Information is King of the World Wide Web. And for good reason - We Need It!
I am referring to Internet Marketing Information of course.
There is not a single day that passes that I haven't learned at least one
new
marketing tip, Internet trick or piece of priceless advice that will keep me
in high overdrive on the Information Superhighway.
More often than not, these will come from a book or informational software
I've purchased.
I consider myself a fairly astute Internet marketer, but I am smart enough
to
know that I don't have all the answers. I can learn, as well as teach.
Amazing how often some small pearl of wisdom comes shining through a thirty
dollar tutorial that will either make me a lot of money, save me a lot of
money or conserve that most precious of commodities - time.
I'm also an online life and business coach. Have been in the business for
three years. As you know, marketing is one of the great keys to successful
e-commerce. Thought you might find these following suggestions helpful:
#1. Invest in a few online marketing courses. Learn how to use creative ways
to bring people to your site. The more people the better. Some experts
calculate it takes 700 hits to produce one sale! So get a free web page, and
include all of your products and services on your page. Then blast your page
all over the net!!
#2. Market your page daily with a combination system: FFA pages,
classified
ads, e-zines and yes even search engines--many free submissions are
available
with a little surfing time on your part.
#3. Have free stuff on your page that people actually find useful. Free
mall
stores, banners which pay you, and free classified ad sites are still
very
appealing.
#4. Encourage others to link to your page. Provide easy methods for them to
accomplish this--free link pages or "rings"--etc.
#5. Consider all your junk mail as prospects! Send them an e-mail back
which
advertises your page with a "hook."
#6. Write ads which include an incentive ("hooks") for people to e-mail you
back. Example: "E-mail me at qlcoach@aol.com, and I will help you market
your
business for FREE!" Then work with these prospects by helping them solve
their problems through your products or services. (smile)
#7. Use newsletters to develop your own mailing list. Example: "Provide me
with your business card information. I will send you my free newsletter on
Internet Business Opportunities."
#8. It's okay to invest in blasters, and ad submitters. They save you time,
and help you reach far more people than is possible through individual
contacts.
#9. Stay away from e-mail or "safe" mailing lists. Unless you will take the
time to use the junk mail to market your page with some kind of free offer
or
hook.
#10. Network with other e-commerce folks for support, encouragement, and
fun!!
Join and paticipate in few online clubs or chats or message boards.
Conclusion:
The internet does hold the promise of financial independence for many of us.
Don't be reluctant to invest in a few excellent internet marketing courses.
(The free ones just don't measure up--you get what you pay for!) Without
savy
advertising, you won't get the business you so richly deserve!
