Information Marketing and FreeIQ.com
11 Reasons why FreeIQ should be on the radar of every information marketer.
- Hosting of your free and paid content. Load up your free credibility building video and audio clips. Let people get a taste of your capabilities. Load as much as you want for the world to see. The goal is that when they see the stuff you are giving away for free, they'll be thinking. "wow, if that's the free stuff, the paid content must be amazing." So don't skimp on the free stuff. Give useful, valuable information and the sales should follow. If you make it a big pitch for the secrets behind door number two, you likely won't do very well.
- Built in payment processing / checkout.
- Built in delivery of your paid content as long as it is downloadable. You can still sell products that need to be shipped or delivered in other formats too. Offer your information for sale. ebooks, dvd's, home study courses, consulting, teleseminars, seminars, coaching programs, etc.
- Free profile or sales page. Your online resume with links to your free and "for sale" content.
- The ability to tag your content with the keywords that make sense to you.
- No search engine optimization necessary. Users get to rate your content. This visitor voting combined with how long people watch your video's determines who shows up on top of the search results. This clearly allows the best content to rise to the top.
- Opt in's will be allowed. If you want to capture a prospect, go for it. Put your subscribe form right on your "about me" page.
- Traffic - lots of it and it's all free. Once you information marketers start loading the site with content and begin promoting their own stuff, it's only a matter of time before the entire site ranks well and starts getting flooded with tons of traffic.
- Make money selling your own stuff.
- Make money as an affiliate selling other peoples stuff.
- Make money bringing traffic to the site. Get paid if your referred visitor buys anything from anyone for a year.
