“A marketer is nothing without an audience;
effectively, that audience must be hungry”

How would you define your marketing message?
Is it presented clearly, precisely, and to the right mindset?
Your strategies, your marketing efforts, your programs all require one main
consistent element to be effective. It is a simple word that most do
not understand, and consequently, blame other factors for failure.
What is that word?

COMMUNICATION

Marketing anything is simply communication.
All businesses, to be successful, require communication
whether internally or externally. As an internet marketer you prepare words
every day to get a message out. Whether you use the social markets,
prepare videos, write in blogs or articles or prepare ads,
it is extremely important that your words communicate.

Your audience is fickle, limited in attention and expect to be “WOWED”!
(I find this shallow but unfortunately this is what our society has been reduced to)

There was a time where people actually read, digested,
and then replayed information. An article came out in the paper and once read,
we would actually communicated with friends, family or coffee-shop goers
regarding this idea, opinion, report. We would express our insights,
right or wrong, and engage in debate.

What Is A Newspaper?

This act took time, effort, understanding and the ability to communicate
our thoughts back. If our opinion was not understood, we had to reformulate
these words to be understood. We also had to listen to the others express
theirs to determine if our thoughts were valid,
then determine which direction to take.

Now days, information is available everywhere and it takes on less seriousness,
less validity because of this abundance that we skim, we peruse,
we scan, we highlight a word here or there, and then make up our minds.
This is one main reason that I believe ignorance has grown into our
greatest commodity; we lack the drive to research and understand.

Communication in sound-bites, in headlines or sub-heads, in passing
only makes us weaker in formulating the messages we want others to hear.
Now, if our videos do not have babies dancing, cats swinging from fan blades,
or a man being impaled in the groin, we are not as popular.

A Commodity Of Use

This makes communication a much different commodity,
one that if effective in fleeting moments, is a winner,
but if not of interest than a lost opportunity.

Internet marketing is special due to the viral elements associated
with computer uses. Millions are online every day, searching;
some for entertainment while others for answers.
The ethics of marketing are eroding just as fast. It is a ‘play-station’ environment,
an ‘i-phone’ quick-shot capture, a flashing billboard; mostly missed.

If your words are not the brightest light, the most outrageous or ludicrous,
you are passed over. Professional ethics takes a back seat to outlandish.
I will contend that our people need leadership; someone to follow, understand,
communicate ideas with, to improve. Take the high road in your marketing,
your communications, to become the better attraction marketer in your niche.

For a missed opportunity could change your future, immediately;
acting on an idea has immediate returns as well.

that the ears are on and the mouth is muted”

In an earlier post, we looked at 5 reasons for using Articles to drive traffic to
your website. These 5 reasons were (in no particular order);
Define the Expert, Inexpensive Longtime Work, Resource Box Use, Longevity and, Back-Links.

Each of these benefits are important so with this post, let’s break down into more detail
one of these 5 for a clearer understanding. In particular, we will discuss the Resource Box.

Why is the Resource Box of your articles so important for driving traffic to your website?

• At the bottom of every article you want to utilize a powerful gift;
  the Resource Box.

There are 2 main ways in which to utilize this area; one is to continue with the training or
idea within your article by sending the reader to your site, the second, by sending
the reader to a specific page of your site to capture their information.

In your chosen niche, your site is the focal point where visitors see your banners, ads,
marketing message regarding the product(s) you want them to purchase. These visitors have
an interest in this niche, that is why they read your article and clicked to your site,
now it is your desired action for them to make a purchase.

When you write an article and place your blog in the Resource Box it is because you have
further in-depth information for them to access. Your blog may have more detail on
the product; a video that goes into clarifications, or other form of information
that the reader can use to improve their decision making.

The Resource Box can be laid out to promote this action. Simply by stating within
the Resource Box, “for further information” or “if you want to learn more
specific information” or “see our video demonstration” as a way for the
CALL-TO-ACTION to be effective.

You are telling the reader that you have more information to offer them to better their
decision making process, to further educate them on why you know what you are talking
about. This process works wonders when the readers of your article is not familiar with
you yet but is curious about the information you provided.

You want to plan this strategy out and formulate it correctly by doing an in-depth
article on your blog that covers your information clearly and precisely and then prepare
3-5 articles that speak about a portion of the post. By creating several articles that
breaks down to smaller, general informative data, then direct the readers to your
blog for the whole picture really provides value. Submit these articles to 1, 2 or 3
different directories so that readers are approaching your website from several
outside locations to further their education.

Very effective!

If you are promoting a specific program, product or service and this is what your article
is regarding, setting up a specific page on your website to send them via the Resource Box
is a good strategy. On this page you can place the reviews, the material ads, the video,
everything you want to incorporate into the promotion so that the article viewer has it there.

In addition, you want to make sure that you have a way to capture their names and emails
on this page so you can further communicate with them over time. Once the article reader is
curious and clicks on your link, they are shown the one page that has the ad copy,
pictures and pertinent information for the purchase.

Article marketing is a powerful resource and you should have it as one of your foundational
strategies in marketing. The power of the Resource Box goes without saying: it is the
CALL-TO-ACTION element. You are directing the readers that have any interest,
a curiosity, the desire to purchase by this action.

Your site then is set up to create the sale, the intended purpose. Your second most reliable
resource is the Resource Box of the article to get them to your store front;
the first is to provide quality information. Do not discount this element and make
sure you make the text within the Resource Box act as a
continuational component of the article.

Determine beforehand the articles purpose; informative to get visitors to inform them
further, or, information to get purchasers. The Resource Box must be set up to accomplish
this as much as your site must be set up to receive the visitors for your
CALL-TO-ACTION within your article.

It just isn’t enough to tout a product, service or program.
It requires a self belief and a willingness to assist others.
They may not want your product, service or program at the moment of
seeing it for the first time so you have to explain the;
who, what, why and how to open their eyes and still there is no guarantee.

Nothing in this world comes easy but if you have a strong desire, a true belief,
then missing one prospect or several won’t matter. There will be plenty more to
come along which means if you fall off the horse once, is not failure.

It is about getting back on and riding onward.

To look deeper within, the marketer requires an inner comfort.
Being comfortable with what you have to offer is a major step for if you TRULY BELIEVE,
your creative genius will come forth and others will see it. If you have limiting self belief,
it will be telegraphed within all you do and say.
We humans can pick up on these subtleties. Sure there are some
that just say no and most that do just aren’t ready for YOU.

Mark Victor Hansen was on our training tonight, a fantastic webinar.
One of the many things he stated was, “If you can’t sell you can’t lead”.
And what he meant was believing in yourself first and acting on this belief
with undeniable conviction will position you in a leadership role.

It does not matter that you don’t think that you can lead, today,
but what matters is that you strive each day to improve.

To improve oneself requires several shifts;

• A mind-set of conviction
• A willingness to complete
• The knowledge to be competent
• Strong mentorship
• Building a team of like-minded individuals
• A willingness to serve with strength
• Tools to accomplish the tasks

If you are just beginning the online marketing game, whether you are
promoting a product, someone else’s product, a service or a program,
it is necessary that your mind-set be focused. To go at it alone will prove to be
extremely difficult because all of us require some form of appreciation and direction.
As Yogi Bera stated, “If you don’t know where you are going, you won’t get there.”

If you have a strong mentor then now is the time to grill them with questions on direction.
If they are unwilling to provide you answers or ways in which you can obtain them,
you need a new mentor.
If you are not finding like-minded people to work with you, find those that are.
And be diligent in searching this out.

Internet marketing is very strange in the sense that there are so many that ARE
willing to assist, to direct and you just can’t wait for them. You will have to take action;
to find the knowledge, the tools, the assistance necessary to keep moving forward.
You will have to read, research, scrounge, dig in the dirt to find what works well.
You will have to become “Angered into Action”.
This will only come from within you because that type of conviction
can’t be bought in a bottle, found in the supermarket, or on a self-help tape.

You are in control of your destiny and only you can decide to pursue it.

Here at Eagle Flight Marketing Group, we strive each and every day to assist marketers
find their creative side, let it loose and allow it to expand. We are able to provide
the correct tools to market anything in our Winning Leads System.
It is through this training that you gather the knowledge to know what to do
and how and where to apply this knowledge.

Ultimately positioning you as the leader in your niche.

It is time to look deep within, determine what your own stimulus plan is
and how you will work it. There are no handouts coming so find your
boot straps, grip them firm and pull ‘em up. We can work together starting today
to improve your marketing efforts, develop your marketing message and
deliver it correctly. Place your information in the form at the
top left of this page and lets work it together.

Are You In The Mood And Ready For Your Future?
