Effective Publicity
September 8, 2008
An advantage of free publicity for internet marketing is that when positive information is connected with you, it gives you more credibility. A big paid advertisement is costly and doesn’t give you nearly the amount of credibility. If a reputable site is writing about you, such as, a newspaper, ezine or website, that credibility then translates over to you.
Free internet marketing publicity is much harder to get. If you pay for advertising you can pretty much bet that your ad will be placed. But since free publicity, is…well, free - everybody wants it. So, that will cut down your chances of actually getting it. Editors of trade magazines and ezines don’t have time to provide all the content themselves, so they are always looking for outside sources. If you provide them with great content, they will publish you regularly. Sometimes they will archive your articles and you can end up with long-term links.
5 Steps for a Rock Solid Niche
July 23, 2008
If you want to make money on the internet, the Jeff Paul system can help you find and establish a strong niche market that you can use in your shortcuts to internet millions. Your niche market will be the turnkey resource; providing you with direction while you build your business and make money on the internet. With these 5 Jeff Paul approved steps, you’ll be able to discover your niche in no time.
The money is in the list
Email lists won’t help if you don’t have a niche. So, build a niche list! Start by looking at all the things you are interested in and go from there. By looking at what you already do, you may find some way to do it differently, or better.
Even things that you’re interested can prove lucrative, given the proper affiliate or product. If you’re planning on internet marketing, a well defined niche based on what you’re interested in will make it easier to find your clients and establish a rapport with them.
So make a list of the things your interested. Come up with a system (Jeff Paul uses numbers 1-10) of brainstorming. Write each and every idea down on a piece of paper and assign it a number based on its difficulty to you. Look at how hard it is to do, how hard it is to learn about, and how hard it is to talk about. All of these things will be crucial if you want to market the ideas.
Starting Up: A Rock to Stand On
The startup is the most difficult part of the process. You will need to assemble product knowledge, gain a substantial client base, gain email list names, establish communication with people in your niche, and build your website. The one thing most small business owners will agree on is that you do best if you’re doing what you love.
This is another reason why you should not shy away from investigating your interests. You can cut the research you’ll do in half, be able to communicate with confidence, and already have a good sense of what people are looking for.
Life Experience
Life experience and education can also play a substantial role in deciding on the perfect niche. What have you been prepared for? What was your favorite subject in school, and what did you like most about that subject? Talk with people in the field your contemplating, maybe they can help you understand the market better. Remember the internet is a shortcut to meeting people, which in turn provides a shortcut to millions.
Invest Your Time in Books
Often, a well written book on small business will provide you with a list of business ideas that can be helpful when trying to decide on your niche. “How to” books on business can also offer you clever ideas to cut costs, manage your resources more efficiently and even outline an action plan to keep you on track.
Research:
How did a large corporation like Macy’s become what it is today? Most of today’s large corporations built their way up to what they are today because they made themselves specialists in what they did. Research showed the same customer that will buy a shirt will also buy a bed spread. Research helped define fashion trends that lead to the lines that are carried by these department store giants.
The Jeff Paul system teaches niche marketing. This strategy has proven effective time and time again and the formula is so simple: find what they want and give it to them.
