June 7th, 2010 Walt Bayliss No comments

If you are new to internet marketing or have tried it without success, then you need to get the right kind of help. There tend to be three different types of “internet gurus” online. There are those who are whizzes at generating traffic, there are those who understand the subtleties of the sales process and there are those who understand both of these processes. What you need is the third kind.

You can get a lot of valuable information from the Internet Tech types. They know all of the intricacies of running a website, from HTML to backend applications like PHP. They know how search engines work and they know how to make them work for them.

The other type of online marketing guru usually has a successful background in marketing and sales offline. They know how to research products and package them in a way that makes the products sell to consumers. They understand the meaning and importance of demographics and can distinguish the important difference between establishing customer trust and closing a sale.

The combined skills of an Internet Technology expert and a sales and marketing expert makes the perfect online marketing mix. In order for you to see why you need their combined knowledge base, it would be helpful to also see their individual shortcomings.

Perhaps you already have done a keyword search for marketing tools or manuals. If so, you have probably found some really terrible links that nevertheless get high rankings in search engines. They often come in the form of squeeze pages that hammer you with lots of “Buy Now and Save” and “Get Rich Quick” hype. As you can attest yourself, since you didn’t take the bait, that is no way to sell a legitimate product. It just insults your intelligence.

Sometimes, quite by accident, you stumble across a blog post, a video or article that is filled with useful information by an obvious expert. You click on the link and are led to a nicely made, easily navigable website that compels you to want to try the product or service that is being offered. The person who created that content knew how to attract paying customers, but they didn’t know how to get a high page ranking.

Once in awhile, you find precisely what you are looking for right at the top of the search engine listings. You find a page that is packed with helpful information that has been well-written and gives you the confidence you need to purchase the product or service that is being offered. When you find such a place, know that you have also found an internet guru.

Internet marketing requires skills in both traffic generation and sales. It’s no good having a great product or service if no one can find you. It’s no good getting thousands of page clicks if nobody likes what they see when they find you. Find a marketing guru who knows how to do it right and you will be on the right track.

One of the most important tasks of Internet marketing is list building. Your Internet business needs a steady flow of motivated and qualified traffic.
