Today internet marketing success depends on how much attention you can bring to what ever it is you are trying to sell. It's becoming increasingly more difficult to attract the propects of your target market. We are up against big companies that have tons of money just for marketing. And on top of that social media also takes away the attention of potential prospects.So now a days we must be greatly creative with our internet marketing endeavors. I have a couple few ways that just might be of some help to you
1. If you know of any famous people in your town or city try and team up with them.
While you may not know anyone who is a household name, you might just know of some in your town or city that has great influence over a lot of people. Try and see if you can get them to join you in spreading the word about what you have.
2. Go on some of the blogs and forums that are related to your particular niche.
Joining up with people online is a great way to get noticed by potential prospects. it can enable you to offer your professional business to people and possibly help someone at the same time. This is a technique that has survived the years because it works. Just don't use this to try and hard sell anyone.
It can take time and effort to get one going, but the goal should be to help provide resources and start discussions on topics that can benefit your community. Blogs and forums are also a place for fellow internet marketers to network with other professionals online.
3. Write articles and publish them for free.
No longer do you need a publishing company or thousands of dollars to get distribution for a book. While it may be difficult to get on the front cover of a major magazine, you can write articles about your niche and get free marketing by being featured in on the ezine website. Ezine is an online magazine that will publish your articles for free. Write three to five articles a month that target your niche and bamn, you have an instant free marketing tool. Amazon, even, will let you upload a digital book for free, but they will want 33 percent of your take on every sale. But you're not trying to make a full income from direct book sales. Price your book anywhere between $2-$6 so that it is affordable.You want to use Amazon as a marketing tool that you don't have to pay for, rather it pays you. What you want to do is encourage your readers to opt into your website for further information. Once they follow the link that you strategicaly place in your book to your website you know they are interested in what you have. Even time-strapped entrepreneurs who aren't great writers should consider this.
4. Create videos for YouTube.
With more than 800 million unique visitors a month, YouTube can be a powerful internet marketing tool. But the key to success for Youtube is that you must go beyond simply posting random videos of your product or service.
The marketing videos you create should include the following elements:
- A keyword-researched rich headline
- A clear editorial message (don't try to accomplish too much in one video)
- A call to action (tell the viewer to do something, such as subscribing to your channel)
If you have the funds to buy lights and cameras, then you have action. Lol But if you don't, then a regular digital camera should be sufficient. Some people even use their smartphone. As for editing, if you're on a Mac, for instance, you should already have iMovie in your applications. But if you don't have a Mac you can find free software online or hire a professional editor on sites such as Fiverr.com, possibly for as little as $5 depending on the scope of the work.
