For those new to building businesses online or taking a traditional business to online, internet marketing is equivalent to a mythical beast of elusive nature. Building a website alone is complicated enough even with a web designer working on it, but now internet marketing? Search engine optimization? Social media marketing? Videos? Podcasting? Wait, will the list ever end?
Such as the perplexing questions one will have in her mind if she is not familiar with internet marketing at all. It gets worse when so-called gurus try to bombard with pitches on their services which deliver the world only at cost of $998.238 to make sure you generate $1234.5678 in net revenue a week from your website. With things like this, internet marketing can’t be legit, right?
Fortunately internet marketing is a real deal. A bona fide set of methods which you can use together with traditional marketing strategies to maximize your revenue and deliver cost-effective messages to widest audience possible. But if you are completely baffled about all internet marketing mumbo-jumbo, then you will need to know what internet marketing services you should pursue. Without knowing what will fit your needs and your target market, you will just be wasting your money.
“Know Thy Market, First”
Internet marketing is just like any regular marketing, it deals with people – individuals who have problems and want to solve those by buying your products and services. It only uses Internet to deliver your marketing messages and information to people in your target market plus more. Nothing magical or confusing here.
If you have decided to engage in internet marketing services, you absolutely must know about your customers. You have to know where they go, what they like, what their demographics and sociographics profiles are, which websites they usually go, what social networks they are, what time they are mostly active online, where they are looking for your products, what influence their decisions and… well, you get the picture.
Without knowing your customers, you cannot target and direct any of your marketing efforts, be it traditional or online, to be efficient and effective.
Now that it is clear you need to know about your market first, let’s get down to details about internet marketing services.
“Search Engine Optimization”
Search Engine Optimization (“SEO”) is a process to push your website to be in top 10 spots of first page in search engines when people search for related terms to your business. 90% of internet users use search engines to find information they want. And most of them pay attention only to top 10 results. If your website is in there, you are guaranteed to gain a lot of visitors. This kind of ranking is something you cannot buy. It is a process which an internet marketing professional can help you with.
“Email Marketing”
No, not those spam mails we all hate. There are truly legitimate ways to use email as a marketing tool without being annoying or sending spams. Internet marketing professionals can help you build a list of email newsletter subscribers who are willingly giving their contacts to you to send them emails, and also help you to run regular email newsletter to keep your subscribers updated about whatever information you want them to know. It is similar to warm-approach in traditional marketing.
“Videos Distribution”
Very high percentage of today’s internet usage is in videos. YouTube, Vimeo and alike are very popular for several reasons. It is undeniable that people tend to pay more attention to video contents than texts. Online marketing experts can help you create suitable videos for your business and rank them in search engines, along with distributing those using social networks to attract maximum eyeballs. And speaking of which…
“Social Networks”
Basically social networks are where people hang out online to talk about their interests, daily happenings, post photos they shot or like, share information, news and gossips and generally doing social activities. We all have one. It is pretty certain you know what Facebook is.
Marketers can tap into these social networks to actually increase brand awareness, brand exposure and increase revenues. You need to find if your target market is suitable for which social networking platform. Chances are, you will find them on one or another. Online marketers can help you build campaigns to reach out to them with suitable messages without trying to sell too much.
