noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Kok) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 12:31:00 +0000

Initially there are a lot of ways or tactics which users can use to publish their selling ideas.

For you as a user of Internet Marketing, what do you wonder?
Internet Marketing is an only way to connect with the internet world. But through the internet world, there are a lot of tactics for users to use to connect with their consumer.
As you can see through the poll question which we had post, "What three Internet Marketing tactics will you emphasize in the next 3 months?"

We've got our results.
Social networking gets the highest votes which stands 25%. As we can see that nowadays social networking sites stands partial in the internet world and everybody takes it as a routine task to check and communicate with each other. That is why it is important and it is one of the tactics where users get their audience.

Blogging stands 19% which stated as the second important tactics among all. Blogging is part of a routine for users right now as it is a common strategy to aim for your audience. Nevertheless, through blogging itself, the users get to earn money too.

Video marketing voted as the third important tactics which stands 16%. Video marketing is part of a way where users market their products through some video and publish it.

Search engine optimization stands 12%. Consumers tend to search information through SEO, but why it isn't as high as others? It is because there are so many websites and it is difficult for consumers to find your website as you wouldn't know where your website is placed.

Both offline advertorials and pay-per-click stands 10%. However email marketing stands the lowest which is 9%. This is because nowadays people do check their email, but they neglect the non-important emails.

What do you users think? Other than these tactics, are there any better tactics to replace them?

How To Find Good Affiliate Offers

There are a ton of affiliate offers out there. There is a lot of money to be made for sure. But scattered among the legitimate ones are the shady offers by companies who charge a lot of money for a much-less-than-awesome product, confuse the customers, withhold the actual amounts they will be charging, and make it nearly impossible to get your money back once you realize what’s happened.

As an affiliate marketer, you have to be responsible for what products you’re promoting, in the same way that you’d be responsible for items you sell in your own shop.

So how do you tell which affiliate products are beneficial to the customer and which are harmful? Who the rip-off artists are, and who are decent companies with a decent product or service? There are a few things you can do, all of which come under the heading of research, investigation and due diligence.

1. Buy the product or service yourself and check it out. This isn’t required, just an option.
2. Do a Google search and see how people review the company, their product or service.
3. Check the number of complaints against the number of positive comments.
4. Study Google’s regulations to find out what they like and don’t like, so you

The most important thing is that you really KNOW what it is you’re promoting before you promote it. There is more to this subject than just how much the payout is. For more specifics on this subject, watch the clip below.

Below is the related video link that briefly describes about how to find good offers.

Seventh Poll Result

With our previous poll question to carry out a survey that we had asked "which of the following online advertising company have you heard off?" And we had obtained our poll result after one week of accumulation.

As you can see from the pie chart above, we had given 5 choices for the readers to select their answer specifically. But, with the result that is shown, is pretty obvious that out of 5 advertising company, only 3 of them are voted known by our readers.

From here, Google Adsense had the highest market share or known compare to the other advertising company. Which 50% is the statistical result of what our readers had chosen among the other advertising company. What can be said is that, not surprise that Google Adsense were better known among our readers because blogger itself has the monetize function and connection with Google Adsense. Where bloggers can just right away register as a Google member from blogger itself.

On the other hand, another two advertising company that has the same percentage of results from the poll were Nuffnang, and Chitika. Nuffnang can consider started not too long ago. It was established in the year of 2006. But it is a successful advertising company in Asia pacific where it was the first advertising company that established and leading in Asia Pacific. While Chitika was founded in the year of 2003.

People who blog these days do sign-up with different existing advertising company. Because at some point it might generate some extra income for them. But to achieve generating with outstanding amount of cash, one's blog or website has to be extra-ordinary and also has high traffic that is stationary.

With online advertising company today, some lucky people out there are earning four to five digits in just a month these days.

Last but not least, we had obtained from our readers that, none of them that participates on our poll come across to know about Advertlets and Abrites advertising company. Perhaps is just among our readers? Or shall both of this company starts to build their awareness even more frequently?

Internet Marketing Myths

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Kok) — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 04:57:00 +0000

Link to us: http://snipr.com/uuh7a

Owning a business through internet marketing is very common nowadays. Some do have experience in handling a business but some doesn't. A lot of people failed to do it because they believe in myths.

1. Internet marketing is easy

People feels that internet marketing is just as easy as a click at all the buttons. They didn't think of the consequences which leads them to failure. There is so much to learn in internet marketing, it takes time to learn and do it. Working through internet marketing, there is no shipping of goods no sales staff and no overhead. There is a lot of work which you can't expect you alone to do it all.

2. Anyone can make money online

This is not very true as sometimes business through internet marketing may make you lose money. Why do we says that? It is because when we have the stock with us and nobody is buying from us, we will never make money. That is why we must have good strategies while dealing with all the problems and always find solutions.

3. You can get rich fast on the net
Although a lot of news about all these online business is a scam or it is hard to handle one. Still people doesn't believe it and keep going on with their plans. We must have a thinking that there is nothing stated as "We can get rich in just one night". We have to pay extra attention on all believes and planning.

4. It is FREE to do online business
Nothing is free in this world. We need to face the reality same as this situation. A lot people think that building up a business through online is easy and free. It isn't true anymore. Think of you opened a coffee shop and wants to get known through online and do a little business through online. Think of the maintenance to keep up the good work through internet and you need to update it too. It charged.

After reading all the myths above, do you feels that this is what we as human being think of all these while? Nothing is impossible and free, but we need to keep an eye on every purchase and thoughts that we are willing to give in.

SEO is part of a place which helps in the promotion of sites, at the same time it requires technical knowledge as part of the internet family which needs familiarity of the basics HTML. SEO is a place where users can go on with their activity and optimize the web pages in order to make the search engine friendly and get a higher positions in search results.

From the above paragragh you roughly get to know what SEO is and what is it all about. Here is the important which we would like to share with you. The major DON'Ts of SEO.
We must avoid from creating problems and mistakes so that we can carry on with a genius and perform well in the world of search engine optimization.

1. We mustn't leave the SEO website opened too long because when you start your own website development, you must know and think well what are you SEO strategies as it is the most important part which needs to be thought from the start.

2. We must make out website crawl-able. You must always make sure your website can be crawled by one of the search engine which is known as search engine spiders. If your website is not crawled, the search engine can't detect you.

3. We shouldn't waste our time submitting our website to all the search engines as it waste a lot of time and procedure to be done. A type of search engine which is crawler based search engine will find you website very quickly as it is part of their job to do so.

4. Try to use keywords which are special and not too general because when crawlers detect you, they save you by your keywords. This is being used when users of search engine do research and there the websites will be shown and it depends on the importance and keywords of your website.

5. Usability is part of the main maintenance of your website. Users will rank your website whether it is user-friendly enough. If users will think so, search engine will think about this issue too. They need efficient for the users to user so that users get to enjoy the user-friendly usability.

6. Content is the most important for your website. Try to think of this way, what is user looking for while they are doing research? Of course reliable and useful content. As well that it is a way for search engine to note your keywords through the content that you are posting. So this is why creating good content can be a good spot for all.

7. We must have patience once started an SEO. Although it takes quite sometime to progress, but it takes a lot of time to do the processing of an SEO. Attention is needed most to look up and update yourself on the progress of it.

Fifth poll result

noreply@blogger.com (stellasukka) — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 08:01:00 +0000

Link to us: http://snipr.com/ukt69

According to our previous poll question that we had asked to our readers, which marketing strategies do you prefer to use most? And we got our final result from our participants of polls.

Now according to the pie chart above, there is quite a huge number or percentage of participants answer that they would choose social networking as the marketing strategies that they preferred. Which 66.7 percent is the specific statistical result of what social networking is being choose rather than the four other choices.

As we believe that, most people who starts of building their network for any occasion like an example which is internet marketing related, the strategies they would probably practice is by social networking which is a social structure of a few individuals or organisation building up their relationship. Just like a blog-shop, social networking is the most often seen internet marketing strategies that we can see these days to increase their traffic.

On the other hand, blogging and also press release submitting is also the other two types of internet social networking that the poll voters prefer to use. As you can see, two of this internet marketing strategies stands 16.7 percent each out of 100 percent each equally for the final result from the voters. I guess blogging will be one of the potential internet marketing strategies that will increase in percentage of people using in the future.

Looking from the pie chart above, we had obtained from our readers that none of them prefer article writing and others as their internet marketing strategies. So the conclusion from our readers choice of internet marketing strategies is by social networking, blogging, and last but not least press release submitting.

World Wide Web is an Internet Marketing tool

Hello everyone, Chinese New year has ended and posts resume as usual

Since the World Wide Web is so widely available, businesses can access millions of potential customers with just a few clicks of their mouse. Yet, as with any form of advertising, there are some disadvantages of Internet marketing as well. Each business owner and salesman will need to consider both in order to decide if online promotion is right for them. By their options and determining the type of consumers they need to reach, they can see more of the advantages than the disadvantages.

One of the advantages of Internet marketing is the broad reach it has to consumers. The Web is not just nationwide - it's worldwide. This means that your product or service can be viewed by people just about anywhere in the world. Compared to other forms of advertising, Internet marketing can reach a far larger number of people. Television and radio ads just can't compare to a pop-up or banner ad online. Mailings get thrown away and aren't cost effective. Billboards only reach those who happen to be paying attention at just the right time. Consumers will hang up on or put off talking to a telemarketer. In the time it takes to make one phone call, you can send thousands of emails. Overall, it just makes more sense to put your money into online promotions.

4 Internet Marketing Twitter Don'ts

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Kok) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:07:00 +0000

Link to us: http://snipr.com/ujr8u

As a user of Twitter, have you ever wonder what you should avoid while twitting?

I assume you should be wondering what will the answers be.

Think deeply what are the DO and DON'T for a Twitter user just for the purpose of INTERNET MARKETING.

Although you can earn money through all social networking sites, but Twitter is still a famous way of doing it. Look at the picture below.

(image obtained from

http://images.google.com.my/imglanding?q=twitter%20internet%20marketing&imgurl=http://benjanke.com/images/featured/twitter-whale600x400.png&imgrefurl=http://benjanke.com/&usg=__gYRwZkF7sKGHEQCZYnm2AkmwZ0M=&h=400&w=600&sz=413&hl=en&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=gB4-S-fFlEfM1M:&tbnh=90&tbnw=135&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtwitter%2Binternet%2Bmarketing%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&sa=N&tbs=isch:1&start=11#tbnid=ZY25lRcyHBbWPM&start=94)

Here comes the explanation what you shouldn't twit for Internet Marketing:

1. Don't twit every little thing about yourself. You should be wondering why. People wouldn't know or remember what are you doing or going through for what you have twit. Except, or maybe your closest friends who really care about you reads and remember every bit of it. Think it in another way, one of your friend twits every single details what had happened. Will you really care about it? It will be a boring notice for them or a conversation for them talking about you and your little happenings.

Think about your future too. What if you twits something wrong? The server just saved every single detail you wrote and there is no way you can delete it from the server right? There is always a copy which you can buy from the server but never get deleted. What if you future boss wants to know more about you and they search for what you've did through the internet. Things will never be the same. As you see below, Twitter is the top 50 entrepreneurs, which means Twitter is a way to connect to anyone and it is very well known among business people.

2. Don't just twit affiliate links. If you're trying to start a business through social networking sites, don't use affiliate links. As in don't post the link where users can buy the product from. People will think you as a spammer who is trying to introduce some product.

Try another way which is post some information regarding the product that you're selling, then introduce your product and the price etc. This is a way users wouldn't get confuse or interrupt by other affiliate links.

3. Don't use product image as your avatar or profile picture. This is a bad step if you do so, people will be wondering. What if you are selling more than one product? People will think what are you trying to sell and who are you. Usually users wants to confirm who the seller is and put some interest and trust on them before doing a trading.

4. Don't curse. This is part of a language which users love to use to express themselves. Think of the consequences if you do so. People will lost interest towards you. Although there are people who wants to buy your product, but they will think twice before doing so because they have uncertainty in their mind.

Dear readers, what do you think after reading these FOUR DON'T? Wondering what is your next step? Better buck up while twitting and know well the DON'T.

Any DON'T which you would like to tell us? Please do comment.

You have to stay in mind that Twitter is a place where anyone can follow your account. By just clicking the following words:

First and foremost, do all of you actually know about the hidden benefits of internet marketing?

Or do most of you just get yourself involve with internet marketing, just because you think that it can allows you to earn some money without the need of stepping out from house

Today, I would like to remind and share some hidden benefits of using internet marketing which most of you might not realize about it.

Number one, the advantages of using internet marketing is that it allows you to cancel off tax from the list of costs when you operate a home based business. Besides that you can also save the cost of distance to travel, cost of office usage such as the computers where you may use own property. And what is the best part is that you uses your own house as the working area, from this expect, you really can save up much more than people who start up a shop for business at outside.

The second benefit is that you get to start of a business from a very low cost. What is the meaning that I am trying to tell you guys?

Ok, look at the point where a business can be started just by joining an affiliate program free of charge. Or else starting a business from a personal website with just using a few hundred ringgit which is considered very low already. If to compare to those people who wants to start of a business which at least five thousand ringgit is needed to start off. Isn’t it having a business with internet marketing easier?

Next, one of the benefits that you might not realize with using internet marketing for business is that your business is open 24 hours every single day worldwide.

That’s right! Even when you are sleeping, it is open as well. Isn’t it great people?

And the best of all is that there is no need to hired any part timers which will cost us again.

The fourth benefit of is that the profit margin will be higher because the cost of product or services are low. That is why; you will most likely get to keep more profit that is made from the sales. And if happen that you are selling products which is presented through online like the e-book, shipping fees will be saved up as well.

And the very last benefit of using internet marketing to start of a business is that, you do not even have to own any product at all.

This simply means that you can actually just promote for others when you are free. And with joining the affiliate program, not only that you can manage a business with any cost but also get yourself to not involve in buying any product to keep as read y stock and eventually it might be excessive. So in this case, the risk is lower down.

Lastly, after reading the above listed benefits, hope it will helps out a little in increasing your knowledge about why it is good to start of a business with internet marketing.

Translation:
Good evening dear listeners, I am Rachel. The topic that I would like to discuss today is about “Strategies of Internet Marketing”.

Do you know that starting a business through Internet Marketing is not easy?
- There are some procedures that you have to follow and one of them is read through articles which are related to what you going to do. Reading articles is not the only way, there are questions which you have to ask yourself and make a clear mind and very sure of your answer.

The first question will be – Who are your customers?
- This means who are your preferably customers for the product that you are offering or selling and who are your special customers.

The second question is – What are you offering?
- This refers to what you want to sell to your customers. You have to explain your product well so that your customers know what you are selling so that they get the point and will not confuse.

After asking yourself these 2 questions, you have to know what kind of strategies you are aiming. There will be 4 strategies that I am going to discuss.

The first will be online research.
What comes to your mind after you see the word online?
- It will be internet. You have to do some research through internet where it is a place which you can get a lot of information.
What kind of information are you going for?
- Of course regarding the product which you are going to promote. Besides, do some research about your competitors?
Do you know what you need to research about them?
- You have to know who are they, what they are doing about their products and how are they doing it. This is a way to search for their weaknesses and from there you can grab what they are capable of and from their weaknesses, repair it.

The second step that you need to do is data analysis.
Do you do this very often or do you know what you should do here?
- You have to gather all the information and summarize it with all the important information. This is to prevent you to get confuse and get everything straight to the point.

The third step is strategy development.
This is a planning role. How often do you plan before doing something?
- Before starting a business through internet, always plan what you will be starting with. Plan well so that everything goes well.

Plan well then start your business.
The fourth step is to monitor your business or your performance through the process of selling. This is a way to search for how and what you need to improve in.

战略 = Strategies
网络营销 = Internet Marketing

Have you ever think of how you going to serve well and regain your business and get back all your customers without any doubt?

The most important is customer service. It is very important although you are serving network marketing and you does not need to face the customers. Customers always need feedback and good serving which will lead them to a better product. Besides, you as the seller has to know what you clients need.

Since you does not communicate them face-to-face, but you still can email them and ask them a few questions as this goes better for you products and your marketing perspective.

From my own opinion, I do get calls from some of the customer service in reality as I does not know how they get my number. They tried their best to persuade us to believe in their products and also get their perspective towards their marketing facts. They did not think of how will the client feel. I myself feels very annoying compare to network marketing customer service as we does not have to talk to them, we just need to answer a few questions and that all.

What do you think about this issue after reading this blog post? Is it a good idea to provide a good customer service in Network Marketing? And do you agree that it is the best way to get more feedback compare to reality calls from the customer service?

Spending on Internet advertising in 1996 totaled $301 million in the U.S. While significant compared to the zero dollars spent in 1994, the figure paled in comparison to the $175 billion spent on traditional advertising as a whole that year. As the number of Internet surfers continued to rise, however, interest in the Internet as a mass-media vehicle increased. Online advertising grew to an industry worth nearly $1 billion in 1997. The Internet became increasingly popular in the late 1990s, and the viability of the Internet as a marketing medium emerged as more than mere speculation. Millions of surfers logged on to the Web each day, and many businesses were determined to reach this new audience. Web sites emerged for companies in nearly every industry, ranging from household cleaning products and cosmetics to electronics and automobiles. At the same time, many firms realized that simply creating a Web site wasn't enough to create a solid Internet presence; they also needed to drive traffic either to their sites or to their specific advertisements

First poll result

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Kok) — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 01:48:00 +0000

Link to us: http://snipr.com/u6fyv

The week 1 poll questions, do you think that Internet Marketing is very important nowadays?
Through the first post of our blog "Internet Marketing", we have mention and explain the difference of Traditional Marketing and Internet Marketing.

As we can see from the above chart, there is 52% of the readers whom feel and think that Internet Marketing is very important to us.
From my own opinion, as I can see that there are a lot of online business which the public use it as a way to interact with the people all around the world and let the public know the existence of the product and make comparison for what they have seen.

However, there is only 4% of the readers who thinks that it is not important because they may think it is a waste of time to build time in front of the computer. They may choose facing the public from face-to-face rather than just typing words and uploading some videos, creating websites, or putting some narration to attract the public to know about the product.

As for that, there is always answer for "maybe" which stands 44% over 100%. Some readers use two types of marketing as they feel both is rather important towards us as both ways, traditional marketing and internet marketing, are still a way to connect to the public.

What do you, dearly readers think? Which way is rather appropriate and important to you to connect to the world and get to know everything?
