Why Are Your Online Marketing Plans Significant To Your Internet Business?
You may know this saying, ”when you fail to plan then you are planning to fail”, don’t you? Yes I suppose. Really, starting your business without an online marketing plan is like walking to your destination with your eyes blindfolded. You don’t know where you are and how you are going to get where you want. It is clear. I know you would not like to be in such situation because you want to succeed. However, when I started my internet home business, like you, I could not set-up a good marketing plan for myself. I was shown how to do it. So, if you tell me now that you are having a similar problem, I would not be surprised. Nevertheless, consider it settled and over with.
My friend, when you have a good internet marketing plan, then you’ve made your marketing career easier. You’ll have an organized system that captures the attention of qualified leads. Come on, its no secret that having qualified leads that convert into buyers is what makes online marketing profitable. Then you’ll be able to rake in huge cash on a monthly basis.
Also, with your plan you’ll be honest and credible to your customers/prospects. Why? Because you don’t have to create hype and fake promises, like others, in order to trick prospects to make a purchase. With your marketing plans you’ll have a simple, reliable and up-to-date plan working for you daily. So you always have that advantage over unplanned online marketers. Truly, I pity marketers who’ve spent years on the internet and they don’t have much to show for it. Simply because they don’t have a workable online marketing plan.
By now, I know your expectation, for my formula to online marketing plans, is high. So here they are:
1. First, you must know how much you want to be earning from your business every month. But you must have at the back of your mind, that this is a sober online business which calls for continuous daily actions.
2. Find out who needs your service/products. Also find out where you can find them online. Make sure your lead capture page conversion is not less than 10%. Your aim should be to get more than 3% of your leads buy your product/services.
3. Choose the methods that you are going to use to reach your target audience. Please don’t attempt to use all at the same time. If your product line cost less than $2000 then use the following free marketing methods: article marketing, email notifications, blogging, Facebook, twitter, press releases etc or some paid advertising like viral networks. Continue using these methods for 3-4 weeks and assess the results. If your product line is more than $2000 then you will have to drive more valuable traffic using pay-per-click(PPC) on Facebook, Google or banner adds etc to back-up your free traffic methods I mentioned before.
4. In your first month don’t spend more than $500-$1000 in order to make your first sale. After making your initial sale then you may pour every penny back into your marketing, to get more leads. Remember, your marketing plan =your bank account= your lifestyle.
