How to Master an Advertising Marketing Plan

Friday, September 17th, 2010 at 5:44 am

Many business owners are exploring the internet every day to find information that deals with an advertising marketing plan.

In reality, advertising and marketing are really two different animals, although closely related. Marketing refers to ‘postitioning’ your whole product and service mix which includes those famous four “P”s: Price, Place, Product and Promotion. Advertising is just a part of the marketing mix and of course, it fits within the Promotion aspect of marketing.

In today’s internet economy, you can actually acquire certain forms of advertising which are free. Some of these advertising options include online classified advertising like CraigsList or US FreeAds. Perhaps one of the most effective free “soft advertising” methods employs of the many social media sites that are now accessible and more importantly, easy. The key word in this type of promotion is “social”. In order to be effective, you need to stick to the social etiquette that is required. No spamming or hypey activity is allowed.

Coming up with a solid advertising marketing plan will likely take some trial and error. But there are some ideas that can help you get going.

The most important is to understand who you are advertising to – in other words, know who your target market actually is. And know it very well. A thorough understanding of this will make your plan much more successful. Getting it wrong will set you up for failure. This will require quite a bit of research which cannot be skimped on.

Next, set your goals. Identify what you want to get in return for your advertising (recognition, sales, brand identity, etc) and set specific short-, mid- and long-term objectives.

Then you will want to do some brainstorming to come up with the actual advertisements. Create a rough draft. This is just the start. It will most likely be revised over and over again as you figure out what is doing well and what isn’t.

Which brings us to tracking, testing and tweaking. You need to have tangible results with every ad that you place. This is harder to do with magazine, television, newspaper or radio advertising. But online advertising very much lends to tracking. Analyze your results and make necessary changes. Sometimes just one word can make all the difference in advertisement conversions.

Research advertising agencies to find who you will work with best. If possible, go for those who are specifically expert in advertising your business niche.

Using the correct advertising marketing plan is a process. Taking action and getting help from professionals can help you get embarked on a worthwhile course of action that leads to your success.

How To Come Up With The Best Idea for A Product by Patric Chan

We all have problems right?

Information products are created to help solve those problems. In essence, your product created is the solution to the problem. So when there’s a problem, there’s an opportunity for you to make money online.

But sometimes, when you’ve found a problem, there’s already products created to solve it. However, this does not means that you no longer have the opportunity to tap into this problem because you can make your product better, faster, cleaner, more reliable, more cost effective, better presented, you get the idea.

If you look at the bright side, it means that there are a lot of people who are willing to pay to get their problems solved.

Don’t get me wrong — I’m not telling you to go out, buy peoples stuff, and just clone it and give it a fancy new name and change the layout a bit and sell it on. Aside from probably getting you into trouble with copyright laws and such, it’s just not practical or ethical. What I am teling you is you can take basic ideas and you can make them a better solution to a specific problem from the ground up.

Be innovative.

You’ll probably find these products in Clickbank.com’s Marketplace. There are plenty of info-products for you to look through there.

No matter how weird or crazy your product creation idea seems, no matter why you think it won’t work, don’t give it up. Never calls it quit before you give a deep consideration about how it can BE SUCCESSFUL. You’ll never know whether that idea could be your big money-maker one day.

Open your mind a little, and don’t start dismissing things on a whim because they seem impractical or even impossible at first glance. Sometimes, it has a lot to do with your self-confidence.

Some ideas you got there, when you wrote them, they look impractical. It seems like there was no market for them or couldn’t afford to create them.

Keep an open mind and don’t start placing these limits on yourself before you start. Once we remove those limits, the ideas will start flowing. Start recording them. One of them may well be the next big thing in your field of expertise. Sort out the good from the not so good ideas later.

Then, evaluate your ideas.

It’s hard to start creating an info-product, but once you settle into this idea of bringing new concepts to the front of your mind and exploring them, you’ll see that things will become possible and you’ll never run out of ideas for new products.

There are 4 types of formats you can use to create an info-product. Four of them are ebook, software, audio and video types of info-products. The easiest and fastest way is to record an audio product. Then, transcript it and you’ll have the ebook version product immediately.

If you can’t create an audio product by yourself, interview an expert in your niche market. I’m sure many people would want to learn from him.

Come to think of it, it’ll be such a waste if you don’t create your own product after reading this article simply because you have nothing to lose.
