An Internet Marketing Seed

Dear Fellow Internet Marketer, It is vital to create a product that will allow you to eventually expand into other markets. The goal is for the people who initiallly buy your product to also buy your next products. Since you have proven that you can be trusted by delivering a product to your clients they love it should be much easier to obtain their business when your new item hits the online marketplace. We need to understand a seed is truly important indeed. You need to see your first product as that seed.You see this is about creating an Internet marketing kingdom, a virtual empire of products that all start with one tiny seed that is planted in the fertile soil of those hearts that are eager for your particular product. For example, I am in the process of creating a set of onlline videos where I teach students the various techniques needed to speak English. My area of expertise lies in the field of ESL(English as a second language) of which I have been blessed to have over 10 years of experience teaching to adult learners. My target market would be foreign adults who wish to learn English via video. I realize though that if I wish to branch out and sell different yet similar products later I will have to pick a product that these learners would also enjoy. This led me to recall the great end of the semester food parties in the classes that I taught where both myself and my students brought in dishes from other countries that many enjoyed. Now I know that my second product launched will be an esl cookbook with recipes submitted from actual students. The cookbook will be sold to other esl students online. Branching out even further, a cooking forum would be established as well as an online cooking class with graduates of my esl video courses eventually teaching the course. It is amazing to see how all this began from the planting of one little seed. The online esl videos seed grew to become a cookbook, an online cooking school and a cooking forum. As we all know marketing is a numbers game and the bigger number of people you have on your marketing list the better your chance of survival and dominance.


Think about your online marketing seed before you plant it. You want to plant something that will grow into something huge. When you look into the jungle you see an incredible array of trees. That is what you should want your seed to turn into. The trees in your Internet jungle will be represented by the vast amount of names on your email list who want your first and additional products. The product you create should also appeal to as many people as possible. I know those who may not be interested in esl may be interested in cooking and vice versa. I could use the cooking bait to reel in the esl fish and use the esl bait to reel in those who love cooking. When your Internet marketing seed is sown you will reap the harvest of personal freedom. This translates into having the freedom to spend time doing what is really important. Even though I am blessed to be doing well working from my home right now, my goal is to create an online marketing kingdom. God is of course the king, I am the king, my wife is the queen and my daughter is the princess. I plan to give my little girl the choice to attend college or as the princess of the family become the boss while the queen and I enjoy our travels. It all starts with that tiny Internet marketing seed. The Bible talks about having the faith of a mustard seed and what can happen if we have just a bit of faith. We have to have dreams, big dreams and seeing those dreams become realities is quite inspirational and shows that this Internet marketing thing is real. No one in your circle of naysayers can argue with your results unless they choose to be up against the truth of your success.

How to Make Your Effort Pay Off

Invested effort in selling is rewarded with success. "He
that loses his life shall find it." Therefore, harness your
forces, discipline your effort, measure your time, marshal
your energies, and concentrate your ability on selling. Lose
yourself in the needs and wants of the prospect. Make his
interests your cause, and do not worry about results. Before
you know it you will be cashing commission checks.

"Procrastination is the thief of time." Indecision and post-
ponement bring many delays and rob you of many valuable
sales. Are you bold? Are you determined? Are you really in
earnest? Take hold of yourself. Believe that you can sell and
you will have the power to sell. Courage has genius, power,
and magic in it. Once you begin to use the positive power
of creative selling you will have all the vim, vigor, vitality,
force, and power you need. You will get results. Your success
and progress will not only be fascinating and stimulating,
but they will be beyond your own comprehension. There-
fore, learn to be bold and courageous, but always remain
humble and know that every ounce of effort you invest in
selling will be justly rewarded and fully compensated.

The days ahead demand strong minds and understanding
hearts, fortified with unfailing integrity, enlivened with crea-
tive ability, sustained with great tenacity, buttressed with
courageous action, and embedded with true faith and with
ready hands.

As we travel along our way we take a lesson from an in-
scription written in letters of gold on one of the pillars of
the main court of the great Wanamaker Store in Philadel-
phia. It was written by John Wanamaker, the founder.

"Let those who follow me build with the plumb of Honor,
the level of Truth, and the square of Integrity, Education,
Courtesy, and Mutuality."
