The most straight forward marketing advice that applies to ANY industry! entrepreneur how earn by blogging blog

This is going to be super short and to the point...My current company doubled our revenue from last month to nearly 30k this month after continuing to optimize our marketing channels. I only mention that so you guys take this simple post seriously. Are you ready for the most basic online marketing guide?

• Step 1: Identify your target market! There is good traffic and and "cheap traffic" that simply isn't going to convert. Identify the persona of your target market. Don't skip this step. I've skipped it before and I always come back to the question of who is actually going to use my product/service?

• Step 2: Where does your target market go? (On the internet) These are your marketing channels. When you find a good marketing channel, it will feel like you won the lottery. With online advertising, good marketing channels literally take traffic from one place, and drive it to your website! This can be paid traffic or unpaid, it can be a forum, Facebook, Google, classified ads, anything you can think of! There are thousands of different channels being used and thousands more that are undiscovered goldmines.

• Step 3: Test a marketing channel! Think you found a place where your target market goes? Test different ways to get them to your site to convert. This could be through paid advertising, or guerilla marketing tactics which are low cost or free. Creative marketers will figure some of the most effective marketing channels that cost virtually nothing but can make a ton of money.

• Step 4: Strategize. Don't through darts at a board and just hope something sticks. The first 3 steps should allow you to build some sort of framework to brainstorm on. Look at the most visited sites on the internet and figure out how to get your target customer to your site from those sources. Build some marketing strategies to test and whatever works, double down on it and make it better.

Good luck and let me know if you have any questions that you would like me to expand on!
