Starting a successful online marketing campaign depends on the tools at your disposal. So what will you need? To start, you’ll need: an auto-responder; a sales or squeeze page; an in-demand product related to your niche; a basic understanding of your niche audience; and a proven means of reaching them. Now, to putting all these together.
1) Building your list – as the old saying goes “the money is in the list”. Therefore, the first thing you’ll need is an auto responder in order to build a relationship with your own targeted list of potential customers. The key is getting them to like and trust you through offering friendly advice, tips, free gifts and other valuable information that helps them achieve their own personal goals. This is much better than buying an un-responsive, less-targeted and over exhausted list of leads.
2) Your Sales Page – this needs to be a high converting page that clearly shows your visitors the benefits they will receive if they enter their details. Either hide the rest of your site, where your products or offer is located, until they enter their details and become a subscriber to your list and/or then market to them through your emails. Offering a valuable gift to begin with, that is a related report or product is a good idea to entice visitors.
3) Your product – the product you choose should of course be in-demand and promoting the benefits of said product should be the number one priority. With an ever growing suspicious and sceptical audience, the need to state how it will help them achieve what they want to is becoming more important. This can again be reinforced through your follow up emails, constantly reminding your prospects of the benefits by using elements of the copy from your products sales pages, or from the product itself is a good idea. It’s commonly known that opportunity/info seekers, on average, need to see an offer over 7 times before they buy.
4) Understanding – This will enable you to build larger product inventories, tailor your messages, add value to you prospects; and build your portfolio to consist of even more stuff that they would normally be interested in buying. This can be done by using various demographic indicator sites and keyword tools; helping you to build an understanding of your market (i.e. the sites they are visiting, what they are searching for and also what other products they are interested in).
5) Get Traffic – whatever method you use, whether that be article marketing PPC, social networking or traffic exchanges; just try to make sure it’s a method where your target audience can be found, and that they would respond to. There are a number of ways to drive traffic, but your appreciation of your markets typical age, interests and issues will help make your mind up as to which strategy to use to drive traffic and build your list.
Building the foundations of a successful online marketing campaign and business is easily done by following the methods above. But, by continuing to only offer truly high value, exceptional products to your prospects and through building relationship with them by giving them opportunities to get to know you; you will gain respect, trust and be seen as an authority figure within your niche. Thus, creating a more receptive and targeted list in relation to your offers. However, be careful not to abuse your list, constantly “selling on it”, sharing it, or even worse, selling it. This will cause members to opt out and the equity that you worked so hard to build will be lost forever. Remember this proven online marketing methodology once again “the money is in the list”.
