10 Keys to Attaining Online Marketing Success
By: Elliot Adams

Most people in America today spend significant amounts of time on the internet on a daily basis. It is therefore a necessity for any business to have a strong internet presence.

According to a Harris poll, 73% of adults in America are now online. Almost 82% of online consumers list buying merchandise as their primary use of the internet.Simply having an online presence though, is not sufficient. Just like in an offline business, you must outmaneuver the competition. It is the same when dealing with an online business. In fact, it is even more important to have the keys and tools to success for online marketing as the competition is mounting by the minute.

Below are the 10 fundamental keys to online marketing success:

1. GOALS: The first step is to write out your goals. Try to be specific as to both what your goals are and the time frame in which you hope to achieve them. It pays to think big but not unrealistically when writing your goals so you will have goals that are grand enough to motivate you but not too lofty, as to be discouraging .These goals can and should be modified as you progress in your online business, so be sure to review them often.

2. STRATEGY: Once you have your goals you must formulate a strategy that encompasses those goals and acts as your blueprint for success. Your strategy is simply the methods and techniques that you will use to accomplish your goals.

3. ORIGINALITY: Try to set yourself apart from your competitors, even if it is only a tiny difference. Focus on what that sets you apart from the rest. Bring attention to these unique qualities by incorporating them into your site design and message.

4. BE THE CUSTOMER: View everything you do through the eyes of your potential customer. As yourself exactly what you as a customer would want from your site or business to make it most appealing. Use the word YOU three-four times more than you use the word I.

5. VISIBILITY: Whether it is designing your site or when delivering content, use distinctive design and originality to set yourself apart. Design professional, easy to navigate design. When it comes to websites, you have just seconds to make a positive impression with site visitors before they click elsewhere.

6. EFFECTIVE USE OF KEYWORDS: This task while once difficult and time consuming has been made significantly easier with a number of great software programs that basically do the keyword research for you.

7. VALUABLE CONTENT: Unique site design encourages browsers to stay for a closer look. But it is the content that converts them to customers and encourages sales. Offer content that has value like newsletters, articles, blogs, informational audio clips and videos.

8. ADVERTISING: Whether it is PPC, SEO, Banners or through social media, it is vital to utilize most, if not all avenues of advertising so you put yourself in the best position to succeed.

9. AFFILIATE PROGRAM: An affiliate program is a must if you are selling a product online. Forming joint ventures, recruiting large affiliates and promoting the program are necessary tasks to boost revenue.

10. EMAIL AND COMMUNICATION: Email is a vastly underutilized online business tool that if used properly can increase your customer base and sales revenue immensely. Create an opt-in newsletter or compile a targeted email list for marketing plans. You must create value for your readers so you do not become just another spammer. Send out periodic emails making sure your customers are happy and asking them for feedback on your product and your customer service.

Remember, online businesses are all about relationships. You must build them and continue to build once you have them, by communicating with your customers.
