There is a border between the USA and Canada...between the USA and Mexico...and so forth. Yet we continue as a society to visit both of those countries all the time.
So let's apply this to today's lesson...
There is a border between an online business and an offline business. This exists because of a variety of factors like the types of products sold, the people who sell them, and other factors.
But should there be a border at all?
Let's share an example...
An online membership site sells its memberships on the typical "Free, upgrade to silver or platinum membership" model. Upfront, this membership offers a free 50 page report on a niche industry to generate leads through an opt - in page. This membership site offers this report plus the "free" membership with limited benefits.
Then it sells it's upgraded memberships with all the bells and whistles like business packages specific to the niche industry, audio's that give the "golden nuggets" of info, and maybe even video to "take you by the hand" and walk you through business improvement techniques.
To market this...the membership site owner might use article marketing, Pay Per Click, forum marketing, etc...
All the online marketing techniques we are familiar with.
But there is a better way, and I suggest you add this methodology to your online marketing model today. Notice I did not say to stop marketing online at all, as all of the aforementioned techniques work great when done correctly.
But the most productive way to market your online business is... offline!
That's right, offline marketing. Direct mail, newspaper editorial - style advertisements, word of mouth offline, face to face networking, public speaking, print newsletters, etc...
I cannot go into detail about how to use each one of these techniques in this one post...but look for future posts to cover these topics.
But one question that is probably rattling inside your head is...
"Why do these techniques work better than online marketing?"
Well...that answer is multi - part to which I will present three ideas here:
1. Typically, online business owners view the Internet as the end - all of marketing their online business...and it simply isn't. It is only one media used to market a business.
2. Audience. One example...the majority that read the newspaper do so with a different mindset. They are not the typical freebie - seeking, distracted, multi - tasking (when surfing the ?net), individual that is using the internet. Instead, they are more focused on what is in front of them.
3. Distraction. I mentioned this in part 2 of my answer, but in detail...there are a number of distractions that present themselves on the Internet that simply are not present when someone is reading the mail, the newspaper, attending a face to face conference (congrats to those online marketers that figured that one out) etc...
There are certainly more reasons in support of offline marketing for your online business. I would encourage you to leave a comment to this post one way or another.
A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life! A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered -- and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar. Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she's marching to the beat of a different drum. And no, nothing about her "secret" is difficult -- nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural. Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results." This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity -- and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever. Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites -- and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98 effectiveness and success rate. She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons -- only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn't nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight). So powerful is her secret that she's able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases. Nearly 100 of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide. But she's not promising any of us for how long. Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use. One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever "truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK." It is currently available at: => http://www.fatnotyourfault.com ...so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or "something" gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least. It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level. While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?
