Prelaunch Webinar Minutes – 23 Apr 09

AGENDA:

1. Remaining Setup Details
2. Locating Clients
3. Client Profile Changes
4. Comparative Market Research
5. Site Update
6. Link Demo
7. What’s Next

1.  Remaining Setup Details – Phil went over the steps of setting up the WP Forms Manager plugin with the proper info from our Aweber account.

He instructed that users must first create a list in Aweber.

Then, using the custom fields already entered into the WP Forms Manager plugin as a guide, create the same custom fields for that new list’s form in Aweber.

Once that is done, import both the list name and the form ID (found in the html source code of the form) into the appropriate fields in the WP Forms Manager plugin.

Finally, users must also ensure that the corresponding lead page number from their ALG account is entered into the appropriate field in the plugin.

In other words, it is the WP Forms Manager plugin that allows for sychronization of the three interfaces – ALG, Aweber and Wordpress.

So, completing the required fields completely and accurately is super-critical to the whole lead generation process!

2.  Locating Clients – If you haven’t tried it already, use Google maps to locate potential clients via geographical location.

3.  Client Profile Changes – Phil updated ALG to increase the amount of information users can input on clients.  New additional fields are regarding whether clients advertise on:
TV, Newspaper, Magazines, and/or PPC.

4.  Comparative Market Research – Research is being done on how dentists generate new patients and how much it costs them.  We want to use this data as a means to provide lead costing comparisons to potential clients.  Methods evaluated will include those listed above in item #3.

5.  Site Update – Phil went through and updated everyone’s blogs.  Also, the text on the optin forms is now customizable.

6.  Link Demo – Showed how a personalized email link looks before being sent and how it looks in the recipient’s email box.   It automatically passes-through specific information to the web page, making the page highly customized and personalized.

7.  What’s Next -

Prelaunch Webinar Minutes – 16 Apr 09

Agenda:
1. Adwords Editor & PPC Campaigns
2. Phil’s Rant & Thanks
3. What’s Next

1. Adwords Editor & PPC Campaigns – This was the main emphasis of the meeting.

There was no pre-meeting video, so Phil took us step-by-step through the process of setting up a PPC campaign.

This included instruction on how to use the free Adwords Editor software provided by Google.

The ability to create bulk campaigns, segregate them by individual keywords and ad groups and then bulk upload them to our Adwords accounts is a major advancement.

In fact, this is the equivalent of buying the $397 Speed PPC software.  Now, it’s built in to ALG.

More training to follow on this.

1. Pre-meeting Video – Was a demo of how to create custom fields in Aweber, which ones to create, how to import the correct list name and form number into the Wordpress Forms manager plugin and test it.

2.  Client Site Update – Todays meeting was a broad overview presentation of the whole system.  It was a slideshow with a lot of screenshots and connectors that showed how the whole system is laid out.

Phil began with the Client Site and showed the various functionalities in that part of the system.

Then the Blog was overviewed.  Both the lead capture as well as the content functionality was covered.

The final part of the overview covered the ALG and advertising side of the system.

3.  Phil’s Rant – Sorry about the delay. Thanks again for all the support.  Failure is not an option.  He said he’ll come to our houses and make us do this stuff if necessary.  Because too much time and effort has been put into it to not follow through and make it work for us.  So keep going and let’s be ready!

5 Simple Steps For Real-Time Lead Generation Via Social Marketing Sites

There are many effective approaches to using social marketing to grow your business. Social networks like MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Tagged, and the professionally oriented LinkedIn site are all the rage today.  Did you know Facebook is currently growing by 500,000 new users a day! 

When used properly, social networking sites can provide massive leverage to grow your business. Just think about how many of the 500,000 new Facebook users each and every day could be potential customers for your business. 

But for many people, social networking can also be a huge time sink if you don’t know how to connect the dots and have people in your social networks buying from you. You need to be careful and present your business in the appropriate way, without spamming or turning off your online friends, and potentially damaging your relationship with them forever. You’ve got to get them to know, like, and trust you before they will do business with you, especially on the internet.

We’re going to assume you’ve already chosen the appropriate social networks for your industry or business, opened your accounts, and established some friends.  What’s the next step?  One of the best ways to form a solid business relationship with your network and get more sales is to host an event. It can be a webinar, teleseminar, or in person event. If you live in a remote geographic area, it will be more difficult to get a big turnout for an in person event, but if you live in a populated area you can get a good turnout. The potential is huge for online events.

After you’ve picked the type of event, follow these 5 steps to get massive amounts of targeted, free real-time leads.

Step 1. A few weeks before the event write an online press release and submit it to a couple of free online press release sites like PRLog and PressAbout. Setup a google alert on the keywords in the press release. The keyword alert will tell you when your press release gets published. When the free online press release gets picked up, then go to paid online services like WebWire and PRWeb.

You should start getting free, targeted web traffic from the press releases and will be able to view statistics on how many times your press release was viewed and distributed.

Step 2. If you have a website or blog, write about the event on your site.  Take the blog entry and turn it into an article and post it on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.  Tweet about it on twitter. Then post your event on EventBrite.com.

Step 3. Tell all of your social marketing friends about the event, and ask them to share it with their friends.

Step 4. Create a short Powerpoint presentation about the content of your event and yourself. Post the slides at SlideShare.net with a transcript.

Step 5. Turn the Powerpoint presentation into a video and submit the video on YouTube and TubeMogul.

Make sure to send people to your social marketing site or blog page that tells a little bit about yourself.  Have people register for the event and send them an email reminder the day before the event and the day of the event.

Follow these 5 steps to generate free real-time leads, then provide valuable content at your event and you will be leveraging your time on social marketing sites into business sales, not just hanging out and having a good time.
