Understanding How
The internet is a wonderful and yet also an extremely complex place.
I am going to share with you my understanding and comprehension of it. The internet does three basic things, it brings people together, is a great resource tool for teaching and is a marketers dream come true.
- You can either have you're own product or sell somebody else's
- Anything that you can conceive of can be sold or shared
- You can operate using paid services or free
- you either market through a list/E-mail or a web sight
- Social media sites are you're friend
Having youre own product
it can be a physical or electronic one. anything that you can conceive of, you're experience, a skill, you're opinion, services, Knowledge.
Anyone of these things and more can be put into an E book, video, voice re-cording or article.
affiliate
If you choose to sell other peoples products there are many affiliate sites that will encourage and train you so that you can get the most out of youre efforts. Basically you will agree to promote a product and then be given a link which you copy and paste onto an E-mail or place on a web site, Then you drive traffic or send promotional Emails out to get eyes on you're offer. Only when someone buys through you're special link do you get paid.
operating on the net
To achieve maximum exposure in a highly competitive environment there are dozens of services and methods that one could use very effectively.
If you pay for advertising, websites, designing youre site, content and traffic, domain name, sales letters, articles it is hoped that we get what we pay for, still focus and diligence is absolutely necessary. If we are to make our dollars work for us quality content also helps. On the information super highway the one who comes out on top has the moast desirable content. The methods that you use to get that vital content out to people who are interested (targeted traffic) can be achieved through article writing and networking with other marketeers.
I like stuff for free, Just about anything that you pay for on the net can be obtained for free.
E-mail/web sites
E-mail accounts, web sights, advertising, access to social media sights and a lot more are usually free, this blogg you are on is for free. What is not for free is the time and energy that you must spend in order to become proficient in the workings of the internet.
Creating content or finding it takes a lot of time at first, that is why it is required that a person must spend thousands of hours online not only to learn how to find exactly what you want but also to figure out how each sight that you are inter-acting with opperates.
I think that is what discourages a lot of people. I know I get very frustrated when something doesn't do what I hoped or expected. Repartition is what is needed, Doing it over and over again until you get it right. Once a system or action has been mastered its a skill that you have aquired for yourself and that you can share with others.
This is just a rough overview which I hope you find helpful and interesting. I can provide more detailed information if you like, just drop me a line.
