Creativity.

This is one virtue a site must possess to lead the race in the ruthless competition in the Internet based business. With so many competition and rivalry going on, every method of marketing must be employed and utilized.

It doesn’t matter if you have a killer product or a fantastically designed website, if people don’t know that you exist, it doesn’t matter, and you are not going to make it big. Worse of all, you business could just get killed.

While there are so many methods and schemes used by so many e-commerce sites today, there are still some of those that can help you with an extra boost in the popularity ratings. One of these is the so called Viral Marketing.

While the term Viral easily depicts a virus, a word very much dreaded by all computer owners, it is not what it seems. You do not actually use a computer virus to spread your business; on the contrary it just might kill you. Everyone has had enough of all those pop up ads and spywares.

Viral Marketing Overview

Viral Marketing also known otherwise as Viral Advertising is a marketing technique used to build the public awareness of one’s product or company. They use many forms of media to reach out to the public without actually promoting the product by riding on in other forms of addictive means that could get a person hooked and be obliged or amused to actually pass it on, with the product or company advertisement along with it.

In a nutshell, companies ride on the idea that if people like the content of a media they will pass it on to their friends and family. They sponsor the certain media, such as a cool flash game, funny video, amusing story and such, which one may pass on to another with the company brand or logo or the products description or any other content to help promote the company or its product.

Viral marketing has become a popular means of advertising and marketing because they are relatively low cost. To avoid being tagged as spam mail, viral marketing counts on the eagerness of one person to pas on the product. If a person sees the name of the person they know as the sender, they won’t block it and open it as well.

Many companies offer incentives such as discounts and rebates when they help in spreading their viral marketing. They rely on the number of recipients a viral marketing gets from one person in determining the amount or number of incentive they can be attributed with.

Using Viral Marketing to your advantage

The main and foremost advantage of viral marketing is that you get a lot of publicity and public awareness about your site and your company. You get to generate a flow of traffic that are potential customers. With a little ingenuity and imagination, plus some incentives or prizes, you can reach out to a great number of people and announce your existence.

Most every site and companies are catching on to the effectivity of Viral Marketing and Advertising. Not using it could kill your business. Along with other schemes and methods in promoting your site, like Search Engine Optimization and such, viral marketing could easily push you ahead in the rating games.

Viral Marketing could be a sneaky way to get people to know about you and your company. You get them to pass your advertisement along. They are also very low cost that not investing in it could be downright a business suicide. All it takes is a great idea, a good addicting game, a funny story many ideas are still out there. Create a gossip or a buzz, many movies are promoted by using scandals and gossips to make them moiré popular. Remember the movie “The Blair Witch Project”?

Many big companies have tried viral marketing and have had many success stories with it. A classic example is Microsoft’s Hotmail. They were the first known big company to utilize the scheme and it has worked wonders for them.

Now it’s your turn to use viral marketing to work wonders for you. Act now and reap the benefits Viral Marketing will provide for you and your sales figures.

Hopefully you know all the basic methods of what works and what doesn’t. Link farms are bad, reciprocal linking has lost it’s value, and worthless links from non relevant sites do you no good at all. If you haven’t heard all that before, go to Google and search for “link building 101″ and read the Search Engine Watch article.

After you know the basics, you’ll realize that you’ll never gain any inbound links in significant numbers unless you have something of value to offer. Do you have articles? Can you educate your consumer? If not, then what else can you put on your website that will attract inbound links? what other “gimmick” or usflul reason is there for someone to point their web visitors your way?

If you’re a contractor, how about assembling a resource center for your potential clients? Where exactly should they file their building permits and how? where should they go to complain about a bad contractor? Got links, phone numbers and addresses for all of the city and state offices they could possibly need? Who has the best prices in town (or shortest waits for service) on lumber and other home supplies? Make a good one, promote it on Craigs list and in forums, and local sites will mention and link to you.

If you’re a real estate or mortgage broker, then mortgage calculators and easy home locators have long been tools that any decent site should have, but what if you’re in a more unique business? It just requires some thought…perhaps a survey of existing customers would help. look at competing websites and see what they’re doing. Don’t steal their ideas… do something better!

What other tools can help your clients more easily find what they’re looking for? Another resource center perhaps, for new home owners? A downloadable change of address kit, or information about all of the utility and service companies for your city or town?

A bookeeper might have developed their own spread sheet for calculating their customers profit and loss for a business. A carpet store might have a square footage calculator that saves to one list for all the different rooms in your home. A plumber might have tips about what drains go where in your home, and pictures of what @#$%! fittings go with what parts . (that’s something I could have used recently).

To become a top search result for any subject, you have to become the foremost authority on that subject. Be creative, give people something of value, and when they like it, you’ll get something in return…inbound links.

“Here, as I sip on my cuppa decaf, sitting in the comfort of my home, ‘programming and outsourcing’ can only be the last thing on my mind. After all, I’ve my business and job in place and am doing well for now!” Can this be you talking? If so, then also ask yourself “Am I just fine the way I am or am I missing out on a Christmas Bonanza by not being tuned into the latest on the outsourcing front?”

If you are forward thinking, you would regard information as an essential strategic tool for furthering your business or career. Read on, because I’ve a lot of information to help you with, whether you are a manager, entrepreneur or a programmer yourself.

No matter how much you would hate being ‘Bangalored’ yourself, but this sure seems to be the latest fad amongst all the big and small businesses in the world, and I’m not even sure whether to call it a trend as it rather seems to be “the” way to do business in this millennium. Just Google your way to an insight into how much an Indian programmer is in demand by those willing to outsource and I’m not surprised if it feels like “Am I in danger of falling behind in business or career if I don’t outsource or get some outsourced job?”

WHY OUTSOURCE?

Pull up your socks for ‘all the goodies up for grabs’ out there. Here is just a small preview:

1. You pay a salary anywhere upwards of $4,000 monthly per programmer. And this is excluding the bonuses and other benefits like travel, relocation, insurance, sick leave expenses etc. On the other hand, for the same amount of job, you pay only a small fraction for the labor (because of the conversion rate of the USD being approx. $1 = 45 INR) and nil for other costs to an Indian programmer. So, you save on your labor costs.

2. You don’t have to invest in the infrastructure, hiring and training, recurrent operating costs and other overheads since the programmers come with their own offices, hardware and software requirements. Besides, you cut on the soaring real estate costs and rents of owning a plush office space in a strategic location. So, you completely delete your enormous capital costs of doing it all in-house.

3. The capital released or saved in this manner can be channeled by your business into its core competencies.

4. You don’t have to worry about the quality either, since you are tapping into the experience and expertise of seasoned programmers. Infact, you are now able to provide better service levels to your end user as compared to what an internal department can provide.

5. You can retain your focus on your core processes and customer needs which directly impact your bottom line, instead of worrying about the peripherals.

6. Outsourcing works out as a greater efficiency generator in terms of improved speed and better service quality without having to invest in people and technology.

7. If you are a small business or entrepreneur with lesser capital flow, you stand to be largely benefited by outsourcing as you can now manage bigger facilities at fractional costs and your customers get services at par in quality with the services provided by big businesses.

8. When there is a time crunch and deadlines are fast approaching with their monstrous mouths wide open, you don’t have to shout at your already stressed out employees, just take a dive at the chill pool of outsourcing and relax. Your work and your deadlines will be taken care of. Besides, you can start new projects much quickly and with no hassles.

9. For small work volumes and intermittent jobs, it is sensible if you outsource instead of hiring full-time employees.

10. With the ‘Virtualization’ of office, you don’t have to deal with the stress and head ache of constantly monitoring at your office. Now you have more flexibility, freedom and mobility and can manage projects online.

11. The more depersonalized virtual work atmosphere is conducive to making wiser business decisions. No organizational politics to deal with, a fairly clean system!

In short, you save your time, money,energy, focus and resources and you are spoilt for choices too! That is why I think, now you can really make hay while the sun shines, or shall I say, save your bucks while the Indian works.

WHY INDIA?

APPREHENSIONS ENDED

India is a huge sea of educated and English speaking manpower (infact, English is the language of choice for the educated Indian). This includes a vast pool of talented programmers and IT professionals, all credits to India’s educational tradition of strong mathematics and science and a strong system of tertiary education. India’s democratic stability, free market economy and dependable judicial system lend a safety net to its already time tested credentials. Infact, you have no legal hurdles to overcome if you outsource to India. Indian legal system has evolved to be highly supportive of international contracts and Indian economy is in tune with the new realities of the globalised world. Rather, thanks to its stupenduous economic and domestic market growth, India is now witnessing a reverse brain-drain for being the new economic hot-spot. All this gives India the competitive edge vis-a-vis the other upcoming outsourcing markets of the world.

Initially, clients would outsource only low skill coding projects to India. But, now with India’s reputaion getting well established as the offshore destination for quality and innovaton, global customers are queuing up for custom made software solutions and outsourcing all their programming and software development needs (ranging from systems analysis to designing, coding, writing, implementation, and testing). India as the first choice of the big players in the Industry, only adds to its credibility.

Clearly, India should be your destination of choice too because of its low labor costs, a populace comfortable with English language, competent and cost effective solutions, appreciation for software development disciplines, focus on quality output, diverse programming skills, best brainpower and rock bottom development costs.

WHAT’S IN THERE FOR THE INDIAN?

When an Indian freelancer takes on the challenge of claiming his share in the outsourcing pie, you know that he has arrived.

1) If you are a programmer, you will be only happy to freelance for an outsourced job since, for you, payments would come in multiples of (approximately) Rs. 45 or more, and this can only grow further.

2) By freelancing, you can be your own boss and get rid of the supervisor breathing down your neck.

3) You can take up just the projects that really interest you and give them your best instead of doing all sorts of boring odds and ends in a regular office job. Infact, your experience and expertise can generate more value for you in terms of compensation as well as recognition.

4) Translating into your life, outsourcing can be a great equalizer since a virtual office trivialises the effect of personality. Your customers will only meet your skills and not you or your appearance (you can save a bath for the rainy day!) and therefore the personal biases of the project manager can’t come into the play while delegating jobs. Moreover, evaluation would be totally fair.

5) For skilled women and the elderly folks who are forced to stay back home for some reason, you can freelance and program your way to financial glory and self fulfillment.

6) The liberty gained by opting to be a freelancer releases a programmer from the regimented office life and gives him all the freedom to be more in control of his life and career.

THE FINAL WORD

Here, we have a scenario in which, both the programmers and the businesses stand in a win-win situation. There will always be people who would resist change and decry the advantages of globalisation in general and outsourcing in particular, for various reasons. But, each one of us can choose whether we like our oblivion enough or we wake up to the new reality, adapt to it and embrace it as a productive part of our lives and businesses. So, let’s get on board this global opportunity and ride high on its wave, or else, as we know, only the fittest shall survive and thrive.

Often times when consulting with small businesses, I’m asked “where do we get started with a website, and will we be able to afford this?”

First off, you can definitely afford to have a website (most web designers charge in the neighborhood of $70-100/page for fairly basic pages), and I’d argue you can’t afford NOT to have a website for your small business. Many potential customers today prefer to research companies and shop via the web, and the boundaries to the audience you can reach is limited only by your imagination. Let’s look at how you get started.

Initially, you’re going to want to reserve a unique domain name (as in www.yourdomainname.com). Try to think of a name or phrase that is easy to remember. If you can get one to match your company name, that’s best. If not, think of a search term someone might use to find the company. For my company, “consulting services” would be a popular search phrase so including the word “consulting” in the name was a key. Don’t over-think this—keep it simple, and don’t get too cute or fancy with the name.

There are several places you can search for an available domain name including:
• Go Daddy
• Register.com
• Domains.org

Most domain registrars charge less than $10/year per site name, and their sites do a good job of stepping you through the process if you’re a beginner. If you come across a registrar wishing to charge you too much, shop around—there’s a lot of solid competition in this arena.

Ok. Now you have your domain name picked out and registered, but what good is it to have a web presence if nobody can find you? Immediately submit your domain name to the major search engines such as Yahoo!, Google, and MSN. The reason behind this is it takes several weeks to months for them to “crawl” (inventory) your site. That means you have a little time to get the content for your site developed. Most conventional wisdom suggests developing the content, then submitting to the search engines, but you’ll be ahead in the game if you submit to the engines right away.

To submit to the major engines, go to their websites and look for a link that says something along the lines of “suggest a site” or “suggest a link.” Then follow the links to submit a site for free. You’ll have to answer a few questions, but you’ll be well on your way to helping others find you which is the whole reason you’re wanting a web presence right?

Next, it’s time to develop some content. I’d highly recommend hiring a professional to create an appealing and functional site. Most beginning websites done by inexperienced developers tend to lack good navigation, institute poor layouts, and have unappealing aesthetics. Your site doesn’t have to be complicated to be appealing and functional. If you wish to develop the main content yourself, have a developer create some template pages complete with basic linking for you to obtain a consistent look and feel for your site. There’s nothing wrong with paying for a site shell and tweaking that shell over time. In fact, that’s how most sites are started. Don’t expect a web designer to write your website copy for you—you know the most about your company so you’ll want to drive the bus for that.

Once the content is developed and laid out to your liking, where are you going to put it? Most small businesses don’t have the resources to host and support a site internally so that means finding a web-hosting partner. There are tons of web hosting companies out there (do a Google search for web-hosting and select one that appeals to you), but you’re going to want to find one that is reliable, provides quality 24/7 customer service, and instructs you how to upload and update your content. The web-hosting company does not have to be local to serve your web pages. If you require internet e-mail addresses for your employees, it might benefit you to find a package that includes a certain number of e-mail addresses with the package. These are rather common. Some other whistles and bells you may want to have included: script handling, database integration, shopping carts, and visitor statistics. The latter is rather important to see how your site is doing and which pages your visitors seem to migrate to the most. You’d pay attention to your visitors if they physically came into your company or store so your website shouldn’t be any different.

Voila! You have the very basics of gaining a web presence. Now you’re ready to start tackling ways you can optimize your site content along with gaining new visitors and retaining them.

Template based web page development:
A lot of people get tempted by good looking web templates. Some template vendors even offer do-it-yourself kits to their customers. Web templates are designed by experts, using the latest designing software. They look stunning, compared to web pages developed by other means. While readymade templates offer several advantages, they have some disadvantages too.

Advantages of using templates:
1. You know how your finished site looks. You can choose the template that appeals to you. You need not rely on a web developer to get a good looking website.
2. Faster turnaround. You need not spend a lot of time on getting the colors and layout right. You can go straight to changing text and proceed with programming.
3. Templates are much cheaper than hiring a web developer. There are several sites that offer free templates as well.
4. Templates look much better than sites developed in traditional HTML programming. Templates are designed by professionals that are creative and competent and experienced.
5. Templates can be customized by anyone with basic HTML knowledge. You can customize the template yourself using a text editor.
Disadvantages of using templates:
1. You can get web templates for free or at a low-price. But these templates are not unique. Several people may have already bought or downloaded the template you have chosen. If you cant change the colors or layout a bit, your site looks like a clone of several sites. If you want a unique template design licensed only to you, you need to spend a fortune on it.
2. Often, templates don’t look good if you stretch them a bit. For example, if there is space for 100 words in a block and if you try to insert 200 words in that space, the template layout may change. And this may not look good. This puts limitations on text you can place in a template based web page, thereby restricting you from optimizing text or being descriptive about your business. It is well known that the more verbose in a page the more attention it gets from search engines. A template doesn’t come with Meta tags. You need to insert these meta tags.
3. Templates are good for static pages. If a site needs dynamic pages with a huge database to built, you need to opt for simpler templates.
4. If you are doing customization for yourself, always work on a copy of the template files. Templates are often done with simple HTML. But if you try to edit HTML tags instead of text between them, you might end up with bad page layout.
5. If there are template files with .tpl extension, locate the files where variables are defined. Then try to establish the logic behind the file system.

Using WYSIWYG editors:
Nowadays, several WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editors are available for creating web pages. With these editors it is possible to create good looking pages simply by dragging and dropping objects on the page, without any HTML knowledge. They come with a lot of menu options. If you are familiar with windows objects or windows based software, you can create a web page in time.

Advantages of using a WYSIWYG editor:
1. Its great fun to create web pages this way. You can do it yourself, experimenting with colors and layouts. The web page is likely to be unique, unless you are trying to clone another web page. You can stretch your imagination.
2. It’s faster and easier to create web pages. You can make changes to a page layout by simply dragging the objects to their new positions.
3. You can make changes to content (text or images) in WYSIWYG editor, instead of searching for and inserting between HTML tags, or using a complex content management system.
4. WYSIWYG software runs on any windows computer.
5. you can also create background images on fly.

Disadvantages of using a WYSIWYG editor:
1. A WYSIWYG editor produces files of large sizes. The web page may take a bit longer to download.
2. The HTML code generated may not be compliant with existing web standards. Some of these editors are meant for web sites to be hosted with particular servers. Some WYSIWYG editors even produce files with their own extensions.
3. You need to fill in a lot of details, such as Meta tags and link colors for each page. Some WYSIWIG editors support CSS while editing and some don’t.
4. You need to preview the page in different browsers more often to see if the page is shaping up as you intended.
5. Web pages designed using WYSIWYG editors are rigid. They do not stretch if you put more text or images on a page. Instead they overlap on each other. Some WYSIWYG editors produce excessive div tags. It is difficult to edit these pages in an ordinary HTML editor.
6. Often these web pages are difficult to optimize for search engines.

I believe this article will help you in deciding the tools to use for your next website. If your site requires a huge database and pages need to produce dynamically, it is always better to opt for traditional programming methods. If your site is static, then a great looking template or using WYSIWYG editor will be a good option. Another factor you need to consider is SEO. If you want to rely on traffic from search engines, traditional HTML, CSS gives you the best results. If you can promote your site by spending huge amounts of money, you can go for flashier and visually stunning templates without much regard to SEO.

Do you have a business? Are you having difficulty with regards to how you can reach customers for your business to become successful?
Your business can now be on-line! Markets nowadays are no longer restricted to the four walls of an office due to the advent of e-shops.

E-shop is an on-line market where customers do their shopping through the net. It is much easier for the owners and for the customers as the process which starts from the first contact through payments and collection stages can be done on-line. To do this you should know what the customers look for in a business on-line. Starting an on-line business is just like starting any other business there’s only a few differences such as your dealing with international audiences/customers and you should have knowledge about on-line stuff so you wouldn’t be ripped off your money’s worth .

First, you should know what you want to do: what kind of business are you doing; what will you offer to the customers and so on. Idea and the start up plan should be the first things you have in mind. Then, select your domain name, this are hostnames that provide more easily memorable names to stand in for numeric IP addresses. Pick a domain name that will suit your business and that is short and is memorable to the customers especially those who are not technically savvy. And your domain name should have a keyword or that when a surfer sees it they already know what you offer. A site that no one uses, visits or seen by many are useless. Next, hire a web designer and developer that will do all the designing and programming to create your web site. The design of your site will make or break your business,for it will make you look professional or a new comer on the industry. The look of your site should reflect what your company is or what you are offering. On-line shoppers look for a business identity that they can trust so your marketing services should be well-designed. It is a common knowledge that some of the customers hesitate to buy on-line because they need to be reassured that they are dealing with a trustworthy company/business. In addition, your site should be easy to access. An on-line business should be easy to navigate, you should think those customers who are not net savvy. If customers experience dissatisfaction may it be in the site or the company products, it might result to a lost of that customer. In your on-line business it is just only proper that if you have products to offer, it must be viewable by the customers. Your products’ functions, benefit and specifications should be listed as this will give customers awareness or knowledge of what he/she is buying. It is good if your business allows different kind of payments like credit cards, pay pal, money order or checks, etc. It is also good if your site have the currency-converter feature as you are dealing with international customers and buyers usually wants to know how much it’ll cost them with their money before they purchase the product or the service. Also, customers should be able to order multiple products or they can add up the quantities of the product that they want to buy and on your system you should have a “shopping cart” on where the customers see what they just purchased. In designing you should think like the customer for you to create or build an effective site. In choosing a design for your site you should think for a company that will host your site. Choose a reliable web hosting company that will help you with your business in a reasonable cost. And then you should market your website. You should create traffic that will increase business.

Make your site visible to your target audience and your business will get higher numbers of customers. Be seen and be successful!
