Back To The Basic Series: Web Presence - When Marketers Need To Network Market

Back to the basic, in a series of re-prints articles from my yesteryear's as an internet marketer. I'm republishing some of the basic fundamentals of network marketing. 

There's a lot of information out there that tends to become mangled, twisted and whether confusing to those just getting into this industry. Hopeful you have read my previous article.........where you can you can get a glimpse of my back ground journey into the world of laptop/smartphone marketing as a home business.

Why my concern to back track on the simplicity?

With some 75+ million baby boomer set to retire over the course of the next 14 years. They are turning 65 years of age at a rate of 10,000 a day. Many, as the latest statistic proclaim, will not have the funds to enjoy a decent retirement. Sighting 45% have no retirement saving at all.  Boosting a near 65% having to continue working past the age of 65. 

There is technology that is in place, to allow our most popular generation an opportunity to at least work from the comfort of their home after retirement. After decades of punching the clock. And setting the stage for the younger generations. It's time we bring them into the online marketing loop.

   I like you to take a moment to picture this scenario. Its Saturday afternoon, you get a called from a friend, telling you about this huge sell down at the mall. Great, you love a good deal. Problem is, they didn't tell you which store had the sell. Malls are filled with many types of stores. Which one do you go to, how will you know where to get this great sell? You walk up & down, looking at all the printed ads in the window. Hundreds of shop to choose from.

Two very important events happened here.....

   1) A friend gave you information on a sell -- Word of mouth, networking (marketing) referral marketing

   2) Now that you know about this sell, where do you go to get your deal? 

The search......! As you pass by store after store, reading the advertisements, eventually you find the right store by what you see & read on outside ads or display racks. It is this very same nature of consumer hearing, seeking out and buying a product/service in a physical store as it would be in your online store.

   The most important piece of the puzzle in internet marketing is your web presence. Your web I.D. 

   The place where consumers thirsty for your information, products and/or services will visit. This also known as "Branding". You create an online brand by building a business presence. Your website will serve as your main online presence and will act as a center point for all of your online promotional efforts. Your website should be distinctive, easy to navigate, and full of useful information. 

   Think exactly what purpose you want your website to serve. Information, promotions of other businesses, hobbies etc., exactly who your website targets, should have been made little cleaner, defined with your business plan.
  
   No matter how small your company is, if you are selling products or services, it is essential to have a website to reach your customers. Websites do not cost too much to build. Consider your website as a tool for expanding your business and profit. The internet has become  inexpensive, fast and the most reliable form of communication in this hi-speed  paced world of ours. And having a website, is your store in that huge mall we talked about earlier.

 Taking your business on the internet is going to open up an entire new market for you than a physical store, simply because of the vast amount of potential customers you can reach.(one & half billion people are online across the global in 2009 to just over 4 billion user in 2018)

   Your website must allow customers to do business with you. People want to do things fast. This world is in a rush, people carry cell phones and laptops, so that they can stay connected. Your website is as powerful marketing tool as newspapers and magazines were in the past. If you want your business to go global, then you definitely need to have a marketing website.

   There's very little that can't be sold over the internet. With 10's of millions shoppers now online, purchasing everything from books to computers to cars to real estate to jet planes to natural gas, you name it. If you can imagine it, someone will figure out how to sell it online. Ebay, Amazon and even Walmart to name a few.

   Internet marketing research firms predict that the number of online consumers will grow at a rate of 25% to 45% over the next few years. 25% to 45% growth.,,,..you've got to want a piece of that pie!

   Consumers now search for information online prior to making a purchase at a brick-and-mortar store, your site may be the first chance you have at making a good impression and capture that sell.

  Your website is your store online; so you must have a presence on the internet so consumer can easily find out more about your business and the products/services you have to offer. 

   Everyone that is in this industry needs a website. Why? Most home-based internet entrepreneurs have what is called a replicated website for that business their in. 
You've seen these urls: theircompanycom/yourname


Did you know that these (internet addresses) can not be picked up by search engine spiders. (Programs that constantly crawl the internet - worldwide web collecting information for search engine index.) This is how one is able to locate websites using Google, Bing, Baibu, Duck Duck Go & countless other search engines. Google being the reigning king.


   Imagine all the free traffic & sales.....missed because visitors simply can not get to your website. Worse yet, brought from someone else who was able to draw that visitor to their business site.

If you have an online business with a replicated website You need a permanent home webpage.

Solution:

A website with *Forwarding service*

   If you are unable to move your existing website content (replicated website), hard to remember, unprofessional or just plain ugly url. You may want to think about establishing your own domain name website with forwarding service. Someone visiting your permanent web page can automatically be transported to your existing website instantly.
Another reason to have your own permanent web page.

Try this:

Place in the search engine box of Google, these keywords........

So You Decided To Invest.....What Are Your Options!

    You finally have it in your heart & head. That the future of your remaining days will indeed be better off when you invest in the businesses that you support every day. That the products & services you use day in and day out. Things you love so and spend your hard earned cash on can actually be returned to you in the form of dividends and compound interest. Providing you a comfortable retirement lifestyle.  You've realize that the rich, when investing wisely into stocks, bonds, ETF, & mutual funds is what keeps them wealthy.



 In the long run, you and yours will be better off financially. Will it be easy, no! There will be continuous improvement as you move forward. Your knowledge base will increase as well, which will lead to better trades that will eventually grow your yield's & gains therefore increasing your bottom-line. You can ride off into retirement bliss.

    Well, we now have the simple short version. Sweet right?  Reality, is nothing worth while is ever easy. Point blank! The world of stocks & trades can be a complicated one if taken in to fast. So our first endeavor is to take a few baby steps into your start-up. 

Let's take it slow!

   The most essential tool at your disposal will be research. Every piece of information about the companies you are interested in and how world events relations to that business should be scrutinized. In the business world as I mentioned in an earlier post. An event clear across the world can have a effect on the future business that you have shares in.

   You may have an interest in "oranges".  In Florida, one year you can have a outstanding crop production and returns are impressive. The next year a freeze can accord, causing a low product output. Which in turn will affect the industry as a whole including the cost of oranges.

So, let dig in.......


Several steps that can be implemented immediately. 

1.  Check your own 401K, mutual fund participation  
2.  Pretend trading
3.  Trade plan
4.  Picking a broker
5.  Prepare to make a long term investment. 

#1)  Check your job for 401K, mutual fund participation:

    Do you currently contribute to a retirement fund?  Are you getting out of it what you expect? Should you increase or decrease your contribution? What is the cost of your plan? Check what your employer's matching contribution is. Some companies are quite generous in their employee contribution.


Will it meet your retirement goals?




#2)  Pretend trading:

   I have found that virtual investing apps can dramatically improve your strategy skills.
This Mock Trading has been highly rated. Step by step video guide. 

   Worth the efforts & actually fun. You can play the markets without risk. Find something that works......transport your strategies to your broker or real life tactics.
Surprise your broker with some of your own advanced trading skills.

#3)  Trading plan:




Out of the strategies in your mock trading. 
Create a TRADE PLAN.





#4)  Picking a broker:

   What type of trader are you? Long term (hint), day trader, swing trader, binary, futures, commodities.
   Of the skills and knowledge consumed, heavy research broker firms. You can DIY trade with numerous online trade firm. Which have become pretty competitive in cost efficient per fees and trade limits. And if you are starting out small $500 or less. It's great hand-ons lessons down this avenue. However, this is your money we are playing with. So I would at minimal seek an  professional finance advisor.

#5)  Prepare for a long term investment strategy:

• Less stress  
• Compounding Interest will be your best companion.  
• Blue chip companies consistently add value to your portfolio over time. 
• Taxes & broker fees cut 

   Not that one can't make a substantial profit in the short term, swing trade or day trading. Because you can and people do. Yet, this type of trading involves a different kind of mindset along side an intense risk management strategy.  Thereby, requiring a whole new level of skill sets.

Investing is an investment in your future. If there was someone truly vested in my future and had mentored me into investing earlier in my life I would have. Now that I'm a bit older......It just makes plain good sense. Just wish I would I gotten it back then when I knew it all.

To build wealth, you must invest. Simple!

   If you are considering investing and in your 20's - 30's, began now with long-term investment into blue-chip companies. 

   In your 40's, you really should sit down with a personal finance advisor to discuss your current assets & options. Play the markets as your skill set permits. Of course, with the assistance of a broker, if you have the guts and finances, some short-term invest. 

   I must say that if a person really does their due diligence. They would find that this can be an interesting time to invest. Not to mention industries the likes of:

• BLOCKCHAIN
• CRYPTOCURRENCIES
• ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

   Many more industries, businesses & start-ups are emerging.  Any one of which will make brand NEW millionaires out of the right investor, at the right time with the right amount of patience.
