“Waiting for future funds” – you know I can’t recall a time when those elusive future funds ever materialized. It’s more a lame excuse to do nothing. It’s those same folks who run one ad and state that advertising doesn’t work. These types of businesses look for those convenient whipping posts to blame their inaction on.

Classic stupid.

The if they build it, they will come is so true Ed Roach. I’ve had numerous clients with that mentality. Mainly they just don’t understand how it works. I’ve even had clients who understand just building it wont guarantee traffic, but they don’t want to take effort into building their online marketing presence. It’s almost a waste to build the site if you don’t plan to market the site. They always say in the future when funds happen I will spend the time, but you have to start from day 1.

I’m afraid Krishna that many people are still of the belief that if they build it, they will come. I can’ t recall the number of times I have to explain to people that they must take an active role in their web presence. That not unlike traditional marketing, results are not going to be had with one exposure. They must be consistent and patient.

Take blogging. I’d say it took me about a year and a half before I got my first client as a result of blogging. Publicity came sooner. The person’s request in your pull quote is typical – “what’s fast and easy?” I think this attitude is fed online by those exaggerated sales letters that speak to quick money. SEO, PPC, banner ads, article selling and a host of other avenues all do their part, but a persistent attention to your marketing initiatives is key.

Take myself, I’ve given myself a two year goal of building an opt-in mailing list of 5,000. This is supported by coordinated efforts, all cross referenced. I don’t believe there is any true, fast and easy way. Some do get lucky, but it’s not the norm.

The main thing is, you’ll never get there if you don’t jump on. I view the web as a massive expanding of my potential market.

The quickest way to get to the top of the search engine results pages is to use a site map to tell them where you are. When I started using one on my site at survivor.com, it became the top result and had links to multiple pages below it. I’ve started to write about these techniques on my blog at http://www.walton.com.

Site maps rock.

Online marketing is a big thing and definitely a must for companies to expand. The amount of people on the internet is massive and thus is a good thing.

and without that online marketing, a huge opportunity is lost, given that so much targeted search takes place online, via google. people everyday are looking for solutions, so it pays to find a way to reach out to these people.
