There are no two ways about it -
this is one of the areas where many people fall down on -
they spend a lot of time getting their site built, place
it with a web hosting service and sit back thinking
everyone will immediately click on their site and the
dollars will start rolling in. ...
Wrong ... To get
visitors to your site - you have got
to advertise ... advertise, that is,
without resorting to SPAMMING!
and
if you
don't know what SPAM is - click here NOW!
Now you may think that the rules
and regulations of SPAM make Internet Marketing too much
of a risk or is too complex for you to bother with -
don't worry, this is a response that many people have -
but if you really want to succeed you will see here how
many ways there are to tackle marketing that does not
involve SPAM - so stay with me here.
Building your website is your
half-way mark , and that's the easiest half at that!
The most difficult, but equally
important "half", is now beginning - marketing
your site to a level where you are successfully
generating a flow of sustained traffic to your site.
I cannot stress how critical this
stage is - you
MUST take
steps to maximize an excellent return on your marketing
efforts.
The first thing you must do is
make sure your website is optimized before submitting
your site to the search
engines. If you have no idea how to
optimize your site you may just find our guide on the subject helpful - Search
Engine Marketing Madezi.
Do not, however, rely purely on submitting your site to search engines
for your traffic. It's imperative that you look at other advertising avenues for
promoting your site and advertising your products.
Look Beyond the Obvious...
Always keep in mind the reason why
you're
advertising
- what
do you want from your ad in return for your dollar?
OK - I know you want to make money -
that's fine - but in order to make money you've got to
sell something - right? - now don't say to me that you
haven't got anything to sell - of course you have!
As soon as the words "sell" or "product" is used -
people immediately think of something they can touch - something
tangible - something they can physically pick up and hand over to their
customer.
Products can also be intangible - things you cannot touch or even see
are still "products" - your electricity providers product
is the supply of
electricity!
Our product is imparting knowledge to people who have not yet learnt how
to do something - agreed, you can see the written word on our
site, in our reports and our ebooks - but we are not selling the written
words - we are selling our
knowledge - which is an intangible product.
So,
I hope it's now agreed, you HAVE got something to sell -
but whatever it is, in order to sell something
you've got to have someone to sell it too - Yes?
- so what
do you want from your ad in return for your dollar? - YES -
Leads!
- and, particularly so if you're in a
service (intangible) industry, this is
absolutely
vital!!
Choose a Suitable Method...
There are many different methods
of advertising and, particularly if you're a newbie, I
strongly suggest you take a look at all the different
marketing methods and try a few that appeal to you to see
how you feel about actually using them.
Not all forms of advertising work
for all people - we are individuals - so you have to find
your own preferred methods.
Now you're wondering why I say
that - well, look at this way - marketing
is a critical part of your future success - if we
are not happy about doing something - no matter what it
is - it quickly becomes a grueling task - agree?
The last thing you want to become
a "grueling task" is marketing - because
without it you
will not be generating leads - no leads = no sales = no
business!.....
.....but it is no good just
blindly promoting your business - no matter which form of
marketing you do, you will be marketing amongst several million other
people - so - (and this is very important)

The Crowd ! ....
