The Simplest Blueprint to Internet Marketing Success
When you are starting out in internet marketing, you tend to look into secrets, hidden knowledge and end up wasting your time, money and resources. That’s what happened to me when I started out in early 2004. I spent 13 months without making any profit (I was making money but losing more every month).
Sometimes I think If I have to give myself simple advice, what I’d give?
1. Choosing a Market – I’ll tell myself, don’t try to find obscure niche markets. Go where competition is, go where people are already buying. At least you know what kind of products are selling and what not.
There’s no need to be afraid of competition. Internet is big enough to include you too.
2. Choosing an angle : Michel fortin calls it power positioning, Others call it USP (Unique selling proposition). I prefer to call “Choosing an angle”. Why? It makes easy for you to think and act upon it.
It’s better if you think how you can enter in a market and start selling immediately. Same product, same offer rarely win. Even if you have a better product, it won’t be help at all.
Same blogging course, same weight loss tips, same dog training techniques won’t work for you. Think how you can add to the existing market and profit from it.
3. Create a product : Create a product fast. Do not dilly dally. Do not waste time in getting the perfect product. Get it done. Do not take more than 7 Days to create a product. If you take too much time, your current enthusiasm will drop, your energy will be low and you’ll be surrounded by negativity (I wonder if It’d sell).
Focus on a product and get it done before any negative though process break into you.
4. Start getting traffic and improve conversion : Getting 100 unique visitors per day is not hard in any market. If you improve your conversion to 1% and your product price is $47. You are well onto making $1350 per month. Add few more products and back end. You’ll be able to generate a great livelihood from internet marketing.
5. Consistent Effort : The above figures can be true, if you put consistent effort daily.
You should be spending time out to get traffic.
You should be spending time to write more content (or create product).
You should be spending time to get to know your market.
You should be spending time to think how you can further increase your conversion.
5 Simplest advice I can give you to start right now. Not in the evening, not tomorrow, not when stars are in auspicious alignment.
