<br>Techniques and strategies for successful marketing on the Internet
have been and continue to be written about in numerous ebooks, books,
articles, etc; presented in teleseminars and at boot camps; recorded on
DVD's, CD's, podcasts, etc. In fact, there is so much information about
this topic that the new marketer can get overwhelmed and confused. The
bottom line is that the basic requirements to successful marketing on the
Internet can be broken down to 5 key elements... a quality product,
traffic, building a list, relationship building and budget. Everything
else is a further definition of what each element includes or is a tool to
accomplish it..<br><br>The first key element is a quality product and a
personal belief in the relevancy of that product. You must have a quality
product for a couple of reasons. Initially you need people to want your
product and for it to accomplish it's purpose - it it's no good, they
won't buy. But, even if you can get people to purchase an inferior product
or scam the first time, they will never buy from you again and you have
totally defeated the long term goal of your marketing... customer
retention, i.e. people on your list buying over and over when you
introduce new items. In addition, you need to believe in the worth of your
product to the consumer... if you don't, you simply will not be as
successful in selling it.<br><br>Next, there must be traffic coming to
your site. It may be true in the movies... "If you build it, they will
come" but not so for websites! Just creating or being given a website(such
as an affiliate site) is not enough. You need to create one or more
methods of getting that traffic to your site and the best traffic is
targeted. Targeted traffic (e.g. PPC, Adwords, classifieds, etc) results
in a better conversion rate and therefore, more economical both in time
and money. This can be accomplished in a number of different ways... from
free on up. Once the traffic arrives at your site, it is very important to
attempt to get the visitor's contact information... name and email at a
minimum.<br><br>It is true that "The money is in the List". Often, the
first time a prospect visits a site they won't actually do anything and
there is a very real risk that they will forget about it later... when
they are interested or have the time to look. If you haven't captured
their contact information, you have forever lost that person... again,
wasting marketing dollars. The page to do this is called [https://www-
Secure.Symantec.com/connect/user/yieldingyokel34 sneak a peek at this
website] squeeze page, capture page or landing page with opt-in. It is
also helpful to give something away, such as a repost, an ebook, etc. to
entice the prospect to opt-in. However, that give-away must be of use to
the person opting in so they feel that they received something of value.
By doing this you are beginning to build a relationship. If the give-away
provides nothing, you have done more harm than good to the budding
relationship.<br><br>Relationship, or credibility is the next key to
success in any form of marketing and online is not any different. People
only purchase products or join programs when they trust and/or respect
you. One of the best methods of creating this trust/respect on the
impersonal "World Wide Web" is to use an autoresponder to deliver a series
of emails to the prospect at regular intervals. In these messages you can
continue to talk about the benefits of the product or program you are
selling. In addition, occasional broadcasts with key events or timely
information maintain contact and build credibility. The regular emails
create name recognition and imply some level or skill (even when you are
just staring out - you know... "Fake it til you make it!") Audio and/or
video on your website also helps to create come familiarity and develops
trust. People make initial buying decisions based on trust and continue to
be interested in other offers over time from the same source
(you)...resulting in customer retention<br><br>Finally, but not
necessarily last, you must have a budget set aside for marketing. Unless
you have unlimited funds and don't mind wasting them, it is important that
your product or program produce income right away so that a portion can be
funneled into marketing on a continual basis, thus funding the effort. So,
you must take this requirement into consideration when selecting the
product or program to offer when you are just starting out. By creating a
habit of putting 10-20% of your income from your sales into your marketing
effort, starting immediately, your business will continue to grow and
flourish.<br><br>In conclusion, although the 5 key elements of success in
marketing on the internet (quality product, traffic, list building,
relationship building and marketing budget) are the basic requirements,
each of them can become a topic of their own. There are numerous tools and
products that will aid you in each of these phases and there are countless
quality products and programs that can be effectively marketed online. In
fact, most products and services can effectively utilize online marketing
to increase the bottom line. However, if you want to ensure maximum
success, incorporate the five keys we have discussed in some way. You can
start small and then expand on your offering... but just get started.<br>
