Choosing Your Internet
Marketing Strategies
by Roderick
MacKenzie
Trying to decide how to
strategically market your product or service (or yourself) on
the internet can be overwhelming. There are a myriad of
marketing possibilities to choose from, and more great
strategies are being offered almost daily. As an internet
marketer, how can you decide on the best
strategic
marketing plan that works for your business?
Three Principles for Your
Marketing Choices
1) Marketing within Your
Capabilities
We all have a variety of strengths
and weaknesses. Unfortunately we often tend to focus more on
how to fix our weaknesses rather than how to harness our
strengths. We should all strive to
improve ourselves, but
sometimes the time and effort would be better placed by
finding and
perfecting strategies for which we already
have an aptitude.
This does not mean you should give
up learning new strategies! Just make sure you are not
perpetually spending more time learning something that is
difficult for you than you spend
actually marketing your
product or service.
If you are not proficient in a particular marketing
strategy that you just can’t do without,
outsource the
work. When you do not have the time or ability to do a
technique justice,
there will always be someone else who
does.
2) Marketing What You Care For
If you would rather be sitting in the dentist's chair
getting a couple of teeth pulled than
working on your
latest campaign, you are spending your time working with the
wrong strategies.
There are many strategic marketing choices on the
internet. Pick the ones you enjoy
working with. Otherwise,
it will show in your work, just as your passion will shine
through when you are doing something you
love.
3) Marketing Consistently
Many marketers start work on a marketing campaign, get
mediocre results, then two or
three weeks later when a
great new idea comes along, abandon their current efforts and
'try' something else. This is not a recipe for sustainable
success.
Sometimes the latest hot new marketing trend can work
wonders and inject a lot of cash
into your business, so
new ideas should be taken advantage of when appropriate.
However, if you change your marketing plan more often than
you change your socks,
you will never really get good at
anything. You will be spending more time learning new
things as you do actually marketing your product or
service.
Consistency is the key. If your strategic marketing
plan is based on solid and proven
strategies, you will
become an expert in those areas and they will get easier and
less
time consuming. It is much easier and less risky to
learn and test new marketing
methods when you have a
proven and profitable system already in place to fall back
on.
Capability, Care, and
Consistency
Follow these steps in your marketing approach, be
patient and consistent, and you will
succeed in finding
your own strategic path through the internet marketing jungle.
Happy Marketing!
