Why You Should Learn Online Marketing Now

By Brett Smith

If you're in marketing but you haven't learned about the Internet as a market, you're behind the times and you need to learn about it. If you don't know about Internet marketing now, and you don't start learning about it right away, you'll be missing out on a lot of money now and maybe even more money in the future.

Here are 10 reasons why.

1) THE INTERNET ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. Perhaps as little as a few years ago, some people thought that the Internet was just a flash in the pan that would be quickly gone. However, it's not. It's here to stay and it can be YOUR path to success in the 21st century. Every year, the Internet gains greater footholds in society with more traffic and the exploding amount of information contained on it. This includes business and product marketing information in addition to the other more innocuous research information you might think of. If you wake up to this reality in time, you can use it to your advantage.

2) ONLINE MARKETING: A CHEAP WAY TO GO. Guess what? Internet marketing is cheap. Let's say you're trying to run a brick-and-mortar store and are still making a lot of use of paper mail outs. Okay, so maybe you're having some success, but you'll never get the type of success or return on investment that you can with Internet marketing. Most likely, your clients know the Internet and surf on it daily. Prospective clients, too, are in this boat. Why should you spend all that money on advertising with paper mailing when you can do it much more quickly and cheaply with online marketing? By the same token, if you're trying to run an online business and no one's coming to your website, having skills in Internet marketing is a must. It's cheap, it's relatively easy, and best of all, it can give you a major return on your investment -- both in time and money.

3) INTERNET MARKETING IS FAST. Once you get things initially set up, marketing online, using digital power, takes off almost by itself due to its viral nature. You can never move as fast offline as you can online, because the Net is the information hub of the 21st century.

4) INTERNET MARKETING IS EASY. This ties in with its being faster and cheaper--and thus, better. Internet marketing does not require you to employ a team of salesmen, it does not require you to make cold calls, it does not require you to stuff envelopes, and it does not require you to have an elaborate, expensive voice-over studio attached to your home.

5) INTERNET MARKETING IS JUST MORE FUN. Work in your pajamas. Hell, work naked. Work while listening to your favorite music as loud as you want. Go to any website you want to, whenever you want to--there's no risk of being fired.

6) ONLINE MARKETING IS FREEDOM. This ties in with it being more fun. If you open an online business and do the right marketing moves to make it a success, you can fire your manager and get out of the indentured servitude of a j-o-b. Work when you want, when it's best for you.

7) IT'S A GREAT FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY. Basically, you can sell whatever you want, there are as many products or services out there as there are people, pretty much. And? You can go online and seek them out at very little cost to you.

8) YOU HAVE GLOBAL PROSPECTS. Your prospects are literally global (that is, as long as they speak English, likely). This is why they call it the "World Wide Web."

9) IT'S THE LATEST THING. To keep up with your competitors, you're going to need cutting-edge online marketing content. If you don't, your competitors will eat you alive.

10) GET IN NOW WHILE THE GETTING'S GOOD. If you can get into online marketing now, you'll pay lower prices than you will at any time in the future. Its cost is increasing as more entrepreneurs realize how valuable it is. Therefore, get it at today's prices, and save yourself some money.

Tips On How To Make Money Online

By Ade Carone

Everyone is searching for tips on how to make money online. The truth is, making money online is really easy, only after you have worked hard for a while and learned the basics of marketing.

There are a few popular ways of earning a living on the internet today, so this brief article will not go into details, but rather be an overall guide.

There is no one approach to internet marketing that everyone can use. There are however a few certain basics that everyone can learn from and then formulate their own plan from there on out.

Begin your marketing efforts by learning from people who have gone before you. Follow the examples of professionals, other successful people, ask around, and do what you have to, so that you don't make stupid mistakes.

You will be lucky to find a lot of information for free when it comes to making a living online. If you do decide to join a program, be sure and check around to make certain you aren't getting ripped off.

Try to find people who are already doing well online. Become their friend and ask them questions. This is what I did and it is the only way you can get ahead. You need to learn as much as possible.

I know how it feels to be in your shoes. It took me years before I made my first sale. Be patient and you will see results.

If you can find a step-by-step program I would recommend you join it. Nothing beats following "along" when you are first learning, believe me.

Time management is another important factor to stay on top of. Do not spend weeks on end doing one thing. Move as fast as you can, but diligently.

Work hard for short periods of time, get up and walk away from the computer. This works out much better in the long run than trying to work for 8 hours without a break.

Whoopydoo offers fantastic point of sale incentives

By Rob Malcolm

Whoopydoo is the premier holiday promotions specialist in the UK, operating a wide range of travel based incentives from short breaks, cruises, foreign holidays and city breaks. Whoopydoo provide holiday offers at a fraction of their normal high street cost by working closely with a dedicated travel agency to locate the best deals, often through a wide range of the leading tour operators.

Holiday promotions have the highest perceived values and are perfect for attracting new customers, gathering data and as prizes for competitions. As everyone will take at a holiday each year the chance to enjoy a complimentary or heavily discounted holiday will always hold appeal. Whoopydoo supplies either high quality, paper booklets or on-line, downloadable promotional vouchers. Paper vouchers are ideal for direct selling and on-line vouchers perfect for e-business applications with large volumes or where the cost of fulfilment via traditional methods is not financially viable. Mobile phones can also be utilised with these incentives by using a dedicated web site and unique 12 character code sent via SMS. The customer then simply downloads and prints out the voucher.

All of the Whoopydoo incentives are totally timeshare free and offer a number of different options for the recipient so that they can always find a holiday that suits their needs. For instance a voucher providing a theme of a complimentary Cruise for 2 people will also have options to take a 7 day self catering holiday for up to 6 people or a city break for 2 to 4 people.

Some choices require a processing fee to be paid at the time of application, normally 39 per person. This then entitles the applicant to receive an offer including return flights and a minimum of 3 star accommodation. When the applicant accepts their holiday offer they just pay their Air Passenger Duty (a government tax), any airline fees or fuel surcharges and provide evidence of travel insurance.

Whoopydoo’s web site features a regularly updated list of testimonials from customers, many of whom are regular travellers, making the most of the incredible value holidays that simply can't be bettered. Further information can be found on the web site whoopydoo.net

The incentives can be purchased through Whoopydoo's sister division, AIM Solutions. They also run and operate a wide range of lifestyle incentives and promotions for hotel breaks, fun days out, activity days, spa breaks and various dining offers. These incentives are frequently employed by financial institutions, consumer survey companies, fast moving consumer goods and transport organisations to increase acquisitions and promote loyalty.

Minimum order quantities do apply and all promotions are scrutinised by AIM to ensure that the Whoopydoo incentive is the best one for the target audience and can deliver substantial increases in business and return on investment. Many of Whoopydoo's clients have been using holiday incentives for over 5 years! Please note that as Whoopydoo incentives DO NOT have any timeshare connections or requirements, they do not supply vouchers to companies involved in this market sector.

How Andrew and Daryl make money online

By Matthew gary

Do You Have What It Takes To Be An Affiliate Marketer? Each of us has its own interest or has a hobby. Some love all kinds of books, music, and movies while others are into sports and traveling. There are also people who love to grow flowers and loves pets. These things help us to relax and forget our everyday problems and troubles and these things are common to people. But not everyone has a hobby that makes money for him/her except if you love your job.

"What should I sell? What products are hot selling? These are the questions most people are trying to find an answer in order for them to make the definite decision. And if we really want to know the answer to this question, our only choice is to do some research. There are all kinds of twists along the road that may lead you to think you have a high-demand idea. We must be able to understand and satisfy the need, wants and expectations of our customers on a certain product that they're trying to buy. This three are called the basic needs or minimum requirements in a purchase. Needs are the basic reasons or the minimum requirements consumers are looking for in a product or service. They are called the qualifying or "gatekeeper" dimensions in a purchase. Wants are the determining dimensions among many choices. Expectations, on the other hand, are values or intangibles associated with a product or service. Expectations are actually part of "wants" but they become extremely important when products or services are not differentiated.

Affiliate marketing is a revenue sharing partnership between a web merchant and one or more affiliates. The affiliate is paid a commission for referring clicks, leads or most often sales to the merchant. An affiliate's advantage is that he can make money in a business where he doesn't have the upfront costs of creating his own product, and he doesn't have to worry about e-commerce, bookkeeping, or even customer support for it is the merchant's responsibility.

Now, for sure you want to be an affiliate marketer with all that benefits an affiliate could get. But, do you have what it takes to be an affiliate marketer? Before you begin your venture into affiliate marketing, you need to decide first which area interest you. What products do you know the most and which products you could do the best job of selling? Once you discover your specialty, perseverance, patience, determination comes next. These are the qualities you should possessed to be a good affiliate marketer.

Too many online business prospectors lose out because they become impatient. You also have to know what your strengths are, the things in which you are good at and your capabilities and abilities related to your chosen streak. And the most important thing is you have to have a strong desire to succeed in affiliate marketing. To be an affiliate marketer is not an easy task. You have to learn the techniques of marketing your product or service. You shouldn't be looking at every chance because marketing is all about attracting you to look at this or that particular opportunity. To be a successful affiliate marketer, you should learn how to listen and to be taught because in life we need to learn skills to get by.

For an affiliate marketer, you should know how to market your site effectively, in will enable you to get thousands of visitors coming to your site which transforms into more sales. This only means that the faster you set up a website, the bigger your chances of making money online faster. You should avoid the same mistakes some affiliates make everyday, they are only building a short-term business where they just make a small sale. Make sure you do understand that you should be building a long-term affiliate business and not just something that makes you a few dollars on one sale.

It is also better to have knowledge on how to upsell your visitors for expensive services. This will in turn make you become recognized as an expert in your field and making money will be easier. There are some people thinks that just by having affiliate links on their website will bring them good profits. This can have some truth to it, but then most successful affiliates still believe that making use of strong marketing campaigns for their affiliate programs is still important. But affiliate marketers become much more successful when they treat their customers or online visitors as friends. Make a commitment to establish relationships with your customers and especially with visitors to your site. It is very important for an affiliate marketer to have a good business relationship with customers or visitors.

The third is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of promoting only one product. Consequently, customers are not given enough options to choose from. There is also the risk of generating fewer sales as compared to having more options for customers ponder about. It is always better to give them a few better alternatives than to give them only one.The fourth is that there are affiliates who make the mistake of promoting too many products. As a result, customers are confused and end up beyond making a choice. It is perhaps good to give them only the best choices. This is because it is ultimately up to them to judge which one is the best for them to patronize.All in all, affiliates that are doomed to fail in this business are those who do not exert enough effort to understand everything involved in the industry that they are in. Knowing their path step by careful step will prove to be beneficial to them, as there is no other way to succeed than to go through any path slowly but surely.

Testimonial Examples

By Brian D. McEvoy

Many marketers are seeing the benefits of adding text, audio and even video testimonials to their websites. The power of using examples from satisfied clients can be quite amazing.

The use of unique testimonial examples from previous customers that have realized your product or service to be beneficial, is very compelling and makes a statement to your traffic visiting your site like nothing else can do.

Buyers remorse is something you need to be aware of in today's market as nobody likes buying something that they later regret. This is where using testimonial examples on your website can help the buying decision and to remove any doubt from a potential customers mind.

People who buy online want to feel that they not only can trust the product, but also trust the business or person that is marketing the product. If there is no trust established, then the consumers will most often not buy.

What testimonial examples will do is allow the consumer to put their trust in the product or service and ultimately, in you. When a person is declaring to the world that the product is great and has all of the benefits that can be expected, then the person that is visiting your website feels in a safer position to purchase the product.

When someone is trying to make a buying decision and experiences the testimonials of others on someone's website, this can be the deciding factor in converting a prospect into a sale. Many online marketers are using testimonial examples today, to generate more conversions than ever before.

It's easy to get testimonials, especially if you have a great product or service. Just ask for feedback from existing customers. If they send a photograph you can use too, then you really have a winner.

It's surprising how often a satisfied customer is delighted to tell the whole world about it.

You really should be using testimonial examples to help promote your product or service as they are great marketing tools. Try to use them to overcome any doubts in your prospects mind. Start doing this today and you'll really see your profits dramatically improve.

How To Get Testimonials - The Easy Way

By Brian D. McEvoy

If you're reading this you already know that adding testimonials to your website is going to dramatically improve your profits. But how do you get them and make the most of them?

Let's look at 7 key methods you can use to get them

1) Ask - no harm in asking. Your customers won't mind and there's nothing wrong with seeking feedback. They may even appreciate the fact that you care about them and took the trouble to find out what they thought of the product or service you offered.

2) Why not give away some free review copies? If your product is new this can be a great way to get positive feedback. A true testimonial is from a paying customer but when you're just starting you won't have any. So giving away review copies in return for comments is your best option.

3) You could make it part of the deal. Just make it clear before anyone buys that you need their feedback shortly afterwards. Be honest about it, tell them why you want it and if it's a great product then I'm sure they will be happy to oblige.

4) Offer a bonus in return for feedback. I'm not talking about bribing someone for a testimonial. That is completely unethical and you should never do it. If you're found out you would lose all credibility in your marketplace. I mean you offer a small bonus in return for completion of a feedback form. You may not always get positive feedback, but just the good ones as your testimonials.

5) Ask your current clients to be beta-testers. You already have a relationship with your clients and they will love to know that they are getting their hands on something brand new, ahead of the general public. They'll feel special because of this and you can be sure, if the product is good, you'll get some great reviews.

6) Pay Per Click Ads. Why not run a very targeted campaign to give away complimentary copies of your product in return for some feedback? This is a great technique if you don't have any existing clients who can beta-test. A carefully worded advert will get you great visitors, falling over themselves to give you feedback.

7) Hold a competition. My favorite method for getting great testimonials and one I have seen used by many other successful marketers - hold a competition. If you had a weight-loss product and held a regular competition, every month or year for the customer who lost the most weight, do you think you'd get some great testimonials? Every month you're going to get fantastic results and people just love to include photos of what they used to look like and the much slimmer version!

Now you know how to get testimonials there should be nothing stopping you. Add them to your site and see your online sales improve.

Know The Answers with the Four Ps of Marketing

By Linda P. Morton

The concept of marketing has evolved and changed over time, but there are certain strategies that are tried and true marketing principles. One such principle is the four ps of marketing approach.

This article provides 20 questions. If you take the time to think about them and answer them in as much detail as possible, it will stimulate your business and help you avoid marketing mistakes.

The four ps of marketing are product, package, price and promotion.

Four Ps Of Marketing: 1. Product Determines The Rest Of Your Marketing

The product is what makes you money. And how well you market your product determines how much money. A good product puts you on the path to building a good business.

Your product is the most important part of your business. It partially determines your markeing and how much profit you get. Ask yourself these questions regarding your product:

1. Who is the target consumer?

2. How well does its features provide target market members' desired benefits?

3. Does your product have something that competing products do not?

4. How does your product compare with buying trends, experiences?

5. How intense is the desire for your product?

6. Can the demand of the product meet the supply on hand?

7. What is the time period that the desire will be expressed?

8. What inventory is needed for the product to meet demands?

When you know about your product, you're ready to decide how to package it.

Four Ps Of Marketing: 2. Packaging Can Give Your A Marketing Advantage

Once you know the product, how will you package it to the consumer? There is a saying that you don't judge a book by its cover, well people do and when the packaging of a product does not match what the consumer wants, they move on. It's the 10 second sale, and it has to be done right.

Your packaging contributes to cost. The right package can save you money in distribution and eliminate having to replace damaged products.

Asking yourself these questions will help:

9. Will the package catch the attention of the consumer?

10. Are the dimensions of the packaging appropriate for the product?

11. Is the product protected within the packaging?

12. Is there too much packaging or is it too bulky?

Now you're ready to consider pricing your product.

Four Ps Of Marketing: 3. Your Product, Packaging and Market Should Determine Your Price

You'll also need to answer four price questions before making a final price decision.

13. Does the price of the product match the demand of the product?

14. As supply increases, how much does cost per unit decrease?

15. How does your price decrease as volume increases?

16. What is the most affordable price of the product in relation to volume discounts and costs?

Only after you've answered all the questions on product, package and price are you ready to consider what many small business owners consider "marketing."

Four Ps Of Marketing: 4. Promotion Decisions Base on All Your Prior Decisions

To sell the product, you need to promote it. If you don't promote it properly, you want benefit from the full volume of demand.

The remaining four questions will then leverage your marketing strategy and tactics.

17. How much do should you spend on different promotion tactics?

18. How well does your promotion mix match your business' other marketing practices?

19. How well does your promotion mix match your product, and its stage in the product life cycle?

20. Does your promotion match the needs and desires of the target consumer?

After you've answered these last four questions, you'll be ready to develop a marketing plan.

Four Ps Of Marketing: Synopsis

By answering these questions, you will be able to learn to get the product from conception to sold.

Knowing the answers to these questions means you will have a much better chance of selling it to your target market.

Insights on Global and Domestic Marketing

By Linda P. Morton

The world is every changing and dynamic, but even with all our technologies at our disposal, people still differ. Those differences can be economic, cultural, demographical, global or domestic and it causes a lot of problems for business owners who want to market their products to people across the globe.

The principles of marketing may be very similar, but the marketing research technique that is commonly used to target a market requires national and cultural specific characteristics.

Using market segmentation to determine values, concerns, and attitudes of target market members requires market research specific to each nation and groups of people within each nation.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Targets Different Types of People

USA market segmentation concentrates on demographics, psychographics and buying behavior. But the information provided by these characteristics doesn't cross borders.

It's difficult enough to market across cultures within the USA, but the difficulty intensifies when marketing across nations.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Demographics Change Across Borders

Once you have left the United States, market segmentation criteria vary from nation to nation. Each country is defined by a different history and culture. Marketing using a hockey player works in Canada, but it won't work in Morocco.

The World War II generation in the USA was influenced by the second world war just like most people in the Western world. However, the influence of Pearl Harbor on the USA WWII generation was greater than for those in the rest of the world.

If a business plans one campaign for the world around characteristics for USA markets, the campaign will fail in the rest of the world.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Psychographic Segments Differ

People's attitudes, morals, values, concerns, and expectations vary by nations. They result from each nation's culture, history, experiences, and social expectations. Different nations vary by what they teach in their schools, what they expect within families, the role of established religion, and the type of government.

What is valued in one nation may be considered abhorrent by another, and these attitudes can change over time.

For example, religious freedom is a basic right in the USA. We consider forcing a certain religion on a person to be abhorrent. Yet, in other nations, governments and powerful people force their religious perspective on others even to the point of murdering those who don't accept their religion.

So psychographic characteristics like attitudes, values, and concerns change drastically across borders.

Global and Domestic Marketing: People's Buying Preferences Vary

Because each nation's economy is based and distributed differently, what people can afford and what they value enough to spend their money on changes across nations.

But spending preferences go beyond people's ability to buy. It is closely tied to culture, social pressure, ideas of success and many other nationally specific characteristics.

Buying differences apply to basic needs as much as they do to discretionary products. In many nations, people buy groceries a day at a time from local markets.

But in the USA, we buy from large chains that freeze, can, dehydrate and process in other ways so that food lasts for a long time. Then we buy at least enough for a week at a time, and some people buy for a month at a time. We think shopping everyday would be a terrible inconvenience and that we are just too busy with our careers and family to spend that much time buying groceries.

People in some nations probably think that USA residents have their priorities messed up to avoid spending their time buying and preparing fresh, healthy foods.

If we are so different in the way we purchase survival products like food, how much more different are we when it comes to buying other products.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Summary

Developing a marketing campaign for the people in one nation and trying to transfer that campaign to another nation doesn't work.

Successful marketing campaigns must be redesigned for each nation. This requires that marketers have to learn as much as possible about people in each nation.

But the sad truth is that little nation-specific information about people's characteristics is being developed. And much of what is developed remains proprietary. If we are to improve every nation's ability to advance economically, we must accumulate and share this information. Only then will global and domestic marketing provide equal chances of success.

Small Business Lead Generation Strategies Explained

By Jeff Paro

Lead generation is the act of getting suspects (people that you 'think' may want your product or service) to 'raise' their hands so you can actively market to them.

Getting someone with a specific need to know, like and trust you is the Duct Tape Marketing definition of "Marketing". Effectively identifying those people with that need is lead generation.

When it comes to lead generation, there is no one hit wonder. The idea is to develop 10-20 lead generation strategies all based around a core marketing message and offer.

In Duct Tape Marketing lingo, think of it like Duct tape, the more layers you apply the stronger it becomes.

The 3 best lead generation vehicles are Public Relations, Advertising and Referral Marketing.

What is the definition of Public Relations? "Getting positive mention of you or your company in newspapers, magazines, news shows, newsletters, websites and journals read by some portion of your target market"-according to John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing.

Advertising: Unfortunately, most small business owners shy away from direct advertising because they feel it is too expensive and doesn't work. That is usually because they are using a 'copy cat' marketing or 'ostrich' (don't do anything and hope for the best) marketing strategy. When done properly advertising is seldom matched for quickly generating a flood of new business.

The duct tape marketing definition of Referral Marketing is: a specific set of strategies and tools designed to bring the small business owner new clients, qualified leads and repeat business without the aid of, or in addition to, other advertising methods.

In my next article we will dive deeper into each one of these lead generation strategies and give you some help tips on how you can implement them into your business.

How to Build a Successful Network Marketing Business

By Rob Pike

In addition to all of the conventional ways to expand your network marketing business, you will also want to pull out all of the stops and use less-conventional, smaller, and harder-to-apply methods for finding new members for your network. For instance, if you started off by selling your product as an Internet-based network marketer, you probably haven't done any offline presentations at all. Nor have you probably put much thought into offline promotional methods.

This creates an interesting issue: while it is much easier and often less expensive to advertise online, if you're advertising an Internet-based network online, the online market will probably be heavily saturated; whereas the offline market may have never been exposed to it at all.

One way in which you can advertise to the offline market is to create a cleanly designed flyer and post it in various public places where it is permissible. Remember to use the problem-solution model. Start off by targeting people who have a problem (i.e. people who need extra money) and then explain who, using several bullet points, they can solve that problem by joining your network.

Another way in which you can advertise offline is to design and purchase a box of business cards for your network marketing opportunity. Having your name on a business card for what appears to be a legitimate opportunity is one of the best ways you can look professional and trustworthy, which is unbelievably important in this specific market. You can then distribute these business cards to people you meet at seminars; and you can also even leave them at businesses, provided that they allow you to do so.

Last, you can also make an attempt to become a speaker at an offline seminar event. This will help you to gain credibility and also to begin creating interest in your specific methods of networking and promotion.

Focus on Leadership in Your Network Marketing Business

By Rob Pike

In an industry where many people are fighting nail-and-tooth to earn more money in any way possible, leadership by example is indeed a rare find. Network marketers are far more likely to tell downlines something that will make them stick around than something that will ensure their success. This is especially true when they have heard of some new technique that theoretically could work, even though they haven't yet tested it for themselves.

This leaves you with a wide open opportunity to gain a competitive advantage: by simply embracing leadership by example, you can immediately do something almost none of your competitors-either within the company or selling for another company-will ever even think of doing.

One of the best ways to lead by example in network marketing is to setup various initiatives. For instance, one month, you could pick some specific type of advertisement and then thoroughly train every person in your downline on the advantages of using it; and the best way in which they can use it. You can then run a campaign yourself, record your results and methods, and send it to your entire downline.

Working closely with your downline will not only help them to improve how they do certain things, but it will also embolden them to stick around and to promote you to their friends, who might be on the fence, trying to decide whether or not your opportunity is legitimate.

So make this your new goal: always lead by example. Show your downline what to do and what not to do-and most importantly, make sure you have already done it yourself and know that it works. If you lead by example, everyone else has a chance to benefit and to help you in return; if you lead with theoretical ideas, you might help someone, but it will most likely be accidental.

How to Recruit Downlines for Your Network Marketing Business

By Rob Pike

In the past, network marketing was something done completely offline. If network marketers advertised at all, they would do it with flyers or with classified ads in newspapers. Unlike marketers today, they had no opportunity to reach massive amounts of people at a very low price.

Today, you can reach network leads through dozens of different outlets-many of them Internet-based. Additionally, there are companies that now specialize in extracting highly-targeted leads for this exact purpose.

One quick way in which you can recruit network leads is to setup a "squeeze page," which captures names and email addresses - and then send traffic to it. Once leads sign up through the squeeze page to join your mailing list, you can then send them a training course, which teaches them the various ways in which they can make money with a network marketing program. You can then make subtle attempts to get them to join your own network in several of the emails.

Another way in which you can recruit network leads to fill your downline is to send out mailings through e-zine advertisements. This is one of the fastest ways in which you can immediately reach tens of thousands of people with very little effort.

Additionally, you can use forums to recruit members for your downline. You can make useful posts on Internet marketing forums frequently; and then use a signature file that gives a brief overview of your network marketing opportunity.

Another way in which you can build a downline is to use free advertisements. If you have a low budget, you could accumulate credits on a traffic exchange or banner exchange program; and then use that to get your advertisement placed on various exchange sites. This is a relatively effective and easy way to increase the amount of people who join your mailing list through your squeeze page.

How to Increase Downlines and Reduce Drop Outs

By Rob Pike

One important part of network marketing is what's called "downline retention." You can view this similarly to how you would view traffic generation: you can take two approaches-you can either recycle traffic, so that it comes back; or you can constantly pump fresh traffic into the site. Ideally, however, you want both mechanisms to be working, as that will not only generate more traffic, but it will also keep more traffic on your site. This is true with network marketing.

At this point, however, you have a rough idea of how to gain that new traffic; and further, how to convert that traffic into members of your network. The next step is to retain those new members by training them and reducing dropouts-which go hand-in-hand.

You should start by developing some type of course, which starts by covering the absolute basics of network marketing-and the moves to the more complex, harder-to-understand parts. Additionally, if your goal is to retain network members, you shouldn't attempt excessive upselling in your course. Rather, only suggest what you believe is absolutely necessary; and only what you believe will affect the best possible results for someone who is either an average or below average network marketer.

Now, in addition to producing a course, you may also want to create a manual of some sort. You can send this to each member of your network immediately upon joining. This can be a more comprehensive field guide that directs them through any potential problem they run into as a new network marketer.

Last, you will want to make yourself accessible to everyone whoever needs help. You might offer your email address to all of your new network members in a personal email you send to everyone; or you might even allow them to contact you by phone. These are all considerations you want to make, as the more accessible you are, the more trusted you will be; and the more likely people are to take your advice and stick around.

How Global And Domestic Marketing Differ

By Linda P. Morton

Global and domestic marketing varies considerably because people differ by countries.

Some companies use a one-size-fits-all marketing approach. This approach is doomed to fail because what people in one culture like, another those in another nation abhor.

Using market segmentation to determine values, concerns, and attitudes of target market members requires market research specific to each nation and groups of people within each nation.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Consider Differences In People By Nations

The market segment of the United States is dependent on many different factors, ranging from the demographics of the public to what the public needs, want and will buy. But information about USA publics doesn't apply in different nations.

Even with USA residents, culture differs by national origin. Yet, most USA residents have been somewhat assimilated into the USA culture. So differences intensify across borders.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Demographic Characteristics Vary By Nation and Culture

In addition, many market segmentation criteria change from nation to nation. For example, generations are influenced by cultural and historical events they experience. Some of those events may be similar across nations, but they are not experienced the same.

The World War II generation in the USA was influenced by the second world war just like most people in the Western world. However, the influence of Pearl Harbor on the USA WWII generation was greater than for those in the rest of the world.

So you can't take characteristics that best define a USA generation and transfer those characteristics world wide.

Global and Domestic Marketing: People From Different Nations Think Differently

Psychographic characteristics also differ by nations. For one reason, culture, morals, values and attitudes are learned within a society. Different nations develop different social pressures and expectations. They teach different values and attitudes within families and schools.

What is considered "good" in one nation may be considered "bad" in another.

For example, it was once common for USA Caucasian families to teach their children that African or Black Americans were inferior and should be treated as such. Some organizations like the Klu Klux Klan even regularly practiced murdering and torturing Blacks and got away with it. And this was after World War I when the Nazis were considered abhorrent for their racial hatred.

So psychographic characteristics like attitudes, values, and concerns change drastically across borders.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Buying Behaviors Differ

Each nation's economic well-being influences buying habits of its citizens.

But spending preferences go beyond people's ability to buy. It is closely tied to culture, social pressure, ideas of success and many other nationally specific characteristics.

For example, people buy even the most basic needs according to buying habits within their nations. Many buy groceries daily from local "farmer's markets."

But in the USA, we buy from large chains that freeze, can, dehydrate and process in other ways so that food lasts for a long time. Then we buy at least enough for a week at a time, and some people buy for a month at a time. We think shopping everyday would be a terrible inconvenience and that we are just too busy with our careers and family to spend that much time buying groceries.

People in some nations probably think that USA residents have their priorities messed up to avoid spending their time buying and preparing fresh, healthy foods.

If we are so different in the way we purchase survival products like food, how much more different are we when it comes to buying other products.

Global and Domestic Marketing: Conclusion

Marketing campaigns can not be successfully transferred from one nation to another.

International marketing demands that a unique marketing program be created for each nation and that marketers know characteristics of the people in each nation.

Unfortunately, there is little systematic research being accumulated and shared with business owners about people in other nations. As the world gets smaller and the Internet gets larger, that has to change. We must do a better job of global and domestic marketing.

Practicing Your Phone Presentation

By Rob Pike

One critical component of any successful network marketing downline expansion campaign is the rehearsal of your presentation. Now, this does not mean that you should impersonally contact all of your leads and talk to them as if they are objects. Rather, it means that you should have a duplicable, yet compelling set of reasons for why they should adopt your program.

Now, this is important: many people will immediately resist any type of offer - especially the offer to join a marketing network, which is often perceived to be a scam. This is why you have to have answers to points of resistance ready in advance. Unless you're quick on your feet, chances are you will be unable to respond to many issues that leads raise about your program or about your offer. Instead, figure out what these are in advance and record more of them as you go along.

Now, in addition to this, you will want a general format to follow. You can start by introducing yourself and the product; you can then move on to a problem-solution model, whereby you pull a problem out of them-something they have experienced recently-- and then propose a solution using your product, whether you're presenting the product itself or the networking opportunity.

Practicing these two parts-the presentation itself and the answers to potential problems and questions-are hands-down the most important parts of network marketing. If you flounder around on the phone or if you make your presentation in a completely unprofessional way, your target audience is almost guaranteed to reject you as being an amateur.

Remember: you're not only selling the product; you're also selling your image. If your target audience suspects that you have had no success with the program yourself-and it is evident in your lack of confidence-how can you then expect them to pick up the program, too? The answer is that you can't.

So practice your phone call routine, your answers to questions, and your presentation until you have them all memorized.

How to Build a Successful Network Marketing Business

By Rob Pike

In addition to all of the conventional ways to expand your network marketing business, you will also want to pull out all of the stops and use less-conventional, smaller, and harder-to-apply methods for finding new members for your network. For instance, if you started off by selling your product as an Internet-based network marketer, you probably haven't done any offline presentations at all. Nor have you probably put much thought into offline promotional methods.

This creates an interesting issue: while it is much easier and often less expensive to advertise online, if you're advertising an Internet-based network online, the online market will probably be heavily saturated; whereas the offline market may have never been exposed to it at all.

One way in which you can advertise to the offline market is to create a cleanly designed flyer and post it in various public places where it is permissible. Remember to use the problem-solution model. Start off by targeting people who have a problem (i.e. people who need extra money) and then explain who, using several bullet points, they can solve that problem by joining your network.

Another way in which you can advertise offline is to design and purchase a box of business cards for your network marketing opportunity. Having your name on a business card for what appears to be a legitimate opportunity is one of the best ways you can look professional and trustworthy, which is unbelievably important in this specific market. You can then distribute these business cards to people you meet at seminars; and you can also even leave them at businesses, provided that they allow you to do so.

Last, you can also make an attempt to become a speaker at an offline seminar event. This will help you to gain credibility and also to begin creating interest in your specific methods of networking and promotion.

If you are wondering how article marketing works, it's simple. Articles that are written should contain a balanced amount of keywords in order to drive traffic to the first the article, then the rest of the website. The keywords used should be common to what a person would type into a search engine while still making sense to the content of the article.

Many marketers depend solely on article marketing to get traffic to their website because it works and it works consistently. This is the best way to leave your footprint on the internet-get articles to reach out to new traffic.

If you want the most powerful advertising tool on the internet, you will want to use article marketing. Article marketing is a way to get your name out there, bring people to your site, and see how you can turn a little website into a goldmine.

Is It Possible To Still Generate Income Off Of Google Ads?

By Ioannis Mitrou

Google ads used to be one of the top ways to generate income on the internet. All you had to do was put up some ads and get people to click on them. With the internet constantly changing and evolving, this method has dropped significantly from where it was. But it is still possible to generate income from Google ads.

There are a few things you can do to increase your chances of having success with this method. It is not as easy as it used to be because now there is a great deal of strategy involved. Everything from what style of text you use to the placement of the ads can make or break your ad campaign.

Obviously the goal is to convince people to buy something, which can be one by generating clicks. It is your goal to give people as much information as possible in as few of characters as possible. With Google ads, the headline is a mere 25 characters while the body is just 35 characters. This gives you a minimal amount of space to say what you want to say.

The headline should have the exact keywords you are targeting within it. If you are targeting the keywords home business, a fitting headline could be "starting a home business." You want to include the keywords exactly as people search for them in the search engines. Make the headline as relevant as possible and people will see clicks.

While the headline is the first thing people look at, you do still have the body to provide information as well. This is where you can give just a little more information to intrigue prospects. Your best bet is to give the prospect the product's feature and why it will fill their needs. Anything beyond this will be too much information.

In addition to the features and how it will fill their needs, include the benefits. The benefits can go hand in hand with how it will fill their needs. There is no sense on clicking on an ad if it does not relate to the prospect. You want your ads to relate to every target prospect you have. But remember, you only have 35 characters to get this done.

It is certainly a challenge putting together an effective Google ad with the amount of characters you are given. By including the keywords in the headline and providing the features and benefits in the body, you will be on your way to a successful ad. But make sure it is clever if you truly want to receive clicks.

Strategies to Optimize Article Marketing

By Jeremy Blackburn

Everyone who runs a website, business, or blog online wants to have success. And success is determined with traffic stats. If you want to bring in ten times the amount of traffic you are currently getting, you will want to consider using article marketing. Article marketing is the key to a successful website on the internet.

Most internet surfers are hip to all the advertising games. They know which strategies will only distract them from what they are looking for, so they avoid these. With article marketing you are giving these surfers the information that they way with the option of visiting your site to learn more. And if you are using quality content in your articles, most people that see them will want to go to your website.

If you want to learn how to start writing articles for your website, you will want to check out some other sites that already use these types of advertising strategies. Articles are easily found on a variety of websites, and all you need is a simpler internet search to find them. In fact, this is the main point for article marketing-getting your site to show up on some of the most popular internet keyword searches.

One of the most important qualities of article marketing is that you have good articles and that you also have many articles. The more people that you can reach with an article, the more traffic you will bring to your site. The more articles you have out on the internet, the larger your scope will be. This is important when you are trying to run a business on your website.

Article marketing is the sole advertising strategy that has a history of consistently working well. Some people do not even bother using any other way of advertising for their site, and they are very successful. This is why so many people with websites use article marketing in order to drive traffic to their site. It works, and it works well. There is no question about it.

With the articles that represent your website, you are showing to those who see it that you are an expert at what you do. They want to know that they are being sent to a website that will give them all the answers, and how to do that is to put your energy in article marketing in order to get them to your site. Once they are at your site, you must provide them with the quality products and services that they are looking for.

SEO (or search engine optimization) is an important concept to learn when you are branching out into article marketing. Make sure the article is working for you-include all those keywords that will let people find your articles. The more keywords, the better chance of your article being found on the first page of results.

Article marketing is the only solution you will need if you have trouble bringing traffic to your website. Article Marketing works because it shows that your are knowledgeable about your topic, and that you are not trying to hit everyone over the head with blatant advertising.

What do you think of customers being drawn to you like a Magnet?

By Scott Nelson

Dan Kennedy is known in business and marketing circles as the "millionaire maker". His fame comes from his results. He takes his clients and shows them step by step how to take and idea and turn it into money.

Entrepreneur Magazine says Dan Kennedy has 101 money making ideas for any business owner. One of the things that make Dan unique is his ability to take his principles and apply them to any industry or business. He currently works with clients in over 50 different businesses, industries and professions. In any given year, he'll earn $250,000 plus in a single month just providing direct-response and direct marketing advice and strategy.

Kennedy's clients include everything from sole entrepreneurs to huge corporations. Here are just a few examples - there's the husband-and-wife couple who came to Dan with an idea, a mountain of debt, and failing advertising. Less than two years later, they have zero debt and a home-based mail-order business generating over 200 000.00 a month at about a 40% profit margin.

On the other hand there is Dan's marketing consultations with billion dollar information marketing company Guthy Renker. Dan helped U.S. Gold increase its revenues by millions. The list goes on and on.

Dan taught me the principle of total customer value. Basically, Dan stressed that it easier and faster and ultimately more profitable to focus on developing the existing relationships with current customers.

The thing that made the biggest difference in turning around our business was learning about what it meant to give excellent customer service and to set out to doing those things consistently. This means dealing with the customers in all states of emotion. Customers are just easier to deal with when everything goes the way they want it. The fact is that things don't always please them. So customer service is really about managing the times when they aren't happy. It is a much harder skill to master but with the potential for great rewards. The goal is to take the difficulty and grow customer loyalty by how you handle it.

It is no surprise that customers can complain about any number of things. It could be the product, prices, or your service. Also, even when all those things are excellent, some customers just find things to gripe about. Whatever happens, avoid the temptation to simply ignore them. Instead own up to the problem and calm the situation by:

Thanking them. Even if they made a comment in way which was impolite, thank them anyway. Do not play the victim and take any of this personally. Remain calm and composed.

Beginning your phrase with, "Let me see if I understand you completely." Then restate the complaint of the customer. This accomplishes two things. First, it gives the customer pause and a moment to calm down. Second, it shows that you are listening and taking their concerns seriously.

Finding at the very least one thing in their complaints that you agree with. It doesn't matter how unfounded their complaint is in your mind, you should pick out one major point you agree with. Build your response around that point. For instance: "Well, Mr. Johnson, I can totally relate to you being upset about the late delivery. I will make sure that it doesn't happen again. Now, about your other concerns. This shows them you are not defensive about the situation, and you are not interested in making excuses, but solving the problem.

Solving the customer's problem. The client picks a fight, not to fight, but to be heard and make you understand that there is a problem. It's your role to play along and stay locked in on solving the problem. These situations handled correctly are when true customer loyalty is build. Success here adds to your total customer value and your profits.

I will tell you without hesitation that these techniques saved my business. I knew nothing about total customer value and what it meant to my bottom line. The understanding of the importance of TCV will make you stronger in customer service all by itself. Dan's "Magnetic Marketing" is the ultimate resource for marketing principles that work to change the fortunes of your business, fast. It is these simple, low cost to no cost strategies, which make the biggest difference. Before Magnetic Marketing, I was ignorant to these concepts.

He lets the customer try the program for 1 year with a full money back guarantee with a promise that there won't be any hassles if it isn't for you. If you are just starting out, or if you have been at it awhile with dud results, it is well worth checking out. Maybe Dan Kennedy is the right teacher at the right time. He was in my case.

I am not a fan of trying to be a pioneer in a field where there is so much saturation of information and strategies. It only leave me shot up and full of arrows. When I picked the right teacher, the one who makes people money again and again, my fortunes turned. It totally pays to stop guessing and to simply copy the way people are making money.

Some Campaign Management Secrets of Google AdWords

By Maxine Stirling

Managing a Google AdWords campaign can be tricky, but there are some fundamental tips that you can use in order to increase your chances of success. The following is a breakdown of a few of the tips you can use in order to maximize your Google AdWords pay per click campaign efforts.

One of the first things you can do in your Google AdWords campaign is to make use of keyword optimization. You can start this process by doing your homework and limiting your keywords. Then, filter out searches that you know have a very poor conversion rate by instituting negative keywords into your keyword selections.

Creating brand awareness can be an important part of many people's campaign. If this is true for you, then you may want to consider a cost-per-impression campaign instead of just relying on the tradition cost-per-click method. With a cost-per-impression campaign, you ads will appear on websites that your potential customers frequently view. This particular Google AdWords campaign management strategy can be a cost-effective way to increase your brand awareness within specific industry circles.

If you are extremely confident in your website's ability to sell your products and/or services, and simply want to cast the widest possible net, then consider maximizing your keywords. One of the simplest ways to do this is simply by adding the plural and singular version of keywords that you are already making use of. If you sell laptops then include the singular form (laptop) and the plural form (laptops). Of course, you should probably be more specific than this unless you want to spend a small fortune on one days' worth of clicks.

One other important Google AdWords Campaign Management tactic to employ is limiting your daily spending budget. If you don't cap your budget on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, then a PPC advertising campaign can get out of control quickly. Make sure you allot yourself a certain marketing budget and then stick to it. You should never have to increase your budget on the fly in order to get clicks. If you aren't getting clicks with a small budget, don't count on an increased budget to fix the problem. After all, zero (or close to zero) times anything is still zero. Take a step back at the end of the budgetary period and re-evaluate your strategy.

These Google AdWords campaign management techniques can help you increase the efficiency of your campaign without stretching your budget too thin. Depending on the goals of your campaign, these strategies can be very effective.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office is an extremely useful,helpful and powerful part of the most effective program in the industry. As you establish yourself within The SpiderWeb Marketing System, you will become very familiar with the Back Office. It is a tool that we've created to help you be successful in this program, and a majority of your efforts in the system will be done through it.

If your experience has been anything like mine, you may have struggled a bit. I was not much good on the phone, I didn't know enough about the business to train anyone, I was not good at training. Perhaps, like me, you engaged in some of the classic, yet often futile techniques of MLM. I attended boring company training events, I passed out Flyers, I placed "Sizzle Cards" on gas station pumps and windshields, I contacted old high school friends who I had not seen or talked to in years and told them I wanted to "re-connect" over lunch, I made 100 cold calls a day to my "Hot Opportunity Seeker Leads". And I just didn't find the success I desired. But The SpiderWeb Marketing System overcomes those problems, in great measure by the Back Office.

The SpiderWeb Marketing System Back Office gives you something you can use to actually help your business grow. It gives you a home base in the program. It makes the SpiderWeb System real to you: something you can see, use, and rely on. In so many other systems, you sign up, pay your fee, and end up floating out in MLM space trying to figure it all out, with nothing to ground you to the system. With the Back Office, you are actually in The SpiderWeb Marketing System. Its easy to get with the program when you are part of the program.

Its sole reason for existing is to make your business success easier for you to accomplish. In the Back Office, you have access to The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series. Everything you need to know about how to operate effectively within The SpiderWeb Marketing System is available to you through The SpiderWeb Marketing System Video Series, which will walk you through every step to set up and maximize your system and bring the money in.

Another extremely useful tool is the Prospect Manager. This is the best way to keep track of everything that is happening within your spiderweb program. You can find out the status of all prospects, where they came from, and what have been your most successful strategies for generating leads.

Among other features, you will also find a list of your referral links, website visitor tracker, task manager, and calendar, to mention just a few. One of my favorite features is the SpiderZone forum, which I will discuss another time.

You won't find a system or Back Office this comprehensive in any business program. As I have mentioned, we are committed to providing the very best marketing System in the industry, and that philosophy permeates through everything we do, including the Back Office. It is a powerful key that will help you open the door to the success you deserve.

You can get your own Back Office today, by signing up for the free system now. Check it out at www.toddschuyler.ws.

By Todd Schuyler

The buzz is all over the internet about this promotion that the SelfBank Mobile BankingCompany is using to launch their new mobile banking system to the world. What is the Selfbank Mobile Promotion? It is incredible what they are going to give away.

How much are they going to give away. Try 100 million bucks! SelfBank Mobile is giving away 100 million dollars worth of Loyalty Merchant Store Credit. Credits are actual dollar for dollar cash value that can be redeemed at any of our local, national and international online and offline Loyalty Merchants.

How much of the 100 million dollars do you want? It's up to you. You earn 100 dollars for signing up and activating your free SelfBank Mobile user account. That's right free. This mobile banking technology is known as M-Commerce. M-Commerce is forecasted to be 10 times as large as E-Commerce.

That's not all. You earn 100 dollars for everyone you refer who signs up and activates their free SelfBank Account. Plus the people you refer get 100 dollars too! Remember it is 100 dollars to be used as cash value to shop at your store of your choice from the Loyalty Merchants Stores. Does this too good to be true?

The amazing part about this M-Commerce technology is the ease and operation of the selfbank mobile banking system. Go to their official site for more free information and to sign up for your free selfbank user account. You will earn 100 dollars cash value! Refer you family, neighbor or friends and it can add up. Their official site explains all the exciting details.

Oh one more thing. Selfbank mobile is free to sign up and free to use. There are no monthly fees. Here is a special upgrade value for the money. Selfbank offers a upgraded Merchany account. It is only 50 bucks plus tax a month. If you refer someone as a merchant account user you get 500 dollars cash value per person. Unbelievable. Again please refer to the official site for details.

It is very easy to sign up. If you have any questions email me at todd@bankonthephone.com and I will guide you through the steps. It's in the pre launch stage right now with a projected worldwide launch towards the end of the year. Now is the time to sign up and grow your downline.

Here is my favorite part of the selfbank mobile banking package. I can get a percentage of all the purchases my referers make on their selfmobile account. And it goes down two levels. If I refer 100 people who sign and they refer 100 each I get a percentage of all the puchases from everyone I refer and and everyone they refer!

Another great feature of the Merchant account is this. Say you are a business owner or store or whatever and you get an account. You will be charged a half percent not 2 or 2 percent like normal credit cards. They will save money and if they offer this free service to all their customers they will get a percentage of their purchase. And you get it too!
