Marketing online at Christmas is the same as marketing throughout the year. You still need to entice a potential buyer. I enjoy getting free stuff. But not just any free stuff. I need to know the person before I give them my information (my name and email address). Jeanette Cates is one of those people. I have taken a class from her in the past. She showed me through videos how to set up a blog and master all the extras that go with it. She is now offering a free gift for Christmas, actually, 12 free gifts.
When I am asked how to transfer a business online, I recommend you start with a blog. But before you jump in, you need to know some basics. Will you name your online business the same as your offline business? You need to pick a domain name to name your blog. What if your idea is already taken? You may not be able to match the names. Jeanette describes what a keyword search is and how to use it to your advantage. Keywords can become the basis for your online business. You can match up your keyword search names with the title of your blog. Your keyword search names will help with your search engine optimization, or SEO. The keywords you pick can make or break your business.
I recommend you sign up for the 12 days of Christmas gifts from Jeanette or click on the presen'ts picture over on the right side. Your marketing will improve if you take the right beginning steps.
