Automated Marketing Strategies

By Todd James

Playing the Internet marketing game can be brutal as we all know it. Just figuring it out can be both mind blowing and exasperating, I know cause I've been there. The key thing is to figure out how you want to market and then find the right tools for your marketing strategy and then just do it. Don't let your mind wonder off to other things. Perfect one strategy before moving on to the next.

This may seem difficult at times, but if you clear your mind and stay focused on one thing at a time, it's really a simple thing to do. You don't have to do everything all at once. Take one step at a time and don't spend to much time rehashing your decisions because you will end up wasting valuable productivity time and not accomplishing a thing. Just get something completed, you can always change it later. Let me explain.

Here are the major 4 basic steps to marketing any website or blog. Using RSS feeds, submitting articles to directories, submitting to web 2.0 authority sites such as Wordpress, Hubpages, Squidoo etc. and bookmarking your site on social booking sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and so on and so forth. You can create 1000's of back links from doing any of these examples, I personally do them all. Your should to.

This may seem like a lot of things to do, but if you just take one step at a time you will be happy with the results. Just stay focused and you can do it. The first thing I do is submit to the RSS feeds and the social bookmarking sites because they work quickly and they don't take up as much time as the other two strategies. I like to get the ball rolling while I'm working on my articles, but it doesn't really matter what order you do them in just as long as you eventually do them all. Remember the more you do the more backlinks to your sites you will create.

All these ways of marketing I have mentioned are a free way of getting traffic to your site. It is my suggestion that you do invest in some automated marketing tools to help speed up these processes. In today's marketing world you will be left behind if you don't consider automating your campaign strategies. Obtaining the right marketing tools can save you hours and weeks of tedious labor and make your life a lot sweeter. If funds are low, like mine was just get one tool at a time until you eventually have built up your arsenal for every project you take on in the future.

Right now I am only using 4 tools out of the thousands that are out there. I have spent months researching and testing different ones and I feel I am using the best products out there for the money. Even if I had an unlimited supply of advertising capitol the only thing I would do differently would be to ad one more product to my list. Other then that I am totally satisfied with the results my tools give me. They work!.

You don't have to spend a fortune on tools to get the results you need. I've got a under $200 invested in two of them while one is a $67 dollar a month subscription and the other one is absolutely free. Even though I didn't get them all at once I feel that is pretty reasonable for all the backlinks they have created and the recent success I have been having. The best part of it is they can be used time and time again for any other projects that I may come up with.

So in closing the best advise I can give you is to be patient and stay focused on the task at hand. Take the time to go through any learning curves you run across and move on. Don't let your time and energy be wasted on endless searches for something new that keeps leading you around in circles. Pick a product that works for you and your budget and stick with it. You will have a lot of success if you follow these simple rules.

This just goes to show you that the tools I use must be doing something right if you are reading this article. Take the time to take a look at them at www.bestarticlesubmitters.com
