When you were a kid, did you ever participate in a magazine drive selling magazine gift subscriptions?

Well, today you can still get great deals on magazine subscriptions, without waiting for the neighbor kids to come around selling. I remember selling magazines of all sorts, from Golf magazine subscriptions for the girl next door’s dad to News magazine subscriptions for the newspaper editor on the other side of us.

The great thing about magazines is they form a much more permanent record of what’s important to people and what’s going on in current events than do newspapers. Haven’t you ever known someone who subscribed to National Geographic magazine subscriptions who had an entire garage full of their back issues? Such “saveable” magazines become a great part of your library for years to come. Of course, you don’t save all magazines. Weeklies such as Newsweek magazine subscriptions and Forbes magazine subscriptions serve a different purpose.

While newspapers and blogs give you up-to-the-minute breaking news, weekly news magazine subscriptions provide you with news digested and evaluated in a more leisurely and thoughtful fashion. Magazines like Time and World give you not simply reporting, but analysis and comparison of current events, helping you stay not merely informed, but educated. And where would any discussion of gift magazine subscriptions be without pointing out the great numbers of hobby and entertainment magazines available? One of the most popular new hobby magazines is MAKE magazine subscriptions. MAKE gives detailed how-to instructions showing how to make everything from didgeridoos to electronic fireflies to miniature blast furnaces. MAKE magazine subscriptions are perfect gift magazine subscriptions for the inveterate do-it-yourselfers and hobbyists in your life.

Here’s a starting question: do you think it is easier to sell a product or service like a magazine subscription to a complete stranger or to a person you have had contact before? The mechanism for delivering the sale approach could be an email conversation, a forum participation or even an existing customer relationship (i.e. He has bought something from you). In all cases, the question remains the same, which approach is easier to close the subscription sale?  I suppose part of this question could take a diversion by asking in a parallel way whether it depends on the type of person or business being targeted with the offer. I mean would your answer vary if you were selling a discount subscription to a student who is mostly price conscious or you were selling a magazine subscription service to a business or corporate customer. Or what if you were selling to  company library or a school library for a public high school. And this question really applies to any industry, product or service. Would it be easier if you had an existing relationship? Could this question be any more rhetorical? Of course it would be easier. Clearly, it would be harder to sell to a total stranger who does not know whether or not you are an honest seller, and whether or not they should trust your words and believe that your product or services will truly benefit them.  This is one of the premier reasons that “credibility factors” are one of the key drivers of increasing sales conversion ratios. These factors can be awards you display on your site or other validation type icons – even credit card seals which let consumer and corporate (subscribers  in our case) know that they can subscribe online with a credit card or even an echeck if you accept it, like Paypal.

As more and more people start their own home based businesses online, the market is going to get more and more saturated and the competition will grow fiercer by the minute. The fastest, most effective and easiest way to build your own online business empire is through joint ventures. In the same way that this magazine subscription service wants to team up with a marketing partner who can distribute the magazine savings offers to all types of customers like libraries, students, businesses, individuals and consumer subscribers other businesses will have to try to do the same thing to promote their own businesses.

That is, join forces with other marketers to sell your product. We’ve been doing it with magazine subscriptions for years and you can do it with your own products. They key as always is finding a good “distribution” partner.
When you joint venture with another marketer, you can ask him (or her) to send an endorsement of your product to his existing mailing list, so you do not need to worry about collecting subscribers from scratch. You already have an easily accessible target market. The trick is to find the right marketer whose subscribers will be interested in your product. Once you achieve that, you won’t even have to worry about generating traffic to your salesletter or finding affiliates to promote your product. All of that is already done for you.  When you joint venture with a solid player in the field, your perceived value and reputation will instantly increase because if this well-known person in the field is willing to work with you as a team, you must have some substance! Hence, when you manage to hook up a joint venture with someone who’s a “regular player” in your niche market, your status will instantly change from “total newbie” to “guru status” overnight!  

Last but definitely not least, you will get a chance to build a lasting relationship with a big figure in your niche market, and that alone will worth more than the profits you pull in over that single Joint Venture. When you have a dominant figure in the market as your friend, you will gain a lot of privileges and perks that no newbie like you could ever get their hands on – for example new insights into interesting product ideas and marketing strategies. You can’t even buy that for hard cash! So, start looking up a potential Joint Venture partner and try your best to convince him or her to strike up a deal with you! If we can do it for gift subscriptions and business subscriptions, you can do it too.

Let’s imagine a situation where we have two Internet ecommerce oriented companies who know of each other. One has a great product that will sell very well but he has no mailing list, no affiliates, nothing. Let’s call this the magazine subscription service with killer prices and cheap disounts. This company knows it can sell magazines to corporate customers, students looking for educator discounts, businesses with reception areas and waiting rooms or even individual consumers who want gift subscriptions or just a way to renew subscriptions each year. But this company has a big problem.

The other company is more of a great marketer with tens of thousands of subscribers in his mailing list, but the problem is he has nothing to sell to them. The most obvious solution here is to make bridge between the first and second company like a Reese’ Pieces snack bar and  give the product to the great marketer with lots of contacts, so that he can market the magazines to his list and split the profits with the magazine company according to some formula of profit sharing they work out. This bridge making is the very essence of Joint Ventures.  

In our case, whether we are selling to school libraries or company reception rooms or waiting areas, anyone that can facilitate our ability to open the door to more business is someone we want to talk to. In the world of search engine optimization, you can think of these bridge type of relationships as incoming links into your main site. In an slightly indirect form affiliates are one form of joint venture marketing where you get not only a “lead” as a visitor is transported from the “list owner” to the product provider, but you also gain search engine rankings each time you sign on another linking partner.

One of the wild cards in optimizing your site for Google as opposed to the other search engines – and remember this whole notion of optimization on one hand is not at all about tricks (think whitehat or blackhat) but about informing the search engine to the best of your ability and in the best possible way you’re your site is about. So in our case since we sell magazine subscription services to a variety of customers at cheap or discount prices, we’ve got to make sure the searh engines know that this is what we do.

 
It’s a great paradox because on one side you don’t want to be appear too eager because then it looks like you are “over-optimizing” your site. At the same time though you do want to be sure the search engines get the whole picture concerning what you do. So we want the engines to know we sell to libraries just as much as we sell subscriptions to individuals looking to buy a gift subscription for Christmas or a birthday.

 
One of the wildcard tactics in this whole SEO process is whether adding Google Adsense to your pages will help. The notion is that if the Adsense code is on your page it will force Google to index your page every time it loads and therefore the chance is greater that your page is spidered and included more optimally in search results for related content keyword queries.

 
It is debatable whether adding Google sense helps your site get ranked in Google. Since it doesn’t seem to hurt results, here are some thoughts to consider. 

• One ad somewhere small and at bottom
• Get an application at: https://www.google.com/adsense
• Use Google Ads at the bottom of pages.
• Make them blend into site design.
• See AdSense type layouts in Exhibit P
• Google claims the most effective sizes for click-throughs are
  • 326×280
  • 300×250 (inline rectangle)
  • 160×600 (wide skyscraper)

While I’ve been talking about what you do in a static sense as you create web pages around your keyword rich concepts like magazine subscription services that are cheaper or more discounted than other services, the question is how often you update your content.

If you don’t talk about new services like the fact that you sell magazines to libraries or subscriptions to students at educator discounts, or the fact that businesses can order magazines at low prices, why would anyone come back to your site?

Fresh Updated Content

Every week, content needs to be updated so search engines think you are still relevant and hence worth ranking higher than your competitors (who may have more stale content). The easiest way to do this is to change part of your home page content every week. Another additional technique is to change one sub page article every other week that links from the home page.

There are a variety of software options to help automate this task. Be aware though that the primary problem with these automated solutions is that they use duplicate content from other sites and you run the risk that the search engines won’t value your content as highly as if it were unique. Here are 4 examples:

1. Pull Rss Feeds using software like RSS Equalizer, Power RSS

2. Add RSS Feeds with keywords related to sites theme

• http://www.feedster.com
• http://www.completerss.com
• http://www.RSSInsane.com

3. Article Scraping (pulls articles from other article repositories)

• http://www.authoritysitecenter.com
• Site Builder Pro
• Article Post Robot

 
4. Another site that gives you free content might include Emediawire.com

There are just a few more areas to cover with on-page optimization specifically related to the content on a web page. So while we’ve reviewed the primary steps we took to optimize MagMall for magazine subscription services related keywords like cheap magazines or discount subscriptions, there are a couple items to take note of when you start expanding your efforts towards secondary keywords like library subscription services or corporate magazine services.

The first item relates to insert keywords into comments tags.

Comment Tags:

It is debatable whether to put keyword rich content inside comment tags. If you do, the rules are just like everywhere else. Don’t stuff keywords and don’t go overboard. Just do it as naturally as you can.

The structure of a comment tag is <! — keyword rich text here –>

As an example, a keyword oriented comment could look like:

<! Magazine subscription service –>

Keyword Stemming:

This refers to the process of enhancing your keywords with different suffix and prefix extensions. A search with the keyword “cheap” might return results for, “cheaper” and “cheapest” so you want to have those keywords in your content too by sprinkling the longer version of keywords throughout your page.

As well, if the keyword phrase is “Shopping Cart Software”, you would want to sprinkle “Shopping”, “Cart”, & “Software” individually throughout the page.

Stop Gap Words:

Avoid these unnecessary words as much as possible when writing content for the site: a, about, above, across, after, again, against, air, all, almost, along, also, always, an, and, animals, another, answer, any, are, around, as, asked, at, away, back, be, because, been, before, began, being, below, best, better, between, big, both, boy, boys, but, by, called, came, can, change, children, city, come, could, country, day, days, did, different, do, does, don’t, down, during… etc.
