This article is the first of a series that I’m calling the A to Z of Internet marketing. I think you’ll find this series informative and entertaining. In this first article, I’m starting with an obvious entry for the letter A…advertising. Quite frankly, it is one of the most important aspects of marketing your business. If anything, most people consider the very term “marketing” to mean advertising. However, I’m going to tackle this from a slightly different angle than most articles on the subject. Let me explain.

We all know that there are many ways to reach our prospects online. We can pay for advertising via pay per click, ad buys, solo ads and so on. We can use free advertising methods such as article marketing, forum participation and other forms of networking. Yeah, we all got that much down. In a nutshell, advertising is finding some way to get YOUR words in front of a prospect so that they will buy your product or service. However, what many marketers don’t think about, especially those just starting out, is finding the places where you don’t have to work so hard to convert a person from prospect to buyer.

See, there are people out there, believe it or not, who are dying for your product. In fact, they are so dying for it that they’ll almost beg you to send them a buy now link…sight unseen. They don’t need a sales page or any convincing. They know that what you have is what they want. Just give it to them. Now, wouldn’t it be nice if we knew were to go to find these people. Well, we don’t…at least not without a lot of research first. However, once we’ve done that research and narrow in on a group of people, whether they’re hanging out at a forum or discussion group, who fit that description, all we have to do from that point on is just let them know that your new product is out.

I actually have narrowed in on such a market for one of my product lines and every month all I have to do is create the product, let the people on my list know that it’s out, and I immediately make 50 to 100 sales within minutes, without even reaching out to the general public. My resource that I’ve tapped into knows what they want and can’t wait to get it.

Point is, while advertising is important, what’s more important is finding a market that is so hungry for what you want that you don’t have to beat your brains in writing ads that are designed to try to convince people that they need your product. Once you’ve found that market, a simple email providing them with the details of the product is all you need.

It makes Internet advertising a lot easier.

To YOUR Success,
