"8 Myths About Online Marketing"
by E. K. Gann
1. Hit = Sales
You got hits; is Not the same as you got sales!
Generating traffic or hits to your websites is the priority for any
online business. Conversion of hits into sales would be on top of that.
2. Great Content Creates Great Sales
Creating a website with marvelous content has and still
overwhelmed many online business. Great Content here refered
to fantastic graphics, award winning designs and employing the latest
state of the art technology. Very impressive. Impression is important
on a website, no doubt, but an online business have to emphasize on
the conversion rate into real sales. Content have and should
be on the Emotional State of Selling.
3. Over Spending on Technology
A successful Online marketing business is not all about technology.
It is all on Selling. Concentrating on the marketing results in creation
of sales.
4. 6 Billion people on the planet, 900 Million have access to the
Internet
The potential of the internet is ever growing. That is definite. Counting
chickens does not equates to actual online activities; relevant activities.
Relevant activities means conversion. And conversion to sales comes
from qualifications, not quantity.
5. Banners are Great Sellers
Banners were invented because they provide a convenient way for contents
to make money, not because they worked.
Ask this: When is the last time you personally clicked on a banner?
6. Content is King!
Especially big companies who spend huge funds to create everything possible
with money can buy; believing that they are doing marketing. Remember
the Dot.com days? Why they failed?
7. Mass Marketing Creates Conversion
This spelling Spamming. Spamming is the end result of most mass marketing
campaigns. Junk mails is the King of Spam, and it cost near to nothing.
Email marketing would cease to function.
8. Top Ranking in SEO is the Key to Marketing Success
Large number of people are flocking to use the search engines. One website
is just a tiny needle in a haystack. Random visits to the search engines
do not create volume traffic as one would suggest.
