How to get off the wheel of internet marketing

So many websites on the internet offer “freebies”. Free downloads, free gift offers, even free vacations.
When you sign up for something free, there is (almost) always a trade off.
Here’s a list of some of these freebies, and their reason for being free.
We’ve all sampled free food at grocery stores with little to no “catch”. But on the internet, or at trade shows, there is usually something they want in return.
Many places will want you to sign up for a free sample and most of the time, they will indeed send you something free. But along with that free certificate or voucher comes a catch: your information gets sold to third parties who will send you offers that you may, or may not want.
Steer clear…if you really want a quote, you would do better to call several of the major insurance claim companies, unless you want insurance agents from EVERYWHERE calling you day and night.
We all know about this, but what most of you don’t know is that many free email accounts have a clause in their “Privacy” (hmmph!) policy, that says they can show your emails to anyone they choose. It’s usually marketers who don’t know you personally and use your information for market research purposes. Harmless, probably unless you just happen to be one of those people who think that your personal emails should be… well,…personal
This can be good or it can be a nightmare. Most people who send you free information are hoping to keep you “in their loop “ so that you will return to their website and think about buying their product. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will ever visit their website every again, once you get that free download; but they hope you will.
Well, that’s the innocent side. But the very, very invasive side to free information are the people who shamelessly sell your email address to third party vendors who flood your email with unsolicited offers.
It is illegal for anyone to sell your information without your permission, unless they specifically state in their “terms of service” or “privacy policy” that they may do just that. So read the fine print.
Do you have any crazy stories about not really free samples? Would love to hear your story or comments
Actually, quite a few people know about internet marketing, and even have quite a lot of knowledge about quite a lot of marketing techniques.
Well, actually, some people are, but it doesn’t seem like most internet marketers are making a lot of money.
Are you? It could be that you don’t have a plan.

Are you tired of spinning your wheels with internet marketing?
Do you find yourself jumping from one project to the next, with no game plan or purpose?
How long has it been since you made the kind of money you know that you deserve?
These questions should help you know one crucial thing:
DO YOU HAVE A MARKETING PLAN?
When you have a marketing plan, you have a road map that you are sure will get you to where you are going.
But most marketers have no idea whatsoever if they are even on the right track!
Aren’t you tired of throwing new marketing gimmicks at the wall? If few of your tactics are working, it’s time for a real plan.
You’ll find it here.
Maybe you love pickled herring for a snack each night. That doesn’t mean everyone else does. Choose a product that has enough potential customers for you to make a profit.
Just because you drive a harley and like quilting doesn’t mean tha you are the typical consumer. Find out where your average prospect hangs out and meet them there.
Shakespeare was wrong. A good name is everything! Make sure that your company name is relevant, meaningful, and memorable.
If you want to sell books online, you most likely will be eaten alive by Amazon. Make sure the market is not saturated. Once you pick the right market, find out what your competitors are up to. Price your product accordingly.
All of the internet runs on information. Your customers go online to find information about what you are selling, not just to find out where to buy it. The more informative you can be, the better. So write some good articles and post them on your website.
If you can afford it, get one of your competitors to post an article of yours on their website, with a link back to yours (I cover other promotional strategies in my internet marketing program).
