You might have noticed I’ve been a little quiet lately and obviously not posted anything on my blog since the beginning of December last year.
Well I’ve been in serious research and development mode with a new business partner doing a lot of underground testing and tweeking on new ways to help businesses (and individuals) use the Internet for Marketing their business, product or brand, but not have to work so hard at doing it.
Recently the FTC of America released new restrictions on those who do business online, forcing us to take an exact account of all results of our programs and create an accurate and up to date average of our findings. This must be done before offering any testimonials or claims stating how truly valuable our system is, how much money people can make or even show how it can help increase leads to your business.
Once again I received a nice shiny Silver Eagle in the mail this month, which brings my collection to a total of 12 (13 actually if you include the 2009 Koala Silver Coin that I purchased as well, looking forward to receiving my 2010 coin very soon).
The box I keep them in is starting to get quite heavy and I have to admit it feels really good picking it up and feeling the weight of the 99.9% pure silver, now totalling 12oz.
When I was a kid I used look at my Fathers coin collection often. I was facinated to see where all the different coins came from.
I’ve used a lot of different affiliate marketing methods and find one of them to be the most effective.
Article marketing is cool, except the article directory gets to keep all the ad revenue and they are getting more particular about what articles they accept.
Review sites are OK, but does anyone really trust the reviews they read on those sites any more? Most people know by now that review sites are just disguised sales pitches and aren’t honest reviews.
Social media is fun, but it has its limits. It’s more about socializing, less about doing business. Sure, you can make connections there but at the end of the day the lion’s share of your profits likely isn’t coming from social media.
First of all it’s a HUGE part of how they’ve built their online empire. It’s given webmasters an incredibly simple way to monetise their blogs and websites…
What you probably DON’T know is that if you’re a blogger there’s a VERY good chance that if you’re monetising with Adsense, you’re leaving money on the table
With all the buzz about self-branding, viral marketing and social networking, it can seem like being highly visible is the way to go, no matter what you may prefer. That’s where a hard look at your core competence and goals will help you decide if you want to follow the pack or keep a low profile in the IM marketplace. There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches, depending on your personal style and preferred method of working.
Folks who are solitary by nature, don’t need a great deal of social interaction and prefer staying out of the limelight can use “low visibility” to their advantage. By being hard to get and booked in advance, you will create a perception of your value that will keep you in as much work as you desire. Getting started may take time and effort beyond that of someone else who has a much higher profile. As long as the quality and value of your work is high, you’ll get more loyal customers that won’t stray. You’ll be the big fish in a small pond. Making the move into other areas of the IM marketplace can be easier if you are not highly identified with one, particular niche, too.
Social butterflies, who thrive on interacting with others, will get more out of being “high profile” businesses. Aside from the emotional satisfaction of connecting with a large body of customers and contacts, the potential for large returns is often easier to achieve with broad exposure. Becoming widely known and highly visible will help jumpstart a new business into profitability much sooner than the quiet approach. The problem with such a method of marketing is becoming “typecast” or pigeonholed into a particular niche that may become less profitable in time.
