Seeing the Big Picture of Online Marketing
(c) Charlie Page
Do you find the idea of doing business online confusing?
Most people do, and that’s understandable.
The fact is, nothing in our “offline” life prepares us to do business online.
Offline we are used to seeing customers or talking with them by phone.
Online we don’t do that.
Offline we cannot automate a sales process so that selling messages go out week after week with no effort
You can do that online (I’ll show you how)
And offline we don’t have confusing terms like “solo ad” or “autoresponder” or “ad tracker” to deal with.
Online there seems to be a whole new vocabulary to learn, and new skills to learn too.
But there is GOOD NEWS today!
You can make sense of doing business online and end the confusion if you can catch a glimpse of one thing.
If you can see this one thing you will quickly become well prepared to succeed online.
If you lose sight of this one thing you will spin into a cycle of confusion and disappointment.
What is the one thing?
* * * It’s the BIG picture! * * *
My goal today is to OVERVIEW what you need without going into very much depth about any one topic. You just need to get these things into your vocabulary.
We will go deep on each of these topics over the coming weeks in this very ezine.
I like things simple so I’ve listed the five things you need to succeed online.
Just the basics. But the basics, done well, will take you higher than you ever dreamed imaginable. They have for me.
I call these the ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS to success.
>>> 1. PEOPLE TO SELL THINGS TO
This is called a “market”. A market is really just a group of people who have something in common.
* Maybe they like to play golf
* Maybe they like to cook
* Maybe they like to make money or save money
* Maybe they want to start an online business
It doesn’t matter what they want. But what DOES matter is this.
1. Is the group large?
2. Will the group spend money?
There ARE ways to quickly and easily identify markets that will be profitable for you, and I will share those in this ezine.
>>> 2. A PRODUCT THESE PEOPLE WANT TO BUY
Once you find the group you need to find (or create) a product they will buy.
It’s actually easier than you might think. The key is to discover what they are buying now. If they are buying now they will buy what you offer.
A great way to find out what people want to buy is to ask. I’ll show you how to do that.
>>> 3. A WAY TO REACH THOSE PEOPLE
Ah, advertising. It really is what makes the Internet go round. If you don’t believe me just ask Google. They don’t sell all that ad space for nothing … they do it for the money!
You will HAVE to advertise to succeed online. Happily, you will not have to go broke doing it.
The three best ways to get started advertising online are these.
1. Article marketing
2. Pay per click advertising
3. Ezine advertising
There are many more methods available to you but if you faithfully use those three you will be happily surprised how well they work.
I will teach you how to do all three of those, and more.
>>> 4. A WAY TO MAKE THE SALE AND COLLECT THE MONEY
Do you need a website of your own? Yes you do.
But the good news is that creating a website is not the headache it used to be.
Using online services, templates and simple software you can create a beautiful and effective website quickly. I’ll show you how.
HINT: Start gathering what you want to say on your site NOW and not later. Far too many have created a website and then struggled to put words on that site.
>>> 5. A WAY TO SAVE TIME
The wonderful thing about the Internet is that you can leverage your time like nobody’s business.
Online you can literally do work one time – like writing this article – and have that work pay dividends for years to come.
Years? Yes! I’ve been doing this 10 years now and some of my articles have been online almost all of that time!
So there you have it … five things you must do and know about in order to succeed online.
If you sell as an affiliate or part of a program you will need to focus primarily on the advertising part, but eventually you will need them all.
I hope this clears up some confusion for you and look forward to sharing with you from my experience the specific ways you can use these essential elements to your advantage.

Ezine Marketing School
Viral Marketing is the method of putting out a message or having an application that is so gripping people spontaneously pass it along. Viral marketing as a concept is itself an example of going viral. Most good ideas are inherently spread just because they are good ideas. This also works for the outrageous, the inside scoop, and the highly entertaining.
Do you get emails that you pass on? Do you cut and paste pictures and send them out to your friends? Do you share the latest, not-yet-released song from your favorite band? All these are examples of viral in action.
It’s viral marketing when the system is used to attract customers and increase sales. But don’t make the beginner mistake of trying to go directly from a viral marketing campaign to the sales pitch. Get a little more subtle. Use viral marketing to get leads and build relationships.
No matter what you sell, along with it you are selling yourself and your abilities. In order for expertise to be seen by others, you need to leverage your abilities, now some take time, but, that doesn’t mean that your expertise offline cannot help you online.
Something as simple as selling comic books makes you more informed about them than I am. If I’m a buyer, I’m going to assume you know your product and can answer my questions and concerns. This puts you in the favorable position of having information your customers want. Even if it is just current prices and market trends, because you are in the business, you are a relative expert. This expertise can be leveraged into more contacts and sales.

Use several solo advertisements to test how well this version converts when compared to other versions. Testing is vital. To continually improve the conversion rate of your advertisements and their placement, you must test and record your results.
When creating a sponsor advertisement on the top of the ezine, avoid making an attempt to sell anything, rather give something away. Giving special reports, resource guides, subscriptions, etc, will add to the trust your reader has in you, and allows yoiu to get more traffic to your site and or to provide readers with valuable information that will keep them coming back to you which will allow you to upsell. Clearly communicate that nothing is for sale and that you simply want them to take action for free.
Format your ezine advertisement correctly before you place it in your ezine. For the best results, you should format your advertisement to 60 to 65 words. If the text isn’t formatted properly, lines will be broken and wrapped unprofessionally.
Setup contracts with ezines owners. Exchange ad space or create at least one high quality, exclusive article each month.
When combined with pay per click advertising, banners, and other smart forms of marketing, ezine marketing works even better, creating a dynamic advertising force that drives hordes of highly targeted, pre-qualified visitors to your website.
Searching for a way to get free publicity? Create an email newsletter. To best understand how ezines can help you sell more products, earn more affiliate commissions and increase your sign-up rates, you’ll want to know what ezine marketing is all about.
Ezine marketing has been proven successful for over 12 years, and is the most reliable, and cost effective, method of marketing available today. Ezine marketing is the basis from which you can build into other profit making ventures with ease. Ezine marketing for sales also gives the reader the ability to get your message conveniently and from a trusted source.
If you’re seriously interested in knowing more about ezine marketing, you need to think beyond the basics.
Consider contacting an ezine owner for a joint venture. This serves two purposes: it allows the other website owner to have a newsletter for their subscribers without having to do it by themselves, and secondly it allows you to benefit from their list of subscribers.
Use a powerful “call to action” in your advertisement, this is the part of the advertisement that tells the reader to stop looking and “buy now” or “get in now before you no longer can” or “start today for free.” An effective solo ad will integrate multiple calls to action.
Give your ezine reader the option to skip to your site immediately and in several different places throughout the ezine. When creating a solo advertisement, alter the copy so that it specifically portrays the product as a solution to a specific problem. See how to fix your problem…
Email marketers and ezine publishers are always trying to improve their deliverability, here are some tips to check off:
#1 Use a static IP address
#2 Ask a few keys questions
#3 Make sure your DNS entry is complete and correct
#4 Publish an SPF record for your domain
#5 See unsubsribes as a good thing
#6 Keep an eye on delivery rates at individual ISPs.
#7 Test your content
#8 Test for legibility
#9 Use a professional email marketing solution.
#10 Respect the recipient
“A well-timed, well-crafted email is much more likely to accomplish your goals than a steady stream of opportunistic, impersonal, or out-of-context message.” Make sure that your email campaigns are holding up their end of the bargain. Your site is there to provide information for visitors, your email should also be informative, but, you need to be driving traffic to your website with the ultimate goal of selling your product or service.
