Let’s talk about your blog post titles. What are you doing to make sure they’re effective? Are you making them eye catching? Are they search engine friendly? If not then we need to talk.
In Part 1 of Writing a Blog Post Title: The Secret to SEO Success we’re going to tell you how to write blog post titles that Google will rank. So the question is what does this mean and how do I get it done.
The good news is that it’s not difficult and we’re going to go step by step with you through the process.
So first you want to decide what your blog post is going to be about. Let’s say you’re writing a post about online traffic schools.
Now let’s check out Google’s Keyword Research Tool. If you’ve never used this tool before it might seem overwhelming, but trust me it’s nothing to be afraid of.
This is post and video explains how to purchase Facebook and Google Adwords advertising credits online using websites like eBay. Search for “Facebook credits” “Facebook coupon” “Google Adwords Coupon” and “”Google Adwords credit” on eBay to see the listings.
Of course you will have to have an eBay account to purchase the codes, but im sure most of you already have an eBay account. If not it takes less than 5 minutes to setup and you should have an eBay account anyways…. eBay is awesome!
When you create a new Facebook Ad account you have option of adding a “coupon code”. This gives you some free credit to run your ads and play around and experiment without spending your own money yet.
Step up and finally build the website you’ve been talking about forever.

This short video goes over how to gain a lot of new Facebook “Likes” by creating cheap cost-effective ads on Facebook. When you’re new to Facebook you will likely not have too many fans/likes. This is a simple way to get the ball rolling and gain a consistent amount of new “likes” on Facebook.
Here are a few tips to remember when you are creating your first ad:
Target as many people as possible that speak your language. For us we targeted USA, Canada, Philippines, India and South Africa because these countries speak English or have a high concentrate of English.
The more people you target, the lower you will have to bid to receive click (likes). I suggest targeting 150-250 million people to hopefully get your bid to around 5 cents (.05)
Upload a catchy image for you ad. Something that is colorful and is visually appealing
Have good keywords/copy that make people what to check you out in your ad.
The text that you put in your Facebook ad will affect the bid amount, experiment with different wordings.
Make sure to interact with your new fans, if the make a comment on your post reply back. Interaction will help you gain trust and more fans in the long run.
Create at least 3-5 ads to see which ones are preforming the best. Change the text and pictures around to test what works.
Play around with CPC and CPM Facebook ads. We have better luck with CPC but have heard that CPM is the way to go after you “fine-tune” your Facebook ad campaign.
Set daily limits for your Facebook ad campaign so that you can test and play around without breaking the bank. We suggest on $3-$8 per day.
The end goal with creating you Facebook ads is to get a consistent amount of new “likes” everyday building your brand and business footprint.
Creating cheap Facebook ads is a great way to achieve this when you are new and not too many people know about you. Once you are up and rolling for several months or so you will hopefully start receiving more natural and organic Facebook “likes” but creating cheap ads is a great way to get the ball rolling.

Pay Per Click advertising like Google Adwords can be your businesses best friend, but we find that many businesses are doing it all wrong. We’re going to give you the essential do’s and don’ts when you’re setting up your pay per click campaign.
Do:
Research! – We can’t stress enough how important it is to spend time with the Google Keyword Research Tool and find the right keywords at the right price for your website.
Pay Attention – Make sure that you pay attention and test your keywords to see which ones are working and are most cost effective. You always want to make sure you’re getting the best bang for your buck when dealing with PPC.
Find Coupons – When you’re starting your first PPC campaign always use a coupon. Whether you’re using Google, Yahoo or Facebook there are always coupons available on eBay and other sites. A free $100 or more in PPC advertising can go a long way in understanding how it all works.
Don’t:
Send visitors to your home page – If your home page doesn’t have the exact product or content that you want visitors to see then send them to the page that does!
Just choose large keywords – Sure the keywords and phrases with large search quantities are probably the customers that you’re looking for, but chances are so are hundreds if not thousands of others. Longer more descriptive keyphrases will ensure a low cost PPC campaign.
Choose any keyword – So you’re going to start looking for hundreds of keywords and phrases that fit your website right? Yes, but only select the ones that match exactly what your website is all about. The last thing you want to do is pay for customers to visit your site that aren’t even interested.
So you know what kind of site you want to build, but who’s going to build it? If you’ve been following our Designer Hiring Guide you already know how to find the designers. Now we’re going to show you what to look for in a designer and how to find the best designer for your project.
Portfolio is everything. You’re going to get dozens of bids from designers ranging from a few bucks to thousands of dollars. What separates these designers is quality.
Right away you can eliminate any designer with no portfolio or less than 3 website samples. These designers will typically charge the least, but that’s only because they’re not good enough or don’t have enough experience to charge more. As long as you’re building a fairly standard website you can also eliminate any website designers charging over $2,000.
Now you’re looking at slimmed down group of website designers and you need to find the right one.How important is the style and look of your website? If your website has to be perfect in your eyes and style/design is at the upmost importance then you’ll probably spend a bit more building your site. The more expensive designers will only show their best work and you’ll be able to find a designer that has the style and design capabilities you’re looking for.

SEO is a vital tool for your website’s success. Now that doesn’t mean you need to spend hours and hours researching and learning the ins and outs of SEO. The truth is that its better left to the experts and it’s typically not worth the time you put in. However, there are a few quick and easy SEO solutions that are definitely worth your time if you’re building a new website or are ready to get serious about your existing site.
Start a Blog:
Just start writing posts/articles anywhere from 200-500 words at a time about topics that are relevant to your website. It may seem like a lot of work, but if the content you’re writing on your blog is relevant to your website this can really help with keyword relevancy in the search engine’s eyes.
Start Social Networking:
Social Media Marketing takes a lot more time and effort than most people realize, but if you do it right it can really pay off. We would advise when starting out to just get out there, make some posts and make some friends. This won’t be your go to marketing solution, but it’s an important step in building an online presence.
Content is King:
Focus on creating quality content on your website and visitors will always find you. Whether it’s your home page or your blog just make sure that your topics and keywords are relevant to your website and the types of visitors you’re looking to attract.
Learn the Basics:
So as we talked about before you shouldn’t spend weeks researching SEO and trying to learn all of the secrets. However, you should do a few hours of research and learn the basic terms and practices.
Change is Good:
Never stop evolving your website. New content will spark the interest of search engines and visitors alike. Don’t think that you can just build the site with good content and the traffic will pour in. You need to stay on top of the site and always look to expand your content.
