The opportunities to own direct sales businesses are greater than ever.
The internet is bringing many money-making openings to Retirees.
The economy may be turning your thoughts to other ways of making money.
The world is changing in front of us.
If you choose direct sales to make extra money, there are 3 important marketing pieces needed to increase your sales.
The 3 Marketing Pieces to Increase Your Sales: Website Many of you have thought about getting involved in one of the direct sales businesses out there.
You have never had to build a website though.
The truth is that most direct sales online companies provide a website for you.
That takes care of one major problem for you.
This will save a lot of time.
You will want to learn various marketing techniques.
You need to drive traffic to your website.
The traffic would be people, that are interested in buying or learning about what you are selling.
You can work as an affiliate marketer for another company.
All you have to do is send people to your website.
If they like what your company is selling you receive payments for each sale.
It is as simple as that.
You also must know that these amounts of money, or commissions can be quite high.
Free Marketing Techniques Some direct sales businesses do not teach free marketing tactics.
If a company lacks free training select a company that does.
Free marketing methods will be important to you.
You want to learn ways to send people to your website.
Article Marketing is a fantastic way to promote your products and services for free.
Writing articles about products or things that you are interested in is not that hard.
However, there are rules for writing articles and getting a publishing directory to find them.
You want to select a directory that is valued highly by Google.
You want to link your articles back to your website.
I look at back links as branches on a tree.
The more articles you write the more back links or branches build on the tree.
After awhile the tree will be grown and you will have built a solid marketing funnel for your business.
Keyword Research Choose a company that teaches keyword research.
Keyword research is the water that keeps your tree alive.
This is a science.
This is math that lets you see what keywords people type into the search engines when they are looking to solve a problem or ask a question.
You do not want to randomly just start writing about anything.
You want to write about subjects that relate to your business.
You also want to write about something that people search for a lot.
Remember, the key is to get a high percentage of people to see your articles, videos, social media marketing, or whatever you are sending out there.
If the company you choose to work with does not have keyword research training, I would select one that does.
The website, free marketing techniques and keyword research you use will have a big impact on your success.
If you are retired and have the time to spend working on these things, you will have a big advantage over those, that can only spare a few hours a day.
