I don't think there is a better way of reaching a large market of people than marketing on the internet.

Is everyone agreeable on this statement?
 
In order to be able to reach so many people and be so cost effective it's going to be almost impossible to accomplish effectively any other way than by the internet.  Certainly I can't do it "offline" for the costs that I can do it online for.

Do you also agree with this statement?

 

Okay if you agree with these statements then here's my problem;

Finding the best way to do it? 
Is there a best way?
Is it a combination of a variety of techniques?
Are there actually "guru's" out there teaching techniques or are they just in it to take your money?

 

We all know it's more than just putting up a website and hoping for people to come and look at it.  We have to tell people about it, we have to advertise and market it.   Driving traffic to our site's and then converting that traffic to sales is the key to our success as internet marketer's, without it we don't survive, or become successful and profitable.

 

So do we market someone elses products or programs?
Do we develop our own products?
What is the best way, or is there a best way, or is it just a matter that what works for one does not always work the same for everyone?

 

With myself, I promote multiple programs and opportunities which work in concert with each other, or so I believe they do.  I do not have a product of my own, although I am in the process of putting together an ebook (more on that another time).  I am also an affiliate
marketer of certain products which work in conjunction with the programs I market.

 

I know others who market the exact same programs as I do, and some of them are ten times more successful and profitable than myself? 

What are they doing that I'm not ~ most of them won't offer any information.
They will indicate that they use a variety of marketing efforts:
Traffic Exchanges to Social Marketing to Article submittals, but they don't delve much deeper into the particulars of what works well for them.

 

So, going back to the start; my question was............
"what can online marketing do for us?"

Basically when it's done correctly, it can help us get more exposure,  more credibility, more customers and yes ultimately, increase sales for profitablilty ~ some will even become wealthy.

 

So keeping in mind that the Business Roundtable is all about having a place for us to share and offer feedback in order to learn from everyone else here, what is actually working for everyone else?

Do you have the perfect product or program?
Are you an affiliate marketer?
Where or who is your market?
Where is your traffic coming from?
What do the search engines like about your site that gets you traffic?
Do you do article marketing?
Does your blog drive traffic for your business?
Do you market by YouTube?

Are you set up as an authority in your marketplace with what you promote?
Where are you obtaining top quality content from, do you write it all yourself?


I know that online marketing, when it is done correctly, can set things in motion for our businesses and bring huge success so let's contribute and help each other become huge success's by offering some feedback on what's working for each of us?
What do you think.............

I'm just looking for some input and answers that will help us all find out what online marketing can do for us.

 

Thanks for reading.
