DIY Marketing
This is the first in a series of articles concerning DIY Marketing(/u>. DIY can stand for either of two phases: Do It Yourself or Do It Yeshua, depending on your point of view (YeshuaAt age 72 I know just how much such a life in Christ can mean to anyone willing to believe. After 32 years of scripture knowledge and living a life in the spirit, I am well aware that "All things are possible through Jesus Christ who strenghtens me". Thus, Do It Yeshua Marketing simply expresses my understanding regarding Gods role in my life through a surrendered life that I gave up 32 years ago. Since, my every day is to die to selve that He might live. Ah, but I diverse:
Web sites specifically designed to freely help others with their network marketing issues are not common today. Most attempt to do it honestly, and some want money for their help. At Home Computer Wealth we are in the habit of giving stuff away, e.g., my own Overcomers eBook, the marketing eBooks of others, and other helpful web sites to teach home businesses to run successful home based businesses and specifically Roadmap To Riches. Our Internet DIY Marketing System is offered as the answer for 97% of HBB (Home Based Business) entrepreneurs desiring a breakthrough to wealth using their home computer. Home Computer Wealth promotes the good news, my help, your prosperity, and the Truth. We serve you regardless of your beliefs.
We all require teaching and guidance when serious about promoting business from home. Some feature methods to do this and web pages to help all of us. Since so few of HBB owners are really top notch sales people it behoves us to know that there are companies now selling information where they do the selling for you and indeed have real ways to help you find people to talk to.
You see times are changing rapidly. The old "Amway" form of running a home based business distributorship is fading fast using catalogs and retail sales. Old ways involved selling to your friends, neighbors or warm market, or perhaps you did mailings by sticking labels on post cards. You either used the local phone book or you had to purchase telephone leads. You also might have advertised in the local papers or used magazine want ads inviting others to join your team. You can do these things today, but the Internet has really changed things. However, we must know how to use such a powerful tool.
For example, with the exponential growth of Internet technology, today the WWW can come up with all the leads that you'll ever want. What kind of leads am I talking about? Email leads! Since a huge percentage (perhaps 95%) of us will never make enough money using the Internet by making cold phone calls or by spamming with hundreds or thousands of emails each day. Besides unsolicited emails are illegal. Something has to change. Now can one earn a respectable income without suffering from rude behavior, breaking the law, boring repetitive no answers, answering machines, and phone rejection?
Furthermore, understand that if you talk to 100 people (that might involve making 300 phone calls) you will perhaps get 2 people interested in joining your opportunity. But those 2 might still not sign-up! Those 300 phone numbers may have cost you anywhere from $150 to $2500 depending on what type of leads you purchased. Knowing this you may jumpt into Google adwords. That can cost upwards to $10 per lead or as low as .30 cents, so get the right kind of help using Google adwords, or you will quickly find yourself going broke. Be encouraged! You will find answers at Roadmap to Riches.
I still do not understand where lead vendors come off selling you personal information of others seeking a home business. Anybody can simply Google "home based business" and find what business they want. Except when I do this, my computer says you will find 580,000,000 answers. So then what do you do? Have you seen those commercials on TV where people testify to having made thousands in their own home based business. Those TV ads, producted by lead vendors, encourage you to visit a web site to find out more. You are then to leave your personal informatioin so they can contact you with the right business for you. You may agree, that there just seems to be something wrong with this behavior. Because the information that they get from you is sold to others as leads. Those who purchase those leads will then be calling you with there "opportunity".
Today Home Computer Wealth believes, as many do, that leads can be created by the home computer user directly. You should not have to purchase leads any longer, not be hounded by phone calls, or hound others with imposing phone calls. To quote a recent movie, "build it and they will come".
There are many advertisers ready to obtain legitimate eMail leads for you. The leads that you will receive will be from folk looking to the Internet to earn a living. But most are not specific to your offering. Leads will also be produced because folk like you wish to advertise using the Internet. Leads from specific advertising are what you want. An eMail lead is created and sent to you when anyone responds to an Internet advertisement about your specific opportunity. This contact can also be a phone call to you to find out more about what you are offering. This is what you should strive for.
This is what every home based business owner wants...People calling to find out more.
Lead generation will become self- promoting. Your process is to understand how you use Internet offerings to help you advertise your home based business. The Internet advertising gurus propagate through affiliate networking. Affiliate networkers use the Internet to spread their offerings by paying you an affiliate commission to find others like yourself.
Do you see how the entire lead generation process has become self-promoting...And not you promoting. It may cost you a few bucks each month to obtain the advertising and promotion, but since others will wish to do the same thing, you will be able to obtain income from the affiliates wanting to join you. First, it all begins with you obtaining your own web site. It's a win-win situation, and having your own site is a must.
If you have found that buying leads is a real loser then get ready to excelerate your income because you will now have more traffic to your web site than you ever thought possible. When people respond to the advertising about your business, they will become an eMail lead where you can encourage them to your site by repeatedly dripping emails to them via your autoreponder.
My next article will discuss methods to drive traffic to your personal web site.
Until then there are two things that you require to make a huge income over the Internet. First, something that really benefits others, and working all the tools to help others find you. Beleive me DIY Marketing can be done.
