Now, when there are unsettled issues that go deep, we all know how anxiety can cloud the mind, or when you have made attempts to lose weight or stop smoking. These things can put you off your best game in life. The above works best when you are on an even keel, you can make great strides in your mental capacity.

Response From Net More Now- How to Generate Book Sales

I need to know if a fan page would generate sales.
If so - does it need to be done by create a page from my personal facebook account?

An effective website strategy that can be used on Facebook is to offer the first chapter free and capture the person’s name and email to build a long term list which becomes more valuable over time. A Fanpage can be designed to do this. You create the page through your personal facebook account, however the two are separate unless you start inviting friends to become fans and put links on your personal page to your fan page. (http://facebook.com/pages/create.php)
Later, you’ll be able to shorten the url by going to http://facebook.com/username (careful not to change your personal, look for the dropdown menu with Pages in it)
If you have a very good idea of the demographics of your readers, a Facebook ppc campaign can drive targeted visitors to your fanpage. Selling through a FB ad is not the goal, it’s to get like minded visitors to like your page, fill out an opt-in form to receive for example the first chapter. People who like the page but don’t fill out the form can be communicated with through the status message box, it will show on their stream/feed and helps your messages go viral. Another social buzz promotion is to use mylikes.com ppc campaign, where you set the price per clickthrough, typically 10 to 15 cents, a fraction of what it would likely be on Google.

Your Website- I have a new novel, The Inside Trader, just published 2 weeks ago - I need to promote it.

A page devoted to the book on your website that does the same duty as the fanpage (called a squeeze page) would be needed to direct traffic to, and make it pay in the long run, building a valuable list of people interested in you as an author and the valuable info you convey.
For now, highlighting the words Buy Now certainly draws attention, but linking the book graphic and the Buy Now text to the buy page on Amazon is more important than grouping the two ways of buying below the content and below the visible window area (you have to scroll to find what to click on to buy).

The website has engaging information and spells out your philosophy very well. Well done. We have a problem with the search engines in the way the site was optimized for its meta titles, descriptions and meta keywords. Several years ago, it was the thing to do, to put as many relevant keywords as possible into the tags and that is what has been done here. It is causing you loss of ranking in the search engines, it’s called ‘keyword stuffing’. Each page should only have 3-4 of the most important keywords in that tag. I looked at the home page and the next page and both had the same meta title, without looking further, I can tell you that it’s not good to have duplicate page titles. You have 60-70 characters and spaces to title each page to reflect what’s on it and to include keyword phrases that show up and pertain to the specific page, it looks like 50% utilization.
You asked for my input and knowledge, this is part of what my business does in web development, marketing and content production using search, social and direct response wrapped into an integrated website marketing strategy. So there are improvements to help your site rank organically, but that is over time and while all that is important, it’s using direct response type of strategies to drive the right audience to your fanpage and website that can drum up more immediate activity and sales.

What else do I need to generate sales??? ;-)
A simple blog to build authoritative content that contains keyword phrases that are anchor linked back to the most relevant page on your website will give you the power and control over in-content backlink building and eventually the blog will drive traffic that is educated to what you do and more inclined to purchase your products and services. That is an organic search ranking strategy. For direct response, I would set up Google Adwords vouchers on the blog and possibly on your website if it has never had an Adwords account. I would advertise not in the search part but in the Google Display network. Your email capture results are going to be higher and the bids lower than Adwords. The reason, people are on relevant websites, relaxed, reading and looking for more information on the topic and your ad is answering that call.
Then I would buy keyword phrase top ten listings in a network of about 250 small search engines for a flat fee, no bidding little competition. I have a client that for the keyword phrase ‘wholesale party favors’ he pays just under a dollar a click on Google (in his situation Adwords and not the Display Network needed to be used, as a wholesaler he did not want to show up in direct competition with his buyers who sell retail). The small search engine network ended up costing less that 15 cents a click.

In Summary
You can go about promoting online in either a stack by stack approach of marketing activities, or you attack every avenue at the same time. I can draw up a proposal by doing a bit more research on your book and site, and dividing into stacks of marketing activities that can be done separately or at once. The very first foundational thing that needs doing before anything is done at all, is keyword research that goes deep and prioritizes what to work on first. If this is not done to a deep extent then everything else is affected.

The online tools of the trade are having a website, separate blog, fanpage, twitter, uTube, and email autoresponder as a set of web properties that become an asset to your business when integrated well, and optimized. Then you are at the starting line. You have a set of tools that sit there doing nothing, until consistent marketing activities take hold.

A marketing strategy must be designed that works well and within budget constraints, so prioritizing a systematic way of going about it is critical. Building a fanpage does nothing without a strategy and activities.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your trust, earn your business, and truly help you!

Movie Fans Joining Movie Premieres Entertainment

It’s great to find a new movie site that people participate on, uploading and sharing their favorites and all kinds of short-form original content.  You can see what others are watching right now, or browse through the featured movie collection and editor picks too.  Talk about your favorites with other movie lovers and discover films you did not know about.  Popular features of Movie Premieres is the Latest Videos collection and the Random Videos player that brings a lot to your attention.  It certainly can be fun finding others who have the same hobbies and interests as you, and make new friends.  We all have a little ‘movie critic’ in us and Movie Premieres gives us the ability to rate films and share comments.  

One of the best business ideas for starting up a business is to pick something popular like film entertainment and build your own niche.  People get tired of hunting through gillions of videos on Youtube.  It makes sense to build a site where people can share their films and everything is sorted out so you spend more time viewing and making friends.  Movie Premieres is dedicated to introducing new talents and the famous as well.  It is a great web strategy to provide people a way to get together and entertain each other.  Enjoy the site, watch a view trailers and find some unique films to enjoy.

Wholesaler Offers Single Items Like Burlap Tablecloths

 In the wholesale business, it can be difficult to offer some products at individual prices, however a factory direct wholesaler can many times offer individual items when the shipping in nominal and the popularity is high enough to move a great volume.  This is true of Harvest Import.  This holiday season you can spruce up your table settings with a colorful burlap tablecloth.  This is no potato sack... these burlap tablecloths are made with jute sheets, made from the skin of the jute plant.  Another thing to consider this holiday is getting away from throwaway gift wrappings.  Instead, consider using jute gift bags or cotton bags at wholesale, with only a small quantity at a time pricing.
When your customers are not direct consumers, but store owners, buyers for companies, you have to have different website strategies that narrow the definition of who your customers are when designing a web strategy that targets the right group of buyers.  We find that it takes both diligent keyword phrase research, competition research and very defined ad writing.  Finding the talented team who can define and execute a pay per click web strategy is worth the effort.  For small businesses with a limited ad budget, Net More Now has accomplished programs that put PPC and organic search marketing to work effectively together.
