Internet Marketing has been a buzzword for over a decade now,
a short time by ordinary measure. And yet in terms of Internet
reckoning, this is a very long time. Whatever, we always go
back to the origin of the word marketing.
Marketing, as we know it, primarily concentrates on consumers.
As Internet marketer, your responsibility is to determine
your consumers` - or potential customers` - needs and desires.
You then develop strategies - both online and offline - about
your product`s important features, persuade your potential
customers to purchase your product, and make sure your customers
are satisfied with their purchase.
In the olden times marketers stopped with the sale of products
and services. Today, successful marketers make it their strategy
to sell to existing customers more than finding new buyers.
Why? Because it is more profitable to sell to existing consumers
than to new ones!
Why do I belabor this definition? Because in essence, that
is what marketing is all about. If you understand the above
definition, and I have highlighted the important keywords,
your duties as Internet marketer is placed in correct perspective.
With this at the back of your mind, there is no doubt you
will become a profitable entrepreneur.
With marketing as defined above, you now understand why almost
all the successful Internet marketers today flood your server
with opt-in emails. Or fire you up with their newsletters`
latest edition. Because they consider you as within their
loop of customer base (even if you have not bought from them
before; your only participation to their business is to sign
up for their newsletters` subscription forms).
Be that as it may, we now go back to the definition of marketing
given above and list down the important keywords. Internet
marketers tweak the keywords inside and out. Million of pages
have been launched on the Internet out these keywords.
The shady marketers target all and sundry potential customers,
prying on the innocents specifically. They offer all kinds
of products and programs, rather than educating the unsuspecting
readers. If you were one of those who is a beginning Internet
surfer to scout for an online business, in all probability
you have been victimized by these shady characters. Beware
therefore.
