Internet Marketing Can Be Achieved At Any Age

This is an article I have published about 2 years ago. so why am I posting it here and now. Well, the last few weeks I am getting people talking to me about becoming affiliates and I say YES! Internet marketing fits to any age. Enjoy the article:

Anyone can learn internet marketing regardless of their age or expertise. All you need is a good marketing plan, and know how to go about executing it.

Whether you're still in school, are looking for a new career or are coming out of retirement, if you plan on selling anything on the Net or starting your own online business, you need to know how to market.

You don't need a degree in marketing to achieve online success. However, you do need an online marketing plan to help define your business and promote it.
Any marketing strategy plan begins with four essential components and builds from there. The four components are:

1. Identify your business
2. Know your target market
3. Research your plan
4. Know your budget

Let's take a closer look at each of these internet marketing starting points:

* Identify your business – You need to figure out what your business is all about before you can begin marketing it. This means knowing:
* The types of products or services you intend to sell
* The global area you intend to market too (IE. worldwide, within your country, within your region)
* Who your competitors are and how they promote their business
* How you intend to promote your business
* How you will distribute the products and/or services you intend to sell
* Know your target market – you need to know who you are marketing your business too. You need to understand that your products or services will not appeal to everyone. Therefore, distinguish who your target audience is by:
* Deciding the demographic that you would appeal to the most (IE, age, gender, social status, etc.)
* Knowing the types of shop habits your audience would have (I.E. where do they shop, what do they read, listen to, watch, etc.)
* Knowing what your prospective customers would value most about the product or service you are selling (IE. affordability, originality, convenience, reliability, etc.)
* Knowing what aspects about your product or service will least appeal to your target market. Is there some way you can change these negative aspects to better meet the needs of your customers?
* Knowing if your product could appeal to more than one target market
Research your plan – you need to do some marketing research before you dive head first into promoting you business. Educate yourself on:
* The many internet marketing methods that prove to be effective (IE press releases, sales pages, seo marketing, trafficking, e-newsletters, ezine articles, affiliation, etc.)
* Upcoming marketing methods you may be able to use to attract new clients
* Different methods that will allow you to test any marketing ideas you may have
* The competitions marketing methods
* The marketing method you can use now
* How to measure the results you generate from the different marketing techniques you use (IE. you can download different tracking software)
Know your budget – You need to know how much you have to work with before you jump head first into marketing your business. Here are things to think about:
* The cost of every customer
* The cost of running your business compared to the sales you'll generate
* The percentage of revenue you can assign to your marketing plan
* Find out the different marketing plans that will accommodate your budget

An internet marketing plan is how you will establish the best focus so you can be more successful when you begin promoting your business. You will discover that marketing online isn't difficult to do once you have a goal and utilize every marketing method available to you. However, it does take experience to gain success. Therefore, be patient, be prepared to change your techniques, and always keep your customers best interests in mind.

Friday night thoguhts

Many people asking us how come we are progressing so fast. Growing in 100% a month is not something you see often in today’s market. It is Friday 10:20 PM and I thought why are we so successful. What makes us so different? Yeh, we have a unique technology but still everyone has their own unique technology. Then I understood. The answer is already made just above in this paragraph. It is 10:20 and I am sitting in front of the computer thinking what else we can do to keep on growing, how the business can expand and produce better results. Sounds simple, well it is all about the team. We are result oriented meaning we are all around the clock. We are a small, quality and unique team that produces great results. I can call any of the team at any time. We are almost 24/7 live and this is what makes us one of the best teams you can find.

It is almost sounds like I am pitching for new employees. Well first I am not but I anyone is reading the above and saying I am a hard worker, a team player and think he can really contribute to us then yes, I would be happy to talk to him. So feel free, my phone/email is always open for you.

Well, these are my thoughts for Friday night. Enjoy the weekend!

Getting read for CAP Spring Break in Cyprus

Sometimes I wonder myself, do we need all these events. There are a few big events in London, Amsterdam and Barcelona but do we need the Macau, Moscow, Cyprus, Montreal?! Don’t get me wrong, although we work very hard in these events we are loving our job so we enjoy the events themselves but having an event then 2 months rest then another event etc’ sometimes seems to be too close to each other. But think about it, some of them get 1,000 people, can you really meet 1,000 people in 2-3 days? Even crazy people as us who have over 100 meetings every conference can’t really meet them all so we do have an advantage of the new people in different occasions.

So after putting our thoughts, we are going to be there (it is our business…), nothing can hurt to have some sun (will we have it?! ;) ), meeting more people in a completely different environment, more casual, more happy people over tequilas. If you want to meet with us please email info [ at ] b4playing.com.

See you next month!

Almost at 50,000 users

I was sitting at 10pm, looking at the progress we had the last few months and I suddenly realized wow we are progressing fast enough. Numbers are progressing and we are going to cross the 50,000 users for the B4Playing tool. The feedback we are getting from affiliates and players is amazing. Our system and our amazing support is bringing our success. Looking back to the days where we sat at different coffee shops worldwide to the today point – I am blown away.

The success belongs to the players, affiliates and the B4Playing awesome team!
