Facebook Business Page Changes

Facebook Business Page Changes

Wow, when Facebook changed the Business Pages people sure did not like it, so I am going to pick out some Facebook Business Pages Changes and show you in the video how you can use them to really make your page stand out from the rest.

I feel the changes are really good now that I have had sometime to play around but I like many others were very annoyed at first.

However I can see that Facebook also would like to clean things up on the Business Pages and with everyone now having to go right to peoples walls hopefully there will be some work done and cleaned up.

So many Facebook Business Pages were just rubbish, no engagement not much of anything but now Facebook has got us or forced us back to do what it was designed to do in the first place, and that is to talk to people, not just blast them with spam … So many Pages setup with Welcome Pages that were sub-standard. So much affiliate spam as well… so I for one am pleased to see a tidy up and those serious about doing business online will come up with great walls that are pleasing and engaging. (how many times did I just use the word “so”)

You can still send people direct to a Welcome Page by just getting the URL of the page so that can still happen, it’s just that no one is now forced to go to that page nor forced to “Like” it before seeing the wall…. so that is also a good thing I think. How many times did you like something and then saw what the offer was and thought… grrrr wish I had not liked them .

I think that the new changes will force people to use Facebooks advertising as well so that the advert can send people to pages especially setup for the advert. Of course you have always been able to do that, but now with no Welcome Page or Pitch Page as the set page we will have to find other ways to get peoples names and emails and likes. So Paid Adverts, will be the way to go and I am sure Facebook will be rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect.

Facebook Buisness Page Changes List:

  • Timeline / Use it to show of your Company/ Product / Business
  • Pined / Pin the things to the top that you want to show off
  • Private Messaging / communicate with private messages with their fans and users
  • Tabs / Only 4 Tabs visable now
  • Top Picture / Cover Image
  • No Default Landing Page / No more Fan gating” pages to garner more organic “likes”
  • Highlight / Feature Content full page style

In the video I show all these in the above list plus I mention the Fanta Business Page if you want to go and take look. It’s fun maybe you can find one of the missing people.

The sizes for the New Pages as discussed in the video

The top picture size is 851 x 315

The Tabs, those small pictures under the timeline cover are 111 x 74

The pages are now 810 pixels wide, so much room there to play around with.


The video is only 9 minutes long and am sure you will learn heaps that will help you if you have a business page.

I hope this helps you through the Affiliate Maze about and will give you at least 7 step process.

So in answer to questions above…

  1. where do I start?
  2. how do I find a product?
  3. how do I get paid?
  4. do I have to have my own product?
  5. can I make money with affiliate marketing?

Easy Instant Flyers

By 11 Comments

Why you need Easy Instant Flyers in your Business

It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced offline consultant making thousands of dollars every month, or you are are just launching your offline business…having beautiful printed materials like our Easy Instant Flyers will impress potential clients and increase your chances of getting new business.

As much as we’d all like to, we can’t rely solely on our websites, Facebook pages, or even email to sell our services to offline companies.

If you want to sell services to an old school business person who isn’t comfortable with the internet: you need to wow them with a great flyer.

If you want to sell services to someone who only gives you 30 seconds to talk because they are busy: you need to wow them with a great flyer.

As you may (or may not) know, you are going to run into plenty of potential clients who prefer to have a piece of printed material in front of them.

That’s what they are used to and that’s what they are comfortable with. I run into these people all the time. You want to show them something on a screen and they just want to print it out.

That’s why Easy Instant Flyers is a necessary tool for your toolbox.

Get your flyers on the desk of the these business owners so they don’t have to even turn their computers on. They see your flyer in front of them and they give you a call.

The problem with other flyers:

Until today if you wanted flyers for your business you probably had to do one of the following things:

  *.  You paid a freelancer to design flyers for your business and spent more money than you wanted to.
  *.  You bought a pack of flyer templates that turned out to be Photoshop files that you couldn’t open and were a waste of your money
  *.  You bought Word Document flyer templates that you could edit…but were so bland that didn’t impress anyone and were a waste of your money

 

I have to say I have been looking around for a while to get some great flyers that are easy to change and make my own and the Easy Instant Flyers do just that.

 

Easy Instant Flyers work without Photoshop

I cannot work Photoshop and I don’t have time to learn it. I get my husband to do anything graphic but really it takes so much time. The other thing I have done is asked out sourcers to do the work for me, but it is really hard to get the image, of the idea from within my head and try and explain it to someone else, it just takes to long. So the Easy Instant Flyers are the best answer for me thats for sure. I just love them… I know I am going on abit but really they are great.

Check out the quick video I did just to show you how easy they are to use. Just change the details to your own, then save it as a PDF, as you would not want your Clients to alter them, and then its all done. Easy to print out on your own printer and easy also to personalise if you want as well.

 

 

 

I am sure you will be as hooked on these as I am… I will have more great information coming on how to use these Easy Instant flyers in your Offline marketing business, so keep watching.

Video Marketing – 3 Reasons why

By 5 Comments

Video Marketing

I have managed to build a pretty solid business using Video Marketing and would like to share with you 3 reasons why you should be using video to build your business.

I guess most of you won’t want to do video as you don’t want to be seen behind the camera. We are all so vain aren’t we? I have had the same problem, I don’t look that good on video, really, I know most of you will think I just love the whole video thing… well I do as long as I don’t have to appear on the camera. My hair does not look right, my nose looks to big, my voice sounds funny… I know I have all the things you will say. :-) Put all that aside and you will find Video Marketing is a tool that needs to be used.

So here is what I say…. “Get Over Yourself”

The other day I was doing a video and it took me about 30 times before I got it right, I could not believe it. Normally I just sit down and do it, boom done all finished, but this particular day I just kept getting it wrong. Tripping over my words, coughing at wrong times, oh I also forgot to turn the phones off so they went as well… however I got it done and I see as I write this, that video has had over 8000 views, and sold quite alot of product, so was it worth it “TES”, was it annoying to get it done “YES” but end result excellent.

So today I want to take you through 3 reasons why you need to use idea as part of your marketing on line.

Some Key points for Video Marketing

1. The beauty of video is that it’s quick to install on a blog or a website and it’s very, very effective. Why?

2. Because people like to watch and share videos – it’s easy! Why else would YouTube have over 2,000,000,000 downloads per day!

Yes, that’s 2 BILLION!

3. Video has this ability to go viral very quickly

A video adds value.

Don’t just send your customers another boring email explaining how great your company’s services or products are!  Millions and millions of emails are deleted without being read every single day – how many do you delete every day without even opening them?  Even emails from me :-) They might be cheap to send, but what a waste of everyone’s time and effort.  Show your potential customers how much better you are than your competition, show them exactly what you can do and exactly how well you can do it, in a video.  There are some great tools out there that allow you to use video as emails, so instead of a text email you can send a video email. How cool is that. I also talked about this in another blog post I did on using Jing as your screen capture software, and you can also use it for video emails. Doing these kind of emails will also position you as forward thinking and innovative.  You would simply send your customers & prospects a link to your latest video hosted on  your blog, on Youtube or on Vimeo for instance. Which method of communication do you think has the most impact? I know which works best for me that’s for sure.

Using Direct Mail or Video Mail?

Direct mail. Let’s face it, we  ALL know that direct mail can be very expensive. Designing, printing and posting or delivering glossy brochures, that generally get thrown straight into the recycling bin, is a good way to waste a lot of time and money. Direct mail can be effective, if you can afford the expense and if you are 100% sure the recipient is likely to be interested.  Typically, direct mail will show a 3-4% positive return and that’s NOT always cost effective. In today’s world Direct Mail used well can work for you, but as stated it’s more expensive. So I use direct mail, then follow up with email, then a video email, then I call. Follow this system and it will work well, but don’t just send out one email or video email and just because you don’t get a reply think it is hopeless it does not work. How many times do you need to be contacted before you take up an offer. So keep at it. Use direct mail if you want to, and follow up with video email, or video email first so they know who you are and then direct mail. Up to you, but do something. You really have to work out what will work well for your business. But whatever you need to use video in some way in your marketing.

Video Marketing Goes Viral

Sharing video or going viral. How many people were so impressed and excited by your last direct mail campaign that they copied it and send it out to hundreds of their friends, who in turn sent it on to hundreds of their friends, who in turn… you get the picture. :-)   All this distribution of your company name and details of your services has got to be good for your branding too, right?  Viral video is a phenomenon that companies have just got to love – your customers feel compelled to do your marketing for you! Of course this doesn’t always happen, not every video is compelling enough to go viral, but the difference is that this can NEVER happen with direct mail!! And how will you know if your next video will be the one that ends up as the pick of the week by your local Television channel.

I am not sure if any of you have seen this video, but it’s pretty amazing. The CEO of the USA company called Blendtec needed some attention to his product. He wanted it quickly, cheaply, Fast but it had to be effective. He also wanted to use Social Media. He chose YouTube specifically … and below in the video is the result… it’s pretty funny and as I write this blog posts sits at almost 6,000,000 views. Would you say that was successful?

Now if you search on Youtube there are a bunch of these videos. If you check out the Blendtec Facebook page you will also note that there are thousands of followers there and on Twitter as well. It is an amazing thing to watch… really..

What I wonder is how many of these thousands and thousands of followers are actually now customers...It is word of mouth advertising, another words viral… we do his advertising for him (the company) as I send this Blog post out to over 10,000 people how many will now go watch more videos like and spread the word.

All that advertising and word of mouth from a video that cost less to produce than some of their blenders! This video was NOT expensive to make, but it ‘went viral’ and nearly 6,000,000 people around the world have watched it.  That’s quite an audience! (Blendtec also carried out other product tests on video and the results were equally good: Diamonds = 4,000,000 + views, magnets = almost 3,000,000 views and glow sticks = 7,000,000 views. Phenomenal!) All started with one idea and a very small budget video.

What can you do? Really look at some of the videos out there that have huge following, you can do as well or better.

The thing called “Video Marketing” does work, but will it work with just one video, maybe but probably not. I started off very small and now I have 100′s of videos on Youtube and also hosted in Facebook and on my own websites. So easy to upload into all these places. If you want some ideas on how to do your videos go on over to my YouTube channel and take a look at what I do. Video Marketing is one of the main tools I use now days to get my message out there.

I posted a blog post a couple of weeks ago showing you how to use Jing, if you have not seen it then go check it out here, Screen Capture Software – 5 Ways to Use it.

Some other software that might interest you is some software called Eyejot. It is amazing and I have been using it for quite sometime. You can use the free version or the paid. Go on over and take a look at it. I will do another blog post on it soon, but in the meantime you go have a look.
