Marketing Your
Business - How Do I Adapt To The Internet and Generate Income?
How does one start?
The way we do
business is changing rapidly. From VOIP, video conferencing, email
support, telephone answering services, and the internet. As a
business owner we are faced with hundreds of decisions our parents
and grandparents never had to contend with.
Some of you keep hearing from other business associates that internet
marketing is the greatest method of increasing business and building
a foundation for customer support. The only problem is, you've
just learned how to send emails to people! Never mind learning
about SEO, web design strategies, content analysis, pay per click,
ROI, etc!
Do you hire an SEO company or do you learn yourself?
Investing time into your company is what we business owners do
best but, in many cases, when it comes to learning new methods
we quickly open our wallets to anyone out there who seems like
the right person to help with your situation. This is the worst
possible decision you can make.
Diving into the internet marketing community with your wallet
open will result in a disaster if you aren't properly trained
on how to spend your money wisely. The key is not to hire an SEO
(Search Engine Optimization) company to take your money and promote
your business behind your back. Try finding someone who offers
you their "training services" in order to train yourself or someone
within your organization to learn more about what is required
online, how much effort it entails, and what pitfalls to avoid.
As a business owner, if you blindly search online and pick a company,
you have no idea what you could be getting yourself into. There
are no secrets to promoting your business online, only a lot of
hard work. That being said, anyone with a computer can easily
learn how to get their company high search engine rankings. Search
engines don't look to see whether or not you're running a scam.
No, they are concentrated on delivering relevant results for your
search terms.
Old Fashioned Marketing Tactics:
In the old days (and still practiced today), business owners would
devise their own marketing plan through print media, business
cards, postcards, flyers, brochures, newspapers, magazines, TV
ads, and radio ads. By doing this, the company could track their
results by trial and error and really find out what truly works
for their industry.
Old fashioned marketing is a simple trial and error process. So
is the internet. Unfortunately, all too many business owners don't
have a clue how to start their own internet marketing process
and they fail to even put their foot in the water. Instead, many
business owners simply hire anyone they can find that seems reputable
and then turn a blind eye and say; "Here's my budget, you are
the professional, you tell me what to do". This is simply preposterous.
You've worked so hard to get to where you are now by learning
and adapting and as soon as it comes to marketing your business
online, you simply shut down.
Don't be afraid to dive into the internet's vast realm of marketing
potential. So what if you fail the first time around. When we
started out, we had no idea what we were doing, 3 years later
our website ranks higher than many other internet marketing companies
world wide.
The ULTIMATE secret to internet marketing is simple...
A concept I call "T.I.M.E."
T - Try and try again
I - Internet changes all the time
M - Marketing opportunities are around every corner
E - Eventually you too can succeed
EXAMPLE: Think of it this way...
Here is a timeline of your internet marketing campaign:
Start date - Research only: June 7th
Hired a website designer - August 31st
Website Complete - October 15th
Website launch - October 20th
Started an internet marketing campaign - November 1st
Started a Pay Per Click campaign - November 10th
Made a sale - November 15th
Increased our website’s link popularity - January 1st
Increased our Pay Per Click campaign - January 20th
Made some changes to the website - February 21st
Increase the website’s link popularity - February 28th
Got listed in the Yahoo directory - March 3rd
Your link popularity is just starting to grow a little bit. Hopefully
you haven't tried to link to everyone you can find and are actually
linking to companies that are directly related to your business.
Your PPC campaign is doing good. People are finally starting to
come through MSN, Yahoo and Google search results. You can sometimes
find your company in the 200th spot within search results in MSN.com
and you are now wondering why this is taking so long.
Welcome to the world of marketing your company on the internet!
This timeline representation from above is just something to show
you how "T.I.M.E." is the key of success on the internet and all
we are required to do is keep plugging away and keep learning
more every chance we get.
For most people who simply open up their wallets, they would have
learned nothing in those 10 months and for everyone else starting
an internet marketing campaign, those who didn't simply just open
their wallets, their websites are probably 10 times further than
yours.
Learn more about how to increase your marketing campaign on the
internet. If you have to, hire someone in-house who can learn
for you and give you updates on everything. If you truly need
to hire an SEO company make sure it's for the right reasons like
"starting and finishing a marketing campaign with you learning
in the process", or "enhancing a campaign that is already in place",
or "to revise your website’s conversion rate" or "create a impactful
key word optimization campaign", etc. Take your time and use "T.I.M.E."
to increase your business slowly but effectively on the internet.
