Learn Internet Marketing Strategies For Your Business

So you’ll be hearing me talk a lot about Quansite (since it’s the engine that powers AskBobTheTeacher to the top of the search engines). Part of the reason is because the people behind Quansite are having a contest.

Okay, so I’m going to call it a “Quantest”.

The cool thing is – you can win the quantest, too!

There is a lot at stake, most notably, the winner of one of the contests gets free Quansites for an entire year.

To participate, you need to sign up for free to the “Secret Society of the Quan.” I know it sounds a bit hokie, but these guys are from Hawaii via New Jersey, and now live in San Diego. So you know they’re bound to do things a little differently :)

Besides, they wrote the book on new media marketing, and they’re harnessing social media to build a lot of buzz around the release of Quansite. And they’re cool people to hang out with (like on the internet marketers’ cruise!)

To get the details on the contest Quantest, and see how you can win Quansite systems of your own (trust me: you will want one, whether you win it or not), go to the Quansite Revolution homepage.

p.s. One of the things I did to try to win the contest myself is to create a new Squidoo lens about the Quansite Revolution. Check it out, and click those stars at the top of the lens :)

p.p.s. I’ll be answering questions about Quansite over the next few days. If you have questions, please post them below!

Have you ever wondered why when you do a search for certain keywords that pertain to internet marketing like

• learn Facebook
• best internet marketing teacher
• or best teleseminar training

my blog here at AskBobTheTeacher.com and other sites of mine show up in the top 5?

More importantly, have you ever wondered how you could do the same thing for your keyword phrases?

A not so well-known secret to my SEO success is the platform I’m using to build my website here. Since early 2007, I’ve been using Blogi360 to run my site. And the new media marketing engine that runs my site is largely responsible for my results (in combination with my USING it actively).

Now you can have this same powerful engine doing much of the online marketing for you.

But you won’t be using Blogi360.

Blogi360 is like the caterpillar stage, and later this week it’s metamorphising into “QuanSite”.

In fact, you’re going to be hearing a lot about this “Quansite Revolution“.

For the last few years, the #1 skill for building your business online has been list building.

In fact, most internet marketing teachers say without a list, you have no business. This is because it’s very difficult to sustain most online revenue models without having subscribers and customers to communicate with.

Now let’s leave that argument aside and instead debate whether Twitter is more important than list building.

The truth of the matter is, Twitter IS listbuilding. Just in a different sense of the concept. Instead of building a list of subscribers who receive email messages from you whenever you like, Twitter builds a
list of followers who are able to engage in conversation with you and your network.

This may be even more powerful than the traditional list, especially with the tendency for emails to end up getting lost in a sea of Viagra ads and bank transfer requests from the wife of the ambassador of a foreign land.

But more important than getting attention, Twitter and other social networking tools is a relationship builder, not just a list builder.

Whereas the traditional list building mentality is your subscriber list gives you access to wallets…

The new media list building mentality is your follower network gives you access to ideas, connections, market research, partnerships, and profits. This multi-directional approach is more sustainable, and honestly, a lot more fun.

What do you think? Comment below…

p.s. Later today, I’ll be asking this question of one of the leaders of social networking and new media marketing, Deb Micek.

Deb is the author of Twitter Revolution, and Secrets of Online Persuasion. She’s my guest expert to teach you about Twitter during the Discover Social Networking virtual workshop. There’s still time for you to join
us!

You may have a feeling that social networking is a waste of time when it comes to business. Or perhaps that Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., are all “kids stuff” for showing off the inane happenings of their lives.

The truth is, you’re right – if you don’t know how to properly use online social networking sites for business.

Used strategically, both Facebook and Twitter can be very effective tools for communicating your marketing messages to a larger audience. They are also excellent for connecting you with potential customers, and like-minded business people to share ideas with. You may find some viable partnerships form out of these sites.

The key aspect that makes social networking so attractive to business owners “in the know” is

This weekend I gave the attendees of the IM Success Workshop an inside look at how I’ve built up a following of almost 1000 people on Twitter.

More specifically, I got to show my parents how they could use it to promote their Ellicott City Maryland Bed & Breakfast for increased reservations of their awesome rooms as well as their new conference room that we used for the workshop.

In a matter of minutes, @WaysideInn was Twittering away and connecting with new people around the world.

Here’s what I taught them…
