What Internet Marketing Strategies are TIMELESS?

17 replies
So you know how when we were younger and playing sports or learning some new craft, our teachers/coaches always taught us the fundamentals FIRST. And they always preached if you stick with the fundamentals then you will be successful, no matter what. Well what about internet marketing?? What do you feel are timeless strategies, something where if you stick with it and scale it up, then no matter you will succeed.

Let me know your thoughts!

    Identify a market, identify the needs of that market and then build a relationship with the paying customer base in that market. Provide them with the opportunity to purchase products and/or service they feel they can't live without at a price they're willing to pay.

    Giving value back to the marketplace.

    The marketer with the most value win. Focus on the wants, needs, and desires of OTHER people before your own.

    If you selflessly help others move ahead in life and business then you will be financially rewarded.

      So many excellent replies already?

      I'll mention additionally that article marketing, for targeted online traffic-generation, is also an internet marketing strategy that's absolutely timeless. It actually predated the internet by decades (some even say "by centuries"); nothing's really changed its fundamental principles at all - it's just been very profitably and successful applied online, as it was in the printed media. I don't see it changing any time soon.

        This, plus learning how to reach them.

        You can have the best product in the world, if you don't know how to present it to your target audience you won't make any money.

      Niche Marketing.

      Identifying a specific group of people with an unmet, under-served, neglected or ignored need, no onelse is filling ... or filling as well.

      Get that wrong and nothing else works very well. Not list building, article marketing, blogging, sales funnels, newsletters, auto responders, ads, social media mkt, or anything else.

      Niche Marketing also predates the internet by centuries, perhaps back to the Garden of Eden. And it's still relevant, probably more than ever because of more competitioin and look-a-like products, and businesses.

  • The best strategy is to be committed to serving a niche market.

    Which means putting the customers in that niche market first. Becoming a long term authority in that niche market so that people will trust you and know you have their interests at heart. All successful business follows from that.

    As the Niche Man said, it's not about social media, list building, funnels, newsletters or anything else. They are just tools, not strategies. If you don't have a proper strategy, all these tools will not take you very far.

    There are a lot of timeless marketing strategies and I can tell you the ones where everybody is saying this method is dead those are the ones which are still working.

    If you ask me what I think is a timeless strategy I would say having a blog with great content to entertain and educate your readers. Also building a quality email list (that`s the most important point). Building a relationship and trust with your list. See it as your tribe get to know them and they get to know you. When you build a strong tribe then those people will buy from you left and right because they know you are the real deal. Build a strong salesfunnel for this list which you can tweak and optimize.

    If you did all this then you can think about a coaching program (timeless as well when you teach the fundamentals).

    Okay that would be the things I would recommend.
