What marketing method are you using right now?

26 replies
I decided recently that I want to become much more focused with my marketing. I'd definitely rather specialize and be excellent in one thing, than be mediocre at a few things.

I've cut back all of my marketing activities, to focus soley on one simple business model. This involves giving away my absolute best online marketing strategy information for free. I decided that if I can prove myself from the start, then my list will be much more attentive to what I have to say. If I can really help them, then I earn their trust.

My whole philosophy has shifted recently and I'm now at the point where I want to concentrate all of my efforts on genuinely helping people. So my current method is:

1. Giving away my absolute best quality info for free
2. Building relationships/trust over time with my email list
3. Promoting only the products/services that I have tried and love

Where are you at right now with your marketing? What methods are you currently putting to use?

    1.) Wishful thinking.
    2.) Posting comments on blogs that have nothing to do with my niche.
    3.) Participating in forums without having any links in my signature.
    4.) Sending eMails without having any links in my signature.
    5.) Consistently checking Google AdSense to see how much money I haven't made today.
    6.) Participating in forums instead of writing articles.
    7.) Writing blog posts instead of writing articles.
    8.) Buying low quality traffic and wondering why none of it converts.
    9.) Encouraging people to sign up for a mailing list that offers them nothing.

    These are the techniques that are not working for 99% of unsuccessful marketers, so how could I go wrong following them?
