Internet marketing is tough! I have really just this past year been working on my internet marketing and I feel as though I am moving at turtle speed. Any pointers in the right direction will be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for the info and I will check out the teleseminar.

Depending on what type of business you run, the time and effort put forth to build internet traffic will vary. Some small business owners still prefer the old fashioned way of dealing with the public face to face. What a concept! The internet has made it possible for us all to do anything without having any human contact. I have many clients that I have never met face to face. Do you think that hampers the customer service aspect of how a client feels? Do you think they felt better about a deal/situation when it was done in person? There are so many ads and websites out there, and many, many of them lie about what is available, how much it costs, interest rates, etc. People think they should be able to receive any deal they see on the internet and it's just not that way. It can be frustrating when you have to be the one to tell them they can't get the deal at that price or rate. Even before the internet different businesses had different prices for things and you could shop around to find the best one - you usually took someone's word of mouth or shopped around at 3-4 places (this meant literally going there) before deciding, but now there are hundreds of sites that offer information on any one topic and you can shop them all from your home. Don?t get me wrong, I love the internet and its capabilities, I just think in some ways it?s ruined the old ways of doing business. Or maybe, it?s a generation thing? ...

It seems that each day there is yet another hot, new trend to cyber market to consumers. The terms and concepts alone ? RSS, SEO, and organic search can be downright confusing to novices and experienced internet marketers!

Yet, even in the ever changing world of the internet, the basic principles of marketing are still very much applicable ? when good ideas and good marketing meet it will produce solid results. Use the following tips to drive traffic and profits to your website.

Identify your market. Before you build a site around a product or service, you should identify your market. Who do you want to target? What products and services do they buy? Once you have identified the market you can offer a product/service that will specifically appeal to their wants, needs and preferences.

Use a simple landing page. You can sell products and services on the internet by creating a simple landing page. A landing page is a single page that allows you to focus on one group and/or topic. Using a landing page versus a full blown website enables you to have very specific information for a very specific group of customers. In example if you were selling nutritional supplements you could have a landing page for bodybuilders, a different landing page for pre-menopausal women, and yet another landing page for weight loss. Each page would only contain information for the target market.

Multiply your traffic opportunities. To increase the traffic on your websites, you will need to go beyond optimizing your site for search engines. Take advantage of other elements such as blogs, podcasts and RSS feeds to multiply your directory listings. In this way you are able to submit to different directory listings that may not have been captured by simple search engine optimization.

Pay attention to content. It is not enough to develop content. You must develop meaningful content. If you write articles for article banks ensure that the topic will have meaning for your target audience. You want your niche market to read it and immediately click to your website. This also applies to the content on your pages. Take time to develop engaging and persuasive messages for your target market.

Recycle, repurpose, reuse. Once you have put the work into developing meaningful content, by all means recycle it! An article can be submitted to article banks, cut into shorter content for blog posting and recorded as a podcast. You can also take a collection of articles and turn it into an e-book. You will not only maximize your content but you will also multiply your marketing channels.

Internet marketing can seem overwhelming but it does not have to be. You do not have to be a programmer or technologically advanced to harness the power of marketing in cyberspace. All that is needed is a desire to develop the skills for driving traffic and a willingness to put the time into creating meaningful content. Focus on a key market; test your messages and techniques to find the formula that works best. As you develop your skills, you will be able to drive traffic for any product or service which will unleash a whole new world of revenue opportunity.

The sales process for many small businesses involves lead generation, lead qualification, and lead conversion. The lead generation stage is possibly the most crucial stage because its creates the foundation for the entire sales. "Getting the word out" about your business or product entails many possible marketing strategies including: referral programs, networking, brokers, advertising (broadcast, internet, satellite), direct sales, direct marketing, and online marketing. Selecting the right strategy which you are comfortable with is extremely important, as well as taking into consideration your specific sales territory. Customize the marketing campaign the identity of your community. I have many other tips on my site. Check it out.

Denise, I think each business is going to have to figure out its own social media strategy. The strategy will include the use of multiple combinations of social media platforms and the campaigns will be measured in different ways for each.

Many of us have an idea or two about where we are heading but some of us know we are going to be surprised yet again by the next wave that is sure to come.

I look forward to reading more of your posts and I invite you to participate on inSocialMedia.com

Sometimes I just can't get those creative juices going. Other times they flow. I have learned to flow with them when they're there but I'm always open to new idea to stimulate creativity.

Did anyone out there give a try to Wide Circles or WideCircles. They are new word of mouth advertising platform, apparently they can push massive amount of messages through social network mediums like forums,blogs,wiki's and so on. They say that they only bill for posts active for minimum of 5 days and price seems pretty affordable. I am going to give Wide Circles aka WideCircles a try since I am tired of PPC fraud. http://widecircles.com ...

Great info! I've always added a 'T' to SWOT to make it SWOT-T. The T for Trends. A Trend can be like a wave that sneaks up on you at the beach and knocks you over. A business always needs to check the future to see what it might bring. That way, you see it coming. The reverse is true, too. You can see opportunities coming your way!

Congratulations, Kendall. You're making good money with your blog. What specific tactics are you using?

Those are some great points that I will use for my blog which is generating about $1000 a day right now.

I agree with you. Online branding is very important; but surely not easy to manage. There are hundreds of different ways, but choosing the good ways is often difficult. I think you have outlined here the ways that we should look at first. I would be pleased (and I think other would also be glad) to have a second '5 ways' to go further in our branding. Thanks for your relevant posting. Frequentia ------------------- http://frequentia.net ...

These suggestions are almost identical to those in a past issue of Gotvmail's newsletter (my advanced 1800 provider): http://gotvmail.com/newsletter/11-2007/how-to.html In any case, I agree that blogs are an excellent way to improve exposure but are only part of the equation. There's also social networking sites like Linked In, not to mention popular forums of relevance (forums generally discourage advertisement but will allow company links in your signature). But blogs are definitely helpful; indexes love them, and getting a good link exchange going with affiliates and friends is an excellent way to bootstrap any Web 2.0 marketing scheme.

I take this opportunity to say few words in response to Wakemen's blog that just writing for general discussion may be good for those who want to pass some time promoting their simple comments, but for technical discussion it has to be a serious and exchange of views session. I feel lot of things to discuss with experts and field personals to discuss my chemistry related development, but always i find people discussing in non technical areas. My suggestion is that their should be a forum or panel of experts discussing technical topics rather than simple blog where people are posting their views . It is just wasting of time... Thanks.

Social marketing is one of the hottest things on the market today. It is amazing how many successful businesses only have shops online. The company I work for is exactly like this. We focus on leadership development . and other business training.

My company sells free live chat software. If merchants have an online store, they can chat with prospective buyers for free. You can download this software here: http://www.volusion.com/livechat_software.asp Regards, Michelle Greer http://www.volusion.com ...

I find your article to be on the point. I know the basics but the more you know the faster you grow.

I am involved in digital media design and podcasting. Thanks for introducing me to a new resource. I have recently come across a new video business directory that is free. It is www.MeetMyBiz.tv The site has just recently launched. I am among the first to join this directory. It seems to be fairly comprehensive for the everyday business owner. Since the site holds video & audio, I'm sure businesses that have podcasts would be able to use their audio on the site for advertising as well. I am hoping it will be a good networking opportunity that will mesh connecting with other business people and growing my business.

Here's a cleaner link to that forum MySpace Marketing Blog and Forum ...

Yeah, MySpace can really be used for all of those things - sales, expansion, awareness, etc. It all comes down to targeting and creating effective messages... not spamming. If any businesses are interested in keeping up with this fast-paced, yet rewarding medium, I maintain a blog and forum on MySpace marketing here: http://www.nickjag.com/ Hope to see you around! --------- So what do you think of MySpace as a serious venue for marketing your products and services? Is it another way to expand your profile? Create more awareness? Do you have a profile? Let me know what you think, if you're using MySpace and how it's working for you.

Great article however my skills with setting all this up are limited so I went and found a service that let me do it. It took a while to find as they are not as popular as I thought. One I found wanted to charge per feed and then I found RSS Response who offered one free campaign. http://www.www.rssresponse.com I have just finished setting up my RSS course on photoshop at http://msiphotoshop.com/rss-reader/ Quentin ...

Emotion Creates Motion! I think the actual quote comes from the movie ?Boiler Room? where Ben Affleck is motivating his salesteam. ?So get on the phones, it's time to get to work. Get off your ass! Move around. Motion creates emotion!? As far as blogging goes I think the saying works better in reverse. Emotion Creates Motion! The emotion that people use in their blogs can be veritable gold. Real words, used by real people conjuring emotion and responses offering up unique content creates motion or flow. This flow of indexed content found in organic searches is valuable stuff. Unique and emotionally charged traffic can be awesome if it increases viewer-ship and primes the engines for the addition of new bloggers to a site. Every word of every blog can be valuable. As far as offensive bloggers and content: One way to deal with these individuals would be to cut some of the offensive content and warn the offender. Non constructive insults targeted at religion, sexual preference and heritage should be monitored. There are limits but for the most part blogs provide an opportunity for exponential growth.

Unfortunately, there is no tripod attachment.

I just returned from the BlogHer07 conference and used it to do spontaneous interviews. Very simple and everyone was curious about it. You can see some of the interviews here:http://www.buildabetterblog.com/2007/07/jory-des-jardin.html ...

Hi Bobby, To get your website up in rankings in search engines is a combination of process including adding the right meta tags, having the right content online , linking to pages etc. There is no one single method to lift the rankings on your website. Websites send crawlers out to websites to gather information and update their databases - this happens every 2 - 6 weeks.

Denise, thanks for bringing this super cool device to my attention. I wanna get my hands on one. Does it attach to a tripod for steady recording?

I've posted an overview of ways to use website performance monitoring to determine bottlenecks that affect your site here: http://www.fastedison.com/fe/blog/?p=5 ...

These tips are from an excellent book on email. As well, there's a great series of articles on my partner's blog about a "recipe" for an ezine which can applied to any email messages: http://www.coachezines.com/2007/02/recipe_for_an_e_9.html ...

Sorry to be negative, but I the title of your post should have been "same old rules for writing email messages." Which part is the new part??

I really felt that the article was helpful, however, I wish that you would have included some examples or even a sample of an email message from a small business.
