If you don’t have a strategy for your internet marketing, you’re immediately at a disadvantage versus almost anyone who does.
Even if their plan is merely written on the back of a napkin, it’s still further advanced than yours!
Creating an internet marketing strategy doesn’t have to take hours or weeks or months. It’s enough to have a good idea of where you want to go and fill in the gaps later.
Autoblogging promises that you can simply add a plugin to a WordPress site, edit a few settings, press go and – hey presto – you’ve got a profitable site!
Does it really work?
Most of the time nowadays, the answer is no.
It has worked in the past but if you’re simply buying a $97 script and expecting to find the internet equivalent of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you’re likely to be disappointed.
Goal setting is important – if you’ve set goals, you’re more likely to achieve things. There have been various studies that have shown that people with goals outperform those who don’t have them.
Written goals perform better than “top of the head” goals.
Detailed written goals go even further.
But what’s rarely mentioned is how your goals affect your results.
A lot…
Exact match domain names are often suggested as being useful for SEO purposes.The logic is that Google take account of the domain name when they return results for a search and give a small boost if it matches.
Is that true?
Or have they been over-used and will you get penalised?
In internet marketing you’re always told to choose a niche.
But how can you decide whether or not to enter a particular niche?
Will it be profitable?
Will it be worth spending time on?

Much as I like WordPress, there are some things that it’s frustrating to do with it.
Things like this box for example. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec odio urna, accumsan id sodales sit amet, tristique in ligula. Integer at velit eros.
Should you spend more time creating videos or articles?
Obviously this is an article but is it the most effective way to get visitors to your site or offer?
Which works best?
The closer you can match your articles and posts to what’s going on inside people’s minds, the better.
We all have an inner voice. For some people it’s fairly quiet, for others it’s as though it has a loud hailer at its disposal. And all points in between, often at different levels at different times.
Most people don’t vocalise their thoughts but if you can get inside your own head and get to the bottom of what’s bugging you, you can write an article or a post about it. And it will resonate with your readers.
One of the things that’s almost always suggested in internet marketing is give stuff away for free.
An ebook or special report or a video or even some software (maybe a WordPress plugin) in exchange for an email address.
Once this happens, you’ve got another subscriber and you’ve read that each subscriber is worth $1 a month, so that must be good news?
We all need plans – both business and personal.
Otherwise we’re just wandering aimlessly and getting nowhere fast. Or nowhere slowly.
Either way, without a plan of some sort, that’s still not somewhere we intended to be.
If you haven’t got a plan currently or if it’s a while since you visited your plan, check out these ideas.
