7 Internet Marketing Secrets That Will Curl Your Toes

Unlike other forms of marketing, online marketing allows you to determine your results almost immediately. Because of this, many marketers have shifted their marketing efforts to the web. However, just because you now have a means to determine which campaigns are producing results and which one are not does not mean that you will become a guru at internet marketing, not unless you learn these internet marketing secrets.

1) Website directory listing

A web directory is a web page which consists of organized, categorized links to other web pages. Before you begin an online marketing campaign ensure that the website is listed on one of the major world wide web directories: DMOZ, Lycos, Yahoo, and Open Text. This will not only increase your traffic but it ensures that your prospective customers can continue to find your marketing pages long after the launch of your campaign.

2) Generating Traffic

No website is profitable without traffic. In order to see results you must first generate traffic. This can be done through, GoogleAdwords, article marketing, and exchanging links with other sites. Another popular method is to research other websites that have the audience you're looking for and negotiate favorable ad rates for your online marketing campaign.

3) Specific marketing pages

Good marketing means knowing what you want your prospects to do. Therefore, do not send your prospective buyers to a generic website, reason being they will not know what to do next. Whenever you are creating a marketing campaign online, provide a specific page for leading customers to your product or service. The fewer steps the customer has to take to get to the product and make the purchase the more consumers will buy.

4) Testimonials

Testimonials are still the number one leading way to sell your product or service. People feel more confident to buy when they get the opinions of previous satisfied customers. After each purchase ask the buyer for a testimonial, keep the convincing ones to show your prospects.

5) Make your offer magnetic

You want to draw your buyer in right away, so your offer should stand apart from those already on the market. A Free gift or trail is a great way to get people's attention. You could offer a free 7 day trail or a free report. Just be sure to keep your selling point outside the box and to test and measure its response.

6) Develop trust

No one wants to buy from a company that they feel wary about. Before you can see marketing results you need to establish trust with your prospective buyer. Help them to see that they can feel safe, giving you their personal information and making the purchase. Popular methods are by displaying safety and reliability icons such as BBB online and Verisign.

7) Give them your guarantee

Giving your customers a satisfaction guarantee or a money back guarantee is a surefire way to put your customers at ease.

Because internet marketing secrets allows you to find the right audience, and deliver your marketing message efficiently and effectively it has proven to be a very powerful marketing method. As an online marketer, or a local business wishing to do online marketing, you should apply the tips and techniques provided above to propel your success. Using these internet marketing secrets will allow you to have a "hands up" on everyone else in the world of internet marketing.

Re: What would you do with your last $1000? - I would put into my business certainly. If money sleeps then you will lose it. Nearly the eaxct situation happened with me. I had my last 750$ in my pocket to make money online. If I spent it in a wrong way, I would have to lose my chance to own business on the Internet. But I used it wisely and bought D. Gerl's Insider Secrets to Internet Marketing. Then put the rest of the money into Google Adwords and could save my business. But now..... I would continue my monthly membership on SubmitYourArticles Article Submission Service (37$), buy Revolution Wordpress Theme, maintain monthly membership on J. Humpereys ASC membership program and the rest of money put into Google Adwords and Yahoo Ads. Orxan
Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
