The Seven Keys to Success Online

 
  1. "Focus on Marketing"
    If you want to succeed, build a better mousetrap, then work like hell to tell the world about it.  The biggest challenge in business, online or offline, is learning how to reach out to prospects, engage their interest, and turn them into customers.

  2. "Do the Right Things"
    The discipline of Marketing is simply this:
    • Deliver the Right Message
    • To the Right Person
    • In the Right Way
    • At the Right Time


    • Good marketing is not annoying.  The right person needs to get your message, enjoys getting it, and is thankful for getting it in the nick of time.


  3. "What Can Be Measured Can Be Improved"
    Yes, creative inspiration is crucial to marketing success.  But unless you can identify the brilliant ideas from the bombs -- through concrete measurement -- you are not using the  greatest advantage of doing business online.  That is, simply, that everything can be measured in an online business.


  4. "Test Smart"
    Testing is not about "throwing anything up against the wall to see what sticks".  You need to be able to generate and identify good ideas that are worth testing, a financial analysis to predict results and contain risk, a plan to justify the initial effort and long-term payback.  


  5. "Simplicity In All Things"
    The Internet and computers are still far too complex for most mortals.  Bill Gates is famous for saying he will not rest until it is as easy to operate a computer as a refrigerator. The vast majority of Web sites are overbuilt.  Marketing campaigns too complex.  Creative design too busy.  Offers too complicated.  Think of any Internet legend, and you will see simplicity.


  6. "Honor Your Customers"
    The primary key to the success of your business is its relationship with its customers.  Customers are forever.  Once a person parts with their hard-earned cash to do business with you -- based on a marketing promise -- they will never forget the outcome.  Marketing, correctly applied, will help you nurture that relationship, thereby growing your business.


  7. "The Journey is the Destination"
    The journey can be rough or smooth.  Marketing is a discipline, a process by which you continually improve & build relationships with customers.  The rules change with the times; your customers are a moving target.  More than just answers, the eMarketing Guru provides the framework and tools that will keep your business moving forward on an ongoing basis.
