How to get free traffic to my online shop of souvenirs and gifts without spam?


Seven is a magic number. Why? Because there are seven simple strategies every small business can employ to jump on the social marketing bandwagon. The best part: most require only a moderate investment of time and/or money.

1.Start Blogging – Blogging is old news to many. Not quite the distant past, but still not the future…sort of a Web 1.5. Is blogging what’s ‘hot’ at the moment? Well, no. It certainly doesn’t compare with chasing a link from the front page of Digg. But blogging is alive and well! It continues to be a great way to get interactively connected with your customers. ‘Dialoguing’ is the reason social marketing exists. How much time you invest in your blog is up to you, but you’ll get out what you put in. You don’t have to drive yourself crazy putting in daily entries, but you should establish a regular schedule for your blog updates. Otherwise, when people check your blog they’ll see the same-old/same-old so often that they’ll stop visiting your site…which is the whole reason you started the blog! So don’t shoot yourself in the foot by creating a blog that’s a visitor-repellent rather than a visitor-magnet.

Blogging is not a monologue. Your blog is not the electronic equivalent of Hamlet’s soliloquy. Just the opposite! Blogging is about creating conversations and joining others in progress. Take time to read what others in your industry are saying. Get in on the discussion (and get your name out there) by posting your comments on other blogs. It’s free, and again, the amount of time you invest can bring some very big returns. The beauty of blog posts is that you’ll almost always be encouraged to supply your name and URL when leaving a comment. This is a great way to build visibility and create a springboard to catapult traffic from other blogs to yours.

2. Take and Share Digital Photos – Flickr can be a tremendous marketing tool thanks to its incredibly active photo groups. The time and cost investment are minimal, and you can use Flickr to reach thousands of highly targeted prospects with compelling images of your product.

3. Be The Answer Man (or Woman) at Yahoo Answers – There’s one thing you have to offer that no one else does – your expertise. If you’re a service-based business, your knowledge is your #1 marketing tool. Yahoo Answers is a great place for you to hammer away at prospects. Imagine being the go-to person that people seek out. That’s who you’ll be at Yahoo Answers.

There’s no better way to share your expertise and make an instant and direct connection with potential customers. I know dozens of marketing pros like me who spent as little as an hour or two each week answering SEO and promotion-oriented questions there. They tell me that they’ve been able to track big results from even that small investment of time.

4. Get Into the Movie Business – Pictures may be worth a thousand words, but moving pictures are worth their weight in solid gold marketing. Fortunately, good video cameras are cheap these days, and a short video needs little editing/production work in today’s “everyone’s a filmmaker” environment. And if you’ve got the creative “chops” to add some sizzle to a video, go for it! Be the next Scorsese, if you can. Fortunately, the software you need to add special effects won’t break the bank. The most “viral” videos are usually spontaneous and unproduced…merely “captured” by a videographer. For marketing purposes, however, a produced video is the way to go… and a how-to video featuring your product is a good choice. If the look or location of your business is a selling point, “tour” videos –of a workplace, a restaurant, the homes you sell, the real estate you landscape, etc. – are your best bet.

Marketing videos are finding a home on local search portals like CitySearch. The find-it-in-your-town site announced that local video ads will be added to its listings. YellowPages.com is also exploring the idea of video opportunities.

Upload your videos to a unique page on your own website or add them to your blog page. But don’t stop there! YouTube is the most obvious ─ and the most active ─ sharing destination. And there are so many others. Just nose around the web and you’ll find ‘em.

5. Don’t Wait To Visit StumbleUpon.com – There are many so-called ‘discovery’ type sites in social marketing. The best-known are Digg, Reddit, and Netscape, but they’re also a bit complicated. StumbleUpon requires the lowest time investment. The site’s functionality makes it much quicker and easier to join groups related to your industry and add friends from those groups.

Once you’ve joined and created your lists, you can start to upload “sticky” (appealing to visitors) content and before you know it, other users will “stumble upon” what you’ve added. That’s when the “magic begins”. When visitors give your pages good feedback, your content is shown to even more users.

You can’t sell your product or service on StumbleUpon. The benefit it offers is increa

Does your tax adviser know how to maximize Home-Office Deductions?

If you are a small business owner and use your part of your home for business use, you may deduct home office expenses when you file your tax return. The question you may have is probably: How do I calculate it? What are the method(s) allowed by the IRS? Well, you need to know the IRS rules and have practical tax strategies.

According to the IRS publication: “You can use any reasonable method to determine the business percentage” of your home that you use for business. - IRS Pub. 587, Business Use of Your Home (2009), p. 6.

The publication then lists two commonly used reasonable methods:

1. Gross square footage method: Divide the area used for business by the total area of your home.

2. Number of rooms method: If the rooms in your home are all about the same size, you can divide the number of rooms used for business by the total number of rooms in your home.

But when you look at IRS Form 8829, it shows only the gross-square-footage method as an option. This conflicts with the IRS instructions and its publication.

As a matter of fact, there is a third method commonly known as the net-square-footage method. In your calculation, you probably should consider using this method to maximize your home office deductions.

Now what is net-square-footage method?

The net-square-footage method is used in cost accounting. With this method, you subtract from the gross square footage the footage consumed by: outside walls, hallways, bathrooms, stairways, foyers, water heaters, and the heating and cooling equipment.

 The result is your net usable square feet. This method reduces the denominator in your calculations and increases the business percentage.

  As promulgated by the Cost Accounting Standards Board and in commercial real estate, the net-square-footage method is commonly used in cost accounting standards.

Government grants and contracts are governed by cost accounting standards. In its cost disclosure statement to the government for its government grants, the University of Delaware uses assignable net square footage to allocate its operations and maintenance pool, which it describes as follows:

 Assignable Net Square Footage. This represents the assignable net square footage of each room. The total assignable net square footage of a building is the sum of all assignable net square feet from all rooms in each particular building.

Taking the square footage of each room in total produces the same result as excluding the hallways, bathrooms, etc.

The University of New Hampshire also uses net square footage to allocate its facility service costs. The university defines net square footage as gross square footage minus common areas such as halls, bathrooms, stairways, and foyers.

Following is an example that we can see all the three methods and compare the results. Let’s say this home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, and a family room (eight rooms—you don’t include the bathrooms).

The outside dimensions of this home measure 2,200 square feet. When you exclude the common areas, you find 1,800 net square feet. Your office occupies a room that measures 250 square feet.

 Here’s a comparison of the three methods:

 Method

Numerator

Denominator

Percentage

Gross square footage

250

2,200

11.36%

Number of rooms

1

8

12.5%

Net square footage

250

1,800

13.88%

 If you just used IRS Form 8829 and simply made the computations using the form for the above home, you would have a 11.36 percent deduction.

In this example, you end up with a 10 percent greater home-office deduction with the number-of-rooms method.

Yet the net-square-footage method would give you greater deductions than both other methods in this example. Compared with the gross method, the net-square-footage method produces a 22 percent increase in the home-office deduction.

 The increase means you now deduct 22 percent more of your:

  •  mortgage interest;
  • property taxes;
  • utilities;
  • insurance;
  • rent (if you are renting your home);
  • pest control;
  • maintenance and repairs; and
  • depreciation.

 Conclusion:

If you claim a deduction for an office in your home and you would like to increase the size of that deduction, you need to seriously consider both the number-of-rooms and the net-square-footage methods.

The net-square-footage method will always be better than the gross-square-footage method.

The number-of-rooms method can beat the other methods in the right circumstances.

Make sure that you get theoptimum deduction. Do the little calculation that it takes to see the best result.
