[O218]Online Marketing Research Survey

by Ben Norman, Ben

When you are looking for a way to get more information about yourself and your services out to an audience, one method of communication that you simply cannot overlook is the internet. Today, every company that wants to make an impact on its client base has an internet marketing strategy and if you don't, you can easily find yourself left behind! While the ideal marketing plan combines the two, there are many advantages that internet marketing can offer you over conventional marketing.

Without a doubt, the most prevalent and popular forms of internet marketing involve search engines. Though experts estimate that there are over 30,000 search engines online, the top ten search engines account for about 90 percent of all traffic! When you take into account the fact that the majority of online purchases are preceded by search engine use, it is very easy to see why many companies put a lot of time and effort into getting to the top of the search engine results page. When you learn about things like keyword optimisation and natural search results, you'll be putting yourself in an excellent position to draw in business.

One of the best reasons to develop an internet marketing strategy is to take advantage of the low costs. Programs like pay per click advertising only demand that you pay whenever someone actually uses your link to go to your site and you'll find that the setup fee that allows you to take advantages of programs like Google AdWords is very reasonable. Compare this to the cost of putting an advertisement in the newspaper. You'll also find that internet marketing has a high degree of saturation; you can put your ads in many places that will be seen and noticed by a wide variety of people.

You'll also find that geography is no longer a problem when you are thinking about where you want to advertise. You don't have to be concerned that any particular ad is geographically relevant; instead, you can be assured that your advertising will reach any place that you are able to ship to! With the advent of internet marketing, you'll find that there are plenty of people who are interested in your service, and that with internet marketing on your side, you'll be able to reach them!

If you are a business, large or small, that is looking to compete in today's world, and online presence is of the utmost importance, as is a dedicated internet marketing campaign!

Actually, there's no such thing as Online Marketing Magic, but that doesn't stop people from selling it and other people from buying it. Most people starting out in Internet Marketing buy some of those products, I sure did. You read forum posts or articles from someone claiming to have secret SEO knowledge to put your site on the map, PLR articles, or an automatic article scraper, and poster, and you buy, and you buy, and buy. Then there's eBooks that hold all the secrets to wealth building, and you buy and buy and buy. But nothing ever happens. You start to wonder what you're doing wrong.

The only magic about online marketing is that your profit potential is not directly proportional to your amount of work. Some people work really hard and put in tons of hours and profit very little if at all, while others work only a few hours a day and reap millions. The old motto about working smart not hard is alive and well in Internet Marketing.

If you're new to Online or Internet Marketing, you'd be smart to be conservative on spending. For example, learn enough about HTML and CSS to make simple web pages for your own use. That's really all you'll need for a long time.

Find a mentor, someone who is successful in a way that you want to be successful. Learn from what they've done. Be willing to relearn things you think you already know. This is good advice for many areas of life, not just Online Marketing! If you try to make a quick buck by cheating your customers, they'll know and they won't be back.

Most importantly, only create products or services that are based on honesty, quality, and usefulness. Create something that has true value and you'll have repeat customers and loyal visitors who come back again and again.
