Secret Internet Marketing Strategies You Did Not Know About

29 replies
When we talk about internet marketing, the following techniques come to mind. Some of them are more useful then others, and some of them are more well know then others but any of them are hardly a secret.
  • Organic Search Engine Optimization
  • Social media marketing
  • Keyword Research
  • Video Marketing
  • Conversion Web Design
  • Pay-per-click (PPC) advertising
  • Email Marketing
  • Forum Postings
  • Online/offline Public Relations
  • Link Building
  • Blogging
  • Responsive opt-in email list
  • Write and publish online press releases
  • Article marketing
  • Affiliate, reseller, and associate programs
Anyway, recently I have stumbled upon some squeeze pages and some websites that claim that they can show me some internet marketing secrets and techniques that many people does not know.
My Question Is: Is there any internet marketing secrets and techniques that wider public do not know and if so what they might be. Or have you recently discovered any internet marketing techniques that made you say WOW, I did not know that.
Or have you bought any of these eBooks that claim to teach you all these secret IM techniques and was it worth of your money?

    The answer is yes and no. Most secrets are just strategies that are unique to the user that creates these methods. Take article marketing for example, you don't just put aritcles together and hope to get good views, there are strategies that you can use to get more views from your articles, as well as keeping your aricles on the first page of google.

      Would be great if you could help elaborate on these stratgies to help out a few newbies, who probably like myself see very little views of their articles

    Well, the truth is I can not tell you something I don't know. So if there is a secret method of internet marketing that I'm not aware of, I don't know what it is yet. Although I can name a ton of other techniques that you didn't list.

    For example: Integrated Marketing

    This is a method of getting in-front of the targeted customer, by using someone else sales process. I use this method to promote my affiliate programs I run for my products.

    Plus, there is more then one way to skin a cat, there are many way's to do the different kind of techniques you listed above.

      There are secrets to almost every one of those that people know of. But your not going to get anyone to tell you most likely because if they are using them with great success, why would they want to tell you? Thats why they call them secrets

    Yup would agree... the secrets are just the things you don't know ... yet.

    Personally I find it rare to buy a new product that really shows something completely new and innovative. Then it does depend how long you've been around for. The longer you've been online the harder it is to find the next 'secret'.

      So basically what has been said is that the secret is not the particular marketing technique itself but the way to implement it so you can maximize the benefit of that marketing technique.


      So can somebody give me something new and innovative to brush up some of the old internet marketing techniques.

    Yes,

    There are secrets that "most" people don't know about. That is why I explore out of the box and try my best to put it down on paper to later be PDF eBooks.

    Here are just two examples of "Secret Twists" as I call them.

    How about "eMail Marketing" that has an inbox delivery and or read rate of 100%

    Or how about building a list without the help of an auto responder where you do a mailing and only pay for that mailing.


    1. "eMail" marketing with a 100% read rate.
    • You make an offer that is impossible to resist.
    • You tell customers they only pay if they like it. "I'll bill you and you only pay if you think it's worth it."
    • You deliver the product.
    • You bill them using PayPal invoice. PayPal invoices never go to spam, I don't know why, they just never do. And If they did go to spam your sales letter will be read when they sign into their PayPal account.
    • Each PayPal Invoice Template can have an unlimited number of people on it so you can Invoice hundreds/thousands of people with a click of the button.
    • Yes, your "invoice" can be accompanied with a message of any length (sales letter) with another offer they can't resists with a promise to bill.
    • In time you can weed out freebie seekers from paying customers and have a nice little list of people who like you and your products and become regular buyers.
    2. Build a list without an auto responder.
    • Go to www.websitetoolbox.com
    • Set up a forum
    • Make a TOS of the forum that members recieve occasional eMails from you.
    • Provide GREAT content on your forum so members will have reason to stay.
    • Sign into your control panel from time to time and compose an eMail and hit "Send to all members."
    • If anyone "opts out" (requests you don't send them emails) remove them from your forum.

    Hi,

    I guess it's a tough one, I find new "tricks" and tips all the time, at least they're new to me but they could be old news in certain circles.
    I have also given tips to people who I considered to be way more experienced than me and yet they have seemed grateful enough (maybe they're just humouring me).
    It's also often the case that a lot of these methods seem so obvious once you know them but you wouldn't necessarily come up with them yourself.

        G Allan Roberts actually inspired me so I just did an experiment with this thred here.
        So the marketing stragedie is forum postings, but just to beef it up a bit
        I did build some backlinks to this thread and half an hour later this tread sows up on Google front page under " Secret Internet Marketing Strategies" I will try If I can get it on the front page under " Internet Marketing Stragedies"

        So in a conclusion what I have learned today is that the secret is to use all the marketing methods together in a way that it will turn out to be that all powerful secret weapon if you like. As Cdawson mentioned earlier that do not just publish an article and hope that traffic starts coming in but use other marketing methods In conjunction to make that particular one even more powerful.

    I think what we generally consider as a secret is our ignorance...
    But I believe knowing all the internet marketing secrets will not bring any further unless you are applying them and staying focus!

    Have you never notice that you know a lot of awesome tactics and internet marketing strategies that can bring you good money but you are using a few of them?

    the IM secrets are leaning planning and taking action!

      An idea that is for sale to the public cannot be a secret.

      Whenever you see secrets for sale, think "salesman's BS, jaw-flapping", put your credit card away away... You can discover such "secrets" for free, on this forum and through the magic of google.

      So, you want to sell me another way to easily make "X" dollars in "X" days? ROFL too funny! IM success requires hard work and lots of time. Most newbies do not survive the steep learning curve. Anyone who says otherwise is probably selling you a fantasy.

    Yeah, there are internet marketing secrets and techniques that the wider public do not know. Because we humans are creative and always finding ways to improve one's self. There's a lot of possibilities that we can accomplish and discover new techniques. We just have to think and figure it out. Maybe someday, you can create your own internet marketing technique, unique from all the rest. Anyway, I research everyday on internet marketing and post it on my blog. You can go there and read the latest news each day. Hope this helps you.

    I would agree with those that say the secret isn't the medium, but it's the way you use the medium. For example, I have a site that ranks #1 in Google for a couple high search terms in the Get Your Ex Back niche. I haven't touched the site for a couple months and it consistently brings in $150+ a week. How did I do it? First, I found keywords I knew I could rank for. Second, I consistently built banklinks to the site's pages using several kinds of backlinks, including article marketing, profile backlinks, blog networks, etc.

    It took about 4 months for my site to hit #1 for the two terms. I'm glad I hung in there, because now my site is sticking like glue at the top of Google.

      Aha! That is the secret! You should create a WSO on this "super-ninja powerful money-making secret" that will force money into your account.

      Definitely a push-button autopilot fire-and-forget technique. Hype the heck out of it to suck in all the newbees.

      LOL!

        To be an expert in a field you have you figure out all of the methods and strategies, and then put 2 + 2 together and make your own "secrets".

        Most "secrets" are just a mix of multiple methods for making money, that work together very well.

        I have a few "secrets" with my WP blogs that make them the ultimate weapon, but I keep my mouth shut :p

    A successful marketer is always trying new things and some of the experiments may lead to methods that are truly out of the box and insanely profitable. Such methods may not always be known to people unless they are sold in the market. So yes I would agree that there are lots of IM secrets that the general public do not know about.

    Yeah, your right. If really want to be a successful marketer, youll think of new methods that others didnt even know that there's such a thing. You have to think out of the box. There's really a lot of possibilities yet to be discovered. You just to find a way to think of it. Anyway, I keep getting posted everyday for new internet marketing techniques. And I think that there will be a lot more this 2010. I posted a great article on my blog about 2010 SEO Trends to Look Out For.

    The answer to your question may be 'yes', but the fact is
    you don't need those 'secret' strategies. You just need to
    focus on and master a few of those well known strategies
    that you counted. That's it.
