Internet Marketing Program

One of the most challenging aspects to considering, when starting a home-based business from zero is the little knowledge about offline and online marketing.

I specialized in psychology and human resources; I knew a lot about people but very little about computers, internet and less yet about any kind of marketing.

I feel kind of funny whenever I recall that the first marketing strategy I ever used for my own business was a home party to sell Mary Kay cosmetics to my best friend’s friends.

Don’t take me wrong I do think hinghly of Mary Kay and how she revolutionized the cosmetic industry with these home parties. I just wasn’t confortable with those marketing methods.

So, when I got sick and tired of holding parties, handing out cards, posting flyers everywhere and pitching my business opportunity to anyone I could think of with no results, I decided to try the internet. I had heard before of people doing well marketing with Google with something known as Pay Per Click.

I didn’t have any experience or knowledge about marketing through internet, all I knew was that if other people were succeeding, I could too. Unfortunately I didn’t realize that the internet charges an expensive “tax” to finally grasp the whole internet marketing thing.

You will not want to get in without knowing exactly what you are doing, like I did, because that could cause you to loose a lot of money, like I did.

*I spent over $12,000 in Google just to have my campaigns “slapped” more than once.

*I created tons of ads with 0 responses

*And in the end, I was paying $30 per lead instead of $2 to $3, as the pros do.

It was one my most frustrating experiences and I didn’t quit just because I was more stubborn than Google itself.

Luckily for me and the members of my team I eventually found a simple solution

And as it turned out, this turnkey solution, was the smartest thing I could do for my home business.

This is the reason I consider this step the key element to succeed online.

Two things you do not want to do when considering the marketing aspect of your business:

1. You don’t want to chase people with a big sign saying “please Join My Business I desperately need you” That is exactly what your face says whenever you’re hosting parties, handing out cards without people asking for them or pitching on your friends and their friends, or cold calling leads.

2. You don’t want to venture ALONE to the internet to learn a bit of this and a bit of that. Trust me, at the end that will cost you more money!

You will not want to stand on quicksand, especially for something as important as the MARKETING of your business.

To succeed in your self-employment journey THROUGH INTERNET you need to stand on SOLID GROUND.

The smartest thing to do is to join someone or a team who is successfully doing internet marketing, whose daily activities have to do with internet marketing and who can demonstrate to you that they know what they’re talking about, when it comes to internet marketing.

If you want to use online advertising and avoid the internet marketing “tax”, then you don’t want to partner with someone who likes to do home meetings, hand out cards, post flyers or buy low-quality and uninterested leads.

You need a team that specializes in what is known as the “work smart” approach. While less experienced home business owners are making lists of their friends and family members to pitch,

…Leaders Under a “Work Smart Approach” Use The Most Advanced Marketing Methods To Attract The Right People To Them, and The Best Part is That They Basically Do It on Autopilot.

Unfortunately this ability cannot be acquired overnight and does require the right kind of training.

For example…

Let’s say that you contacted me today in order to start up in my main business.

While I’m sure you are a smart and successful leader – you might not have the whole internet marketing knowledge just yet.

How can I possibly teach you all the in’s and out’s of internet marketing and lead generation in a short period of time? I’ve paid for my training well over $10,000, without considering the $12K I spent on Google, plus a full year of my precious time.

Believe me I would not want you go through all the things I had to go through.

That’s not really practical for you or us because we (you and I) want you producing results quickly.

Now let’s consider the other side, what are you supposed to do when you have a new business partner joining your team?

Do you have the knowledge and skills necessary to help them hit the ground running? Can you teach them online marketing quickly?

More likely NOT.

What is the solution then?

Reduce your learning experience by getting into an already created internet marketing system. A system that can hand to you a step by step blueprint to follow, allowing you to generate your own leads and sales quicker than you can even dream of.

These types of companies have already put together the most comprehensive training platforms to show you how to generate your own leads, while you build your own home business.

Usually they will train you on:

Paid and free internet marketing strategies like Pay Per Click, Ezines, Banners, Post Cards, Article Marketing, Social Networking and so on.

All in the same platform!

You’ll most likely have access to a forum and Mastermind Group where members from all over the world get together to master mind and help each other succeed, Learning from other’s experiences and listening about success stories is one of the fastest ways to make it BIG.

And that’s the type of team and environment you’re going to have to find if you want to avoid the internet marketing “tax”.

The alternative is to make that list of your 100 closest friends and family members.

If that’s something that you’d settle for, I’d suggest that you forget about your self-employed plan through internet and keep your offline efforts.

It’s a hard reality but you wouldn’t make it as a lawyer without going to law school, and you won’t make it as an internet entrepreneur without learning how to generate your own leads through internet.

The most important training you need for your Internet new business is to learn exactly how to generate your own leads for little or no cost. And while you’re learning or if you don’t have the time or the inclination to learn, you can look for turnkey lead generation solutions to tap into.

You can easily find successful internet marketing systems that will sky rocket the results of your internet marketing efforts. These systems nowadays come in all sizes and styles, but for any needs. For example, if you’re currently into MLM or Networkmarketing you would want to look into a system that can allow to promote your current business opportunity while leveraging the internet as the medium to get more leads, follow up on them and sign up new reps.

All these things are possible now, and it’s just a matter of knowing where to look.

I find it amazing that regular people, like me, with very little knowledge and experience in internet marketing can become savvy marketers in a matter of months thanks to these great internet marketing systems.

You can also do it.

Independently of the internet marketing system that you pick, it is vital for you to realize that you need one to succeed in internet, because trying to do everything and all by yourself will take you too much time and energy.
