5 Internet Marketing Strategies You Can Do in Ten Minutes

Unlike hospitality or retail, internet marketing is not an industry for those who need instant gratification. Everybody is vying for top Google results with SEO, and that means that it is going to take a lot of time to get those valuable top 10 positions. However, as turtle-like as internet marketing can sometimes seem, there are plenty of things you can do in ten minutes or less, that will help your search engine rankings. Today we go through 7 of them.

Now that's fast SEO!

1. Answering Twitter questions

   Set up an alert through any one of the Twitter companion programs for questions with keywords related to your industry. When you see someone ask a question about either your industry, or your brand specifically, answer them! This really makes your customers feel cared for, encourages them to visit, pushes up your Google ranking…

2. Write a case study

   Information from experts is in short supply on the web. Knock out a case study for recent clients of yours, such as a Client offering perfume, and note how you solved problems for them. Provide real, useful information and people will not only visit and link to you, they might even hire you.

3. Create a narrow ‘How-to’ article

   The big, long and in-depth ‘how-to’ articles are more than a ten minute job. However, people want the answers to all sorts of small questions – they don’t always want to have to read through ‘The Ultimate Guide’ to solve a problem.

4. Google Hot Trends

   Use Google Hot Trends to decide what to tweet and blog about
   Of course, it will still have to be related to your industry – but Google Hot Trends shows what the buzz is about, right at this very second. If you can link a news item or issue to your content, the traffic possibilities are enormous.

5. Check your page speed

   Google Webmaster Tools lets you see how fast or slow your site is. And Google has hinted that page speed will become an ever-more important factor in ranking … so make sure you know where you stand.
