Just Web Hosting Solution

Archive for April, 2009

A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. There are huge numbers of companies that offer web space on their server for their customers and also offer Internet connectivity in general in a data center. There can be various types of web site hosting companies. The main classification is the free web site hosting and the paid web site hosting service companies.

Some of the things you should look for when choosing a web host.

To begin, every website is hosted on only 3 platforms: Unix, Windows NT, Macintosh. Very few sites are hosted on a MAC server, so the majority of webhosts use Unix or NT. For these reasons we will focus on only those 2 platforms.

Reliability and speed of access

Speed, security and reliability are extremely important for the success of any online business. While choosing a reliable web hosting service you need to ensure      that this is taken care of. A site that is not available, not updated on time or is down, will lose many online visitors. Slow working websites are very frustrating. So how do you know if a hosting company is reliable or not.

Amount of web space:

A web hosting service provider would usually assign you a certain amount of space on their server. You need to ensure that does it have the right amount of space for your website. For the same reason as bandwidth, watch out also for those “unlimited disk space” schemes. Most sites need less than 10 MB of web space, so even if you are provided with a host that tempts you with 200 MB or 500 MB (or “unlimited space”), be aware that you are unlikely to use that space, so don’t let the 500 MB space be too big a factor in your consideration when comparing with other web hosts.

Multiple Domain Hosting and Sub domains

For those who are thinking of selling web space or having multiple domains or subdomains hosted in your account, you should look to see if they provide this, and the amount extra that they charge for this (whether it is a one-time or monthly charge, etc).

Data Transfer

You also need to see if the hosting company provides you with sufficient bandwidth for efficient data transfer. After all it’s your website and you need to ensure that you are getting the best services for the money you invest.

E-mail accounts

Many hosts will provide you with 10 or more e-mail accounts for your online business. The number of accounts you need may affect which host you choose.

Server type

Most web hosts have Windows 2000, Unix and Linux servers. If you plan to run a simple website, you will not need to worry about the server the web host provides because most simple websites run off one of these three servers.

What is a Split Test?

In a general sense a ‘Split Test’ compares two or more unique options. In marketing we use it to compare options and benefits. Measuring results is one of the keys to successful marketing. But more importantly than just measuring results, successful marketers will compare and analyse to find the optimal results.

When it comes to email marketing, the split test can be used to measure and compare various outcomes. For example when is the ideal time to send an email to your subscriber base – how does Tuesday morning compare with Wednesday afternoon? Unless you split test, you’ll never know. With some email marketing providers you can also split test your web forms – the forms that people use to subscribe to your newsletters. This is really important – if you can’t attract subscribers, then you’re not going to have anyone to email.

If you are in the process of choosing an email marketing provider, make sure your future provider has the right tools to track split testing.

Why Split Test?

You test so you can make decisions and if you don’t have data or evidence it’s hard to make the right decision! Split testing allows you to make specific decisions for your subscriber base. My clients often ask, what is the best time to send an Email campaign?

Firstly there is no “best time” for every email newsletter to be sent. Just like the fantastic content that needs to be in your newsletters, the timing also needs to be tailored to your subscribers.

Secondly, there is the issue of your subscribers “responding best”. You are sending the email because you want to encourage a particular action from your readers. If you are not doing what it takes to best encourage these actions, then you are likely leaving money on the table. Split testing can help you identify where your email marketing could be improved and optimized.

A good indicator of how well your emails are received is the open rate. There are obviously some other metrics you can use to measure the success of an email, like driving sales from your website – so use a metric that makes sense for you.

What Should You Test?

Test whatever is going to make a difference to people taking action. With Email Marketing Software we provide the tools to split test both your Web Forms and your Email Newsletters.

With your Web Forms you can test:

• Different offers or incentives in the form’s headline
• What information you request (e.g. phone number, address, other preferences)
• Varying the text on the submit button. (e.g. “Sign Up Now”, “Get A Free Monthly Newsletter”)

With your Email Newsletter broadcasts you can test:

• Different subject lines (e.g. try including personalisation and leaving it out)
• What day and time you get the most subscribers opening and reading your newsletter
• Different buttons with the body of the message (e.g. try an HTML vs plan text button)

Don’t Be Lazy!

If you want to maximise the relationships with your subscribers – and consequently reap the profits of those relationships – you can’t afford to be lazy. You need to test and measure to work out the best strategy. Leading Email marketing providers have easy to use features and support to help you split test and get the best results!

Having an email newsletter that is sent out regularly to your clients and prospects may seem hard and laborious, but boy, it will sure create a lot of kudos for you, if you have such a newsletter. That is to say, if it is professionally written and well presented. Anything less than that will only tarnish your image, and reflect badly on the professional image which you intend to portray.

The email newsletter enables you to do the following:
Keep in front of your clients and prospect. This was you are always top of mind when they think of matters relating to the service you provide.
Provide great content in relation to the service you provide. Content which will benefit your clients and prospects.Also, providing great content means that your clients and prospects do not feel you are being “sales-ey” on them.
You could (sparsely) pepper your email newsletter with some advertisements, either for your own services or those of a joint venture partner.

Tips for writing good newsletters:
Keep your content/articles brief and to the point. Being verbose will only lose the interest of your readers.
Include imagery where possible, which adds to the visual appeal for the reader.
If possible, also include the newsletter on your website and provide a link in the email to the newsletter online.This way you will be driving traffic to your site, and chances are that while they are on your site they may visit other pages on your site as well.

So start your regular newsletter so that you can leverage the marketing and profiling benefits! 

Creating an opt-in list would be one of the most profitable things an established internet marketer could use to increase their profits, yet most internet marketers don’t realize that they are potentially leaving thousands of dollars on the table believing that it takes too much time or effort to get a decent list size.

This is simply not true, one example of easily creating an opt-in list would be to write an original, interesting, informative article. If the reader is interested in learning more about your topic, they should then scroll down to your author bio box which has relevant links to more detailed information. Once they land on your website you could offer them free e-books on the relevant topic in exchange for their name and email address.

So now you have 500 opt-in subscribers, you may think that they just subscribed for the free e-books but this is irrelevant as every single person on your list is a potential customer. The next step would be for you to start recommending products to them, but to get to this stage you need to build a relationship with your list. In order to do this you will need to send them informative, relevant information relating to the topic that your article or website is about. For example, there is no point writing about how to play soccer if your website is all about how to train puppies. Sticking to related topics will lower the chances of people unsubscribing from your email list.

Most, if not all of the super affiliates have thousands of people subscribing to their e-mail lists each and every month, they then sell products to their lists are reap the huge profits they make. On average you have a 1-3% success rate with selling products you promote to your email lists, that is 1 out of every 100 people you offer a product to will buy it.

The only thing that keeps people from becoming super affiliates is the amount of work they put into creating their lists. The super affiliates don’t create 2-3 articles a week and expect thousands of people to opt-in every month, it takes time to build your lists. Creating 5 articles a day for the next 3 months would definitely get you going, once you have built a list with thousands of subscribers you can sell keep selling them products and watch your profits sore.

Just like the formal traditional mode of marketing where a marketing executive uses loads of papers to win over customers, the same applies to email marketing. There are millions of users in the internet and the main challenge is how to win the online customers in a fast and cost effectively manner. For the marketer, it prevents unnecessary spending of money on promotional activities that are irrelevant.

One of the most common lead machines is by leveraging a website. Nowadays, corporate websites can be linked to marketing websites and the number of times online customers visit the website can be tracked. By doing this, you can identify the websites that are most interesting and with interesting products and send the information to an internet marketing team. Such websites offer leads for tomorrow’s sources of revenue for the company.

The lead generators also identify the company or areas from which the visitation of site originated from. The information is stored in a secure and updated database where authorized websites can visit and get information from. It is also important for the web marketing team to do a follow up on getting information about which people, geographical area or company visited its website. Try and impress the customers on your marketing ideas about the product and keep a regular contact communication channel.

Surveys have shown that more than 70% of companies in Europe have websites but most of them have failed to take advantage of the lead generation. So many useful data and information are ignored and are unexploited.

The importance of lead generators cannot be ignored by any internet based business. They are important in identifying new markets as well as keeping track of where your customers and potential customers come from. Knowing this information is important in your email marketing campaign as you will be able to send emails to targeted clients who are most likely to purchase your product based on their needs. Therefore, you will avoid wasting time in non viable customer segments as you concentrate your energy in the potential clients’ areas.

Email marketing is important to generate sales. However, you also have to send the emails to people who are mostly likely interested in your product or service; you can find these people through lead generators. This is why smart internet based companies are spending some investment in lead generators. It is time that you too should start employing lead generators.

The internet has opened new avenues for getting income. Almost anyone who has a computer connected to the internet can generate income from the internet through different methods. One of the methods is email marketing. By being innovative, you can generate a generous income by executing this style of marketing. Here are some tips to get you started on making money doing it.

First, it requires effective campaigning and advertising through the internet. Therefore, by designing effective email campaigns, a marketing team raises its chances of making more sales. Things like using popping graphics, clear names and titles of products on market will boost your revenue in the future.

Apart from campaigns, it is important to include marketing expectations in your course of action. Reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and tangibility will act as catalysts in generating revenue if wisely and appropriately used. When communicating, the positioning of statements about your products will determine whether you capture or lose customers. Stick to one issue at a time; do not shift from marketing product to product aimlessly since this will distract both the customer and marketing agent.

Making good decisions will also help your email marketing be more effective. Different ideas from different decision makers have greater chances of making your email marketing successful. But there has to be a mutual relationship among the decision makers. Email marketing requires consistency and credibility. Consistency boosts a product’s life cycle while credibility boosts the company. When these strategies are used together, they are a source of making money.

You however have to use the strategies effectively for them to work. Urgency is paramount in email marketing requires urgency, where issues have to be met and resolved as fast as possible.

Unsatisfied customers can give you bad reviews in the internet and this will hurt you business. The above discussed tips will enable make money easily and inexpensively in the internet through email marketing.

You’ve built your website / blog – great!

You’ve added a ‘free marketing signup’ giveaway product to your site…in return for the visitors email address.

You are keen to build a large email marketing list.

So you’re ready to implement your email marketing campaign…you can’t wait to sell, sell, sell.

You can’t wait to get started…but you should just hold on a few minutes…

… you should take time to analyze what factors make a quality email marketing campaign.

In reality:

Fact number one.

A high percentage of your email list will not buy from you. Period. They just want free goodies. That’s not a problem.

Fact number two.

Another high percentage of your email list will not buy from you until they get to know you and your reputation.

Fact number three.

That leaves a small percentage…that may buy from you straight away…if they like what you are selling.

No research but gut feel:

Fact one covers 60% of your list.
Fact two covers 35% of your list.
Fact three covers 5% of your list.

You email campaign is aimed at the complete email list but you are mainly trying to sell to the customers who fall into the fact two and three categories.

So what is the overall email marketing campaign strategy?

At a high level:

After your visitor signs-up to your email marketing opt in, you want to send your email list some extra free products, information and advice, interspersed with the odd email to try and sell them something…spread over several weeks.

I would recommend 6 emails a fortnight, one of which is recommending a product or something to buy (make sure you have actually used and benefitted what you are trying to sell).

What if you have several different types of sign-ups?

For instance, one for self-development and one for Camera advice.

You need to target your emails to the right recipients…

Many email marketing campaigns fail because the sender treats every email recipient the same. The person who signed-up for the self-development list also receives the email with the recommendation to buy the latest Nikon camera!

While the people who like self-development were happy, the rest of the email recipients were not happy and many unsubscribe or even hit that ‘SPAM’ button.

Don’t make the same mistake.

If you are using an autoresponder facility make sure you have different autoresponders for different sign-up lists.

Ensure Your Emails Are Personalized

When your visitors sign-up, you will ask for their name (and if you don’t I recommend you change it so you do). Nine times out of ten the visitor will put in their correct name rather than a made up name. Use this name in the subject line of the email and to actually start the email.

For instance:

Subject: Name, here’s your complimentary report on public speaking

Hi Name,

Welcome…..

You can also use their name, one or two (no more) times throughout the email.

I do have to share this little story with you…

Someone signed up to my email list and when they signed up they added their name as ‘karen’.

So all my emails, started with the subject: karen,….

…and started with:

Hi karen,

The name is taken from how they signed up. She signed up with ‘karen’ (i.e. the k was not a capital letter).

A few weeks later, Karen wrote to me and asked me to stop sending her emails addressed to ‘karen’ and ‘as I was someone in business, I should know names always start with a capital letter’.

The cheek!
I thought it was funny.

So, ensure you do personalize the emails you send out. The more personal you can get, the easier it is to build trust. You’ll also have a better chance of your emails being opened and read. And even better…the more chance your customers will buy from you.

Keep your emails simple

I do send HTML type emails but not because I add banners, flashy graphics, huge fonts, colors…I don’t. I use them so I can add links to certain articles or other information. I also make each line of text up to a maximum of 50 characters. That way there is no formatting problems when received by the receiver. So, keep your emails clean and simple, otherwise your emails will go straight into the email waste bin.

Don’t make your emails too long

Is this a personal preference? I hate long emails…paragraph after paragraph after paragraph. We are all busy people and we all get hundreds of email every single day. The last thing I want is an email that just goes on for ever and I believe my email list customers are the same. Use a few small paragraphs and if you have something you want to expand upon, link (using HTML type emails) to the rest of the story via a landing page on your site.

What Is The Point Of The Email?

The purpose of you sending an email is to build rapport, to share something you think your customers would like, to sell something. For every email you send out there must be a purpose. If you are building rapport, you may ask them a question or two about themselves. If you are sharing some extra advice, you may like to get their views on the subject. If you are trying to sell them something, you want them to link to the sales page and buy!

How Do You Get The Email Opened?

One of the biggest problems email marketers have: “How do I get more people to open my email?”

Your subject line.

Your subject line will make or break whether customers open your email or delete it. You need to come up with a compelling, curious subject line that grabs the attention of your customers. Avoid rubbish like “make lots of money!” and “earn cash NOW!”. Use subject lines that the receiver finds curious, but tells the truth at the same time.
