Cheapskate Viral Marketing
by: David Badurina
Every day someone gets brave and tries Cheapskate Viral Marketing and it never works. As a matter of fact, it's more likely to backfire than to have no effect at all, and that's simply not good for your business.

Cheapskate Viral Marketing is the act of spreading around re-hashed or garbage information with gimmicks and tricks in order to lure people into your clutches so you can market to them the same way over and over again. This doesn't just mean spammers, either.

When you're dealing with subscribers or potential clients, you had better make sure that what you're saying has some kind of value to it. Touting your new free eBook as the next greatest thing and then turning around and publishing the same tired, old text that your subscribers have likely seen a thousand times before begins a pattern of distrust. With every release of any product - informational or otherwise - the back of your potential client's mind is filled with questions about whether it is exactly the same as what they've seen before.

This is a much deeper problem than simple market saturation - this is branding your business as a clone. It turns you and your products into a run-of-the-mill bulk commodity. Everybody has it, it just depends on who's cheapest. That's a rough road to travel down. So how do you avoid Cheapskate Viral Marketing? You avoid it with honesty and quality information. If you're upfront about what you know and you're willing to share quality information with people in an interested market, you will gain clients and you will gain respect. Quality information is key.

In a Viral Marketing campaign, if you're willing to freely distribute high-quality information, you will have some measure of success. Giving away something for nothing has long been considered an impossible situation - one that will never allow you to grow your business.

Wrong.

It can be argued that nothing builds your credibility faster than giving away something for nothing. Should you sabotage your business and distribute all of your products for free? No. You can, however, build true and lasting relationships with your subscribers and prospective clients by sharing just a bit of the "good stuff" they're looking for. Give them some of the real quality information - tips, techniques or experiences - that will keep them coming back for more. That's exactly when your potential customers change from being interested in what you have to say to being interested in the fact that you are the one saying it. Earn their respect, and with effort, you can turn them into the kind of customers you'd love to have.

eMarketing Basics
 by: Matt Bacak

eMarketing, commonly known as an Internet marketing tool, refers to 'how' businesses market their services or products online. In this new age of technology, an Internet presence directly affects the success of a business. From an ecommerce site to an informational site, eMarketing begins at your homepage.

Utilize a Website

Every website has one goal and that is to heighten the interest of the reader. For the homepage to be an effective eMarketing tool, web content needs to follow the search engine optimized (SEO) techniques outlined by search engine domains like Google and Yahoo. Once landing on your site, the content will act as a sales letter.

Whether you operate a service or sell products, eMarketing is more affordable than the traditional means of marketing. Over 130,000,000 people surf the Internet daily. It would take a hefty investment to reach this number of people in the more traditional means of marketing.

Producing a website that ranks well in the search engines, will assist you in obtaining more visitors and visitors easily convert into customers at a rather amazing rate.

Cost Comparison

Printing promotional material can be quite costly. With a website, this cost is significantly lower because your site eliminates the need for brochures or an abundance of business cards. Instead of sending a new prospective literature in the mail, re-direct them to your website. It will guide potential customers through the basics of your business.

Studies show that the per-reader response rates of newspaper advertisements are low. This is due to the number of readers that scan over your add that really have not interest in your services or products. Online readers, however, are a direct result of search engines. These people want to know more about your services or products. The likelihood of turning visitors into customers is higher.

Advertising Campaign

With eMarketing, the cost of an advertising campaign is drastically lower. The same rules apply but with less effort. You'll need to locate your target market, address their interest, and show how they can benefit.

Typical, ezines or announcements serve as an eMarketing campaign medium. Utilizing these mediums will improve your online business. Here's how you can get started:

Ezines: Ezines are nothing more than an electronic newsletter. There are several services online that will assist you in writing an ezine. But use caution! It's bad business to send an ezine to someone who hasn't subscribed.

Announcements: Announcements are similar to a press release. Using the electronic transfer of news to an email box, you can announce new events, new services, and new products a lot faster.

Hottest eMarketing Tool

Today, e-books are the hottest marketing tool of the Twentieth Century. Once Internet Gurus grasp the concept of selling their services or products with an e-book, the market jumped. Adding an e-book to your tools of eMarketing is a smart move.

E-books consist of hidden links (as in, not apparent) that the inexperienced e-book reader can't see. These links help promote affiliate programs and sell your services or products. The readers click through the e-book and find themselves at your site.

E-books are an eMarketing medium that needs careful planning. It makes no sense to develop an e-book on dogs if you sell household appliances. To be successful at eMarketing with e-books, you need to write content related to your business. For instance:

· Home Improvement - How to Design a Kitchen

· Accountant - How Small Businesses can Benefit From a CPA

· Web Developer - How a Website Can Help

Bottom Line

eMarketing has saved businesses thousands of advertising dollars. It's an effective marketing tool that every business should take advantage of. With a better understanding of how eMarketing can help improve your business, you can prepare for an eMarketing campaign that will exceed all of your expectations.
