How to Engage & Inspire With Interactive Content Marketing

Easy Ways to Stand Out from the Competition Using Interactive Content Marketing
I'm sure you've heard the old adage "Content is king." While that's certainly true, it's not enough anymore to simply write a text-rich blog post and expect engagement to happen.

According to a study by Microsoft, the average human has an attention span of eight seconds. Eight seconds! You need to attract your readers' or followers' attention and require their active engagement quickly.

That can easily be done with something called interactive content marketing.

While pieces like blog articles and eBooks are considered passive content, interactive content requires the person to actively engage with the content, whether that's by swiping, tapping, answering a question...

In this article, I'm providing 3 ideas you can use to attract your audience's attention and stand out from your competitors.

Some of you may remember those "choose your own adventure" books from childhood. The TV show Black Mirror did an incredibly unique episode called "Bandersnatch" that let you choose game designer Stefan's moves and his ultimate fate.

While you're probably not going to go that far with your marketing videos, one easy interactive marketing tool is having a Facebook Live where you answer questions and take comments virtually.

Here's an example. During episodes of my Tea Time Tips on Facebook, I ask questions and encourage my viewers to comment. They can also ask questions that I answer live in the video.

It's a fun and simple two-way conversation that gets everyone involved with the episode versus me just talking "at" my followers.

Polls and Questions
These are great interactive social media marketing tools. Let's start with polls. I'm going to go with a Facebook example again, because it's so easy to create a poll while you're making up your post. Here's how:

In addition to polls, another way to easily encourage engagement is by asking a question in your news feed on Facebook.

While it's a good idea to keep your question relevant to your business, go ahead and have some fun with it! You want your audience to be motivated and excited to answer your question, whatever that might be.

Here's an example from one of our clients who owns Malarys Fashion Network, a clothing boutique in Cloverdale, BC. Yvonne framed a fashion-related in a lighthearted way on her Facebook page and got a high number of engagements, including 20 comments.

To do this well, think about some interesting topics that relate to your business. Here are a couple of generic prompts that could help:

• Can you recommend some good [your product or service category] books this summer?
• What business advice would you give yourself when you were just starting out?
• If you could run your business in any period in history, when would it be and why?

Infographics
Infographics engaging visuals to communicate stats or other information quickly and clearly. Neil Patel did a great article back in 2014 on the power of infographics. It's still relevant today, and you can read it on our blog.

However, it's time to step up your infographics game with interactive elements. It's true that it takes more time and effort to create a two-way infographic instead of a static one. But if it's relevant to your business and captivates your audience, the traffic, engagement and social shares you get (which will link back to your site) will be well worth it.

There are numerous sites out there that allow you to create infographics from a template, or you can hire a professional graphic design company to create them for you.

Here's an infographic Google did to explain the complex topic "How search works." You can interact with various elements to move you through the content, which is much more interesting than a long page of text.

Now that we've gone over some ways that you can create these unique content marketing pieces, let's look at some of the benefits.

I talked a bit about it increasing engagement: you share an interesting and fun piece of content and users are more likely to interact with it and share it themselves.

In addition to increased user engagement, here are 3 other ways that interactive marketing tools can be beneficial:

They can collect data for you.
As marketers we rely on data to make decisions that will benefit our business. It can be a challenge to collect behavioural data by asking questions outright for a few reasons: Customers are extremely wary of these tactics and it's not fun!

(When's the last time you filled out one of those surveys a website randomly asked you, just because?)

By using a poll or engaging question, you can learn more about your audience's likes and dislikes. If you're inviting your audience to interact with an infographic, you can gain valuable insights by looking at where they navigate and click.

They increase clicks and conversions.
As a small business owner, you should always be looking for ways to engage with potential clients. It can be a real challenge to get someone to download your eBook or to convert on a landing page on your website.

That's where interactive content comes in. It can boost your click-throughs and conversion rates big-time. TheContent Marketing Institute did some case studies of brands that each saw upwards of 50% click through rates when they used it.

Put yourself in your potential customers' shoes: what would you rather click on at the top of the marketing funnel?

A 'Submit' button on a website asking you to provide your email so the business can send you a white paper? Or, a quiz or poll that asks for your opinion on a relevant topic, then asks for your email to send you the answer?

You'll find that many people are much more willing to provide their info if it's presented in an engaging way and it doesn't seem like you're asking.

They build brand loyalty.
When a viewer just reads an article or watches a video, their participation is minimal, and so is their engagement. But content people can interact with is different; it can create deeper relationships.

Research has shown that the more of a relationship a consumer has with a brand, the more likely they are to be loyal long-term customers. You start to be seen as an expert in your area, and people trust you.

And the more people trust you, the more likely they are to buy from you.

The content marketing landscape is always evolving, and you need to be willing to change with the times if you want to be successful.

Expect to see more interactive videos, quizzes, polls, questions, infographics and more; it's time to seriously consider adding these to your marketing tools if you want to stay ahead of the competition.

We know it can be nearly impossible to keep up with your marketing when you've got a business to run!

How To Get More Traffic To A Shopify Store

Having operated a number of web stores over the past 10+ years, the one defining characteristic of each has been the source of "traffic" they received.

"Traffic" is the number of views/hits that an Internet site receives.

Everyone knows about the impact that having a "#1 spot in Google" can bring - it does so because of the traffic it brings to the business.

Thus, when you're looking at "Shopify" stores in 2018, the primary concern - beyond having a quality store, products and experience - is how you're actually going to get people to look at it.

This tutorial looks to discuss the overall process of cultivating an audience who loves what you're doing...

--

Not All Traffic Was Created Equally

The key point with this is that "traffic" is not the only metric that matters in online business.

Whilst it's important, it's really just an indicator as to what's going on with your store.

For example, people who have bought before, and are looking to make a repurchase, are going to be far more valuable (to the business) than "window shoppers" with little-to-no prior experience with the business.

Thus, when considering what I'm about to write, you have to appreciate the quality of people looking at your stuff.

Getting big numbers is nice, but if it doesn't convert into actual business growth, you're not really making progress.

--

1. Focus On Creating a "Brand" (Not Just a Store)

The most prolific way to (presently) attract visitors today is through social media.

Obviously, having a popular Instagram / Twitter / YouTube page is certainly going to give you access to an audience... but the key lies not in its breadth, but depth.

The depth of the audience determines who listens to what you say, and whilst people obsess over having 50,000+ subscribers/followers, they generally disregard the simple truth that if you don't have a deep connection with those people, they're not going to trust you enough to buy things.

The most important thing is to consider building a "brand" - rather than just a "store".

What might be a simple analogy, most people simply try and build a website and get people to buy from it; the best work beyond the store - actually digging deep with the various people who contact them through all channels.

To this end, when considering setting up a store, you need to be extremely personable as to why someone would consider you over one of the massive names:

• Perhaps instead of being a "natural cosmetics store", you use your own name: "Claire's Natural Cosmetics Boutique"
• Focus on an underlying reason why people would (or should) consider your store: "The ONLY store to stock Bourjois in the US"
• Work around "problems" / "solutions" rather than products: "The ULTIMATE Acne Clearing Products for Girls"
• NEVER "sell" anything - provide helpful information and recommend products... but never "sell"

The point is that you should not be trying to set up a store to get quick sales - give it a reason to exist and focus on providing a quality service through its provision.

The "social media" stuff will take care of itself if you put your effort into effective work.

-

2. Most People Want Solutions Before Products

The biggest mistake people make with any sort of venture is focusing on the product.

The product is important, but it's only a small part of the overall offer. People really want to buy solutions.

Solutions come in all shapes and sizes - the most important thing is to absolutely understand where your solution fits in.

For example, most people don't care where products are from, or even why you're stocking them... they care about what they're able to do with them.

Thus, when considering the store you wish to build - you really need to focus on the way through which you're creating actual results.

For example:

• 3lbs Per Day Supplements Store - Get Rid Of Weight With Exercise & Supplements
• Business Computer Repair Store - Keep Your Business Running At PEAK Performance With Ultimate Products
• Suits 4 SALES - Complete SALES Orientated Suit Design & Tailoring For The Modern Man

The bottom line is that one of the more pertinent things I discovered several years back is that people don't buy the product, but what the product actually *does*.

This means that if you're looking at creating a "store", you need to be able to give it an underlying "reason" for people even consider looking at it.

This process takes time, and obviously requires a significant amount of experience. The benefit is that if people like what you've created, they'll generally stick around.

-

3. Don't Be Afraid Of Cold Traffic... But Learn To Embrace The WARMTH

It used to be called "word of mouth" - the idea that someone would refer others to you (simply by virtue of the quality of your work).

People want to spend money. The fallacy that they'll not be willing to spend money in your store is basically a lie that you've made up -- people enjoy the exotic + interesting, and will definitely embrace whatever you've created IF you're sincere.

I used to have a massive hangup years back; never really connecting with people because I was always about trying to "make sales".

Whilst this is important, you need to realize that people talk - and there'll be a group of them who genuinely want you to succeed.

Thus, if you're looking at "warm" traffic (people from your social account etc), don't be afraid to embrace it. The more you embrace people's desires, the more open they'll be with you.

-

4. NEVER "Sell" Your Store / Products - Always Provide Value

If you really want to promote your store properly, there are a number of important things you need to do.

The first is to ensure that you never sell the "store" itself.

People have this fascination with the idea that just because they made a store, everybody else will instantly be interested.

In a world of Amazon, social media + millions of others trying to "get rich", this is one of the worst things you can do.

A much better thing is to focus in on one thing that your store is there to do (see #2), and use that as the underlying promotional message.

Further to this, you need to ensure that conversing with buyers - not telling them about what you have.

This means that if you're buying advertising, rather than promoting your store/products, address their underlying problem and provide a solution.

You don't really need to mention the store at all - only the fact that you are able to provide the solution for a particular price (and free shipping?).

For example...

• Get a killer pout with ULTRA lipstick - available from $9.99 and free shipping (nxt 24 hrs only)
• I lost 5lbs 7 days ago - killer ab workouts that burn fat FAST $19.99
• Getting the right website MULTIPLIED my sales overnight - $450 seals the deal

Notice how people aren't buying you or your store? They're buying the result that you're promising.

-

5. Don't Be Afraid To Test/Experiment

Finally, don't be afraid to experiment.

Experimentation is the process of life, and it's no different in the world of enterprise.

EVERYTHING has value. Obviously, some value is higher priced than others... the point is that even if you created a "really bad" store, someone will still want to buy from it.

The biggest enemy people has is themselves; uneager to risk their name/reputation (ego) on making progress - they stick to what they "know" and refuse to try new things.

This reluctance pushes them toward obscurity.

Put your face out there. Enjoy the process of creation and continue developing your underlying value no matter what.

This actually allows you to "attract" buyers, who value who you are + what you stand for. These people stick around, and are the most highly valued traffic going.

Banner Ads and Pop Up Ads: Which Is Better For Increased Website Traffic?

The internet is full of banner ads for every possible company and product you can imagine. Although many complain about the forms of advertising, there is not much difference in internet advertising and telemarketing phone calls to your home.

The interesting thing is however that web users prefer to be annoyed by internet ads over unexpected phone calls. This acceptance of ads has created a breeding ground for millions of pop-ups and banner ads on the internet. Sites use them individually or together, but some still wonder which is better for increased website traffic. Consumers have offered a response, perhaps not verbally, but with statistics of effectiveness.

Pop-ups are typically seen as annoying advertisements. Those that include blinking lights can even be hazardous to some users with certain medical conditions. They have been considered the most hated form of web advertising available. With pop-ups being so annoying however, consumers may wonder why they are still being used so frequently. The truth is that pop-ups are terribly aggravating, but they are indeed effective overall. For some crazy reason, there are millions of people who actually utilize them when they appear on their screen. This is partially due to many sites using pop-up ads as an excuse and reason for offering free services to site users. They will state that they must use these forms of ads in order to offer the site for free. Users, who don't want to pay, but still want to use the site, will likely accept the excuse without question.

The trouble with pop-up ads these days are that there are many programs on a computer that will not allow pop-ups. This means that when a pop-up is meant to appear on your screen, your installed pop-up blocker program does not allow it to happen and instead blocks the advertisement from reaching you, the user. These programs are very effective most of the time and can cost advertisers a great deal of money if the ad is not reaching the intended target. Advertisers are now coming up with newly programmed pop-ups however that can bypass these blocker programs and still deliver the ads to your screen, whether you like it or not.

Banner ads began to appear on websites in response to the annoyance consumers felt from pop-ups. Advertisers thought that if banner ads were not as bothersome, they may offer even better results than the pop-up ads. Many websites began putting online ads in all available areas of their site. Upon doing so, they soon realized that although banner ads are not typically as bothersome as pop-ups, they are also not as effective. Advertisers began using banner ads less frequently. Many of the banner ads were not as noticeable as an aggressive pop-up ad right in the user's line of vision. Some are off to the side of the screen and out of the direct eye contact.

Some advertisers would rather use banner ads when asked, because they seem more attractive to viewers. This may be more comfortable for the user, but it means something completely different to the advertiser. An advertiser wants their ad to be noticed, even at the user's expense. They would rather annoy the user and get the ads noticed than the ads simply sit being unnoticed. In whole, advertisers were not seeing a large turnout with banner ads, and therefore many sites no longer use them for advertising purposes.

The answer to whether or not pop-ups or banner ads are best really lies with who you speak with. Consumers are more fond of banner ads than aggravating pop-up ads. Advertisers however, will tell you the exact opposite. They both have a place on the internet and their own group of fans. Advertisers will continue to replace banner ads with pop-ups because they are more effective. The power of the choice lies in the hands of the advertisers at this time and until users want to force them to change their ways, the advertisers will continue to support pop-ups over banner ads.

Do Business in A Box Opportunities Really Work?

The internet marketing space is getting crowded. Out of the many ways people are making online, the most popular method is affiliate marketing.

In affiliate marketing you endorse or sell other people's products in return for a commission.

Affiliate marketing does fairly well in the digital information space. The commissions are usually huge and very attractive.

More and more, I see most opportunities turning up with more people promoting Business In A box type of opportunities.

This simply means that you acquire rights to sell a complete business where everything is already done for you.

The only thing you need to do is to follow a few set up steps to deploy the business and then simply drive traffic to make some sales..

You can literally build an email list using this method.

Popular in this niche is Private Label Rights (P.L.R). They do come with the product completely done for you. The sales page is already pre-written for you. Some P.L.R creators even go further by providing email swipes for your email list building.

The landing page or opt-in page is already made for you.

For most people who try to market these type of opportunity, the challenge lies in setting up the sales funnel so that it works as it is supposed to.

The set up may involve setting up your PayPal checkout links if the payment is being made to you directly.

Others will prefer to set this up through JV Zoo for example so that they can use affiliate marketers to drive loads of traffic to their offer.

Either way, most people find the setting up challenging enough.

If your budget allows, you can hire the services of professionals to set this up on your domain.

Otherwise it is possible to follow instructions and set it up yourself.

Changing links on the sales page is another challenge for most people. If you get this wrong you may be losing a lot of traffic.

It helps if you have basic HTML knowledge so that the process becomes much more easier.

Most of these opportunities also come with up-sells and down-sells. This means there is a lot of moving parts that have to be properly set up so that your funnel works correctly.

My first experience was with P.L.R products in the make money online niche. One of the challenges I faced was linking up the sales pages in the order they work as they were supposed to..

I would get mixed up and confused at the end. When I thought I finished setting up and were testing the pages, I would see lots of mistakes that I did not know how to correct.

My budget was so little that I could afford the services of others to have this set up.

So I had to do some more research online and even bought a product that had instructional videos on how to properly set up all the pages, auto-responder and loading emails.

Then finally I was able to easily set up my PayPal links and all the other pages but it did take me a great deal of time and frustration.

Now the question that's more important to look at is if these businesses in a box really work.

My short answer is they do?

But first, you need to know if this is a niche you are able to easily find targeted traffic. If not then you need to do some more niche research so that your efforts are not wasted.

Once you are past the set up stage, the only thing that's left for you is to drive traffic. This can be paid or free traffic.

Depending on the type of your opportunity the Return on Investment can be huge.

If you want to make more with this type of opportunity, you have to look at how much it pays.

I normally prefer such types of opportunities when they involve recurring income.

I am currently working on one that has promise for recurring profits and pays at different levels.

If you are aware of 2nd Tier opportunities, you can make even more from the sales of your down line in your network.

My advice to you is that you find an opportunity where your costs are easily recouped when you sell at least 2 licences to others.

Any proceeds you get should be channeled into more traffic acquisition. Paid traffic is the fastest way of getting your offer seen by many eyeballs.

You should also be building your mailing list while selling at the same time.

The key is to find products that are in an everlasting niche and in hot demand.

A good example of an everlasting niche is hosting and site builders. Everyone who is online to make money requires a website and those websites require hosting.

In a niche like this for example, your product should fully meet all the 7 laws of a profitable and sustainable business.

I will be writing more about the 7 laws in my next article.

I hope you found this article helpful and I wold like to know what you think by dropping your comments below this article.

I am an Internet Marketer who has been involved online for a while now. I have written a good number of articles for Ezine publications sharing my knowledge on some of the things that I know well and have been working for me. I am currently testing out a Business-In-Box opportunity in the hosting niche that has been doing well for myself and others.

How The Internet Came to Be and Why It Adversely Affects You

We all us the internet, whether we like it or not. Consider that there are over 8.97 billion mobile connections existing today, according to GMSA real-time intelligence data. That is more than the estimated population of the Earth, which is 7.71 billion, according to estimates done by the UN.

So how did the internet get its start? A number of factors came into play. The internet technically started in 1983. This was because ARPANET adopted TCP/IP. ARPANET was developed under the direction of the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The TCP/IP protocol suite was designed in 1970s by two DARPA scientists.

The latest version of TCP/IP IPv6 can provide the internet with approximately 3.403 x 10 to the 38th power IP addresses. For all practical purposes this is close to infinity.These are unique public addresses. This would allow every device, whether it be your smart phone, toaster oven, microwave, automobile, everything that runs on electricity and anything embedded in your body, that is powered by electricity, could theoretically be connected to the internet. This means, theoretical speaking, everybody on the planet and all their electrically powered devices, could be monitored by the internet. This means everything that is considered smart, because they are using a microprocessor, BIOS, RAM memory and networking circuitry, hard-wired or wireless could be connected on the internet. Can you say 1984 is about to happen. You read the book and were probably made to read this one in high school or maybe in University. The premise of this novel was very horrifying.

Let's face it, everything we do is connected to the internet, Every time you buy something in the grocery store, the internet is involved. All banking transactions are recorded on some lonely data server, which could be located anywhere in the world. Even when you use cash, this transaction gets recorded somewhere on some server located on some server farm.

When you drive down the road and are recorded speeding on a traffic camera, this is also recorded somewhere using the internet, When you walk into a shopping mall, everything you do is caught on camera, using the internet to allow someone to monitor your every move. All of this is recorded and saved forever or at least until the server breaks down and not backed up. Everything you say on social media is recorded and saved on some data base and will never be erased. In fact certain social media giants allow us to their software, knowing full well that everything you say and record becomes their exclusive property. You know who these social media giants are. But we continue to use their software and allow it to reside on our computers, collecting our personal ideas and social comments. No wonder certain law enforcement agencies love these social media giants. Do you blame them?

According to some estimates there are 1900 operational satellites orbiting the Earth, launched by 40 countries. How many of these are spy satellites? Nobody really knows, except the countries who launched them. Think about this, the internet can be accessed by using satellites.You do the math. Certain search engines can give you access to satellite imagines that will show any village, town or city in the world, from the perspective of standing in a street. This is not in real-time, but is that far off with the advancements happening in computer technology and the internet.

So we can see the internet is adversely affecting us, as it can be and is being to used to monitor everything we do. Privacy is golng down the drain.

Best Regards

Privacy is going down the drain because of the internet. However if your computer is showing signs of age or even worse it decides to die some repairs will be required. You mostly likely will want to keep accessing the internet. Click here to discover how you fix your laptop with the costly repair bill, or worse having buy a new one

Different Ways Of Generating Traffic, Leads And Sales For Your Affiliate Or Own Offers

When it comes to running an offline or online businesses, the most critical things owners need - besides the necessary licence and equipment - are traffic, leads and sales. Yet in spite of knowing this, the underlying question in most of their minds - is how to get more while spending less or better still, for free?

Having said that, this is what my article going to address today.

Now regardless of what they are called, they still boil down to one common factor which is people. Because without them taking action the way you want be it seeing your offer, listening to and reading what you presented and taking up your free and paid offer, your business is not going to last. That is the brutal truth in traditional and internet marketing as well.

So the question is how do I get traffic?

To be honest, there is no right and wrong answer. But there are free and paid methods you can use.

However before even doing so, it is important to identify if there is a market for your offer and connecting with people within that. This is absolutely necessary in order to build an audience as in groups of people who know, like and trust you. Especially when you focused on free methods which I touched upon later.

It is the same way with how you got to know your friends, boyfriend, girlfriend or spouse and how politicians do to get more people to vote for them and formed the government. You might also see that in networking events and seminars.

Below are both free and paid strategies I know and learnt from more experienced marketers.

A. Free

1. Article Marketing

This is by far the oldest but still workable method. What you do is write and submit an article like what you see now into relevant sites like Ezine Articles.

2. Blogging

This is more of a long-term SEO and wealth building strategy.

You can write whatever you want in your blog - preferably WordPress into your own domain and hosting and then connect with other bloggers in your niche either through blog commenting or guest posting.

3. Classified Advertising

You might not believe this but this is how I got started making my first dollar in 2008.

This is a great alternative and test to paid ads.

What you need to do is to come up with a eye-catching headline and 2-3 lines ad with links before posting to relevant sites like Craiglist and Gumtree.

4. Directory Submissions

In the past this used to work very well.

But in the wake of Google's relentless updates, many sites have come and go so apart from Dmoz, they are no longer variable today.

5. Email Marketing

This works provided you have a quality email list of subscribers who are eager to read from, trust and buy from you.

But for this to work effectively, you need a high converting landing page and reliable autoresponder to send unlimited emails.

6. Forum Posting

Forums are online discussion sites in which people congregrated and discussed about common issues and interests.

To get started, there are important rules you have to abide by in order not to get banned.

Such as do not spam but provide helpful information in answering what they need and want to know with your blog and landing page links in your signautre - which is the footer text below every post you make

7. Google SEO

If you provided good quality content in your blog in the form of articles and even videos with social media channel links - I will be talking about later, the major search engine will reward you with higher rankings on first page for maximum exposure and even leads and sales from your searchers.

This also helps if you have comments and questions below your posts.

8. PDF Submissions

You can also compile a set of 5-10 articles into MS Word or Open Office into a report or e-book with an attractive cover before publishing in sites like Calameo, Scribd and Slideshare.

9. Press Releases

They are basically online versions of newspaper reports in which you can submit to related sites.

There are both free and paid services in which you can submit.

10. Social Media And Networks

You can also participate in social networks like Facebook where you can post on your timeline, create fanpages, live events, videos and joined and share in groups like what you do in forums.

Others include LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and Tumblr.

11. Video Marketing

This is where you create your videos from your own PC or iPhone camera, powerpoint slides or both with some music background and introduction or highlighted points text.

If you just want to show your face, you can use camera.

But if you want to share your PC screen, I will recommend Jing and Camtasia Studio - the latter gives you a free 30 day trial before you pay a one-time fee of $197.

12.. Web 2.0 Properties.

You can also post your content in other blogging platforms like Blogger, Hubpages, Webs, Weebly and Wix.

In the past these used to work like a charm in the form of Google Wonder Wheel.

But now you can only posted what you had not in your articles and blog posts.

This works best when you are doing e-commerce and your info products.

13. Webinars

They are online versions of seminars in which you can invite your subscribers and customers to attend before presenting your offer.

For this, I recommend Go-To-Webinar and Zoom.

B. Paid
