Internet Marketing, Tread Slowly ! Part- 2

As I discussed with you in my last post,there are only two things that truly matter : "Buying and Selling ".

I'll break it down for you :
Selling : Who are your potential/target customers ? You must be in their shoes and find out what is that would make them feel better (an offer).

Buying : Why anyone should buy from you ? How can they trust you whether you are selling your own product or someone else's product ?

The Next Step- Finding a Niche, choosing a product ?

Well there tons of information and suggestion available on the web on using Master Resale Rights, Private Label Rights, Rebranding Rights, Giveaway Rights, products for starting online business and making good money online !!

Indeed one of the best method to start earning online without the hassel of creating your own product. However Internet Marketing for beginners is a minefield of confusion but if you are prepared to take your time and learn what needs to be learnt, then there is no reason why you cannot succeed.

Internet Marketing- Tread Slowly !

Starting Internet Marketing- Everybody starts somewhere !


I am guessing that you reading this because you want to know where to start? I bet you are fed up of all the scams out there? Well, hopefully this will provide you the information needed to make your first buck online.

I am sure you must have tried every possible resource under the sun and you are still no wiser than before ? To get into internet marketing is about earning big bucks in a short span of time !!



I am sorry folks you are going to be disappointed . It takes a LOT of hard work and effort, and the big bucks don't come quick and easy. However, for those that are prepared to put the effort in the returns are well worth it.


Ease of Internet Marketing is to slip in your boxers and relax on a comfort chair with your laptop. On the other hand if you believe that you can jump in, create a website/blogs, submit it to a few directories or blogs, sit down, relax & watch those thousands of dollars (that you’ve seen in many marketers’ checks) to come, then you need to stop right there. It ain’t gonna happen. You need to think: who you are and where do you want to be in the future. Whether offline or online, there are only two things that matter: “Buying” and “Selling”.


Before you even start creating internet marketing strategy for your self, you need to do a research. That’s where it all begins actually. Just like in any business, you have to understand where you are and what can you do ?



Or may be i can help you find some starters.....(to be continued) coming soon, pl keep a track.

Internet marketing philosophy?

Just how important is Internet marketing philosophy? In a simple sentence it is to have a plan that gives you a measurable and definite way to target your market and position your business so that those looking for what you have to offer are finding you easily.

This is vital to the success of your online business. Would you start a business without a business plan? Would you place your yellow pages ad in an unrelated area just to see if anyone finds it? Or would you place a billboard ad where there is no traffic?

Many new Internet entrepreneurs are very careful when it comes to spending marketing dollars, but have neglected the most effective marketing tool that they have which is a solid Internet marketing philosophy to help them with their business.They seem to focus their money also on the design and development but the planning process and strategy building has been neglected.

Why? So many are under the misconception that a web designer is an expert in the area of Internet marketing and that they are also well versed in search engine optimization. And then they find out the truth.The entrepreneur has spent thousands of dollars and is now ready to launch his business online, yet to discover the following: minimal sales and conversion and subscriptions are slim to none.

Also, there are only minimal requests for services and products, and traffic to the site is way below calculations and expectations.

How could these problems have been avoided? A solid Internet marketing philosophy plan ahead of time could have saved the time, headaches and a lot of money. It can also help position you to your target and niche market as well as increase conversion.

Some examples of solid marketing philosophy are: position your business so those looking can find you easily through search engine optimization and define who and what you are.

Other examples are: how do you approach the clients visiting your new site, do they feel welcomed, and what do you want from them, to buy a product, a newsletter, a report or a service?

Having a prepared Internet marketing philosophy gives you a measurable and definitive way to target your market and position your business so that those looking for what you have to offer are finding you easily.Without it you are virtually missing many key components that will make your business successful and you will soon discover, as many other entrepreneurs have, that it is a huge struggle to overcome.

What Makes Your Products Special

The best way to make a product feel luxurious and exclusive is to very explicitly tell everyone about the finest details of this product that make it special. It's really not over the top to talk about the fine silver filligree made in Europe or the special process that went in to creating such a unique and exclusive product. The more you tell people why your product is special, the more they will believe it.

It may seem boring to detail everything from the design of the leather engraving to the special and laborious and perfect cut of a diamond that reflects 72 facets, or whatever. But, really it's not. People who are very into status and image love to hear exactly how this piece is special so they can turn around and tell their friends too. And, hopefully, by doing so you also get some more sales from word of mouth too.


Limit The Product Roll out

Another great way to make your products exclusive is to limit them to a certain number of people. This is done with artist's prints and it helps to spur sales for people who may be sitting on the sidelines thinking the offer will stand forever. Make sure your customers know that this is such a good deal, and only a few select people will get to take you up on it for that promotion. And, if you do make a promise not to roll it out the same way again, whether it's by giving the same price or the same design or whatever, you have to stick to your promise. It's only an exclusive offer if later on you don't offer the exact same offer to someone else and disappoint your earlier customers.

Online Promotion Tips


If you're having trouble promoting your products in a bad market, you have to start to figure out ways to market them to increase the demand for them. One way is to create an exclusive aura that appeals to people who are status seekers. This doesn't just work with high income demographics, although that is generally where it is used, but it also can appeal to middle-income people who want to upgrade their image by taking part in exclusive products and offerings - This is Why Exclusivity Sells!




Think Cars


Would you rather been seen driving a value Honda or a classy BMW? Well, if you're like most people, the car that you would prefer, if you had the money, would be the BMW. Is it because a BMW is such a unique car that no other car in the world can come close to it? Probably not, at least not in the minds of those people who opt for it. It has more to do with the instant association of wealth and status that driving a BMW confers. They even are referred to affectionately a “beemers” that have such an impact on class consciousness. Well, there is no reason you can't create the same aura of exclusivity around your products and services to help you market them more.

How to Survive a Recession




Recessions happen and you can see it and take the appropriate steps before it is too late. Here are a few tips you should know about to help you survive.

1. If you happen to be in debt, get out as quickly as possible by finding ways to pay for it. If ever you need help, hire a financial consultant who can help you with your budget.


2. We have to pay the bills. Instead of just paying for them, perhaps you should see if you can switch to another company that offers cheaper rates. Take a look at your electricity, gas, mobile phone, television broadband package, insurance and even your bank account then make the necessary changes.

3. You should also make cuts on daily spending. When you go to the grocery, buy only what is necessary or switch to a cheaper brand. If there are items in promo, get it because they could be just as good or even better to what you are used to buying.

4. One thing that every grocery always is people offering free samples. Since you are there, get some as this will surely save you a few dollars for other more important items. If the grocery you frequent gives out vouchers, make use of it as well.

5. Do you always have to go out for lunch when you are at the office? Of course not. You can prepare the food at home and then take it to work. Your kids should also have a lunch bag instead of getting their weekly allowance so even at a young age, they understand the current situation.

6. If possible, ask your employer if you can do some of the work at home. This will help you save gas since you don’t have to drive to work. Just be sure you are as productive at home like you are in the office. If this is not possible, see if you can carpool with someone from the office.

7. Owning a large vehicle may sound cool but since it is a gas guzzler, perhaps it is time to trade this in with a smaller one. The advantage of a smaller car is that you don’t burn that much gas so you don’t have to spend that much when it is time to refuel the tank.

8. You can cut down your electricity expenses by replacing the bulbs to those that use lower wattage. You may also want to put the heater down by one degree, re insulated the ceiling and stop drafts coming from the windows and doors.

9. Cutting down expenses is just one way to survive a recession. You can make money from it by selling some old stuff or renting a spare room.

10. If your work is not stable, perhaps you should consider switching to a career that will ensure better job security for the long term. One way is to go back to school.

11. For those who have money to spare, invest in long term investments such as stocks or bonds. Their value will go up once the recession is over.




A recession lasts for months so you have to know what to do when it happens. Your ability to stay financially stable is the only way for you to deal with a possible loss of income and inflated prices.

Don't Quit

"When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill.
When funds are low and the debts are high.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As everyone of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far: So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you must not QUIT.

What to Do During a Recession ?

Setting up an emergency fund will be very useful especially when there is a recession. This will enable you to survive several months without worrying if you still have money to buy stuff especially when there is a slowdown.But when it hits you, cleaning up your balance sheet is just one way to survive the financial crisis. To help you along, here are a few other ideas which you may find useful.

In 2008, the unemployment rate grew by 6.1%, its highest level in 5 years. The last time it hit this mark was in 2003 as the economy was still recovering from the 2000-2001 recession. These job cuts happened in the airline, travel, retail and service industry just to name a few. If you happen to work in one of these industries, you should probably consider a career shift to an occupation that is more stable even if it means going back to school.

Going to school is not an option if you are raising a family. The next best thing to do will be take an extra job. Just make sure that the time you spend here does not affect your primary job otherwise, you could lose it.

Most Americans have invested in the stock market and if you are one of them, don’t panic and think about selling it just because things are down. You have to remember that a recession is cyclical so your portfolio will recover in the future. You just have to be patient because it is going to take several months before everything is back to normal. But if you do have the money, now is the best time to buy stocks and bonds. Why? Because these are relatively cheap and you can cash it in when the economy is back on track.

Apart from going back to school and getting a second job, perhaps you can use your skills and then offer this as a service to others. If you like to cook, make some pastries and then sell these to potential stores. If you are good with your hands, maybe you can help repair leaks should your neighbor have a problem with their plumbing.If you own an SUV, trade it in for a small vehicle because you get better mileage with a smaller car. If you have the money, see if you can get one that is a hybrid because apart from consuming less gas, you get tax breaks for investing in alternative forms of energy.

When you go to the grocery, only buy the essentials. Resist the urge to buy things that the kids want. If you can’t say no, try to get a similar brand that is just as good as what they want. Lastly, we all have bills to pay monthly. If possible, switch to better and more affordable services because each penny counts during these dire times.

There are other ways to survive a recession apart from those mentioned. By following these tips and getting advice from a financial planner, you are sure to wither out this storm. Until that day comes, you shouldn’t live in fear but rather make the most of it because this isn’t the first time that you will face a recession and it surely won’t be the last.

The Blog

Before you even start to create you own blog. It is necessary to know what blog really is. The term blog is actually derived from the word Weblog or Web log.Back in the days, around the late 1990’s, these Weblogs are utilized by users to track updates and references to other resources online. They served as journals, which made them useful as a publishing tool for the user’s stream of consciousness. Of course, the readers can still comment and share their thoughts on just abut anything under the sun.
Technically, blogs are also known as CMS or Content Management Systems. Being a CMS, blogs allow the writers to easily publish to a specific Web site and manage the content without the need of having to deal with the program code. Publishing software also provides users with a GUI or Graphical User Interface for easy pointing and clicking of their articles.Through the use of easy-to-do procedures, you can perform configuration and set up, which can ease your job as a blogger since the tool can automatically organize your published articles the next time you publish.
