Internet advertising today is becoming increasing complex with each passing day. It seems that finding and implementing effective methods of both on and offline marketing are changing at an ever faster rate. This is creating information over-load that can lead to paralysis-by-over-analysis for the typical internet business owner. Also it seems to be much more difficult to make a comfortable income these days, with the drastic changes to our economy these last few years. I'm sure the small business internet marketing community can attest to this. What I would like to accomplish with this article is to give some solid marketing advice to internet business owners so they can move forward with their marketing strategies with confidence. At the same time I would like to introduce an easy way for each internet business to earn a sizeable income by showing others this easy-to-implement marketing system. First off I would like to take a look at some of the most common internet marketing advertising methods and challenges associated with them:
1. Pay-Per-Click: Also known as ppc marketing. This is where the web marketing firm places ads on Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc. and they pay a pre-determined amount for each visitor that clicks on their ad. This can be a good way to reach targeted prospects for your goods or service. It can also be very complex and frustrating as the search engines, especially Google, change their algorythyms quite frequently. For example, back in December 2009, Google banned over 100,000 advertisers from their network. Many of these were long-time web marketing businesses that have advertised for many years.
2. Social marketing, A.K.A. web 2.0 marketing: This is where you create accounts at places such as: Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Squidoo, Hubpages, etc. and create a profile of yourself and what it is that you do. The great thing about this type of marketing is that you're creating relationships with prospects. The difficult part is creating a profile that is optimized for the various sites. Not only that, but you are spending tremendous amounts of time trying to get a bunch of followers so you can eventually sell them something. Also it seems that once you develop followers it can be hard to keep them by attrition. I.E. fads come and go and right now it seems Twitter is the in fad, but how much longer will it last?
3. You can place ads on classified sites like Craigslist, Backpage, Kijiji, etc. The hard part is spending hours each day placing these ads. It seems as if everyone else on these sites are doing the exact same thing: trying to sell something and having no interest in buying anything from your internet business.
4. Offline Advertising: This is advertising in Newspapers, Magazines, Television, etc. These methods can be very effective for the small business internet marketing sector. Your ad can be displayed to thousands of readers in a short amount of time. The hard part is developing an ad that develops many prospects in a short amount of time as this type of advertising can be very expensive. Now that we have discussed some common online internet marketing advertising methods, I would like to take a quick look at some little-used, yet extremely effective methods for Internet businesses:
1. Fax Broadcasting: Many don't know this, but you can send targeted fax broadcasts to those that are good prospects for your goods and services. This type of internet marketing advertising is extremely cost-effective and reaches your target market in a short amount of time.
2. Postcard mailing: With most all businesses advertising on the internet today, most have forgotten that direct mailing of postcards, when sent to a targeted list, can be the best way to connect with your target market in a low-cost way. Not only that, but your competition is low and prospects love having something in their hands.
3. Email Marketing: This was extremely popular a few years ago, but has lost it's marketing steam since the 2003 Can Spam act. However, if you were to get a list of people that have given their permission to receive email offers that are targeted to their individual interests, you will be AMAZED at their level of high response!

Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." ~William James
Completion:
We all have uncompleted tasks to deal with, mending that fence, fixing that door, writing that letter. These uncompleted tasks are just a part of our lives, but they tend to block our momentum and keep the past alive.
This can affect our business lives and prevent our internet marketing business opportunity from growing as fast as you would like it to. You may have so many uncompleted things in your life that you may feel overwhelmed, just do it 'one bite at a time' and then move onto the next thing. Here are some possible reasons for our procrastination:
o Lack of time: Sometimes this can be confused with lack of priority, we all have the same hours, minutes and seconds in a day, some people are better at using their time effectively; if it's important a true leader will find the time.
o Lack of priority: Try having a Daily Method of Operation (DMO) and prioritising your activities every day in order of importance, tasks that are left not done were obviously not that important so forget about them and move on. Some tasks are important like doing your taxes, prioritise your time and get them out of the way.
o Indecision about how to begin: If you're new to marketing on-line and your new computer home business hasn't got off the ground yet because you are feeling over whelmed by how much there is to do. Try talking & listening to your coach or mentor, this will help you focus your efforts and allow you to begin working again on your business.
Finally make a list of all those big and little tasks that need completing, schedule some time in your calendar to finish those tasks. Add tasks to your 'master list' when you think of them and cross them out when you have completed them. Each time you complete an unfinished task, you'll feel freer and lighter and you'll be able to move on.
