What The Heck Does Vincent Van Gogh Have To Do With Web Advertising?
[print this page]
Nothing and The whole lot!
Nothing and The whole lot!
Tucked discreetly away on my modest advertising website
is a copy of a Vincent van Gogh portrait I created
for a charity fund raiser some years back. A few of the
individuals who have stumbled upon it have despatched me puzzling
emails -- van Gogh and Internet Advertising? What's the
connection?
It all boils right down to cussed old learning habits
that by no means die!
Let me explain -- I am educated as an artist -- one
of the most effective methods to learn how to draw or paint is
to copy the Masters. Spend a couple of hours copying a
van Gogh, a Monet or a Durer and you will study
more in those few hours than months spent within the
classroom pouring over coloration theories, composition
charts, and paint mixtures.
Learn by seeing thru the eyes of the Masters!
They have been there, done that, they usually have
solved all the foremost problems for you. It really works
completely and artists have been studying this manner
for centuries.
When I first began internet advertising I applied the
identical method. (Did I point out I was Stubborn!) A couple of
hours learning the Masters -- their strategies, their
marketing instruments, their mindsets -- saved me they usually
will prevent from months (if not years) of trial
and error.
Study the masters first-hand and you'll acquire a more
full and broader understanding of the different
advertising strategies, strategies, and systems that these
entrepreneurs apply. Spending a number of years learning the highest
entrepreneurs might pay large dividends down the road when you
apply all this information to lesser known advertising niches.
Many may cringe at this suggestion, spend two or three
years learning top entrepreneurs, you are obtained to be joking!
Not really, it's the place that previous artist training comes
in -- artists spend a lifetime finding out the masters.
And by no means regret a minute of it!
However simply how do you discover these Advertising Masters?
Finding the Masters was the toughest part! With so
many proclaimed and self-proclaimed 'gurus' on the
internet; finding the real article among all of the
'bovine deposits' was extremely difficult.
However, it wasn't long before one title saved popping
up, once more and again.
Mark Joyner!
Like him or hate him -- no one can dispute
that he is 'the' grasp of web marketing.
A lot of immediately's advertising strategies similar to advert monitoring,
pre-promoting, e-mail advertising, guerrilla tactics, etc.
have been invented or perfected by Joyner.
In or out of internet marketing, Joyner continues to be a serious
force that is worth some severe study. Many individuals attempt to
discredit him but basically, 'he wrote the e book' on web
marketing. A couple of hours finding out him and his methods will
prevent from months of trial and error.
John Reese!
One other identify that retains popping up -- John Reese.
This is another advertising knowledgeable that delivers the
'items' -- and the key lies in one word 'traffic'.
Site visitors is the lifeblood, heartbeat, and most important factor
that can make or break any web website. It's the
primary cause for the success of any website.
Reese has discovered the way to ship visitors to any
site on the web. But earlier than you leap and buy a few of his
Traffic Secrets and techniques products -- assume twice. Is there
a greater approach to get the information!
Please do not get me flawed, when you have the money and are brief
press for time -- by all means, go purchase his products!
However, if you happen to're on a budget and have a while on
your hands -- why not go first-hand and examine his sites,
newsletters, blog, etc. Pick them aside piece by piece and
you will uncover his real 'secrets'. But extra importantly
you'll have a better understanding of them.
Study the structure and layout of his sites, and see what
strategies he uses and easily apply them to your own
web sites and advertising methods.
Google to the Rescue!
In the event you're actually new to internet advertising and marketing, it's possible you'll
be wondering, how do I discover these masters, their sites,
or their products even? Just use Google and you'll
find the links you might want to get you started.
Perhaps, a simple illustration of my own advertising
examine system can be helpful. Artists love strategies and
it's the technique or methodology of learning that's vital here.
Once you have figured out a way to research the advertising
masters -- all the opposite items will fall into place.
This is a easy system I take advantage of, as mentioned above, visitors
is the key to any website's success. Therefore, it will be
useful for me or anyone to seek out a high SEO (Search Engine
Optimization) knowledgeable and study him or her.
I used Google to seek out out who has the highest listing/rating
for search engine optimisation products and Internet Advertising merchandise in general.
One website and one name saved popping up in the number
1 place time and again again. Mike's Advertising Instruments
run by search engine marketing expert Michael Wong.
I went in and started finding out his web site's format, its linking
structure, etc. -- this guy knows what he's doing and he
has the rankings to show it.
Then I simply copied his linking structure and applied it
to my own sites. Please be aware, I'm not speaking about
'copying per batum' of any supply code or materials
-- that's against the law. However somewhat the general design,
format, structure after which taking that information and
making use of it to my own sites.
Three or 4 days spent studying this master's sites
have given me a wealth of knowledge that I have applied
to my own websites and it's data that I might be able
to use for years to come.
This is only one example of how you should use this outdated
artist training approach that can assist you study more about
web marketing. There are numerous extra masters on the market,
search them out and study them. Your marketing results will
thanks!
