Internet marketing is the biggest order in the universe we live in, and it is the one that is not yet contained by any one product, recommendation, blog post, article, or video. There is no magic formula to guarantee that any of these strategies will make a difference in how well your business goes. There are only two things that matter in internet marketing and those are traffic and conversion.
The real secret is in how well you do those two things. One word: master. Nobody can make a combination of those two things happen, unless they know how to do it their way.
Luckily, there are some simple things you can do that will be effective in making a difference in your internet marketing efforts. These three ways to be an internet marketing master are not definitive because that would detract from the point of our discussion, but they are keys to doing so well online.
Learn the Basics
There is a lot to be said for having just a general understanding of internet marketing; using the basic skills necessary will enable you to be more efficient in your efforts and consequently make more money with less pumping and pushing. Whatever your Internet skills are, if you are really good, you can quickly make sense of what you have learned and make some changes in your game plan. But please don’t wait! Your knowledge will develop along the way, and the more you learn, the less gurus will have the chance to make it look like you don’t have a clue around all of this. A tip I got from a friend who sells a wooden hand chair online said a good rule of thumb is to get all the traffic you possibly can and get it fast. This is easier said than done, but there are strategies you can implement to start seeing results quickly. You will have to keep learning and each time you learn something new you will need to implement it; it’s like a child, open up every book you meet with and learn something before you are done. Stop worrying about it, you can’t fail at learning and it will show.
As a final reminder here it is imperative to remember to have a list. A list of strategies and tasks you do on a regular basis will become the guide you use to keep focused on the big picture of internet marketing. They also act as reminders that you need to hire someone to do, but you can do it yourself, why not?
Traffic
The main idea of any system is to get traffic to your site. If your site is not popular, but it is a very effective marketing tool and you are still not making money, you could always change what you are doing.
