Blogging Carlo Selorio customer relationship hits Internet Marketing SEO Social Bookmarking social marketing Social Networking stats Traffic Traffic Tactics Viral Marketing visits

Ok… a few of my readers have been asking me about social networking and social bookmarking.

Just so you know, I’ve been using social marketing as a means to drive traffic to blog since September this year. I was stunned by the results of my case study. I wrote an article last night and then posted it to my favourite Social Networking sites and then went too sleep. I got up this morning to get ready for my weekly mastermind meeting and decided to check my stats to see that…

I got 55,708 hits for the 14th of November!!! Over half the amount of hits I received for the whole month of October. So far this month, I’ve already had 168,000+ hits and we are only half way through the month.

Here are my stats for this year, you will notice when the traffic started increasing significantly:

Below is the actual numbers for this year so far:

I’ve already got 117 sites referring to my blog and it just keeps on growing. I’ll be putting up my advertising page soon for those who want to tap into carloselorio dot com targeted traffic.

My team has also added a few services with blog marketing, link building and Internet Marketing Coaching.

I would like thank everyone who visits this blog and who have inspired me to give more to my readers.

To your success,

I’ve been constantly blogging and driving traffic to my blog on a consistent basis for the past three to four months using Social Marketing as my main source traffic, since I don’t have the funds to really pay for traffic. This month alone, I’ve already surpassed the 100,000 Hits this month which I didn’t even reach last month. As the saying goes if you build it, they will come has been a true statement for my small success in the blogging so far.

As long as you test and track your traffic, you can identify which sites you need to concentrate more than the others. For me, now that I’ve got solid numbers I know which Social Networking sites that drive constant stream of income. I actually got my first consulting client now and I’m helping to formulate a plan that will enable them to drive free traffic without paying a cent. If you know results coach Anthony Robbins, he has a mantra he uses - Constant Never Ending Improvement as part his success. I’ve also adopted this philosophy going forward with my own business. For those you that have started tapping into Social Networking, I finally found another site that has already started making noise in the Blogging Community.

Introducing: BloggingZoom.com

BloggingZoom was created by two internet marketing/SEO experts, Courtney Tuttle and Vic F(You can read more why it will be a mainstream assassin here.) The site is like a comparison to Digg for Bloggers. I’ve read all the success stories of BloggingZoom, right now I’m still in the testing phase and I’ll give you all my results in a few weeks time.

Affiliate Marketing Blogging customer relationship Internet Marketing Traffic Tactics Viral Marketing

I hope you all had a great weekend as I’m going to give you some lessons I learned from reading another legendary marketer, Janet Switzer. A lot of the stuff I’m righting about is from her book Instant Income. I sugest that you get it if you want to really make a living and working at home.

To start off this week, I would like to thank Janet for really opening my eyes and really helping me understand how easy it is to make money online. Here’s the Seven Steps in putting together your Viral Marketing Campaign:

1. Set Up Three Pages to Run Your Viral Marketing Campaign - You need the following pages to set up your campaigns to full throttle.

Squeeze Page - This page offers your Free Report and it will also capture all the names and email addresses of your subscribers before they download your report. Confirmation Page - This page thanks all your visitors for giving your their contact details, then gives instructions for downloading the free report. This page also click on the following link once they have downloaded the report. That link should take you to your salespage of the product you are selling. Salesletter Page - This is where you offer your products with a salesletter - written in direct response style, check out Michel Fortin or Ray Edwards if you

1. Subscribe to a Shopping Cart Service - Shoppingcarts are the easiest way to manage all your transactions online. Their are some great shopping carts that are plug and play. eg. 1shoppingcart and JVManager. This is allows you to collect your payments, track your commisions, manage your affiliates and organise your autoresponders in 1shoppingcart’s case.

2. Write a Special PDF Report that’s Buzz Worthy - You need to have a Unique and informative report that enables and compels your readers to want more of your content. A great example of this is the Authority Blackbook PDF that has gone viral, literally drive traffic and sales to Authority Site Center. Check it here for more details.

4. Make Your Report Fully “Brandable”. - Their are great softwares out their that helps you rebrand the PDF so that your affiliates and can get credit for sales and refferals. This will help you get your report out a lot quicker if you implement this properly.

1. Create an Autoresponder Series - Once your visitors has signed up, you can set up an autoresponder relating the product that you are promoting to continue marketing your product and brand. An autoresponder can be programmed so that you are automatically sending out a series of emails at pre-determined time and frequency. You can create a tutorial about your report, checklist and reminders to pursuing the goal talked about in the special report. The main purpose is to follow up with prospects and encouraging them to buy your products, This can be profitable in the backend if you do this right.

2. Make it Easy To Give Your Report Away - Develop promotional materials that will help your affiliates and guide them in promoting your report with ease. What I learnt from Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing is if you provide all this you can drive more traffic and more sales to your report and website. Provide, Press Releases, Blog Content, Banners, pre-written emails other tools that can simplify the process of making your report viral.

3. Start Conecting with Your Friends and Super Affiliates - This is probably the most important traffic that you will receive in your report. If you get authority figures to promote your report, you automatically have instant profits that will last a lifetime. If you ended up tapping into guys like Ewen Chia, Mike Filsaime, Andrew Fox if your in the internet marketing industry, you will gain authority status in no time. As long as you give great content and great returns for their effort. How do you find the superaffiliates in your niche? Look in forums, google the topics and find who’s hot in your niche.

I hope I’ve painted a good picture to help you on your viral marketing campaigns in the near future.

Have a great Week!

Lets revisit Viral Marketing…

What is Viral Marketing?

In my previous article about Proven Viral Marketing Techniques, I talked about different ways to increase your profits by the power of Viral Marketing.

On the internet, Viral Marketing is based on pass-along principle. Like a virus that causes colds and fly, a viral marketing campaign also passes things along, in this case, special report which is designed to sell the reader on your products and services. Viral reports, are passed along:

1. Via Email
2. Publishing an article that drives people to your website to download the report.
3. Someone posts your report on another Website/blog or otherwise gives it away because they you’ve given the rights that person can do so.

You can see marketing experts who have done this successfully, Mike Filsaime like The Resource Report in full effect.

Viral Marketing capitalizes on the very best feature of the net - tha is, the information spreads very quickly in this free wheeling environment. You will see in a short moment, many viral strategies actually enhances how quickly your name, your reputation and message can spread. You can actually become an authority figure in short period of time. Once you unleash your viral marketing campaign, it literally takes on a life of its own and can’t be stopped! Like the real life viruses, it will affect hundreds of thousands of people before it fades away and drop in numbers.

Next week, I’ll be taking about the Seven Steps in processing your Viral Marketing Campaign.

To Your Success,

Carlo Selorio
