PostHeaderIcon How To Avoid The Urge To Spam On FaceBook!

Savvy business owners who take advantage of Internet marketing realize there is a fine line between marketing and spam and orchestrate their marketing campaigns to gain the maximum amount of exposure without running the risk of being viewed as spam.  The definition of spam is open to interpretation but most people agree on the fact that spam is equivalent to junk mail you receive at your residence. In general spam is unsolicited emails which are part of an advertising campaign. The term spam can also apply to message board postings which are posted solely for advertising purposes. This article will examine the differences between effective Internet marketing and spam.

First we will consider the use of forums for the purpose of Internet marketing. Forums are essentially online meetings places for Internet users who share a particular interest to exchange idea, ask or answer questions or just socialize. These forums  allow users to register and post messages. Most forums have asset of guidelines which the users must follow when making posts. These guidelines may vary widely with some being very strict about acceptable content and others not being nearly as strict. It is important to follow these guidelines because failure to do so may result in the moderators deleting your account and other members not paying much attention to your posts.

Forums are ideal for Internet marketing because they can provide marketers with access to a specialized target audience. If you are in the business for finding prospects in making money from home, you might join a forum dedicated to internet network marketers to find members who may be interested in your products. Here you may learn a great deal about the concerns of your target audience. You can also take the opportunity to post links to your website when appropriate and in accordance with the forum guidelines. This is considered to be smart Internet marketing. However, if you opt to respond to each and every post with a link to your website even when it is not relevant and do not offer comments of value to other members, they are likely to view your posts as spam. This can be damaging because these members may opt to avoid your website even if they have a need for your services.

E-newsletters and email advertising are one area of Internet marketing which is most likely to be viewed as spam if not done properly. Most Internet users to not appreciate unsolicited emails especially when these emails do not pertain to a subject that interests them. This is often the case when business owners buy email lists and send their advertisements to everyone on the list. This is not effective because you are not likely to reach a large population of your target audience. Additionally, recipients of the email may block your email address so future communications are automatically sent to a spam folder. Some recipients may even report you to their Internet service provider who may investigate the claim that you are a spammer. A better way to approach the concept of email marketing is to only send e-newsletters and advertisements to past customers who have specifically asked to receive such emails and potential customers who have requested additional information.

PostHeaderIcon Carlos Anastacio is Blowing up Social Networking

Give it up to Carlos Anastacio. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him for several months now and I am impressed more and more with what i’m hearing and seeing from him.

In a matter of just a few months, he’s taken the priniciples of attraction marketing, applied them to his MLM business, and now has more leads contacting him than he knows what to do with – all with inexpensive social network marketing, article marketing, and press releases, and now his recent blog.

You’d be down right handicapping yourself if you didn’t at least give him a call to find out how he’s doing this – if only for that simple reason.

Make sure to tell him that I sent you, cause i don’t want you taking credit for just randomly giving him a phone call.
