5 Goals for Online Businesses and the Strategies to Reach Them.
Goal 1: Selling Online - The most well-known goal for Online Businesses where you're looking for an extra channel to push your products whether its make-up, clothes, shoes, pet products etc.
Strategy: To reach sales targets and reduce shopping cart abandons, you'll need to focus on an all-in-one e-commerce site complete with catalogs, products, shopping cart, shipping and a payment gateway and that provides an immersive and seamless shopping experience. Don't forget to add extras like upselling, recommended products, product galleries and plenty of credible product information to help meet your sales and orders targets. But what happens when you can't sell online because what you sell is a physical service or you're not running a for-profit business? There are 4 other goals you can set for your Online Business to get a return on investment...
Goal 2: Build Your Community - this goal applies particularly well to non-profit organizations like Churches, local Government Organizations, Community Organizations, Charities etc. - they need to have online conversations/discussions with their current members and attract new ones.
Strategy: To build an online community, you'd need to nurture a social site with a discussion forum and post regular news on a blog to keep visitors coming back. Make a space for photo uploads to show what's going on in your community, post podcasts of speeches or presentations for your visitors to download in a members-only area. Make sure members know about your site and that they contribute as well!
Goal 3: Automate Your Customer Service - are you spending a large part of your day getting interrupted by customer care phone calls instead of working on your business? You need an Online Business to be automating some of that for you.
Strategy: Some simple ways to build an online self-help portal you would be to build a highly customized web form that qualifies your customers’ requests before they reach you. It would be good to focus on publishing a well-organized FAQ page and direct customers to how-to and do-it-yourself articles on your site that you've published before they ask for live help. Not only is this good for your customers but it's good for search-engine optimization too!!
Goal 4: Generate New Leads - if you're a business that's selling high-value high-margin products (especially in the B2B arena) and you're having a tough time with the cold-calling and outbound marketing then you need your Online Business to be generating leads.
Strategy: A bit like automating customer service, you'll need to customize web forms that qualify sales with questions such as: what products are the customers interested in? Price-range? Intended purchase period? Focus on publishing high-quality information on your products and your services (features, price, and value proposition) with calls-to-action to make an inquiry after which you can follow-up with a phone call. Set aside space to publish customer testimonials and positive customer feedback, websites make it easier for your customers to refer you onwards because they just pass your URL to your friends.
Goal 5: Amplify Your Voice - need to get your message out there at minimal cost?
Strategy: You need to focus on email marketing and blogs. Does your site have a incentivized email subscription box like a "Sign-up Here for our monthly specials?" or a "Sign-Up Here for our 5-part email series on recession proofing your small business". This will get you visitors opting-in to receive communications from you which you need to follow up with email marketing. Too much push-marketing for you? Don't forget you can use your blog to publish material and pull visitors as well by posting your blog headlines on small and niche blog/news aggregators and slowly building up from there!

5. Twitter Ads
June 07, 2017
4 Ways to used VIDEO to build an email list of over 66,000 awesome supporters.
1. YouTube, in the past 18 months, I uploaded at least one video to YouTube each and every week. EACH of those videos included some sort of Call-To-Action at the END of my video to tell viewers what to do next. If your viewer stumbled upon your video and liked what you had to share, it’s only natural that they would want more, right? Using both an “External Link Annotation and a link in your DESCRIPTION, you can encourage, motivate and inspire your viewers to become website visitors with just a click of a button! What Call-to-Action can you offer to your audience to get them the HECK off of YouTube and into your circle?
2. YouTube Commercials, Yes! PAID YouTube Ads is a GREAT way to boost traffic and get more exposure, but that’s not exactly what I’m referring to here. Starting sometime
3. Facebook Video, although I looove YouTube, I’ve also been using Facebook to upload and share my videos. Most of the videos I upload here are short “Call-to-Action” videos that let people know about a Free Video Series or upcoming Webinar I’m hosting. Below is an example of one of those videos and an actual post I ran. Now, to REALLY make these work, you’ll need to be willing to throw Facebook some money and do some Paid Ads and Promoted Posts. And of course…TRACK your conversions! How much does it cost to acquire a new lead?
4. Squeeze Page Video, use Lead Pages for most of my Squeeze Page offers now. It’s just so easy to create and split test pages in minutes. But I NEVER create a new squeeze page without using a Video to help push the offer! And most of the time, it helps! Below is an example of one of my videos on a Squeeze Page.

5 Paid Traffic Sources Every Online Marketer Should Be Testing.
1. Google AdWords
This one’s a no-brainer. AdWords offers one of the most versatile paid traffic solutions around, both for search and display advertising. Targeting someone by what they search online is an excellent way of understanding a visitor’s intent to buy your product. Often referred to as reaching someone at the “bottom of the funnel”, AdWords can be extremely effective at targeting people who are ready to buy. Unfortunately, that portion of the funnel can be pretty small, so how you attract visitors at the top of the funnel and coax them down the funnel with great content and best practice inbound marketing tactics is the hard (or harder) part of marketing online. In the early days of the internet this might have been possible with the Google Display Network (GDN), but now due to banner blindness, for the most part, we don’t really see these ads; and ya gotta see ‘em click ‘em (you can quote me on that).
2. Facebook Ads
Over the last couple of years, the Facebook ad platform has evolved a great deal. In its early days I was definitely a naysayer, but now it’s hard to find an online marketer worth their salt that doesn’t think Facebook offers extremely effective ways of driving targeted paid traffic. Not only can you choose the type of people you want to reach (gender, age, occupation, to name a few), but you can also target audiences that are similar to your existing customer base. That’s right, Facebook will actually find people similar to the ones who have already purchased your product. You can do all the demographic, geographic, contextual, or behavioral targeting you want, but I’d take the behavior of actually paying for your own product, over any of that, when it comes to finding your next customer.
3. Outbrain Amplify
OK, obviously I’m extremely biased here, but you can’t dispute the facts. When a company outranks Google and Facebook for unique visitors on a comScore top 30 lists, and you’re looking for paid traffic sources, I’m pretty sure you need to check it out, we definitely won’t take your ads like Facebook and Google, but there’s no question you’ll want to use us to drive traffic to those awesome blog posts, articles, videos, and third-party reviews… This is where you start the relationship with your potential customer, bringing them down the funnel by providing nothing but valuable, useful, funny, and endearing content. Similar to Facebook and AdWords, Amplify offers a cost-per-click bidding system, the ability to test multiple headlines directed to the same content, device targeting, and geographic targeting. Our premium network of publishers ensures that you are always getting traffic from high-quality sources. More importantly, though, the algorithms behind our content discovery platform are constantly working to find the most engaged audience for your content. The people who click our content recommendations are far more engaged than people who come from search or social, and we can prove! Here’s are a couple of the results you’ll find in our Discovery vs Search vs Social Audience Engagement Study:
4. LinkedIn Ads
For those of you in the B2B market, LinkedIn Ads could be a great paid traffic source. Their 3 main advertising options are sponsored updates, display and text ads, and InMail. It’s hard for the B2B marketer not to be intrigued by a platform that allows you to target by job title and job functions. Other targeting options are location, age, gender, skills, company by name, industry, company size, school, and group. LinkedIn’s network is priced on a cost-per-click and it’s pretty expensive. You won’t find any targeting for less than $2 per click, and a lot of the targeting will start at $4.50. With their sponsored updates offering, you can not currently target people on only mobile or only desktop, and according to their SVP of Product & User Experience, Deep Nishar, this year over 50% of their global audience will be mobile. So make sure your mobile experience is great if you’re doing any sponsored posts. LinkedIn just announces the opening of their API to ad partners, so definitely keep a close eye on what types of features their partners will be announcing.
Twitter has some pretty sweet targeting options. Probably one of the coolest ones is that you can target people who are tweeting about a particular television program. That’s probably not great for driving traffic though. You can also target by keyword, interests, and followers, and even tailored audiences, similar to what Facebook is doing with their Custom Audience targeting. Their “Tailored Audiences” support page is definitely worth a read. One of my favorite features of Twitter Ads is their lead card feature that allows you to collect someone’s email address without leaving Twitter. All that said, twitter’s CPC is typically pretty expensive, and before you drop a ton of cash here, make sure your prospective customer spends time here. What does the organic traffic that comes from Twitter to your website currently do? If you’re already getting conversions, then definitely go for a test!
