Email Marketing’s Role In Internet Marketing

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

When you hear the term “internet marketing“, what do you think of?

For many, that term conjures thoughts of websites or spamming or search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. For others, it’s all about graphical design, writing fancy code or even affiliate programs. All of those answers correct, but the essence of internet marketing is much simpler.

At its core, internet marketing is about these things:

* Understanding the target market to which the product/service/cause you’re marketing will appeal
* Determining exactly how your target market interacts with the internet
* Positioning your content on the internet to attract the attention of your target market
* Collecting information about your target market (also known as “leads”) for follow-up and conversion into sales
* Design of offers or incentives to induce the desired actions from your leads

Since there is insufficient space in this article to give all of these topics adequate attention, let’s focus on just one specific topic with the realm of internet marketing: Email Marketing.

My best payoff has always come by focusing on permission-based email marketing. Permission-based email marketing refers to the practice of collecting information (including email addresses) from website visitors and communicating with them via e-mail with their direct consent. The “permission” aspect of permission-based email marketing is what separates legitimate email marketers from the spammers that everyone despises.

My love of email marketing is strong for one reason: It works very well. Email marketing has been much like a never-ending goldmine: It enables us to produce income on demand simply by sending a good offer to our list. When you have thousands of loyal subscribers - as we do - and you put a strong and compatible offer in front of them, income becomes nearly automatic.

However, the key to successful email marketing is the development of a legitimate trust relationship with your subscribers. If you opt to send your subscribers a request for purchases every single day, they will likely tire of your badgering and cease reading your emails altogether.

Alternatively, if you take the time to provide good content to your readers on a regular and frequent basis, you’ll discover that your readers take all of your emails far more seriously, and as a result your emails will be opened, read and acted upon with greater frequency. Essentially, email marketing is really an exercise in trust.

Even though there are more sides to internet marketing than just email marketing (permission based), email has been the foundation that our business sits on.

SEO Search Spider Defined

Sunday, August 30th, 2009

The Search Engine needs to determine if the website has any relevant information on it. Just because a website it is built does not mean humans will find it. The Search Engine Spider gathers information from millions of sites constantly. The Search Engine then takes the data presented by the Spider and applies a formula (algorithm) to the information.

The challenge is within the Search Engine and its Search Spider. It uses a mathematical formula with individual elements that works accordingly to a website’s value. We normally call it Page or Trust Rank. Best search results are determined by Search Engines. It puts in its first page result those websites that have established good search history and relevant results.

The computer storage space required by the major Search Engines is staggering because they don’t just take a snap shot of an individual website, they store the information from that website and assimilate it into it’s data base. It then compares several “snap shots” of that same website over time to establish a trust value to the site. Multiply that with all the other sites on the internet and you can begin to understand the challenge.

Couple that with then retrieving those sites, ranking them in importance and relevance for a given search anytime a user like you wants to do a search and you begin to understand the complexity of the task. Since a Search Engine is only good as the results it produces for a search, you can see why some websites don’t even get stored in the data base.

When a website goes live on the internet, it does not mean that it will appear right away in search results. You have a job to do to establish your website and get recognized both by humans and search spiders. Take note of the role of SEO. A Search Engine Optimizer works to provide the need of Spiders in order for a website to get indexed properly.

Search Engines continually look for websites it can assimilate. Since it has its own Spiders, it’s more like scouts. Remember the Borg? It’s from the TV series Start Trek. The Search Spiders and Borg are quite the same in what they do. Through links, a Spider follows through and assimilates websites continually - similar to how a Borg looks for galaxy to assimilate.

With Search Engines and your website, you would want to be assimilated. You would want for the spider to inspect what your website has to offer. But if that doesnt happen, The Search Spider, has determined that your site has nothing unique to offer. Or it can also be that some relevant information have been blocked.

Your mission is to have a website running that is attractive to Search Spiders. The Search Spider, it too has a mission. And since it’s not human, it’s only meant to do its job and what it is for that is already programmed. A website is invisible to a spider if it does not posses the elements required for a relevant search result.

Good Is Good Enough for A Serious Entrepreneur

Monday, August 24th, 2009

‘There is nothing to fear but fear itself,’ as the saying goes, but what if you are actually terrified not of failing but of succeeding in turning into a serious entrepreneur? Entering into any kind of an enterprise has its own sets of risks and rewards, although a lot of folk would never admit that making it is a risk that they are not prepared to take. Success does not only mean fortune and fame ; it also brings with it responsibility and pressure to be consistent.

Nobody is Perfect

There are folk who argue that they want perfection before success, and that sounds too much like an excuse to be credible, particularly if they don’t set the standards for what perfection means, nor do they set a cutoff point to achieve it. A lot of top earning marketers have attained their goals without this’perfection’, and claiming moral ascendancy over them will not put food on your table.

Everyone will have their good days and bad days, and it’s time to tell yourself that it’s fine to make mistakes. If a customer or customer makes reasonable complaints, make amends and correct it. Be aware of their feedback, and use it on your later projects. That is one extra step to’perfection’ that you could not make if you hadn’t put your product out there in the 1st place.

Time to Move On

Naturally it’s part and parcel of being a serious entrepreneur to learn as much as you can about your craft and to develop your skill, but if everyone spent all their time studying to be something, there will be nobody left to do the real work. Experience is also the best teacher ; how will you know if your product or service is up to standards, if you don’t try it out in the market?

The truth is, academic study is a comfort section that some people do not care to venture out from. You do not want to stop improving once your product hits the market. In fact, that is’s the best way to see what improvements you must make.

A serious entrepreneur should, , be results-oriented : a client or buyer would be happier to see a project that’s 80% adequate, than not see an one hundred pc perfect one.

It has been Done Before

How many products have you seen on the market which has been about for a bit and will suddenly have advertisements that claims’NEW AND IMPROVED’? Businesses that work are prepared to take the danger of small successes to get their feet wet and work their way up the market. At the end of the day, the only real way to become a serious entrepreneur is to take action. Remember that sloppy success beats perfect mediocrity.
