Interactive Marketing With Followers & Articles

Welcome Back Fellow Online Entrepreneurs!

I have some folks who are ready to interact BUT HANG ON! You want to rip right in when you most likely have your own ideas forming as to how things should work online.  I will tell you that this approach will keep your wheels spinning....slow you down...slow me down...and prevent me from offering you most of what's absolutely required and essential to your success.

You already have a myriad of Q's and A's you want to share.  I am glad! 

We are progressing:

*** People are concerned I have spam...but don't be concerned...I am watching comments daily
*** This is an open blog, and I want all eyes to view what's here
*** When the freshest version of my Word Press is ready, I will send you to that website.

AND... why I AM sharing this general update has much to do with what you will face when you are writing content on your blogger blog..., when you are facing "incoming"..., when you may or may not have more in place on the back end needed to support the incoming.

I am speaking of the use of filters supporting sales, consulting, and pay.

If you shut down access on your blog to all anonymous posters first, you don't have the ability to cast your open net onto a broadened audience.  In first phases of Internet marketing, you start general, hit small numbers at first, graduate upwards, sift and sort, then identify the powerhouses.  The ones who remain are serious and these are the ones who will build and succeed with their campaigns:
  • We will have interaction...but it cannot be an expensive form of interaction leading no where...for anyone of us.  It has to be concrete, specific, and measurable....speaking from experiences I am continually expanding on..;
  • What I run into are folks online who are tinkering away without some actionable plan, and the problem is that if you do not discipline your mind to slow down, focus, and take one step-at-a-time, you will be tinkering years down the road.
There are specific phases of online development that work in an specified ways...and these steps set up an orderly campaign (especially in Internet marketing).  Regardless of the type of marketing you employ (whether it is paid advertising, social media marketing, article marketing...and most often all forms of traffic), IT IS BEST TO MASTER ONE FORM OF TRAFFIC AT-A-TIME.

Don't worry about anonymous postings appearing on this or your blog...UNLESS you have chosen a niche, your website has long been running online, you're regularly earning profits, and your list segmentation is growing.  What I am after at this phase in testing content is feedback.  Feedback helps me/you build blog/website/sub-sites.  If you are experiencing list building where people incoming are interacting with you -- GREAT!  Keep it going.

On this blog, I am developing it as it will tie into independent marketing, but it will include affiliate marketing too.   Keep your efforts going strong if you are moving ahead.  If not...because you may be new to the online realm, and you are either scratching your MLM head,...or you are looking at some of your life passions you've long put on hold, let these ideas sink further into your mind.  Digest slowly.  Online, you can market anything you enjoy most!  Protect your lead lists.  Don't advertise your upline's name.  It does nothing for you. 

  • If you are an independent business, I am building the infrastructure of lesson plans for everyone
  • If you are advanced, you'll be able to whip through these lessons as a "self-check"
  • If you are a beginner or intermediate, you'll be able to go right to the lessons you need most.

Please stay in close touch,and yes..continue posting your comments.  We are about to push the surfers out the door. AND... if you are one who is highly motivated to create your own independent way in the world, WE ARE going to build an amazing group of very powerful, elite marketers...but I want to make sure that we are all operating on same pages.  I don't need to take phone calls from folks who are working from different scripts...or when someone is interested in optimizing his website but has not mastered purchasing preferences of his niche audience...or try to calm down a new person spun up by their network marketing upline. 

The kind of Internet marketing teams that form here will build on natural strengths as you shed light on some talents and abilities you may not know you've had...or if you have identified them, I will learn from you...as you learn from me accordingly.  As we build a network of qualified individuals who yes...want the education...will work for it...will go through certification, we will build a highly qualified team of pros who can offer various services for pay....OR...we will all run our campaigns individually...OR we can work some agreeable combination thereof...based on who does what.  What I need to see is who is who...what you have going online...are you independent yet?...If not, cross-recruiting is NOT what Internet marketers do.  They break into areas of expertise and cross-pollenate.  Does that make sense?  It is the hard-working, dedicated ones who will move forward....and I am sincerely interested in what you have to offer...as we will all be paid leveraging skills other businesses require.

For now, I am submitting quality content to several directories so as to show you how natural traffic (for no $$ down on ads) wins you on-lookers!  Article marketing is very powerful when it is done well.  If that's too basic and you're some advanced SEO guy/gal, I want to know more about you.  For new folks, article marketing positions you online as the expert you must first be....before anything else appears.

Toasting Your Success, Absolutely!
