Internet Marketing Done The Right Way

It can always seem hard at first, but there can be success with internet marketing if you have the desire to learn, if you are willing to take massive action, will do yourself a favor and find a mentor and you start building relationships.

You might start out and find you are not doing things the right way leading to your desire to be an internet marketer. Just step back and take a look at what you are doing. Let’s take a look at how you are doing things now.

1. You are only downloading free products- You figure you don’t have to pay for anything because it is free. And that is even if you have to search all over to find your freebies.

2. You want to jump right into a internet marketing niche because you think this IM niche is an interesting niche. Hey, you could even pass yourself off as an internet marketing guru when you barely know anything about the business yet.

3. You try to learn everything by yourself- Okay you like being out there by yourself. You can learn everything on your own because you know the experts are not going to share any information with you. They are just to busy.

4. Let’s spend a lot of time in forums- yeah, you know the right thing to do is get into those forums. There is some “useful” information there and we can read it all. That will teach us everything we want to know.

5. You have lots of ideas and you have started a lot of them but you don’t complete them. That’s because you love the idea in the beginning but then you see, this is actually going to be a lot of work. A lot more work than you want to put in and get going. And besides, it’s not perfect and still needs some work.

6. You have that really nice PDF report but the information in it won’t work for you. It might be a successful formula being described and has worked for others but it just won’t work for you.

7. Why should you attend seminars? Nobody ever learns anything there and it is just a waste of time. And all they ever do is pitch there products.

8. The old pinball method- You find one good thing try it out for a while but after a week when it doesn’t work you look and find something that looks better you jump to it. You are just bouncing around from one thing to another.

Alright I am just joking but you get the point. Did any of those things remind you of yourself. I know I have been there a few times.

Now let’s get down and do this right…

1. Let’s download some quality products and not only that let’s get products we are going to use. No need to have a computer full of stuff you are not using.

2. Why not try to position yourself in something that you are familiar with and make yourself an expert in that. Do you play golf, knit, do scrapbooking to name a few.

3. Go ahead and ask someone who knows a little more about the subject than yourself. Yes, it can even be an expert. Maybe they won’t have all the answers to your questions but there are a lot of successful internet marketers out there that probably can. The best thing about this is you are building relationships.

4. There is a lot of information you can learn from forums, but you don’t need to read everything. Visiting a few forums is fine but that should not be what you call taking action.

5. Talk to any successful marketer and they will tell you if you wait for your product to be perfect you will never get it out there and will be wasting time. You might even get frustrated and decide to move on to something else. If you are going to fail, fail fast so you can get upi and start all over. You can learn from your mistakes.

6. Don’t make excuses about how everyone has it better than you. There are many stories of internet marketers that have probably been far worse off than you. Excuses will not get you out of that rut. Take action.

7. Believe it or not seminars are a great place to meet people and build relationships. You will probably meet people there who have the same problems that you have. You can share experiences and learn from each other. They are a good place to get joint venture partners which could be your start to making money on the internet. And the speakers do share useful and helpful information.

8.  Pick one method and give it your all. Learn everything about it until you have it mastered, you become the expert and then you can move on to the next thing. Stop jumping around to that next big thing.

Try these methods and see if they will work for you. After all where have all of the other negative things gotten you so far.

Why Listening is Your Most Important Internet Marketing Success Secret

The other night I had a conversation with my mentor, Doug Champigny, a very knowledgeable man. I told him how I have always had people tell me things because I listen. And we had a conversation about why listening is your most important Internet Marketing success secret.

It got me to thinking about how important listening skills are on the internet and your online business. We as marketers would always like to think that we know what our customers want or what they should need.

But many a wise marketer has discovered, as we all should, that your customers will tell you what they want not the other way around.

There are a number of ways this can be accomplished and not necessarily by listening to them talk. That would be the obvious way to find out but if you have a large list that would take you a while to talk to everyone on your list.

By the time you were done they may have changed there mind or moved on to another marketers  list because you haven’t been talking to them anymore.

Now here are 3 reasons why you should listen to what your list or customers are saying…

- By listening you let them tell you what they want and are expecting from you. Maybe they want you to show them a skill, create a product, show them how to use a product or just listen, imagine that. You could discover there are a number of ways you can help them.

- Listening is a skill that is a lost art. The person trying to communicate with you is doing so for a reason. Maybe they are trying to express a need for something, they may feel uncomfortable or express a thought.

Listening is a trait all of us have but few fully implement it into their daily lives. Sometimes say when you are talking to your spouse, friends or acquaintances maybe they just want a sounding board. Someone to just listen to what they have to say.

- If you are able to understand what someone is trying to tell you it is one of the best ways of communication. That person has the feeling that you have connected with them and they can share just what they want because they will feel that you will be able to help them.

They may not want advice but just have someone to run their ideas and thoughts by. It could actually lead them to work out their problems all on their own. They will probably thank you and you didn’t do anything.

May not seem like much but can be one of the best breakthroughs you will ever experience. That connection could lead to a word of mouth about you that could become like a virus spreading your good name around for helping others. Your list could increase exponentially.

But remember, to be an effective listener you must be sincere. You must be able to show passion and be ready to help if asked. For someone to want to talk to you they must trust you and that could be the hardest part.  But that breakthrough could be a big step to improving how you are perceived in business and in real life. So now you see why listening is your most important Internet Marketing success secret

Next time I will discuss why you should listen and interact with others that know the online business better.

A Brief Internet Marketing And Health Lesson

You may or may not have noticed that I have been AWOL from my blog for a while. No new updates and that stinks. That should be something that I get to at least three to four times a week if not more.

About five or six years ago while getting a physical exam I discovered that I have Type II Diabetes. Though not fatal I came to understand that it is a common problem as you get older with controling your weight. I did not think I was that heavy but my doctor did.

He wanted me to lose weight and exercise more. He put me on the South Beach Diet and in the first two weeks I lost 15-20 lbs. It was an awesome feeling and things were going good. Of course the doctor wanted me to lose more but I kept that off for three years.

Eventually it crept back on and tried different things but none were like the original diet. I was even put on insulin which was no fun either. Well, about five days ago I stated the diet, the original diet again. My insulin dosages have been out of whack but I think I have them under control again.

Why would I be telling you this you might ask? Well if you are trying to get into the Internet Marketing field, this could pertain to you.

When you first come into to this field you are new to it. It may be something you have heard about or you may actually know someone who is an Internet Marketer. You learn about it and decide it is something you want to do.

You start earning a few bucks and say, hey, this has some potential. So you get going and decide that you should try something else. It doesn’t work so well so you try something else. And the cycle continues. So eventually you come to a crossroads, you can continue trying new things or maybe you can just give up.

But wait a minute. Before you make any drastic decisions like that about your future, think back. What was it that got you started and was successful for you? And why did you get away from it?

You could probably check with a hundred or more successful people in the Internet Marketing field and I bet at least 95% would tell you to get good, really good at one thing before you move on to something else.

Yes, stick with something that works and if anything duplicate it. So, let’s say you put up a website and you work at it to be a very good money maker. Go ahead and make another, then another and another. Perfect your skills with one thing before you move on to something else.

Have I learned my lesson with my dieting and controling my weight. Probably not, I enjoy good normal food just a little to much. But I know what works and I will keep coming back to it. You don’t have to be like that with this business. It is easy to duplicate and once you have it down you will appreciate what you have done.

Are You A Know It All In Your Business?

I was having a conversation with my elementary school daughter the other day. We were discussing some of her Math homework and I was trying to explain a problem to her. Now I am no math whiz but I held my own in school with math and really enjoyed the subject.

I must preface this by saying that she is an exceptional student, and I am not saying that because I am her dad, and she takes after her mother. My daughter is in one of those accelerated programs in our school district for gifted kids and she performs quite well. Ah, I digress.

In trying to explain a simple problem to her she would just nod her head and say I know dad, I know. Don’t you just hate that from your kids, the little know it alls. Can you relate to that? Well, at that point there was no point in trying to explain anymore as she was not going to listen.

My point in all this is, are you like that? When you need to learn something new in your Internet Marketing business or any business and you have one of the leaders in that field or someone who may know a little more than you, do you listen to what they have to say?

If you have a knowledgeable person, do you read “Guru”, who is willing to share what they know, can you listen and apply what they tell you? There are some of these leaders who will tell you all you really want to know, who want to help you as much as you are willing to take it. It is up to you to put that extra effort into it to get out what you want.

There are a lot of Guru’s out there who are willing to take your money and won’t offer you anymore than the package you pay for. I know, I have dealt with some of them. But there are also those who will go out of there way to show you just about anything they can to help you make it in this business.

And those are the people you really need to pay attention to. Open up your ears, clear the room so you can listen without distractions and  take some notes. Do whatever it takes to listen and understand what they are trying to teach you.

Whatever you do don’t be like my daughter and think you are a know it all. It will take some time until she gets older but I will share one imprtant fact with her. You never stop learning and Knowledge IS Power.

Some Basics For An Internet Marketing Newbie – A Follow Up

For my last post, Some Basics For An Internet Marketing Newbie, I mentioned a few items that I thought were essential for a newbie wanting to start an internet business. I received quite a few comments that I had left out some other important items and needed to give some prices for the items I recommended.

One of the items I mentioned was a domain. This is needed as it is the name of your website. I have a couple of companies I use though there are quite a few others that are just as good. I use  Godaddy and Namecheap, namecheap.com. Both I have found to be reliable. As I say though just goggle domain companies and you will see a bunch. You can usually find domains ranging in price between $7-10.

For a hosting company I would recommend HostGator, that is who I use. They have a 99.9% Uptime Guarantee which is the amount of time they are usually up and running. This is very important because if your website is not up, you are not making any money. And after all you are in business for what?

Hostgator has few plans to choose from starting with the Hatchling plan that you can get started with for $4.95/mo. It would be a good starting plan for a newbie but I would suggest the Baby plan for 7.95/mo. The big difference is that the hatchling plan will only allow one domain but the Hatchling will allow unlimited domains. That way if you figure that you like this business you might want to set up more websites.

Most hosting companies are pretty similar with some offereing a few more thing than others. But the most important thing from any company is to make sure they have Cpanel. This will low you to work in your back office to work on your website.

Another must have item I did not mention was an autoresponder which I must admit is a very important part of your business. This will allow you the ability to stay in contact with your customers, better known as your list. The autoresponder will be your communication link to them to let them know what you are up to.

This will be how you can load up a bunch of messages to send out to the whole list at one time on specific days that you can decide on. You can send them your newsletter, let them know about upcoming events, the next product launch and you can go on and on.

Now two of the bigger names out there for this service are Get Response and Aweber. I use Aweber and have never had any problems with them. Now you could get 10 people and you might get half to say either one. You can look to spend between $18-25 with either company and by signing up for quarterly, half yearly and yearly plans the price will be a bit cheaper.

There are loads more little things I could throw in to tell you about. One thing though you will learn in this business is Analysis Paralysis which can stifle and sometimes kill a newbie. No need for brain overload when you are just starting out.

I will talk about other things from time to time. Just check back and see what our next topic will be. Internet Marketing has a world of opportunities available to you. Just get in and take a look, though I must warn you you might get hooked.

Some Basics For An Internet Marketing Newbie

Some people at work know I dabble in the Internet Marketing field. I have been lucky enough to have made a little  money. Now, not enough that I could quit my J-O-B but enough to pay a few bills so I can dabble some more. But I see there is tremendous potential to make a lot more money on the internet so that is one of the reasons I stick with it.

But back to the people at work. Some of them are very curious about the internet. A lot still have fears but eventually curiosity will get the better of them and they will want to know more. So here are some basics for an Internet Marketing Newbie.

I tell them that it is a pretty good business to want to get in. It will require a bit of work but the payoffs can be pretty exciting. I know the first check I got as an affiliate marketer. I thought it was the best thing. And I was even fortunate to meet the marketer who’s product it was I sold and you better believe I was beaming with a smile.

So as they ask me what do they have to do to get started on the internet I give them a short list of things they will require:

1. A computer- yeah laugh it up. Kind of obvious. But you want a computer that will have a little power and speed. Above all I recommend  having Windows XP or later.

2. An internet connection preferably Broadband. This will be especially helpful for some of the programs you may have to download. It can be done with dial-up but boy you could be there a while.

3. An anti-virus program will be most helpful. There are a lot of free ones out the to choose from. I use AVG. They have a free and paid version and I have gotten by with the free one for a while.

4. A zip program will be important as you will get most of you products in the zip format. Winzip is a free option that I use.

5. Email will be very important as that will be a big way for you to communicate with people and them with you.

6. Productivity software – computer programs that help users complete task more efficiently. Microsoft Office comes to mind as one of the more familiar but Open Office does just as many things and it is free. Get it at OpenOffice.org.

7. A Paypal account would be recommended.

8. A credit card.

There are many other little things that you could get eventually but I think these are some of the essentials that will help you get started. Once you get an idea what the business is all about then you can decide if this is right for you and if you want to invest more. I will tell you that it is fun and exciting and something you ought to consider.

If you have ideas for other thing that could be added to this list feel free to leave a comment. As I said these are but a few of the requirements for getting started on the Internet.

The New Breed Marketer Learns From Three Turtles Marketing

My friend Mike Paetzold has a blog called Three Turtles Marketing at http://www.threeturtlemarketing.com. In it he discusses the life and times of his turtles and how it relates to the Internet Marketing business. And the New Breed Marketer has picked up a thing or two.

And I must say those turtles are pretty smart or is it Mike since he is the one relating the story. But I digress from my point about this set up.

Mike likes to share stories and how they can be applied to your online business. If you listen to and read what he has to say I can gaurantee you will pick up a tidbit or two of really helpful information.

My point here is if you are just starting out or if you have been online for a bit and find yourself floundering and wonder what to do next, maybe you need someone to follow or to mentor you.

Yes, it would be nice to hook up with one of the big guys and I know you will learn a lot but you wil also spend a lot. There are a lot of good marketers out there who have not gained that big name yet and I am sure they would be willing to share some helpful hints with you. It sure will be a lot cheaper.

It could be a time consuming process for you but think about the time they will be giving to this enterprise. It could actually help you both if you both go in open minded.

For you it will be a learning experience that could open your eyes to the potential of Internet Marketing. Listen to what they have to say and then go out and do it.

Now I don’t mean you have to take them word for word but I am sure they will share some good things that you should be doing. After all you are trying to learn the business.

For them they could learn how to teach that knowledge that they have stored in those brain cells. It may make them remember some of the things that they did not know they had. It could also be the first step in them putting together some training material.

It will also show them how best to get that information in a form that they could share with others. It could make it a profitable endeavor for them as well. Sharing that knowledge to people new to the internet could provide them with a following. A win-win for all involved.

I will continue to listen for more juicy bits of information from Mike as he converses with the turtles. Shhh, lets keep that between us as I would not want those people in the white coats knocking on his door because they heard there was someone talking to Turtles!

Then I would lose a good source of information. Hey reading these post from the blog is giving me writing material. I need something to stimulate my brain cells.

You Can Control Your Own Destiny

 

 

Last week was one of the coldest weeks of the year in Maryland. Granted this is the winter and this is only the start of the second month of the year.

But as I was taking my daughter to school and driving to work, I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be nice to do something different. Wouldn’t it be nice to work from home.

You know the sleep in late, get up and lounge around before you actually get down to business. I think we have all kind of had that thought from time to time.

Well, I have been dabbling into Internet Marketing for a bit and have seen the potential that can come from it. I have tasted a little success and I know the possibility of working online with a home based business.

As I sat in traffic I tried to visualize reasons for wanting to work at home. I came up with a few here:

- Obviously no need to drive to work. I could work from home and set my own hours. But, you must maintain a strict schedule and not slack off. After all, this is your business.

- You are not working for someone else, making them all of the money and they pay you a lousy salary. If you want someone to pay your wages, how about you. I bet you know what you are worth.

- You are in control of your own destiny. Especially now with the economy the way it is a lot of people are on pins and needles wondering if they will be next to get the ax. Definitely not a good feeling to have. But with your own business you hold your own self accountable. Whether the business will thrive or die will all depend on you.

There are many other things I could put down here and I am sure there are more than a few that you can come up with without any ones help. But I think you get the picture. And that is the beauty of an online business.

And unlike that franchise if your online business does not work you could quit that one and start another without any major loss or damage.

And just starting out on your own you are not having to layoff a bunch of employees depending on you to provide them with an income. You may get there one day but for now you can go it alone.

What will it take for you to decide that this is the time to think about working at home. Be it the economy, needing an extra income lack or loss of a job, you can decide.

The internet has opened up a world of opportunities for anyone wanting to strike out on their own. Just remember that it is not all fun and games, this is or could be your business.

Also, a reminder about the Natural Weight Loss PLR package I told you about by Doug Champigny. Well, as I explained there would be only 100 packages made available and I understand it could be down to the last 20.

Remember, I told you so. This package will disappear when those 100 are gone. This could be your last chance. It comes with a PLR eBook, 10 PLR articles and 10 PLR audios, with graphics. Go see what is left.

Should You Attend An Internet Marketing Seminar?

I was watching JV Alert that was happening this Weekend in Orlando. Sure wish I could have been there. Yes, it could be because it was in Florida where the weather is warm and I am in Maryland where the weather is not.

Yes, that would be a good excuse. But I have another reason for wanting to be there. Have you ever been to a Internet Marketing Seminar?

If not I would tell you that it is something you should definitely put on your to-do list. It is amazing the number of people that you will see there.

You can actually see that there are a lot of people like yourself that are getting into Internet Marketing. And they all can come from different backgrounds.

You may think that they are all a bunch of techie’s unleashed in some warm climate hotel having a good time. But they are not. They are a bunch of fun loving easy going folks like you and I would are just trying to make a living on the internet.

And from this variety comes a great bunch of folks that are willing and able to help each other. You tend to find out even the presenters are nice. They are just like any other person there.

s

As I was listening to the different speakers on U-Stream I was intrigued by the number of comments there were from different people.

Some wanted to know more about the speakers, some commented about what great information they were receiving and some even wanted to know where they could find out more information about the speaker.

But, inevitably you had the few naysayers who wanted to know if this was a pitchfest. Now be sure there will be some type of offer from the speakers offering their latest and newest product.

But for the most part you are getting some of the top speakers in the field wanting to share some of their findings and research with everyone. If you feel that that is just a pitchfest then turn it off. Nobody is forcing you to listen.

As I was saying earlier this is a great way for you to see some of these top name speakers. But it is also an opportunity for you to network. I think that is the true power of these conferences.

I think there are a few, very few, things I can do in Internet Marketing. But at a conference I may meet someone who can write copy, can do graphics, can write articles and can even make websites.

If you get a few names it could lead to some joint venture projects. You could even trade skills and they could help you and you can help them. Are you starting to see the power of these events.

So, if you ever get a chance to attend a conference run don’t walk over to sign up. They are happening all the time and I am sure there will be one near you. Be on the look out and get over and see what they are all about. You will not be sorry you did.

There is still one more day. You can read more about it at http://jvalertlive.com/Orlando4.htm. They even have a live feed at http://jvalert.tv. Go experience the fun.
