Nail Down Your Keywords

I want to ask you a few questions:

• How are people finding you online?
• What are they typing in Google that leads to your site?
• What keywords should you use to attract even more people?
• How many others are competing for the same keyphrases?

If you answered “I don’t know” to any of these questions, you’ll want to read this post!

I have 30 Day Challenge on the brain. In today’s marketing tip, I’ll show you a free tool to ensure the people searching for your services on the web find you — which is what SEO is all about!

If you’re NOT doing the 30 Day Challenge, you’re missing out on an entire month of training on internet and niche marketing — for free. There’s absolutely no catch. Ed Dale and his team are on a mission to teach everyday people how to make their first dollar online, without spending a dime.

You can go at your own pace. [Case in point: I'm only on training day 5!]

Market Samurai is the free tool I referred to in the introduction. It’s a powerful internet marketing software that was first introduced during last year’s 30 Day Challenge.

The guys at Noble Samurai are offering a free, no strings attached 40-day trial for 30DC participants.

It’s worth signing up for the 30DC just for Market Samurai. Within those 40 days you can play with it to drill down and discover the keyphrases that will increase targeted traffic to your site — those people who are specifically looking for what you offer.

I won’t explain how to use Market Samurai, since the 30DC training videos do a much better job than I ever could. You only need to view training videos of days 2, 3, 4 and 5 for step-by-step instructions on how to easily find your keywords.

A word of warning: Market Samurai is VERY addictive.
Once you start, you’ll have trouble stopping!!

I hope you found today’s tip useful. I know it’ll make a difference in building your VA business’ online visibility!

Let me know how you do with this week’s marketing assignment.

Have a great week!
