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.

Website owners have found that they can increase their profits by eight times or more simply by using web based email marketing. It’s important to understand the typical buying cycle, the importance of follow up and how a back end increases your bottom line in order to understand how email marketing can affect your business.

Understand the Buying Cycle

The majority of  people  simply will not buy the first time they see your website. About 99% of your visitors will land on your website and leave without buying anything.

That doesn’t mean they weren’t interested in your product. It just means they weren’t interested right now. Or perhaps they just don’t trust you or know you enough yet.

Letting these people go is like letting 99% of your advertising dollars go to waste. Instead, to really maximize your profits you must learn to follow up and get sales from the remaining 99% who didn’t buy the first time around.

Follow Up for Major Sales Increase

But you still can turn 1% visitor into buyer by following up which is as much as 8% in the long run. That’s an 800% increase in revenue!

However, if you follow up then over time they’ll start to see that you’re a real business that will take care of their customers. They’ll begin to know and trust you.

You’ll also get your message in front of them at different points in their life, and you have a relatiionship with them when they are ready to buy.

Back End Is Importance to Your Bottom Line

Your real money is in your backend because these are the products and services they will see after a customer made their first order. Most business owners neglect this and focus only at front end sales.

Let’s say each month you make 30 sales at $100 for a total of $3,000. Most business owners would focus on getting those 30 sales to 40 sales.

Instead, a savvy business person would try and sell a $400 product to all 30 of those who bought. If about 20% take them up on it, that’s a $2,400 bump right off the bat .

Then a savvy business owner might try and sell a $1,000 product. With the right marketing, about 10% will buy. That’s an extra $3,000.

Finally, a savvy business person will likely try and implement some kind of membership program. At $97 a month , if it’s tied into the original product about 50% will sign up for about 4 months. That’s (15 times $97 times 4 equals) and extra $5,820 a month.

That’s an extra $11,220 on top of the $3,000 you’re already making from just 30 sales a month. As you can tell, selling more to your existing customers is much more profitable than trying to get more new customers.

The best way to sell more to existing customers is through web based email marketing. It’s the only free way to consistently follow up.

You now know the how the typical buying cycle works, you understand the importance of follow up and you know how much a good back end can boost your business. Apply this and web based email marketing to help your business explode its profits.

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.

Phillip realizes that MLM companies are not the only ones who must devise a way to get the consumer to buy their products and still allow them to make money.  They may take a loss on one product (loss leader) because they know they will make it up elsewhere. 

Cartridge Sales

Take the printer Phillip was looking into buying.  The company could take a loss or break even on the printer because they know the consumer must buy their specialized ink cartridges because they have made them unique to this printer.  They price the cartridges so that the profit margin will more than make up for any loss on the printer itself.  Who benefits?  The printer manufacturer, of course.  They have devised a way to ensure they will recoup the cost of the printer through their ink.   

MLM Profits

The MLM company offers a large discount to those committed business builders knowing that they will be the largest users of their products, but requires a quantity purchase in order to receive a check.  It’s a similar concept as our printer company.  They have found their consumer !  It it up to the distributor to figure out how to sell or use their MLM products. The distributor is like a MLM Companies’ retailer.  Each level of distribution must effectively market their product in order to succeed.  The MLM company markets themselves and their product  to gain and retain distributors and then the distributors must effectively market  to gain retail customers or distributors of their own.

How is a retailer different from your local distributor? ….  this next post

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!

As an owner of a work from home business you have options that those who are working for someone else do not enjoy, but you must stay on top of the changing business world or fall behind.

While some of your competitors may fold during this time, but new competition may join the home-based business world, with new strategies for taking the lion’s share of the market share.

What can you do to thrive during a recession?

Reach New Borders
Change the borders of your territory. Even if your opportunity does not involve geographical limitations, this is the time to expand your reach to new prospects.

Prospects will still be looking for your products or opportunity, but the prospect may be found in different places than before.

The Internet is a tremendous resource for changing your reach without big outlays in new physical locations, additional franchises, and other requirements that many traditional businesses have. Use the advantage to build your work from home business.

There is little doubt network marketers are your number one target market when promoting your network marketing opportunity. Why?

Network marketers already know the business, how it works, and more importantly, what’s required. Network marketers are people who are normally looking for a better way of life.

But just pitching to MLMers the old school way won’t cut it. Don’t be surprised if you get run out of town just putting it mildly. Targeting network marketers directly is frowned upon and worse still, it’s spells desperation.

When we say targeting network marketers for your home-based business opportunity, we are talking about putting your offer in front of people who actually want to receive it. Can you see the difference? It’s huge. Instead of harassing and chasing people down, branding yourself and putting your message in the middle of a hungry crowd will create magic as far as lead generation is concerned.

As far as network marketing tips are concerned, avoiding a desperate demeanor on the phone is high on the list. For example, many new recruits are so excited about speaking to their first prospect they already have them recruited and placed in their organization before they’ve even spoken with them.

Another network marketing tip for you is to never ask your prospect to join your business because you’re in the best company which has the best products, life-changing in fact, and they have the best compensation plan bar none. Most everyone believes this about their company, and most companies have some very good products.

The prospect will see a desperate individual trying to sign them up at any cost. In fact, you’ll come across as having no interest in their needs, only yours.

Today’s network marketing tip is to make sure you put your prospect’s needs ahead of your own.  How can you help them reach their goals?  Can you help them? 

 Be honest with them about what your company has to offer and let them decide if it works for them.  Be sure to offer your readers something of value.  I offer my readers a Free Shopping Membership to my online shopping mall.  There is no obligation except to save a little money youthey shop.

So why are network marketers likely to be more receptive to your Internet marketing business? Because they have already bought before. It’s that simple. It’s the old principle of finding a market in a niche and selling to them over and over.

But with network marketing, if you can show you have the solution and the ability to teach the how of the business, then you increase significantly the chances that a prospect will make up their mind to join you in business.

However, there is a lot of work to do, but once you have a solid marketing system in place with a powerful pre-sell phase attached to it, you’ll be amazed at how quickly your business will grow.

Network marketers are a hardy lot. They generally believe in the concept; that’s why they may have had more than one crack at it. That’s why they are hands down your best target market.

These people know that Internet marketing can work given the right company and business model.  It may take them more than one try to find what’s right for them, but doesn’t it sometimes take more than one job or career choice to find a path that works for an individual?
