Most people quit there home base business within there first 3 weeks because they don’t know how to do internet marketing.

1. A great product that fit your target audience.
2. A good looking website designed around your product.
3. A daily marketing plan.

Finding A Great Product

The first thing you won’t to do is find out what kind of product you won’t to market on the internet. There’s two ways you can do this you either develop your own product or you can market someone else product. I recommend you market someone else product at first until you make a name for yourself on the internet, because it’s a lot easier and you can start making money right away. Do some research before you choose your product because you won’t to market a product that’s in high demand.

Developing A Website Around Your Product

Once you find the product you won’t to market the next thing you need is a website to promote that product. If you decided to create your own product you must create your own website around that product, but if you decided to market someone else product then you have the choice to use there website or develop your own branding yourself around there product.

Developing A Daily Marketing Plan

Once you find your product and build your website the final thing you must do is marketing or advertise your website so people can see your website, and learn about your product then purchase your product. Most people fail at this step because they don’t know how to market correctly. The first thing you must do before marketing your website is do some research on internet marketing find out what works and what doesn’t. The next thing you won’t to do is develop a daily marketing plan that consist of daily task to do to get traffic to your website. One quick and easy way to market your website is by writing articles. I recommend writing 3-5 articles a day. Articles are great because you can build a name for yourself on internet and get good traffic to your website. Thank you for reading this article I hope it was useful and helpful.

Here we are, where we were last year and the year before and where we will be next year. I know that’s a mouthful but it’s true!

Every year at this time we take a look back to the past year and see how we can make this year better. Even if last year was a great year, we can also do it better this year. Or different anyway.

I want to share with you some simple daily strategies that you can use starting right now to get your business off on the right foot this year.

Don’t over complicate it. Keep it simple.

It’s not unusual for us to get in to overwhelm. This can be true especially if you are a creative type with all kinds of wonderful ideas running through your head. Maybe it’s the details that get to you.

If you are a detail person you may get into overwhelm because you see all those things that need to get done and what to focus on first.

I believe for the most part this is more a women’s issue than a man’s. Most men I know don’t get so caught up in the details. Is it a girl thing?

Let’s address the time issue. As you well know, time is a non-renewable resource. Once it’s gone, it’s gone and it isn’t coming back. There are 2 different ways to use time:

1. Investing Time

2. Spending Time

Spending time is playing around on Facebook or Twitter. Although we get clients from social media unless it’s very focused business building time, it’s simply time spent.

Hopefully, you are making connections with people and transforming those connections into a growing number of clients. If you do this systematically and it’s paying off for you, then this is investing time.

You need a structure, you need systems and you need an outline. After you have that in place you can go fill in the details and the ‘how to’s.

I suggest you start first with how much money you want to make this year. What is your Bold Money Goal?

And this doesn’t have to be for the year. I would suggest you make it more short term. Anywhere from 30 day to 60 days would work fine.

When you set this number I want you to stretch beyond what is comfortable for you. I don’t want it to be crazy either, a number that is just too far out of reach, at least for you right now.

Now you have your number so you are ready for your next step.

I want you to make 3 ‘opportunity’ calls per day. This is part of your structure. These calls are to ask someone about a possible joint venture, set up a speaking engagement or interviewing someone for a teleseminar. You want to be proactive here and make those calls. Don’t sit around waiting for people to contact you.

Next step is setting up ‘strategy’ sessions to speak to possible clients. Make 3 of these a day. You might call them ‘connecting calls’. Who have you met at a networking event or a conference? Who can you follow up with? What about people you talked to months ago but they didn’t hire you then. Call them back and see how they are doing.

That’s 6 calls per day and you’ll probably get voice mail most of the time. I suggest you track your calls. Who you talked to, who you left a voice mail for and need to follow up etc.

The last thing I want you to do is 1 to 3 tasks towards your 30 or 60 days Bold Money Goals. Is it a new program or new service you are offering?

To wrap up, these are just 3 daily things for you to do to get you to reach the income you have set for yourself. Don’t make this harder than it is. These 3 tasks are not difficult.

They may take some guts and they make take some planning but this is just one way you can move yourself forward and reach that Bold Money Goal that you have set for yourself.

Start making a list of people you can contact, possible future clients and how you are going to reach your Bold Money Goal. Keep this list on your desk or by your computer so you can add to it as opportunities arise. You’ll be amazed how this will help you move you and your business further along.

A well-thought out marketing plan is essential to the long-term viability of any business. However, many entrepreneurs and small business management teams are left in the dark as they seek to increase their promotional efforts.

It’s unnecessary for business owners to feel completely lost, however. The best marketing strategies are straightforward and logically implemented. Following are some tips for building and executing a solid marketing campaign.

Identifying specific marketing goals

Every business has particular marketing needs that can be met with careful study of and attention to market realities. In order to be competitive in the information age, your goals should include the following:

· Developing your online presence through a company website and social media

· Reaching out to target markets by identifying their online habits and focusing marketing efforts accordingly

· Understanding advertising trends and consumer behavior in your specific market

· Achieving brand recognition for your company and its services

Think about what your needs are and present them to your colleagues. Identifying such needs is the first step in creating a plan that will actually meet them.

Identifying your marketing and media mix

Closely observe how your ideal customers are currently meeting their wants and needs. Do they go to brick-and-mortar stores to buy the products you sell? Do they turn to the internet and search for detailed reviews before they make purchases? Use that information to determine the best media to focus on. A strong mix might include the following:

· An email newsletter through which you build relationships with prospects and provide special offers

· A social media presence (e.g. through Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other specialty services) through which you offer exclusive benefits to customers

· A blog that garners the interest of prospects and pre-sells them on your service

· The writing and distribution of press releases to increase potential exposure to mainstream media outlets

Develop a list of media that is most relevant to your prospects and can be targeted without overwhelming your resources.

Creating a budget

Think about the marketing campaigns of your competitors and what will it take to either outshine them or hit segments of the market that they’re missing. If they’re investing in traditional marketing avenues such as radio or print advertising, you may also choose to go that route. Or, if your budget is limited, you may choose to focus a majority of your efforts on cost-effective internet marketing and social media outreach.

In order to visualize the budget, a spreadsheet detailing activities (such as website hosting and promotional events) and the amount of money spent monthly on each will be very helpful. Use your intuition and best judgment, weighing immediate needs against long-term ideals, to create a budget that best serves your enterprise.

Implementation of the marketing strategy

Allot a specific amount of time towards daily marketing activities and make sure that they are implemented in a step-by-step manner. The work should be accounted for daily and efforts should be consistent across the days, weeks and months following the launch of the campaign. The ideal implementation strategy will carve out sufficient time for marketing without significantly cutting into day-to-day operations, sales and customer service.

Measurement of marketing success

After implementation, it’s important to periodically measure the success of your promotions. Once you know how well the strategy is panning out, you’ll know how to modify your current campaign and where to focus future efforts. If your current marketing efforts target the internet and social networks, for example, measurement may include the following:

· Looking at the number of people who have signed up for email newsletters

· Evaluating metrics concerning Facebook, Twitter and Google+ followers (total number of followers, number of “shares” and “likes” on Facebook and “tweets” on Twitter, number of followers who have made purchases or responded to promotions, etc.)

· Tracking website visitor behavior using free or low-cost analytics tools

· Split-testing aspects of your website such as aesthetics, layout and copywriting

· Calculating overall increase in sales as a result of the campaign

It’s also important to figure out your return of investment (ROI). This can be calculated as:

(Gross Profit – Marketing Costs) / Marketing Costs

Bear in mind that gross profit is your revenue minus the cost of production or services, not just the revenue itself. Keeping this in mind will help you produce an accurate assessment of how successful your marketing has been.

Creating and implementing a marketing plan requires research and trial-and-error, but it remains a straightforward process. Take the time now to develop a marketing plan that suits your business, and you will give yourself the best chance of reaching and exceeding expectations.
