How To Overcome Your Internet Marketing Failure And Instantly Turn It Into A Huge Success Overnight
By Jaz
If you are just starting out on your Internet marketing journey, you may be finding it more confusing and perplexing than you expected. One of the worst sources of confusion is the terminology! You are swamped with technical jargon that nobody bothers to explain to you. You may be wondering how you will ever learn the way, because it seems as if you have to learn a whole new language before you can even grasp the basic tools of the trade!

But the technical terms are only the beginning. The biggest problem is that every day you are bombarded with schemes, scams and strategies, all claiming to be the ultimate way to get rich quick. And at first you believe them, because you assume these people know better than you do. So you go with every scheme that comes along, hoping that this will be the big one.

But this is not the way. It is no good expecting these people to tell you how to succeed. All they are interested in is getting you to buy their product. You need to figure out for yourself what the factors are that will lead you to success.

First and foremost this will involve having your own web site. This is the only way you can have your personal presence on the Internet. And then

Google Ads Do Not 'Pop Up'
Those who know me all to well are aware of my irritating resistance to the word "pop up" in connection with Google AdWords ads.That was one of my many suggested corrections to a recent story on Google ads over at The Register, for example.My take is that slipping the term "pop up" in journalistic pieces about Google (as in, "and for only a dollar or so, Mr. Neufeldt's ad would pop up on Google when searchers typed the words 'truck tires'...") is part of an ongoing, insidious campaign by sellers <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956033"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956033" border="0"/></a></div>
YouTube Copyright "Fair Deal" Methodology
Stale news, but interesting:Jeremy Toeman received a notice from UMG regarding his posting of a video on YouTube that included copyrighted content (U2's Beautiful Day) in the background. The offer from the copyright owner, facilitated through YouTube, basically said, go ahead and leave the video up if you wish, but we'll be showing advertising on it.To some this might sound heavy-handed; to others, a nice compromise. I tend to think the latter. As Toeman writes, "I'm basically being encouraged b <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956032"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956032" border="0"/></a></div>

Revenge of the Straw Man Argument: Jarvis Unhinged
Jeff Jarvis, apparently writing a book called What Would Google Do?, must have Michel Foucault spinning delightedly in his grave, as he has just discovered post-modernity! Jarvis asserts that "the Internet" is what "... opens up creativity past one-size-fits-all mass measurements and priestly definitions."I understand that as a journalism professor whose job apparently hinges on the lucrative current trade in old-media-bashing, Jarvis sort of has to say this stuff. "Curmudgeons" don't get invite <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300836331"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300836331" border="0"/></a></div>
Google Street View: showing us what we may or may not want to see
I?m typing this post from my basement. Yep, I?m holed up here with bottles of water, canned tuna and powdered milk ? everything I?ll need to survive the Apocalypse. I can only assume Judgment Day is upon us, given the new low human contact recently hit when Google employee Michael Weiss-Malik proposed to his girlfriend using Google Street View. We?re all probably familiar with Google?s kitschy new gadget now ? you know, the one that essentially combines Google Maps wit <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300307737"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300307737" border="0"/></a></div>
Example SearchMonkey Deployment
So basically, what SearchMonkey does is allow publishers to push their customized content look and feel right into the Yahoo Search results. Well, not push, actually, but make available, based on open formats. So for users who opt into the widget for any given company's rich content, if the listing for that content comes up in search results, custom look-and-feel info included. So if it's a Yelp review, you get a bit of the Yelp "richness, look, and feel" right on Yahoo.When I search for "g h jo <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=299322737"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=299322737" border="0"/></a></div>
Linkworthy: Yahoo and Searchmonkey Progress
Linkworthy for a Friday:Yahoo is now automatically enabling formatted Yelp, LinkedIn, and Yahoo Local results via its SearchMonkey rich data / open formats platform. I'm a big fan of SearchMonkey and happy to see Yahoo forging ahead with it. P.S. Yahoo should acquire Yelp and LinkedIn.This dude is dumping Outlook for web-based email. Welcome to the club, finally!

you have to learn how to drive traffic to it. You will find that almost everyone who has seriously succeeded has done it this way.

But it is not a formula. You don't just arrive at success. You have to work out your own journey. Here are three of the main guiding "posts" along the way.

PLANNING
It's easy to plunge into your own marketing venture without having a clear idea where you are going. (Especially if you are trying out all the schemes that people try to sell you!) Don't even start until you have decided exactly what you want to do, what product you are going to sell and how you are going to sell it.

If you start out on a journey without a map, you will get sidetracked or lost or both!

PROMOTION
Note: this is about "promoting" not "pushing". Pushing puts people off.

Find ways of letting people know about your product and how good it is, without a blatant sales pitch. If you don't have a lot of money to spend, one of the best ways is to write articles and submit them to directories. Put in plenty of solid information and include your web site link in the last paragraph. This will drive traffic to your site - and traffic equals profit.

PRODUCT
You can have the best plan and the best promotion strategies in the world, but if you don't have the right product, you are wasting your time. The "right" product means one that people want to buy. It doesn't matter how good it a product is - if nobody wants it, you won't sell it.

So how do you find out what people want to buy? One way is to look at the top searched keywords in search engines and on online auction sites. Another way is to go to forums and see what questions people are asking. One of the most effective ways is to visit bookstores and look at magazines and journals. See what ads people are placing and what really sells.

All this takes effort. But there is no magic carpet. Follow the right guiding posts on your journey and you will reach your destination - success!
