Network Marketing

If you have a new product that promises to be one many people will be interested in, it is possible to set up an internet marketing strategy around that product.

Or for the less dynamic individuals you can become a distributor.As a form of marketing this first came into being in the United States about 50 years ago with Amway.With network marketing one can have a network of distributors of a product where you are building a team under you and the larger your team and the more active they are in promoting the product, the more successful you will be.You are basically forming a chain of sales people under you.The payment plans for network marketing companies vary and are set up in different ways.These often are worldwide affairs.

Email Marketing

One can use email marketing to promote and advertise their product.

There are companies that have leads that they have generated by surveying people or getting opt-in lists where people are interested in a particular product.One can email to these leads or have a service do it for you.Today due to the amount of spam generated, one has to use judgment and discretion so as not to be involved in spamming.Email has probably lost a good amount of its effectiveness due to this aspect, however email marketing is still a way that one can get his message out there about his product or service.

Viral Marketing

The concept of viral marketing is to get people to pass along information about a product or service and by word of mouth spread it far and wide.

In the past this was mainly by providing a sample.Today it includes things like videos, ebooks or text messages.The word viral is related to the word virus with the same concept of spreading like a virus.The idea in terms of the internet is to get it to spread from computer to computer.It is another successful tool one can use to advertise.

Internet marketing has advantages of being able to get your product known at minimal expense or with any budget you see fit.As long as you see the results of your efforts that is what counts.You also have ways to track how your efforts are doing and adjust them so they are doing better such as with the use of Google Analytics.

So the world is really open to you if you put your nose to the grindstone and get to work promoting and learning all there is to know about internet marketing.Most people do not stick with it long enough or make the needed effort to start making the money they desire on the internet, but there is really no such thing as failure, only an insufficient push through to success despite what some or even many may tell you.
