Had I known in 1985 what I know now about Internet Marketing, I would have leapt quickly on the Web instead of dabbling in real estate. Course, I DID learn about a property that was GREAT for my husband and me.
We stumbled six/seven months living in New York City upon a raw pajama factory become co-op -- and moved in. Turned the loft into two spaces each with two large bedrooms, open living room/dining room/kitchen area, and high as heaven ceilings.
A smart marketer with insights like the ones I am about to share would have borrowed the money and bought the entire building! Three blocks from Madison Square Garden too......Magic, Larry Bird, Doctor J....missed opportunity!!
Anyway YOU do better -- starting now...
1. Write articles and send them to e-zines. Introduce first rate free e-books as well as affiliate connections.
2. Turn three/four articles into an e-book. Give the book away, creating a viral product.
3. Join strong affiliate programs. Study the accompanying instructional aids and apply them to your activities.
4. Acknowledge every purchase with a personal thank you within 24 hours. Ask 'how is my product working for you?' and 'what can I do to help you?' Offer ongoing service and valuable marketing gifts.
5. Stock up on quality free e-books. Give them away to your purchasers.
6. Send an e-mail with titles and instructive comments about your freebies to your buyers via autoresponder. Promise and deliver again and again.
7. Create a forum...keeps you attentive. Maybe a splendid niche website idea will leap out at you.
8. Create your own e-zine. Using a POP-UNDER, ask visitors to subscribe to or/and buy a product discounted in the POP-UNDER script. Keep your visitors reading, thinking, and expecting from you.
9. Ask visitors to bookmark your site.
10. Create a message board. Ask visitors for their questions and comments. Respond when you learn what you need to know.. Study something new to you...and stay ahead of the curve..
11. Create a web page. Advertise your e-zines, scripts, tips, and articles to the Web community. Brand them -- and give them away.
12. Ask for testimonials from purchasers and subscribers. Include names, city/state, photos. Display testimonials and photos along right or left margins of the webpage. Use handwritten testimonials and ordinary pictures instead of studio shots. Make everything you offer and share REAL.
