www.liquidlearning.com/ilearningglobal-7-reasons-to-join-36.htm">iLearningGlobal</a> - That link goes to the reasons I joined. <p> But you may be wondering if it is a good opportunity or not. </p><p> Here are the iLearningGlobal links that will answer your questions. </p><p> </p><ul><li><a href="http://www.liquidlearning.com/ilearning-global-review-55.htm">iLearning Global Review</a> - This post includes a text description of what is good and bad with iLearningGlobal as well as a video that will help you think about the issues.</li><li><a href="http://www.liquidlearning.com/what-does-our-team-of-ilearningglobal-independent-marketers-see-143.htm">iLearningGlobal Independent Marketer Training</a> - This is a link to the independent training center designed my Liquid Learning for iLearning Global Independent Marketers in the Liquid Learning Downline.</li><li><a href="http://www.ilearningglobal.biz/buzzoodle">iLearning Global Video Testimonials</a> - Here are the video testimonials on the main site.</li></ul> <p> I also realize that you may be wondering why I am even mentioning iLearningGlobal here.

Video Link: <a href="http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.channel&amp;ChannelID=431201399">Virtual Assistant Passive Income</a></p><p>The goal is to target a reasonable longtail key phrase: <strong>Virtual Assistant Passive Income</strong></p><p>Within 48 hours, one of the videos did land on the second page of Google at the #20 spot. But unless I also do a blog post about this subject, I cannot really compare which one is better. This blog post is going to be my test. The results will change day to day, so I am not posting the outcome here. You will need to go out and look in Google yourself for virtual assistnt passive income and see where things fall.</p><p>One point is this. I am using this blog to strengthen the MySpace video that showed up first, so even if the video ranks higher eventually for passive income for virtual assistants, it might end up being because this blog post gave it some extra juice.</p><p>Since I posted the same video to 5 different sites with similar keywords, I will know that the blog helped if it turns out that the MySpace video is much more strongly ranked than the others.</p><p>I know that this is just a micro-test and does not prove anything, but it is always interesting to see people do experiments, and I am very curious what will happen in this <strong>Virtual Assistant Passive Income experiment</strong>.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-1592609021816369636?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-82029373399390784932008-11-20T15:36:00.001-05:002008-11-20T15:40:48.877-05:00If you know me you know that I love two things: <p> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Technology and Marketing</span> <p> I just wrote a post over on the virtual buzz assistant blog about how <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/open-source-software-virtual-assistant-124.htm">virtual assistants can market open source software</a>. <p> Of course, Virtual Marketing Assistants can help nearly anyone market their product or service better, but I really wanted to dive into how to help a specific situation more. <p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-8202937339939078493?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-995184281628321402008-11-13T08:53:00.000-05:002008-11-13T09:05:40.616-05:00If you are interested in really creative ways to market a product, you should take a look at <a href="http://www.ilearningglobal.biz/buzzoodle">iLearning Global</a>. <p> It is an MLM - which initially turned me off. However, it is a really exceptional structure because it rewards people for recruiting only 5 people and then really helping those 5 build their 5. </p><p> Still, I did not join right away because of the stigma around MLM companies. However, what won me over is the quality of the product - just look at all the world class trainers involved. I would pay for the training access even if there was no MLM involved. </p><p> Read my <a href="http://www.liquidlearning.com/ilearning-global">iLearning Global Q&amp;A</a> </p><p> I am going to take this seriously. Sure, I feel a bit dirty being associated with ANYTHING that is MLM, but I am looking at it as a way to help people be more successful and really it is nothing more than a clever affiliate program.</p> <p style="font-weight: bold;">Marketing Lesson</p><p>Here is a big marketing lesson. If you create a really high end product with big name people involved, you can convince people to sell it fairly easily. And the people that I am teaming up with are really taking this thing seriously. They are meeting regularly, producing marketing material, strategically working together and all trying to help each other make a lot of money.</p><p>Creating buzz is all about creating advocates. And this thing is building a strong group of highly talented advocates very quickly. Getting in early and with a strong group is going to be critical to someone's success with it.</p><p>If you want to work with me on it, <a href="http://www.ilearningglobal.biz/buzzoodle">click here and consider joining</a> if it is a good fit for you. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-99518428162832140?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-64056874996817404642008-11-09T09:15:00.001-05:002008-11-09T09:22:20.955-05:00How do you find an get more<span style="font-weight: bold;"> virtual assistant projects</span>? <p /> I did a post over at the Virtual Buzz Assistant Network called <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-job-postings-116.htm">Virtual Assistant Job Postings</a> and even if you are not a virtual assistant, you should read it if you are writing proposals and soliciting new work. <p /> As I wrote it, I confess that I realized I was not doing half these things well either.

Really. <p> At Buzzoodle, we have just launched an <a href="http://www.buzzoodle.com/employee-evangelist.html">Employee Evangelism</a> program. </p><p> It is a hybrid of our one-on-one buzz marketing mentoring program and our employee evangelism workshop. It is especially sweet and special because it is better than those other things. </p><p> Go over and read the benefits on the site. You will see what I mean. </p><p> It is inexpensive because of the group aspect and using technology to manage the program. It is also incredibly valuable because if you got between 5 and 20 people creating steady buzz, even a little bit each month, you website traffic will increase, your sales will increase, and you will even occasionally hit a home run and end up in big media. </p><p> Go take a look at the program. I am very proud of this because it is finally a way to bring a cost-effective, incredibly valuable program to bigger businesses. </p><p> Employee Evangelism is only going to get bigger. Social Media is growing, and you cannot expect just your marketing department to keep up with it. You have to create a culture of social participation.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-8981262567524305781?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-23207772927002641892008-08-27T17:04:00.000-04:002008-08-27T17:09:14.334-04:00<span class="zemanta-img" style="margin: 1em; float: right; display: block;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Crystal_Clear_app_kwallet.png"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a3/Crystal_Clear_app_kwallet.png" alt="KDE Wallet Manager" style="border: medium none ; display: block;" /></a><span class="zemanta-img-attribution" style="margin: 1em 0pt 0pt; display: block;"><a href="http://commons.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Crystal_Clear_app_kwallet.png"></a> </span></span>I just did a post on the <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-blog-79.htm">Virtual Assistant Blog</a> and invited other people that have a virtual assistant blog to post a link to their blog in the comments as well. <p> My hope is that it becomes a great resource where you can find a comprehensive list of great virtual assistant blogs. </p><p> Our Virtual Assistant Blog has grown very fast even though it is only 4 months old and in a crowded marketplace.

It is a perfect solution that is not as expensive as hiring a marketing agency, but not as difficult as doing all the internet marketing activities themselves. <p> The #1 reason that a Virtual Marketing Assistant fails is that small business owners just want them to do too many things - and have unrealistic expectations on the outcome. </p><p> A Virtual Marketing Assistant can help you execute your marketing plan. But your marketing plan better be better than - just go out and create buzz for me. If you do not have a clue of where you want to start, you need to hire an <a href="http://www.buzzoodle.com">Internet &amp; Buzz Marketing Agency</a> to help you craft your strategy. Then you can hire <a href="http://http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/get-help-with-your-buzz-marketing/buzz-examples">Virtual Marketing Assistants</a> to help you keep your strategy going month after month. </p><p> And I am not here to tell you that you have to have someone else do it. Anyone can do Internet Marketing themselves, but it takes a lot of time and willingness to continually learn, test and create great information.</p><div style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;" class="zemanta-pixie"><a class="zemanta-pixie-a" href="http://reblog.zemanta.com/zemified/e5a4072c-a10c-40bc-b99f-dd81814a239a/" title="Zemified by Zemanta"><img style="border: medium none ; float: right;" class="zemanta-pixie-img" src="http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=e5a4072c-a10c-40bc-b99f-dd81814a239a" alt="Zemanta Pixie"></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-3249297990328463535?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-79828570504226247212008-08-02T21:32:00.003-04:002008-08-02T21:48:21.478-04:00Are you looking for great <span style="font-weight: bold;">Virtual Assistant Jobs</span>? <p> One option is to specialize in Internet Marketing and become a virtual buzz assistant. Virtual Buzz Assistants can see <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-jobs-45.htm">virtual assistant jobs</a> in the network and contact people looking for help with their internet marketing tasks. <p> Most virtual assistants say they do internet marketing, but it takes time and training to become really skilled as an internet marketer. That is why we formed the <a href="http://virtualbuzznetwork.com/">virtual assistant network</a> for buzz creation. <p> The virtual buzz assistant network includes training, video, a forum, a virtual buzz assistant job board and a blog publishing system that makes it easy for a virtual assistant to publish articles on blogs for their clients. <p> There are many freelance sites and job boards, but the virtual buzz assistant network is a smaller group of people (think less competition) that get requests from people specifically interested in getting help with blogging, social media and internet marketing. <p> There are a few spots left at the current price and then it will close and the pricing will rise when it reopens. Probably my favorite aspect, beyond the work at home angle, is that as you become a more experienced virtual buzz assistant, you can charge more money per hour and you are honing your internet marketing skills. Eventually I expect that some people will get so good that they will start doing it for themselves and not do it for clients anymore. <p> Fun, easy and in high demand. You should take a look whether you want to be a virtual buzz assistant or if you want to <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/virtual-assistant-jobs-45.htm">post a virtual assistant job</a> request on the network for FREE.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-7982857050422624721?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-34183663330215410152008-07-17T16:21:00.002-04:002008-07-17T16:22:56.107-04:00<p><a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/30-day-virtual-assistant-business-launch-pad-48.htm#comments"></a></p> <p><a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/eb/"><img alt="Business Launch Pad" src="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ebook30cover.gif" align="left" border="0" vspace="vspace" hspace="hspace" /></a><strong>Thinking about launching a Virtual Assistant Business?</strong></p> <p>I started out writing this eBook as a members-only kind of resource.

The problem is in the term "<a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com">Virtual Assistant</a>." <p> <strong>Virtual</strong> - they work from another location. <p> <strong>Assistant</strong> - they help with something you are doing already. <p> This is very broad. If you try to hire a Virtual Assistant, you will find out just how broad. <p> Virtual Assistants can be everyone from low cost people that barely speak English to high end business consultants and coaches that offer to guide you as an assistant. Instead of selling "Virtual Assistant" services, there needs to have focus and clarity. For example, the Virtual Buzz Assistants or Virtual Marketing Assistants that focus exclusively on creating Internet visiblity. <p> By specializing, clients know what they are getting and they are less likely to request additional stuff like ordering flowers or booking a hotel. You do not want marketing professionals doing that for you and more than you want a travel agent doing your Internet Marketing - but many Virtual Assistants try to be all things to all people. <p> So if you are hiring a Virtual Assistant to help with your marketing, here are some tips. <p> <strong>1) English Fluency<p> </strong>Assuming you are marketing an English language site, be sure they are 100% fluent in English and familiar with the culture. It only takes one poorly chosen word to kill the message in marketing. <p> <strong>2) Ethical Practices<p> </strong>Make sure they are familiar with ethical practices in Internet Marketing. Doing stealth marketing or hiding your identity can get you in trouble. Visit the Word of Mouth Marketing Association for ethical guidelines. <p> <strong>3) Industry Experience</strong><p> If you can find a virtual assistant that has worked with a client in your industry before, even if it was not completely successful, they still have a head start with that experience. I would always pay more for someone with industry knowledge. <p> <strong>4) Track Record<p> </strong>It is not hard to see if someone gets Internet Marketing. If they do, they are always developing resources that market their services and that they can use with clients. If you interview a Virtual Assistant that does not have a blog and/or eNewsletter, I would not have faith in their skills. <p> <strong>5) Clear Plan</strong><p> To begin with, you need to have a clear goal in mind. Not something like increase sales, that is too broad. Something like increasing website traffic by x or increase search engine visibility for specific keywords. If you are specific with your goal, a good Virtual Assistant with Internet Marketing experience will be able to put together specific activities that will lead to accomplishing your goals. <p> <strong>6) Willing to Learn<p> </strong>A good Virtual Assistant is willing to take some time to get to know your business and do some research. That might happen before or after you hire them, but it should happen before they start telling you what you need to do. <p> When many people look for a Virtual Assistant, they are looking for a Virtual Expert at a Virtual Assistant price. Hiring a Virtual Assistant to do Internet Marketing can be a very cost effective option, especially with the constantly changing Internet landscape. You have to be willing to hire someone that has specialized and to be involved with them to clearly plan and execute your goals. <p> <blockquote>To find out more about what Virtual Buzz Assistants do, Visit the <a id="link_83" href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/" target="_new">Virtual Buzz Assistant Network</a><p> Ron McDaniel is author of Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing and writes the <a id="link_84" href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com/" target="_new">Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing Blog</a> - with over 900 Buzz Marketing articles available FREE.<p> Ron is a national speaker and frequently speaks to groups of non-technical business owners on how to make the most of the many free Internet tools that are available to them.<p> Ron also runs the Virtual Buzz Assistant Network, where he brings together Virtual Assistants trained in Internet Marketing with Business Owners that need Internet Marketing support. </blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-8559660225156248480?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-88764549751696792692008-06-20T12:06:00.002-04:002008-06-20T12:07:30.549-04:00<p>If you want to see the right way to do a contest, look at <a href="http://www.johncow.com"><strong>JohnCow.com</strong></a> - I <a href="http://www.johncow.com/cowpetition-draw-did-you-win/">won a 10 hour audio blog mastery set</a> - I just wish my <a href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com">Buzzoodle blog</a> would have gotten a back link.&#160; </p> <p>Since the audio series is from <a href="http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/">Yaro Starak - who is a master blogger</a> - I am thrilled.&#160; I am sure the first hour or two will be&#8230; what is a blog, how to set up a blog, blah, &#8230;..but I expect to learn a lot from this full time blogger that is currently traveling the world and making money while blogging. </p> <p>John Cow did a great job of documenting the creation of a new blog through its sale - all in about a month.&#160; I am interested to see how much it sells for, because many hours went into making it a fast success - and anything short of $10,000 I would consider a bad investment of my time.&#160; It is part of a challenge they have with another web expert.</p> <p>You can see the current bid for the next few weeks at the top of the Johncow blog.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-8876454975169679269?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-61028575571356795462008-04-15T16:49:00.001-04:002008-06-02T17:56:50.363-04:00<!--Begin---> <A HREF="http://www.buzzoodle.com/cmd.asp?Clk=2427931"><IMG SRC="http://www.liquidlearning.com/virtual-buzz-assistant.gif" ALT="Virtual Buzz Assistant" WIDTH="190" HEIGHT="300" border=0></A> <br><img src="http://www.buzzoodle.com/cmd.asp?Imp=2427931" width="0" height="0" border="0"> <!--End--->You might wonder what a Virtual Assistant that specializes in buzz would do for you. Here are some ideas. <p> Blog Writing and Promotion <p> While many organizations create blogs, they often do not have the time to keep them updated. Writing a post each week for an organization is a good way for them to keep content at least semi-fresh and keep readers coming back. <p> List Development &amp; Management <p> Managing and growing a list of email subscribers is one of the best investments an organization can make. Having help to make sure the list is grown well and contacted regularly helps organizations get more results. <p> Social Networking <p> Social Networks are often used by businesses to connect with consumers. Never hide your identity or intent, but many organizations pay virtual assistants to manage social network accounts on their behalf and keep them fresh. <p> Online Advocacy &amp; PR <p> Contacting bloggers and writers and offering product samples, interview opportunities and interesting content is a great service a Virtual Buzz Assistant can provide. It builds links and word of mouth. <p> Resource Development <p> Writing good articles in places (Like Hubpages) that provide value and raise the visibility of the organization can be done every month. <p> Group Contacting <p> Online Groups can be contacted with special offers and free trials. Always contact the person in charge of the group and ask permission before just posting. <p> Employee Profile Management <p> Organizations with lots of employees sometimes hire Virtual Buzz Assistants to manage the profiles of employees online. An organization that has 100's of employees can generate a lot of visibility by having those profiles published in the many places where people put profiles. <p> Community Management <p> Participate and manage an online community that an organization wants to develop. The software is the easy part. Building active usage of an online community takes ongoing effort, perfect for a Virtual Buzz Assistant. <p> These are just some of the things that someone could do working from home as a Virtual Buzz Assistant. The ability to create buzz and engage an audience is in high demand. The low start up skills for this make it the perfect start up company for people that want to work from home and launch a business quickly - and with no gimmicks. <p> <a href="http://virtualbuzzassistant.com/">Request a Virtual Buzz Assistant</a></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-6102857557135679546?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-12116993870994747062008-04-13T09:33:00.001-04:002008-04-13T09:52:12.645-04:00For years, we have seen that companies want this service.

And another more interesting charge, the notable z-listers. I moved from a Blogspot blog to this Word Press blog a while back and I knew it would hurt my traffic. I accepted it and got on with life. Thus, I am more a z-lister now than before. <p> The cool thing the viral garden is doing is asking people to put up his list of notable z-list blogs on your blog, if you have one. Just copy and paste. Blogs are given rank by traffic and by links to the blog. I love this viral, grass roots effort to help people find good blogs that have less buzz at this point. I love it more because I am on the list. Here it is. <ul> <li><a href="http://shotgunconcepts.blogspot.com/">Shotgun Marketing Blog</a> <li><a href="http://www.brandsizzle.com/">BrandSizzle</a> <li><a href="http://lgbusinesssolutions.typepad.com/solutions_to_grow_your_bu">bizsolutionsplus</a> <li><a href="http://customersrock.wordpress.com/">Customers Rock!</a> <li><a href="http://www.beingpeterkim.com/">Being Peter Kim</a> <li><a href="http://www.twohatmarketing.com/ramblog/">Two Hat Marketing</a> <li><a href="http://theengagingbrand.typepad.com/">The Emerging Brand</a> <li><a href="http://thebrandingblog.com/">The Branding Blog</a> <li><a href="http://craphammer.ca/">CrapHammer</a> <li><a href="http://www.drewsmarketingminute.com/">Drew’s Marketing Minute</a> <li><a href="http://www.goldenmarketing.typepad.com/">Golden Practices</a><a href="http://viaspire.blogs.com/weblog">Viaspire</a> <li><a href="http://www.telltenfriends.com/blog">Tell Ten Friends</a> <li><a href="http://flooringtheconsumer.blogspot.com/">Flooring the Consumer</a> <li><a href="http://www.douglaskarr.com/">On Influence and Automation</a> <li><a href="http://wendy.kinesisinc.com/">Kinetic Ideas</a> <li><a href="http://www.msco.com/blog">MSCO</a> <li><a href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com/">Buzzoodle</a> <li><a href="http://newspapergrl.wordpress.com/">NewsPaperGrl</a> </li></ul> Nice idea and I am looking forward to visiting all these blogs.

In the coming weeks we will be launching the spanish version of this blog. <p> <strong>Why? </strong> First, to build our brand in different markets and reach a wider web audience. Next, some people in the US prefer to read in Spanish. Also, there are fewer Spanish marketing blogs and we think we will stand out more, although I have seen some excellent Spanish marketing blogs. <p> Lastly, we are working on partnerships with people in other parts of the world that will resell our products and spread our message as part of their marketing services. Having some of our content translated into other languages will speed the growth and adoption of Buzz Marketing with employees. <p> If you were to put up just a few pages welcoming people in other languages and explaining your services, how much do you think your audience would grow? Just keep in mind that they may think you have someone on staff that speaks the language. If they call be prepared to handle it. There are more and more services that can help you with this. Some call centers are fielding customer calls just in different languages. This can help you start the buzz in places where you will not even know what they are saying. </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-115867179536046074?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-1158602146330862692006-09-18T13:50:00.000-04:002006-09-18T13:55:46.353-04:00Starting over is rotten. The reason you want to start out in a professional blog solution is because starting over really is not fun. It is a lot of work only to see your numbers drop for the short term. I moved to <a href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com">http://blog.buzzoodle.com</a> because there is a long term advantage. However, moving sooner would have been better. It is great to now have full control of the blog, but I know it will be about 9 months before I start seeing the same traffic that this one sees. If you are starting a blog and are thinking "<em>I will just use a free one and try it out briefly</em>." , think again. Commit to pay a little bit and commit to make it successful. You will be glad you did.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-115860214633086269?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11612971.post-1158495640898666162006-09-17T08:19:00.000-04:002006-09-17T08:20:40.913-04:00Read the post about how a small business is not paying attention to detail and putting nasty stuff in plain sight on the <a href="http://blog.buzzoodle.com/index.php/2006/09/16/what-do-your-customers-notice/">new Buzzoodle Blog</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11612971-115849564089866616?l=buzzoodle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Buzzoodle Ronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13533079241511241072noreply@blogger.com0
