Back to The Basics Internet

The Internet has bombarded you with information of how to succeed online.

Now you are totally confused about how to market your product or service online, right?  No need to be confused!

Sure there was good stuff in every piece of that information but to get seen online is about your web presence and reputation, pure and simple!

Your web presence and reputation is like Walmart vs Joes corner store. Joe may get his neighbors and friends but Wallmart  will be very hard to beat in the market outside his local area. Joes reputation of going above and beyond for his regular customers will gain even more "presence" by simple word of mouth, but Walmart is still there…. Joe just can not compete with his budget and time by himself.

Your self hosted blog or website is like Joes store. It is buried on the web by millions of websites (Walmart) you have to compete with to be seen!  Sure you may be able to gain a few small wins on a few products (niche) but you still need a well branded web presence and reputation to get any sales even using niche marketing! This takes lots of dedicated brand work… posting, linking, building your brands web presence.  Not promoting this product or program, switching to the next one that comes along because you aren't making money with the one you just wasted a load of your branding on.

The easy way is to get help, even use others web presence to gain visitors.  This is fine if they let you!  Or use free sites like blogger and other sites with high SE rank. This is fine also, but there is 2 problems. First, their traffic rank is mostly their members posting their information, not potential customers for you! Second, you have to win rank in their system before their rank will help you!  So just posting on them and thinking your post will be seen is not reality.

Traffic Blog Network, Mega Traffic and the Gang Up group are all built to combat this problem. They are small so there is little competition, They have better traffic rank than most sites with more members and more competition, They allow are based on teamwork so you get the benefits of the rest of the teams web presence. (and mine!)

Here is a short Video I did explaining why we should get back to basics and use teamwork and web presence that i have set up in my websites and groups.

Back To Basics Internet

How close are online customers?

How close are you to your online customers?

Right beside them!

Even newbies and people that never tried internet marketing  are right beside their online customers!

Most people look so hard to find new customers they never see them. The backwards marketing and lies to protect a few peoples secrets has taught us it is really hard to get new  online customers or we have to pay people lots of money for them. Most people contact many people online every day, email something funny or interesting to their friends, IM with people far away, leave comments on blogs and forums…..  But you don't market to them do you?

You would like to keep them as friends wouldn't you? 

So why do you work so hard to find new people to market to when you know if you sent the same stuff to your friends, they wouldn't like it?

What makes you think your "new" non friends will ?

The Backwards marketing that has been taught in the past (and sill is) programed us into thinking this will work to make them more money. If  you like making them rich… stop reading! You have lots of work to do!

Happy People tend to buy more.

Everyone should know this. You don't need a degree to understand that a happy person is more likely to make purchase than a pissed off one…. Yet online companies still widely promote spamming and backward marketing pissing off their customers and affiliates! They all say it is a numbers game…. It is when you do it that way! They plan on losing 90% of their affiliates within 3 months! Most make it next to impossible to unsubscribe or stop paying their monthly membership fee or even worse … autoship just because they know people will not go out of their way to try and stop it.  You know….. well, I am paying, I need to give it more time….. I WILL WORK HARDER…. They get their money….. I bet you didn't make any!

So your lists of friends here and there are your happy people if you are playing your cards right and not pushing every ad you can find at them…. So how can you "market" to them and still keep them happy?

Just keep doing what you are now! If they like what you send them, they will always look, read, listen….. They will notice when you are making money or otherwise succeeding in what you do and may even ask you what you are doing! Truly  Amazing concept!!!  Don't believe me? Ask your local business person.

Law of attraction works on this principle, "act" like you are succeeding so people will be drawn to your success. It works to an extent, but if you lie to people…. you really never have their trust. The worst part is, you have to lie to yourself first!

A side note here….. If you have groups of happy friends…. outside people will notice and ask to join your little group! Mind Blowing Huh!!!

It is hard

It is hard in todays fast paced world to not get caught up in the backwards marketing and just plain bad ideas! The hype will grab you no matter how ready you think you are! I sure have more often than I would like to mention! But I learned from each and every experience. So its not all bad!

Try to think like you are on the receiving end before you start marketing anywhere. I set up email filters, block friends, and lose respect for people that send me spam (spam is anything you did not specifically ask for). You lose me after 1 or 2 tries. Most emails never get through spam filters. A lot of work that does nothing but give you a bad online rep!  If it is fun, informative, interesting and not just after their money or email address, you are probably ok.

Change your thinking

I know its not easy to bust out of the backwards marketing way of thinking. For a while I could not write anything that didn't sound like a Google ad! No matter how hard I tried! It was sick!

Step out of  "Mr (Mrs) Marketer" and look at things as you for a while. Filter out all those "Guru's" emails. Stop spamming the spammers at those safelists and other advertising that has produced NADA……… If it hasn't worked? It probably is not going to! 

Start treating the few friends, readers, customers you do have left with the respect they deserve and make sure you give a little of yourself if you expect anything in return. This is real life folks! You want yours to change? Start with the only part you can change……….. Yourself! I guarantee you will like the results, yes, unlike online programs promising results… You can change your life for the better! Just do not expect someone else to do the work for you! 

How close are your online customers? All around you! Talk to them!

Tiger Woods Money

What would you do with the money Tiger Woods just lost?

How Much do you think he will loose in the end?

Will You ever think the same of Tiger again?

Answer these questions or ask your own by commenting ……

Will what we say here match what the professional polls say?  Lets show them what we really think!

Online Business/Customers

Product Focus A Good Thing?

I am sure you have heard it all…..

Find your niche, focus on your niche, target your niche………

This is all well and good if you know how to optimize your pages and target your keywords in the search engines. Only completely focus on the product if it is totally yours! The sorry fact is…. to get customers or readers to your "niche", you will have to dominate highly searched terms targeting that niche. Unless you are a professional SEO webmaster and key phrase expert researcher, chances are you will see very little traffic to your "niche site". Yup! All those Guru programs, niche builders, and software won't do a thing for you unless you happen to be lucky just before the lightning strikes you!

Ask any Guru…. They will tell you it is a numbers game! They know 99% of new members/affiliates/downlines are going to fail and exit the program withing 3 months! They need the new signups to keep that initial purchase money coming. Most offer signup bonuses also so the Guru's can earn extra before their downlines figure out they can not keep losing money! It is the numbers! If you are not getting thousands of hits a day with your websites or have hundreds of thousands of emails in your lists. How do you think you are going to make it? People do not automatically go to your replicated website just because your name is on it! Unless your name dominates the top search engine pages!

Joining and promoting any make money online product or program will only benefit the product owners. You may make a few bucks….. You probably spend more!

So How Do I Make Money Online?

Along with the rest of the gobelty goop they feed you most do have some correct information in their marketing information. Your new online business is a business and should be treated like one!

Sure back in the 90's Joe Shmoe could put a page up online and probably make a lot of money. Now almost every key phrase has millions competing for search engine position. You have to be good to beat that competition!  Joe Shmoe might as well buy a lotto ticket…..

The best way to get targeted customers online is by using the search engines because when someone searches for "your product", if you are #1 on the search engine for "YOUR PRODUCT" they will click on your link. As you see the best way is not an easy way. Thus product focus should not be your #1 priority unless it is your product.

Building your business online is now the same as building one in your town. To get customers you need to gain their trust by giving them good information, products, and service. Hype and lies may catch their attention for a second, but  as soon as they see through it, they are gone and your online reputation is shot.

It still is not really that hard but does take some time, your total commitment to make your business work, and a plan to follow so your business builds in an orderly fashion making it easier and easier to find by new customers.

Your main business focus should be what you know best, how you learned it, and why what you do is better for your customers than all that other stuff online. Your potential customers have to know and trust you! Don't try to become something you aren't because you have a new product page. Think about it! Do you buy online from Joe Shmoe? Do you even buy online? You have to prove to your potential customers you are the most trustworthy person on the web to buy your products from before they click that Google ad (that you will make 3 cents from) to buy from someone else!

Gang Up Internet Marketing

Can new customers find their way to your online business?

It is time to Gang UP!

What is Your Time Worth?

I have built up a steady income with my online work. Not a huge Income by any means, but growing faster as my web presence grows.

If you spend all of your time in chat rooms just chatting, you probably aren’t making lots of money. You could be building your network and lists which will work for you in the long run though.

Spending day in and day out surfing the TE’s may get your web site seen but how much are you getting for your time?

Blogging on the free networks takes a lot of work to get seen, but will benefit your wallet in the long run if you are blogging with a plan.

I have owned a domain for a few years now, trying to build traffic and income from it. Over the years since then, I have purchased several other domain names to set up tools to help my members and readers actually make some cash online. With these domains and  a lot of work I have squeezed a regular income out of affiliate products, membership fees, and advertising. Nothing to write home to mother about……

Well, I came across a website the other day that made me feel better. It is called Value My Site. It gathers all the traffic and link info from a few sources and figures what your domain is worth.  You can click the (blue) link above to see for yourself, but as of today, this website is worth $11,022.00!  My other 2 main domains are worth another $15,000.00, so I feel better about all the work I have been putting in!

Can I get that much if I was to sell? Maybe! I have created some pretty steady traffic streams! I have this week off from my mechanics job so I have been cramming a little. We shall see how that works in the next few weeks!

So don’t let the internet get you down! If you have been posting and getting links back to your pages you just might surprise yourself someday soon!
