Internet Marketing Basics

by Cliff Truss on June 7, 2010

So, I feel that I’ve finally found some direction in internet marketing and have made a commitment to launch my first product by mid July 2010. This is going to be a free product and, although I haven’t quite decided the subject, it will be related to the basics of internet marketing

Choose Your Niche – And Stick to it!

The first point I would like to stress is possibly the most important…

Once you have chosen which branch of the IM tree you want to adopt, it is vital that you not only take action, but you stick with it. One of the pitfalls of Internet marketing is the availability of endless well written sales pages promising that you can make your fortune with X, Y or Z product.

Don’t get distracted…if you keep on moving between one business plan to another, from product to product, without actually completing what you were doing in the first place, you will almost definitely be doomed to failure (unless you can put a stop to it immediately).

The only time to move on to another branch of the IM tree is once you have “cracked it” in the branch that you were working on before.

I have to be honest here and confess that I’ve fallen victim to this “newbie’s nightmare” over the past few months but I am now back on track. I started the year off on Alex Jeffreys’ coaching and somehow got distracted into building content niche sites (after buying yet another product) , which resulted in me neglecting AJ’s coaching.

Do me a favour and give me a kick up the whatsits if you see me veering off the track again will you?

Thanks!

Helping You Succeed

The branch of the IM tree that I have decided to adopt is to do all that I can to help internet marketing newbies achieve success. I am going to do this by creating a lot of free content, such as eBooks and video tutorials. This will lead on to maybe a coaching membership site and / or some paid training / info products.

How to Register a Domain Name

If you haven’t done so already, you’re gonna need to register a domain name & create your very own Blog or website.  I would recommend a Wordpress blog (such as this one).

I take it you’re serious about a long term internet marketing career?

Yes?

Fantastic! :-)

I am not going to cover how to build a Wordpress blog in this post but my recommendation would be to use Namecheap for domain registration & for hosting it use Hostgator.

For assistance in setting up your Wordpress blog then follow Tommy McLaughlin’s Blog Set Up Tutorials,as I did.

Take a look at my first tutorial video, in which I explain the process for registering a domain name. This video is the first in a 3 or 4 part series on how to be a contributor to a giveaway event.

Look out for part 2 – coming soon!

Here are the links that I promised in the video…

How to Contribute to Giveaway Events…

February 18, 2010

Ok, so I’m now a seasoned giveaway contributor….NOT!

I am though, currently contributing to my third giveaway event and my fourth is starting in four days time.

I have gained 50 subscribers to date from these 3 events in 18 days.

“Not Bad Cliff”, I hear you say…

Problem is, 14 of the 50 subscribers have unsubscribed from my list! From what I gather, the unsubscribe percentage rate for giveaway events is higher than average….which, when you think about it, isn’t surprising.

My aim is to have a list of over 100 by the end of Feb from giveaway events.

So, here’s my step-by-step guide to contributing to a giveaway event.

So, the first module on the Marketing with Alex coaching course is curiously entitled, “Forward to Basics”.

Forward?

The concept being that to run an online business, or any business come to that, implementing the business basics is a step in the right direction. It’s a step forward. It’s a crucial & fundemental requirement for anyone serious about starting and running a business. The basics are the foundations of a business, without which the business will fail.
