Internet Marketing is Changing Right Before Your Eyes!


Internet Marketing is Changing Right Before Your Eyes!

 by: Ken Nadreau

There's no doubt about it . . .

Big changes are in the air!

In the midst of all the usual scams and rip offs, there's a New Wave of Marketing techniques that are beginning to immerge that will forever alter what you do, or will take you out of the game.

The choice is yours!

You see, what most marketers have been spending their time on might be called "peer marketing", that is selling to their fellow marketers. Hundreds and hundreds of programs and ebooks have been written designed to draw in affiliates to do the bidding and "leg work" for those producing them.

So now we have tons of "how to's" and just as many affiliate programs that have, over time, gotten real old.

Then, on top of all that, you have thousands of traffic exchanges and paid to read email advertising sites to make us think that we're actually marketing to someone.

But in reality, all we're really doing is perpetuating this "peer marketing" phenomenon that's frankly spinning our wheels and getting us nowhere.

We all know it's not working. We all know that, in spite of all the hype and hoopla, 95% of all online businesses are still failing miserably.

Let's face it, Internet Marketing is in a rut that's got us all running around in circles!

But all is not lost!

Lately, new tools and methods to infuse new life into online marketing have been hitting the scene . . .

Things like Niche Marketing are beginning to draw many away from "peer marketing", and teaching them to spend their time finding out what other people want and connecting them to those products.

What's being discovered, actually, is that the average online marketer, who's been bogged down with trying to sell useless information to their peers, is generally well conditioned to slip right into Niche Marketing.

You see, there are tons of marketable, every day products available on the web, and there are just as many marketers who've learned, due to immense competition,to be extremely convincing.

Putting the two together is creating a remarkable edge over the product producers who, most often, have minimal skills in advertising.

Most of these products, easily accessible through reseller programs, can be marketed alone or in combination with other product via quickly set up websites.

And, because there's no production costs, in either time or money, most advertising campaigns can be generated in a very short period of time.

So you might say, Internet Marketing is finally evolving in a much more constructive direction!

Yes, online sales people from all over the world are now learning how to do what a sales person is supposed to be doing . . .

Finding people who are really looking for what they sell, and selling it to them!

Do you hear someone knocking?

Oh . . . It's Opportunity!

Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower Mirror

Adagio Marketing ShowerTek WV2 The Original Fog Free Shower Mirror
The hassle free solution for shaving and removing make-up in the shower! Dermatologists suggest that shaving or removing makeup in the shower helps reduce skin irritation. This mirror won't fog no matter how hot and steamy your shower gets. This mirror's patented design keeps the entire viewing surface fog free. A small trickle of water diverted from the shower plumbing is sprayed on the back of the mirror. The heat from the water warms the mirror which prevents ALL fog from forming on the front surface. This small trickle of shower water then flows from the back of the mirror onto the shower floor. Crystal clear view guaranteed! This mirror fits all standard plumbing - it is easily screwed into place between your shower plumbing and existing showerhead. It takes just minutes to install and there is no maintenance required to keep the mirror 100% fog free for the life of the product.

Customer Review: Fog free but Leaky Leaky Leaky

Both of the valves on mine leaked severely right out of the box, and the way it's mounted they shoot water between the curtain and wall out onto the bathroom floor. Also if you touch the valves while water is flowing the valves tend to pop out, causing water to gush everywhere. I contacted showertek about this by email and two weeks later I have not gotten a response.



So for now I've wrapped a sock around it to keep the water from shooting out onto the bathroom floor, and I'm looking to epoxy the valves in place. The valves are useless anyway.



The problem seems to be that this is patented so no other manufacturer can produce a robust implementation. It does work well though as a fog free mirror, which is why I'm going to all this trouble.

Customer Review: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MACS!!

This product is NOT compatible with ANY Mac which is why I am unsatisfied with it. I literally went to the Apple Store WITH my computer and we were not able to get it to work. We then tried it on at least FOUR OR FIVE OTHER MODELS OF MAC (iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Book, etc) and still had ZERO SUCCESS.



It is plain FALSE ADVERTISING to say that this product is Mac compatible because it isn't, plain and simple. If I try to return it to Logitech they will charge for the shipping and handling and I will LOSE MONEY for sending it back it and I've searched for a very long time for an adaptor but I've been unsuccessful.



You're probably better off buying the USB version of this product since USB works with just about anything.

Customer Review: Works Wonderfully!

Shipped the same day and worked right out of the box. I see no drawbacks. You can talk from a decent distance and the quality is good. Looks cool too! Go for it!

How to Do Effective Email Marketing


Recently, there has been a lot written about email and its (impending) death. From what you read on forum boards and in newsletters from well-known internet marketers, email marketing is dead. Too many ISPs are taking it upon themselves to limit the number of emails you can send at one time, or are blocking your emails from even getting to your subscriberss inboxes.

As a way around this, many marketers are telling you to get a blog and an RSS feed. This makes good sense, and there is some indication that RSS and related technology will become more popular in the near future, but before you invest in an ebook or multimedia course from a marketer, ask yourself if that marketer has a vested interest in moving you over to an RSS system (i.e., they conveniently sell an RSS starter kit, or affiliate for someone who does).

On the contrary, though, email marketing is not dead. Recently, on a membership-only forum, discussion centred on how Getresponse and Aweber have improved their open and deliverability rates for emails, even as high as 85% for deliverability. One contributor, who owns an autoresponder company, noted that many tricks marketers use to get their messages past spam filters (such as using "f^ree" for "free") are actually backfiring and triggering spam filters, resulting in emails being blocked. Instead, marketers should focus on trick-free, valuable content in their emails.

Apparently, email marketing works much the same way as search engine marketing (and, really, all good marketing) does: in the long run, you are rewarded for building (and sending out) trick-free, useful, and informative content.

So how should you build your business? With one quality blog post or article at a time. And how should you market with email? With one quality email message at a time.

Unlimited Selling Power: How to Master Hypnotic Selling Skills
Customer Review: Some useful information and a lot of filler...

I was impressed with this book for about the first 160 pages of it.



Its basic stuff about how to use hypnotic language to establish more rapport with your prospects. Just because it is basic information doesn't mean it isn't useful.



The last 100 pages of the book is a long pitch for the authors' script-writing and training services - perhaps this will be of interest to readers in corporate sales management, but I found it to be irrelevant.



The chapters on how to use language to increase trust are good. The example conversations are clear too.



Around page 160 the book turns to sales scripts. Ostensibly these chapters are to provide us with information about writing sales scripts... but they really just seem to be saying - "please consider hiring our firm to write your script book for you,"



I would have appreciated more "how to do it yourself" MEAT than all the "its too hard to do it yourself" rhetoric and filler at the end.



Still, the first half is interesting and I'll be rereading it a few times at least.

Donald Moine, a columnist I came across on Morningstar and have since befriended, is a master at the art of language. This truly fantastic book is a must-read for anyone interested in the competitive edge.

Relationship Marketing -- Key For Small Local Business

Someone wrote me recently and said "I don't think every small business has the need nor inclination to send regular follow up emails."

The "no inclination" part I can believe, but no need? Not unless you have all the business you can handle. Otherwise you need to collect (opt-in) email addresses at every opportunity, and use them to establish and build relationships with your prospects and customers.

The key word in that sentence? Relationships. If you want to promote your local business effectively online, relationship marketing is key.

WHAT IS RELATIONSHIP MARKETING?

Relationship marketing is the act of building close relationships with existing customers and prospects. It's about having an ongoing dialogue with them over a period of time. It can also include gathering customer information and analyzing their behavior, but don't let that scare you. You can practice relationship marketing on a small scale and get plenty of benefits without implementing a full- blown system.

You may not have the financial resources of Office Depot or WalMart, but as a small business owner, you can do something they can't -- have real person-to-person relationships with your customers.

There are 2 critical components to making this strategy work: a relationship-oriented website and the consistent use of email to stay in touch.

RELATIONSHIP-ORIENTED WEBSITE

The relationship marketing process starts when a visitor arrives on your website. If you want the relationship to progress beyond "hello", make sure it's a wonderful experience. Invite her in, introduce yourself, and offer refreshments in the form of free information or something equally enticing.

At this point you should ask for her email address so you can send more valuble information in the future. This is crucial to your success - you must obtain the email address on the first visit. You may not get a second chance.

Once you have the email address, point your visitor toward helpful resources. A restaurant could offer recipes or discount coupons. A plumbing business might offer tips for avoiding costly repairs. A small business site could offer a collection of articles. Whatever the business, there's some sort of information or gift customers would find useful. Give valuable information freely and don't worry about giving too much away. Give before you get, that's the way of the web.

Ideally you'd have the ability to collect information about individual customers, but not all small businesses can afford the technology needed to track individual preferences and provide different experiences based upon them. If you can't, don't worry about it. But do try to collect first name at a minimum so you can personalize emails.

What else characterizes a relationship-oriented website?

- FAQs: Make it easy for people to find the information they need by providing online help files. Make a note of questions you're asked repeatedly and compile them into a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions).

- TWO-WAY DIALOGUE: Make it easy for customers to contact you and encourage them to do so; what you want is a two- way dialogue between you and your customer. When in doubt, ask them what they want. They'll tell you. If you find out what your customer wants and become a friend, you will beat most of the competition hands down. And be human - life is in the details.

- TIMELY RESPONSE: When your customer does "raise her hand", reward her with a quick response! There's nothing more de-motivating than an unanswered email to someone who claims to want my business. More than once I've purchased a product and written a followup email, only to have it go unanswered. Guess who won't get another dime of my money?

- FREQUENT UPDATES: If you want people to visit frequently, you must give them a reason -- new content, a fresh look every how and then, information updates. A website is never finished.

- MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: If you're selling something, you should offer an ironclad "no questions asked" money-back guarantee! Then honor it. Sure, there are jerks out there who will try to rip you off. Consider it a cost of doing business online.

- FREE OFFER: And of course the most important thing on the first page and every page is your subscription box with offer of a FREE report or other incentive your customers would value.

Above all, show your customers that you're in it for the long haul, not the quick score. No flashing banners screaming "Buy Me!". No pressure to hurry up and buy before midnight. Set yourself apart from your competition. Slow and steady wins the race...and builds relationships.

CONSISTENT USE OF EMAIL

If you are emailing your local customers, sending them offers, coupons, and useful information about your business, you are more likely to get their business than some stranger out in cyberspace. And if you're sending out a newsletter, you'll be light years ahead of all of your competition, local or not!

Maybe the idea of having to write a newsletter is the stumbling block. If so, don't call it an ezine and don't lock yourself into a schedule. But just as you use snail mail, newspaper ads, radio or tv ads to keep your name in front of your customers, you should use email to do the same thing. And it's a lot cheaper than any other form of advertising, so why on earth wouldn't you?

Here are a few ways to use email to create "brand" awareness within your local community.

- KEEP IN TOUCH: Email your customers and prospects on a regular basis, at least twice a month. Any less than that and they may forget you. Don't contact them just to sell them something. Send them useful information, related articles, notice of new content on your website, product announcements, etc. Your goal is to keep in touch so that if they or someone they know needs your product or service, you'll be the one they call.

- SUPPORT: When customers purchase a product or service, use email to help them get the most out of it. For a book or publication, it could be an email "walkthru" series highlighting important topics, or telling them what they would learn if they'd only read it!

- JOINT VENTURES: If at all possible, you should do joint ventures with neighboring businesses. Band together with several other (non-competing) businesses and form a coupon exchange. Every week or two, each of you send the same email to your customer list, with email coupons for each business, or a link to a web page with the coupons.

- TIMELY RESPONSE: When your customer does "raise her hand", reward her with a quick response! There's nothing more de-motivating than an unanswered email to someone who claims to want my business. More than once I've purchased a product and written a followup email, only to have it go unanswered. Guess who won't get another dime of my money?

I know all of this sounds like an awful lot of work, and I won't lie to you...relationship marketing is timeconsuming and can be hard work. If it were easy, everybody would be doing it.

Building a website that focuses on the customer takes more thought than slapping up an ego site (all about you). Maintaining a mailing list can be a real pain. Unsubscribing people who can't seem to read. Potential spam complaints. Answering subscriber questions. Responding to feedback or inquuiries.

It's so much easier to forget the whole thing, which is what most people do. On the internet, if you want to rise above the clutter, you must do something to distinguish yourself from the masses. You must be willing to do what others are not willing to do. For a small business, that means relationship marketing. ========================================= Sharon Fling is the author of "How To Promote Your Local Business On the Internet", and publisher of "Local Business Today", an ezine that gives business owners tips, tools and resources for targeting local customers.

Shaolin Drunken Monk

Shaolin Drunken Monk
Customer Review: only for HARDCORE kung fu fans

The plot doesn't make very much sense in this movie, but then again it doesn't try to. With that being said, I will go ahead and give you the reasons you should watch this and then the reasons why not.



Reasons why-great iron whip vs. gordon fight, great fight with gordon and guy with iron with without his whip, final fight scene.



This is not a great movie my ANY means, but the jungfu is fun to watch and the commentary means you will watch it at least twice.

Customer Review: Classic Kung Fu

If your a kung fu movie collector, this is a must have. There are many Drunken Monk kung fu movies, but this is the best.

Super Size Me

Super Size Me
In Super Size Me filmmaker Morgan Spurlock unravels the American obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nation-wide and by subjecting himself to a "McDonalds Only" diet for thirty days straight. His Sundance award-winning feature is as entertaining as it is horrifying-diving into corporate responsibility nutritional education school lunch programs and how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death.System Requirements: Running Time 100 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE

Customer Review: Good for nutrition education..

I am a nutritionist and dietitian. I used this DVD in my nutrition education class. The participants were very impressed by the movie. It saved me a lot of time for the preparation.

Customer Review: America, and soon the world is on the down-ward-slope

Some people don't know that fast food is not good for you, and some do. Other people just don't know how unhealthy fast food is. This documentary shocks people not only in what he is doing but FACTS that are going on in the US.



Some rules that were set that they set in the start of the movie:



1. He MUST eat everything that he orders. (even the condiments and toppings that are added)

2. He MUST Supper Size if they ask

3. He will eat McD's for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

4. He will have to walk what the average American walks in a day. (1 mile or less a day)

5. Lastly he can't exercise (the average American doesn't exercise).



In the start he is at the peak condition for his age range. He asks three doctors what they can expect through the duration of this experiment. Pay very close attention to what they will say, also pay very close attention to what they say through out the experiment.



Yea, many Americans don't eat fast food for all three meals, also he is not trying to bring down McD's. He doesn't even show an answer for what to do at the end. The purpose of the film is to raise attention about the epidemic of nutrition deficiency, and for you to make up your own answers using your best judgment.
