Simple Steps To Internet Network Marketing

by Kylon Trower

Internet network marketing is a beast that only a few have tamed but has slain thousands with dashed hopes and forgotten dreams. There have been many that have tested these waters only to find that they are both cold and deep. I know your pain if you have felt the effects of failed attempts at getting your business up and running so I'll share what I know the "Guru's" won't dare tell you.

I'm going to warn you out the gate that what I'm going to share isn't what you think. It's not the latest scheme or method for exploding you internet network marketing business but it has everything to do with its growth.

Now open your mind like a parachute (it works best when it's open) and allow me to share some very profound information that will help you have great internet network marketing success. Just so you know, the heavy hitters would kill me if they new I was giving it to you straight.

In my opinion, these are the foundational building blocks to any successful business model, even internet network marketing. So here we go my friend!

1. Everything out there in the marketplace works. Some stuff works better than others but it all works. What I've found more often than not is that a lot of people are a afraid of a little hard work. Nugget # 1 is to find something, no matter how small it is and master it. Even if it takes some time, work hard at mastering it and you'll see profits in that area...guaranteed!

2. All the hyped up testimonials you see on the internet are the exception and not the rule. You aren't the only one that hasn't reached a high level of success in internet network marketing. Start where you are and take a step every day, one foot in front of the other and you'll get there.

3. Don't try to do it alone. Find a mentor that you can relate to but doesn't allow you to make excuses for mediocrity. This is really the job of a coach to help you grow and develop. You should also be involved in mastermind groups and communities related to your field as no one person can do it alone. Get connected!

So let me sum it up, wrap it in a nice little package for you and put a bow on it all.

1. Hard, focused work (this is where you get traction in your business)

2. Stay Consistent (Not once a week or when you get around to it, everyday)

3. Coaching and Community (This is how your business sprouts wings)

I knew you wouldn't be all that surprised by these insights as I'm sure you have heard them countless times before, right?

On the other hand, ask yourself this question. Am I doing these things to grow my internet network marketing business everyday? It actually takes, focused, hard and shared (leveraged) work to be successful and internet network marketing is no exception.

Think about it for a minute, everyone wants to be multi-faceted, not focused, they want to work smart, not hard and do it themselves without the help of others. These concepts seem like the ticket to success but they will keep you stuck and frustrated. I know because I've been there.

So, now that you've got a basic game plan and your foundation is set, feel free to check me out if you need some more specifics on what you might need to be working on first. All the best and keep your head up, the view is a lot better that way!

by Dirk Wagner

If you really want to work from home you have probably spent some time searching money making opportunities online. One of the easiest ways you can rake in the dollars without hassling with customers and orders is to get into product promotion. Product promotion is just as it sounds, you promote someone else's product and you get a commission for every sale.

There are tons of ways to make money with product promotion. One way is to create an affiliate store that will sell products within a niche market. This is easily done by building a website that offers interesting news, information and product reviews. Customers will be drawn to your site for the information and then they will click on your link to buy the product. They will be taken to the retailer's website to make the purchase and you will be given a percentage of the sale.

An affiliate website is a great way to earn some extra money or create a full time job. You will have the most luck if you choose products based around your hobbies. If you love sailing make an affiliate store all about sailing. If you love kids, make a children's store. Your affiliate store should be a fun project and you should have more than one if you want it to be a full time income.

If you enjoy the business side of making and promoting websites you can make great money by selling virtual products.

Good SEO Cannot Compensate for Faulty Business Models!

by Amy Nutt

Over the years, the industry of internet marketing has developed to the point where incorporating an online marketing plan is absolutely essential for any company wanting to succeed in the future. Search engine marketing and search engine optimization are the most popular forms of internet marketing as they can drive lots of targeted traffic to your website. Downbelow is a list of some of the most important lessons aboutthe strengths and weaknesses of search as a medium:

- Search should not be thought of as a stand alone marketing medium
- PPC (Paid Search) is better for accomplishing some goals than SEO is
- SEO is better for accomplishing some goals than PPC is
- Content is KING

Perhaps one of the most powerful of these lessons however, is that as powerful as search is, it CANNOT compensate for a faulty business model.

Faulty Business Model

Sure, in the short term a good SEO can help. Those rankings will often bring in some business through targeted traffic from the major search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN. Unfortunately, those same good rankings can also help to conceal problems within the business model.

What is a Good Business Model?

What does a good business model consist of? It's usually a direct function of the relative value:price ratio for a product or service amongst competitors, sprinkled with a whole lot of common sense.

However, if anything is amiss - the company is doomed for failure, expert SEO or not.

Why Are Companies with Faulty Business Models Doomed?

Companies with faulty business models are doomed for a number of reasons. Primarily however, they're doomed because search engines want to recommend sites that SATISFY searcher's needs. Almost by definition, companies with faulty business models cannot satisfy clients and searchers, because either:

- Their price is too high given the value of the product or service
- Their value is too low given the price of the product or service
- Common sense is lacking, severely distorting the value:price ratio
- and we suspect this is by far the most common

Long term (in a few more years - not yet though) this means search engines will look at your friend's preferences and opinions (aka social search), and the behaviour patterns of thousands of other searchers, and will rearrange rankings based on those indicators. The result - faulty business models lose.

What Does This Mean for SEO's and the Industry of Internet Marketing?

As a result, SEO and internet marketing companies in the future will have to make some interesting business decisions:

- do we accept or retain clients with faulty business models?
- how do we identify clients with faulty business models
- what are the signals?
- do we attempt to become management/change consultants too?

What Does This Mean for Businesses?

Ultimately, this means that companies must focus their time and efforts on what it is they do best. They need to ensure they've got solid defensible business models. The more sound the business model, the easier it will be to rank for relevant terms. If not, make the tough decisions, and correct the issues, or Google will!
