I know it’s Monday and that your time is at a premium thanks to all of the Holiday preparations…

If there was a better time to send this, I would… But it’s simply too important…

Over the past week , I’ve been letting all my contacts know about a project that my friend Mike Dillard created last year that I’m very passionate about called The Elevation Group…

Basically, he’s been showing the Middle Class how to turn these times of economic hardship into massive financial opportunity, but…

We’ve been holding out on you…

There is an infinitely bigger agenda behind this project that I’ve known about for a few weeks…

One that will affect you, your children, and millions of people around the world in the coming years…

If you are fed up with the corruption on Wall Street and in Washington, then you will jump for joy when you see this…

They are literally going to change the world, which is why I’ve been so passionate about sharing this message with you…

Today I finally get to share that plan with you, and ask you for your help…
Please take a moment to watch this video with your significant other tonight… (Especially if you have, or plan to have children).

In the beginning, most people saw the internet a new way of communicating with others around the world. Email opened up new ways to communicate faster that mailing through the postal service or using a fax machine. A lot has changed the past two decades and today the internet is changing how consumers find local businesses and small business marketing…in a BIG WAY!

In fact when the internet was developed most people thought only huge corporations with large advertising budgets would benefit from what the internet had to offer. The past few years the online world has undergone a rapid transformation and just about everyone has become familiar with browsers and search engines. Because of these technological breakthroughs any online business does not need to be a household name with deep pockets to be getting customers to their web site. All that is now required is to have a much stronger online presence. .

Through the internet and internet connected mobile devices, more and more people looking for local businesses online instead of the better known larger companies.  As long as your business has a good online presence there are many opportunities to improve the prospects of your business.

When it comes to building the right sort of online presence there are numerous different marketing strategies that you can employ.  As you will soon discover there are hundreds or even thousands of people who want to find the product or service that your business offers and it is through use of the internet they consumers have found that this is the best way.  Once you embrace the Internet as a viable way of attracting new customers, clients and prospects, you are able to take your business to the next level.

The internet is evolving and changing how consumers find local business and this is your opportunity to claim more of those potential customers from your competitors.

You have three choices for your small business marketing plan when it comes to internet and mobile marketing: 

1) Put in the time and effort NOW to learn how to improve your company’s online presence.

2) Hire someone like an local internet marketing expert to do it for you… or…

3) Ignore where your audience is going and let your business customers find your competition.

 
If you accept choices 1 or 2 and act on them to integrate small business internet marketing into your advertising strategy, then you will then begin to see your company grow and of course reap the benefits of increased profits. These are the best choices especially for tough economic times or businesses that have stagnant growth. There are plenty of businesses that are wondering if they should stay with choice #3…don’t let that be your business! All the goodies go to those businesses that are aggressive in the offline world, as well as the online world!

This video shows a way to get your local business online classified ad to STAND OUT from the crowd!

Advertising your business on Craigslist.org., Backpage.com and other free online classified ad sites can bring your business more traffic to your website, leads and sales if done correctly.

Craigslist is one of the most visited high traffic websites in the world and is a great place to target your audience for your products and servcies. What’s great about free online classifieds is that you can afford to test various ads without breaking the bank!

Most businesses that try free online classified ads get buried in the mix of tons of competing ads, and experience a very low click through rate and see very little response with their ads.

So HOW do you get  Better Response Rates with your free online classified ads for your business?

One key factor is having a free online classified ad that not only contains the important details and offerings of the business, but is also appealing to look at.

On top of that using effective keywords in your title and body of the ad helps prospects to find your ad with a variety of searches. Another bonus by using the proper keywords is that your Craiglist ad can show up in the search engines like Google.com, Yahoo.com and Bing.com. Althought these listings that show up in the search engine results might not last for long…for the price of FREE advertising it’s a pretty sweet deal!

At http://www.OnTheWebVIDEO.com we specialize in online marketing that makes your company stand out! Give On The Web VIDEO of Salem Oregon a call at 971-240-6000 and we can design a Craiglist ad that will help your company to rise above the crowd!  You can use your ad(s) over and over again, or have us design several ads that each target a different product or service with keywords that make your free online classified ads more effective!

Are you sick of paying HIGH PRICES for Yellow Page and Print Ads, and feel like you are getting nowhere with Radio or Television Spots?

Then do what BIG Companies do…they tap into the power of the Internet to MAXIMIZE their advertising dollars and attract new customers and clients around the clock…long after the service is paid for!

Then reality HITS! After a few weeks…you have some new questions. Where are all my new leads, customers and prospects? Why isn’t my phone ringing off the hook? Wasn’t getting online with a website or blog supposed to be the miracle cure?

You were probably told you needed two things…Get a pretty website or blog…and get listed on Google…and the rest will take care of itself.

You are not alone! These days well over 50% of local small businesses have some sort of website, webpage or blog online. The big frustration is HOW do you get your website or blog to CONVERT into prospects and new customers for your local business? The answer is MARKETING…both ON your website and ON THE INTERNET pointing back to your website.

First let’s go over 3 Keys you need for successful marketing:

1) Traffic

2) Conversion

3) Profit

With #1 Traffic: You need lots of it! All kinds, online and offline to give your business a chance to succeed. If you had a pizza restaurant, but no foot traffic (lack of effective marketing)…I think you would agree, that would be pretty bad! Well if you have a website or blog for your pizza restaurant, and no Internet traffic (lack of effective INTERNET Marketing) that could be very disappointing as well. So you must have effective offline marketing as well as effective online marketing to fuel your business.

#2. Conversion: This is where most websites, blogs and offline and online marketing in general falls short. Here’s an example.

Let’s say you have a website or blog that looks great! Maybe you built it yourself, or had a friend or family member build it, or maybe you hired a web designer.

Does your website CONVERT website visitors to warm prospects or customers? If not, then your website or blog might be missing some important MARKETING PRINCIPLES! That sad part is, you could have a ton of visitors to your website, but if your website does not portray effective marketing principles, statistics have shown, they will just leave your website in 10 seconds or less!

Marketing Tip: Try to look at your website from the prospects point of view. Is your website appealing and does it look professional? Look at the websites of some of your competitors. If your website passes this test, that’s great!

Next, is your location, services and contact information easy to find on your website without a lot of navigation? This last one might surprise you! You see, many people who build websites may not understand marketing, and therefore can build a website that looks appealing, but lacks MARKETING PRINCIPLES to CONVERT visitors to customers and clients.

One of the reasons that OnTheWebVIDEO.com of Salem Oregon encourages businesses to use videos on their website is to increase the power of the marketing message and personality for the business.  A professionally created video can dramatically improve the effectiveness of any website or blog, thus increasing the chance of a visitor becoming a seriously interested prospect for your business, or better yet, a paying customer.

So even if you are paying a TON of money to get more traffic with flyers, pay per click advertising, radio or TV to direct prospects to your website, without the proper marketing principles on your website or marketing campaigns…that could very well be traffic and money down the drain!

#3. Profit: The entire idea of going online with your website was to increase your profits of your business. That’s always the bottom line.

A simple website (even if it is not that pretty), that is designed with effective marketing principles will beat out some of the most expensive websites that are loaded with great information, but confuse the visitor with no real “call to action”. Your marketing is the same way. So should you use Yellow Pages, Print ads, Coupons, Radio or Television advertising? Or should you use Internet Marketing…or both?

Every business is different, and different strategies will apply to different markets, but one thing is clear. Online Marketing (Internet Marketing)provides great “bang for the buck” when done properly and can reap big rewards, for lower cost, and over a longer period of time. We notice this all the time with our clients, as long after their video creation and internet campaigns have been paid for…those videos, articles and content that we have distributed online, and put on their websites, are still working for them around the clock, 365 days a year. That’s why many of our clients keep coming back to OnTheWebVIDEO.com because we have many ways to create more customers and clients by tapping into the Internet, for a far lower cost than traditional media. Once they see that they we can increase their visibility on the search engines, and provide better conversion for less cost, they keep coming back for more!

In summary, just remember the 3 keys in simple formula above.

1) Lot’s of Traffic  PLUS 2) Great Conversions Equals 3) More Profit!

Many families are feeling the “pinch” and businesses are doing their best to control costs to prevent raising their prices that could potentially drive away customers and clients.

Here are some ideas could help put the situation back in your favor.

If you have a business you can ramp up your promotion and marketing to get more customers/clients to make more money. You can also review your budget to see where you can cut costs.

The same is true for families…the solution is simple but not always easy to do.

1) Make more money…

2) Cut the family budget or business budget (not that much fun at all)

3) Increase revenues and cut back expenses at the same time.

4) Do nothing ( not recommened at all!)

There is a new company that can actually help cut costs for businesses and consumers alike, and it’s much better than a coupon site because everything inside the membership is FREE! It’s called “That Free Thing” and it officially pre-launched March 1, 2011 and in the first two weeks, picked up over 12,000 paid members, and over 40,000 free members.

What is so significant about “That Free Thing” is that all the hard work and special deals are found for you, and these are FREE items, NOT 2 for ones…totally free items!

Can you really get FREE stuff?

Yes you can…National and small companies all over the world give away free stuff all the time to get you to try their products and services. In fact you can search the Internet for free stuff but be prepared to be overwhelmed with nearly 100 million search results in Google alone! “That Free Thing” finds the best deals for you, and very soon their iPhone, Android and Blackberry app will notify you of fresh free stuff in your area even when you are on the move!

Those who are interested in the Full Member Benefits
of  “That Free Thing” can check out this link: Here

Full membership is very affordable at $25 to join, and then only $9.95 a month thereafter. My family saved over $100 in just the first few hours, and that was when only 380 free things were listing in the members area. Very soon (within the next week) there will be over 1,000 free things to choose from, so dollar for dollar an extremely good value. This will continue to grow in membership and free offers so the value at only $9.95 per month just gets better all the time.

Sites like Groupon.com and LivingSocial.com who offer 50%  or better savings, still cost money. With these business platforms, you get a “deal-a-day” sent to your inbox but you still have to SPEND money to get them. That FREE Thing is different…because the items are FREE! My family saved over $100 the first couple hours of membership…not a bad return on our money!

With the price of food, clothing and especially gas on the rise…it makes sense to save where ever you can. That Free Thing is already worldwide and one of the best things I can share with friends, family and co-workers to help them to cut costs, make more money, and most of all…have more fun!

At the very least…check out the free membership to get 5 Freebies Per Week, absolutely free! Take a Free Look at “That Free Thing”  Here

I’m confident that you will want the full membership, but taking the “free look” is a no risk way to see if getting free stuff should be part of your financial strategy to cut personal and business costs.

     1. 60% of Internet traffic is generated by consumers who are watching videos online.

     2. More video is uploaded on YouTube in 60 days than all 3 major U.S. Networks created 
         in 60 years

     3. Hundreds of millions of videos are watched every month on mobile devices

         6x a minute, looking for new and highly relevant web video content.

     5. Websites with video hold attention 10 times longer than text only.

     6. 68% of the top 50 Internet retailers utilize videos on their websites.

     7. After viewing an online video ad, about 46% of viewers take some sort of action; 
         whether it’s visiting the company’s website, requesting additional information 
         or purchasing the product/service

     8. Prospects are more likely to respond to a video ad than a website link, banner ad, 
         or any other type of ad over the internet by 3x to 4x.
