Lead Genaration: Etracking

Lead Generation: Your Own Search Engine

Ifyou become a Veretekk Gold subscriber the basic system comes with 40 traffic portals all attracting leads for your business. Having used this system for 6 months I can tell you that the most premium leads I get come from my etracking portal. At the beginning, this puzzled me because I like other traffic portals better such as http://leadsleads.money-machine.net , http://leadsleads.leadsomatic.com and http://leadsleads.sohomatic.com. There had to be a good reason for people to keep using the etracking portal. There was and there is.

You can go to my etracking portal right now http://leadsleads.etracking.net Once you register Veretekk will send you a verification email with your username and password. Once you do this you will have your very own search engine where you can promote your website and get daily free leads form the Veretekk system. Everyone is trying to get on the first page of Google but there are only 10 spots for each keyword so competition is very stiff. You can spend hours and hours promoting your website to all the major search engines or you could have etracking submit your website to 3.5 million websites with one simple submission. What's more you can promote your etracking URL on your website or emails to get other people to use the service for free. You will get their contact information as a premium lead. It's called reverse marketing and it works. In this way, the traffic comes to you. The more you promote your search engine the more leads you will get.

Lead Generation: Leads

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:23:45 GMT

Lead Generation: Leads

If you do a search on Google for leads you will find 277,000,000 websites about leads. That's a lot. With 277,000,000 websites that like one website for every man woman and child in the USA. Of course, not all these lead websites are from the USA but most are. It would seem obvious that they are all mining the same "lead field" so there must be all kinds of duplicate and triplicate leads out there all being bought and sold over and over again. You can pay anywhere form 5 cents to $3.50 or more per lead and you are most certainly share this lead with countless other people. I have a space on my http://www.leadsleads.net website for a successful story about leads. I haven't received one yet.

Leads generation is one of the functions of Veretekk. There are 3 other functions: search engine optimization, internet marketing of websites and web education. Veretekk is all about attracting leads to you rather than you chasing leads. It's the difference between being the listing agent on a house versus the sales agent who has no listings but runs around with clients hoping to sell a house. The first way, the client or lead comes to you, the second way you chase the lead or client. In real estate, the saying goes that "you list to last".

Lead Generation: Blogging

Lead Generation: Blogging

If you have a business website then blogging is a must. First it gives your customers up to date news about your business Second: It helps improve your website rankings on Google because you will have an RSS feed of your bog on your website. Besides these two very good reasons to blog, you should over time develop a readership of people interested in your product or service. These readers will contact you by phone or via the blog and become prime new customers for your business. Often people will read a your blogs over a period of time if they find them interesting, informative and entertaining. (not necessarily all 3) So don't expect immediate results, everthing on the internet takes time. By the way, don't forget to submit your blog url to Google so it can find you.

Lead Generation: Building Relationships

Tue, 09 Sep 2008 09:04:35 GMT

Lead Generation: Building Relationships

You can buy 1,000's of leads everyday and not establish a relationship with any of them. That is the fundamental reason why buying leads to promote your opportunity does not work so well. People you hardly know are not ready to be sold. Even if they are really looking, they will probably ignore you.

Instead of you chasing after leads, how about them chasing after you? How do you do that? How does a free offer sound? People like free. It's a very popular keyword on Google because people want free stuff that has value. Veretekk has a system of traffic portals which offer all kinds of free information and tools that people find useful. Portals such as Free Mart, Free Page, Vacation 4 Free, Computer Give-Away offer different forms of free stuff that people may want. In order to get it, they sign in. As soon as they sign in to your traffic portal, you get informed via email. They will also receive a series of sequential letters in their e mail from you. These can be custom soft sell messages written by you or you can chose from several standard letters from Veretekk.

This is all about starting a relationship which was actually initiated by the lead or person themselves. It's called reverse marketing and Veretekk has been very successful over the past 3 years developing this system So far there are 40 traffic portals but the number will soon double. These are all designed to attract more people to you so you will have a steady supply of new prospects.

Generating Your Own Leads

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:15:11 GMT

Generating Your Own Leads

Every business no matter how big or how small needs new customers and leads.

Whether this is called customer acquisition, lead generation or prospecting for new business, it's all about increasing the size of your business by increasing the customer base. Large companies with deep pockets use TV ads, Magazine ads, Newspaper ads or Internet ads, Internet websites and Direct Mail to attract customers. Small business cannot compete in any of the above advertising media, except one, because of the huge cost of such media. The internet has been called the great leveler because small business can compete with big business at least in a small way. Having a great presence on the internet and the resources to promote such a website can be very expensive.

Small business can become a powerful presence on the internet even with limited resources.

Keyword specific website domains, tied in with good keyword text supported by a keyword focused blogs can do wonders to attract internet search engines. Google likes this focused keyword approach and will reward you with a well placed website. It will take time so you need the faith to pursue the quest even though you don't see results right away.

Once you achieve a high page ranking with Google, you will attract web traffic: people. Those people who show enough interest in your product or opportunity will sign up for more information, special offer or your newsletter so be sure to include a method that allows your new customer or lead to show that he or she is interested. You have just set up your own lead generation system.

Home Business: The Promise and The Dream

Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:08:38 GMT

Home based business is all about achieving the American Dream or The Promise of America. It is all about the realization that whatever negative circumstances you are in right now can be changed for the better. The right home based business gives you the vehicle (and money) you need to get from "out under your circumstances" so you too have a shot at achieving whatever the American Dream means to you. It can be done with sweat equity, part time and on the internet and it won't cost you much money.

Our home based business options presented here are all legitimate, respectable and do-able money -making businesses. Do as much research as you like, and at the end, I am sure you will agree with my assessment.While they all require a relatively small investment to get started, they are no where near what even the cheapest franchise would cost you. One, in fact, can be done for $10 per month. No we don'y have any for no money down. The fact that you can easily do it from home avoids the high start up of most traditional, conventional businesses: money for office/warehouse/workshop space and all the money required for overhead that comes with this space like electricity, heat, municipal taxes and telephone/internet connections.

The "Democratization of Wealth", a new term coined by Paul Zane Pilser, using the Home Bsed Business model is unfolding all around you and me. Technology has leveled the playing field so that we all can have our shot at sharing the wealth. In the early years of the 20 th century only the wealthy drove cars. Henry Ford caused an economic and social revolution by making cars for the common man. This global HomeBased Business Model does the same for business as Henry Ford did for the automobile. This Home Based Business is revolutionary because businesses including franchises are usually reserved for people with money.(lots of money) What if there was something the common hard working average Joe or Josephine could do without a heavy investment? There is.

Website Marketing

Tue, 26 Aug 2008 15:38:46 GMT

What's soho? Soho is anagram for "small office,home office" or home based business. It's also a trendy district in New York and London where it has nothing to do with real business except perhaps retail.

If you search SOHO websites on Google, you will find lots of trendy shops, galleries and similar kinds of business all with very expensive looking websites. You will also see websites related to home business development and that's where we come in.

You either have a soho business website or are thinking of a website that has something to do with monetization and marketing. Websites are wonderful information tools for both employees and customers. Websites can attract new business and make you money using appropriate marketing. That's the popular line anyway. Problem is finding your website in the literally millions of websites out there. The solution is good website marketing. In all the work you have to do to think about what the website should be about, the domain name, the actual design of the website and the optimization of a website, the actual job of attracting new customers (website marketing)can easily get lost in the gobbledeguck. It's quite disappointing to have done all the work and get no results because your website address might as well reside in the graveyard as on the internet:the result of poor website marketing.

If you are new at this, you may just throw your computer out the window except then you wouldn't receive your email. If you've been doing this a little while and are determined to make a go of it, maybe there's hope for you. You may have to start all over from scratch. Having done this multiple times, I am becoming quite an expert in starting over. Hopefully, I am learning a little more each time I do this. Richard Kyosaki says 1 in 10 businesses fail which means you have to start 10 businesses before you are successful. Some people use this as an excuse not to start at all, others see this as a challenge. The alternative is getting a job and that doesn't interest me much. But it might be fine for you.

If you've got some kind of business on the internet, and you are interested in website marketing, we may be able to help you but you must be willing to learn and have "stick to it ness". Think of it as university course in online business taught by people who make a living online. When was the last time you made money taking a university course? Unfortunately, many people never make any money from the degrees they paid for and worked so hard for. That well may happen here but here you won't pay nearly as much for the education and the work you can do part time whenever you have time. If you are an insomniac, it beats late night or midlle of the night or real early morning TV. In fact, it beats TV most days.

Some people will have you believe my Home Based Business Blog is a cure for insomnia. If that doesn't work, try Montmorency Tart Cherry Concentrate featured on "my favourite products" page of http://www.healthwellnessopportunity.com

The main link to examine is http://internet-marketing.veretekk.com This will give you an in depth overview and may cause some confusion. That's normal. It's a very sophisticated internet marketing plan that needs to be studied somewhat. Don't get discouraged. It's like a cafeteria: you don't have to consume or use everything all at once. You will most definitely not learn everything at once. Just like in college, it takes months to take a course and learn what you need to learn. Here, it's the same. Once you sign in for a free silver system, you wil see on the main page a bar at the top with the headings: Veretekk,Veremail,Veretraining and Platinum. Click on Veretraining, the click on calendar on the left. You will see all kinds of on line seminars listed for the current date and future dates. If you actually go to these free on line seminars you will save yourself a ton of time since you might even do it the right the first time. You may realize by now that I haven't visited these seminars as much as I should. Something I learned at school about skipping class doesn't work well at Veretekk

Keywords are Key Words

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:27:30 GMT

On Google there are only 2 ways to make the first page: you either earn this right by doing everything right on your website to attract the search engine spiders or you pay for Google ads. The former is a lot more work but it is also a lot cheaper. It helps a lot if you a website design program that analyses your website for keyword density, headings etc as you go. But even if you have a great website, you are left the the problem of marketing this website. This is where a company called Veretekk can really help you out. Originally started as an internet marketing company for small business, it promises big results even for experienced seo consultants. If you want to get exposure/traffic/ranking, then consider using Veretekk. The key to using Veretekk is your user name. If you go to my Veretekk home page http://seosoho.veretekk.com , you will immediately hear instructions re the username being a keyword. This part of the process is critical because everything you do later depends on this keyword. Best to call me so I can explain in more detail. For a test drive though, you can pick your best shot(after you decide on the right keyword you can create another silver system in Veretekk), sign up for free Silver system, then configure this system using the Affiliate Portal. If you do this, you will see keywords figure prominently in the "Configuration section" .They also are important in your Title tag, and your Meta tags, as well as your Description section. All these sections relate directly to your Veretekk user name which should be the keyword that best describes your business. At the same time you should not be too general or too specific. Read my last blog about the importance of Word Tracker. If your keyword it too general, you may have a ton of competition which means it will take a long time to get to the front page of Google. Once you get there, the results can be worthwhile.If you are patient and keeping doing the work required without seeing immediate results, then that's ok. If you want a quicker fix, chose a keyword more specific to your business without being too specific. If you are very specific, you will get to the top in Google with Veretekk very quickly. Problem is you won't have a lot of traffic because people may not search for you using your keywords. So its a balancing act and trial and error. It's been said that using Veretekk is like drilling for oil. You will hit some dry holes especially at first but you will always be focusing on finding the gusher. Once you find it your internet presence will pay off, big time. Veretekk requires work and study but it is a serious tool that's available to you so you can improve your business. It also has a built in affiliate marketing program so that when you get results you can happily promote it to other people and develop another income stream for your company.

The Importance of Wordtracker

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 07:12:47 GMT

The Importance of Wordtracker

Way too many new internet marketers use the wrong tools, me included, when deciding on website names and keywords. In the past I would simply go to Google, type in a word or phrase and see the page counts. I would then design my website names and keywords based on this information. I can tell you that this is absolutely the wrong way to do this. Take "leads" as a catagory. Using key words such as "create leads", "most leads", "more leads" , and "free leads" all look good on Google but they are basically time and effort wasters on the Internet. A simple check of Wordtracker free keyword help reveals this words or phrases as very poor draws. A newby might think "wordtrackers no good". An experienced webmaster knows that the "keywords no good". Big difference and a big difference in success and failure.

You can save tons of time and money just by using this simple tool. More info http://www.seosoho.net

Triple Threat

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 09:45:12 GMT

p>In musical theatre, the term "Triple Threat" refers to the 3 basic stage/screen skills: acting, singing and dancing. If you become highly proficient in these 3 areas, the chances of landing a role and launching a career are increased by at least 3x and possibly more. If you apply this thinking to business, you simply don't place all your hopes on one product or service to do it all for you. You diversify in a coherent fashion where all parts of the business work together to achieve the common goal.

In the home business arena, many new entrepeneurs get stuck in a rut promoting only one opportunity. It's "an all your eggs in one basket" approach. This is fine if it works. You also don't want to be seen as promoting numerous opportunities so you start looking like a junkie. The emphasis should always be on a coherent plan working towards a common goal.

The "'Triple Threat" that I have developed revolves around 3 areas : an excellent heath and wellness opportunity to serve an ever growing market for the forseeable future; a low cost but effective lead generation system to feed this health opportunity; and a search optimization strategy (seo) that works towards getting the primary business website ranked highly on the search engines so there is a constant supply of new customers. All 3 areas are profit centres and all work towards the common goal. All accept the current reality of the internet and its role in helping home business achieve it's obvious potential in the market place. At the same time, this overcomes many of the hurdles that many people face in attempting to build a new lifestyle for themselves via a home based business opportunity.

The good thing about this "Triple Threat" is that you can pick and choose what's best for you. You can adopt the wellness opportunity program, use the leads program or the seo program all independant from each other. All of these programs come with a heavy investment in training and education. This is definitely not a get rich quick scheme but a thorough business like approach to creating an income stream on the web.
