20th century marketing. How do you market your online business?

20th century marketing. How do you market your online business?

Marketing your online business. I want you guys to step back and take a look at yourselves, I mean really evaluate your tactics and the way you market your online business...ask yourself "How I market my online business? Do you market "yourself" or do you market your company? Have you evolved from old school marketing into 20th century markeing? When you meet new people are you blind siding them with your "sales pitch" or are you taking the time to get to KNOW them?

You guys should really think about that...People are changing and the "old skool" way of marketing is NOT working anymore. When it come to marketing your online business people do not buy your "sales pitch", people are more interested in you getting to know them as a person. You have to build up a relationship and gain their trust. It's not all about "Oh, I have to get this person to join my online business" or "Once THIS person sees my online business opp, they CAN'T say no." WRONG! If you do this, you're leave a sour taste in peoples mouths when you just slap them in the face with your sales transcript or what have you.

You have no way of knowing if YOUR online business is right for them, you're just ASSUMING that it is. I get so many different (bad) "sales pitches" in my email inbox with a LONG sales pitch or a link to check this out a site without even so much as a "Hey", "Hello" or, "How ya doing?" Do you really think that's gonna get you a sale? No, it won't because those days are gone, it just doesn't work like that anymore. We are in the 20th century, we all have to realize this and 20th century marketing is what we all should be utilizing. There are COMPLETELY new methods of online marketing available to you; for us to learn and if you haven't caught up, then I suggest you get smart and start right now or else get left behind.


Think about these questions when marketing online, "How can I HELP this person." "What VALUE can I be to this person?" these should be questions should be your main focus and concern...you understand what I'm saying? This is how you start attracting leads instead of annoying and chasing them down (I'll talk about that in a furture blog).

Success follows value...Think about that.

Provide VALUE and genuine INTEREST in a person and success will surely follow.
