The term Internet
Marketing covers quite a bit of marketing techniques and systems used to
get ones wares in front of a target audience online. But I am here to tell you
that there are just a few key areas to focus on that will give you the most
coverage no matter what your business is about… those are the ones we will
focus on here.
SEM
The oldest and most popular form of Internet Marketing is called SEM
(Search Engine Marketing). This is a tried and tested method that has been
around from the beginning of the internet. With this method usually you invest
either time or money to set it up and it lasts pretty much forever. This form
of marketing also includes…
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) off-site
- SERP (Search
Engine Results Page) targeting
- Inbound Link
Building
- Article Marketing

PPC
PPC is another form of Internet
Marketing which has been around a few years. With this form of marketing
however if you stop spending money then you stop getting results. This form of
Marketing can become quite expensive especially if you do not know what you are
doing. The long and short of this marketing method is to make sure your product/service
can support your spend. But with that said it is the fastest way to get
targeted traffic to ones website or product.

Email Marketing
This is the one method of marketing that is the most cost
effective yet is the most overlooked or underutilized. People generally check
their email daily even if they do not log into each of their social presence as
often. So this method has somewhat of a captive audience.
It is well worth the effort to implement Email Marketing as soon
as you can into your marketing mix. And these days its much easier than you
think to use it effectively.

Marketing here.
Social Marketing
With that out of the way, the big buzz now-a-days is Social Marketing. This is mainly so as
it is reported that Google gives added points when this form of marketing is
prominent in your marketing mix. You can do this on your own to save on cost
but it is generally labor intensive. Many people give up after a while. So it
is generally better to hire someone to do this on your behalf. This is a little
tricky to implement as they are optimum ways to approach this. Do not approach
this marketing method without a solid detailed plan as I can assure you that
your competition is not without a good plan. And remember these days your competition
in not just in your locale, your competition is pretty much the global market.
You need to approach Social
Marketing in a optimized, systematic way. Get details here.
Influence Marketing
The newest form of Social
Marketing is influence based. It is so new that the information as to how
to best use this method is still being written at this time. You should
understand that this can be a very expensive form of paid marketing as well.
In Closing
Before we go any further I would advise you to start with
one marketing system in the beginning, get it working like clockwork before you
move on to the next marketing technique. Otherwise you will feel overwhelmed.
This way also you can easily measure the effectiveness of each marketing system
implemented.
Oh and another thing. Do not think you need to learn to do
each marketing technique on your own. What I propose you do is get a general
overview then hire out the work to experts. It can be as cheap as $50 a month
to as high as you can imagine. So you get to chose how much you spend based on
your needs or how much you budget to spend.
This all applies if you already have a website. If you do
not have a website as yet there is a more optimum approach to Internet Marketing I can introduce you
to…
