You know what’s one of the hardest things to do when it comes to Internet marketing? Believe it or not, is has very little to do with the technical aspects involved, or the actual execution of whatever tactics you choose to use. No, the hardest part of Internet marketing is coming up with ideas, both for product creation and for actual advertising. Sometimes, the light bulb just doesn’t come on. Well, there is a simple solution for this. As a matter of fact, it’s so simple, I don’t know why more people don’t think of it. This article is going to show you JUST how easy.
The first thing that you, as a marketer, have to understand is that there are no real secrets. Why do I say that? Because everything that the so called “gurus” or successful people do is right out there in the open. Think about it. You see their products’ sales pages, you get their email promotions in your in box and you see their PPC ads at Google. What’s hidden? Nothing…and that’s where you have to take advantage of things.
Let’s start with getting ideas for products. Go to the Clickbank marketplace and take a look at the hot products. You will probably notice that there are quite a few products targeting one specific area of each niche. These are probably the things that are in most demand right now. Let’s face it, fads come and go but when they come, they can make people a fortune. So make a note of what’s hot and see if you can’t come out with a similar product, just better.
What about autoresponder followups? Lots of marketers have trouble coming up with these little gems. No problem. Why not subscribe to one of the big gurus’ lists? Let him send you a few messages and see what he has to say. If he’s making a big income, and most likely if he’s a big name he is, then a lot of that success probably comes from the email messages that he sends out. Study them. See if you can’t figure out what makes them tick. Just make sure you’ve subscribed to a list in the same niche as yours. That way you’ll be copying tactics that you know will work.
What about pay per click? Google AdWords baffles a lot of people. Well, it shouldn’t. Just go to Google and type in the keywords for the niche that you’re interested in and then look at the right hand side of the page for the ads being displayed. It’s all right there for the taking…every carefully crafted ad, word for word. Study them. You’ll discover a lot from this. These are the tops ads so they’re the ones that are converting best. Basically, you want to concentrate on the first two or three of these ads.
Spying on your competition is so easy if you just know what to look for.
It’s like stealing candy from a baby.
To YOUR Success,
