When it comes to internet marketing, you need a plan of attack. This means that you need to have a consistent strategy that allows you to enter a niche and start seeing progress right away. The best way to come up with a good internet marketing plan is to write down your plans for the week.
Think of it as if you were preparing dinner for the week. On Monday you could have Chinese food. On Tuesday you could have pizza. On Wednesday you could eat tacos. On Thursday you could have steak and potatoes. On Friday you could go out to dinner. On Saturday you could eat rice and beans. And on Sunday you could organize a family dinner.
And all of these things happen each and every week without fail. You have to look at your internet business the same way too. For every day of the week, implement some marketing strategies. You should also have more than 1 strategy because at any time online a strategy might stop working for you, or it might work but it won’t work as effectively as you want.
If I were you, I’d start with something basic. On Monday I would post some PPC ads. On Tuesday do marketing forum. On Wednesday do some marketing on YouTube. On Thursday post to your blog and let search engines know you have new content by “pinging” your blog (pingomatic). On Friday create new content for your website. On Saturday write some articles and submit them to the article directories. And on Sunday, do some social media marketing.
All of these things are great ways to start planning for success in your business and should help you get on the right track for your internet marketing efforts. Once you complete the daily schedules, it’s time to put them into action. This is actually the easy part. Many people want to tell you what to do, but never show you HOW to do it.
This way they maintain a unique product that they offer you, without sharing any “secret” with you. Well, there are no new “secrets” on the Internet. You can do paid advertising, free advertising or both. And both are effective – I suggest you start with the free route to see how to market your business online.
Many newbies start out with paid advertising and spend a lot of money on pay-per-click (PPC) advertising… only to see lousy results. Then, when all their money is used up, they have no more traffic to their website, because they only relied on 1 strategy to get the targeted traffic they needed.
Don’t try to buy into the idea that you can “make a quick buck.” The people who offer you these types of solutions are usually “gurus” who want to steal your money, because you are a beginner. But, if they sell it to hundreds of people per day… they must be doing something right; so you can take a look at their business and how they market and sell their products, and include them in their repertoire.
Make sure you have a stable and solid plan of attack when trading online. It is one of the best things you can do for your business.
Good luck with making more money from your website today.
