Basic Training
Your new to internet marketing. You have a company product or service and your ready to
begin making money. But where do you begin? Well this all depends on your experience and skill level.
Most people don't know how to create their own website, that's okay because when your
starting out it's not necessary at first. One important thing to think about is YOU need to attract prospects to
your opportunity. You need to understand that prospects are not interested in your opportunity, if they look around
they will find someone else peddling it, you will just be another sheep in the herd. It's important that you
attract prospects to you not your opportunity.
Do you understand the passion concept? What will attract people to you? What will you
do or be to have them sign up with you? You need to look deep inside and find your passion. What is your passion?
What turns you on? What get' s up some days with excitement? What is it that is dear to you? When you find this
passion you will attract other people with similar interests...people just like you.
Do you like fishing? Do you like gardening? Are you a martial artist? Do you like fitness? Are you a runner? Do
you sing? Communicate your passion to them and invite your new friends into your world, share with them your
passion, give them tips, offer your knowledge, create a friendship and later on share with them your business
opportunity, but only after they have become a friend.
This passion concept makes it easier for you to attract people into your world.
- To begin find your passion
- Communicate it to the world
How do you communicate your passion to the world? Don't bother with a website yet. Start by creating a profiles
on social networking sites.
What are social networking sites? If you are currently a user of Myspace, Facebook or
Friendster, you know exactly how social network sites work.
A simple answer would be: social networking sites are web pages that facilitate for friendly and active interaction
among members. Most social networks are Internet based and aim to provide various and interesting means on how uses
can interact. Such features may include instant messaging, video calling, chat, file sharing, discussion groups,
voice chats, emails, blogging and so on.
Hub Pages and Squidoo and similar sites are a must. You can create web pages about pretty
much any topic, the search engines love these pages and will index them faster that if you tried to put up your own
website at first. You also earn a share of the advertising and affiliate revenue generated by the page. The tools
seem comparable, and make creating your page and embedding photos and videos quite easy.
Squidoo is my favorite, it's an easily built single page that you can link to blogs, favorite links, RSS feeds,
Flickr photos, Google maps, your eBay auctions, CafePress designs, Amazon books or music, and much more!
Why should I build a lens? Share your expertise. Increase your exposure and profile. Direct
traffic to your site. Make money from your Squidoo Lens. So, if you have a website, blog, charity etc, start a lens
right now, it's absolutley free.
You must create an Opt In Form: You will need to open an account with an email auto
responder such as AWeber service so that you can add a form to your
mini-sites to capture names and email addresses, within this account you will create your email communication with
your new prospects.
Create an account on Youtube and communicate your passion. Youtube is incredibly popular.
Add in other services like Google Video, and you have a genuine phenomenon. People are marching in droves to the
web to watch video. Why is online video taking off now? Part of the answer must be because most people have
broadband now. I doubt that is the main cause, though. The search engines love Youtube, your video will get indexed
faster than a webpage and people are now moving to video as a preffered form of communication. Post a short
video and at the end, embed a link to a page that has your opt in form.
