Is Kajabi the end of WordPress?

I think you all know that I’m a big fan of wordpress. Quite simply, I’ve never found anything better for attracting traffic over the internet and publishing my content.

Then 3 months ago I started beta testing Kajabi, this is a premium content delivery platform from Internet Guru Andy Jenkins and I’ve now become a fan. Not only does it deliver the content, but it also stimulates audience interaction and takes the payment. It’s a complete information marketing system in a box.

Well it’s not out yet, but you can download a Kajabi internet marketing report at: http://get.kajabi.com/

Better still, there’s no optin or any other hurdle. It seems that Andy Jenkins has got so many leads on his list, he just doesn’t need any more.

Incidentally, don’t panic, it’s not a substitute for WordPress. When it come to traffic generation – WordPress is still K I N G ! … But it’s a great augmentation for delivering your content to your WordPress customers.

Hopefully the software will be out soon!

Sales Lead Generation – How to Get Red Hot Customer Leads from your Website

Is your website working hard for you as a sales lead generation tool?

Your web site can be so much more than just a pretty brochure that tells your target customers all about your business. They’ve come to your site and found out a bit more about the services you offer but what next?

Are they going to hit the back button and go off to one of your competitor’s sites or are they inspired to leave their details with you or call you up. Because if they are not taking some sort of positive action to put business your way, it’s fair to say that your web site has failed in its main aim – to generate new business leads.

Put simply, your web site should be working hard for you by getting you new sales leads.

So how do you turn your current static site into the ultimate sales lead generation tool?

  • First you need to work out who your target market is and how you find them online – what keywords they use in their searches.
  • Then you need to get yourself seen online for those search terms through optimisation techniques. (That’s a whole different ballgame and not one I have time to address in this article).
  • Now here comes the really essential bit – when they come to your site you need a way of keeping them there and capturing their details so you can follow them up. Whether you are trying to get business to business leads or appealing to the general public, we all fiercely guard our personal details. You need to offer something pretty special in order for people to part with their email or phone number. There are many ways of doing this, giving a free report, a discount voucher, access to an information video and so on.

Get this right and your sales lead generation is working. You should have a list of hot sales lead to email or call up. Now it’s up to you to sell them something!

Video SEO

Video SEO and Internet Video Marketing

Now many of you have heard me talk about the importance of establishing links from other people’s web sites to your own. Google regards websites with a large number of back links as high authority. For instance, Wikipedia has 75 million websites linking in and so it’s never far from the top of Google.

Now some sites offer free content to web masters who want to put articles on their own web sites. A few years ago, I discovered that I could put an article onto these sites with my embedded links and as people copied the articles onto their own site; I would automatically get their back links. Better still, other web masters would copy these duplicates and so the number of back links would spread exponentially.

So what’s Internet Marketing got to do with Video SEO?

Then Google stopped the party by ignoring duplicate content. They now only use the original article and discount all the clones. Hence no more rapid increase in back links.

Video SEO

Well the party has started again! You can now get the same effect with videos because Google can’t recognise copies. Better still, they index videos almost immediately. We’ve now got software for farming your videos out to 1000s of directories and video sites to power your back links.

This means, you can get to the top quickly and spread your brand across the internet using these Video SEO techniques. Besides, everyone loves videos, they act as a great engagement tool for your site visitors. Look at your site stats and you’ll see that your pages with videos keep your visitors on the site for longer.

Don’t Choose Your Internet Marketing Agency Before You Consider These 5 Points

  1. What role does your web site play in your overall business strategy?

    Do you view your web site as an online brochure that ticks the “I’m online” box or do you view it as a way to generate new business? The very fact that you are considering employing an internet marketing agency suggests you want to make your web site work harder for your business and not just be a “pretty face”.
    Your web site can and should be one of the most important marketing tools you possess. Choose a partner that understands your business and works with you to create a strategy that brings floods of customers to your site.

  2. How much time can you invest in making your web site a success?

    There’s no getting away from it, it take effort to get your web site to the top of the search engines. Yes, there are plenty of tools and techniques to help get you there but pure elbow grease is needed to make it all happen. Do you want your internet marketing agency to undertake all of that work for you or are you prepared to put in some time as well? If it’s the latter, will they work with you and teach you how to do it?

  3. What’s your budget?

    This follows on from the last point. In order to keep costs down, you can employ an internet marketing agency to create your strategy but then you can take on the much of the work yourself – writing the copy, managing the content on the site, social networking etc. Choose a partner that allows that flexibility in pricing if that’s what you want.

  4. What’s the track record of the internet marketing agency?

    Ask them for success stories and client referrals. It’s all very well getting the site to the top of the search engines but what you really need to see is whether their sites get the visitors and do they convert those visitors into customers. Ask to see real results!

  5. Is your internet marketing agency ahead of the game?

    The world of online marketing never stays still. The search engines are constantly changing their algorithms; your competitors are always trying to stay one step ahead. The techniques and tools that were working even 6 months ago maybe yesterday’s news. How does the agency keep abreast of the latest developments? What investment do they make in training and research?

There are loads of internet marketing agencies out there but you need to choose the one that you believe will bring you the most new business and you would enjoy working with.

Finally be prepared before you make your choice by doing some research. Discover more about our internet marketing agency and strategies by downloading our free “Internet Lead Generation Blueprint” report now.

Web Design Hampshire

Web Design Hampshire: The biggest mistake you can make with your new site build!

Yes, getting a stunning design is important, but don’t even think about choosing one of the web design Hampshire businesses until you’ve covered this base! Click here to find out more …

I know your time is valuable, so let’s get straight to the point:

This is not your normal web design company. If you’re only looking for slick flash pages or dazzling web design, then this site is not for you. Instead, this site can teach you something very different, something very powerful.

But first let me illustrate the top blunder where website designers frequently go wrong, with this Hampshire client case study.

Recently a client proudly showed me their new website that had been designed by a London agency for £12,000 and they now wanted to know how they could now get customers to see the site. Unfortunately, the answer was to spend another £12,000 on advertising to drive people to their Web address.

You see, this “fancy” new site was all done in Flash and so was completely invisible to the search engines. Too many people address the design first and then getting customers second. Continue reading

Internet Marketing Advertising

Will Internet Marketing Advertising Get My Site Seen?

Getting your website seen is the number one priority for any business owner who is serious about attracting new customers online.

But just how do you turn your website into your number one marketing weapon?  Should you use some form of internet marketing advertising?

Carrying out an Internet Marketing Advertising Campaign

The quickest method to be seen online is to conduct some form of advertising campaign. Pay per click advertising or PPC is the most common way to advertise, be it on search engines directly or on other popular sites. Some of the largest search engines like Google offer a targeted format where you pay only when someone clicks on your advert. You can set up an account, decide your cost per click value that meets your requirements and set a overall budget. If you enter a high enough value, your ad will display on relevant sites and search results to match keywords you entered in the campaign settings.

The upside is within minutes of signing up your website is visible to the world, the downside is if you don’t know what you are doing you might be throwing away all your marketing budget with little to show for it. PPC can be costly and the minute you turn off your advert, your site is nowhere to be seen.

What’s the alternative to internet marketing advertising

The alternative to internet marketing advertising is get your site to the top of the search engines through organic internet marketing or search engine optimisation (SEO) as it is termed. But where do you start? Just google “SEO” and you’ll be overwhelmed with the amount of techniques and tools out there. It’s not something you can master in an hour and not surprisingly, many business owners end up paying a lot of money to SEO experts to get their sites seen.

The good news is there are some simple rules to follow that will help you get to the top of the search engine without having to spend a fortune on outside help or hours slaving over a self help manual.

We’ve put together a cheat sheet that shows you just how to structure your web site to get search engine traffic.

  • Are people subscribing to your RSS feeds and spreading the word to each other

Innovation Launch Machine

The Innovation Launch Machine

Britain has an outstanding record of invention but often misses out on exploitation. It’s hard to get risk capital to turn technology ideas into market winners.  However, it’s not just the absence of capital that causes problems:

  • Entrepreneurs often don’t understand how to create investable propositions


It’s a shame, because well executed projects that resolve technology risk in the context of strong market pull leads to the greatest value for both investors and the UK. It worked for us in the industrial revolution and today we simply can’t afford to miss the boat.

So what do I propose?

  • An investment internet portal that makes donating funds as easy as using the “Just Giving” charity site
  • Simpler financial compliance by limiting donations to small sums of money – micro-investments
  • The hosting of educational materials to help entrepreneurs create a perfect “dragon’s den” pitch

The commercialisation of this innovation launch machine will be through modest membership fees and a percentage of funds raised.

Imagine a UK that can boast more than just pioneering research and development, but that can claim to be the “first stop” for all the world’s entrepreneurs who wish to get their innovations off the ground. This would lead to a huge influx of ideas that would power our prosperity for the next century as well as solving some of the world’s most pressing problems.

I’m Raglan Tribe and I’m looking for TSB investment to get my idea of the ground. Specifically,

  • The development of a legally compliant micro-investment portal with tracking and audit to ensure that investors get a great deal

Attracting Traffic With Great Content

Now key to online marketing is the generation of content rich sites that target the specific keyword phrases that are typed into the search engines by your customers.

So for instance, if people type in “Mortgages for people with bad credit ratings” You would write an article that advises your customers what sort of mortgages to go for, how they can fix their bad credit scores and how to minimise the negative effects.

At this point, many of my clients throw their hands up in horror at the prospect of having to write endless articles.

But look at it this way; it’s no different to directly answering your customers’ questions and objections. Next time you have one of those phone conversations with a customer, record the dialogue and make that the basis for an article. When you publish the article, you are now addressing all your potential prospects and demonstrating your expertise to a much larger audience.

With time you will develop a cult following within your niche market. Customers will actively seek you out and be prepared to pay more as a result.

I am now looking for service providers who want to use our marketing services to become highly sought after experts in their chosen markets.
