Most Profitable Ways To Market Your IM Business in 2009

Happy New Year Warriors!

As a New Year’s present from me to you, I’m giving you a list of profitable ways jump on your 2009 marketing plan. I hope there’s something here you can use. Enjoy!

Seminars
Promoting yourself as an expert in your niche to offline customers is one of the most popular ways to build your client base. Before getting started, be sure to find a systematic way to market your seminar that’ll… fill the room.

Mailers
To compliment your stupidly cash cow marketing techniques, you’ll want to take advantage of the many benefits of direct mail. You’ll be amazed at how fast your online business will expand when you establish a system to quickly reach hundreds of offline customers at the same time. Not an advertiser? Don’t fret. Do a Google search for “direct mail samples” or hire a copywriter to write killer ads for you.

Online Radio Shows and Podcasts
As you know, video marketing is… All The Rave! So, get out your video camera and start your own online talk show. You can tell customers the latest innovations in your products or services or you can grab a few gurus to interview. It’s as simple as that.

Write Articles
Buyers love to read about the latest and greatest products. That’s why it’ll be a long time in the future before article writing becomes obsolete. Writing articles about your products are a sure way to get your new product launch noticed by local publications or online submission companies.

Hi Christie,
Great list! Thanks for a reminder of some overlooked and underutilized ways of marketing your business.

Here's hoping you and all of those on the forum have a banner year!
Cheers,
Jim

Seminars is a new one, interesting strategy. This may take some overhead though and maybe some employees,

so many of us are just lonely solo workers.

Good Post, my friend.

I would specify that Ustream.TV allows you to do a live video talk show and Blog Talk Radio allows you to do a live 'audio's show. Blog Talk Radio's shows are spidered by Google generously. Thus, you are very right; you can be found that way very easily.

I have actually done a seminar and I would argue that it does not take as much $$$ as you think. I was out $400 for mine. Check out David Preston's thread on that.

Yea, seminars do require a lot of work. An easy route would be to choose a venue that already has a staff to help you. One guy I know is planning a seminar on a cruise ship that he's holding in a couple of countries. The ship's staff handles everything for him so pretty much all he has to do is negotiate the costs and... show up.

Shadi, what are you saying? Your ebook is the start of your seminar presentation. I started out with my own ebook series. I took my book and turned it into something... fabulous. I spoke to women, at a few seminars, on how to attract men.

You already have a product, now shoot for the stars.

Hey I like the last one.

A lot of people look over the power of articles. I use to a couple of months back. But now, they bring traffic to my site every single day like clockwork...

How about video seminars? Or teaching videos or something like that. I'm looking to get involved more with video and podcasting this year.
