Internet Marketing ideas to generate new business

By Kevin McNally


Have you considered starting a contest to create a buzz about your new product ? Simply by giving away a free gift the guys who have signed up may then go on and buy some of your other products. To enter the contest you may require people to write a product review or even a video review of them using your product which is a very powerful endorsement of course.

You will generate more attention if you require people to share their submission on a social network so their friends see it and learn about the contest. If you want to get customers even more involved, accept submissions and ask people to vote for their favorite one. The people who entered the contest will ask their friends to vote for their submission and do some free advertisement for your contest and your products. You may even want to ask them to purchase Unique articles for sale, and link back to your contest if you have an incentive for the most backlinks to your website.

Don't be afraid to improve your branding by allowing your customers to post product reviews. If your loyal customers are kind enough to take the time and post video reviews or post content on other sites for you then reward them with a coupon code or something else. Your customers will love this.

Get to know your customers and give them the chance to get to know you. You should write a short biography for your website or blog and share some pictures or videos of yourself at work. Your customers will trust you and order products from you if they know who you are and realize they have a lot in common with you.

Of course there is no need to share every personal detail about yourself, you may find it better to create a message board where your customers can ask you questions online or even have a live chat option on your website. Another option is a free phone number but this is not required in most cases as you are best to keep your business mostly online.

Having a fun contest will help you create new customers , you should also consider creating a podcast so people can listen to you while on the move. Or why not create a video series on youtube which allows people to comment but also links back to your main website of course. Make it fun and people will gladly share your content.
