Getting Started with Internet Marketing

Adding Renegade Marketing Strategies

Here at Simply Home Business, we have added more Internet marketing to our marketing and business promotion strategies. We are seeing the incredible potential of Web 2.0 tools and social marketing to build our list of prospective customers for products and services faster and deeper than ever before. And, because these strategies are dependent on newer technology, we are getting our help with this process by enrolling at Renegade University. We started with the free stuff, lots of detailed step-by-step guidance in return for our contact information. (See also Who Is Your Prospect? : Build Your List, posted in the Network Marketing section here at Simply Home Business.)

Web 2.0 Tools: Super Effective Marketing Through Connection and Collaboration

Web 2.0 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_2)

“Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies.” (3/17/08)

We are building a “webby” Internet marketing system using blogs (e.g. this blog hosted by Squarespace.com), social networking (Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn), content-sharing (Digg, Squidoo, HubPages) and social bookmarking (Digg, deli.cio.us, stumbleupon).  The primary purpose of our new marketing strategies is to attract prospective customers and clients by providing the kind of content and information they are actively seeking on the Web.

We want them to find us, rather than spending our time going out to find them and engaging with a lot of people who don’t really want what we have to offer and weren’t looking for it. (Some of them were even upset with us because we tried to engage with them to sell our products or services or business opportunity–when they weren’t looking for it and didn’t want it and didn’t want to spend time listening or talking about it. Imagine that?)

Why Renegade Strategies?

It totally turned our business development process on its head when we stumbled across the work of Ann Sieg (Renegade Network Marketing) and Mike Klingler (Renegade University). Because:

  • Ann Sieg offers us a viewpoint that includes a solution to our need for cashflow at the beginning of our business ventures through sale of an information product that is low cost and high value.
  • Mike Klingler offers us a step-by-step guide to generating and moving traffic to and through our marketing web based on valuable content and social marketing principles.

What Will You Learn?

Ann Sieg and Mike Klingler offer you the opportunity to get a free beginner’s education about using the principles of Attraction Marketing and Web 2.0 tools to ramp up your marketing efforts. At Renegade University (and Renegade Pro) you get step by step help with the mechanics of setting yourself up to utilize the technologies and strategies needed to build an Attraction Marketing engine for your business.

No matter what your business is or what products or services you market, you can use the guidance at Renegade University to set up your system for attracting prospective customers, clients and/or team members.

And last but not least, you’ll learn how to make the most of your efforts to increase cash flow into your business from the beginning, rather than spending and spending more and more money to make money.

Make the most of your energy, time, enthusiasm and imagination. You will work hard and steady but you won’t add insult to injury by driving yourself to the poorhouse while working harder and harder for less and less. Your consistent work will pay off with an endless stream of prospects for your business.

Join us there–and let Dennis and Kate be your guides to a successful home business start up.

NOT. No, not. Not, not, not a get rich quick method.

If you are looking for a way to get rich quick, stop reading now. Find another path to quick wealth (and when you’ve found it, let me in on your secret, ‘kay?).

You need some time–and some money to get started building an internet business. You can start with a little time, say 3 months working 6-20 hours a week at it–and a little money, for some basic tools to help you get started. If you are cash strapped and panicked about paying your bills (and a LOT of us are right now), find another way to get some quick cash. While you are doing that, reserve some time in your calendar each day and each week for 3 months.

Here’s what you’ll be doing with your time reserved for your internet business:

  1. Decide what kind of internet business you will start.
  2. Figure out the process you will use to get started and build your list of prospects and clients/customers.
  3. Learn some basic internet marketing skills.
  4. Learn some essential information and skills for your particular business.
  5. Get ready–and LAUNCH into action.

If you feel like you are ready for this process, get started with some free and inexpensive advice and training. Then, set up your work schedule to include time to learn, time to talk to people and time to begin to set up your system. Put it into your day planner, just like you would schedule work on any other projects or appointments. This time is a series of appointments with yourself to build the business to support your future–your future with more freedom, more creativity, more satisfaction and more ownership.

If you’d like a free consultation about Getting Started, please give me a call to schedule an hour to talk and work with me on the telephone. (Or, click here to go to Home Business Start Up consultation sign up.) It’s an hour dedicated to your success in internet business building.

To your best foot forward,
