10 Hot Marketing Tips for 2011

Every year people want to know what they can do to pump up their business, so here are my 10 Hot Marketing tips for 2011 in no particular order!

1. Facebook - Nearing some 600 million users, it would be foolish to ignore the power of Facebook. This is where the people are, so it is also where you need to be. Originate a Facebook page for your company if you haven't already, and set about making it popular. Once you've got a few thousand people who like you, this is every bit as indispensable as an e-mail list.


2. Webinars - Fast replacing sales letters, webinars are proving to be a very flexible and easy to ramp up form of reaching a lot of people in a short estimate of time. They're exquisite for scaling your marketing efforts. Learn how to do them today!


3. Mobile Marketing - Google says that by 2013, one in every two searches will be made from a movable device. Are you mobilized to the extent you need to be yet? If not, this is the year to get it done, and take benefit of the immense opportunity movable presents!


4. Blog More - Making sure you keep in touch with those people who would listen to you is of the utmost importance. Most of us don't blog often enough, and consequently miss out connecting with the very public we claim to be seeking to engage.


5. Build Your List - Simply putting up an opt-in box on your blog isn't enough: you need to set up a marketing plan to actively and energetically build you list. Make this the year you do this. Putting it off other year puts you that much further from the success you seek.


6. Track Your Marketing - Make sure that in 2011 you set up tracking for your marketing efforts. Even if it is only Google analytics, that will be of great help to you in strategically crafting your marketing plans going forward. Learn to use tracking codes in your advertising as well, so you know which of them are paying off.


7. Syndicate Your content - Spread the wealth around. Make sure you get your content noticed by utilizing public bookmarking Rss and complicated homes for it.


8. Work Your List - Once you've got a list, don't be shy about communicating with them. The mistake many people make is that they feel like they "don't want to bother them." The explication to that is to offer dreadful content every time you feel them (whether it's yours or not!) and shop to them at a ratio of possibly 1 in 5 messages.


9. Convert an Hour A Day - Take an unproductive hour (one spent reading junk e-mail), and convert it into a efficient hour. Sounds easy? Try it and see.


10. Create More content - This is, possibly your most leading task. Originate as much content as potential this year, either that be in the form of articles, e-books, reports, videos, podcasts, or products. If you need to, outsource it, but don't fail in creating it.
