Category: Internet Marketing tips and tricks

What is rule number one to internet marketing? Never, ever forget- the money is in the list.

Here in the industry, the A-listers are the ones with the largest email addresses on their database, and mind you, the can range to a hundred thousand emails. Imagine you have that kind of number (or even just a portion of it) and then try to think of all the profitable possibilities of just sending an email blast to those people? That’s exactly why the big internet marketers refer to their email lists as their personal ATM machine. Sounds exciting right?

So I was looking at my previous entries here at seo-hacker and I just came to realize I’ve been very unstrategic in my posts. Why?

Because I think (and thanks for putting up with this) that at frequent instances, I’ve just been throwing random internet marketing terms at you and haven’t really begun with the ultimate basics.

And because of that, I figured better to start now than any time later.

It’s always a given that the best way to make profits from a blog or website is to have a product of your own. But that doesn’t leave you to explore other opportunities does it? And besides, it’s not as if it’s easy to whip up a product in a flash.

So while you’re at it, or if you just want to focus on money-making regardless of who’s product it is, the answer is very simple – earn money online by promoting profitable products (such as our own Issho Genki Squalene) on your site.

Last Friday (I hope my mental calendar is still working properly), Sean and I met up and talked about some new exciting things- and new exciting people as well- in store for SEO-Hacker. Okay, I might not be able to drop any more hints about that. Well at least not yet (right Sean?).

What I’m about to share today however revolves around what every product-owner-wannabe needs. Before you start creating your product (or maybe during), before you even think of launching it, or before you even light the buzz online, there’s one thing that you better realize you need- it’s a marketing plan.

My series of posts about internet marketing isn’t just about the people who practice them and churn out profits. Nope, as much as possible, this is about you too.

Yes you – the person who purchases online and is lured by consumerism, the person who is being bombarded with advertising and promotion deals everyday, the person who has to watch out for his pocket and make the most of every penny.

Yes, this is very much about you.

Now that we’ve established the basic reasons who you should engage in joint venture (JV) partnerships (see part I of this series), let’s now move on to the actual how-to guide- on to finding joint venture partners.

In the world of internet marketing, you’d usually begin alone, clueless and fumbling in the virtual dark. Here’s a crucial tip though – you don’t need to be. That’s what JV partnerships are for.

Sure, if you feel like you’re a one man show that’s about to crack the ultimate marketing secret, then go ahead and do it.

What’s true: social media is now a very powerful force to reckon with when it comes to internet marketing.
What’s not: exploiting the people using them is the way to do it.

If you’ve ever been an internet marketer (or at least had a faint background about it), you should be familiar about the dark side of the industry. In reality, some internet marketers don’t just care. These type of marketers have one end goal – to make a sale for them to gain profits. Period.

Remember the time when you saw the movie poster of Inception (assuming you don’t know about it) and said to yourself, “nah, I don’t really need to watch this movie”. But then, come a few days later, all your friends are raving about it. You say you haven’t watched it yet and then, as you see the stunned look on their faces while they stick out their hand to form an ‘L’ sign, you realize, you’re actually missing out.

So the next day (or weekend), you set yourself to watch that movie (and it was awesome!) and try to find some other non-moviegoer guy whom you can pass the ‘L’ sign on too.

But wait, before you think this is another one of those nonsense tips around building online relationships, I’m promising to you right now that in here is where I’m laying out genuine and proven ways to amass your social circle. Of course legitimate means that is.
