One Of The Best Business Model For Internet Marketing

By Luis Galarza - Mobile Marketing.

Here Is One Of The Best Ways To Make Money Online!...



There are 1000's of ways to make money online with your own Internet based business, which sometimes makes it difficult for beginners to choose from. For this reason, one of the top questions new Internet entrepreneurs always ask me is what's the number one business they can start online?

Is a great question indeed. But, is also a question that is incomplete and has a lot of flaws!

Why do I said this? Well, a lot of people can tell you that their market, niche, model or opportunity is the best choice for anyone, because is already a profitable venture for them... The truth is, that it all depends on your knowledge of business, marketing, and the industry you are want to get into.

It also depends on how much love and passion do you have for that industry and what is your definition of success...

The right steps to find a good way to make money online are:
  1. Make a list of your skills, hobbies, job possitions, and interests.
  2. Do a market research to see if demand on any of those markets.
  3. Run a keyword research to find hot profitable search phrases use by potential customers.
  4. Make a list of on demand problems that need to be solve.
  5. Find a way to solve those problems in very unique way.
  6. Build a business that provides those solutions.
  7. Use strategic online marketing techniques to get your message in from of your targeted audience.

Is more into that process but that is the basics that you or any new net entrepreneur should do to help them find the right business model for yourself.



So, why do I said that the Internet business below is one of the best marketing models an entrepreneur can follow?

The answer is simple. I recommend the model below because it can be adjust to work in almost on any niche you can think of. And it doesn't matter what type of products you are selling or even if those products are from affiliate promotions, you can successfully adjust and use this method to generate a list of leads or hot prospects that you can build a relationship with and if they didn't buy at first, you have there contact information to follow up and sell them later, and then sell them again. This selling process is explain in better details in the book "The Great Formula" by Mark Joyner.



The Best Making Money Online Model!

This business method can be use as a way to generate leads for a current venture or to start a new Internet company. This method is base on a very successful Internet marketing strategy call OTO or One Time Offers, this OTO web-sites can be set up very easy using some services or scripts available on the web that are great for to set up a list building process. One that is very famous is the Butterfly Open Source Code, which now is available at zero cost to you. Here is the simple techniques:

1. First You need as much targeted traffic as you can get.

2. You offer something valuable as a giveaway to get your prospects to sign up for more updates.

3. You need a well design squeeze page or lead generating landing page. For this you need an autoresponder.

4. Then your prospect is send to a page where he or she is can read a message that remind them to confirm their subscription in order to get their goods.

5. When they go to their email and click on the confirmation link, they automatically will be send to a One Time Offer page where your salespage is going to try to sell them your best product or membership.

6. If your prospect purchase your first offer they go to an order form page where they enter their payment information and you get your money directly to your Paypal account, check or wired transfer depending on the the payment processor that you use.

7. Now if your prospect doesn't buy your first offer, then they are forwarded to a "Thank You" page, where they can get their giveaways.

8. In the other hand your new customer (the person that purchased your first offer) will send to a "Download Page" to get his paid goods.

9. Both your prospects and your new customers are now in your list server, which help you contact them with a ezine or online newsletter that has quality content or great deals.

10. Having your own list of targeted prospects and customers will open the doors for future sales, joint venture partnerships, and back end affiliate promotions!...

How easy do you think is this process?...

12 Web Marketing Things I Wish Would Just Go Away

By Luis Galarza - Internet Marketing For Beginners.

Sorry If You Are In The List Of Web Marketing Things I Would Like To Gone!...

Photo by Thomas Hawk.


What about that title uh? I know that coming from an online marketer and business owner like can be a little bit odd to see me writing a blog post like this one. But, after constant interaction by unethical Internet marketing practices, and by new marketer trying to do promote their ventures with wrong methods because they don't know any better, I got fill with frustration. Because is just sad what sometimes happened in this industry.


Is time to make a change!... Don't you think?


1. Mike Filsaime MarketingDotCom Newsletter: Is just great when a marketer want you to paid for no more than 16 pages of information you can get for free on a blog. Just and case I was a customer for 3 month just to see if they improve it... Didn't happened!

2. Print Newsletters Prices: You have love it when a company sell you a subscription to a 20 or less pages' newsletter for a monthly rate of $30 or more, just because is in print. Come on, you can get a year subscription to Entrepreneur Magazine for half of the price of a month rate and get over 100 pages of full quality information.

3. Free poor quality ebooks or report: Not because is free you are going to provide me something you wrote after drinking a 24 pack with your joint venture partner. Keep the junk for yourself!...

4. Tweets to a sale page: Hey people don't mind if you send them to a landing page where they can get some quality relevant report for free. But we just hate it when you trying to sell us, instead you need to connect we us.

5. Don't ask me to send a tweet mention for you: This is social media, the age of permission and authority. You want me to (FOLLOW) mention you on Twitter, you need to interact and show if you are worth my effort. But, please stop asking...

6. Did you see my profile link: I don't even know you yet and you asking if I saw your profile link to your site. Who cares!... Let's talk, let's share, let's connect, and maybe then I will check you link!...

7. Facebook Inbox Fillers: Just we are Facebook friends, but that doesn't mean you can use the message system as your own autoresponder. I aproved your friend request to connect with you, and to get to know you, not for you to spam me every single day with crap I don't want!

8. Mike Filsaime Instant Affiliate Sites: What!!!!... You mean I have to pay you in order to get a web site that promotes your own products? Where the world is coming to, I don't paid Amazon.com and they give me better promotion tools and a custom store. Sorry Mr. Mike but you need to stop smoking whatever it is that you smoke!...

9. Other marketers opinion as testimonials: Sorry but i don't think joint venture partners opinion should be use as testimonials. Do you think this is unethical?

10. Paid marketing tools: OK, this is a biggy, because there are some marketers trying to sell you a tool which is just an App that connects and get the results from a web service that is already available to you for free.

11. Scammers that kill opportunities: When you are in the Internet marketing industry your conversion suffers, just because some idiot scam some poor entrepreneurs that were looking for a solution to their business problem.

12. Hackers that love to hijack your social accounts: Come on... Are these people two years old or something....


Please if you think I forgat something that should be listed here, please share it with us by using the comment field at the top of this post. Also read:

Just in case, you need to know that not all the print newsletters are a waste of money, or that all marketers products are poor. I just want you to be careful with those that don't offer real value for your money. And yes, even Mr. Filsaime have some good products that I fully recommend, like his 7 Figures Secrest Report, which has some good information. Same thing goes to web tools, there are many great tools you should have as part of your arsenal like Keyword Elite for research, CPA promotions, and more.

3 Marketing Tips To Build A Strategic Online Business

By Luis Galarza - Online Business Tips.

The Secret Of a Successful Online Business Is On The Marketing Strategies Behind It!


So, now that you know that success is all about having a strategic marketing plan design to generate exposure with the right target audience, but what is suppose to be behind the strategies? The answer is a well thought out goals. Is no way you can start a business online or offline without a direction or a goal to meet, how will you develop an Internet marketing plan? How will you prepare an advertising campaign?

That will be like driving a car on the road without knowing where you are going... It may sound fun for a road trip with your friends but not if you want to build a serious Internet venture!

I know this is one of the top mistakes made by Internet marketing beginners, and sometimes even veterans in the field make this big mistakes. They start a small home business, they heard someone saying that is money to be make in a niche (any niche) and they buy a domain name, web hosting, sign up with a few affiliate programs or MLM (network marketing) systems or just a regular business opportunity... Then they go all crazy putting banners and ads everywhere they can, and sometimes they will put them where they don't supposed to, which will create problems in the future, like loosing their audience trust, credibility, and eventually their revenue.

They don't know if any of those ad campaigns will work. They don't know what they want to achieve with each campaign... They just wish it will generate an income or at least an extra income.

This way you will make it very difficult to gain any success, because you just shooting darts without a target board. To develop strategic marketing campaigns that have better response rates or web conversion rates you need to be focus on a set of good goals, short and long term goals.



The Tactics!

There are many ways or methods to set goals the for a company, today I want to share a few tips on how to do it strategically. One thing you should know is that when you set your main target, then you need to know that you need to set short term goals for the main one. The way this work is by you creating small steps that will take you to the top of the stairs.

Here are the tips:


Your Mission: Your first goal should be to create a profitable online venture that match you main focus.

So, How will you do this?
  • One of the easiest way to ensure success is by having a good marketing plan. A good plan is the one that is focus on achieving your company visions by using the best strategies that you can find.




1. The Methods!

To make your companies plan of attack be successful you need the elements that will take help you succeed. Some of the best ways are:

You need to use the right mix of strategies.
  • You need to decide which strategies are the most effective for the type of company you own.
  • Which of those methods are going to be use the most, or which ones are the most important ones depending on ROI.
  • As you know each business is different, and some methods will not work as well in some markets, so patients is a virtue in the process of finding the right mix of methods that will work the best for your specific business. So, don't be afraid of errors, because that's part of marketing, keep testing until you find what works.



2. Solid Methods!

What are solid methods? Are the ones that are excellent for the type of business or niche you are into.

The best strategies you can use for your online company are the ones you enjoy doing. Why is this?
  • This way you ensure that each project is finish on time because you like to do it!
  • Because if you like what you doing you won't have any problem on keep doing it!
  • Just to give you an example: If you hate receiving unwanted email promotions or spam, you may not want to use email marketing strategies in your mix.
  • But, you need to know that spam is the illegal and unethical way to use email campaigns. Ethical email marketing is permission or opt-in base marketing which has a high sales conversion rate and is excellent to build long lasting relationships with your customers and prospects. For more information about this method read "8 List Building Elements", "20 Giveaways For List Building: This Is Email Marketing On Autopilot", and "Email Marketing Mistakes You Need To Avoid".



3. Think Out Of The Net!

I said this to remind you about traditional or offline marketing methods, not because your business is run 100% online you can't get the exposure benefits from offline advertising and promotions.

So, another good way to apply strategic tactics is by mixing offline and online campaigns.

There are many great offline methods that can be use to market an website or blog effectively, here some of those low cost tactics:
  • One that can be apply right away are tear-off fliers that you can post on main town spots like stores and non-profit organizations. Just make sure to add good copy, your website or blog URL, and a good reason for people to visit the site.
  • Another way is by buying newspaper ads or radio ads just make sure your sales copy is design to create hot leads.
  • Another way is by distributing your business card to as many people as you can and add a sense of urgency or curiosity to make people visit your website. Think viral marketing!


To keep an strategic advantage over your competition you need to keep testing and finding new methods to add to your mix and to your plan.
