Some random thoughts been going through my mind lately I have been meaning to put down somewhere. Here seems like a good place. Here is some of the things I seem to be saying a lot in emails to people who are asking advice.
Surround Yourself With Other Successful Marketers - You know what they say about success breeding ? Its very true. Surrounding yourself (even if its in instant messanger) with successful people is probably the single biggest step in the right direction of achieving success with internet marketing. Understand Branding - This is huge. Its so important to understand the value of branding. Branding should be one of your biggest concerns. There is a reason most successful online companies have very unique names digg, eBay, Google, Yahoo, etc the list goes on and on. Be original in your brand. Playing off of other peoples brands is lose/lose situation because most of the time they will try to shut you down for infringment or if they dont and you become successful then people will always have brand confusion and you will just drive more people to there site over the long haul. Now with landing pages of course it might make sense to play off of a companys name to look more legitimate/respectable. Anyway understanding branding is super important. Holidays/Events - Wow last Valentines day was huge for us pushing e-greeting cards and other misc Valetines day driven affiliate offers. Always, always prepare for holidays and events. We are starting to see some good search volume now for Tax terms and I suspect this will be pretty big aswell. Awareness of Memes and Current Events - Depending what market you are in you will always want to keep track of what is hot in the news. For Tech niches techcrunch, and perezhilton and CommentsTag:
