Your Questions About Online Marketing Companies

Ken asks…

Taking surveys online for marketing companies to make a little extra cash?

Is this a scam or is it legit? I have recently heard of this..that marketing companies are sending out surveys that you can choose to take online if you sign up, & they pay small amounts (like $5 & up). I have particularly heard of Survey Mastermind. Am I hearing nonsense or is some of this real?

answers:

The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys.

Legitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics — e.g. Mothers of babies 0-12 years old — and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey — you’re definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.

Other companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don’t earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).

What I want to know is that which all methods can be utilized other than having a good website to market the company through online media.

answers:

Having a good website alone is no longer enough to create business online.
Assuming your website is there to develo new sales leads and attarcted customers you need to take active measures to drive tarffic to your website.
The basics include key word optimization, search engine optimization and back-link building. Each of these will contribute to your websites traffic.
Also, you can pay to buy key words on search engines so that you can appear as a Sponsored Link in search results, such as the top and side bar results on Google.
Depending on your budget, you can try to do this yourself or you can hire a firm to do this for you.

Michael asks…

What is the top marketing company that markets online websites?

I am going to start an online business soon and I would like to advertise online. However, there are tons of companies out there that say they can get me hits on my website and can get me at the top of search engines. I don’t have the money, time or resources to try each one, however, if anyone knows of any marketing companies that has a proven track record, I would be oblige to know.

answers:

Hi Penny,

I’m not sure what kind of business you’re starting. Some businesses don’t require you branding yourself but most do. In this new economy, the information age is gone.

We’re now in the inspiration age…

Look Penny, hits wont make you money, conversions make you money. There’s millions of squeeze pages out there trying to sale something, what makes yours any different? You need to inspire people with you knowledge and value.

You need to position yourself as an expert…

Not only do you need to know who your target market is, they want to know who you are, and to do that, you need to add value with content you create.

Blogs

Squidoo Lens

Twitter

Bookmarking sites

you create content that will educate your target market, which positions you as an expert, and with that, people will come to you, as apposed to you spending money on advertising.

You can get some ideas from my blog. I’ll also post some other sites that will help.

Peace
