			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the rise in profits of online businesses, more and more people are setting up online stores. Setting up an ecommerce store can be very difficult if you are doing it for the first time, but once you have done it you can easily do it again.</p>
<p><span id="more-1079"></span></p>

<p>The following is our guide to setting up an ecommerce store. If followed properly with utmost attention there is no chance of a problem occurring.</p>
<ol>
<li>First of all, you need to design a website. Find a software house or company which expertise in making ecommerce store websites. Give them your requirements and ask for their demands. Search a few companies in the market to help you lower costs. When you have decided which company to take forward, create a proper document which contains all your requirements and the quoted price and get it signed by the company to avoid any problems later.</li>
<li>Once you know that your design is on its way, you should start looking for a web hosting service. You could have asked the designing company to help you but it would be better if you go for a specialist in every aspect of development. There are thousands of web hosting services, but you have to look for the best ones. This part is simple; you just have to visit their websites and get rates and compare them.</li>
<li>Now that have taken care of the website design and deployment, look for a suitable ecommerce platform. An ecommerce platform could prove to be the difference between the success and failure of your e-store. A good ecommerce platform provides your customers with exceptional facilities such as one click check out service, several payment options, integrated postal services, and other services. There is much more to an ecommerce platform than people think, it is the backbone of your e-store.</li>
<li>Now be patient and let the people do their work. Do not force them to hurry as it could lead to potential problems which could risk a further delay in the launch of your website.</li>
<li>Now that your business is ready to go, you need some marketing. However marketing an e-store is not easy for a newbie. You need to search for companies offering search engine optimization services. These companies optimize your website in the search engine rankings and bring traffic to your website. They help spread the links of your websites on different forums and pages to lure as much traffic as they possibly can.</li>
<li>Another thing you must do is have relevant and quality content on your website. The new Google page rank algorithm (launched in June 2011) requires that your webpage contains necessary things, ones which are required by customers. It has been removed for now but could return later. So if your page lacks such content than you should forget about having good traffic.</li>
</ol>
<blockquote><p>If you follow the above mentioned steps carefully, your e-store will be up and running within weeks and within a few months, your business will be booming.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online social networking has truly evolved. With the popularity of Facebook, consumers and businesses now have an effective and useful portal where they could learn from and interact with each other. Of course, it helps that Facebook tries to establish a more personalized relationship among its users.</p>
<p><span id="more-846"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<p>Offers like $90 hotels or $10 flights could sound just too good to be true. But you would be surprised that they are now actually offered and provided through Facebook. That is why if you still do not have an account in the social network, now is the time you set up your own Facebook page.</p>
<p>Most businesses today have online presences. Local and international companies make it a point to set up their own Facebook accounts. This is not surprising since online social media could be an effective marketing tool. As a consumer and online social media networker, you could opt to take advantage of the influx of <strong>businesses in Facebook</strong>. Here are some tips on how you could find and obtain great deals from the most popular social media network.</p>
<h3><strong>Where to start</strong></h3>
<p>As mentioned, almost all companies in various industries (especially travel and retail) are on Facebook. If you already have an account in the social networking site, you could start searching for WebPages of different companies. On such pages, you should click on the ‘Like’ buttons. By doing so, you would be included in the regular recipients of such businesses’ email alerts and discount announcements.</p>
<p>You may also opt to ‘like’ key industry players. If you know a popular columnist or expert in retail or travel, send friend invitations or ‘like’ their <strong>Facebook pages</strong>. Many companies use such personalities to make announcements for discounts, coupons, promos, or other perks.</p>
<h3><strong>Proper timing</strong></h3>
<p>Do not expect to find great deals from the businesses you are following right away. It may take some time before they offer promos, discounts, and other perks. Try to take note of different patterns. For instance, a budget carrier may announce low-fare tickets every Wednesday morning, when travelers do not usually schedule flights to specific destinations.</p>
<p>Regularly check out Facebook announcements of retailers about scheduled sale or discount promos. You could get updated to the latest schedules of discount and clearing sale. Some businesses now do not advertise such events through traditional media so it is advantageous to be a regular on the loop within Facebook.</p>
<h3><strong>Find other perks</strong></h3>
<p>Use <strong>Facebook</strong> to reach companies’ customer service personnel. Now, you could use social media to air complaints or ask questions to companies. If you need assistance, you may use Facebook to request one. You would be surprised that many companies offer other perks and incentives online just to make up for their possible operational shortcomings.</p>
<p>However, always strive harder to become and remain a responsible Facebook user. Do not abuse the convenience and freedom accorded to users of such social media sites. Use it to get updated on latest offers from businesses or to make inquiries real-time. Try to resist the temptation to use it for blackmailing and spreading unfounded rumors and hearsays. Also resolve not to use Facebook to defraud anyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s happening, it’s now and it’s here to stay. That being said,<strong> digital marketing</strong> is an avenue which leads to the next marketing highway. So be it a startup business, medium sized, multi-national or a corporation, digital marketing is for anyone who wants value for money and optimum utilization for their budgets.</p>
<h1>What is a Startup Business?</h1>
<p>Is the first question that comes mind. Clearly startup most startups have one thing in common limited financial resources, and the sincere will to spend wisely in order to get the proverbial &#8220;bang for the buck. Considering that, it would be pertinent to direct marketing efforts towards a more focused audience rather than a fragmented one. In order to do that we need to learn the media usage and business habits of the audience we wish to target.</p>

<p>If the product or service relates to the segment which uses the internet then digital should be the driving force behind the marketing efforts. Now we arrive to the next question of what can be done given the limited finances to achieve maximum results. What are the various ways the digital medium can be used for achieving goals and meeting business objectives?</p>
<p><strong>Digital marketing</strong> can be done through various means and can be tailored to meet big budgets as well as small.</p>
<p>To understand how to allocate budget wisely it’s important to understand the following:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-223" title="Digital Marketing" src="http://www.techmug.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/OwnedMedia.gif" alt="Digital Marketing for Start Ups" width="600" height="327" /></p>
<p>Once the above is understood marketers can evaluate and allocate budget accordingly.</p>
<h1>An example of a startup business doing effective digital marketing</h1>
<p>As the Marketing Manager I had less than $100,000 to spend on media for a consumer product with distribution in 50,000 consumer outlets. Instead of spreading those dollars among the 25 websites in the category with little or no effectiveness, I bought year-round advertising in just two. To the readers of those two websites, we looked like a major national brand. As the company&#8217;s sales grew, the budget expanded, and we were able to add other websites and communications channels.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Twitter is a fantastic and revolutionary web service of modern IT world. You must have seen <strong>&#8216;Recent Tweets</strong>&#8216; section across the web. Twitter is enjoying a huge user base which includes not only general internet users but also businesses. They are busy in tweeting all the day. Businesses use twitter to engage with customers while some other users have found many ways to <strong>make money</strong> from their twitter accounts.</p>
<p>There is always a question attach with twitter: can it generate revenue? If so, how? Although we do not see any clear revenue model from twitter yet but there is buzz of <a href="http://social.venturebeat.com/2010/04/12/twitter-ad-model/" target="_blank">&#8216;Promoted Tweets&#8217;</a> now a days.</p>
<p><span id="more-101"></span></p>
<h2>One more way to monetize</h2>
<p>When I was thinking that how twitter can make money, I came across an idea of displaying ads on twitter. I&#8217;ve noticed that there is a great percentage of tweets having a link in them. These links are shorten using <a title="bit.ly" href="http://bit.ly" target="_self">bit.ly</a>. Twitter can us these links effectively to display ads to users.</p>
<p>Idea is simple enough, display an Ad when user clicks on link attached in the tweet. There will be a skip link while displaying Ad. To avoid the user irritation, there is a possibility of displaying an Ad after a specific counter e.g; Ad will be displayed after every 10th click by same user.</p>
