Worst Marketing Advice Ever

I just read an article about getting visitors to your website.

And one of the Top Tips was this:

["Buy a Baby Name Book. By going through the names in the book it may spark a thought of someone you know with that name that you can contact and direct them to your site."]

THAT’S JUST TERRIBLE!

If anyone reading this followed that advice, turn your face red… now!

The Life of an Internet Marketer

It’s tough

Requires a lot of self-control

Can sometimes get hard working with no co-workers

But it never gets dull and is totally worth it

Back To Pen And Paper

I’m writing this first on lined paper, with a real pen. How old fashioned.

My laptop is turned off, my wifi is left floundering around bouncing from wall to wall, and I’m hunched over my desk, pen in hand, feeling very much like Bob Cratchit.

But my productivity has increased tenfold!

I used to mess about online it seems, doing things I THOUGHT were productive, like checking stats and conducting research and searches. But my writing output has been painfully low.

Only when I was on a trip to Edinburgh without my laptop, and with my iPhone battery dead, did I grab the pad and get scribbling.

My handwriting is apalling, but I only need to read it for about a day until I type it up, and that is super quick [like 4 minutes for 1 article].

If you haven’t already, grab some lined paper, a pen, and your keyword list, and get going!

If the same happens to you, with productivity shooting through the roof, let me know!

The Skills You Need To Be A Master Internet Marketer

This is from EarlyToRise:

1) A good understanding of why and how people buy things.
2) The ability to make a big, tempting promise.
3) The skill to show that promise as a picture, to advance it with propositions
and to support those propositions with proof.
4) The ability to distinguish between features and benefits.

What would you add to the list? I’d add 2.5) The ability to follow up on your big, tempting promise…

I think #1 is the most important
