Developing an Internet Marketing Priority List

Online marketing is definitely ascending. From small businesses to major companies, everyone craves to take advantage of marketing opportunities opened up by the worldwide web. Some have succeeded greatly – like the Amazons of the world – but others stumble over the immensity of the field of opportunity. For many it feels as if they have brought their one-horse buggy to a freeway entrance or an airport runway. They know that the horse will no longer suffice, but they simply don’t know what vehicle of many will propel them for the remainder of the journey. Online marketing offers virtually unlimited conveyances and methods, but the results can vary from dismal to fantastic. The opportunities are limitless, and creative ideas are flowing in all directions at a very fast rate. The challenge for the online marketer is to prioritize and to make the most out of the best that online marketing has to offer.

Although the creative ideas of entrepreneurs and marketers gave birth to online marketing approaches, their baby reaches ‘marketing maturity’ through focus on details, mechanics, and step-by-step execution. Marketers should aim creative energy at the details and engineering after the idea is hatched. Entrepreneurs need to bring their heads out of the clouds during these moments and focus their sights on the small details in their Web analytical reports. Details, as small as they may seem, can focus together into a blinding light that will optimize online marketing.

The point is this. The marketer should invest serious time and painstaking effort into his idea, and he should do it right. With limited money and time, entrepreneurs should choose only one idea – two at most – to invest in. And the best way to do that is by PRIORITIZATION. This is the age-old challenge. “It is never that you did not have time to do something. It is that something was not given priority and time for it to be done.”

Here are some of the best ways to prioritize your online marketing efforts:

- Avoid Excessive Information
Choose quality content. Your time is very important. Do not spend it focusing on content that clutters and drowns out the core. Avoid content that adds only tiny value.

- Tweet
A great and effective way to get your content found is by using Twitter. Quantity is part of the game. Yet, like we always say, “Quality over quantity.” Quality will win out. Tweet to gain value, not to get your brand seen.

- Know what customers want, then give it to them
You must help your customers find what they want. Do not segment customers based on size or geography. Guide them based on interest.

- Use SEO
You must have the online content to compete. After creating this quality content, make it appealing to search engines, thus making it really competitive. Always focus on quality.

To sum up, never work all of your ideas at the same time. You will simply end up achieving nothing meaningful, even after a considerable amount of time. Instead, select one or two ideas worth investing in, do it right, and do it big. Do it because you believe and have faith in what you are doing. God Bless You
