Learn the Advantages of Internet Marketing

What are the many different advantages of internet marketing that you should learn if you are setting up your own business? One of the most powerful aspects of the web is the fact that you have the ability to reach millions of people everyday. Conventional forms of marketing have no possibility of reaching that many people.

Advertising on the web means that you aren’t just reaching people who are in the county, but you are instead reaching people from all over the world. When compared with other forms of advertising, it’s easy to see why internet marketing would be preferred.

Another good thing about internet marketing advertising is that it is relatively inexpensive. When you think about how much money it costs to rent a billboard or to set up a telemarketing call center, you can see why online ads are the preferred method of advertising. Now, it does go without saying that not all online advertising methods are inexpensive.

Putting a banner ad on a popular website will be out of the price range of most businesses. Most advertising venues you will find fit nicely into the advertising budget of most businesses. One of the most popular methods of online marketing is the pay per click ads that so many search engines offer.

Another one of the many advantages of internet marketing is that it is fast and effective. You can have your own online ad up in seconds, literally. With all other conventional forms of advertising there is a delay. If you put an ad in the paper for example, it will usually not be put in place until the next week; online ads, on the other hand, are shown as soon as you place them in most cases.

Internet marketing is quite effective also; if it was merely cheap and fast then it wouldn’t be worth it. Most people trust online ads and since so many people are on the internet you are able to reach plenty of potential customers.

With internet marketing you will be able to better reach your target audience. Remember, you aren’t simply trying to reach as many people as possible; you are trying to reach as many people as possible in your targeted marketing segments.

With email marketing, for example, you have the ability to reach thousands of people at once. There are plenty of services available that are in the market of selling leads, although such wide marketing techniques are usually not that successful.

You will find that having a website will also be an excellent tool for reaching a wide target audience. For this purpose, make certain that it has been well designed and outfitted with the proper search engine optimization techniques. Make sure that you have placed the proper keywords in your web site at a rate that is conservative; too many keywords will get you banned from most search engines as it is spamming.
These are just a few of the many different advantages of internet marketing that are available today.

Stop The Gurus! An Open Letter To Internet Marketers

I got a reprint rights to this great article, I agree with Rick’s opinion, so here it goes! (his site) :-)

(This is why I “hate” almost all gurus! ;-)

Hi,

I am Joe’s email list.

Joe calls me his list, his peeps, and sometimes just “the list.”

But, I am not a list, really, I am not a crowd, or an audience. I am not “everyone out there” as they teach new broadcasters to say.

I am me.

One single person with hopes, dreams, stresses and fears.

I get email from you Joe.

I can’t remember for sure, but I think I “joined” one day when you offered a free report or video and I had to put my email address in - and confirm - in order to see it.

In my inbox, Joe, your email looks just like the personal emails I get from my daughter or son, and sometimes, sadly, from my ex.

Now that you’ve been sending me email - as well as some of your “good friends” - I have begun to be able to see in a glance that they are just offers, sometimes disguised as important messages, sometimes blatantly, not.

Whenever I see the word “this” in your subject lines, like - “this won’t last long” - or “have you seen this?” I know it’s an offer.

Since the Product Launch Formula I and especially II - I’m amazed at how many times per month I am literally inundated with emails from so many people all about the same exciting product.

They arrive over multiple days, culminating in a bonus orgy that is just overwhelming.

That made me laugh.

I’m writing you today, to share something important about myself - and I hope you’ll take the time to consider my feelings, ok?

I have to get off of some of these lists.

The volume of email and the distraction of chasing the offers is just crippling my time, my focus, and my ability to get things done.

When Rick Butts asked his readers to consider unsubscribing from the people who sent you Stompernet Launch offers IF they had not provided any useful content in the last month - he really got me thinking.

Then Ed Dale made a video saying, basically, that no one is holding a gun to your head and that if you wanted to stop getting offers - stop bitching - and just unsubscribe.

But here’s the deal. I’d LIKE to learn from you Joe - and to be able to know that being on “your list” is valuable to me, my business, and my future.
So, please don’t think me a big whiner, I’m a customer, and here’s what I respectfully request:

1. Slow down the frequency of mailing to me, Joe.

Do not email me every day - that’s just way too much now.

2. Don’t mail me offers all the time.

I’m reading a lot more RSS feeds from bloggers who are putting out great content. If you are using Feedburner or Feedblitz or Aweber’s blog notification service that mails me when you update your blog - then, cool. I’m good with that.

3. If you do mail me an offer PLEASE don’t cut and paste the pre-written one from the creator of the product.

Do you know how stupid that makes you look to me? And, how insulting it is to get them from multiple people?

4. Try giving me some TRUTHINESS in your communiques to me.

If you are really making money in the non-marketing-to-Internet-marketers, then tell me some useful tips that are working for you. No, you don’t need to tell me your market niche but hey, every once in a while how about your show me how valuable I am to you buy sharing one of those SECRETS?

5. Show me some stuff that made less than $1,000,000.00.

I’d be immensely interested in real world examples of success I can get my head around. I’m never going to build a big list of “biz-op” peeps and hammer them with a big JV launch. Show me how I can make $500 a week - then be able to replace my income and quit my skank job.

6. Stop bragging about your zero-gravity dives and how you are spending my money in outrageous ways.

Trust me, this is a lot more fun for you, then it is for me to read about it. You may excuse it as “inspirational” but I dont’ even think that works in MLM anymore. It just annoys me. A little “high life” goes a long way and I’m more impressed by how Internet marketing lets you enjoy your family.

7. Please, please, please, for the love of God, stop participating in these dreadful launches!

Let me believe you are successful enough without having to bend over and schlup me and the rest of my list mates through your embarrassing attempt to get me to “buy from you” and help you win a contest.

I think that gives you a pretty good idea of the kind of things that would make getting email from you valuable again - and persuade me not to unsubscribe from you forever.

Final thought…

The blowback from the “unsubscribe” and “launch fatigue” has been to accuse me and my list mates, the little people, of being whiners.

And while there is no shortage of whiners in the world, I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart - I am pleading with you to not dismiss me so easily.

What most of us really want is for you to provide us with value, treat us like a long term relationship, and we will, certainly reward you for helping us get to the next level.

Now back to check my email, I think there’s a Traffic Secrets 2.0 launch today?

Sincerely,
Joes List
