Three Critical Questions You Should Ask Yourself Before Launching Your Home Based Internet Marketing Business

 

Are you reviewing this article as part of your research and due diligence before choosing your internet marketing partner?

If so, then here are some helpful tips and questions to explore before you begin your exciting journey. In this first article in a short series, the experienced author and coach George, identifies some of the early preparatory questions which need to be considered before launching an online marketing venture. These questions, addressed here and subsequent in this short series provide a valuable input and experience that can help make the launch of a new internet marketing business successful from launch day.

How independent do I want to be?

It is really important that you consider if your business is going to be uniquely and directly related to you as an individual, providing real independence from any associated internet marketing company, or if you believe that your best approach is to align yourself with a company, group or team who share the same objectives as you. This decision really boils down to how you want to work and if you are comfortable operating on your own or if you would rather be part of a broader team where you can connect with others in a similar situation to yourself. Many options are available to you whatever your preference.

Do I want this venture to become my primary income source?

Many people starting their own internet business start by treating their new business as a second income stream and they establish their venture while in full time employment. Many successful entrepreneurs grow their businesses from a situation where the business starts off as a secondary income steam, but very soon becomes the main source of income as a result of success and hard work. Decide as early as practicable if you are going to are going to limit the number of hours you can dedicate to your new business because of your full time job and make the decision as early as you can if you wish your internet venture to be your main source of income as this will allow you to focus your attention on the business which is yours and allow you to either quit your job or, scale back your involvement in other things.

Do I have a target market focus, or can I sell to multiple markets?

This is important in identifying either your niche market or the way that you establish your business allowing you to promote and sell other peoples products as an affiliate. If you elect to have a very clear focus around a niche, based upon your passions and interests, then you need to conduct adequate research and buying patterns of your target market and then tailor your positioning to that market. If you choose to sell to multiple markets, then you can adopt a more generic positioning.

By considering and addressing the question posed above your first few months as an ambitious entrepreneur can be rewarding, satisfying and enjoyable, knowing that you are laying the foundations for a highly successful business.

New generation in relationship marketing

 

Internet Marketing Expert Predicts Huge Opportunity for Online Marketing Industry with a new Generation Used to Traditional Relationship Marketing.

The world of internet marketing has boomed in recent years as the online commercial industry has benefited from advances in technology and media convergence. In a recent communication to members and affiliates internet marketing legend Mike Dillard of Magnetic Sponsoring identified a major relationship marketing gap in the online marketing business and surprisingly the thirty something Dillard identifies his parents’ generation as the target marketing focus for those involved in relationship marketing.

This has been driven by the recent financial downturn and the pressure on households and older individuals who have seen their pensions and 401k plans come under enormous pressure and even more painful has been the major unemployment impact from redundancies, lay offs and downsizing.

Those who have experienced a more traditional relationship marketing approach, including offline networking and corporate jobs are now seriously considering how they can benefit from the boom in the online marketing business opportunity.

Herein lies the enormous potential for the online marketing entrepreneur of today. There is a whole generation who are excited by the online relationship marketing potential but many of them feel overwhelmed by the daunting internet marketing learning curve they face.

So, in classic marketing parlance this situation neatly presents a group of people with a clear need and an industry which is booming and ready to fill that need. The internet marketing solution for the older generation is presented by those successful young entrepreneurs who have taken the relationship marketing online industry by storm.

There is even a relationship marketing niche within this opportunity for those corporate types who have recently embarked upon their own business as an internet marketer. I refer to this as the cross over niche. There are thousands of individuals now beginning to make significant income online who have spent the majority of their careers in corporate jobs. They have years of experience in traditional corporate roles where relationship marketing was conducted in meeting rooms, bars, restaurants, on the golf course or in exclusive resorts in hotels. Well within this cross over niche that experience and those skills are now able to be channelled to support the education, coaching and mentoring of the “old school” generation. These new entrants to the online relationship marketing world are seeking to build close ties with a group of online business marketers who understand their backgrounds and business experience as well as possess the new skills of today’s successful internet marketer.

So, within the online relationship marketing sector a new opportunity in target marketing is evolving which calls for cross over niche skills, blending the old with the new and leveraging the power of a global industry in combination with the experience of a more traditional relationship marketing generation.

VIDEO MARKETING – TIPS IF YOU ARE NERVOUS

 

If you’re a newcomer to marketing on the internet, and you’re looking to use the video medium as a way to connect with your audience, then this article will provide you with valuable suggestions for success.

In my many years in corporate life, I was called upon regularly to conduct training sessions, webinars, and to produce video material used in staff communication and quite often in client pitching. As with so many issues associated with starting something new, getting to grips with the basics can sometimes be daunting. I’m going to provide you here with some helpful tips to enable you to overcome fears and uncertainty and to learn how to begin to master techniques which will help you convey powerful messages in the video medium.

1) Take time to prepare what you want to say. This may sound obvious, but I’ve seen so many videos on the internet where people have clearly not done their important preparation. Now this doesn’t mean that you need to write out a script and memorise that parrot fashion. In fact, it’s actually more important that you exude a relaxed personality, rather than being too scripted. I’ll come on to this issue in my next point. As part of your preparation, think about your appearance. Remember however, that the whole point of marketing through video is to let people connect with the real you, so don’t try to be something you’re not. People will want to see you in a very natural way, therefore dress, style, and present yourself as you would if you were chatting to friends and family.

2) Be natural. If someone viewing your video sees you as nervous, incoherent or uncomfortable, they’re going to know you’re either trying too hard or you’re not knowledgeable and passionate about your subject area. Allow your vocabulary and delivery style to flow, just as though you’re sharing stories with friends.

3) To help achieve the natural style I’m referring to in the point above, one important technique that has worked really well for me is to look through and beyond the camera. This is a technique that professionals have mastered for years. Imagine the audience you want to connect with and see beyond the lens of your camera, connecting with the people you’re communicating with in the video. Imagine the lens of the camera as a doorway to the world of your audience and forget about the technology.

Follow these initial practical steps in the preparation of your video material and you will overcome the understandable anxiety and trepidation associated with using this medium.

Good luck and to your success.

what to look for when picking a mentor

If you’re involved in internet marketing or considering becoming involved then I’m certain that you  will have discovered more than enough information out there to help you decide what approach, business or system is right for you. There is an extraordinary level of ‘noise’ on social media sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter and the challenge for anyone is sifting through this barrage of noise and determining how to take positive action.

I am writing this from New York where i am lucky enough to be able to combine a family trip with some business (attending a coaching conference).

My time here has given me an opportunity myself to rise above the clamour and reflect upon what truly is important in making a success of your online business.

I took a couple of minutes to capture a short video which focuses on the values and characteristics you should look for in making one of the most important decisions, that of picking your sponsor, mentor and coach.

So in the video I deliberately chose a vocabulary that  I felt captured the core ingredients of a successful mentor/student relationship. As I summarise them here, in a word it can best be described as EASE.

Experience

Accessibility

Sensitivity

Expertise

Not only should all of these characteristics be obvious as you make your choice but the ease itself within which you feel comfortable in your relationship with your mentor should be an ever present sentiment.

Experience

You need to know that your chosen mentor has the industry, business and interpersonal experience to be able to communicate with you, guide you and lead you effectively through the exciting world of internet marketing.

Accessibility

I hear so many sad stories of people who joined a business on the back of a relationship with a so called mentor, only to learn of the subsequent disappointment when that mentor simply does not make themselves available. So as part of your judgement, be sure that you know your chosen sponsor is both available and responsive to address all the issues that you have as you make your important decision.

Sensitivity

It will not always be plain sailing. There will inevitably be challenges, frustrations and hurdles to overcome. Look for the kind of patience, sensitivity and understanding that goes with relevant maturity and quality leadership. You need to know that your mentor has an empathy for your circumstances and is in tune with your needs.

Expertise

Be sure that you choose someone to work with who has a proven track record in a relevant business discipline to ensure that they can transfer their skills and expertise to you.

Wishing you much Success, Abundance and Happiness.

Turnkey Marketing and 4 step system

In the sometimes confusing and hype – laden world of internet marketing, it is refreshing to be provided with true honest value and information to enable people to work confidently towards success.  That’s exactly what the team at TurnKey Marketing Group have done with the introduction of a new training a coaching system.

The founder of Turn – Key Marketing Group, Damian Benko has channelled years of online experience and success into a training and tutorial series which provides authoritative and proven information, cutting through the often extreme hype and outrageous claims of many of the internet scams out there.

This training series, priced at only $60 per month enables newcomers to the world of internet marketing to learn, test, be trained and benefit from years of proven success from the best marketers in the industry. The 4 step system is delivered through the medium of video tutorials and indentifies how over 90% of the money being made in online marketing is generated from the following 4 product areas.

Affiliate Marketing.

This is a huge sector of the internet marketing global economy and relates to the ability to sell someone else’s product and maintain a commission payment in return for your own internet marketing and promotional efforts. The choice of Affiliate programmes and opportunities is vast and can be chosen based upon personal or professional interest, the size of market demand, or simply your own passion for a particular subject area.

Information Products.

This sector of the market enables the internet entrepreneur to generate an online income by selling pre packaged, often digital products and using either Master Resell Rights or Private Label Rights enabling a significant percentage of the sale value to remain within your own business.

Business Opportunities

This is an area of internet marketing commerce where premium products and companies operate. This sector relies mainly on direct selling, using online and internet strategies to connect high value business systems with a target audience looking to build their own business offering in this sector. The entrepreneur retains a significant percentage of the sale value for every new product package or system sold and then retains a further, usually smaller percentage from subsequent sales made by direct members of the entrepreneur’s team. The Turn – Key Marketing Group 4 step system has been born from much of the experience gained in the provision of these kinds of business opportunity. In summary, the nature of the products in this category is mainly made up of Information Products, Coaching and Training Systems and Travel and Leisure Offers.

MLM (Network Marketing)

This sector of the industry is represented by a multitude of off line products ranging from vitamins, healthcare products, nutritional lifestyle products through to financial and property learning systems. These opportunities offer long term, slower growth potential as the commission schemes associated with them are significantly lower than with the affiliate marketing opportunity or the direct business opportunities mentioned above. This internet marketing subsector is vast but is also renowned for “get rich quick” schemes and frustrated failures. As the Turn – Key Marketing 4 step system advises, it is imperative that any budding internet entrepreneur ensures they have the experience and knowledge and a full appreciation of the workload and compensation system before entering into these MLM relationships.

Furthermore, as an added benefit to those who choose to buy the 4 Step System, Turn Key are offering an exclusive period of access to the team’s private coaching and Knowledge forum, the Inner Circle. This where members share ideas and questions, seek out success tactics from peers and generally share best practice to enable every member of the team to feel the support and experience of other members.

Lifestyle and Marketing

Are you looking to make money on line? Have you carried out your research, evaluated the multiple options out there but are not sure really what to expect or how to go about getting started?

This snapshot from a day in the life of one of the UK’s most successful achievers and coaches provides an insight into what you can expect. This experience and ongoing high income generation follows a period of successful corporate leadership and importantly an extensive and thorough research of the online marketing opportunities available.

Once you have selected and committed to the company or product system which best suits your aspirations and goals, an important initial focus is the period of set up and preparation to ensure you have the fundamentals in place. This work is often supported by quality coaching and teaching systems by the best online marketing companies today. The specifics which need to be addressed include the creation of the commercial and payment systems to allow you to receive the income you will generate from effective marketing. Naturally, the creation of websites, blogs and social network accounts to enable you to market yourself, your business and your products to a global community. Importantly, and this is sometimes overlooked by newcomers to the online marketing world, always ensure that you have access to education, training, coaching and mentorship by being part of an all ready successful marketing community.

On a daily basis this is how it may evolve.

It is crucial that you adopt a rigorous planning discipline to the way that you plan your immediate, short and long term goals. So for this exponent of internet marketing success, the day always begins with the creation of a task list and an understanding of the timing priorities for completing these tasks. This can be in the form of a simple hand written list, an electronic of the task goals and objectives, or a planning tool in soft ware like mind – mapping.

After the preparation of the daily plan, the next set of activities involves reviewing incoming email communication and checking voice mails to be able to respond to communication in the inbox and on the phones. Here again it is important to set some priorities for how you filter and rank material in your inbox and in your messaging systems. Be considerate but focused knowing that there maybe many emails and some calls which will not help you move your business forward and it is important to recognise these and push them to the lower end of your daily priorities.

Focus on those individuals who are already members of your team or business and of course be hugely attentive to those leads and prospects who need to hear back from you to enable them to progress their decision.

Following this initial period dealing with business correspondence, this particular individual then likes to commit a reasonable period to social networking accounts to maintain a profile and contact with relevant business groups, associations, affiliates and team members.

At this point in his day, this has usually taken around two hours.

One of the values and lifestyle benefits of building a home based business is the freedom, flexibility and control it provides.

So, while the business system continues to operate on auto pilot this business leader then takes some personal time to deal with domestic, administrative and leisure activities. This could include some time in the garden, walking dogs, exercising, indulging in a creative pursuit like photography, painting or art. Whatever your lifestyle priorities, the home based world of internet marketing provides you with the capacity to build a profitable and significant income stream and enjoy the lifestyle quality to be able to enjoy a multitude of interests that a more conventional corporate job simply could not support.

To your success.

Mindset Marketing – The Positive Approach To Wealth

It’s all too easy in these bleak economic times to be led down a path of anxiety and concern by media coverage of  organisational restructuring, redundancies, jobless figures at all time highs all culminating in a sense of desperation and confusion. Real issues with real impact and I’m not in any way suggesting that people are not affected by these trying circumstances. What is important is the individual focuses on what they can control and influence. Many social and self development writers and authors are bringing even greater clarity to one major issue in these times which provides strength and energising focus – that is adopting a positive mindset. In conferences, workshops, training seminars and articles, much is being made of the real value of getting one’s overall attitude and mental determination in the most positive frame to move forward with great results and contentedness. This blog covers  some of the most important values drawn from my recent research and applies the points of concentration to the world of internet marketing.

Sifting through the almost infinite sources of data, advice and material can be daunting, confusing and often an impediment to action.

The volume of writing is vast and dates back centuries.

In the online industry, where internet marketing, harnessing social networking and leveraging technology, systems and resources are the greatest challenges faced, it’s important to remember some of the basic attitudes needed.

Over 90% of people who start a home based business fail because they have not adopted the mindset to deliver success.

Firstly, success and winning have to become part of your DNA.  If you don’t understand and define for yourself your vision for success and winning you will never get there, or at least your journey will be a frustrating one.

So what are the fundamentals?

  • Empower yourself with a positive self image.  Believe in everything you are capable of and commit to be the best you can be every day.  Reflect upon your strengths, values and your skills and apply that positive thought process in a devoted way. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us”.
  • Create a rock solid self belief.  Appreciate and learn from every experience you encounter and know that no matter what you have to face, your experience, confidence and attitude will lead you to make the best personal choice.
  • Adopt a positive and winning mentality.  Look forward in a structured and disciplined way to the future you want to create and establish your own personal route map to deliver a winning outcome.
  • Envisage success.  In your own mind create a “success blueprint” and begin to feel the emotions associated with making that blueprint a reality.  As Steven Covey wrote “the best way to predict your future is to create it”.
  • Set your goals and constantly review and refine them.  Unless you know where you want to be, it is impossible to get there without some fluke or miracle.  Be precise about your aspirations and targets and write down specific objectives and time scales on a daily basis.  Remain disciplined yet flexible taking account of the inevitable curved balls that life throws at you.  With daily, weekly, mid and long term goals it’s far easier to be able to correct your course if you are temporarily distracted or diverted by referring back to those objectives you’ve documented.
  • Be open.  Constantly seek out improvements and innovation in every aspect of your life.  Stick to the plan but be completely willing to take on board new thinking and influences.  This attitude to personal development will maintain a fresh character for you and provide the attraction qualities that make you and your business appealing to a wider market.
  • Importantly share all the work you do on this critical mindset area with loved ones. They are after all usually the most critical support network you have.  Involve them, include them and the reinforcing qualities of their support will magnify your success.
  • Give to gain.  Remember the fundamental law in attraction marketing is that the more value you can give in an unselfish way, the more you will receive in time.

I have adopted all of these principles within my business in the sensational economy of home based internet marketing.  As I mentor, guide, train and lead my team, I encourage these mindset values as an anchor point for success.  I strive daily to bring my years of successful business leadership to my group today and encourage anyone contemplating a life change to consider harnessing these attributes and exploring the world of internet marketing. With a positive passion for success, lifechanging income and overall quality can be just around the corner.
