Your online business, large or small, relies heavily on the use of email. Almost immediately, the volume of emails that must be responded to will become overwhelming and take up a huge percentage of your time. At some point you begin to realize that investing in an autoresponder has become a necessary business expense.

With the aid of an autoresponder, keeping up with emails becomes much less of a chore. Once it’s installed and a few scripts have been written, your business begins to run on autopilot, freeing you from an onerous task and allowing you to spend your time more productively, creating products, researching money-making opportunities, building partnerships, or cultivating the connections you’ve already made.

So, you have a new terrific looking Website. You’ve gone to great lengths to make sure it is Search Engine Friendly, you have great content and you are sure that you are what the Search Engines have been waiting for! Your big launch date comes and goes, and nothing. But it takes time to show up on the generic Search Engine results, you might say. So you try an aggressive marketing campaign, and still, your sales are almost non-existent.

What is happening? Your keywords are the fundamental building blocks of your online success. Because the competition is so great, choosing general or broad keywords is almost a guarantee that either you will not show up on the Search Engine results, or if you do, your target audience will not be looking for what you have to offer. Your keywords need to be as specific as possible to get you the results you are looking for.

Not only that, but the greater the specificity of your keyword, the less competition you will face.

Choosing the right keywords when your Website is new can be tricky as well as time consuming. There are a few ways to go about it:

1. You might not think objectively. Ask your clients, family members, or friends what they would look for if searching for your product. You might be surprised at what insights they can give you.

2. Get personal with your keywords. Take the obvious general keywords that come to mind, for this example we will use “toys”, and try narrowing it down. Try “toy trucks” or “infant toys” or “water toys”. Now go even deeper in your category and try “infant rattle toys” or “baby teething toys”. You see how you are now targeting exactly what someone might be searching for?  Continue reading »
