Marketing your online business shouldn’t be dependent on online marketing alone. Online businesses owners often forget that potential clients come mostly from the non-virtual world. Here are a few offline marketing ideas you could integrate with your online marketing strategies:

Business Networking Ideas

• Networking could never be underestimated. Often, your network provides the leads and information necessary to send the word out about your business and to expand your clientele.

• Join business meetings, forums, and conventions. These are where most local business owners gather together to discuss business ideas. These are also where the latest strategies and technologies are discussed to help online businessmen and business owners learn more about their trades.

• Network yourself with local business professionals. Join business associations and activities like Chamber of Commerce, industry events, networking organizations, and trade shows to expand your network.

• Know who you are networking with and be selective with whom you are networking with. Select only the best networks.

• Establish good, strong relationships with your network business partners.

• Talk with people about your business. You’ll be surprised how many people are actually interested in building up their own businesses. You’ll also get to gather new business ideas this way.

Relationship marketing ideas

• Fortify your base market. Maintain and continue to improve your relationship with current and past customers. Don’t waste your initial marketing efforts by not sustaining your current base market. Continue marketing to your existing clients.

• There are a few things you could do to keep your base market loyal to your business. You can keep in touch with them on a personal level by sending out holiday cards. Some online business owners go so far as sending their clients handwritten letters that update them regarding industry news.

• Create a newsletter. Never allow your base market to forget about your business. Keep it foremost in their minds by giving away things, newsletter for example, that may directly or indirectly remind them of your business or your services.

• Form relationships with new market. Don’t be content with your current market base. Expand as much as your resources would allow.

• Participate in local trade shows. You can either be behind the booth reaching new customers or outside doing the talking to potential business partners.

• When introducing yourself to potential new customers, never complicate business terms. If you’re trying to build new business relationships, keep your information simple. Customers don’t have all day to figure out what you’re trying to sell.

• Throw special events or parties for your customers. Such events could help brand your products or services as well as expand your network connections.

Print Marketing Ideas

• Use effective business cards that contain everything your clients need to know about contacting you or availing your products or your services. Hand out your business cards to anyone either to expand your client base or to expand your network.

• Use brochures and flyers. So long as these are strategically placed, these could bring in potential customers. Never leave out your previous customers as well.

• Advertise on print media. Newspapers and magazines still rank high among the most effective offline marketing tools. Use these tools effectively.

You see… offline is not a bad word.  Indeed, you should conduct live seminar and bring all of them online with some of the methods mentioned above.  If you want to find out more on how you can conduct your marketing offline, go to http://www.yewhengchiong.com/offline/

It’s not the most talked about PPC, SEO, social networking, article writing or some of those traffic generation methods that you heard most of the time.

You can published a Powerpoint slides at http://www.slideshare.net that contain a link back to your website.

Here is a example of what you see at SlideShare.com for a Powerpoint slide that i have put up there to advertise for my new product ‘My First Internet  Business‘.

It need not be fancy. All you have to do is to create a one page Powerpoint slide with a attention grappling headline and a strong call to action to click on the link.

If you have not already know, something when you do a google site search of an URL of a product sales page, you may be pleasantly surprise that you will see the link of the download page from the search result page.

For example, if the product sales page is http://www.UnlimitedInternetIncomeNow.com.  You can do a google search with site:http://www.UnlimitedInternetIncomeNow.com.  You could find the link of the download page at the search result page.

What does this mean?  This meant that you can bypass payment and get into the download page directly.

If you are owner of the product, you may not be too happy about this.   As a product owner, you can protect your download page from search engine robots crawling in.

How?

Simply add this meta tag to your download page (i presumed that your download page is written in html):

<META content=”noindex, nofollow” name=robots>

With this little addition, you can now protect your download page from search engine revealing the link to the world.

In today’s fast changing market, home business Internet marketing has become essential even for local companies if they want to attract customers.

It is pretty uncommon nowadays for a company not to have a web presence. Most home businesses lack a physical location, and rely on the virtual space to sell goods and services directly to interested customers.

The maintenance costs are low and there are plenty of ideas and suggestions for home business Internet marketing strategies.

It is important to know how to use the many marketing methods and strategies available.

And this is in fact the biggest challenge for small investors. The importance you give to the , for instance greatly, depends on your budget, the nature of the products, your preferences and the quality of the items you promote.

Besides these, there are more specific strategic home business Internet marketing decisions that you have to make, and which vary from situation to situation.

Add a personal touch to all marketing strategies. A home business Internet marketing approach requires knowledge of how things work.

Follow personal preferences in the way you advertise, for example. People who don’t like to write or read emails, will seldom use email marketing to promote their businesses. Yet, chances are that you will follow personal shopping patterns.

When you go shopping and you get a bonus, a discount or a coupon, you enjoy saving money, and you’ll shop there again.

If you’ve paid attention to your personal customer behavior, chances are that you’ll use the same strategies that work for you into your very home business Internet marketing approach.

This is in fact how marketers learn to adapt to the business requirements of their clients.

Do a bit of reading online about the strategies that work best for home business promotion, while following the specifics of your occupation, domain, product and service.

The right tactics for home business Internet marketing often require adaptation.

Home businesses have a limited budget, and this is something to keep in mind given the fact that many advertising systems are costly to implement.

Analyze several business models before deciding for the most advantageous one, and money will have a serious call in the matter.

If you overlook important details, you have high chances of spending lots of money on something that doesn’t work for your situation.

Therefore, do not make rushed decisions and do everything in your power to maximize the efficiency of your home business.

This is it!

Many internet marketers have told me that you cannot sell physical product on Clickbank.

Okay… Okay… we know that.  Indeed we can see the pictures below:

Are there any alternative?

Yes, we have…. instead of doing it directly, we can do it indirectly.

How?

Simply create a front-end digital product and put it in Clickbank marketplace and that as an entry point to promote your physical product on the back-end with other payment processor eg. paydotcom.com

Clever?  I also think so….

If you still don’t understand, what i mean is that you can create a digital product based on a similar theme as your physical product so that you can market your physical product via Clickbank marketplace.

Let say if you have a physical product on ‘Internet Marketing For Beginner’ ( DVD product), you can create a similar digital product based on an summary extract from the content in your full blown physical product eg. ‘Internet Marketing Mistakes that Beginner Should Avoid’.

Since you have a digital product, Clickbank cannot stop you from marketing your physical product on the backend.  When you subsmit to Clickbank for approval initially, you can remove your backend product in your sales funnel.  Once Clickbank has approved your subsmission, you can then add your backend to the selling process.

Hope you love this post and the idea that shared here.  Some gurus will charged you for this type of information.

Personally, i have some high quality physical product that i am launching in the near future.  It is a step by step blueprint for beginners or newbies to start their own profitable internet business working at the comfort of their home.  You can have a preview of what is to come at http://www.OnlineBusinessBeginnerBlueprint.com.

My mum wanted to learn internet marketing and she is already in her seventies.

She pester me the last few days… finally i give in.

I told my mum a thing or two about internet marketing and you should have see her face!

She is suffering from the common ‘newbies’ symptom. What is this symptom?

You see… every newbie starting their internet marketing business has problem with product creation. They find it hard to create information product that they can sell to the world via the internet.

Actually, product creation is the easiest and fastest process in the entire internet marketing project. Why do i said so? Let’s me prove it to you.

If you google ‘Public Domain Information‘, you will gain access to many free public domain sites where you can download the content for free! One such site is http://www.gutenberg.org/.

What then is public domain information? Public domain are free content that copyrights protection has been expired, normally they are work created before 1890.

Even though they are old content, it does not imply that they are not sell-able. Indeed, some public domain content are selling like hot cakes in this time. Have you heard of ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill? Oh, yes, you’ll be surprise that it is public content material. There are many more best selling books right now that contain public domain material.

You need to understand that the KEY to selling information is marketing. Nothing else matter! If you market it right, even public domain content can be best seller.

Moreover, public domain material offer raw, uncensored content that could be spicy or juicy. People simply love this stuff.

Another way is to create relevancy of old public domain information with current environment. You see, way back in the 17th and 18th century, the human being living during that time have the same problems, worries and joys as people who are living right now. The only difference could be that they are manifested in different forms.

As such, i have created a book entitled “Public Domain Cash Secrets’ where i will share with you how you can turn public domain information into cash.

You can download it at http://www.yewhengchiong.com/publicdomain/

Two more days will be Singapore national day.  In more than 40 years of nation building, Singapore has her up and down. In this post, i will talk about the biggest scam in Singapore history.

In recent months, a man by the name James Phang Wah has been persecuted in courts for engineering the biggest scam business in Singapore history.  Back in August 2006, he started the Sunshine Empire here in Singapore.  In slightly more than a year, his organization has sold more than 26,000 financial packages, bringing in a whopping $180m to Sunshine coffers.

What is this ‘financial packages’?  There are nothing but an empty shelf with nice mlm marketing packaging.  Accordingly, for every $12,000 investment in the financial package, you get to receive $1000 every month for the next 8 years.  Do this sound too good to be true?  If it did sound too good to be true, then it probably is.

Most importantly, how do you judge if a scheme is ponzi or a pure mlm business system.

This are the points to look out for:

1)  If there are no physical products involved in the sales of any packages, then be very careful.  Do your due diligent.

2)  If the packages sold come with promise of  high return every month for a long duration with little work, think again.  Again, do you due diligent.  Ask yourself where do they get the money to pay you the fat bonuses?  Is it from business profits or from some other people pocket.

3) When you see that they spent ridiculous amount of money on the decoration of their HQ, beware!  All this money that they spend must come from somewhere.  The question is where?  (from investors pocket?)  Normally in a ponzi scheme, they need to attract new members with nice decoration of their HQ so that there will be enough money to pay the interest of existing investor.  In other words, they roll the money from the market place with an empty product with a lot of empty promises.

Indeed, James Phang Wah has bring shame to Singapore and the mlm industries.  MLM by design is a great marketing system.  However, with a little twist to it, something good can turn into a ponzi scheme.

MLM system pay people for using product and introducing their friends to use product.  In a mlm system, if no one buy product, the revenue don’t come in and nothing drastic will happen. It’s just that the company don’t make money, that’s all. It’s the same like conventional business. No product sales, no revenue.

However, in a ponzi scheme, if no one buy packages, the whole system collapse because they need a lot of new money to pay existing clients.

In a pozi scheme, it is like…. you pay, he pay, she pay …. and i pay him interest

you pay, he pay, she pay….  and i pay him interest

and when no one come to in to pay….  cannot pay the interest of existing clients as promised.

Unlike a ponzi scheme, mlm business is the most beautiful marketing system ever designed.  It allowed ordinary man and woman to run a home based business.  They removed money spent on hiring sales staffs, advertisement, warehouse cost etc and channel this money to pay the mlmer instead.  And they also provide rock solid educational program to groom ordinary man and woman to be entrepreneurs and business man.  If you want to know more about mlm, go to http://www.businessopportunitysg.com.

Well, all is not doom for Singapore because the evil scheme has been exposed and the culprits have been brought to court.  The only regret is that many people have been cheated of their hard earned money at Sunshine Empire.

Here are a video of  the greatest business conspiracy in Singapore history, Sunshine Empire.

I would love to end this post with this message “Happy Birthday Singapore! I am proud to be a Singaporean”.
