Hi {!firstname_fix}, as we start the new year
I thought it would be helpful to give you some
marketing tips. Some of these tips come directly
from my own experiences as a full-time online
marketer. Last year was my best year online yet
(what recession?) and I am hoping 2009 will be
just as good. These marketing tactics work for
me and they should also work for you.

Other tips come directly from Google and other
online marketers who I study and follow to improve
my own marketing. Perhaps my best advice would be
this: find the top online marketers and stick to
them like glue!


Here are some of my own marketing tips:


o Make Keywords Your #1 Goal


This is the single most important factor for
my own online success. You have to make keywords
and ranking high for them in all the search engines
your main objective if you're marketing online.
Might sound obvious, but many beginning marketers don't
truly understand how important getting top rankings
for your chosen keywords will be in your online
succsss.

Target less competitive long tail (multi-worded)
keywords to get started and slowly work your
way up to more popular keywords. Center your
marketing around getting those first page listings
(Top Five) for your keywords. Achieve this goal,
(especially in Google) and it will be almost
impossible for you not to succeed and make
a profit with your online marketing.


o Autoresponders, List Building & Online Relationships

Keeping in contact with potential buyers is mission
critical. You must use autoresponders to send follow-up
messages to build trustful relationships with your
potential customers. Establishing this personal contact
or trust is very important because the Internet is
still a cold and distrustful environment for most people.

So building a large contact list is essential. That's
why the social networks such as Twitter, Facebook,
MySpace can be very effective marketing tools for
building this online contact and trust. Truth be told,
all these social networks are, more or less, just
glorified autoresponders!



o Your Unique Selling Position

You must give potential customers some very good
reasons for them to buy from you or your links.
Offering special bonuses and discounts works
wonders for your sales. Some of my most successful
pages simply consists of coupons and discounts
offered by different companies. If buyers can
save $100's OFF by buying thru your links, they
will.

Always remember, besides looking for the best
deal or bargain, consumers are looking for a
quality product. If you're into affiliate marketing,
only pick top quality products to promote.
Consumers are also looking for INFORMATION on
the products they are considering buying, give
them helpful information and you will succeed.


o Find A Niche You Enjoy

There are millions of profitable niche markets
you can choose from - pick one that truly interests
you and run with it. Your favorite hobby or something
you enjoy doing in your spare-time. Picking a niche
market that you like is a key factor, you won't mind
spending your time exploring and exploiting it.
Just won't seem like work because you will be
having fun while you do your marketing.


o Go With The Flow

If you're marketing online, you have to follow what's
working for you. Most times you will try countless
ideas or tactics - once you have found a process or
system that works, really work it or scale it up.
Making your first dollar is the hardest, but once
you do something that earns you that dollar,
just repeat that "something" a thousand times.

Tracking what works is very important so keep a
close eye on your site's traffic logs to find where
your customers are coming from. Something like
Google Analytics is simply priceless for "fine-tuning"
your site and your online marketing. It will tell
you find what's working and what's not.


o Automate Everything

The real beauty of marketing online and using computers...
you can automate just about every process in your marketing
system. Make it a point of automating everything you do...
use autoresponders to follow-up with potential buyers, use
automatic check-outs, automatic reporting... just set-up your
whole online marketing system that runs itself with little
or no supervision from you. This will free up your time to
concentrate all your efforts on marketing or promoting your
site or product.

o Google's Adwords Top Tactics For Tough Times


I do some PPC but my monthly budget is only around
a couple of thousand so I am not a PPC expert. I just
use it to make extra sales and to bring in more traffic
to my sites. I use Google Adwords, Yahoo Marketing
and MSN Adcenter.

Now, if you're using Google Adwords, you probably
received a small booklet from Google entitled
"Google's Adwords Top Tactics For Tough Times."
In it Google lays out 6 Adwords Tactics for tough times...
but some of these tactics can be used for your
general marketing online.


These tactics include: (quoting directly from the
mail-out)

1. Focus your ads on low prices and savings.

2. Use Value-related keywords.

3. Ensure your ad groups are targeted and relevant.

4. Don't waste money on irrelevant clicks.

5. Make it easy for customers to buy.

6. Focus your money on your high-performers.
