Create A Realistic Internet Marketing Strategy

Call it what you will. Internet marketing, online marketing, inbound marketing, SEO, etc. The goal (for most of us) is the same.

• Have a website that represents you well

• Consistently create compelling content

• Create & develop qualified traffic

• Engage or nurture this qualified traffic

• Convert this traffic into leads or prospects

• Convert these leads into customers

• Analyze the entire process

• Do it again, but do it better the next time

These are the fundamental components of a successful online business venture. Yes it can take on many different forms and every business is different but this basic structure is required. The better you can apply these elements, the more success you will experience.

The Problem: It can be a daunting task to wrap your mind and actually create a workable strategy that addresses all of these elements. As an Internet marketing professional, I witness this first hand on a regular basis. Business owners are understanding more than ever that gaining this visibility online is fast becoming the primary marketing method for many... including their competition. Understanding this reality has these business owners attempting to harness anything that they can in an effort to take advantage of these truths. This approach causes confusion, indecision and downright frustration.

The Solution: Do some research with an end goal of partnering with an internet marketing company that has demonstrated complete understanding of all these elements with the ability to configure the most appropriate strategy that can be applied to their particular operation.

The Conclusion: Business owners can no longer take the dated view that all of this needed work can be created, developed and managed with limited resources. There needs to be a better understanding of the realistic demands of a strong and long term internet marketing strategy and the implementation of that strategy. This process needs to be approached with full attention and understanding of the most productive components of the right internet marketing plan. There then needs to be trust either in an internal or external marketing team of professionals. As the saying goes, this strategy and it's success will only be as strong as it's weakest link. If constant analysis and management of the developing data is addressed and exploited, any internet project will achieve a higher degree of success than one that ignores these fundamentals.

Recommendation: Partner with a firm that not only can provide the most advanced technology, but one that has skill & experience in the world of marketing. Competition for internet real estate is growing and this simple fact requires understanding of all available components, how each component can benefit your objectives and what will be the most productive method of implementation and development.
