Many of you by now will have heard of Hubpages. Fast becoming one of the superstars of the social networking arena. Personally, I find this much easier to use than Myspace or Squidoo.
The ranking on Google is so quick you barely have time to have a cuppa after completing your ‘hub‘ before it’s been indexed!
Anyway, I’ve started putting up a few ‘Newbie‘ guides on there because it’s so quick and easy to do. You may want to check them out.
While you’re there, get yourself signed up and create some hubs of your own. Totally free, very user friendly, and lots of social networking traffic to your own site. For those of you who are interested, it’s also great for SEO.
Check out my ‘hub’ on The Newbies Guide to Keywords. Simple, plain, no technical jargon.
Hubs are best kept this way - plain and simple. Remember, this is a Social Networking site. While some of the members may be interested in the technical, in depth aspects of Internet Marketing, the majority of them are not.
Never forget the target market you are working with. Create your hubs properly, provide useful, useable, information, and they will easily be found, not only on Hubpages but also on the search engines.
Social Networking is becoming the number one method used by many of the Internet’s top marketing experts.
Why?
Because it works so well. It opens up a whole new target group to your opportunity. Which is why you want to keep your hubs interesting. If they’re full of techno-babble, the ‘newbies‘ will turn off. Not because they’re dumb. But because they don’t understand what the heck you’re talking about.
However, by keeping it simple and making it easy for the newest of ‘newbies’ to understand you’ll gain a much higher audience which isn’t just restricted to more experienced marketers. As the inexperienced become more experienced, use your profile to direct them to your own website, business opportunity, product… But only when they’re ready.
Do not try to rush a ‘newbie’ into anything. At best, you’ll end up with someone who is so inexperienced that they can’t implement any of your training. But more likely, you’ll just end up with nobody joining you because your hubs are too ‘boring‘. And trust me, if you’re in marketing, boring is NOT a word you want associated with You.inc
Get out there and get Hubbing people.
To Your Success
