Hello Adland Community,        

Tips on Attracting and Developing Qualified Viewers

A qualified viewer is someone that has an interest in what you offer. You are going to get less traffic however the traffic that comes in using this method will have a higher conversion rate.

You can draw qualified viewers with content kept related to what you are offering in your blogs and forums. Advertise your blog site or forum links based on the topic content (not your product). For example: if your product is prepaid legal services start a Justice blog or forum and post your articles related to the topic. The viewers interested in this content will eventually lead them to your related links.

Here are some tips that can help you draw in qualified viewers.

1. When you set up a blog related to your target audience’s interests make sure the content you are providing is relevant and up to date. Introducing the product you have can be done with your own strategically placed ads on your own blog sites.

Advertise your blog site for its topic of information and not as an ad for your products.

2.  Create and join related forums and just like your blogs make sure the forums you create have relevant information. Placing low key text links in your signature will be seen as you are posting and responding in your forum.

Posting in others forums should stay on and be strictly related to the topic, your links are in your signature and may or may not be allowed by the administrator of the forum so again be low key. The louder your signature is the more likely it is your post will be deleted.

3. Knowing everything there is to know about what your product offers is an absolute must. Buyers will post questions in your forums, you need to give them the answers they need. 

4. If you have any testimonials you could post them in your blogs. Testimonials are a great way for interested viewers to take your product seriously.

Placing testimonials in between articles works very well.

5. Show restraint: try not to make your blog or forums a gigantic ad and be sure you update the information regularly or no one will return to them.

You have now introduced your product/service to a market that should have some type of interest in your product or they would not be there reading the related topics you have in your forums or blogs. These viewers are more likely to have a genuine interest in what you have to offer.

Keep this in mind: remember to evolve, refresh your content with topics and new looks. Never let your image or appearance get old and just keep building off what you have started!

Barry Scott

MEET

TREVOR MCGUIRE

President

of

SINGSNAP.COM

 

In 2008 I was introduced to SingSnap by a dear friend who knew I loved to sing and at that time was going through a rough time after my Dad passed on in February of that year. Well I joined there and was quite apprehensive as to what to expect. I soon realized there was much to be enjoyed. Trevor does his best to keep the site clean, peaceful & full of entertainment he is assisted by a very vibrant team of helpers who are dedicated and add to the value of the site and the vision Trevor has for SINGSNAP. I thank Trevor for taking the time to do this for us.

Pauline: Thank you Trevor for giving us the time & the privilege of this interview.

Trevor: Thank you very much for having me, it is my pleasure.

Pauline: When did this concept of Karaoke online take birth with you?

Trevor: We have been in this business for over ten years now. Along the way we have been innovators and have always worked towards this sort of thing. The technology has finally caught up with us in the last few years and enabled us to realize our vision.

Pauline: What were the major challenges you faced before establishing success ?

Trevor: There were and still are many challenges. I would say keeping ahead of the competition while balancing all of the financial, technical and legal challenges on an ongoing basis.

Pauline: What would you attribute your success too Trevor ?

Trevor: Vision and Perseverance.

Pauline: Who was it that inspired you the most through your journey thus far …how & why?

Trevor: The journey is far from complete. Mostly I have been inspired from the people who use our product and how we have enriched their lives. It is both humbling and motivating.


 
Pauline: About recession, how could we not talk about it…every internet marketer has suffered the brunt of it…how did you cope ?


Trevor: Our product is like comfort food, something you eat to get through difficult times. We managed to grow during this time by keeping our product fresh, relevant and responding to the needs of our community.


Pauline: On a more lighter note I just have to ask you this … What is Trevor like on a day at home, yes that’s when you’re not working…just relaxing & taking a break?

Trevor: I have many interests. Reading, movies, many outdoor activities and aviation take up my free time.

Pauline: Is there anything in particular you would like to tell our readers ?

Trevor: Enjoy what you do and it will not seem like work!!

In closing I have to echo Trevor’s thoughts here “Enjoy what you do and it will not seem like work!!” Indeed this is so true, to me this cuts stress to a large extent and could only result in all that’s positive.

Thank  you once again Trevor for this time with you it was a pleasure to have you share your thoughts here with us ADLANDERS!

Meet our Goodwill Ambassador - Alain Deguire

Alain Geguire

Greetings to all of You Dear AdlandPro Members and Friends!

Today, I want to bring in here a little reflection about the relationship between Goodwill and Business. I hope You can get something that will help You moving one step further with your business… wishing You all the Success that You dream of and deserve.

Like myself, You probably heard about the fundamental basis of Network Marketing… «We do not sell anything, we simply talk about how we feel or benefit from a product (ex. Movie, Candles) to our FRIENDS and, by doing so, our Friends will then go see the movie or buy the product and, we get paid for having talked about it».

My purpose here is not to discuss that fundamental but to attract your attention on the Key Word in it… being «FRIENDS».

Would You rather Join in a Business Venture with a Friend or with a Perfect Stranger? A Friend is a Person we know, we appreciate – like or love, with whom we share some common interests and, with whom there is a relationship of Trust. When we do have to deal with a Stranger, don’t we try first to get as much info as possible on this person so that we can feel this Trust?

From this Perspective, spending some time on Goodwill – getting known (profile – picture, about me, etc.), building relationships (participating in Community events), making Friends and, establishing a Feeling of Trust about Yourself all around the Community is certainly a very good investment that can only help achieve Greater Success.

Remember the Saying… «The More You Give, The More You Receive»… meaning that we shall Give first. Giving of Yourself allows You to get Noticed, to be Known and, to Start Developing a Sense that it would be GREAT to Join with You in a Business Venture.

Stop Being a Perfect Stranger and Add some Goodwill… for Better Results!

Love and Blessings,

Alain
