Digg it UP - Top 5 tips for Marketing Your Real Products in Our Virtual World
Working online is becoming an increasingly popular option that people consider when looking at a career change.Internet jobs certainly exist and gone are the days when an online career simply meant getting paid to answer emails, stuffing envelopes and things of that nature that most of us wisely ignored.These days, you can work online and make a good income. Rather than discussing the ways that you can legitimately earn money online – and there are plenty of good Internet resources that already do that – I think it would be more valuable to discuss the realities of working online based on what I’ve seen and learned during my 2 years of experience working on the Internet.There are way too many get rich quick schemes on the Internet and like the old adage says, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Here are my tips for working online: 1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Yes, I just mentioned it above but it’s worth mentioning again. If you
2. Make it crisp and sharp. Clear, sharp images on a website are a must. It’s better to not have an image at all than to have one that is fuzzy, blurry, under lit, or over exposed. Remember, your produ
1. Make your ecourse short like 5 - 7 days. The longer the ecourse easy for your subscriber to forget the matter of your previous emails.2. Use double opt-in follow up autoresponders to stop accusitions of spam.http://www.scripts4webmasters.com/arpproadv/index.shtml3. Write one ecourse to promote only ONE product. If you keep ten product links in your ten day email course, it will look like a compiled sales letters.4. If you are using affiliate links in your ecourse use some method to hide your affiliate links.http://www.webmasters-central.com/t/siteprotection/affiliatelinks.shtml5. Try to keep brief synopsis of previous emails. For example, in fourth day email keep few lines about what he received for the past three days.6. If you have a trial product or free demo, offer
Image is Everything
You’ve heard it said – image is everything. And, it is. However, for product based business owners, that “image” is influenced by the images. That’s right – the product images that you have on your website! Just like brick and mortar business, you must put your products in the best possible light. How do you do that? Consider our brick and mortarcounterparts.
1. Staging – every product in a retail brick and mortar store is carefully placed. The “stage” is set. There may be suggested accessories strategically placed near the product itself, or there may be “decorative” elements – such as when a home d?cor company exhibits a vase with flowers inside. We all know that the flowers don’t (usually) come with the vase. But, it puts you, as the consumer, in the right frame of mind. Even in jewelry stores, you will see this example – there are small flowers, loose gemstones and more in the velvet-lined cases. That is another example of setting the stage; making the entire image a “feast for the eyes” will do wonders for your sales.

My name is Edwenia Blake and I am 34 years old, engaged to an awesome young man and have a beautiful 6month old baby girl, Ava Amelia. However, it occurred to me that the masses of people are experiencing a world separation, or rather, the world divide. For example, in the future, there will no longer be a middle class, that would have once existed on our social stratification. There will be, at best, the rich and the poor, so you will either have money, and live or have no money, and die. Is there a way out? Yes. Free-Enterprise, the best kept secret and one of the most powerful money making vehicles around. For example, you can work a job and earn a living or you can build an enterprise and create a legacy. I spent 10 years working for some of the greatest companies in the world. For example, IBM and Sprint Corporation, but I was still not satisfied. Because at the end of the day, I found that my time was truly not mine. Finally, I made a bold decision to take control of my life and began bui

The phrase itself is attributed to O’Reilly media, the company who coined it in 2003. Subsequently, the first Web 2.0 conference, which was held in 2004, brought it into widespread public consciousness. A series if conferences hosted by O’Reilly media has made the term even more popular than ever and facilitated the adoption of it by many industry pundits. The term as it has come to be used by O’Reilly media, refers to what many in the Internet industry perceive to be the second wave of Web-based communities and hosted services, following the first wave of communities which flourished during the initial Internet boom. These web sites encompass social networking sites, wiki sites and folksonomies-all of which share the trait of encouraging and facilitating content collaboration and sharing among its many users.Perhaps some of the confusion surrounding the use of the tem Web 2.0 stems from the fact that it does not actually signify a change or an update to the technical specification of the World

Mystery shopping is pervading the market research practice confidently and decisively. Emerging as a mechanism to check consumer satisfaction with retail services and check on employees’ performance, mystery shopping is now an acknowledged practice in the airline, car service, dining, and banking industries. Companies are rushing to hire mystery shoppers to check if their staff is helpful to customers and loyal to employers.Mystery shopping, however, is not a way to trick or punish employees, but rather a means to measure the efficiency of the customer service they provide. Mystery shopping is a flexible and inexpensive method to boost consumer satisfaction with company services and to ultimately increase sales.Many companies have established mystery shopping services to recruit secret shoppers for their partner companies. Some have questioned the reliability of these services, as the findings that mystery shoppers report largely depend on their value-judgment and unique perspective. How
2. Make it crisp and sharp. Clear, sharp images on a website are a must. It’s better to not have an image at all than to have one that is fuzzy, blurry, under lit, or over exposed. Remember, your product images are meant to entice your potential customers. And, if they aren’t clear, your potential customers can just as easily find another virtual store that has clear pictures.
Sweat the Small Stuff
Unlike virtual products, such as e-books or software, or services such as virtual assisting, web design, or computer programming, you must creatively include every single detail that the customer may notice in the real world in the description of your product in the virtual marketplace. Even if you think that it’s obvious.
Let us give you an example. Dee has silver and gold jewelry on her website. Months ago, there was a customer who ordered, but, when she received her product, she realized that the product had 14 KT gold accents (rather than silver accents – which is what she wanted). The picture was (in Dee’s opinion) clear enough to show 14 KT gold accents – so she didn’t include it in the description. But, it wasn’t clear to the customer. Even if you aren’t in doubt, include the details (even the obvious ones)! Your customers will thank you for it.
That “small stuff” can make or break your product based business in the virtual marketplace! Don’t leave anything to chance or to the customer’s interpretation. Graphic
