Tired of your job? Have you recently been laid off or are you fearful you may be laid off soon? Perhaps your vacation or benefits have been cut…is there any job security these days? Heck, states are even talking about keeping your tax refund right now. Isn’t it about time you started securing another source of income?
Welcome to Internet Marketing!
It’s still an exciting new field with plenty of opportunities in every niche for every product. More and more people are buying things online every year…every month for that matter. Even when the economy is slowing down, the percentage of online sales vs. retail sales continues to grow. In fact, the economy is accelerating this! Most things are available online for cheaper because there is less overhead with an online business, and people are looking to save every dollar they can right now. So the things that they WILL buy, they will buy ONLINE.
What does mean for you?
Well, in many cases, you don’t need to stock any actual products to make sales online. That’s the beauty of it. You simply advertise for other people’s products, and make a commission. You sit back and your website makes sales for you. However, you won’t make a dime without MARKETING! Marketing is everything and everything is marketing.
How do you get people to your site?
“If you post it…they will come.” Contribute all over the internet. Join forums, communities, Facebook, MySpace…write articles, comment on blogs, make Craigslist and other free ads. KEEP POSTING, people will find out about you. They will come to your website and they will buy from you. When people want to read what you have to say…guess what? They are willing to buy what you have to sell.
Don’t be a spammer!
I said CONTRIBUTE. Take interest in relevant topics in forums and blogs related to what you are selling. Talk about it with people. Don’t just push what you are selling. Trust, nobody wants another Viagra ad in their inbox. UGH. However, people do want personal recommendations from knowledgeable, experienced, people.
I have chosen my business. I am posting. I am succeeding. It’s time for you to do the same.
