Engage Your Visitors with Online Articles

A colleague sent this to me, enjoy, good stuff!
• Engage Your Visitors with Online Articles •

Chances are, you are a wealth of information. Whatever your company does, you have personally amassed an incredible amount of information relevant to that field. It may surprise you when you sit down to make a list of some of the frequently asked questions you hear... questions that are so familiar by now that you could probably answer them in your sleep. Why not take a good portion of that information and turn it into a series of online articles?

There is nothing like free, valuable, relevant information to keep your website visitor coming back, again and again. Let’s say you’re a cleaning service, and you’ve decided to share cleaning tips with your site visitors. Isn’t it much more likely that they’ll bookmark your site, remember its name, and keep coming back to you? More often than not they’ll also tell their friends. You’ve just earned a loyal visitor.

By simply taking the information you already have, and generating it into a series of online articles (like the one you’re reading now), you can turn your website into a very valuable online resource. It’s not expensive, and it’s not particularly challenging. It just requires a good programmer to put that little system together, and your undivided attention writing those exquisitely useful articles.

A tip... as you’re writing them, keep the pushy sales information out. Your job is not to sell right now... it’s to inform, educate, and turn yourself into an essential resource and advocate for your future customer. Also, by inviting the public to comment at the bottom of each article, you’re establishing greater loyalty with each visitor, and an opportunity to share. Just be certain to require that each shared opinion be screened before actually posting it to your site. It’s remarkable how quickly spammers will try to jump into the mix on a busy site.
Great music & cause- Great combination!

Musicians Making Good - Cancer Research to Benefit from a Beautiful Song

Nashville, TN – (brotherjonMusic.com) – A new song titled “Can’t Hide Beautiful” is headed for the airwaves and is available for digital download via Amazon.com and iTunes with the intent of raising money for cancer research.  One Hundred Percent (100%) of the proceeds from online digital sales of the single will be generously donated to aid in cancer research.  Details of the specific recipient and or recipients are being finalized and will be announced shortly.

 

“Can’t Hide Beautiful” is a touching new song written by Country Music Duo brotherjon (Jon Coleman and Jon Nite) and Nashville guitarist C.M. Spriggs. The song came about while working on a different writing project, when Nite said “You Can’t Hide Beautiful” and Spriggs jumped on it instantly.  As it turns out, Spriggs’ wife is a cancer survivor, and her story of that battle is touched upon in the song.

brotherjon is extremely proud of this new song and felt an opportunity and an obligation to let this song help in so many ways.  As such, they have dedicated “Can’t Hide Beautiful” to cancer survivors and to those who have lost their battle with cancer as well as the friends, family, and loved ones touched by this devastating disease and they have committed One Hundred Percent (100%) of the proceeds from online digital sales of the single to assist in the fight against cancer.
