The internet is an amazing tool, which is open to an endless array of businesses. In fact, only a very small percentage of the online businesses are dedicated to teaching internet marketing. You don’t have to talk about selling online to sell online.

Why you need to learn online marketing

Perhaps you don’t even have a website, you have a little shop on Main street. It’s doing nicely, but it could always do better. If only you could reach a wider audience! The internet will not only help you to reach a wider audience, it will help you do it for free.

How would you like to be on the front pages of Google? What about being the talk of your niche’s forums? How would you like it, if your business’ address was being passed around like a hot potato, by your target audience?
Neat, huh?..

How can you learn all these neat tricks?

As in all things in life, you must get an education. It’s true, there are courses off-line and online, where you could learn this information, but as I always scream off rooftops:

You can do it yourself and you can do it for free!!!

So here is how I did it…

1. Open a file in your email account and call it something along the line of “marketing tips”.
2. Get familiar with RSS methods.
3. Open a window or a tab for each one of the items on my Hotlist (on the sidebar).
4. Subscribe to each on of my Hotlist’s blogs by RSS.
5. Subscribe to their free courses by email and download their free reports and e-books.
6. If they refer you to another blogger or marketer, subscribe to these people’s lists, as well. I am warning you here and now, you may get spammed, but you also may get valuable information. How to sort this out? For the first couple of months, keep track of who sends you diamonds and who sends you coal. If after that you don’t like the looks of things, you can always unsubscribe.

Why should I let these opportunists spam me?!

Fabulous question! What I got from being spammed occasionally and tipped usually, was a good global picture of internet marketing. On one hand, I got specific unique tips and on the other, I got redundant information, that built a very whole picture of what is popular in the market. My Hotlist is a collection of the most insightful and helpful blogs, I’ve found on my virtual travels. They Are all 5 star worthy as far as I’m concerned.

Opening yourself up to this information will give you all the research you need to make. If you find that by the end of a years time (yes, a year, this ain’t the Siegfried and Roy show!) you know more than anybody else, around you, about Google (this will be apparent by the blank stare on their faces), then you have done it right. And all the benefits I mentioned in the beginning of this post will be yours, for free.

Don’t forget to implement

The best way to learn is to gain experience. Trial and error will not only show you what works and what doesn’t, but it will also make clear to you what works for you. By implementing the tips, you read, to your product, product packaging and sales techniques, you are sure to understand what you read better and thus be a better online marketer.

So, once again, I direct you, to my ever- growing Hotlist
