Internet Marketing Plan
How to Create an Effective Internet Marketing Plan "Let me give you some tips to create a quick and effective Internet Marketing plan: 1. Set an Objective: You need to ask yourself, ‘What do I want to achieve by using Internet marketing as part of my business.’ This is one of the main questions that you need to ask, because if you know where you are going you will know exactly how to use your time and money in an effective and efficient way. 2. Competitors: It’s very important to know where you stand in regards to your competitors this will allow you to create a plan of action. Remember you can always measure your success and performance by comparing it to that of your main competitors. 3. Use a Marketing Funnel: Start from the top of the funnel, representing low-cost products or freebies, and moving your clients down through the funnel to the narrower area which represents more investments from your clients on your products and services. 4. Target Market: There is no product for everyone, everybody is different but we can market our products or services to groups with similar interests, finding a niche will give you more profit than trying to sell a product with different characteristics for everyone. Know your market, learn from it. 5. Offer a Solution to a Problem: Become the one who provides a solution for a certain problem, position yourself as a specialist. People look for solutions, be the one who provide them. 6. The Right Domain Name: Be creative; use a combination of words that people will type when they are looking for solutions on the internet. Forget about one word domains; now you can get domains based on people’s searches but remember create your brand so people can easily remember you. 7. Your website. Your website is your selling tool; it’s the image you are showing to the world. Use the right colors based on your clients tastes (don’t overload your website with graphics or flash) and provide the right information, keep your website updated all the time. 8. Latest Technology: Use the right payment system, make it easier for your clients, manage the logistics properly, there are a lot of scripts available providing amazing solutions for regular problems; it will make your life easier. 9. Internet Marketing Strategies: Think in terms of traffic and conversion, search engine optimization will bring a lot of benefits if you do the right keyword research, in terms of bringing immediate traffic to your website an Adwords campaign will do it, but remember that you need to bid for the right keywords and always measure the conversion of your site. 10. Feedback: You need to find ways to measure your success, always measure everything; there are some amazing tools available, even for free, like Google analytics. Use it! If you want to be successful you need to have your objectives clear, those objectives will support your Internet Marketing strategy." James G. Evans runs Internet Marketing London.
