Well, what can I say today's article, "Think Like a Pro," has got to be the best advice I've heard in awhile. I like working on my web site but there are times that I don't think like a pro and my site seems to suffer. Even though I am getting about 75-100 page views a day I know it could be more. I know if I spent a little more time just thinking like a pro I could increase that rate exponentially. So enjoy today's article and take it to heart, it could possibly be the best thing you can do for your web site.

Sincerely

I have a great way to boost your exposure on the 'Net. I'm going to start by saying what I found out:

You have to stop thinking and doing like an amateur and start thinking and doing like a pro.

I know this is an obvious concept and it sums it up in any profession, but it directly applies to Internet marketing as a whole, since most Internet marketers are amateurs.

I found out that creating a club or hosting an event does wonders for your online business. It is kind of like a disguise or a "camouflauge." You pick something you are passionate about; some hobby or pastime or anything you think may make a difference in other peoples' lives and you sponsor it like big corporations do. That's it, and best of all it's completely free.

Let's say you have a web site with some affiliates you are promoting but nobody seems to be visiting it. You can sponsor something you are passionate about and promote that instead. You make a page of that subject(1 page only).

For example: Pro-Napster Club (just an example)

It also has to be something of concern or it won't work. You take a page and write some copy about that thing. Again you have to be passionate about this or you're going to need to do a lot of research. You then make a small button 88x31 pixels that says "I am Pro-Napster" and put it on that page with instructions on "how to put this button on your web site." Note: the button should be attractive so people would like to have the button on their page. The code you supply for the button should have a URL back to your page.

Does Your Site Get Bookmarked
We all spend numerous hours making sure our metatags are correct and a lot of time submitting to search engines, but all that work to help people find your web site means nothing if they only visit once. Bookmarks are a huge factor in the success or failure of your web site. Read more on what it takes to get that all-important bookmark.

Here comes the cool part. At the bottom of the page you put your link! See the beauty of this? Make the link small so it isn't obvious and don't make the page full of images or they won't see the link. You can put something like "the Pro-Napster Club is brought to you by: Your Company." You then place the button link on your page and begin a mini ad campaign promoting the club. Next thing you know you'll have hundreds of web sites with your button on it promoting your web site without them even knowing it.

This is exactly what big corporations do. They have other vehicles to move their logo or product sponsor athletes, musicians, etc. This, accompanied by other methods of marketing, is very smart and highly effective.

I have used this technique to sponsor something I am passionate about. I started a club called Anti-Scam Group. I started this club because I hate Internet scammers. The worst feeling of all is to feel used or to been had. If you feel like I do go here. So you see, follow the motto:
You have to stop thinking and doing like an amateur and start thinking and doing like a pro.
