The Marketing Blog. About the Wisdom of Internet Marketing, which is defined as the life blood of business. Using Internet Marketing tools, service and internet marketing tips.
Social Media Marketing is the order of the day and the above diagram is self explanatory.
Create accounts in Facebook, MySpace, Google+, Orkut, Twitter, Youtube, Flickr etc and establish social contacts. From these social sites, traffic will come to your blogs and sites.
Never brodcast, never sell, just disseminate information and people will like you and come to your sites and blogs to know what you have to offer. Use photos and videos, along with microblogs or tweets and articles in your social site pages and you have joined the SMM bandwagon !
You should have a Profile and a Page in Facebook. You should add friends, not more than 20 friends a day. You should blog daily, that is you should update your status every now and then and upload photos and videos, which are your favourites. A man is known by the company he keeps and hence people will judge what sort of a person you are from your friends, your photos, your videos and articles.
Status Updates are microblogs, that is you can write micro blog posts of less than 200 characters. Twitter gives you a microblog of 140 characters. Twitter and Tumblr are the great microblogging sites. Microblogs were known as tumbleblogs and hence the name Tumblr.
Now all social media sites gives you the Update Status facility. I already wrote on my Facebook Profile, Govind Kumar, that I am updating my Marketing blog today ! That I am writing an blog post about Social Media Marketing ! My 1336 friends will read this and read this article !
Cootopize is the Social Optimiser and you know SMO or Social Media Optimisation is the order of the day. Coined by the programmer Rohit Bhargava, SMO has come to stay !
In order to beef up Online Marketing, you should have accounts in all Social sites like Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus etc. Create content and share with the international community.
Undoubtedly blogging is fun. You write whatever is on your mind. You can set up blogs on Blogger or Typepad. Blogger seems to be the most user friendly.
I have 39 active blogs on Blogger . I get a lot of traffic from these blogs.
You can put Adsense ads on your blog. Also Adbrite and other affiliate ads and you get paid either PPC or PPS ( Pay Per Click or Pay per Sale ).
Blog Marketing is the latest buzz. If you use a conversational tone you will get a big audience. Never broadcast. Never indulge in self promotion. Never sell. Be altruistic and share your knowledge with the international community !
Wealth or Knowledge should not be accumulated. It should be shared with our brethren. Marx, Jesus and Aurobindo were altruistic and they shared their immense knowledge with their brethren. Let us go after Almighty Love and not after Almighty Mammon !
You can share not only articles written by you, but also your favorite videos and photos dealing with that topic. You can go to social networking sites like Facebook or Google Plus and update your status and tell your friends that you have been blogging, with links pointing back to your blog ! This is the joy of Blog Marketing !

We find for every rupee invested in marketing, there will be a 400% rise in revenue and 100% rise in profit. So we have to invest in Marketing. Marketing is the life blood of business !
Profit = (P*V)-( Mexp + FC + VC* V )
P = Product V = Volume Mexp = Marketing Expenditure FC = Fixed Cost VC = Variable Cost
So for Revenue = (P*V) to rise, we have to increase Marketing Expenditure ( Mexp ), as Volume ( no of customers ) is directly proportional to Marketing Expenditure !
Actually this equation, Profit = P*V - ( Mexp + FC + (VC*V))is a differential equation, as V or Volume is a function of Marketing Expenditure or V = f(M) !

You can go to the Social sites and submit your bio and at the end do not forget to wirte your url and email. Interested people will find you! You can visit blogs, comment on blog posts and then write your signature file at the end ( The sig file containes your url and email ). You can create free blogs on Blogger and submit the blogs to the blog directories ! People will come to read your blogs. You can blog daily and add info everyday. Your readers will not leave you ! Write with passion ! Write with motivation ! Writing can survive the Cosmological Cycles !

We have pointed out that the Ultimate Marketing Tool is the e-article. Free Information is given in the article and Free Information is what the netizens need. The real marketing tool is the Resource Box, which acts as a powerful ad for us.
Resource Box - The most powerful tool in Viral Marketing
In the resource box, you should
1) Get a subscription for your Newsletter
2) Sell your product
3) Sell your affiliate product.
Getting a subscription for your Newsletter or Ezine is very important. Newsletter ensures that you are in touch with your potential customer base. You can sell your backend products to them. You can give Free offers, free information and free ebooks to them and sell yourself to them
Selling your product is important because that is why you are on the Web. Too many debit bills and less income means that you will be out of business.
Your affiliate product can also be sold. That is the affiliate programs you had signed for. All you have to do is to give the affiliate link in the Resource Box. In your article also, you can recommend your affiliate products.
The Resource Box will be read by all and if you submit your articles to 300,000 ezines and 2.4 million sites ( I just typed Submit Article in Google and Google showed 2.4 million sites ), it will be read by millions!
See this example for a Resource Box

The ancients used to say that there is no philosopher who is not a writer. The writer, they said, is he who perceives the Celestial Diameter. While these claims may be tall or not, one thing is for sure - On the Net, only writing can save us. They were not wrong when they said that Writing can survive the Cosmologial Cycles !
To survive in a fiercely competitive world, you have to use the latest technologies. This principle is also valid in the field of Promotion and Marketing.
The latest craze in the Web Marketing field is Social Networking, Social Bookmarking and Social Media Optimization.
Now a site is known by the number of votes it gets from other sites. This is the concept of Web Democracy. If my sites get a lot of votes from other sites, my sites are considered good by the Search Engines. So it is the duty of every article writer, every ebook owner, site owner, zine owner, video owner to get as many votes as possible from other Social Networking/Bookmarking Sites !
In order to cater to the demand, we have started a Social Bookmarking Site, www.eastrovedica.info
The software used is Pligg, which is a Content Management System. www.eastrovedica.info functions as a Social Bookmarking Submission Site, as an article voting site, as a magazine story submission site, as a real estate site, as a video site, as a podcasts site and as an ebook submission site with votes.
In our earlier articles, we have highlighted the importance of Social Bookmarking in Internet Marketing. We have get a lot of traffic from Social Bookmarking Sites. However we should submit our stories, blogs and sites professionally.
Write a good, brief description
An attractive description is a must, if you want to bring in huge traffic. People first look at the headline first and next the description. If the description is catchy, they are sure to visit your site. Lies should not be resorted to. It should be frank, honest and informative.
I use a description like this for my astrology sites.
"About Astrology, the Science of Time, an indicative science which indicates events happening in the Four Dimensional Space-Time Continuum, the Eternal Continuum in which we exist, live and breathe".
Brevity is the soul of wit, of Art and you should be as brief as possible. People will not bother to read more than 150 characters and you should cut down on your tendency to brag.
Have a great first paragraph
The first paragraph should be catchy. If this is attractive, it is half the battle won. The first paragraph must be luring and dramatic. So spend time to create a quality paragraph.
Content is King
There are some equations on the Net like " Content is King", " Email is Queen" & " Traffic is supreme". Content is undoubtedly King. People who come to your site are information-hungry and it is upto to provide them with the proper information. The best way of doing this is to upload quality content. Search engines love fresh, quality content and quality content will lure traffic to your site.
Let others bookmark your site.
I have added the Add This Bookmark Button on my site and this bookmarks to more than 20 Social Bookmarking sites. My blog site, EastroVedica got more than 1000 hits due to Social Bookmarking. Every day I blog and this is bookmarked to these highly traficked Bookmarking sites. Instead of you, others should bookmark your web or blog pages. This is the concept of Web Democrary. Suppose 10,000 people bookmark your site. This means that 10,000 people recommend your site and your ranking goes up in Web Democracy.
All users are not equal and it is time to build a great profile. If you are well known as a user who has submitted tons of interesting stories, then highly probable are the chances that what you submit will be noticed. You should not only bookmark your articles on your site or blog, but links to other interesting articles on other sites. This shows that you are a lover of information. If you bookmark only your articles, it implies that you are indulging in self promotion. If you post other links, that shows you are well informed and wants to point out quality information to the international community.
Link with other social bookmarkers
You cannot do it alone. You have to have links with other social bookmarkers. If your friends vote for you, the probability is more than other will also vote for you. The votes from your supporters may act as a catalyst in getting more votes and your story will be very popular on Digg, delicious etc
Submit new news
Dont submit old news, which have become obsolete. You have to understand that yesterday was a dream and that yesterday's news was part of history.
Give accurate facts
If your story doesnt contain accurate facts, you are in for trouble. Your readers will find out if there are any inaccurate details in your story and the votes which you will get will be negative.

CRM is defined as Customer Relationship Management or Customer Relationship Marketing. And Zine Marketing is very important to stay in touch with the customer base !
Creating an ezine is not difficult. You can get an ezine template from the Web and create an ezine. Add one article and some affiliate ads and your ezine is ready to go.
I created my Ezine, the Z Files, in 1999. Now my Z Files has a subscriber base of 42000 !
Zine Marketing has played a key role in the marketing of my sites !
If you have many sites, all these sites can be highlighted in the Ezine. You can write an article and give links to your sites. This is known as the Pull Strategy of Viral Marketing. Your readers will click on those links and bingo ! you have traffic!
You should give an unsubscribe option in your Zine. This is a must. Those who want to unsubscribe can do so. You can also give a subscribe option. Your readers may send your Ezine to their friends, if they like the Ezine and these friends may subscribe to your Zine.
When I started the Z Files in 1999, my cyber friend Dr Chava Golden said it is wonderful and it will received well. It was, as she predicted. One reader said " I love your Ezine ". There are reasons for saying so. I was giving valuable information- astrological, philosophical and about Intellectual Marketing !
You can advertise about your products and services in your Ezine. You can join many affiliate marketing programmes and advertise those affiliate links and earn more.
In other words, ZIne Marketing is one of the best marketing methods on the Web !
You can get a lot of subscribers from your website. I have written on my site like this
You can submit your ezine to the ezine directories. This will make your Ezine more popular.
Once you give useful content, your subscriber base will grow. You can join swap ads with other ezine publishers. You can swap articles also with other ezine owners. You can publish their articles in your Ezine. They will publish your article in return.
Now the basic formula of Marketing is " Dont Sell, Educate ! "
Dont Sell, Influence. Why ? Because Marketing is not Selling, Marketing is Educating !
Marketing is not Selling ! Marketing is Sharing !
I am confident that what I have learnt about Web Marketing will be useful to the newbies ! They will get a lot of hits to their dotcoms, if they follow the principles of Web Marketing !
Let them check my articles on Web Marketing and it will be very, very useful to them !
Mrs Gandhi, the UPA Chairman, commissioned the Sea Link which connects Bandra & Worli in Mumbai. It is an infrastructure marvel, a 4.7 km bridge over the sea, made up of 30,000 tonnes of steel and 90,000 tonnes of Cement.
Trip via this link will save almost one hour of time, during peak hours. A toll of Rs 50 will be levied. It is an 1650 crore project, which took 9 years of time.
This is the first of its kind in India. Bombay resembles Shanghai now.
Mumbai also got the first NSG hub, spread over 22 acres.
This is the age of Social Networking and Bookmarking sites and your presence is necessary on many of these sites. Marketing through Social Networking sites is known as Social Media Marketing and Optimisation is known as Social Media Opitmization. It was an Indian programmer, Rohit Bhargava, who coined the term Social Media. Web 2.0 began !
I started my 35th blog,
