Although creating an Ebook can be a job that takes several months of preparation, both for the drafting of texts, such as the structuring of the entire ebook, development, paging, image, etc.., Promote your Ebook may be a strategy that takes years and that during this period allows you to create a revenue stream for your interesting blog. The same applies to any other infoproduct. But for that to happen, you need to use strategies to promote more accurate your infoproduct and get a really interesting flow of sales.

1. WRITE A REVIEW ON YOUR BLOG

The first aspect to consider when promoting their infoproduct is to harness the potential of your blog, assuming you have one. Building an audience with a blog is one of the most effective ways to be able to generate income with their infoproducts because their readers are supposed to be his greatest followers, that audience really interested in buying your products and consume their information.

However having a blog is not enough. You must put your infoproduct in the face of its users, writing a paper analyzing the book and pointing out the advantages of the user to buy. As with the articles sponsored, your analysis should focus on the points and advantages of your infoproducts, and make your users feel the need to buy the product to become better informed on the subject you write, regardless of their area infoproduct. We have seen many bloggers to create infoproducts in several areas, such as money, gambling, freelancer, wordpress and many others, so the area is not the most important, but how you captive its users to buy their products.

2. PROMOTE YOUR infoproducts INSIDE YOUR SITE / BLOG

If you have a website or a blog related to the niche market of your infoproduct, it is important that you take advantage of this potential to promote your product, generate traffic to the landing page of it, and consequently sales.

For this type of strategy is recommended that you develop one or two banners to use exclusively on your blog. That way you can promote your infoproduct in specific sections of your website / blog, without interfering with other activities in the project itself. When placing ads, always place them in strategic locations and usually highly visible, and point those ads for the sale of the product page.

3. CREATE THE PRODUCT IMAGES FOR PROMOTIONAL


Having an affiliate program for their infoproducts is undoubtedly one of the best strategies you can ever realize. However, an affiliate program is something that has its demands and requires some investment, so there are other interesting ways you advertise your product free of charge and with the help of its users. As for instance with a directory of blogs, many users who like the design, tend to promote it in their own blogs. The same happens with infoproducts. If you have a infoproduct quality, to offer its users the ability to help them to disclose that infoproduct through images and promotional banners. Create a kit banners in various sizes, and make it available to users who wish to help spread the product. You will be surprised with the results!

4. USE STRATEGIES IN SOCIAL MEDIA

Imagine you have a infoproducts Make Money on the Internet, for example. Your target audience are bloggers, webmasters and freelancers who are trying to make money on the internet with their websites, blogs or even infoproducts too. These users / clients are present in social media, and you're losing money on them because they are not using the right strategies to make them get your message.

If you're at twitter.com / search, you enter the search engine's official Twitter, which basically allows you to search everything you want, by sector including people, places, content, dates, etc.. This feature is very little explored by bloggers and webmasters who want to improve their income by selling infoproducts, but the truth is that there are many opportunities available in this social network as well as in others, such as Facebook, for example.

The more you position yourself as a user that in addition to helping others, is also a knowledgeable user in a particular subject, the more you will be able to attract new users to your network of followers and potential customers for their infoproducts. A Twitter user who was helped by you, the next time you need help, it will appeal to you because you are an authority in respect of that matter.

If you click the option "Advanced Search" will take you automatically to the advanced search engine of Twitter. Here, you can specify almost every detail of the research you want to perform on the network, dirname exact words or phrases, types of users, locations, different languages, among other options. Making accurate research on what you want, lets you get closer to the target users you are looking for, and mastery, make those users and customers loyal readers of your blog and / or its infoproducts.  

Twitter is extremely powerful for this type of marketing staff, and when properly used, can help you a lot to become an authority in relation to its niche market, and thus, help you leverage more quickly sales of their infoproducts. Never forget: there are millions of people who do not have the slightest idea who you are, and what you do. Run after them! 

6. AUTOMATE YOUR PRODUCT DISCLOSURE 

If you want your infoproduct is sold by itself, you need some automatic processes properly structured so that the product promotion is happening repeatedly and your users can be aware of it.

Set which days you want to leave a message on Twitter and also on Facebook, and mark this process for every day of the week. For example: Post the same message on Twitter and Facebook all Tuesdays of the month. The regularity with which the message passes, it is important, because it is in the retina of the users and they sooner or later, will eventually join the message or simply kill the curiosity.

Twitter for example, you can put a message like Meet our Ebook Exercise for Bloggers and join more than 1500 successful bloggers [link]. By placing this message over and over all Tuesdays of the month, you are reinforcing the idea and marketised your Ebook in a way that your users to see and decide to interact / click.

7. DO EMAIL MARKETING

Of all the strategies that exist to promote a infoproduct, there is none so powerful as the Email Marketing. A good email marketing campaign does wonders in converting readers into customers, and cash sales. There are many email marketing strategies to increase your newsletter list, but more important than the number of subscribers, is the quality of these subscribers. Consider the quality of your list and users who receive their messages, so that when you marketised infoproduct your e-mail, he get the sales you crave.

8. SPONSORED LINKS

For anyone who sells a infoproduct of $ 34.90 for example, use Sponsored Search campaigns to sales is certainly a strategy to take into consideration. Create a Google Adwords campaign and target your ads properly sponsored, only for users who perform searches related issues that you address in your infoproduct. Considering an average CPC of $ 0.50, if you need 50 clicks to make a sale, you will be spending $ 20 to win $ 34.90, or $ 14.90 you'll be able to profit from the campaign. Obviously this is only data for example, because in fact, sponsored links campaigns optimized well, can return much better results and more profitable.

9. MAKE A CAMPAIGN ON FACEBOOK

Truth be told, Facebook ads are a great way to generate sales infoproducts. A good campaign on Facebook, targeted interests of users, countries and locations, can help you get many sales in its infoproduct, or simply fans to their fan page on Facebook infoproducts (another interesting strategy). As with the Google Adwords Sponsored Links, segmentation is the most important part of the equation, and the results generated at the click may return gains stupidly high, when the campaign is carried out intelligently.

10. BUY SPONSORED ARTICLES 

If you have in mind that a sponsored article costs $ 185, and that his infoproducts costs $ 34.90, for example, you just need to get 6 product sales to recoup their initial investment and start profiting from the campaign. Well, the same happens to other blogs in your area that also sell sponsored. Buy items, write an article about the product quality, and enjoy this infoproduct to expose thousands of other users who still do not know. If the campaign does not go well and you can not recover your investment, at least know you gave your product and marketing done with it. This is the retina of the users, and long term will also generate sales.

Bringing your product to the eyes of users is more important than everything else. Many articles blogging market sponsored by accessible prices (us included! Very accessible even!) And you're losing your ability to marketised infoproduct near those communities, and beyond can generate qualified sales leads, you can spread your brand and your work too.

11. MAKE GUEST POSTS IN BLOGS

If you do not like to invest, which is a poor indicator for someone who wants to succeed on the Internet, you still have the chance to make-Guest Posts on other blogs in your area, and to take advantage of under cover, to make known your infoproducts too. You obviously no blogger will allow you to publish your Ebook grauitamente, but you can write good content around the subjects examined in their infoproducts, and link to it so slow and natural, without that looks like a sponsored article or an analysis of infoproduct. In this strategy, the most important is the quality of its content. Caprice well for the audience of this blog is interest in the issues that you address, visit his blog, and become loyal readers of his work.

12. WORK IN ORGANIC

If you have a landing page to sell your infoproducts, you should take this opportunity to work on search engine optimization of that page, and to position it in the first place Google search terms related to the product itself . A good SEO work returns excellent conversions and does not cost anything beyond their work and dedication. Furthermore, organic traffic is traffic that converts better, which means that if you can direct some traffic to that page, you will be making several dozen sales a day easily, if you are a first position for a term widely researched, for example.

15 strategies for getting more comments on your articles

Get more comments on your blog is probably one of your biggest challenges while blogging. With the increasingly widespread use of social media like Twitter and Facebook, it is increasingly difficult to attract the attention of their users for comments in structured and quality of your posts. However, there are several strategies you can implement in your blog to get users to engage all of your comment and make their items in real debates quality.

For you to understand more easily the importance of the comments on his blog, and really pay attention to it at the time and work to optimize your blog, you must first understand the advantages of receiving many comments and how it can help your blog get more traffic and thus generate more money in affiliate programs commissions and sales of own products.

     Visits - When you use a feedback system properly organized and well thought out, your readers also have the desire to comment, the blog will return often to see their responses to comments, and new comments from other readers. This generates more traffic to your blog, and therefore more pageviews.

     Engagement / Community - The more comments your articles get, the more you tend to give an image of popularity to other readers. Blogs with little or no feedback, tend to be seen as less popular blogs of others who receive many comments.

     Organic Traffic - It is true that Google indexes the blog comments, even more so now that has also started indexing your comments on Facebook. That means you can get any more visits to your blog through keywords long tail (long tail).

     Loyalty - The comments of your blog are also one of the best ways you can retain your most active readers, responding to your feedback and helping them solve their problems and issues. Obviously, this requires you to respond to comments.
 

 WRITE ARTICLES OF QUALITY BUT ...

Leave space for its users to respond. When you do an article too complex and / or loads of information which responds to almost every question, you do not leave room for your users to investigate, ask questions and seek to interact with your content. Normally when an article is "overly full" tends to only receive comments like "Great article. Thank you. "If the goal is to interact with the community, it is also important that you leave space open for the dialogue of its users.

Make the process as simple as possible

Whether you have a blog on WordPress, or a blog on Blogspot, or even in any other blogging platform, it is important that the process of commenting on an article is as simple as possible. If you give too many options to its users, it creates confusion and consequently less comments to the article. The ideal is to have a comments box with Name, Email and URL, then the space for the user leaving your comment. The more complicated the process of feedback, the worse the results. Try to avoid forcing users to register account in order to comment, to connect with your account from Google or Blogspot, or similar. The process of commenting on an article must be simple and straightforward.

REQUEST FOR COMMENT TO ITS USERS

There is nothing more powerful than asking directly to your users to leave their comments on the article you just published. Ask a question to readers is precisely the same as asking them to leave your opinion in a comment to the article. This is a call to action (call to action) that should be used masterfully, that actually works. If you are using in all its articles, for example, the effect is lost. It is also not recommended that you make more than one question at a time. This makes the response more complex and many users will give up to comment.

Links to Other bloggers in YOUR AREA

This strategy as well as being a way for you to make known the authors of your blog to other blogs, is also a way to receive comments from these authors. Strategies of this kind, with articles you link to 50, 60 or even 100 bloggers, generate dozens of comments on your blog.

MAKE COMMENTS BASED INITIATIVES

These strategies are equally important to create the habit of commenting on your readers. When you create a habit, your readers tend to more easily feel the need to comment on your articles and be active and participating members of the community. If you want to stimulate, create an initiative on the comments of your blog.

ASK YOUR USERS TO LEAVE LINKS IN COMMENTS

This is one of the strategies more viral blog comments. It is precisely the same as you tell your users to do free advertising for their websites or social media profiles.

This is also an excellent way to generate discussion and user participation in content of your blog.

Offensive to their readers (in a good way) 

We use the Guerrilla Marketing to create a title that is controversial, and somewhat offensive, to awaken the interest of readers and generate an interesting debate in the comments.

ALWAYS REPLY TO COMMENTS

More important to receive comments on your blog, is you have the willingness to respond. Any user who leaves a comment on a blog, are interested in receiving a reply from the author. If you do not give a timely response, the more likely it is that it does not come back to comment on his blog.

Responding to comments is a task that requires considerable time and dedication, but is also an excellent way for you to expose their views on the topics discussed, and help your users directly in issues that most affect them. Depending on the amount of comments we receive on your blog, you may have to spend about 4 to 5 hours per week to answer all questions and requests from readers, although you are ensuring that these users are loyal and become members assiduous in their community.

USE A SYSTEM LIKE THE COMMENTS DISQUS


Alternative Systems for WordPress comments are an excellent way for you to improve the level of interaction with your readers. The Disqus, for example, allows you to replace the WordPress comment system with a new more robust system that allows users to, among other things, voted on user feedback, comments subscribe by email or RSS, filter comments popularity, etc.. These systems, when properly used, can be a great asset to your blog and to generate feedback on articles.

A LIST OF TOP ON YOUR BLOG COMMENTATORS

Many bloggers use the TOP of reviewers in the sidebar of your blogs to create an effect of necessity among its users in regard to the comment on articles. And truth be told, when there is a TOP, there is always a much more competitive among users so that they stand out from all others in regard to participation. So if you want to further encourage the community to comment on your articles, consider using a plugin like Top Commentators widget to create a TOP of the heaviest users comment on your postings.

If you want this TOP have even more impact on its users and the growing community around your blog, consider offering prizes to users who leave more comments every month in their articles. Create some rules for participation, and comments to avoid spam unnecessary or irrelevant, and offer prizes to the first 3 users who have left more comments on the blog over the past 30 days, for example.

USE OF COMMENTS ON YOUR BLOG FACEBOOK

After becoming the official Google is already indexing the Facebook comments on blogs that are used to generate more organic traffic quality for bloggers, this solution becomes extremely interesting to apply on blogs, such as personnel TechCrunch's already using on your WordPress blog. Given that Facebook has more than 800 million registered users, it becomes a very practical system to use and generates quality content for your blog too.

Allows users to subscribe to comments 

When you create a debate on a particular article, many users tend to leave a comment and subscribe to the comments that article in particular, to be notified whenever a new article is placed in that Article. If you do not offer the possibility to subscribe to the comments of your articles by email, you are losing a lot of comments and interaction to your blog. For those who use WordPress, the plugin creates Comments Subscribe to this functionality easily and can even be translated into only a few minutes.

DO NOT comment moderation

One of the things I learned in the first few months was that the blogger comment moderation is something that keeps readers comment. This is because they leave your comment and have a desire to see the comment automatically available on the site to be answered, rather than sit back and wait the comment is approved, and many authors take a long time to approve comments. Comment moderation should be done so, when there are irrelevant or obscene comments, and in these cases should be marked as Spam and Deleted. However, leave all comments in moderation is something that can affect the performance of interaction in their articles. Try to let all the comments come immediately to your blog, and see if that's not the most appealing to your readers more involved.

EMAIL TO THANK FOR THEIR COMMENTATORS

For those who do not know, there is a plugin called Thank Me Later that lets you configure an email type that is sent automatically by your WordPress to all users who leave a new comment on your blog. This is a way for you to strengthen your connection with these users and thank you for the time devoted to the response and participation in the comments of your article. Set a good email, with a positive message and thanksgiving, and its users in addition to being happy, they will feel like returning to the blog and comment more content.

Make comments on other blogs 

If you want the authors of other blogs to comment on the articles of your blog, you must first set the example. Go to these blogs and leave comments relevant users and can help the community. The more you comment on other blogs, the greater your chances of receiving comments from these authors in their own articles. Besides this advantage, you can also enjoy the comments on other blogs to marketised your personal profile, earn some extra traffic and start being more easily recognized by the blogosphere.

And YOU, how to stimulate the comments on your blog? 

Use one of the strategies we put in this article, to encourage its users to leave comments on the articles of your blog? Which one? Leave your comment and join the debate!

Review the Socrates Theme for WordPress

 
After many months delayed, finally had the opportunity to test and write this review to the issue of Socrates WordPress Theme. The Socrates Theme is one of the more WordPress themes used by affiliate marketers to create niche sites to promote products, and is also a WordPress theme optimized for use with Adsense.

The great advantage of Socrates Theme is a setting that allows the detail of many aspects of the subject, as the color of links, titles of posts, placing Adsense ads and banners, all in an easy and intuitive, without having to go to search code for hours. And even assuming that they know the code to move a WordPress theme, something that the vast majority of readers, myself included, does not make very much at home.

 The general appearance of the theme, such as the inclusion or not of sidebars, and location are also configurable. As are the images of background and header, and where we can choose from hundreds of options. The headers are available with the theme greatly facilitate the creation of niche sites to include a header image that fits in perfectly with the theme of the new site.

For certain types of sites, social media is also an extra slider interesting, and allows you to rotate banners (included) for the profile on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and RSS, or other banners, and in this case just add the code in their place.

Another detail of the theme is the ability to disable the date, author name, and comments on posts. We are obviously talking about something that can also be done "manually" through amendments to the theme code, but so is reduced to a single click.

For anyone to make affiliate marketing more seriously, Socrates Theme also includes layouts for sales pages and squeeze pages, where you just need paste the code from YouTube or video form to capture email addresses. Since the plugins to make squeeze pages have normally cost some money.

Over the past year I have purchased and tested many WordPress themes, and one of the things I liked was that Socrates, in spite of all the options you can configure, install and get all the theme settings in about 15 minutes. And this without reading any instructions, as I like :-)

Adsense Optimization

Although Socrates comes labeled as a theme for affiliate marketers, especially for Clickbank, I think that more people can benefit from their use are those that work mainly with Adsense. The fact that we can easily change, or choose one of the combinations of colors already included, the color of links, titles, navigation links, and background colors, allows an almost perfect optimization of adsense ads.

The placement of Adsense ads in locations that often work best is also greatly facilitated, and replaces the use of a plugin for this purpose.

While searching for more information about Socrates Theme on the Internet, I found some testimonials from people who say they have doubled or tripled earnings from Adsense after installing the theme. In my case I still can not confirm such gains, but I imagine it is easy to obtain significant improvements, for lack of knowledge of coding, and can not optimize the site.

Optimized for SEO

Another aspect is quoted as being positive in the Theme Socrates is the optimization in terms of SEO.

How should understand this is something that can only be confirmed after a few months, and my limited knowledge of SEO and WordPress themes do not allow me to do an analysis on this aspect. Anyway, there are many plugins that do an excellent job of optimizing a blog, so this is not a deciding factor for me, although once again we would save time to set more than one SEO plugin.

You can test the Socrates Theme for free

At this point interested in answering the question whether it is a good investment to buy the Socrates Theme. I think that for those who already have some experience online, or want to start developing your network of sites, the purchase of this theme is a good investment, even if only by the time it saves in the optimization and configuration of each new site.

While you can do some of the settings available in Socrates with some plugins, or by manually changing the encoding of a free theme, the reality is that you can reduce the work that would normally take several hours to a few minutes, the end result is a site with respect very professional.

However, if they are still with some doubts, can download and test the Socrates Theme totally free for 7 days before buying. This is a good option for those who want, for example, try to improve earnings with Adsense.

If you then choose to purchase the theme costs only $ 47, but it is worth buying the license to install an unlimited number of sites for only $ 77.

Have you got Socrates Theme? What do you think of the theme? You will enjoy the free option to test for 7 days?
