How To Plan For Success In Internet Marketing

By Kemp Gary


The world today isn't teeming with opportunity the same way it was some decades ago. We're no longer living in an industrial age. We've now entered a technological age. Today's opportunities are found in a different place. So read these internet marketing tips to learn how to chase down your opportunity.

Read trade magazines and newspapers to keep current on new trends and new technologies. You might be able to get a head start on a new trend if you read about it before others do. Don't be the last person to know about something, read enough so you can be a pioneer.

To keep the reader engaged, stay away from heavy text and favor infographics, imagery and short paragraphs. Reading online is very different than reading on paper. It is a much more graphic medium that favors jumping from one information source to the next. To make sure your site is taken in by the visitor, stick to graphic communication and quick paragraphs instead of the 500-word essay describing your business.

Pay attention to your page rankings. Many sites will tell you that they do not matter, but others argue strongly that they do. The higher your page ranking, the more people will see your site. It is a good idea to pay close attention to your ranks, but not to obsess over them.

Post video on your website and on video-sharing websites. Video is a big draw to customers. Plus by having it on various video-sharing websites, you'll have another avenue for people to discover your business. Try reviewing new products on a weekly basis or have weekly interviews with people involved with your business.

To increase the success of your Internet marketing website, it is important to consider what you want a visitor to your website to take with them when they leave. You can decide what information is the most important for your visitor, and position that information in a prominent place in your layout.

To make the best of your Internet marketing strategies and opportunities, try to avoid domains that sound like spam. You want to provide a legitimate service to generate healthy profit. Add a forum to your website. Add graphics to the forum as text based forums are not as attractive to customers.

Offer your customers coupons to keep them coming back. Include a coupon in the packaging when you mail your products to your customers. Attach coupons to your periodic email newsletters. If your customers have a coupon in hand, they are much more likely to return to buy something else so they do not let the coupon go to waste.

Make sure that you've included contact information on your web site and that it is displayed in a prominent place. You want to make it as easy as possible for your customers to get in touch with you. Give them a variety of means to do so, not just a contact form. Many people prefer to make a phone call or send an e-mail.

When someone signs up for your emails, let them know right away what to expect. Send them an email confirming their subscription and let them know what to expect in each email and how often to expect email. This is also a good time to give them a chance to back out if they signed up by accident or aren't interested any more,

Be yourself. After so much reading and researching, you might be tempted to model yourself after some of the big names in internet marketing. And while they can be good role models, you will never be them. Give yourself credit and believe that you have something unique to offer, and potential customers will appreciate your genuine and honest attitude.

Record a video of you demonstrating the product you are attempting to sell. This way the consumer will see you actually using the product. Show all the benefits of the product and other features that may not be advertised. Post this video to your blog or other sites like Youtube.
