It doesn’t matter WHAT business you are in, what you are really in is a marketing business. You see, you can have the MOST WONDERFUL product in the world but if you don’t advertize it or market it properly then how successful are you going to be?

How often have you seen a really ORDINARY product sell 100’s and 1,000’s and even hundreds of thousands of units? And you wonder why! Look BEHIND the product and examine the marketing of it.

Remember those useless pet rocks? What about cabbage patch dolls? What about all that Tamagotchi junk? There are dozens of examples. But the marketing SOLD them through the roof!

So, how does that apply to you – the Internet Marketer? Here’s how…

… the GREATEST skill you will ever learn is HOW to market whatever it is that you are selling (or even if you are giving something away)! And that means advertizing – either word of mouth or by using a “script” in video or in audio production or in print (either on paper – ie newspapers, flyers, brochures etc) or electronically here on the Internet.

See that word “script” above? They are the WORDS that you use. Words are the method we use to convince somebody else to buy our wares. It’s how we fundamentally communicate with each other. And using those words in a compelling manner is called copy. Hence copywriting.

Strap yourselves in folks coz this is kinda long (what else would you expect?). I have created this information for those of you who may be struggling with your blogging.

Hmm. Many have been mentioning it but have YOU noticed how popular my www.motivationselfesteem.com/talk blog is becoming? It is getting a large number of comments for almost every topic I put up.

So, why IS that? What is happening here? But, more importantly, what can YOU learn to make YOUR blog just as successful? Just to give you some idea… my blog has had 437 entries since Boxing Day 2006. You can add them up yourself if you want just by going down to that day and looking at the public records. But if you bother to do so, the number will invariably be more.

Plus JFYI, behind the scenes, I have 13 search engines crawling all over my blog madly indexing everything. So, I am expecting a good boost in my Google ranking when that result comes out later this month. I don’t have all the technical stuff nailed down tight yet. That will come.

In the last 12 days I have averaged 36 comments per day. Yeah, OK probably almost half that was me babbling on AND I do have a “captive” audience right now. (It won’t be like that for much longer). But how many blogs on the entire internet could boast those figures – especially since this blog was only commissioned on the 27th November 2008? I have had a PLAN since day one and I have been executing it, though not as fast as I wanted. And this is only stage one of my three-part plan. So, if you think I know what I am talking about, read on…
