The Right Approach To Marketing OnlineHow to maximize your chances of success with your online Business Gopal Dev
October 23, 2008
Internet Marketing has been around for sometime now, and is growing
at such an incredible rate that it often seems impossible to keep up.
It is therefore very important to start small when beginning your
marketing campaign and not get overwhelmed. Having success in Internet
marketing is no different from having success in other aspects of your
life whether professional or personal. They all require focus,
commitment, and most of all, the right attitude.
Here are a few useful tips that will help formulate your approach to promoting your business online.
1)
When promoting your business to targeted prospects online, do not
promote your business, at least not directly. Sound strange? Only
because it's not what we're used to. We've all been subjected to over
the top sales pitches whether in person or in the media. We've been
conditioned to think that is how sales should be done. It seems to be
the case everywhere and all the time, and the Internet is no different.
To be successful you must separate yourself from the herds of scripted
robots out there shoving their products down everyone's throats. The
best way is to take the opposite approach. That is what I do for my
business and trust me, it works. Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you, so to speak. Just relax and share ideas with people, not
just about business but on any number of subjects. If someone isn't
interested in doing business with you, that is perfectly fine. Your
interaction with them was not a waste and may bare fruit later on.
Never close doors.
The name of the game is relationships. I am involved
in a network marketing business. Network marketing has been around for
over 50 years and has proven to work time and again because it is built
uniquely on person-to-person connections. No promotion is better than
word of mouth. The best business is done when you've established a warm
and respectful rapport with your customers and partners. You need to
brand yourself as a knowledgeable leader and lead by example. There is
nothing wrong with being excited and totally enthusiastic about your
business (you better be if you want to have lasting success) but being
irritating and too ''in your face'' about it will most likely spell
certain doom.
2). Nobody knows everything with respect to
Internet marketing but there are quite a few ''Internet Gurus'' that we
can all learn from. You must have an insatiable appetite for knowledge
and always be open to learning new things from these teachers. Read and
apply everything you can get your eyes, ears, and hands on. The pros
never stop learning and sharing their new findings, so why shouldn't
the rest of us?
3). Never be afraid to try new things
online. Whether you are a novice at Internet marketing or an expert,
there are always new avenues to pursue online and a learning curve is
inevitable. Obviously the time frame for that learning curve varies on
each individual so don't view this as a race. Some strategies may work
better for you than for someone else and vice versa. Don't expect quick
answers and don't get discouraged. As long as you take action and see
whatever you begin through until the end and do it consistently you
will make progress. With the millions of websites and surfers on the
net it will take time to make your voice heard but it is totally
achievable. People do not succeed overnight so do not despair. Organize
and mobilize.
Asking yourself the following questions everyday will
help you succeed in marketing your business online:
1. How badly do you
want this to work?
2. Are you willing to sacrifice and do whatever it
takes to make this work?
3. Are you willing to do so consistently, even
when your efforts don't yield immediate results?
