Key marketing strategies that work with Task Notice
Selling an A-grade online software such as task Notice is quite different to selling ebooks or other membership sites. Firstly, you don't need to convince the potential visitor as to how good Task Notice is...as they can access the demo at our site in under 3 seconds. This is very different to selling an ebook where they cannot 'test drive' the product without first paying.
Secondly, Task Notice's target markets are organizations and businesses. The decision makers in such cases are used to spending money for their organization. But they'll only spend money when they see real value and benefits. And the best way to sell the benefits and value of Task Notice is to get these decision makers to actually use our software. No amount of 'telling' them will be as powerful as getting them to task notice for an instant test drive. This is different to selling ebooks where you really have to tell potential clients of the benefits and value as there is no way for them to see these values without first paying.
Confused? Don't be, as we've come up with a simple and easy 2-step process for selling Task Notice subscriptions. We've incorporated these steps into all tools listed at this page. We're only mentioning the steps here so you understand the main strategy behind promoting Task Notice.
Step #1 - very brief pre-sell
Before we tell visitors to visit Task Notice, we need to give them reasons as to why they should click on your affiliate link. Here are the 5 strongest selling points for Task Notice:
- What is it? Online Intranet (strongest appeal), Online Task Management (very good appeal), Online Collaboration Tool (good appeal), Online Project Management Tool (average appeal)
- How easy it is to use? Master it in 7 minutes
- Who is it for? Organizations/businesses with up to 50 People
- Give some key features? Tasks, Messages, Private Mail, Reminders, Contacts, etc
- What's the main offer? Free trial & instant demo
Step #2 - get them to visit Task Notice
After the very brief pre-sell, you simply present the visitor with your affiliate link. The key selling points self-qualifies the visitor and once he/she is at Task Notice, the site does the rest of the selling for you.
The #1 reason why most people do not want to use a new software is due to the amount of learning that may be required to figure out how to use it. Task Notice has successfully eliminated this barrier.
Now that you understand how to approach promoting Task Notice, let's jump straight into the various pre-done tools we've created for your use.
There are five main ways to promote Task Notice with Google AdWords or any other pay-per-click program. We've targeted all our ads and keywords to fit within AdWords requirements as it is the dominant force in this market. But there are two others with significant enough market share making them really worthwhile. Here are the three major pay-per-click search engines you should use:
- Google Adwords
- Yahoo Advertising
- Microsoft Advertising (main search engine is Bing)
Task Notice can be promoted as either an online Intranet, online task management tool, online collaboration tool, an online project management tool or as a direct competitor to basecamphq.com, backpackit.com, centraldesktop.com, deskaway.com, hyperoffice.com & zoho.com/projects (these are the major online Task Notice competitors). The reason why Task Notice can be promoted in five different ways is because it has many features that nicely fit into the Intranet, task management, collaboration & project management categories.
However, Task Notice's features will appeal the MOST to the Online Intranet & Online Task Management markets. But that doesn't mean you cannot promote it as an online collaboration tool or an online project management tool. It simply means that we have to laser-target our promotions to people looking for a specific solution. Below are the five different angles you can use to promote Task Notice with pay-per-click.

Article #1
Article #2
Which article to use?
Both articles are similar but the top part of each article will appeal to different segments. Article #1 will appeal to organizations that are more Internet savvy. They're already aware of how a proper Intranet can improve their productiveness and streamline their communication. All they're looking for is an Intranet with a proper "fit" for their organization. So the article gets straight to the point. If your audience is more corporate type, white-collar type, regularly uses software interfaces such as email and Word, use article #1.
Article #2 is for all organizations that have not even thought of setting up an Intranet. They do use the Internet but only at the basic level of using emails and a few common applications that are within their comfort zone. It will appeal well to blue-collar businesses, not-for-profits, government bodies, schools and teaching institutes and any organization that would be a bit more resistant to change.
If you're finding it difficult to assess as to which article to use...then use article #2. Article #2 will have a broader appeal and any organization owner will find it interesting enough to look further.
These headlines can be published at your site as links with your affiliate link embeded within.
