Internet Marketing - The Passion and the Rhythm of Business

Market Conversation: Discussion groups & forums are wonderful communities to participate in to understand what your prospects and marketplace wants and needs. Pay attention to posts with lots of views & comments. In your participation ask and answer questions; evaluate responses and comments from the rest of the group. Take the conversation to your blog and post about the discussion giving appropriate credit if quoting. Create articles that answer questions that are posted in the discussion group.

Regular Content Creation: Your participation in relevant groups and forums will give you plenty of material to answer and comment on. Provide answers, agreement with other bloggers, or disagree with other bloggers. The key thing is that it is important to schedule regular content creation and delivery on your topic. Create an editorial / topic schedule for the week, month or even year so that your topics and templates for creation are ready to fill in and deliver. An example of a schedule might be the following:

• Article Writing & Blog Posting - Daily or 3 times a week
• Internet Radio - Weekly
• Press Releases, Couple times a month

Product Creation Record and archive pretty much everything you do. Compile your articles and blogs posts to create e-books. In fact, if you have a planned delivery for your message, daily articles can be a way to create your book as well as collect feedback as you write the book. Recordings of the audio & video of all webinars & teleconferences can be turned into CDs, DVDs and pre-loaded media players for home study courses of your material and your message. The key to success with product creation is to be a prolific product creator. Some products you will sell a handful of, and some you will sell a boatload of ; ideally you will have several products available each bringing in a stream of income, getting your message out, and creating a following.

Social Networking- (e.g. Blog Commenting, Facebook, MySpace, Ning, Twitter) I recommend creating a profile template. Gather all the information it takes to fill out a profile into a single document so that each new group that you join can be consistent with information, influencing and persuasive words. Focus time investing in relationships in your social networking groups. Your groups should be built with three types of relationships

• Prospects and Customers - Your market place
• Peers - These people have the same market as you do
• Mentors - People you look up to

There may be additional activities that you include in this list depending on your product or service. These are just a few of the basic ones. The most important thing about the Rhythm of internet marketing is to schedule your activities for daily activity. Schedule regular days for articles, posting, commenting and connecting. If you're too busy to regularly create content or to manage your social networking profiles, then hire an online business manager to help you create or maintain your online business presence.
