Buy, Review, Scam: Internet Marketing – Questions and Answers
Why do the majority Internet marketers fail online? Is the economy to blame? If it’s so simple, why are they not getting it?
The Internet Marketing Strategy Lessons
The basis of any Internet marketing strategy to be successful in getting consistent money, is controlled by the 4 marketing rules mentioned earlier. The Internet marketers that use it are not reluctant to encourage followers to use it too. The majority focus on teaching one or two of these rules, or if you are fortunate you get a brief overview to it.
Then there are three other reasons to the failings of Internet marketing that one needs to consider. Time, money, knowledge.
These have in most instances been the issues right from the beginning of trading. They are inter-related. Without time, money or knowledge the marketing process is brought to a halt. Let me explain.
Question #1 – If this is the case, why then do the majority Internet marketers fail online?
Internet Marketing Strategy | The Problem
Without time, money or knowledge one is prone to go out for the easiest, shiniest object there is to make an instant success of it. In itself, it is understandable and considering the circumstances, a reasonable thing to do. Sadly though, they are vulnerable and bait to skimmers and philandering thieves in the Internet marketing world.
What happens here is, when a little bit of money is set aside they buy the much professed magic button. Only to discover that it is of no value to them and disappointment sets in. Not accepting defeat another purchase is made and so the vicious cycle continues.
Exasperated and hungry for knowledge they grasp for any free information they can get, forsaking time. Time spent on the tricks of the trade equals money not generated. Eventually they give up because they do not have an Internet marketing strategy in place. There is no businss model.
Internet Marketing Strategy | The Solution
Work with things that you have at hand. Time and knowledge. It is now very clear that it will be a long process if you do not have money. The smartest way is to forget about making quick money online for now, (once you have gained some knowledge only then can you apply some Internet marketing tactics to those instant money ideas, however these will not make you rich). Rather focus in acquiring knowledge to develop your Internet marketing strategy.
Question #2 – Is the economy to blame?
No, Internet marketing is a vast industry. Businesses and the public are spending more time and money online than ever before.
The Internet Marketing Industry Is Here To Stay
In most instances, the problem lies on the lack of ground work before setting up the website.
- Poor keyword research on the chosen niche is made, to only find out later that the niche or trend is not worth going after. Or the choice of keywords are too competitive.
- Then not applying the Internet marketing business to a business model. Just selling any or every product out there.
Question #3 – If its so simple, why are they not getting it?
Action, focus are two major problems that will now be added to the list. So now we have action, focus, time, money or knowledge.
Action - Let us divide it into two sub-categories:
- No action - laziness, fear of the unknown, or doubt in oneself.
- Action taken - knowledge is there and product or service is either of poor quality, incomplete or with no instructions to follow. Frustration and exasperation sets in and so they move on to buying the next product…
Focus - Lack of focus is the single biggest problem for any Internet marketer today. The reasons for this is because of the lack of a Internet marketing strategy not being put in place.
Knowledge - There is a lot of free information online today. Some good content, however the majority is out-dated or re-hashed content leading the newcomer to believe that it is the next best thing to have.
On a positive note: Using this content to gain knowledge and applying it to your (USP) Unique Selling Point is a very wise marketing strategy. Perhaps by creating a up-to-date product with focus on a hot trend or a popular ever-green niche is wise.
Time and Money - Or should I say, time equals money. Let me explain. So much money is spent from a purchase of one product after another, just to look for a quick fix to making money.
This is then pushed aside to the next best thing, and then the next. No strategy, no focus, little or no action… Kaboom! There goes your empire.
My reasoning is, if you cannot create an article, or a video, or a banner, and you are really not interested in learning how to do it… Then why not pay $5 and get someone at Fiverr.com do it for you? This frees you to continue with the more important things.
Let us say that a video will take you an hour or a day, how much has that cost you timewise? Even though you have not seen money trading hands, you are nowhere near closer to the finnishing line.
