The Silent Avatar Speaks

Internet Marketing can be one of  the most effective ways of making money and running your own business online  as you need very little money to start your online business (compared to traditional brick and mortar business) and providing you apply constant and consitent effort in a year or two you can become a wealthy person.

Well, what do you need just to start making a considerable profit online through the internet marketing?

To be successful in internet marketing you should combine three main elements:

1. Find services and products that a lot of people need or require which is not inundated by competition (find a niche)

2. Find a place to endorse these products, this assumes any form of landing page (a web site, forwarded domain, a blog or squidoo lens)

3. A source of visitors or targeted traffic (that means, that people you know are searching for the product or service you may be offering).

The first question you may ask is how to find such product or services?

One way is to try EPC, which stands for Earnings Per 100 clicks or affiliate network where you commonly can find information such as gravity that is a measure of a product.

If you manage to find a product or service with a high EPC or gravity you can for sure suppose that if that product is so popular among the buyers, a lot of people require and need it.

So if you discovered this, you can safely connect your targeted visitors to this product or service and drive them to buy it in order to make income.

But in order to do this it is necessary for you to have a form of landing page of your own. It can be a web site of a seller whose product or services you endorse or you can also use your own pre-sell landing page where a useful information about your products or services are represented, so that your potential buyers can make an informed choice.

This stage of the process is very important, because supposing that the prospects are targeted you still have to help them in making the right choice. To be able to do that you do not have to be a salesman.

Actually, most people browsing the web looking for services and products and what they are really looking for is useful information that helps them to make a right decision. If you provide your potential clients with useful information on the product and services you are marketing they need you are more likely to have more sales as they will be no longer searching fro other information and buy your products.

In some cases the landing page made by a seller will do the whole job and you just have to make a redirect, but if it is not the case, you have to make an extra value by setting up a place (website, blog, lens) where the visitors can get information they are looking for to make sure that they have chosen the right way.

Have you ever put up a questions what is internet marketing in simple words? You do not require any knowledge of specific online entrepreneurial terminology to answer that. Internet marketing is about conquering a bigger part of the online market for your product.

One of the most crucial elements in the successful internet marketing plan is to make sure you get web traffic from search engines for the keywords in your niche; thus you will provide a stable inflow of targeted visitors for your products online.

Do you use the holiday time to give yourself an excuse to slacken off a little in your internet network marketing business? That’s a fair question and the reason you should think about is, when the holidays are over, will you be basically starting from scratch again picking up your promotions where you left off.

What we’re getting at here is instead of easing off in the period leading up to a major holiday this should be the time to step it up a notch. It’s like a racing car driver driving a bend, they do it aggressively. This is no different. And this is why you should be doing it.

What you sow now will pay you big time when things return to normal. When everybody else is recommencing promotions and then spending the “lag time waiting for it to bear fruit, you’ve already done the hard work and will hit the resumption period running. Can you see how powerful this can be? You haven’t missed a beat and it’s usually a time when people start looking for opportunities.

Internet Network Marketing System

A little effort now will usually pay off big time in a month or two and all it requires is some application from you. Here’s an example…a month before any major break I make sure I have articles written for directory submission. Article marketing is a big part of my promotional efforts. In many instances, you can use a submission service and drip the release of the articles over time.

Where the benefit for yours truly is these articles will have already been published by the time we enter the new year and gaining search engine traction. The key here is with that little extra effort I am still able to enjoy a few days break with my family over the festive period but content in the knowledge I have promotions out there working for me while I’m off.

The advantage I have over someone who uses it as an excuse to take an extended break just because everyone else does is I will hit 2009 running in fact, I have gained a significant edge over my competitors. Can you see how powerful this can be?

It’s one of the major reasons why some people succeed in internet network marketing while the majority struggle and once again, use cause and effect to your advantage and your ultimate success really does start and end with you. Sit down and write a list of the major times during the year where people are likely to have a break and then make plans to do that little bit extra and reap the rewards.

Every business owner knows that the key to success is how well you market your business. Your business is not any different. Your success depends on your marketing strategies.

There are many different marketing techniques, all with their own price tag attached to them, and no matter what your business you will need to develop a marketing plan that generates sufficient customers to reach your goals. No customers = no sales = no growth = failed business. Even if you are not growing you are failing as there are many other businesses to step into your shoes and take your spot.

Using many different marketing techniques will quickly drain your bank account. Your first goal will be to determine how you can reach the most people for the least amount of money.

Here is one internet marketing technique that is cost efficient and a little more adventurous for you the “Business Owner.”

Become an Expert

What is your business? Look around at your competition. How do they present themselves to the general public? How can you present yourself differently?

Go buy a local newspaper, local magazine, listen to your local radio station; watch your local TV station. Are any of your competitors currently marketing themselves as an expert in your field? Too often we get bogged down ion our own business to keep in touch with what other businessess are doing in the marketplace.

I suggest you contact your local media and discuss the various ways that you could work with them. Local newspapers and magazines will have opportunities to write “Advice” articles. Local radio and TV stations may have talk shows that could host you weekly or monthly.

Contact the various local organisations that are looking for speakers for their monthly luncheons. Your Chamber of Commerce is an ideal place to start. Join your Chamber and get an article about you and your business published in their monthly magazine.

Study your customers and choose the type of media that would reach them. Talk to your current customers and ask them to give you their opinion about which area you should market in. Find out what they listen to and what they read, and what organizations they belong to.

What type of personality do you have?

Make sure that your personality matches your marketing strategy. Radio and TV would be a perfect match for you if you enjoy speaking in front of people, have an outgoing personality and a voice that carries well. Newspaper and magazine article writing will be perfect for you if you do not enjoy speaking in front of groups.

Becoming an expert in your area of business will not take years to achieve. Stay on top of the latest news about your business. Subscribe to trade publications to keep informed about new trends. The Internet offers many ways to stay informed on any topic.

The key to becoming an expert is to take the knowledge you have and the new information received and decide how your customers can benefit from this information. Not all news is beneficial to your customers.

Your goal is to cause your customers to look at you as the one to come to when they need what you are selling. You want them to refer their family and friends to you.

Don’t be shy. Go out there and market yourself as the expert that you are. The more exposure that you receive, the more exposure your business will receive.

If you have a list and you continually ad-pound your members without giving value it’s a fair bet that sooner rather than later, those list members will eventually opt out.

Why is this? Simply because you’re not providing them with value. It’s one of the key ingredients missing from many running an internet network marketing business; they can attract the prospects but simply can’t get them past that stage.

Now there’s a simple solution for this. You train and educate your members from the moment they enter your lead funnel. Instead of sending them short, punchy sales oriented material why not send them information they can use and act on. Send them links to free resources or write a short report and let them have it.

Until you understand what your prospects really want then it’s going to be an uphill battle for you. Ann Sieg teaches this in The Renegade Network Marketer and confesses she struggled for a long time before giving her prospects what they wanted.

Why Someone Becomes Your Prospect

Maybe they saw you as someone who could lead them to the “promised land.” Here’s a cold hard fact…most people looking for a internet network marketing opportunity do so because they have a problem. It’s usually of a financial nature, either lack of current funds or they want to set up a nest egg for the future that they can live from comfortably and provide for their families.

Emotions come into play and if you can tap into these emotions then you are half way to getting them to join you at some stage down the line in your business. These people are looking for someone to show them how to get to a stage where they are realizing their goals.

Training Your Prospect

One way to build trust with them is to train them from the moment they enter your prospect funnel. Provide tips they can use, show them the right way to build an inter-network marketing business and show them free resources they can go to for now to educate themselves about building an online business.

Sure, you’re not making money right away from them but in the big picture, some of these people could eventually become the Diamonds in your business you’re craving. It’s like growing a garden, some nurturing and care is required in the initial stages and when it takes off well, it will literally fly.

It’s you people are interested in and not the company you’re with. If you earn someone’s trust in the first few weeks then you will be in a strong position to make a recommendation or two. But until you do this, don’t expect many people to hit the buy button when you immediately starting pounding them with sales pitch after sales pitch after they opt into your funnel.
