Internet Marketing: What You Need To Know Before You Start

By Angle Stephen


Internet marketing is not just an option anymore; it's something that you need to do. If you don't market your business well on the internet, no one will know you exist. Moreover, your competitors will be more than happy to take your prospective customers. Use these tips to make sure that you get noticed on the internet.

If you have a phone number that clients or customers call, put your web address or domain name in the outgoing message on your voicemail. Anyone who calls in and hears that, may just sign in to your website to see if they can find the answer to the question that they were calling about.

To understand how your audience uses your website, you need to add analytics tracking to the site. Analytics gives you a lot of interesting intelligence about your website visitors including how many are visiting each day, how many are returning a second time, what content they are most interested in, and much more.

When first getting started with Internet marketing, it is usually easier to focus your attention on small micro-niches rather than trying to tackle larger niches. For instance, it would be nearly impossible for you to rank well in the search engines with a website about weight loss in general because the competition is so fierce. However, if you break it down into a smaller micro-niche such as how to lose weight for a wedding, you will stand a much better chance of reaching your target audience.

Make sure you have perfect spelling and grammar on all of your internet marketing. The quickest way to scare off potential customers is by having too many spelling errors. This translates to visitors as carelessness. Have a few other people read over your writing to catch mistakes you may have missed.

Set a goal for your website. In most cases, it is to drive more business but you must have a goal on how to do that. As important as it is to set goals, it is just as, if not more important to come up with some kind of system to measure your success in reaching those goals.

The major goal when designing your website is to keep things simple. Limit the number of fonts to 3. The same applies to the primary color palette. If your site is too complicated or busy, people will be turned off. Keep all the important information on your homepage. If people have to click on too many links, they will probably decide to shop elsewhere. Focus on quality rather than quantity.

Creating buzz about your product or website online can be inexpensive if you put some work into it. Creating topics with positive comments about your product on different relevant forums is a great way to increase both popular perception of your product and let people know where they can get it.

Internet marketing can be a very fickle business, so always remember never to become too attached to any one idea or approach. For every success you achieve, you'll probably experience at least three failures. Make sure that you're always ready to cut your losses and walk away if something isn't working well.
