Trends aren’t just restricted to physical advertising, they can be observed in internet marketing as well. You can exploit these trends to attract more customers and gain more revenue. But just like real world trends, if you don’t jump on these online trends quickly enough, you’ll find yourself left behind. Currently, social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Friendster are among the major marketing trends.

Know how internet marketing trends can help you to raise the profit with social media marketing.

Users can create their profiles free of cost and update their hobbies, personal and professional details, etc on almost all of these networks. It is also possible for users to post pictures and videos on most of these. Searching people and adding them as friends can be done once the profile creation is complete.

The whole point of these networking sites is to get in contact with friends, family, and, sometimes, total strangers. What really piques our curiosity is the complete stranger’s part. It’s possible for you to reach millions of people by creating a profile for your business and adding people as your friends. Unique profiles can be created for bands, authors and filmmakers on some of these sites, for example, MySpace.

Looking for your profile and adding you as a friend becomes much easier with this. It is good to be added by people but take heed that you do not appear as spam when you invite people to be friends. There are enough fake spam profiles on these sites that they’ve all cracked down on people sending out mass invites.

Make it a point to ask only those people who are eager to see your offering. The use of keywords is also one more internet marketing trend. The latest craze these days is Search engine optimization, or SEO. It involves using keywords, or words that describe your site and your products/services, a certain number of times on your website and in your site’s titles and metadata. Use of these keywords repeatedly will make your site a lot more interesting to search engines such as Google and Yahoo. The premise is that your site gets lesser views and business when it is listed on the third or fourth page of search results than it would if it was listed on the first page.

This is obviously not true all the time. If your page doesn’t include what the user is looking for, they aren’t going to buy anything from you. Still, there is merit to the part of the theory that says you’ll get more traffic. A tad bit of research on SEO will enable you to optimize your website yourself; at the same time there are numerous companies that are readily available who will get the job done. Be judicious now: the one thing you wouldn’t wish for is a person who writes text for your web page that is all keywords.

In case your page gives the impression of being flat to a normal human, it is likely that they will look right through it in support of a page that does. You website can get loads of additional hits, if you concurrently put to use, the social networks and SEO systems. The importance of getting people to your website cannot be undermined by the fact that hits don’t always convert over to dollars. Abiding by these internet marketing trends is a tactic that will ensure a rise in hits, usually translating to a boost in business.

Search Engine Optimization or SEO is the process used to increse the traffic  the search engines send to your domain by building links, content and authority to your site. The Search Engines shows websites in their results through algorithmic process. Proper optimization increases the liklihood that a particular website comes at the top rankings for a search on your chosen keywords.

Read the Free Ebook…  “Are You Getting Lucky Tonight“, let me know what you think and if I can help you build your business.

What is the most successful online attraction marketing method you can use to succeed with your Internet network marketing business?

Some people  would have said the smooth sales pitch or the loud sales blurb. Well, that’s okay for some but in this business they don’t come anywhere near the simple and proven system of teaching. Teaching has been the one method used since we first walked the planet that has been able to move people.
Internet Attraction Marketing

So why is teaching so powerful? In the Internet attraction marketing model, you need to earn the right to be able to tell a prospect about what you have to offer. You do that by teaching them what you know and creating trust with them.

So how can you teach? One of the most powerful ways is with attraction marketing articles. Articles are the lifeblood of the internet and are the perfect vehicle to teach prospects and provide the solutions they are looking for. They have been written to create a relationship with the people reading them and to build trust.

And the best way to build trust with someone is to teach them what you know. Have you looked at most of the successful people online? What’s the one thing they are doing that those failing aren’t?

Teaching!

It could be they are teaching others how to make money, how to be healthy, how to grow vegetables, how to find a date…just about anything you can think of. At the center of just about any successful promotional material whether it’s to sell a product or generate a lead is usually an educational or an instruction of some sort that is offered to people as an exchange. This could be either for their information or their money.

Teach First, Sell Later…

In my opinion, getting their information first up is probably a better course of action that just getting their money once and then never seeing them again.

But the message here especially if you’re serious about succeeding with your attraction marketing or branding yourself as an authority within your niche, is to teach first and sell second. When you teach right there is almost no need to dust off the sales pitch and use it.

Those that have recognized this and applied it in general have become successful. So why aren’t more people using it. Well, it’s one of the drawbacks of  Internet attraction marketing if there are any. That’s that it simply takes time to develop trust with a prospect.

Most people don’t have that much patience, so they bounce around from one opportunity to the next hoping for the get rich quick fix. It never happens.

When the owner of an MLM company is structuring his/her compensation plan, do you think they count on the retail sales distributors provide to keep their doors open? 

Most MLM’s are structured so that the distributors who are on autoship are the people who are counted on to pay for the business expenses. 

While every company “needs” consumer sales to survive, MLM’s themselves don’t need many.  Consumer sales are “dessert” so to speak. 

As an example: 

Monty is a business builder with XYZ company and has committed to a $250 monthly autoship order (which is about 5 months for the average consumer).  Once Monty places the order, he can either sell the products or keep them for his own personal use. 

This is actually a brilliant move because consumers are fickle.  The liklihood of them committing to $50 per month over a long period of time, much less $210 per month is extremely low (remember tax and s&h)  .

The network marketer is the entree and the consumer is the dessert!

One of my readers commented on my last post “ Internet Marketing Tools | Does One Size Fit All? ” that the public is much more technically savvy and able to discover sellers who have set out with the sole intention of  “duping” the public or at the very least, it’s all about them!   Still, many people are new to the Internet and the world of marketing.  Being new, everyone has a learning curve.  

Network Marketing Partners

I am now with a good group of people in my primary business who I share information with on a regular basis (it wasn’t always this way). We talk to each other and see if anyone has tried the product or knows anything about it. We’ll have each other read the websites for information or check to see if one of the group has something similar we can all use.

If you have a group of experienced Internet marketers who are capable and willing to share all information, this is an excellent venue  and utilizes everyone’s experiences for the benefit of everyone.

Social Networking

Because I made some mistakes early on, I now do a lot more “networking” with people I meet and have developed a relationship with through various companies or social media sites.  

Ask the question, “Do you know anything about…..?”  then check it out on forums for yourself.  Try a free version or look at any excerpts they may offer for you to “test drive”.  An opportunity to “test” the product  before purchasing the full package is always a great option.

As I mentioned on the last post, every single site I’ve been on that has Internet marketing tools say THEY have the very best material for you in every way. They all say the same thing, so how do you as a new marketer determine what is right for you?

A rating of the material with regards to necessary prerequisite skills would be helpful. Think of the wide variety of Web Site builder programs for example. Some are very “plug and play”, but will allow a pre-determined amount of templates or you can create custom web sites with very advanced programs.

How about a sample of “what you get” so that you can determine if it will work for you.? Maybe they could put an excerpt of the Internet Marketing Tools available on-line for you to see how they write, the topics they will cover, the depth of the information?

You can type in “the author’s name“ or “name of material” and “forum”.  This may bring up some discussion of the material for sale.  Having said that, remember people are more likely to post a negative comment before a positive one.

You also need to read all comments for a fair description of the material.  Maybe the network marketing training was too technical for Jack S., but great for the advanced user. Possibly the material was written only for beginners and that’s why Jodi M. was unhappy.  You can usually tell a fair review verses an emotional rant.

Talk to other people in your industry and see what Internet marketing tools they might recommend. You might be surprised at the number of helpful network marketing tips you get … for free. Ultimately you must decide if this expert fits with your needs. Is there a match?

This morning I read on another blog that the federal government  may begin to require negative testimonies as well as positive ones when showing reviews of the sales and marketing materials of “gurus”. 

Many of these materials cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. I’ve seen some of them and had noticed there were never negative comments. The material seemed to be perfect for every user at all levels.

“Are there no negative comments?“  I mean, is the material “meaty” enough for everyone?  All of the purchasers feel they received more than enough information for their money?

We must remember they are business people making a profit on their marketing material as well as promoting themselves.  On every single site I’ve been on, they have the very best material for you in every way. They all say the same thing, so how do you determine as a new marketer what is right for you?

Selling their materials or programs is perfectly fine, but if testimonies are involved, maybe they need to include both positive and negative reviews.

There are many ways to promote your blog.  I have found several blogging techniques that are helpful as well as a couple of really good blog promotion websites.

In order to build your blogging community, you must:

1) Post quality content and use good writing style

You must have something of “value” to others to say and understand the rules of spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

2) Post frequent updates…. a minimum of one post every 5 days is suggested

3) Use good keywords for your blog

Google looks for relevance throughout the post. If they determine your material doesn’t work with your keywords, Google will not pick it up.

4) Keep your posts and paragraphs short

Most people scan a post first to determine if it’s worth a read.  If it is, then they’ll go back and spend their time to read the whole thing.

If the post is too long and cumbersome, many people will just move on to the next blog.

5) Refer your readers to other great sites and material.  Here are two that you might find helpful when promoting your own blog.

http://condron.us/
Condron is a blog surfing and promotion site. You can add your blog in a rotation schedule to be seen by others.

http://socialmediascience.com/
Social Media Science is a new program that allows you to submit your articles for advertising and possible promotion by others.

While the above blogging techniques are certainly not all inclusive, they will help you get started.

It’s true, there are network marketers considered to be in limbo. That is, they are between work from home businesses or have tried it before and are currently in a situation where they are looking for the right opportunity or may believe the right home-based business may not exist for them.

Can you see the power in going after a targeted niche who already knows why it will be good for them as opposed to a group who still don’t know why they need a network marketing opportunity?

That’s why old school networking methods such as the “three foot rule” are detrimental to building a networking business, and why it’s such a killer for a person’s confidence. It gets back to putting your offer in front of people who are ready to receive it.

Have you asked your prospects IF they are looking for a home-based business and what are they looking for IN a business? If you simply put it in front of anyone, then the chances are very strong the majority will reject it thus leaving you dejected. 

Worse case scenario,  you will eventually become disheartened from the “not interested” responses and bail out of your own work from home business, thus giving up on an industry with a great future.
