Online Marketing Tips For Beginners

Unfortunately, like a lot of things in life, it is way too easy to get overwhelmed with all the stuff you need to learn to be successful marketing online. If you are not careful you will find yourself jumping from the latest "you beaut" product to the next and ultimately find yourself burnt out with information overload and nothing other than a full hard drive of digital products to show for your efforts.

Here are my five online marketing tips for beginners.

1. Find a marketing product or system that interests you and stick with it. Do not worry most systems will produce some results. Cancel all your email subscriptions if they distract you from your work or even worse tempt you into trying something else.

2. Take your time to learn your chosen marketing product or system as it will be a good grounding for your future marketing ventures. Stick with it and do not go from one system to the next because you are not a millionaire in 7 days or whatever the system promised in the sales letter. Short of a big lottery win this rarely happens especially to beginners.

3. Do not just read the manual or watch the videos but take action. Stop reading the manual or stop the video and do those steps you read about or watched before you go on to the next step. OK you website looks ugly or your new eBook has lots of blank pages but remember you are not going to be a success overnight, so do not expect to be.

4. Write down what you do so that you know what you did when something works then you can easily do it again. Your notes will also help work out where you went wrong and how you can fix it. Not only that your notes are original content so can form the beginnings of a future ebook, articles or video. OK back to reality that dream can wait.

5. Create value in everything do by adding your ideas and original content. Step back and ask yourself would you read it or buy it. If someone buys a product they will not like it if it is just has a new title and shiny new digital cover and they have read it a dozen times before. This may to be acceptable for giveaway products but it creates more value if you have something unique to giveaway as well.

Don't Be Afraid of Facebook Marketing

Happy Halloween. Don't be afraid to market on Facebook, especially if you use a few solid fundamentals when setting up your Facebook marketing strategy. In this article we'll cover Facebook business pages, Facebook groups, Facebook Marketplace ads, Facebook CPC or Facebook PPC advertising (not PPV), How to work with Facebook groups, and finally how to list your business in a Facebook group. All that is required to drive these strategies is a valid Facebook account, and a functional email. One of the reasons we love Facebook for advertising, is that it allows the user to target by demographic, meaning age, group, sex, and location. Depending on the offer or product you are promoting, this way of slicing demographic data can be very powerful (as opposed to Google ads which are more keyword drive, for example). People who enroll with Facebook actually put in this type of data when they sign up for their account, whereas with Google only an email address is collected. This i

Facebook Marketing and List Building

For a few years now, we hear people talk about chatting or just leaving messages for their friends on Facebook. Even with our childhood friends or old friends which we happen to come across with at the mall or in any of our travels, we never fail to ask them if they have a Facebook account and what name they are using now (since most married women don't use their maiden names anymore). It's really exciting to see old friends and meet people through Facebook. Since there is no limit to the countries you can reach, you can meet people from different parts of the world! This is also the best part to being an Internet marketer. You can use Facebook and other social media sites like Twitter for the growth of your online business. One of the greatest advantages is the fact that you can use it in your list building project. It is for this reason that Facebook is already noted as a public asset and a Social Media Legend. With only a small effort on your part, you can see big resu
