Many of you already have an online profile here or there at some website or other like Myspace or Facebook. Maybe you use it, maybe you don’t. Or maybe *shudder* you don’t even HAVE a single social networking profile. There are many reasons why you should, dozens of reasons actually. But I’m listing what I consider to be the top 5 reasons here for you so that you know, and can make an informed decision.

1. Mankind is, by nature, nomadic. We move around a lot. It’s very difficult to stay in touch with friends, family members and business contacts in the face of all that moving around. We lose track of them, they lose track of us. With social networking, people can search your name (or the name of your business) and actually FIND you, no matter where you are. And conversely, you can find those of your friends and contacts who have social networking profiles with ease.

2. Make new friends and business contacts. The more social networks you are a member of, the more easily you can find friends with similar interests to yours, or business contacts who are interested in your products or services. For business purposes, these identities can be very important later on. You can invite them to check out your website or online store, or to be on your mailing list, invite them to events, send them coupon codes for discounts on your products or services, etc.

3. Get your business known on the internet. Maybe you have a new company, or maybe your existing company just needs some more promotion. By creating a social networking profile on the important sites you are letting the world know who you are and what you can offer, on a much broader scale than you could do just locally with yellow pages or flyers or business cards.

4. Find a specific market for your product. Many social networking websites allow you to create or join groups. For example, let’s say you own an exotic flower arranging shop. You can find people or groups of people interested in flowers, or flower arranging and add them as friends, join those groups or even create a group yourself and invite people who are interested in flowers to join. This gives you a much larger network of potential customers or clients.

5. Get better search engine listings. Many social networks are considered to be important and valuable by the search engines. The search engines know that they are legitimate websites offering legitimate services, since they KNOW the sites, and since there are so many members on these sites. Very often, your own profile on a social network will show up higher on a search than your own personal website, especially if your website is relatively new and unknown.

There’s a lot to learn and a lot to know when it comes to using social networks for your business. These tips should help. But the Dream Team is more than willing to take care of all of this for you, if you like. We will create profiles for you on the top 48 social networking sites, all with the purpose to help your business survive better and drive tons of traffic to your website.

An important piece of the marketing puzzle is press releases. The Dream Team experts know how to correctly write a press release about your company, as well as how to submit the press release and to which media sites. The Dream Team will do all of this for you, getting your press release written and submitted to dozens of media sites. As a result it’s possible your site will even get listed on Google News, Yahoo News or MSN.

What is a Press Release?

A press release, also known as a news release, press statement or media release is a written statement (sometimes recorded) created for news media to announce something newsworthy about a company, individual or other entity. They are generally used to create favorable press and public relations. The intention is that this communication, once submitted to media sites, will be reprinted, used in other articles etc. and then seen as authoritative and true statements about that company, person or entity.

Why Press Release?

1. Press releases generate publicity for your business.
2. A correctly written press release gets you noticed on the web.
3. Press releases are considered credible sources of news and information about a company. People tend to trust a press release before they would trust an ad.

This aspect of Public Relations and Marketing is often left out but is a very vital step. The Dream Team takes care of all the press release needs for your online business, as part of its service. Find out more at http://www.websitemarketingdreamteam.com/traffic/.

The Dream Team bookmarks your web pages, using the best 200 social bookmarking sites, and an expert knowledge of social bookmarking to get your company seen and drive traffic to your website. This is a TON of work, and we do it all for you. Not only do we do it for you, we do it multiple times a month for as long as you remain a client. This is a very important step in the online marketing process, and gets your website known and seen, searchable and findable.

What is Social Bookmarking?

Social Bookmarking is a way for internet users to save, store, organize, search and manage saved web pages for the future, for personal viewing, research purposes and also for sharing with friends and other internet users.

Trying to remember every web page that you have ever viewed is completely futile, especially if you spend a lot of time on the web. Using social bookmarking sites you can save any web page that you want to revisit again later, organize pages by content or tags. alphabetically or any other way you like.

Aside from just making life a LOT easier on a personal level, social bookmarking sites can be extremely valuable for your business. Let’s say you save a web page about a local restaurant you want to visit. You tag it with relevant words like “restaurant” “italian” “nyc” “brooklyn” etc. Now if other members of the website search those terms they will be able to see your saved page, and perhaps that helps them.

Expanding this further, groups can be created, people interested in certain things based on their tags. This is really endless. The sharing of bookmarked web pages has the possibilities of reaching many many more people than just handing out a business card from your company might. So it’s a very good method of getting your business known on the internet. We add YOUR website pages to these hundreds of social bookmarking websites, with correct and relevant tags. This enables internet users to FIND you and your company and your website when they’re doing related searches. This gets you known and gets you traffic.

And there are thousands of these bookmarking sites, some better and more intuitive than others. We have tried them all, and we know which ones are the best for you and your marketing purposes. So those are the ones we will use to get your company known throughout the internet. The Dream Team is ready to get started on your marketing. Are you ready for tons more web traffic?

One of the many special and amazing services the Dream Team provides for its clients is Pay Per Click management. We manage your Pay Per Click campaigns at Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and MSN Ad Center for as long as you remain a client.

What is Pay Per Click advertising?

Some of you may not be familiar with Pay Per Click advertising. You know when you do a Google Search for a subject and you see ads along the right side of the page? Those ads are paid for by people like you, and are created in such a way that they show up on pages related to the searches people have done. So if you do a search for “tennis shoes” the ads on the right side will be related to tennis shoes. When you click on one of those ads, the person or business who owns the ad pays for that. Hence the term “Pay Per Click” or PPC for short.

Why Pay Per Click?

There are many advantages to having a pay per click advertising campaign for your company. I’ve listed just two important reasons.

1. PPC gives you huge opportunities to get your company seen locally, nationally and/or internationally based on the keywords used in your ads, the money you spend, and other strategic factors. It gives you the ability to show up on the first page of an internet search, even when your organic search results may not permit it.

2. WIth PPC advertising, you can drive more traffic to your site more quickly than with other organic methods of marketing or advertising. The rewards can often be very dramatic.

This is one of the most amazing parts of the Dream Team service. We do all the in-depth keyword research for your industry, create all your ads and maintain your accounts as long as you are a client. We will handle everything. Ready to get started on your Pay Per Click advertising campaign? Go to http://www.websitemarketingdreamteam.com/traffic and sign up.

Establishing a mailing list and staying in good communication with the people on your list is very important to your company’s survival. That’s why the Dream Team will work with you to set up your email marketing campaign and even write your first 5 emails for you.

Why is it important to use an autoresponder?

1. As your traffic increases, you will be increasingly unable to instantly reply to new signups to your website, yet you MUST reply to them instantly, thanking them for signing up, offering them things, reminding them of things, etc. This is absoluteky vital to maintaining your relationship with your clients and customers.

2. You must offer your clients a way to subscribe and unsubscribe. People need to know there’s a way to become a member. Conversely, people must know they have a way out if they decide NOT to be a member. The autoresponder service we use does both of these things automatically. You’ll never have to worry about manually removing a name from your email list. The unsubscribe link is right in each email they receive, at the bottom. And it works.

How does email marketing work?

Basically the same way that individual emailing works. Only you set it up to be automatic. When someone writes to you, you write them back, thanking them or acknowledging them in some way. Well, what about when you have 1000 people signing up to your site, or 10,000? If this isn’t set up to be automatic, there’s really no way to keep up with that volume of email. So you create several automated emails for different things. One goes to them right after they subscribe to your website. Then maybe one a week later, letting them know what’s happening, what specials you’re offering, what’s new, etc. And maybe one a month after that, or one a week. There are many ways this can be done, depending on your industry, your company and your goals. The Dream Team will work with you to determine the best content for your first 5 emails.

Incorrect email marketing campaigns can be worse than NO email campaigns. Let the Dream Team do it right for you. Go to http://www.websitemarketingdreamteam.com/traffic/ to get started.

Website directory submissions is a really important part of the entire web marketing procedure. The Dream Team knows just how valuable and vital this step is to your website’s prosperity. We also know how important it is to not use automated software to submit your website to the directories, as many companies do. This practice could get your site banned from search engine listings. This step, done incorrectly, can actually cause your site to be penalized in the search engines and prevent you from showing up on the first page of search results.

So we do this step correctly, by hand, and submit your site to thousands of websites you need to be listed on. and every one of them helps you get better search engine rankings.

Submitting your website to directories is a really important part of website marketing and is a great way to get links back to your website, and to increase your search engine rankings.

How do Directory Submissions work?

There are many thousands of directories, both general and niche-specific, free and paid. What industry your in determines, in part, which directories we submit your website to. It’s important to know which directories are more valuable, which are more established with better reputations, which delete links after a year and which don’t.

Fortunately, for you, the Dream Team already knows all that information. We will take care of all your website directory submissions, without you having to do a thing. Based on the information we already have about the directories and about your company, as well as our extensive research into your particular field, we will submit your website to all the correct directories (such as Yahoo Search and MSN’s Live Search) which will improve your search engine rankings and get you more traffic.

Article marketing is the activity of writing an article about a subject, in your case it would be about the subject of your website, or about the products or services that you deliver. The Dream Team takes that article and submits it to over 300 key locations on the web. Each one of those locations lists your website and helps increase your credibility, so that you are seen as an authority on that topic. Additionally, you’ll get a ton of links pointing back to your site. And THAT gets you search engine rankings and traffic.

The key parts of a well-written online article are the title, the body, the resource box, and a few lines of additional important information including a short author bio. The next most important element is where you submit the article to. The Dream Team knows every rule of article writing, all the best places to submit articles to, and everything else you could possibly imagine on this subject. So you will be in VERY good hands.

Article marketing is a very important part of website marketing. There are a million ways to do it wrong, and can be quite detrimental to your search engine rankings and traffic if done incorrectly. That’s why it’s a great idea to have the Dream Team take care of this step, and all the other steps of online marketing and SEO for you. For example, the exact words which make up the title of your article are as important as the article itself. Where you submit your article is as important as the written article itself. The rules of each article submission directory are different, must be known and adhered to. The Dream Team knows all of this and tons more information that’s really quite technical.

An amazing tool to generate traffic to your website is video marketing. If you already have a video to use, fantastic. If you don’t, that’s totally fine because the Dream Team will work with you to create a video. Then we will distribute it to over 30 different video sharing websites such as YouTube and Vimeo. This step is key because those video profiles of yours will also get you search engine ranking and traffic.

Why is Video Marketing important? First of all, we live in a visual society. By survey, people respond to visual stimuli and remember visual representations of things more quickly than written or verbal representations of the same thing. We live in a society that watches a lot of television and movies and video and so video advertising tends to stick mentally to potential customers of your business more then the written word.

If you think about the advertising which has gotten YOU to go buy something, the advertising and promotion that sticks in YOUR mind, it’s most likely from a tv commercial or video ad, rather than words in a written article or advertisement.

And since video is so popular on the internet these days, it’s a great way to get a LOT of traffic. People LIKE to watch videos, and with the correct actions that we take in submitting your video profiles and keywords, we can get a ton of people looking at your video and coming to your website.

In addition to the creation of the video itself, the Dream Team takes hundreds of steps to get your video seen. Creating profiles on over 30 video sharing websites, similar to the way it’s done for Social Networking, gets you traffic from people on those sites who are interested in the keywords in your video and on your video sharing profile. In our current society, you’d be very remiss as a company to neglect to use video marketing to generate traffic to your website. You’ll see the difference in traffic just from this one step. And again, even if you know nothing about video, have no video to use, etc., it’s totally fine. We’ll take care of this for you.

One of the services the Dream Team provides for those who want this is “Local Online Marketing”. If you are looking for local traffic for your business, this is a vital step and is a very specific, largely unknown technology. Fortunately for you, we DO know this technology and CAN get you local traffic.

What’s the difference between local and non-local online marketing? Everything. When people search the web for local information, they search it differently than when they’re just searching generally on the web. This part of the general subject of Geomarketing. Think of yourself, for example. If you are looking for a vet in your town, do you do a search for simply “veterinarian”? No. You add geographic qualifiers to narrow your search results to your local area. Not only that, but the keywords often vary greatly from state to state. So it’s vital that you’re dealing with experts who know how to research and find out what keywords are the CORRECT keywords to generate local traffic for your business. And it’s vital that your website and your online marketing and advertising is optimized for your location.

What we do in this step of “Local Online Marketing” is extensive research, website submission to over 53 places, and very technical work that VERY few people actually know how to do, in order to ensure that when people search your industry and your location, they find YOUR website. One aspect of this service is local SEO (search engine optimization) & local directory submission.

Our technical work on this step of the Dream Team service will get you top rankings for your keywords in your local area…your neighborhood, your town, your city, your county. This is especially important when you have an actual physical store, shop, business, etc. that you want local people to be able to find out about.

If you’re looking for local traffic to your website, or want to find out more about the Dream Team, go to http://www.websitemarketingdreamteam.com/traffic/.

One of the first steps the Dream Team takes with a new client is called “Blog Marketing”. This is an absolutely vital step in driving traffic to your website. If you aren’t already using the Dream Team’s web marketing service, it’s worth every penny for this step alone. The amount of clients we can accept for the Dream Team is limited, so don’t waste time in getting the service if your business needs more traffic.

What is “Blog marketing”?

Blog marketing is internet marketing using blogs. Blogs are websites which contain dynamic content and are routinely updated with new content such as articles, photos and/or videos.

The Dream Team will research your industry extensively, and then submit YOUR blog to over 200 websites to get your blog listed there. Don’t have a blog? That’s totally fine. We will create one FOR you at no additional charge, put it on the server/hosting of your choice, and even instruct you how to run your blog.

Ideally you already have your own blog set up that you’re using, but we feel it’s so important that, even if you don’t, we will take care of all of that for you at no additional cost.

Why is blog marketing important? Blog marketing gives you the upper hand with your competition. This is because most other companies don’t even know about blog marketing, and even if they do, they most likely don’t know how to use their blog correctly to increase the traffic to their company. Blog marketing gets you traffic and it helps get you listed in search engines. There is no substitute for correct blog marketing. It makes a very big difference that you will certainly see if you use the Dream Team’s services.
