I have, by now, looked at literally hundreds of internet marketing training and promotion systems. They all have some good benefits and I’ve learned something from almost all of them. And having looked at so many I now definitively know the difference between a system that is just good and a system that is truly great: step-by-step instructions!
There are lots of systems out there that tell you what you should do, but not how to do it. I’ll give you an example. I’ve been doing article marketing for well over 6 years now. When I first started, there wasn’t a lot of information out there on how to do it. I just did some research on my own, read a few articles, looked at what other people were posting, and took my best shot at it. And it worked … slowly. It took about 2 years for my MLM website to gain the necessary popularity and for orders to flow in automatically. I learned about things like keyword searches, keyword density, and good titles just by experience (seeing which articles got a lot of hits and which didn’t).
But I could never teach it to anyone because all that information was just an odd jumble in my head. I couldn’t formalize it to make it duplicatable. But now I can … with some of the new training systems I’ve been participating in, I’ve been reading educational articles, listening to online recordings, and watching videos. And they lay out the rules of successful article marketing in black and white. They tell me:
- what to write
- how many words to write
- how to find great keywords
- how to write a good title
- how to write a good resource box
- what sentence I MUST include at the end of my article
- how to avoid getting booted out of certain article directories
- to which article directories I need to submit (and how many)
That’s pretty darn specific in my book. And I love it! It gives me some great “rules of thumb” that I can lean on whenever I’m not sure how to proceed (”Do I use this keyword or is the competition too stiff?”). Not only that but I can pass on these rules to my groups as well. Stellar! And I don’t even have to do the thinking.
So the next time you’re out surfing around looking for tools and training systems to help you with internet marketing, check out each system and see how specific they are. They should at least give you a glimpse before you have to sign up.
Good luck with your internet marketing efforts!
