Success Story: PLR Internet Marketing Celebrates 2nd Year in Business

Most businesses don't last through the first year of business, and the fail-rate of online businesses seems even higher. So when an internet marketing business does well, that's cause for celebration. And when an internet marketing business does really well, that's even more exciting. PLR Internet Marketing has just completed its second year of business and there's no stopping them.

Calgary, Alberta (PRWEB) February 29, 2012

PLR Internet Marketing is an internet marketing company based in Alberta, Canada. Founded in March 2010 by Warren Wooden, it enjoyed a meteoric rise through the search engines, achieving a page 1 placement on Google for the term "Internet Marketing" a feat that most internet marketing firms spend years attempting but failing.

CEO Warren Wooden said, "I left my corporate job in early 2010 and knew that it was the right time to start a business. I'd had some entrepreneurial experience before and the time seemed right to pursue this opportunity."

Wooden started the website and added content. That is where most entrepreneurs would stop but Wooden was just getting started. He became an expert internet marketer very quickly, growing his search engine placement, web traffic, and social media followings, and leaving his mark on the internet marketing community as someone who proactively adds value.

In his second year, he wrote and sold an ebook, started a forum, and developed several services that will help other entrepreneurs in their business, and launched some related websites in a joint venture with another entrepreneur.

PLR Internet Marketing is operating in a niche where internet marketing companies come and go like flashes in a pan, and Wooden's company has already outlasted many competitors as it celebrates its second anniversary. But Wooden knows that this is no time to rest. The industry is always changing and Wooden also has a fianc and a baby on the way.

"Life presents us with opportunities and challenges," said Wooden, "and the most successful people 'show up' every day and work on their goals." PLR Internet Marketing is proof of that mindset.

What does the third year hold for Wooden and PLR Internet Marketing? He is putting the finishing touches on his second ebook and he's focusing on growing his community of subscribers, social media followers, and forum participants as he adds value to everyone connected to his company.

"We're also going to grow web traffic and income," added Wooden. "There are a lot of internet marketers out there. I want to be known as the person who gives away the most value while running a successful business."

Follow Reggie on Twitter @ReggieBradford and Vitrue @Vitrue.

Facebook unveiled its much-anticipated new Timeline Pages Wednesday, giving marketers a glimpse of what lies ahead as the feature rolls out over the next few months.

[More from Mashable: Timeline for Brands: How to Prepare for Your Companys New Facebook Page]

Weve already experienced what Timeline means for consumers: a visual, multimedia chronological history of you. And it will be similar for brands: a dynamic new destination that will allow companies to present a visual treasure trove of stories, events and fan interactions.

[More from Mashable: Facebook Timeline Brand Pages Are Here [PICS]]

The Timeline Page feature does represent a significant improvement over the previous Page format. Not to mention, it creates a new opportunity for potential consumers to spend more time exploring brand Pages on Facebook.

But amidst the buzz of Facebook's new Pages, we should not lose focus on something that hasnt changed: the power and importance of the News Feed.

Providing relevant, interactive and valuable content via the News Feed is the number-one priority for consumer engagement. And with Facebooks recent EdgeRank changes, creating this type of content is more critical than ever in order to gain exposure on News Feeds.

Why is the News Feed where engagement happens? Because thats where consumers spend most of their time. Dont believe me? Consider your own Facebook behavior. Need some real-data proof? Our research shows that the News Feed is 110-times more engaging than other features.

However, the importance of News Feed shouldn't downplay the importance of new Facebook Pages. The Timeline Page format is a fantastic new feature for brands, a showcase for conveying information that should, if done well, get consumers more invested in your story, your history, your products and your success.
