Do you know where your customers have their point of pain? If you don’t, then you are missing a great opportunity to target your products to address those pains and make great sales gains. Pay attention to the feedback you get from people when they are on your website. The complaints are just as important as the praises they leave. If you don’t have an area for feedback, then you are missing a good way to improve your business and increase your bottom line. So, offer a way for customers to provide feedback, once they become members or register with your site.

The Complaints Are Opportunities

If you hear someone complaining of a headache and you offer them an aspirin or aspirin substitute, what do you think they will do? They are in pain and the longer they don’t address that pain, the more they will continue to suffer. So, most people will take the pill and take you up on your offer as quickly as possible, with immense gratitude, no less. So, what’s the difference between that and the type of pain your customers have when they are looking to solutions to their problems? Nothing! If you can find a way to address a complaint about something that irritates or makes them suffer, you have a brand new area to sell them on too.

Expand Your Inventory For Healing

Even if you don’t have the right product or service to eliminate their pain, you do have a network of people from affiliate partners to wholesalers that can help you locate that special product that is going to specifically address an are of pain your customers have expressed in their feedback. Can you just imagine how delighted they will be when you email market that solution and offer it them? They will not only be happy that someone took the time to listen to their pain, but also took the trouble to help them heal it too.

The real opportunities can come if there is no competing product out there that addresses a specific pain that you’ve pinpointed in your customer base. In that instance, you will want to take the time to develop a product, after researching exactly how widespread the pain may be in the general population. Then, you will be like a pharmaceutical company that has developed a miracle drug that treats an annoying and difficult problem that no one else has been able to manufacture or deliver before. You will corner the market.

Keep It In The Family

While it’s great to solicit feedback, it shouldn’t be an open-ended function of your website. You want to address your customers’ pains, not the entire worlds. So, keep it in the family. Solicit feedback from paying customers or members of a membership site that you own. Unlike a corporation that can put out an anonymous suggestion box on their website, the same action will only yield plenty of obnoxious comments, and other marketers hocking their wares on your site! So, while the goal is to be helpful and address pain points that can help you expand your business, it doesn’t mean you have to take on the entire world’s pains or allow interlopers to take advantage of your kindness.

Communication. Networking. Time. What do these three words have in common? Business. Internet businesses are a dime a dozen. Type in a word, any word and you will find at least a hundred thousand sites claiming they represent that word. Your website has had a successful launch because of all the planning and strategizing. You are beginning to build a good reputation with the clients you have already made, and your appearance is spectacular. Now how do you get pass the new hurdles that are bound to pop up? Try internet marketing conferences. WHO WHAT WAS THAT? Yes that is what I said, Internet Marketing Conferences.

There are three ways to do this. The first of which is a proven long time success in all types of business. Go to a conference being advertised by a local radio station or newspaper. This kind of conference offers a personal approach to networking. A firm handshake from a new business associate still says a lot about a person. Another thing a conference offers is a guest speaker. That person should have already been where you are and made his site a success. He or she will have great advice and tips for marketing your site. He may even have some you haven’t tried yet.

Another thing a conference has to offer is contacts. Not all the people at the conference will be newbies. Just like not all of them will offer the same products and services as you. So what do these contacts have for you? They have experience, advice, and the possibility of being a new client. I have a rule that I always adhere to, it’s this: You never know what you are going to learn from every person you meet. I don’t know who coined the phrase but it has brought great wisdom to my life. The key to gaining all you can from a conference is to listen and observe.

The second way to go to an Internet Marketing Conference is online. This is a less personal approach to the conference. Still, it is good to remember appearance is everything. This means the way you conduct yourself online or on a bridged call is just as important as it is in person. It also means the appearance of your website is just as important. This is your wardrobe. You will still make the contacts and receive the advice however listening is even more important here, because that is all you have to present yourself and your company.

The last way is to host an Internet Marketing Conference yourself. You will need to use the same basic strategies that made your launch success. Why is this one so important? When you host a successful conference it shows that you are a person who is able to get things accomplished. Your follow through is great and you have backed up what you said. You have now built a reputation with other business associates. These can lead to future clients either through word of mouth or the people that attended your conference.. This can also lead to more positive feed back on your blog/guest book. Careful though this can also backfire. What if the conference is not as successful as you expected? Do not look at it that way. EVERY contact you made is a possible new client or business associate that can send people your way..

The internet marketing conference will take everything you have learned about the internet and combine it together in a file. You will know what an SEO if for. You will understand the underlying jokes about keywords and search engines. You will be able to share ideas on where to advertise. Finally your story will come together.

You have come up with a marketing idea and done all the research. You have planned the design and hired an SEO to develop your site. Now you are ready to launch. How do you create a buzz around your site? Here are a few tips that will help make the launch of your site a success. While in the planning stages make sure the SEO gets the placement of the site within the first couple pages of a search. A good SEO will know how to do this.

When you are preparing to launch make sure you have the following ready to go immediately. Prepare emails to send out to every possible person who might find the site interesting. Send out fliers about the launch. Snail mail is still a cheap and innovative way to advertise.

Now that you have launched and sent out ads and emails, host a forum or live blog so that you can begin communicating with potential clients. This will also provide you with possible affiliates that can assist in the marketing of your site.

Last but not least find other websites you can place adds on. Make sure the ad contains a direct link to your website. Also when you are placing your own ads with another company make sure you adhere to the guidelines set forth by the company.

Now that the site has been visited what is it that you need to do next? You need to keep communicating with the public. Visit other forums and blogs where you can have an open conversation about your business. Remember that word of mouth is a major part of advertising. Another form of communication is business cards. Where do you pass those out? Everywhere!!! In every town across America there are different community activities you can participate in. Get a booth at a trade show where you can network with potential clients. Pass out business cards, fliers, free samples or pens with your website on it . Contact a local printing company and have them create magnets with your company logo, website and a quick overview of what you have to offer. You want to continue the buzz about your website.

Most people are looking for repeat business. You will want to make sure you can back up what you are offering. This is another reason to blog. You can even set up a blog and label it as a guess book. Encourage people to “sign” in and leave a comment about your services. The more positive remarks you have on the site the more repeat business you will have and the more new clients you will have. Internet business is huge, but it takes work to stand out above the rest. The cycle may ease up but it is never ending. Always look at different ways to make business connections.

There are several books out there about marketing your website. Go to your favorite bookstore and buy a couple you feel comfortable reading. Compare the information and use what works best for you. In the long run it is going to depend how much work you put into getting and keeping the word out there about what you have to offer.

The creative edge in internet marketing today is in the writing. Think about this for a minute. Every website contains three key Ingredients. They are; visual style, products and services and written articles about the site. Those written articles can be in the form of a blog, a front page about the company or even advice about other websites. The bottom line is the more information you provide about your site the more hits you are likely to receive.

There are as many different reasons for surfing the net as there are people in the world. Sure there are related topic searches, but what is the most important thing all the great sites have in common? A single word sums it all up, content.

When you are developing a website you need to think about what you want to say. Look at it like a short story. The character represents the products and services, the visual layout represents the background and the plot is the set of articles that describes the company. Finally the wrap of the story is represented by the purchase. If your story isn’t written in a clear and entertaining manner the reader will not want to turn the page.
So how do you make sure your website has good content? There is an old saying in the writing community, write what you know. This means take an idea you have and turn it into something great. Sounds easier said than done, doesn’t it? What is required from you? It requires an unfailing belief in what you have to offer. If the content of the story you are presenting isn’t believable the site will fail.

So now that you have an idea what do you need to do next? Learn everything there is to know about it. You need to be able to answer questions and back up what you are offering. This also means knowing what you are capable of doing. In essence your website is a resume of your company. Let’s say your site is a forum for new writers to come and find out information about publishing companies. How would you make money off this? Simple set up the site as a members only site. The members pay a one time fee and they have access to the best information out there. What happens if the information is wrong? YOU WILL LOSE BUSINESS. The moral to the story is to know what you have to offer and make sure it is the best information out there.

Another marketing edge is email. We have all seen the junk mail part of the inbox fill up. What will set yours apart from the rest? The writing content in the email itself. When you are writing an email that is going to go out to every person that has searched a particular keyword, you want to make sure the email sound direct and honest. Most people today are not dazzled by phrases like, “Make ten thousand dollars in a single day.” This usually implies a scam of some sort. Instead word it like you would a proposal that is either going to make or break your company. Remember you are selling not only your site in the email, you are selling yourself.

In a world where anyone can be reached with just the touch of a button or the click of a mouse, it is important to understand the tools of the trade. Am I talking about programming or logics and design? No. I’m talking about selling. How to entice a client to trust your products and services above all the rest. Think of it this way, pretend you’re a door to door salesman. What is the first thing someone will notice about you when they answer the door? What is the first thing you notice about them? It will always be your appearance. How you look and present yourself is the first step in getting in the door so to speak. This is the same basic concept for internet marketing. Your website is your wardrobe. It is the first thing a potential client sees and it sets the tone of the connection.

Once you have set the right tone and have the client’s attention, now you have your pitch. Ask yourself if this is the right demographic for your product. For example you wouldn’t sell a bikini to an 60 year old grandmother who is a homebody, would you? No, you would sell them a nice summer blouse and a comfortable pair of pants or skirt. In other words make sure the product or services suits the clients needs. Why, you ask. Remember a sell is not just a sell, it is the possibility of word of mouth. Let’s say you’re service is a financial planning service geared towards retirement. Your demographic is ages 25 to 40, male and female with the potential for earning no less than fifty thousand a year. Now let’s say you are contacted by a 63 year old male who is looking to retire early. He has been living pay check to pay check his entire life. What do you do? At this point you have 2 choices, first is of course is make the sale. Your product doesn’t fit into his budget but you have dazzled him with all the information and he is ready to sign. Later he realizes not only is he unable to afford your service but he is locked into a contract he can’t get out of. The second option you have is to redirect him to a business associate who owns a site dedicated to his demographic. The second option allows you to create two business connects through word of mouth. The associate you sent the client to will send business your way and the client will let others know you are a person of integrity. Let me repeat that so that the point is clear, a person of integrity. That is a difficult thing to find in today’s market where fast is thought to be the best and overnight success is thought to be the only way.

Now that you have a good appearance and a good reputation, you need a follow up. This requires research. Without a doubt, what is new today is old tomorrow. Does this mean to change your proven products and services? No, it means keep up with the new that follows under your field. If you are offering a service that requires programming, you aren’t just going to use DOS, are you? No, you will either learn all the latest languages or hire someone who does.

What it boils down to is this, today’s society has changed in the way we do business however the basics are now and always will be the same. Number one is appearance. Number two is reputation and last but most certainly not least is the products and services themselves. When you are planning on creating any kind of business remember nothing is more important than the basic tools you already have.
