Marketing Help

Have you just started marketing a business, product or opportunity online and find that you've absolutely overwhelmed by: the tools, the techniques, the gurus, the free reports, the webcasts, the marketing forums, and more?

		Help for Internet Marketers You aren't the first person who has ended yet another day with their head swimming in possibilities and questions. Which 'guru' to listen to? Which Search Engine Optimization program to buy? Which program or product to promote? Should you be a niche marketer? Or an affiliate marketer? Should you focus first on building a website or performing keyword research? What's most important? Getting traffic or subscribers? How important is sales copy anyway? Let me see if I can help... First step is to focus. Focus your energy, your talents, your desires. Finely hone your interests in online business down into a small target market. Next, you'll want to do some research. You'll want to find the phrases that people actually use to find information, product or services like yours. Then, you'll want to register a website (domain) name and secure a hosting contract for your website. After this you'll have to get down to some hard decisions about your marketing. If you are going to create an info-product, you'll probably just need a one page sales letter and an order link. If you're planning on blogging and linking to affiliate products you'll want to learn (or hire someone) to install a blog on your site. If you're planning on creating a huge and traditional content site you'll want to purchase some page creation software and learn how to use it. Of course this can all be as difficult or as easy as you choose for it to be. You can start really small with an info-product sales site and learn other marketing techniques as you go. Marketing Help for Existing Sites The two biggest challenges in marketing are sales copy and getting visitors to your site. If you require marketing assistance in either of these areas don't take the cheap route of trial and error. Sign up for some of the free resources on this site. See which marketer best fits your learning style during the free training, then buy their product and follow their systems to a T. It is important that you take advice from one who has gone before you that you can easily relate to/learn from. I've paid up to $1100 for some products (and believe me paying those prices hurt), BUT I've seen more than that come back as a result of applying the techniques taught in the product. Now, if I know I need something I don't question the price tag because I know it adds up to more revenue for me further down the road.
