subject: Does Your Marketing System Have These 6 Essential Qualities [print this page] For anyone who is serious about making money online, you need to have an Internet Marketing System. For a person who is new to the Internet marketing game, how do you choose which system to use when it all sounds like gibberish? Well listed below are a few of the most important over-all qualities to look for in a system.
Beginner and Advanced Training: Within the system should be detailed training which spans from the set-up to advanced marketing techniques. Your marketing system should be able to grow with you. If the system does not come with lots of training videos or articles, it probably will be too difficult to really get started.
Plug-and-Play: The point of using a system is that a lot of the hard, technical work should be automated. You should not have to learn how to build your own webpages or obtain copy write skills to get your capture pages and auto-responder emails up and running. Now obviously, this knowledge is important and you should learn it eventually, but with a good marketing system, this should all be automated so you can start marketing immediately. Internet marketing is a "Learn as you Go" field and you don't want to delay your marketing campaigns trying to learn these skills.
Split Testing of Web Pages: You must have the opportunity to split test your capture pages. Otherwise, you would waste tons of time running a campaign that doesn't convert or produce leads . Split testing is the ability to run multiple capture page campaigns simultaneously to compare results. Look for a marketing system that has a way of tracking your capture pages activity.
Included Auto-Responder: In the beginning you won't know what to say in the emails that will be pushed out to your leads, so make sure that you have a system that provides an auto-responder with pre-written emails. Also make sure that you have the option to have a third party auto-responder program work with your system to use once you are ready to write your own emails.
Online Support Forum: Look for a marketing system that has an online support forum that will connect you will other system users. You can learn from each other's mistakes, ask questions and network with like-minded individuals. Surrounding yourself with other successful entrepreneurs is an important part of your success.
Proven Past Success: Make sure to find a system that lots of people are having success with. You can chat on discussion boards to find out what people are using and liking. Look for online testimonials. If you are using an online mentor (if you are a newbie, you should be!) it is best to use the same system as they use, so you can get help on system specific questions.
Hopefully this will help you sort through the many choices to find the best Internet Marketing System for you. If used correctly, a good system is a huge help to a motivated internet marketer. A system will leverage time in ways that you could never do on your own.
