The Op-Yop Is Back – Toy Stash Discovered

Friday, March 12th, 2010
Original Op-yop

Original 1968 Op-Yop

The original Op-yop is back! We are going to have some fun for a few weeks, maybe stretching into months. As proof that internet marketing concepts written about in this blog do work, I am going to present a product launch. In order to make the concepts easy to grasp I have chosen an actual product that can be physically touched. It has a limited market so we will be exploring niche marketing. The product is something unique, no direct competition. It is a retro item not sold in over 40 years! It was a fad in 1968. This would put it smack in the middle of the hippie era. It comes in Day Glo colors that light up under a black light. It makes a unique sound. I uncovered a warehouse stash of these things, left over from the original production. I think I have enough stock from the original runs to sell a worthwhile amount. We will try to cover all the marketing bases until the stock runs out.
We will do a series of press releases, write a few articles and post to the article marketing sites. I’ll go through (SEO) Optimizing the keywords for Search Engines. I’ll do a screen capture of the Google search results before and after the campaign, to show our ranking on the results. We will do some quick research into niche forums and other blogs. We will set up PayPal to receive payments. We’ll also populate the social media sites like twitter, Facebook, youtube and others like them. I may delve into advertising of different types as examples for the blog. I may use ebay for traffic. I will make every attempt to post progress and write about the methods used, time allowing. If you want to follow along, check back to see our progress. Web site is up and running as of right now. You can visit http://www.op-yop.com or http://www.opyop.com and search twitter for opyop tweets.

Top Five Steps To Internet Marketing Success In 2010

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

My plan to maximize results in the New Year took a little longer than expected. But reflecting on last years activity, and reading all the gurus’ first of the year announcements made it worth the wait.

Now that I am done reviewing results let me help you.

If your dream is to launch an internet site to market your business, or to improve the results from your current site, read on.

I’ve received some 1000 emails from the top internet marketers telling me/us what we have to do this year and the list varies as widely as the number of marketers. Buy this, buy that, must have this tool, can’t live without that tool.

It’s the basics that work and unless they are in place, Save Your Money!

I want to make it short and sweet and as direct as possible, so here goes:

1. Research and find a niche that sells well online, Clickbank selling other people’s products or selling your own, but become an expert.

2. Automate your sites, autoresponders, list captures, downloaders.

3. Use article marketing, blogs and forums full of useful content to establish your expertise. Learn how to use back links.

4. Promote yourself and your sites using social media, Twitter, You Tube Videos, Facebook, uStream, podcasts.

5. Narrow your focus, apply yourself, diligently follow a routine.

If you need help getting where you want to go, just drop James Bronersky an email. brnrsky@biztobizsite.com

I highly recommend developing a membership site as part of your strategy using an extremely economical product. Let me know how it goes.

If you found this information helpful please leave comments, tell your friends where to find us, copy and send anything you want from this site.

Top Ten List – Internet Marketing Methods…

Sunday, August 16th, 2009

Top Ten List – Internet Marketing Methods…As Used By Entrepreneurs*

1.) Email Marketing
2.) Social Media Marketing
3.) Blogging
4.) Affiliate Marketing
5.) Article Marketing
6.) Forum Posting
7.) SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
8.) Link Building
9.) Press Releases
10.) CPA (Cost Per Action)

This list is only ten of the thirty marketing methods researched. It is intended to provide an internet marketing novice with the most popular methods being used. (a complete list is available to my subscribers)

Existing online published articles are confusing, since every term even remotely similar to the word method is used interchangeably even though the meanings differ. Terms used to describe the above list included tactics, examples, techniques, ways, systems, strategies, practices….and more.

In my experience when setting up a good marketing business plan, it’s best to require clarity, and distinguish between the words strategy and method. Choosing the correct term helps to organize your thoughts. A strategy is used to achieve a goal, using methods chosen from the above list. Choosing the right word for the practices being used establishes a clear “how to” outline to follow…step 1, step 2, step 3, and so on. Hence, the list above is “the top ten methods”. I hope it helps towards your success.

*Listing order is based on interpretation of research data online 8/15/2009

How To Use The Internet To Turn Around Detroit’s Economy

Monday, August 10th, 2009

One thing for certain, to turn around Michigan’s economy, something has to change and quickly.

Facts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics For The Month of June:

  • Unemployment in Michigan, specifically in Metro-Detroit surpassed 17% in June, 2009.

  • Unemployment rates were higher in June than a year ago in all 372 US Metropolitan areas.
  • For the sixth consecutive month unemployment rates increased.

  • Michigan claims two of the most populous metro areas in the country that registered the highest unemployment rates

  • Warren, Farmington Hills and Troy registered one the highest jobless rates of 16.2%

Change is constant in Detroit’s auto business; so accepting change is not the problem. The problem is what to change to. It is about having choices. Don’t waste time waiting for the old job market to come back. Auto jobs are not coming back to Michigan. Getting people working again will only happen by choosing a new direction. Living within the Metro-Detroit area are some of the most talented people on the planet and they have what it takes to change this economy. Their training in the auto industry is so complex that every one understands the discipline needed to begin with a concept and end with a salable product. This training and discipline is easily transferable.

Certainly using the internet as a tool holds immediate promise. Now more than ever, what and who you know is essential to your success. Working from your home computer and networking on the internet is the easiest way to meet contacts with similar interests. Marketing yourself online expands job possibilities.

What you can do…

Join forums and groups, and get involved in as many networks as you can manage. Learn the basics of how money is being made on the internet. Copy those methods. Search the web for techniques, tips , tools and discover the systems already available. Apply automotive techniques to assembling a virtual business that creates jobs. There are “how to” guides any auto worker interested in being retrained can download. The step by step nature of systems for making money online will be very familiar to anyone involved in automotive. There is no degree required to start, most of what works is not taught in a university. The only requirement is serious application of the discipline and work ethic learned making an automobile.

Because the jobs are not coming back to Detroit or Michigan, starting an online business or taking advantage of other online opportunities are immediate choices for retraining unemployed workers.
