Top 10 Marketing Tips!
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!
