Can You Be Your Own Internet Marketing Specialist?
June 19, 2009 by 1Cat.biz · Leave a Comment
The role of an internet marketing specialist is to drive traffic to a website and to assist with the improvement of conversion rates – converting website visitors to buyers. Some individuals are good at driving traffic and others are good at creating web copy that closes sales. In order to be a full-service internet marketing specialist, you really have to have the skill to do both because enormous amounts of traffic doesn’t matter a bit if that traffic does not result in revenue.
Even so, different people have different talents and one person’s gifts may complement another’s. So, if you have strong skills in one area and not the other, you may need to work with an internet marketing specialist whose strengths compensate for your weaknesses and vice versa. Sometimes an internet marketing team achieves much more than any internet marketing specialist could do alone.

List building is largely about building relationships. What better way to start than to give them something of value? Just make sure that you get something valuable in return. When it comes to marketing online, there’s nothing more valuable than your subscribers.
List building is to get people to your website. Every network allows you to set up a page that tells something about you. People on the network will check out this page to learn more about you. So have a link to your website and include some information about you and your business. Make the space interesting by personalizing it. Add some photographs or customize the background. Be yourself, be distinct and provide good info. This will encourage more visitors to check out your website. List building through social networking takes time, it shouldn’t be viewed as a one-time event. Participate in social media every day as one of your internet marketing strategies. The best way to use social media for list building is to provide great content so that people come to you, asking for more information, looking for your website. Then you have built some rapport with them and when they see your opt-in box they are much more likely to say yes.

Not two weeks ago I had a chat with someone (an SEO) about some online media buying and although the figures made an infinite amount of sense (6 figure monthly page views – prime location banner purchase for less than £90 per month!), he said, “but there is no SEO value from the banner link” (it was JavaScript)! Astonished, I spent the next hour arguing the case for buying the coverage, but it would seem that the majority of SEOs just don’t see the value of applying traditional marketing techniques to the web – they just don’t “fit” into the SEO mindset.
