What’s On My Web Marketing List…

Author: Charlie Cook   |   August 28th, 2007

I’m big on making lists and then using them to guide what I do so I can make the most with the least amount of effort. I’m not lazy, it’s just that I want to get my work done so I can move on to the next project or get out the office door at 5:30 and get in some exercise before dinner.

When I built my first web site back in the late ’90s I had a short Internet marketing list. It included:

* Launch web site
* Get traffic
* Make money.

Look familiar?

I love short lists but if you’ve tried doing the above three things you discovered that there is more to successful web marketing. You can’t just launch your web site and expect to flood your site with traffic. And even if you have a flood of traffic it doesn’t mean your site will generate more than a trickle of sales. Right?

When I launched my first site I knew that traffic was one of the keys to making money but the trickle of visitors my site initially received was painful to watch. So what’d I do?

You guessed it. I made a list. I made a list of the most effective ways to generate traffic. Then item-by-item I went through the list and tested each idea until my site was getting hundreds of thousands of visitors a month.

Online traffic is money and I sold my second site within 18 months of launching it for four times the cost of the average home or close to a million.

That was over seven years ago and ever since I’ve been identifying the most effective ways to get traffic to your site and to convert it into cold hard cash. Here’s what’s on my current web marketing list:

1. Give people the products and information they want to market their business online and offline so they become even more successful. I’m not into trying to sell people, but I do like helping people.

2. Build long-term win-win relationships with clients. I don’t want to just sell a customer a one-time solution but to be your long-time marketing go to guru.

3. Use my website to build a massive list of qualified prospects. When I add 20% more people to my list that directly translates into 20% more income or more money I can spend on my family or on ski trips.

4. Stay-in-touch with prospects and clients. I get tons of great feedback from my readers, but what would happen if I stopped emailing you? My sales would fall like a stone.

5. Continue to increase the conversion rates at every step in the web marketing process. Whether you’re a math wiz or not you know that if you add 10% here, 20% there and 15% elsewhere in the process it has a cumulative effect. Multiply these and you can easily increase your sales 50% or more. (One client – tactic by tactic – increased sales by 1500%.)

That’s my short list of web marketing goals.

What’s on your web marketing list?

If you have a list of web marketing goals that’s a start, but goals alone won’t pay for your new car or vacation home. The next step is to move from goals to action and to results. Want to know how to do that online?

To get results online you need to know which traffic and sales generating tactics work and how to apply them. Use this link to find out how which web site marketing tactics work >>

What’s the information you want to grow your online sales?

The questions I get from people fall into the following five groupings. See if these are the ones you’ve been asking yourself.

1. How do I make money with my website?
2. What’s the best way to get tons of traffic to my site?
3. How do I grow my list of qualified prospects like crazy?
4. How can I use email to skyrocket my sales?
5. Once I get people to my site how do I convert prospects to buyers?
6. Who can I trust to help me grow my online sales?

If you’ve been asking yourself one or more of these Use the following link to get the answers to your website marketing >>

Whether you’re a list maker or not, it makes sense to find out what works to grow your business online. When you know which tactics to use you’ll attract more prospects, more buyers and more sales.

    hmmm… i am just about to launch my site and your comments are very useful.

    i was wondering when you design a site do you rely on market research or stick to your own goals as i have people giving me advice from every direction – who do i listen to?
    thanks – victoria

    hi – i am going to be launching my site soon but have many people giving me loads of advice and dont know who to listen to. one guy says make the product perfect get lots of focus groups to test it and then offer it to advertisers – but i think its just best to get it online and proove to advertisers that it successful due to the amout of hits – i am confused – should i just stick to my own plans

  3. Charlie Cook Says:

    The internet is a great focus group itself. Stick to your plans or get help from an expert.

    Perhaps 2 of the key success ingredients to web marketing success might be to follow up and follow through.

    Even if you manage to get a joint venture done with a person with a large email list, there’s still a need to continue to market your products via email and even offline, if you have the resources to do so.

    Persistence is key.

    Happiness & Success to All!
