Article Overview: Do You Want to Learn Online Marketing? This is THE List of the Best Blogs and Resources to Learn How to Promote Your Business Online

Do You Want to Learn Online Marketing?

The Internet has changed us forever. It has changed the way we buy, the way we research before we buy, and how much we are willing to pay for a product. From a consumer’s standpoint, this is great news. From a business owner’s standpoint, it could be great news or terrible news, depending on what he is doing to promote his business online.
You’ve heard this myth over and over again, “build it and they will come”. “Yeah, right” I say. The problem is that most people don’t have a clue about online marketing, and when they want to learn, they realize that there is so much information available that it is often overwhelming.
For that reason I’ve decided to share my favorite online marketing resources, so you can stop wasting time reading boring and useless blogs and focus on the ones that will teach you great lessons. I’ve been an Internet marketer for over 9 years but I still get great gems from these sites.

Some Useful Tips
• Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed. Learn one thing at a time.
• The best way to learn something is by doing it. Test, test, and test.
• Measure results. The only way to know whether or not something is working is by measuring it.
• Don’t give up too soon. If something doesn’t work the first day, don’t assume that it will never work. Maybe you need to try a different approach. The best way to fail online –and offline for that matter, is to try something new every day.
• Do give up when you have to. If you’ve been trying something for a few months and it’s not working for you, drop it. Not all the online marketing tactics work for all the businesses.
• Find the winning formula and stick to it. Contrary to the popular belief, marketing is not a numbers game. Annoying thousands of people is never as offering your products to a handful of highly-qualified prospects. Use a rifle, not a shotgun. Most businesses use two or three marketing tactics and they execute them brilliantly. Do only a few things and do them very well.

Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":p78047w2]Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".[/quote:p78047w2] Okay - I have a request -- can the title be changed to "Online Marketing"? The reason I'm asking is because people may not know what social media marketing is , while that would make me vote for it to learn more, but not every thinks like that. Also, online marketing could capture more attention when people spot in on the list. Shri
Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - [quote:31qpen1j]This is just my opinion, but I consider the prospective categories, Online Marketing, Internet Marketing and Online Promotion, as being pretty much one and the same - just different words that different people use.[/quote:31qpen1j] I completely agree! Those are all just "internet marketing" as far as I am concerned. And I normally would have voted for internet marketing, however I chose social media marketing simply because there are more than enough IM forums out there already.
