What do you know about internet marketing? Do you have a marketing plan? If you do, do you wish to improve upon it? It’s what you’re using working with your business or against it? Are you sure you are marketing properly? If you cannot answer these questions confidently, look at the tips below.

If you are using an email to communicate with your customers, make sure that it is a professional email account. You would not like the feeling of getting an email from someone you are contacting for work from an email from a free email site. Get an email that is tied to your website.

Offer two versions of your product so that it can appeal to a wider range of people. You should have a basic version and then a premium version that is a bit more expensive than the first. People like to believe that they are getting exclusive things so a lot of people will go for the more expensive.

Starting a blog for your online business will help you to have discussions with your customers. Readers will be able to comment on your articles. Those who comment on your articles are potential customers. Comments are great, and will help you to be able to discuss things with your customers or potential customers.

You do not have to keep your audience spellbound, but you do have to keep them interested. To do this, make sure your content is always constructed in an entertaining way. There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of humor or a personal account about how this product or service you’re pushing has affected you.

Join your local chamber of commerce. Membership here will allow you to meet and interact with other business owners and you can possibly strike up a few joint ventures. The chamber of commerce is also a great place to find out local information that you can use to your advantage.

Create a personal connection with your reader. Your online marketing materials should be written in first- or second-person to make the site visitor feel that the email or article is written specifically with their interests at heart. It also brings your brand down to a more human level, rather than a large, faceless corporation.

You may be an amateur Internet marketer, but your efforts need to appear as if they’re professional. If you do not know how to build a website or to construct correct product descriptions or landing pages, outsourcing this work to a qualified expert will ensure that people take your brand seriously.

An important tip regarding Internet marketing is to be sure that you understand what other companies occupy the same market space as you. This is extremely important because before you can even begin to develop your marketing plan, you need to know what your competition is up to. Then, you can base your plan around either filling in gaps left by other companies, or showing how your product is better.

If you want to be successful in internet marketing you need to be able to back-up all the claims that you say on your website with indisputable evidence. Some of the things that you can do is to add third party test studies or testimonials from reputable sources. Being able to build trust from your consumers is very important.

Now that you’ve chosen a banner design for your website, you have to decide if you’re going to use single-site advertising or network-wide advertising. With single-site advertising, you find sites that relate to your product but are not in direct competition with it. In most cases, you then pay them a specified CPM amount, usually ranging from two to five dollars. With network-wide advertising, you join an advertising network that can feature your banner on select product-related websites or on all of the websites in the network. This method can set you up with banner ads on dozens to hundreds of different websites.

Are you more informed when it comes to internet marketing? Do you have a new plan or do you have a better plan now? Can you now promote your business better? Do you know how to properly market your site? With any luck, the tips above should have created better answers.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant.

Author’s program note. Let’s be clear about something right from the start: the current scandal at the Internal Revenue Service is by no means the worst the agency has endured… yet at any rate. The IRS has a scrapbook full of more abashing moments and grim memories of things they shouldn’t have done… and got caught red-handed doing.

Item: In the1930s President Franklin Roosevelt used the IRS against a grab bag of political opponents, including mega-publisher William Randolph Hearst (think “Citizen Kane”), Louisiana Governor Huey Long, and controversial radio priest Charles Coughlin.

Item: In the 1940s and 1950s corruption and bribery were rife. Hundreds of (not so) shame-faced employees were dismissed, while President Harry Truman ordered a major reorganization. Employees were put under civil service guidelines to curb political influence.

Item: During the administration of President John Kennedy, the IRS created an “Ideological Organizations Audit Project”  that investigated conservative groups and challenged their tax-exempt status. The (apple-polishing) IRS started the project after Kennedy complained during a news conference about right-wing groups getting tax-exempt status. Targets included the American Enterprise Institute and Christian Anti-Communist Crusade.

Item: In the 1960s and 70s the Nixon administration created an IRS unit called the Special Services Staff, or SSS to target activists and political dissidents. The White House drafted the notorious  “enemies list” of political opponents to be targeted for IRS audits. Here, however, common sense (the most limited of commodities in the capital) intervened in the person of Treasury Secretary Donald Alexander who said he wouldn’t audit Nixon’s political enemies and ordered the SSS dissolved.

Then there’s the current scandal which apparently started in the IRS’ Cincinnati regional office. There someone had the bright idea of making it difficult, if not impossible, for conservative groups to get tax-exempt status. It could easily be done with computerized key-word searches, including overtly ideological searches for applicants seeking to “make America a better place to live” or “criticize how the country is being run”. Other key search words and phrases included “Tea Party” and “Patriots” .

Once started the culprits (who of course regarded themselves as the real patriots, the true-blue Americans) focused on groups “involved in limiting/expanding Government” and “educating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.”

So, let’s review what was going on…

Some hot shot (as yet unidentified, although in due course that’ll come out in the wash) decided conservative Americans were anathema and needed to be reined in. That person recruited his best IRS buddies (the ones believing conservatives to be menaces needing curtailment and chastisement for their wrong-headed views). And they merrily started using their access to sensitive information to thwart the entirely legal activities of people who were entirely within their constitutional rights, a sobering fact which seems to have had no influence upon the nimble perpetrators who used their jobs to sabotage.

Cui bono?

To whose benefit were these shenanigans? The report by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (released May 14, 2013) offered new, highly suggestive details.

Of the 296 applications for tax-exempt status reviewed by the inspector general, 108 were approved, 28 were withdrawn by the applicants (some perhaps because of excessive IRS requests for sensitive organizational details), and 160 were still open, some pending for up to 1,138 days. This necessitates a look at the dates and a worrying scenario.

A “sensitive case report” on Tea Party targeting was sent from Cincinnati to Lois Lerner, the head of the IRS’ division for tax-exempt organizations, and to another Washington official (as yet unnamed) on April 19, 2010. This suggests the illegal activities began far earlier than otherwise known, perhaps as early as mid-2009.

Now, add 1,138 days to, say, July 4, 2009 and you might easily draw  the conclusion that certain person or persons involved meant to hurt the conservatives (while helping their competitors) until well past the 2012 presidential election, thereby materially assisting in the re-election of the prime beneficiary, The Honorable Barrack Obama.

What would, of course, strengthen this case would be knowing which organizations were so thwarted… and whether theirs was a conservative slant. That, too, should come out in the wash. It’s sure to be a busy laundramat. Representative Dave Camp will see to that.

Criminal or merely inept, incompetent and “obnoxious”?

I’m guessing that Camp is going around his office whistling a happy tune. If so, it’s no wonder. In matters such as this, there are always (sometimes hidden) winners and losers. The president and a whole lot of senior IRS officials are taking it on the chin right now as they posture at their “grin-and- bear it” best. They are clear losers. Dave Camp, by contrast, must be in hog heaven.

Camp, you see, is chairman of one of the oldest and most powerful committees of the House of Representative, Ways and Means. An 11-term veteran, a handsome, toothy Michigander from Midland, his sprawling district meanders across fifteen counties of mid-  and northern Michigan, the very heart of the Great Republic. Camp is a popular figure back home, customarily winning in excess of 60 percent of the vote.

For good behavior and exemplary party loyalty, Camp was able to move up, join the GOP House leadership team and as Ways and Means chair deal with the crucial bread-and-butter issues that are so important to average Americans, tax policy, tariff and trade laws, Medicare, Social Security, welfare and unemployment programs.

Camp is the guy who’ll be presiding over House hearings on this matter… His task is plain: to grill every senior IRS official, then even more senior people in the Treasury Department.

Heads have, of course, already begun to fall on this matter, Camp will ensure there are others. President Obama moved fast to get rid of Steven Miller, acting IRS commissioner and a lesser administrator.

It is only the beginning.

The President’s objective is to get through this mess as quickly as possible. He wants us to believe the action was of short duration involving minimum people and that he can clear it all up, including apologizing to irate conservatives who are wailing here, there and everywhere, “See, we told you so.”

Chairman Camp hopes he won’t have to buy ex-commissioner Miller’s proposition that it all happened because the IRS was overwhelmed by new applications after the Supreme Court ruled in the 2010 Citizens United case which greatly expanded the ability of corporations, unions and other organizations to participate in election spending. Miller wants America to believe the IRS is a good guy, dim, muddled but well meaning, and that “Dude, it won’t happen again.

Of course Camp wants the opposite of all this; every subpoena he authorizes, every criminal charge made is a thrill for this man who probably went home May 17, 2013 (the first day of hearings) to find his wife and three kids holding crudely made “Camp for President” posters.

There is, however, one more secret loser in the proceedings… and that’s Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, Mitt Romney’s 2012 vice presidential selection. He, too, is on Ways and Means. He’s got the presidential bug and cannot afford to let Camp outmaneuver him. He’ll be working hard to ensure he doesn’t. Camp should check for trip wires and banana peels artfully positioned for maximum effect…

Meanwhile, GOP stalwarts of every kind are sending out unbelievable numbers of email, direct mail, and automated phone messages, every one alerting the good people of America, the conservative, God-fearing people to send in a few bucks… and so the stupid idea of a cell of left-leaning knuckleheads in Cincinnati is turned into the mother’s milk of politics, cash. Thus is one man’s scandal turned into another man’s success and this rapt commentator kept happily at his work.

Envoi.

Of all our recent presidents probably the first president George Bush ’41 understood nonprofit organizations best… for he genuinely believes in their necessary mission of improving the Great Republic. Thus it was no surprise to hear his encomium on these absolutely essential organizations of every kind.

It was written by crack speech writer Peggy Noonan and delivered in his acceptance speech for the 1988 Republican presidential nomination. It came to be called the “Thousand points of light” speech:

“I have spoken of a thousand points of light, of all the community organizations that are spread like stars throughout the Nation, doing good.”

For Bush this wasn’t just rhetoric. It was a core of his belief and he showed as much in 1990 when he spearheaded the creation of the Points of Light Foundation, the goal of which was to promote private, non-governmental, tax-exempt solutions to social issues.

Thus, for the music to accompany this article I have selected “Point of Light,”a tune written by Don Schlitz and Thom Schuyler. It was recorded by Randy Travis and is available in any search engine.

It isn’t a very good song; it doesn’t tug at your heart, though it should. Even so, it’s worth listening to: “All it takes is a point of light/A ray of hope in the darkest night/If you see what’s wrong and you try to make it right/You will be a point of light.” But, remember, if your application goes to the IRS in Cincinnati, you might have to wait a while…

One of the easiest, and potentially most lucrative, online business you can get in to is affiliate marketing. If you learn the tricks of the trade and are willing to invest some time to implement what you learn, you can leverage the automation and sheer volume of the internet to make virtually as much money as you want. To help you get started, I’ve compiled a brief overview of the basics. This is by no means the do all end all, but it is enough to get you started. Consider this your affiliate marketing in a nutshell.

The first thing you really have to remember, and I can’t stress this enough, is that even though affiliate marketing is not a difficult online business that doesn’t mean that you won’t need to learn some new skills…you will. It also doesn’t mean that you won’t have to invest any time in your business. One of the most common mistakes people make is that they don’t treat their business as a business. Instead they do a little work here and a little work there and then they wonder why they’re not rich after a month or two. Don’t fall into that trap. Work your business like a business with intensity and consistency and you can be very rich.

1. The first step is to understand that to become an affiliate you need to sign up with a company that offers an affiliate program. It’s free to sign up and you will receive a commission whenever someone buys a product on your website. Most companies will give you a replicated website that will be identical to all the other affiliate websites, the only difference will be your special code in the URL. That will identify you and whenever someone makes a purchase from your site you’ll get a commission.

2. Next you need to know a little bit about internet marketing or IM. This is the process where you drive traffic, visitors, to your website. There are many ways you can do this, some of them are even free. Generally the free methods will take a little longer, but since they are free you don’t have to worry about making any mistakes while you are learning how to do them (they are very easy, but you might still make small mistakes).

The paid methods for driving traffic will usually get traffic more quickly but only after you’ve mastered the techniques which can take quite a bit of time and since you have to pay while you are learning it will also take quite a bit of money. You will definitely have more money going out than coming in at the beginning when you use this method.

3. Convert as many of your visitors into paying customers as you can. There are many elements to this, everything from copywriting to SEO to using an autoresponder. Don’t worry if none of this makes sense, there are plenty of places online where you can learn these skills.

For right now though, you will want to use an autoresponder service. This is a fully automated system that will allow you to pre-program a series of emails. You can add as many emails as you want and you can choose how often they go out. When someone opts into your list (this just means they sign up and give you permission to send them emails) the whole emails series will be sent out automatically.

For example, let’s say that you have 10 emails loaded into your autoresponder and that you’ve got it set up to send out one email every day for 10 days. When someone signs up they will immediately receive the first email. Then every day they will receive another one until they’ve gotten all the way through the series.

When you write your emails make sure that you include valuable information. Don’t make your emails just one sales pitch after another. Instead help them by giving them information that they can use, related to your website topic of course.

I’ve barely scratched the surface with this affiliate marketing in a nutshell report. Just remember that affiliate marketing is easy, don’t let the jargon throw you off. It won’t take you any time to learn all you need to know to be making a lot of money. If you can read and write you can be a very successful affiliate marketer.

I want to get this started off on the right foot, so there are no confusions or hurt feelings.  I am a big fan of creativity.  I think it?s so?unique.  If you have that creative energy and use it, I tip my hat to you, for you make the world a better place to shuffle around in.  Disclaimer finished, let?s get going.

Did you go to college?  Did you major in advertising?  Hahaha, really!?  Did you party a lot?  I bet you did.  Did you enter school with the intention of majoring in advertising?  I bet you didn?t.  Oh you did?  I bet you partied a lot in high school.

My point here isn?t that advertising isn?t a serious career that only a select few people can do well, because I think it is.  But, that?s the problem, only a select few people can do it well.  With that said, advertising is one of the most majored in fields in universities and the general field of advertising has come to permeate nearly every facet of our daily lives.  This tells me that a lot of these graduates are getting hired to do what they studied.  Which is funny to me, because advertising seems to be a major that everyone can at least pass.  But, once they have the diploma they?re qualified.  Or are they?

I found an automated advertising slogan machine online.  It generates advertising slogans for whichever word you enter into the text box.  I have to say I think that it did a pretty good job.  But, can it do as good as actual studied experts in the field of advertising.  To compare I found a few slogans that were ranked as some of the best slogans fromthe “old” days

Take a look and see if you can tell which slogans an educated advertiser that makes an excellent living off his/her razor sharp wit conceived and which one was made by the automatic generator.

? Lipsmackin’ Thirstquenchin’ Acetastin’ Motivatin’ Goodbuzzin’ Cooltalkin’ Highwalkin’ Fastlivin’ Evergivin’ Coolfizzin’ Perpendicular. ? Reach out and touch someone

? I Wish I Were a Fuscia Weiner.

? Don’t be vague. Ask for Haig

? I Saw Strategy and I Thought of You.

? We try harder

? It’s Just For Me And My Range.

? You’ll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent

? Puts the Pickles in America

To be fair I want to reiterate that the actual corporate financed and okay?d slogans were chosen among a group recognized as the best of their respective years; whereas the auto-generated slogans were simply the first to pop out of the machine.    Again, I?m not bashing the profession or the professionals, but somehow I feel confident saying that a majority of the advertisers out there took on their most ambitious and creatively convincing efforts in their job interviews.

I don’t know who came up with the phrase, “Always Be Closing” but it’s brilliant. In sales circles it’s known more simply as ABC.

If you are in sales, this simple catchy phrase will help keep you on track to making sales.

Here’s some insight into sales and how to increase the number of sales YOU make.

Buyers like to get the sales person off track.

They like to ask questions, lots of questions.

They ask:

Does it come in blue?

What’s the guarantee?

Buyers like to stall, hedge, avoid.

They say:

I have to ask my wife.

I want to look around.

I think I can get a better deal somewhere else.

Buyers like to know that their business matters, that they are getting some personal attention to earn their business.

But sales people, know the ABC’s of sales – Always Be Closing.

Smart, successful sales people know that happy customers and good sales people go hand in hand.

They know that spending a little extra time with a serious buyer, or creating a personalized offer can be exactly what is needed to clinch a sale.

The buyer wants their questions answered so they can make the decision to buy. The smart salesperson wants to answer those questions and move the person ever closer to buying.

My colleague, Dr. Jeffrey Lant talks about the sales dance. He likens the sales process to a type of courtship.  The sales person approaches, the buyer is shy, aloof. The sales person comes closer, offers the right words, and assurances. The buyer plays hard to get but shows interest.  The sales person is more engaging, tries harder with a better offer, always moving toward the close.

ABC – Always be Closing means this:

Answering relevant questions, eliminating obstacles to the sale being made, helping with payment plans, reassuring the buyer, making special offers, sweetening the deal, whatever it takes to get the sale.

Closing the sale means finding out from the customer, what it will take to get them to buy NOW, not next week, or next month. The best sales people are listeners. They listen to what the buyer wants and they determine a way to get it for them so the sale is made, today.  You can HEAR someone who wants to buy, if you stop talking long enough to listen.

ABC means doing your job right so the customer gets a great deal and you make a great sale!

Most of us have been on the receiving end of a poor sales person,  and we also remember that warm happy feeling when you’ve made a purchase that you feel good about. We like to feel special, a good sales person can make that happen or alternatively with the wrong approach can make you walk away.

Happy customer’s who feel they got a good deal can be a repeat customer or a customer for life. Unhappy customers help you learn what you could perhaps be doing better. The right approach with an unhappy customer can convert them into a happy one! In fact, they may end up being your best customer because they see you actually cared and tried to make better a problem situation.

Got a sticky note? Write ABC on a sticky note, and post it on your computer.  It will help remind you when you are talking to a customer, or answering an email, or sending a quote, or posting an offer, remember to Always Be Closing.

Once you have mastered the basics of marketing on the internet and are seeing results, you need to move onto advanced internet marketing. Even if you aren?t ready to actually implement advanced marketing, knowing about it in advance can help you prepare for jumping into it when the time is right.

Why Worry About Advanced Internet Marketing?

Many people learn the basics of internet marketing and then stop. They figure they are doing well right where they are, so there is no reason to move forward. Why mess with a good thing?

There are plenty of reasons why you need to know as much about internet marketing as you can. You may be doing very well on your website right now, but you need to be constantly growing your marketing and adapting to the changing demands of your potential customers if you are going to stay ahead. This is where advanced internet marketing comes into the picture.

In regular marketing, the store across town is your competition. You may only have to worry about staying ahead of a few other businesses in your area. But online, stores all over the world are your competition. You potentially have to worry about hundreds of other businesses trying to steal away your customers. Since the world seems to be growing more impersonal, and customer loyalty is hard to come by anymore, this can represent a big problem to be overcome.

So What Do You Do?

The first thing you should do before focusing on advanced internet marketing is to give yourself a refresher course on any internet marketing strategies you already use. Use updated materials and sources to see if any new strategies have become available. This is a great start because you can put these to work for you without having to learn entire new methods.

Then turn to books, magazines on internet marketing, and well established websites that are recommended. See what is next in line for you to tackle in your marketing campaign.

There are plenty of options available, so you should be able to sift through them to find one that you are not only comfortable using, but is also relevant to your business. Certain advanced internet marketing methods work better for some businesses than others, so only you can decide which direction you wish to take your marketing efforts.

Don?t Rush, but Move Forward

You don?t have to go racing into new marketing right away if you are doing well at the moment. You can use the opportunity to just learn all you can about the methods you are going to implement next. But you do need to always be learning something and preparing for the next stage of your website and business. This keeps progress and growth from catching you off guard.

If your current internet marketing efforts are based around the same tried and true tactics that seem to be working well, consider adding video marketing or perhaps even social networking to your overall marketing.
