IF YOU DON'T MARKET YOUR BUSINESS, YOU SHOULDN'T BE IN BUSINESS
The harsh reality is that businesses who fail to market will fail. Marketing starts with business cards followed by word of mouth marketing in the form of referrals, business networking, and so forth. Some businesses have good retail locations and get customers that way. There are many other marketing strategies that you may consider. Flyers. Direct mail. Radio advertising. Conference/Expo participation. The list goes on forever. One of the most affordable and more effective marketing methods is to have a website and an email mailing list. But there is a difference between having a website and having a website that effectively markets your products and services.
WEB MARKING IS NOT AS EASY AS IT SOUNDS
If you have ever tried to succeed online, you have probably encountered one of the many common problems. We see these problems all the time.
- Spending money to get traffic, but not making sales
- The phone just doesn't ring
- Visitors never seem to buy anything
- Your consultants don't seem to know what they are doing
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MY WEBMASTER?
Most webmasters are either graphic artists or programmers. Graphic artists can make very beautiful websites, but typically know nothing about Internet marketing. Programmers usually know how to create advanced functionality like shopping carts and blogs, but also know very little about Internet marketing. You could hire a graphic artist to design your site, a programmer to build your site, an SEO guy to optimize your site, a pay-per-click guy to drive paid traffic to your site ... but you still don't have a complete package. Someone has to really understand the Internet marketing process and be able to pull all that together with the right content, the right graphics, the right functionality, and the right promotional techniques. That combination is very hard to find.
CONTENT IS KING! NEVER PUT CRAP ON YOUR WEBSITE. PUT MARKETING CONTENT ON YOUR WEBSITE.
Creating the right content for your website is the key to success. But the right content is not as simple as listing a few features and adding a BUY NOW button. There are psychological factors at play and it takes a special skillset to know all the what/where/why answers to designing an effective website. It is almost impossible to find a skilled marketing expert that can do this for you.
WHO ARE THE INTERNET MARKETING EXPERTS?
The majority of people that honestly fit the description of "Internet Marketer" do not sell these services to the public. They might sell an educational product. But typically they use their skills to promote their own products and services. That is a big problem for you because your competition might actually be a very skilled Internet marketer and if you don't know what you are doing, you don't stand a chance. There are some that sell their knowledge in educational products for thousands of dollars, but that still requires you to learn all that stuff and it can take months to figure it all out even if you already know something about it. The reason they don't like to do it as a service is because they make much more money selling you the product and then selling you coaching services behind the product. You end up paying them many thousands of dollars and you have to do all the work!
