So What Is Internet Marketing?
Internet Marketing has been around for over quite some time now but to understand what it really means, we need to go back to the origin of the word - 'marketing' - itself.
Marketing, as is commonly known to all, simply means promoting 'products, services or information' to consumers, by employing and utilising various strategies, with the objective of selling.
Therefore, as an Internet Marketer, you will need to :
1. Determine your consumers` or potential customers` needs, desires and perhaps, buying behavior first before attempting to promote any products to them.
2. Afterwhich, you then develop strategies - both online and offline, that will highlight your product`s important features so that you are able to persuade your potential customers to purchase your product/s.
3. It is very important after that to ensure that your customers are satisfied with their purchase/s but if they don't, rectify the situation fast!
In the past, marketers were satisfied with just the sale of products and services. However today, successful marketers make it their strategy to sell to existing customers more than finding new buyers. Why is that so? This is because it is more profitable to sell to existing consumers than to new ones!
So why do I elaborate on the above definition? Because essentially, that is what 'marketing' is all about. If you understand the above definition then you do have the correct perspective already as an Internet marketer and with this in mind, you have the prerequisite to become a successful online entrepreneur!
With marketing as defined above, I'm sure you now understand why almost all the successful Internet Marketers today flood your server with opt-in emails! Or fire you up with their newsletters` latest edition. This is so because they have already considered you as within their loop of customer base eventhough you have not bought anything from them before.
However, as an advice - the unscrupulous marketers would target everyone and everybody who could be a potential customer! They target especially on the innocents by offering all kinds of products and programs instead of educating the unsuspecting readers. So If you are a complete newbie and is one of those who have only just begun surfing the internet in search for an online business and dream, do be careful and beware!
