"One word" for Internet Marketing

For instance, on the subject of merchandising, I attach the word, limitation. On the subject of strategy as it pertains to my own philosophy, I attach the word simplicity. If one word could be used to peg the right direction in Internet marketing today, what would that word be? I'm not looking for fluffy words like perserverence or motivational jargon. Any help on this?

i would say the following word: Targeted.

Hi Gary:

"MEMBERSHIP"

The reason I say this word is because a membership website offers you recurring, monthly income on a regular basis. When you sell ebooks, DVD's, courses, from your website you must continue to move each of these products to a new customer each time a sale is made. Then you have to work like mad to continue to sell these paid customers more products and continually search for more new customers. Many are only a one-time sale.

But when you create a membership site, offering unique and valuable information to a particular niche, you charge a monthly fee for access to this information. You have income coming in month after month, year after year, for a one-time sale.

I'm presently creating a members-only site geared to unique and innovative sales training (my methods are different than most trainers) and the small fee brings a twice-monthly email newsletter, along with access to the password-protected website full of freebies along with all types of unusual training courses, ebooks, videos, etc. that can be purchased.

For only $9 per month people wanting to increase their sales and income can join the group. There are no long-term commitments and the membership fee can be cancelled at any time. Once I get only 750 people worldwide the income the site generates will be $6750 PER MONTH. Once that membership number is attained, I will increase the monthly fee to $15 per month for all new members.

Do you see the value and income potential of this website model? It's incredible. And the real value of building a site using this model is that it generates equity (unlike many business websites). In other words, once you show potential buyers your monthly income figures you can sell the site for a substantial amount.

And with the membership website software available today, you can easily manage 10-20 membership websites per month. In my opinion, the income potential, the building of equity, and the ease of operation make this the best method of generating a stay-at-home income on the Internet today...Coach Doug

Hi,
This certainly makes a good point, you are trying to suggest a complex idea that combines at least two concepts: marketing and internet. In other words, the concept has to evoke an action (marketing), how (honestly, responsably?) and by what means you are going to carry that action out (internet). I'd like to see the response of others on this topic which Makes this interesting for reading. I hope this helps; Good luck!

I am a small company, and I can attest to the opportunity to reach markets that I could not have afforded to reach through traditional advertising.

Hello Sylvia & Rita Jo:

Visit http://www.membergate.com and just take some time and see the business model available and the tools they offer. If you have any type of specialized knowledge that others would love to have, you should consider this model as another revenue stream you could develop. Remember, on the Internet the entire world is your market and the more specialized your knowledge in a tight niche, the more unique and valuable it is to specific groups of people. And it can be monetized.

Most people don't realize the value of what they know. Someone always has more knowledge than we have, but at the same time, many who don't have this knowledge are thirsty for it.

I make no money from this referral, I just like the model and it's one I'm building for myself at this time...Hope it helps to get those 'wheels' turning with possibilities...

I'm also working on a memberrship site for selling and marketing to the affluent buyer...my area of expertise. Doug is 100% correct. Harness what you know and create passive income.

"Reach". That's the word I would use.

Going to be in the best interest of those that want to survive to team up with others.

Help each other out. Solo "ethical" tactics will not make you real money soon. Team efforts have been and continue to be the source.

Nice Thread!!!
Internet marketing, also referred to as online marketing or Emarketing, is marketing that uses the Internet. The Internet has brought many unique benefits to marketing including low costs in distributing information and media to a global audience. Nowadays, there are many ways on the internet in which you can make money easily. Though there are many ways, only some of them are successful.

Necessary!

Success,
