Being Aware of Marketing as it Happens to You

by retta719 on February 26, 2011

Marketing and strategyOne of the great things about understanding internet marketing is being able to realize when marketing is happening to you.  As marketers, we are marketed to all the time.  If you pay attention to the marketing that’s happening in the world around you, you can get a lot of great ideas about how to run your business.

Recently I became acquainted with a podcast expert named Cliff Ravenscraft over at PodcastAnswerMan.com. I have to tell you, Cliff has what I consider to be a near perfect sales funnel in operation there.

Here’s how I experienced Cliff Ravenscraft…

The First time I heard about Cliff was from an authority in the podcast space, Jason Van Orden, over at InternetBusinessMastery.com. He talked about Cliff as an expert on podcasting gear and I needed some, so I went over to Cliff’s website. That’s the first part of the sales funnel.

Niche Site Duel Update #2

by Mark Mason on September 4, 2010

A few days ago I posted my very first Niche Site Duel update.  For those of you that missed that one,  I’m participating in the Niche Site Duel along with Pat Flynn at the Smart Passive Income Blog and Tyrone TyroneShum.com from . The point of the duel is to try and create a profitable niche website in plain view of our readers so that you can see the different techniques that are used.

You’ll recall that Pat is taking an organic SEO approach where he is trying to convert visitors to sales directly from copy. At least that is my short version of his approach.  Tyrone, on the other hand, is taking an organic SEO approach where he is trying to capture leads to a list and will convert them later with copy. They have both agreed not to buy traffic.  I am not buying traffic either, and I’m taking an approach more like Pat

In my case I’m outsourcing everything I possibly can.

In the last article I described all of the procedures that I went through to select a niche, find an affiliate offer, and get a website up and running. I used a quick and dirty approach. I didn’t spend a lot of time doing keyword research and I used as much rewritten PLR as possible so I could get the site up and running as quickly as I could. I strongly prefer using Pat’s method of careful thought and original content (Pat is THE man), but the point of this approach is to see what can be accomplished with outsourcing and a minimum amount of personal effort.
