Common Knowledge Amongst Internet Marketers, Part 3

There are certain topics that the seasoned information marketers take for granted and when communicating with newbies, they tend to forget the advantages they have. Welcome to the third installment of Common Knowledge among Internet Marketers.
When you’re a newbie to internet marketing, you come on full bore with the “I’m gonna make a boatload of money from the web” attitude. You think you can do it all, make a killing, and be on easy street in, say, six-twelve months.

The best advice?

Slow down and learn the basics.

Here are the last three subjects in this series that you should seriously look at to ensure your online success.

1. Drive traffic:

Learning how to drive traffic to whatever website you are promoting, whether it’s your own, an affiliate product, or AdSense ads, is the most important thing you need to learn. If you were in college to get a 4 year degree in ‘Successfully Making Money On The Internet’, the subject of marketing would be covered 3 out of the 4 years.

It’s that important.

What’s the point of spending all your time creating a fantastic product and website if no one knows it’s there and no one visits or buys it? That’s like throwing a New Year’s Eve Party in Central Park and not inviting your guests.

Take the time to look at and learn the many ways to drive traffic to your website(s) and product(s). Some methods are completely free but some can drive you to the poor farm rather quickly. Decide which ones appeal to you and give you the best results while taking up the least of your time.

Here are just a few ways to drive traffic:

Use Pay Per Click (PPC) (can be spendy)
Buy ad space in newsletters (not quite as spendy)
Have an affiliate program and let them drive traffic for you (cheap)
Comment on blogs (free)
Comment on forums with your link in your sig (free)
Article marketing (free, depending on which you submit to)
Participate in giveaways (free, unless you upgrade)

2. Have a mentor.

When you’re a newbie to information marketing, you can, like most, struggle, trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. One way to speed up the learning curve is to have a mentor. This can simply be another person whom you have gotten to know who also does information marketing that you respect and have been following. Watch what they do, what they say in their emails and how they say it, how their websites are set up, what business model they follow, etc.

Another option for a mentor is to contact a favorite online marketer and ask them a few questions. Pick someone who’s emails you have been reading and who you believe is approachable. Not someone who is so successful that they won’t have time to talk to you. Perhaps that person has a coaching program that you could invest in. Many newbie marketers use this particular method and find that their successes come much quicker.

3. Outsource.

It’s not so hard to get things done when you’re first starting out. But what happens if you run into something you don’t know how to do? Should you spend (waste) countless hours trying to figure it out? Or spend (invest) $25 to have someone set it up for you in 10 minutes? Keep in mind you could be using those hours doing more productive tasks towards building your business.

As you journey deeper into this wacky world of information marketing… you’ll begin to learn that you just can’t do everything yourself. It’s at that point that you will definitely need to start outsourcing some of your work, especially the more boring things or the ones you particularly hate to do.

With all 3 of these subjects, driving traffic, having a mentor, and outsourcing some of your work, you still need to have a plan of action.  Part of that plan should be to sign up for my K.A.R. (Knowledge-Application-Results) newsletter, where you will get ‘inside information’ on what I am doing to build my Information Marketing business and how you can follow those steps.

For more help making a plan and getting started, visit my good friend Peggy Baron’s IM-Focused.com website for further information and also for free tips.  You can certainly become an online success with a plan, a roadmap, a great vehicle to drive, and a full tank of gas.

By now I am sure you’ve heard about Edmund Loh & Stephen Luc’s PLR Gold Videos that came out on Monday and hopefully you’ve checked them out and possibly purchased them.

Here’s a question for you.

Do you know how to brand them as your own and sell them on your website so you can turn a profit?

You don’t? Well, I have the perfect solution for you.

Doug Champigny, creator of both PLR products and e-books and videos teaching how to use PLR, is offering a PLR Gold Video training seminar to help us out.

Did you catch that? I said us.

YES! I am going to be on that call also. Believe it or not, I need some help with the ability to brand the PLR Cyberdust that is gathering on my hard drive so that I can turn around and add more profit to my bottom line.

That’s how important PLR material is to me and why I NEED to be on this training.

In this seminar, Doug will walk us through HOW to brand these videos and put them online as our own, including how to build in the all important back end where your sales will truly explode!

Here’s the catch….this seminar is only open to the first 100 people and Doug is taking this page down
on Sunday, or when all 100 spots are gone, whichever comes first.

I have my spot already, and I would highly recommend getting over there as soon as possible and secure
your spot.

Insider information tells me that there may only be about 90 spots left, and they are going fairly fast.

What are you waiting for? Get over there now and sign up…you don’t want to miss this fantastic training from a PLR master!

Until next time…

So you’ve started your blog and added your opt-in form with the hope that you would generate some traffic, build your list and make some money.

Am I Right?

Have you actually started getting “tons” of traffic and are you actually making any real income from that blog?

How’s the list building going?

In other words, have you starting driving traffic to it so you can make some cash from both your list and your blog?

If not, you’re going to want to listen to what I have to share with you today because without it, you’re dead in your tracks.

You’re up the proverbial creek with a paddle.

What I am going to share is of the utmost importance to your business.

You see, in order for a blog, or mailing list for that matter, to be successful, it needs to
have content and it needs to be updated regularly.

If you’re not adding new content on a regular basis (at least 3 times a week), you aren’t
going to make any real money consistently from it.

That’s where I come in. I know that it’s hard to produce tons of content for your blog or blogs.

Believe me, I know how hard it is!

I have a solution for you.

I’m talking about a solution that will allow you to start at least one more blog a month without writing a single word! Two or more if you want!

Nitro Blogging
