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.

List of Online Marketing Tools- An Overview

Friday, August 7th, 2009

This post is about the basics. It is for the novice, the “newbie”. It is a list of the online tools and how they relate to each other. It’s purpose is to quickly give you an understanding of the online flow of data and it’s use. Sort of the elevator speech, but in a very tall building. This is making money online in a nutshell.

Marketing your business on the Internet is all about building a relationship with those people with whom you share common interests.

Your initial focus is building a list of people who want to know what you know. The methods used to build this list are many, but the two main ones are through signups by people who visit your online web log or “blog” and people from whom you have captured their email contact information by directing the initial contact through a capture or “squeeze” page.

Generating traffic is the difficult part and being able to do it successfully determines whether or not your online experience will be profitable or not.
Common methods used to generate traffic follow a successful model where you establish a web presence in the form of a blog with content you generate about your products. You submit this information to the Search Engines using acceptable methods. You also review other web logs where topics related to your product niche are discussed and you participate in those discussions by giving authoritative input in the form of comments. Your signature block contains a link back to your page.

Squeeze or “capture” page traffic is generated by creating informative products in the form of Videos, Podcasts, Webinars, Press Releases, Forums, and Articles about your niche, then publishing them in the appropriate places on the web. Interested parties are all sent to your opt-in list through your capture form.

You then begin to develop a relationship with your list via email initiated interactions such as frequent mailings, online events, surveys, etc.

You offer them your own products, other peoples products, and information transfer services such as consulting, training, or public speaking; all of course based on your skill set and level of expertise.

I’ll go into more detail on each of these items individually in other posts. I will also put up a flow chart as a visual aid
