Automated Online Marketing Systems – What is Really Going On?
What exactly is a marketing system?
A marketing system is a set of preexisting websites, ad copy, auto responders and information that is used to sell a back end product or service. In between when a visitor first visits the web site and when they purchase something they may also have other opportunities to buy similar products.
When you join an “automated” marketing system you receive your own links that are able to track any activity that comes through your site. Most standard marketing systems are able to track visitors, opt-in leads and sales at the bare minimum.
Some of the more sophisticated marketing systems allow you to create multiple ad campaigns, give you access to banners, text ads, blog and video creation, and many other tools.
So where does the term automated fit in?
Automation comes in after you have successfully driven traffic to your site. The system does the selling, telling, explaining and follow-up all for you.
However, if you are not able to market and advertise well, then no one comes to your web site and you don’t get paid.
Do not be mistaken. Plugging into proven marketing system is the quickest way to make money online, but you have to be able to generate leads on a daily basis. The range of 100+ leads per day is the place you want to be if you intend to be making multiple five figures per month.
This is a lot harder than it sounds, especially if you are just starting out.
This is where you will need mentoring from members of the system. This should be provided as a prerequisite just for you joining.
What you also need
1. Support- In addition to the marketing system you need a support team to answer questions and keep you on the right track. The support team also provides any additional help to your account
2. Weekly Training- The marketing system can do most of the heavy lifting yes, but if you do not know how to market and get traffic to your web sites then you will be see very little profit.
3. Self branding- You need to position yourself as a leader and someone who can show others how to do the same. This is still all about relationships. Sure the marketing system can convert visitors into customers, but you better make sure you are trusted and liked by your customers.
So is it possible to join a system and replace your full time income?
Absolutely.
If you find a system that offers the above and has an in demand product, the sky is the limit. You will also want to make sure that there are many testimonials of people who have already made money with the system.
A factor you might also want to consider is how big are your commissions for each sale of the product? Marketing systems that promote high ticket items are best because you can receive up to $1000 per commission. As long as you are generating leads, the law of averages kicks in and you will be able to forecast your monthly earnings.
When you join a marketing system remember to treat it like a business and be very consistent. Thousands of marketers each month use marketing systems to generate some pretty hefty incomes. Do your due diligence and make sure it is a good fit for you.
