INTERNET MARKETING, WHERE DO I START - Tuesday, 15th July, 2008
This is a subject, which a large number of internet entrepreneurs are unsure of. Marketing is a vital part of any business, in fact a website is worthless unless the website itself has been successfully marketed and attracts customers. In typical kiwi fashion, I have taken this problem and created a practical solution. Below is a script I have written to help you market on the internet. To make this script work, paste the below code into notepad. When saving the file, select All files and save as marketing.html. Open marketing.html in firefox and follow the guide. I am not promising 1000 hits within the first hour, however you have done the right steps towards building up a successful website.
CODE STARTS HERE

<td><div align="justify">Ok so firstly you will need to register for a google account, msn live account and a yahoo account. This is required to submit your site map. To get to the respective search engines click here: <a href="#" class="style1" onClick="return searching();">Search Engines</a>. Each section is self explanatory, basically submit a site map, verify your website etc... So now that we have registered your website with search engines, you need to get some links. The easy and lazy way to do it is to click here: <a href="#" class="style1" onClick="return directory();">New Zealand Directory Websites</a>. Submit your website with a creative blurb. It is a good idea to create a blurb/brief description in Microsoft Word before commencing, I'd say around 250 word is sufficient. Got any products to sell? We'll why don't get get a head start and list your products on a number of well known New Zealand auctions and trade websites, most of them are free: <a href="#" class="style1" onClick="return auction_trade();">Auction And Trade Websites</a>. Now lastly, you want to start writting great articles and submit these articles to blogs found on the internet. Try to submit atleast 1 blog a day to:
<span class="style2"><a onClick="return blog();" href="#">Popular Blog Websites</a></span>. So there you have it, 4 easy steps which can be done in within 4 hours.</div></td>

</html>CODE ENDS HERE
So now that you have completed the 4 easy steps, it is up to you to find customers. I am a believer that sometimes you need to go out and get your customers, instead of waiting for your customers to find you. Try e mailing old friends, family, ex work mates or anyone you can think of who would benefit from your products and services. Also do not be afraid to step out your door and visit new people, maybe pay a local retailer a visit. Remember marketing is a trial and error game, some things work while others do not. Keep dreaming up new ways to market and take action. I have also linked all directories to my website through the webpage http://www.yourturn.co.nz/link
