Google Adwords

WRONG!

Do you really think it is that easy? Let’s get a grip here for a minute, the world and their dogs would be doing it, if it was that easy!

A more accurate representation would be: Write a small advert for your website, pick your keywords, submit. Result – Fair amount of visitors to your website, no sales to speak of, or even at all, cost a fortune. Result:  Won’t be doing that again in a hurry.

Do not worry, because by following some simple steps, you can get right back on track. Read on and let us help you succeed with Google Adwords.

There are several factors to be considered when planning a successful Google Adwords campaign. Each one of equal importance. However, Keywords are the common factor of all.

The first aspect to take into consideration, before planning your campaign, is the Google Adwords Quality Score. The Quality score is awarded on keyword relevance. The keywords used to trigger the Adwords adverts must be relevant firstly to the Adwords advert, but of equal importance, the page the visitor lands on must also be accurate and related to the initial search, too.

The reason being, that Google are not stupid. There are literally thousands of advertisers out there, looking to gain an advantage over all their competitors – so Google will ensure that when they send a visitor to your website, via your campaign, that your website is ABSOLUTELY related to their search.

Why is this so important?

Well, think about it. Google are a multi-billion dollar corporation. Their reputation relies solely on the quality of their searches. If they allow unrelated websites, for particular searches, then their validation, and reputation of their  search engine infrastructure would go down the drain – overnight. You think they are going to allow that? Of course not. Hell would freeze over first.

So, ensuring that your adverts don’t just lead to your homepage, but to the URL that the keywords are relevant to is of utmost importance, too. You need to achieve as high a quality score as possible for greatest results, as the higher the quality score, the higher position the Adwords advert will achieve and also the lower the cost per click, adverts with a higher click through rate will be shown more often.

Quality Score – The New Benchmark

Low quality scores as well as being higher cost per click, can result in the advert not being shown or account suspension, either temporary or permanent, so adhering to the guidelines is crucial. With that in mind, we now know to choose our keywords carefully. Use the Google content keyword tool to check whether Google thinks your chosen keywords are relevant before submitting them for use with your Adwords campaign.

Now we know that the most relevant factor for a successful Adwords campaign is keywords, so we need to look at which keywords to choose to trigger your Adwords adverts.

Using the Adwords keyword research tool, which you probably have done already to identify searched keywords for your items, you have probably selected the high volume searched keywords. These are the keywords that will have cost you dearly, as these keywords are also the ones with the higher competition. They will also produce a low conversion rate; this is because they are less targeted keywords. To achieve success, higher click through at lower cost per click and good conversion rate, you need to target lower searched keywords or key phrases. Key phrases are the most effective, as they tend to be more descriptive, therefore closer to what the searcher is looking for.

Example: Football badges has a high search volume, so will cost more per click and has a lesser chance of converting to a sale than Chelsea Football Badges. If a person types in Chelsea Football Badges and your Key phrase is Chelsea football badges, and your Adwords advert includes these keywords also, you are far more likely to get a sale at a much cheaper cost per click. Revising your keywords so that they are highly relevant to your page content, rather than your overall site content is your true aim.

Use the Google Adwords keyword tool to find an exact match, or phrase match, to help you identify lesser searched keywords, or preferably key phrases with lower advertising competition to streamline your Adwords campaign. (Not forgetting to check the relevance of your keywords with the website content feature). Providing you have a good, overall advert, and quality landing page, then you are on the road to success.

As has been said previously, the keywords that trigger the adverts must be relevant to the advert itself.  So, it is important to include the keywords in the advert. If you notice, when you do a search on Google, the keywords you have searched for show up in bold on the Adwords adverts, making them more visible. If you have used a keyphrase such as Chelsea Football Badges it is a good idea to use this as your Advert title. This will then be emboldened and your advert will stand out more. Another good tip for writing a good advert is to show a price that is including the price of the item in the title – this also gives you more chance of achieving the click through to your website.

Avoid the timewasters!

The reason this works, is because it will also save you money on your campaigns – Why? Because if you are showing the price, then potential ‘clickers’ will either be interested, or not. They will already know what the price is, so if they are not in the ‘ball-park’ of that price range, they will not click your advertisement – therefore saving you money, and saving you from ‘timewasters’.

Adverts need to be compelling, and you need to entice the searcher to click on them. Words that attract are often advertised as features or benefits; ‘free’ or ‘discount’ are good compelling words; ‘buy one get one free’ is also used to good affect.

Spend some time browsing other Google Adwords adverts to see which make you want to go and look or might make you want to buy. Take ideas and tips from them. Learn how to write good Adwords adverts. After all, it is the combination of all these factors that bring the click through to the sale – and this is what you need to achieve for a successful campaign.

Trialling keywords and adverts for a period of time and running others to see which are more effective is a good idea, don’t just settle for mediocre results, when you can always improve and always achieve higher.

Don’t lose your shirt!

It is all too easy to get caught up in the moment when trying something new, and exciting. And let’s face it, when you know you are pretty much guaranteed to increase your visitor count, via Adwords, then it is all too easy to get carried away.

Very many people have lost a LOT of money using Google Adwords – and this this because they have not followed some simple, fundamental rules:

1. Know how much you can afford to LOSE.

That’s right. There is a chance your Google campaign might not work, and therefore only be prepared to ‘bid’ what you are prepared to lose. For example, if you have a £200 advertising budget, then make sure you stick to it – UNTIL you have ended the campaign, and have analysed the results, and KNOW that it is a worthwhile campaign – hence you can then increase your budget.

2. Start your keyword bidding SMALL.

Start small, and then gradually increase, depending on what you can afford, and your desired search positions. It is quite possible that for some of your potential keywords, you could be paying £1 a click, but by paying 50 pence a click you may well receive less click-throughs, but you are also paying levels that you can afford – again, until you have analysed your results, to see what works.

3. Always be checking, and testing your campaigns.

Chances are, that you will not just be able to create an Adwords account, and start flying high from day one. No, what is more likely, is you will receive a variety of different results. Some expected, and some maybe not. BUT, you must check your results; then you can tweak your bidding amounts, keywords and content, to create the desired effect – the right results.

Adwords is not for everybody – not by any stretch, but if used properly, and with a degree of caution, you could quickly be creating campaigns, that not only bring in great traffic – but bring in substantial sales.

Good look, and remember to test!

Got What It Takes?

An interesting question, I am sure you would agree. And I also hope that the stated question is very much thought-provoking. The reason I ask such a question, is because I personally see people starting dropship businesses, as well as other ecommerce businesses every single hour of the day, and the questions that come from prospective, and future owners of such businesses can be quite disturbing.

You see, we live in an age where everything is done for us. If you live in the UK, then apart from having your bum wiped (unless you have private medical care , then you are pampered hand over foot. We live in a so-called tolerant society, if you listen to the labour government anyway, which really means, ‘do what you can, mate, and if you cannot be bothered, we will take money from the rich and look after you anyway’..

Think about it. Most people are naturally lazy, and if one day they woke up to find half a million, in cold hard cash in their bank accounts, then it would be taken as gospel, that they would never lift an idle finger ever again. Fair enough, you might say.

BUT, what we are talking about here, is running a business – a real business; not some pie-in-the-sky Americanised, nonsensical dream, where you may get ‘lucky’. No, I am talking about the kind of ‘real’ business, where you actually have to get off your backside, and make things happen – otherwise you may find that you wake up one day, and society is making your life-decisions for you – and you don’t really want to be in that place!

Sacrifice..

Another question: Are you really prepared to sacrifice what is required, in order to secure your family’s future? To make sure, that once you reach retirement age, that you and your dependants and not reliant of the dire state our country is in, in order to simply live?

Please allow me to enter your ‘real’ conscious mind for a second, and actually ‘jolt’ your senses of reality.. Listen, we are on this earth ONE TIME ONLY. You do not get a second chance in this game. I call it a game, because that is exactly what it is -  a game of life. There are winners, and there are those that spend their days wondering what the hell just happened to the last 25 years of their life. A truly miserable existence for most.

You might say: “Hey, Steven, not everybody wants to be successful”. And I would say, “well what the hell are you reading this blog for?”

I was watching a documentary recently, about the 1985 snooker final, between Steve Davis, and Dennis Taylor. I actually remember watching that match as a child, but I digress.. During the documentary, the interviewer asked Stephen Hendry, and a few other great snooker players what they thought about the final, and who they were ‘rooting’ for to win. And what was interesting, was the theme of the conversations and general census, that WINNERS, and people who are used to winning on a consistent basis, always vote for other winners; they have no time for people who finish second, because their mentality has been honed, and trained over many years only to fill their subconscious mind with a pure, and winning mentality – Second best does not even enter the equation.

Running a business is no different, and you must make sure that you really are prepared to sacrifice what is necessary to go the full distance. If you are not prepared to sacrifice what is required to win, then I would say “GIVE UP NOW – AND DO IT QUICKLY”.

A bold statement, I am sure you would agree. But, think about it for a second, we are talking here about making hard cash; pure profit from a business-world populated by people who would think nothing of biting your right arm off, just to get a foothold in business; people who are so ruthless, that business is absolutely everything to them. Such people have been trained to seek out and destroy weak, and vulnerable competitors.

So are you saying it is too difficult to actually create a viable business?

NO. It is not ‘too’ difficult, but what must be understood, at least when starting a business in which the aim is to be a success, is that you must absolutely be prepared to sacrifice short-term pain, for long-term gain. That is a given, or just don’t start a business and expect to make any notable gains.

A few fundamentals, and mind-set changes, that must happen:

Very many people talk about price being the only factor that can make a sale. This is folly, and actually a very child-like view they place on business. If all that was required to make a profit, was to seek out the cheapest product, then we would all be millionaires, wouldn’t we? All you would have to do, is go down to your local beach and grab a few handfuls of sand, and sell each grain for 1 pence a pop.

I am being facetious, of course, but think about this for a minute. How many people would buy your grains of sand? Nobody; not even a sand fly would be interested. This must surely lead to the question, then, that you have to be promoting and selling a product, or service that somebody wants, and based on value? Agreed?

Ok, so then what we are really trying to say, is that we need to be promoting our ‘wares’ based on what potential customers want, and need? Understood, so then the difference between the people selling these ‘wares’ must be what separates the people who make profit, and people who don’t? And more importantly, what these people DO, is what separates them for the dreamers in society.

THAT is the basis of a successful business.

I would advise you to read that last paragraph again before going further, or even considering starting a business. As only then, will you begin to understand what is required to be a successful business owner.

You see, and going back to what was mentioned earlier, we live in an age where everything is handed to us on a plate – easy come, easy go – and the same can be said for all the online opportunities that are presented around the various avenues, and facets of the internet. Let’s be honest, there are very many sharks on the internet, offering what can only be described as rubbish, and for the very same reason I just explained – it is EASY to create such a business, and this on it’s own creates problems – and it could be a problem for you, too..

The point being made, is that due to the fact that it is all too easy to create a business; buy a website, start selling on eBay, and all the rest of the ‘businesses’ being offered, then it is all too easy, to start thinking that: “if everybody else is doing it, surely all I have to do is follow x,y and z, and I will be making money, too”

WRONG!!

And this is where the problems begin. You need to forget what everybody else is doing, and get down to raw, and hard facts. No matter how commerce is represented to you, the basics remain the same, you HAVE to generate value, and unique selling points in order to devise a viable, and sustainable business. You have to seek out ways, often using very many, painful man hours, just to keep your nose ahead of your competition.  Devise ways to increase revenue. Spend at least 2/3/4 hours per day researching new ways to attract business.

Important Question: If you spent 6 hours per day, in a white-hot burning desire, to find 100 new ways to attract business, then how far ahead of the competition do you think you would be at the end of the first week? the first month? the first year? How many of your possible competitors do you seriously think, spend endless hours looking for ways to generate extra profit; researching customer’s needs, wants, designing new marketing strategies, testing variables, and results, and implementing new ideas on pure instinct? Very few, I sure you would agree.

Therefore, do you now see, what I am trying to achieve here? I am trying to prick your consciousness to actually understand that you CAN achieve outstanding success, if you will only focus on what really matters, and forget most of the nonsense that is branded about, about what is the ‘best way to start a business’..

You must decide, that you really are prepared to sacrifice what is required to create the business you desire. Do that, and there is no reason why you will not be the very next internet millionaire – it is there for the taking – it really is – and the crazy thing about this situation, ladies and gentleman, is that your competition are making it easy for you – if only YOU decide that the sacrifice is worth the desired result. That is all it takes. The rest is just time.

It is a big sacrifice, when you look at the harsh reality of it. Endless hours of work, testing, working late into the evenings, or early mornings. Your spouse and loved ones must also be on your side, and share your ambitions and financial dreams, or you will not have the harmony required to get to second base. All these factors add up to just the start. THEN, once you have organised your priorities, and decided the sacrifice is worthwhile, does the hard work begin.

It is an enjoyable journey, and absolutely worthwhile; but it must be worthwhile to you, too. Only you, will be able to decide if you are prepared to give, what the business world, and natural progression, demands..

There is only one way – the right way, and with the right understanding of what is required.

Best of luck in whatever business you decide to start – and make sure you have enough reasons to want to make it happen. Without enough reasons, you will not develop the stamina, will power and sheer ruthlessness to make your financial dreams a reality.

My advice would be, to take a serious measure of time, to deciding on your commitment to the cause.

Make the right decisions, and for the right reasons, and you will know what is possible.

Take Care, and take positive action.

Computer Dropshipping

How many people now own a computer? 90+% of the modern world now has access to at least one computer, and printer. Surely it makes perfect sense to start a business in a market that can only go up? Computer Dropshipping is that business..

Ok, so you are obviously interested in the dropshipping industry, and what the business model of dropship can do for you. But, what product ranges should you be interested in? Think about this another way. Let’s imagine that you have a few hundred pounds left in your bank account, and you NEED to start a business that will give you the most potential. What product range would you think about using?

Computer Dropshipping almost encapsulates the perfect product range. Why? The reason being, that 90+% of the modern world has access to at least one personal computer. Most households have 2+ computers, and printers. Why does this equate to the perfect business, and product range? Well, consider the fact that computers are now a serious part of our life. Not just working life, but on a personal level, computers are now an essential part of living. Bold statement, but try switching off all your computer equipment for a week, your internet, and just assess the impact this will have on what has now become a way of life.

The Perfect Product Range – PC Dropshipping

The computer industry is only going to get stronger. Technology will actually force people to upgrade, educate, adjust and PURCHASE the very latest products, advancements, and speed acceptance that computer products are now bringing to the table.

As mentioned, consumers will now always need to buy replacement products, new monitors, increased memory as the latest games increase their PC’s resources. Hard drives that have the annoying habit of failing, graphics cards that need upgrading to keep up to date with the latest desktop publishing software, and much more.

If you can think of a single reason why using computer products are your core range of inventory, has any downsides, then we would be very surprised. Some PC products can be bulky, or awkward to ship, and this is where using the services of a computer dropshipper comes into it’s own, because no matter what products you sell, and what orders you receive, all the hard work of shipping is taken care for you, leaving you free to concentrate on make sales, and more importantly  – profits.

Very many reasons to start a Computer Business, Today.

Dropshipping Forums..

You have now found yourself being drawn to the great business model, known as dropshipping. A business model that the home business industry has been crying out for, for many a year.

No longer do you have to place Kleeneze, and Betterware magazines into people’s letterboxes, just to make £50 a week (although, I am sure many of their distributors earn much more). No, with the start of the internet revolution, there has been very many so-called ‘business opportunities’ that have been branded around, and brought to the table.

Let’s be honest, most of what you read on the internet about making money, and securing additional income, is absolute nonsense, and most written by people who themselves, have never run a serious business. All these people have done, is latched onto the fact that there is something ‘new’ happening – The Internet (or ‘tinterne’, as some refer to it).

Dropshipping is not new, and actually started in the United States many years ago; before being recognised in the UK, as a viable opportunity for many people looking for supplemental income. The main reason it has now entered the mainstream in the United Kingdom, is partly, because of the internet becoming so accessible to almost every house-hold.

eBay has also played a major role in creating the train that is dropshipping. Dropship suppliers suddenly started appearing all over the show (like people do, when they smell a trickle of cash – they decide to take a piece for themselves).

BUT, with so much competition, comes the responsibility of business owners to create unique selling points (USP’s) to differentiate themselves from everybody else – their competition. THIS is why, enlarge, forums, not just dropship forums, but forums in area industry, have started to appear in every Google search.

Forums can definitely help you. They can help you to become educated on a subject that you previously were not knowledgeable about. Of course all forums comes with their ‘clowns’; you know, people who ‘think’ they know something about every topic imaginable, but in reality, just like the sound of their own voices – we have all seen them ;-p

Although, such people also add to the light entertainment that forums can create – some would say, a community can also be created via forums. I personally think that there is no community in forums. Saying that, many people on forums, really do spend a large portion of their day, helping others on their chosen topic – In this instance: Dropshipping. Such people can be invaluable to your business research. All forums have a hardcore of key members who CAN help you. And these are the people you need to listen to.

what is dropshipping, need help?

In all seriousness, with such a popular business model, there will of course be pitfalls, and if you are new to this industry, then you will need a reliable source of information, to help with your research, as well as concrete your business plan.

As with any business you are looking to start, you need to begin with as many advantages as possible…

Dropshipping is not new, it has been around for very many years, although with the popularity of the internet, it has been brought to the forefront of the business opportunity world.

Is dropshipping viable?

Of course it is viable. Dropshipping is simply another form of mail order, which has always flourished, and will continue to do so. The difference with ‘dropshipping’ is that it is more business oriented. By this, I mean it has now become an actual ‘opportunity’ open to the masses.

With such exposure, comes the pitfalls that surrounds most popular vehicles. And THIS is where you may need the guidance and support – from people who are seasoned professionals in their field, and not just using the same old, re-hashed nonsense, that they themselves probably read about in a magazine on a train.

Dropshipping Help

No, think about this seriously. Dropshipping is about starting a business; YOU creating an online business that is going to be providing you income. It is a serious game.

Would you trust the care your children to people who have never had children themselves, strangers without any knowledge of the well-being of a child? Of course you wouldn’t. It would be crazy, right?

The same can be said for business. There will always be people who like to hear the sound of their own voices, and are quick to press their ill-judged opinions onto others – Without the experience, knowledge, or know-how to pass such important information. Forget that!

When dealing with a ‘commodity’ that is creating value for yourself, and your loved ones, you need to ensure that the information you decide to accept, has come from sources experienced enough to give such advice, and dropshipping is no different.

Adding video to websites

If you need evidence for this, then did you know that on some days youtube.com generates more clicks than Google? Amazing, but true. People love to watch videos – and so do consumers!

Allow us to give you a few pointers…There are many reasons why one would add video content to their website, or sales pages. The main one of course, being pure, unadulterated profit.

That’s right, if you run a website as a business, then there would of course be no point adding anything, unless it increases your conversions, sales, and profits.

Think shopping channels..

If you have never watched one of those shopping channels on sky, QVC for example, then I suggest you quickly scoot over there and have a quick gander at what is happening. The reason being, that such TV shopping channels give you the perfect example of why adding videos to your website business, can dramatically increase your sales – The simple fact is, that people really do love to be presented to.

A few reasons why adding video to your website is almost becoming a must:

1. Consumers are lazy!

Yes, that is a fact. If you have pages, up on pages of sales content on your website, then chances are, that unless you are a serious copywriter, who can grab the attention of your audience inside a few seconds, then you are missing out on a lot of potential buyers. Customers neither have the time, nor inclination to read through page, after page of content. So you WILL lose customers and quickly.

Adding video to your website combats this in a few ways. Currently, video on a website is unique, it has the novelty factor, and consumers would much rather click on a single ‘play’ button, than have to wade through pages of content to obtain the details to what you have to offer.

2. Video enhances the buying experience.

Think about it. A website, well 99% of websites you will come across, are as dull as dishwater, like watching paint dry. If you think this, then you can bet your bottom dollar that potential buyers will, too. Video creates a colourful, and human entry in to what you are offering.

3. Confidence factor.

By using videos, you are showing customers that you are real. Not just another faceless entity trying to take their money. Videoportays that you have taken the effort to show a potential customer why they should by from you. By using human interaction, via video content, you are also tapping into subconscious levels with your buyers; who will use such a medium to consciously switch off and turn the buying experience into a visual advantage – for you. People trust people – video shows people!

4. Increase your search engine rankings.

Yes, by adding video content to your website, will mean that just by the pure fact that something is unique (the video), that most buyers will not have seen before, will increase the chance of that particular visitor staying on your website. What does this mean to SEO rankings? Well, Google now determine the validity of a website, by the amount of time spent on your site. They call this the ‘bounce rate’.

If a visitor spends less than a couple of seconds on your website, then Google and the rest of the search engines, will deem your site as not really being of interest; and if enough visitors do the same, and click off quickly, then search engines will also very quickly listen to ‘their’ results, and class your website as not being of interest to the very people who are using their search facilities. Video creates ’stickability’ – thus keeps people on your website for longer – which in turn helps your search engine rankings.

Food for thought? Absolutely..

The internet is changing, and as has proven with TV, people would much rather ‘watch something’, than read something. It is a fact, and as video, including broadband video becomes much more accessible, then you will quickly see a majority of websites become more animated, rather than the current static state, you see today.

We anticipate, that inside 5 years, website video will have taken over, and become the ‘norm’ when advertising on the internet. You do not have to wait that long. You can take this information, use a little foresight, and capture your market using tried-and-tested methods, that have proven to create interest, and profits – video.

Dropship and Dropshipping directories are not new, although as with any industry it seems that some companies will try and take, or even make a whole business out of offering information that is already in the search engines. By this, we are meaning of course, the companies that compile information which has just been ’scraped off the internet’, and then who charge you a fee to access such free information. In this case, we are referring to dropshipping, dropship, and wholesale directories.

Now,  we have all seen such information being sold on the internet; in the form of directories, and is there anything wrong with that? Well, that is open to debate, but the simple fact is, that not everybody has the time, nor inclination to search for what they are seeking, and to find the quick solution, could be to pay a company, who state that they have already done the ‘ground work’.

This ‘ground work’ is nothing more than trailing the internet, and search engines and then cutting and pasting details into their ‘dropship/wholesale directory’.

There are of course, sources on the internet that offer these details for free. People, and companies who have taken the time and effort to compile valuable (search-specific-related) resources, which are not only usable, but valid to what you are looking for. Put simply, it saves you the time and effort of looking, researching, and spending hours trailing around looking for such details, and directories.
