A good way to organize your marketing efforts is to have a concrete plan. It is an indispensable weapon for the XXI century entrepreneur – and put it into practice it costs zero weight. Like most entrepreneurs, I resisted for a long time to have one, basically because I had seen so far were very complicated. And the more complicated … less useful they are.
Then I found the marketing plan recommended by a colleague, Jay Conrad Levinson, and I immediately realized I had found what I was looking for. In the twenty-first century marketing can no longer do without a tool to guide you. You can not “play by ear.” You can not create advertising campaigns when you need them – you must plan ahead. What’s more, you must write it down.
A good marketing plan is the map you need to guide you through the turbulent waters of today’s market. It shows you what is your goal, and how to get there. It must be brief and easy to understand.
The Jay Conrad Levinson plan has only seven steps. Mine too, but are slightly different from his. Let’s see …
1. Benefits / Bid – The only products and services that are successful are those that offer benefits exceed its costs. You may already know that several years ago, I had an editorial published in London that the only magazine for MLM and direct sales throughout Europe. Each 72-page magazine cost $ 10! However, offered benefits that were higher than the price people paid for it.
Among them are:
• Articles written by trained most successful leaders in the industry;
• industry-specific ads multilevel;
• Success Stories distributors and new businesses;
• Catalog with over 70 resources to help the distributor to be successful with your company;
• News about events and industry in general.
Today we will analyze what to do once you get the letter. First of all let’s clear why you should use some form of direct marketing for your business …
First, it is easier to sell to the customers you already have to go out and find new customers. Within minutes you will learn how to create a new branch of revenue for your business from your existing customers using direct marketing.
Second, keeping in touch with your customers through a direct marketing operation, develop a friendship. And this is a good way to see less affected by the economy are not expecting customers to come to you, but you go to them with your offer. It is also a good way to get more sales from your existing customers.
What is Direct Marketing?
It is a way of marketing your products or services without necessarily having a store. And without doubt, is the surest way to promote your product or service. In contrast ads “image” or campaigns that create brand loyalty – when you always ask for a direct marketing response (usually a purchase) in each of your promotions. So if your phone is not ringing with clients who want to buy, you know immediately that your letter or ad is bad.
Before spending a penny more, you can change it (trying a new owner, a different price, other publications, etc.). Before using it again. What this means is of course not spend a fortune on a bad campaign. First run a small test, evaluate the response, and adjust your campaign according to the analysis. It is the safest and most effective investment when it comes to marketing.
It is also the best way I know to get rich …
The Direct Marketing business I got rich, very rich and can make you too. And all you do to get the results I have obtained, is to emulate what I do. You see, virtually everything can be sold using direct marketing or mail order. So no matter what the product or service you provide can amass a small fortune if you learn how to do effective direct marketing.
The elements you need to make your company’s Direct Marketing …
The life of any business is marketing. If your business, for example, selling shoes, the money it makes does not leave the shoes but the way you sell those shoes. In other words, what matters is not what sells but how it sells.
That “how” is clearly not simply the proper application of marketing techniques. Today many companies spend more than 80% of their time in the creation or updating of products or services and only 20% to market it. That is, focus on the product rather than marketing. Big mistake.
I admit that I belonged to that large percentage. But now I spend a maximum of 10% to the creation of new products and 90% want to apply to marketing to market those products.
The result? Sales have increased dramatically. Just know how to play something called Marketing. We all play this game, we all have the same pieces but very few have been concerned to study and apply the rules to play with an advantage.
The fact is understanding that the money is there, but like everything else, learn the basic rules to win in the field.
As suggested in most cases a niche must be easy and economically feasible. That is, you should be able to reach them easily. If this premise is not met, the project is doomed to failure.
This is important because if you try to do a massive campaign, including television, national newspapers and radio to get, for example, parents with children with learning problems, the waste is enormous and the costs too high. The ideal market niche congregate somewhere; subscribe to a magazine, subscribe to a specific newsletter, belong to associations or specific lists.
Therefore, the target market should be investigated with some thoroughness to find those suitable means. This is known as the three “M’s” of marketing: message, market environment.
For your venture to succeed, consider these three variables. However, the Internet is not always the right medium for all cases. And not always just one medium. Market research will give the answer to all three variables.
Spends much time thinking and trying to find out the most likely answer is within you, or rather within their own area knowledge. You must first make a self-analysis and discover their strengths and weaknesses, what is your specialty, what you do today, what he did before, what is the activity that is enjoyable and spend hours in which without this find it tiring, these are potential business opportunities that you can exploit.
My recommendation is to write down on paper brainstorm all related to something you are doing in the physical world, or has done before or would like to do things and it has not materialized for lack of time or for any reason.
Once you have enough activities that are of interest to begin to establish an order according to their greater preference over and over, set the priority of that list according to their degree of interest. Leave the last 10 ideas he had (if you have reached that amount).
A next step after it has refined its first tentative list to determine which of the topics you do better and which one has more experience. At this point I suggest you stay with a quantity of at most 5 ideas. It is now able to conduct a market survey to help themselves to decide which of these topics should focus its final decision will simply be directed to where the market tells you, because it is the latter who will say if which of the 5 (or less) issues have a better perspective from the commercial point of view.
This strategy can help you decide quickly and avoid business opportunity to come into niches not passionate, because although from the strategic point of view this is not essential, it is, so you can navigate to one hundred percent will always remain motivated, it will make the results obtained are much larger and mostly satisfying.
Whoever finds a solution and has the performance to establish relationships with your target market is big business at hand.

The good of a product, often exaggerated, what to sell more, but a product is always relative to other unfavorable factors. The anti marketing is a marketing strategy that is becoming in vogue, is based on honesty, clarity and objectivity.
Internet business in particular is an exaggerated valuation of a product, it creates new names for old shares with the sole intention of causing profits when these products or techniques can be learned without much expense.
In an environment where people demand respect for human beings and their environment, born anti marketing a type of marketing that is combined with corporate social responsibility, to provide consumers sufficient and timely information of a product.

Many people enter the affiliate marketing with little or no idea of what to do to create a truly successful campaign, or on what are the tools they need and what they do not know is how these mistakes can hurt you. So, let’s look on the 3 reasons for failure in affiliate marketing. If you have previously created campaigns unsuccessfully bet you’ve committed any of these critical errors.
Error # 1: Not fully understand the target niche
“Have you ever wondered what it actually means to target niche? Is not just how much keywords can tell you about the offer or demand for a particular market because it is very wide and within each market sub-markets are broken. The target niche refers both to identify problems of the people who make these niches or sub-markets as well as the need to cover unmet needs.
Once identified it must find the solutions or products to satisfy that niche market and earn huge sums of money. Every time you’re researching a niche is always a good idea to go out and visit different places of books and magazines and see the top principal thereof that face your niche. What this will do is give you a better idea about your market and real needs and concerns.
Once you have this information, sit down and think about your ideal customer. What kind of solution you want? Is the market in which solutions are being fast, cheap, easy, or are looking for something larger and / or higher quality?
To answer these questions, think, for example, about the difference between a casual player and a fan of tennis. The latter is likely to buy almost anything put in front of him, while the former will not invest much in love. Each type of customer represents two different niches, even though fall into the same market category.
Error # 2: Patient on their list of the efforts to consolidate
New affiliates are often especially guilty of this. It’s really a matter of patience. There will a period of effort that will be building your own list of subscribers for the first time and not see many committees. This is the point that many people assume they must be doing something wrong, but that is not the case. It is simply a matter of building momentum. It is important to be patient and avoid the need to leave midway and change everything, as this only puts you further behind!
