Future of Internet Marketing Competition Increase
As I stated in my last post there will be an increase in competition in the future due to new technology and an increase in new marketers. I fear that there will be a much higher failure rate in the future as well. I know that the failure rate of new internet marketers in already high and the fact that it will be even higher is not a good thing.
Considering there will be an increase in competition, this will mean that if you want to succeed you will have to set yourself apart from everyone else.
Let’s first address why there will be more internet marketers as time goes on. There are several reasons for this. The number of internet users is increasing daily worldwide, if you consider this as a whole astonishing numbers are gaining access to the internet each day. With the increase in technology and affordability, it allows more people to have access to the potential of an internet business.
Does it mean more people to buy what you’re selling? Sure, but if you’re not accessing and converting the traffic how will you sell more? The truth is you have to provide value and that will attract traffic itself after your initial efforts. More traffic doesn’t hurt and you will need lots of traffic to be successful.
Another reason that there will be more competition is that more people are turning to internet marketing. As more learn about it from someone they know. Yes, the majority of people will think it’s a scam, too bad for them great for us (if we are not selling internet marketing products to them).
These factors will result in increased competition, not to mention, all the advances in automation tools and new strategies. It will be nearly impossible to rank highly on search engines unless you have access to great resources and use them effectively.
A good approach to this is to create a blog and add great value, you will be able to build up readership and links to your site if you provide great value to your niche. This will give your further access to your customers.
I also like the idea of becoming the authority; this will allow you to have tons of traffic and great rankings. My approach to becoming an authority is consistently providing value and getting traffic from authority sites.
I actually get free authority links every day for my niche sites and this has allowed me to move toward becoming an authority. You can do the same, I’ll be releasing products that tell you exactly how to do this once you see how powerful it can truly be you will devote most of your time building traffic in this way.
There are also many paid traffic options, I’m not talking about high costing adwords ads, there are many more options including low cost adwords among other options you probably were told are ineffective or don’t even know they exist.
Automation Software Vs Outsourcing
Automation Software and Outsourcing both provide huge advantages to your business. Save you time and money is essential to be successful in any business. Having both automation tools and outsourcing resources will provide you with great possibility for success, if they are used correctly and are of good quality.
Let me make this clear before going into more detail, I have nothing against outsourcing and believe that they will always provide tons benefits to your business. Also they are real people and provided they do good work, treat them like people, this is how they make their living. If they do a good job and you are happy with their performance toward your business due consider offering them a bonus.
As a continuation from my previous post about Google Conquest and automation being the future of the internet business, I said that automation software will soon become more readily available and more reliable. This is what inspired me to right about this subject, also being blown away by the demo I say of Google Conquest.
I believe Automation software will change the way the internet business works. Providing quicker access to information sorted better than any search engines are currently providing. This means a shortcut directly to the sites you need to access most likely for getting content or promoting your site.
This gives you more of your most valuable resource “time” and as the popular saying goes time is money. I have recently found an increasing number of new valuable automation tools that actually automate the traffic producing process and as a result have been able to save time and money.
An unfair advantage, in my opinion, when compared to not having these tools and they are only going to get better. Like all technology, the internet is evolving because of this.
Another important point to bring up is that outsourcing can and may still cause a bigger investment of time. Think of how many times you may spend communicating with an outsourcer. Also you need to train them and pay them for every job. Yet, you still don’t have complete control of the work being completed.
The key is finding good people to outsource the jobs to is providing exact action steps for them to follow as well as writing your ad as though you only want the best people for the job. Good people will provide a good reflection of your business.
Your success is all about the resources you have and having quality resources that you use effectively will allow you to have almost unlimited success.
Lets get back to our comparison, lets say you pay someone $3 per hour on the low end to perform a job which can be performed by a good automation software that you pay a one time fee of $150 for. After 50 hours worth of work you will have made the money back from what your outsourcing would have costed you. Assuming you put the same amount of your own time involved.
Do you see the power in this?
So how can you have a huge advantage?
You may have already thought of this, using an outsourcer that uses the automation software. This combination will allow for huge profits as it can be the ultimate time and money saver.
Some issue to consider would be the outsourcer having access to the software and also training them to use it effectively, but both of these issue have solutions.
You may even want to know if your outsourcing partner is using some automation software already, and charging you an unfair hourly rate. To avoid this issue you may want to pay them based on the job they complete and also consider telling them how to get automation software, that will improve their job performance. Now you just have to decide automation software Vs outsourcing.
Google Conquest – The Future of Internet Marketing?
If you haven’t heard of Google Conquest by Alex Goad yet, you may be interested to know that it is basically a almost completely automated business. The only thing you would have to do is write a few articles and find a product to sell or sell your own.
I’ve made a simple blog about it that’s currently #11 on google for the term “google conquest” and I’m planning to release a product telling you how I got this competitive ranking for only like an hours worth of work. I actually decided not to spend any more time promoting it for the search engines simply because most people who see the Google Conquest opt in right away and as a result I would make minimal money with it, also it is limited to less than 2000 people so if you have the money to spend be sure to seriously think about it fast. Anyways here’s the site if you want to know more about it and yes there is a link to my affiliate link on that page, obviously, I want to make money on it.
http://googleconquest1.blogspot.com/
I also choose to promote it because I believe it resembles how technology is rapidly growing and could make it easier and more automated for us to make money and have a successful business. I believe technology like this is the future and now present thanks to Alex, of internet businesses.
The result is that people who don’t have the money and resources for products like these will and are at a huge disadvantage. Many automation products are already available and are providing fast effective results. I’m using some traffic producing automation products myself and while some of them produce poor quality, many of them save me tons of time.
For instance I use Article Post Robot which allows me to enter the information about an article and login information for hundreds of article sites. Then at a push of a button my article is submitted to all the article directories I choose.
It saves hours of time and produces results. Without products like these you can’t possibly keep up with the Big Dogs. The truth is more and more of these products are becoming available although it’s a slow process because the programing involved is very costly and time consuming.
I beleive in a few years from now this will all change. These automation tools will be super effective and available for the right price. As a result competition will increase in almost all niches. The increase in competition from new online business seekers will also increase. For more on this read John Reeses Rebirth ebook. I believe it’s still available and free, but not sure.
So as a result you need to jump on automation tools if you find one that seems to be good and for a fair price. Just recently Jack Humphry released blog talk monitor (free software) go here and download it http://www.blogsuccess.com/
This allows you to enter in keywords and view what others are saying online. Stay on top of your niche and you will have an unfair advantage. Like with all great software, that saves you time. The most important resource you have is time. If you can speed up the process of something while still produce quality results why wouldn’t you?
So like I was saying automation products will be the future of every successful internet business owner if it is not already. It may be hard to find good automation products right now, none compare to Google Conquest, from the demo I’ve seen.
To further look into this I will be comparing automation software and outsourcing in my next post, come back soon and check it out or look for the post titled “Automation Software Vs Outsourcing”
Having a Plan for Internet Business Essential?
I’ll keep this short, I’ve noticed that the people who have a hard time making money online don’t have a plan or system. This is essential, every successful internet business owner has some sort of plan, some don’t have a very good one and some people have great systems and plans.
When you go around aimlessly promoting something in hopes of getting lucky and making a sale, success will be minimal. Even if you don’t want to settle on selling specific things, I’m guilty of trying to sell various things, it’s a good thing, you need to have a system in place for promoting what you are selling.
You will never get any traffic if you don’t have a system of getting it. I had a hard time getting traffic in the past. Once I developed a good system, I realized that I could make a lot more money. Your system should be something that works for you, something that you don’t mind doing or that you know how to get other people to do (outsource).
I actually have several traffic systems in my business, I’ll tell you the process I used to develop them in the next article I release. Please, develop a system, if you don’t have one, I’ll be releasing some products in the future that go into detail on some of my most effective traffic systems, as of right now it’s called the Green Light Traffic System.
Be sure to read how I developed my traffic systems, it’s essential for the growth of your business.
Continuity – Increased Popularity in Internet Marketing
With the promotion of some amazing videos by Ryan Deiss and the successful launch of his continuity product. It seems everyone is rushing to quickly create a lower priced continuity promoting product. First of all many people don’t know what continuity is so to put it simply it is a membership of some kind.
The beauty of the continuity model of business is that you can get paid for several months from the each member. This provides residual income which should be a major goal for anyone that is serious about building an online business.
The increased popularity of the continuity style of business is a great thing for inspiring internet business entrepreneurs. The fact is there are so many different options of continuity products now available from many different internet marketers.
Everyone has their own opinion of how to create a successful continuity business. As a result some people have chosen to voice an opinion about how they don’t like continuity programs as well as in the warrior forum. Before deciding to purchase a continuity program you need to see this Ryan Diess Warrior Forum Response
Many people believe that continuity programs take tons of work. My take on this issue is that if you have knowledge in the subject it will take less time to set up a successful continuity program. Many people fail to see that they can find experts to help. This is necessary in my opinion. If you have an expert to help you, there will be less work for you to do on your own and more importantly, you will be able to provide higher quality to your members.
The reason quality is important and necessary is that your members will stay members longer allowing you to make lots more money. It’s much easier to increase the information quality than to find enough new additional members to cover the same amount of increased profits.
You should make sure you work on increasing quality until you can’t increase membership length any longer, this will maximize profits. Get the necessary experts to help with your continuity program the price you pay them could be well worth the increased profits.
Continuity works you just have to set it up effectively, the better your continuity program is set up the more success you will have. I also have some continuity tricks up my sleeve and use those to further increase profits with my continuity programs. It all comes down to the knowledge you have and the work you or someone else puts in.
I like to use a combination of an actual membership site and an email list for various reasons I’d rather not expose at this time. But this combination is ideal when set up correctly from my experience. Other people have their own concepts of setting up their continuity program.
Always look for the best way to communicate with members, so that you can keep their interest in your membership program. There are several ways to do this. Just be creative and think as a member of your continuity program. What would I want if I was a member of this program?
When you think as the customer you will increase your success rate immediately. One example of keeping interest in your continuity program is creating a monthly contest or something similar. Think logical, you don’t want to offer a high priced item each month if you can’t afford too.
Offering a special service of your expertise may be a wiser choice, there are many other ways to keep your members interested. I like to communicate with members through email. If you offer good information on a regular basis, you customers will be happy with your continuity.
