MARKET






 
STEP ONE:  Create a marketing plan.

Is your marketing plan aligned with the benefits to your customer to reach your target market?
  • What is your Product?
  • What Price will you charge?
  • Where will you Promote and to whom?
  • How will you Place your ads?
 A Marketing Plan Template will help you to figure out the right path for your business. 


STEP TWO:  Brand Yourself

Branding is a recognizable way that you promote or identify your product or service.  
People like to do business with others that they feel related to. A good idea is to brand yourself. 
  • How will you package your product?  Display it? Promote it? 
  • What kind of service will you give?  How will you appear to others? 
  • What is your tag-line to catch people's attention?
For personal branding, I prefer video.  
  • Studies have shown that video marketing is about 80% more effective that other forms of marketing, because it builds relationships with people. 
Forms of Video branding:
  1. Video Email
  2. Video Conferencing - Video Board Room
  3. Video Webshow - Web TV - Video Channel
  4. Webinars
  5. Blogs
  • VIDEO EMAILFor video Email, I use PureLeverage through GVO.  
    • They are a one-stop-shop with hosting, video, auto-responders, and templates. 
  • BLOGGING:  Blogging helps you to create a relationship with your potential partners. 
    • PureLeverage has it's own blogging system within it.  I also use Google.  

STEP 3:  Plug into your tools for promotion and follow up

    1. This is a free service, or upgrade to grow FAST.  
    2. The number 1 way to earn money is to have a large email list. 
    3. Grow your list the easy way! 
 

    1.  A squeeze page collects email addresses for you
    2. The squeeze page works with your email list manager
    3. Your list is your most important marketing asset

  • Create an email list.  Pick your email list manager.
    1. An Email list manager will send out emails. 
    2. Use your Email list manager together with social sites
    3. Use your Email list manager in a newsletter campaign  
    1. Sometimes it takes several emails before someone buys your product
    2. Follow up is important for relationship building 
    3. I like Govo because it is like a one-stop shop with web hosting and email management.
