Marketing

There are countless articles and forums available on the internet concerning the question of “is Fortune Hi Tech Marketing or FHTM a scam” and I can tell you that I am personally a FHTM rep. Let me tell you simply that, every business has competitor and we are no different, so ALL of the negative things you may read about FHTM is from reps with our competitor or people who have failed at FHTM for one reason or another. (I cover more on this later) I have been with Fortune Hi Tech Marketing for just a year now. I am a Regional Sales Manager or RSM and have 30 people in my downline at this writing. I can tell you that for me, it was not easy and NO home based or regular business should be entered into on the premise that t is easy. I have and many other FHTM reps have been in or are currently small business owners looking to compensate their incomes and build a residual income. The question to ask is “why are so many business owners joining FHTM”? From my experience, the business owners take a business approach to looking at the Fortune Hi Tech Marketing business opportunity. It makes sense to them when they see the opportunity to own a business with no inventory, great services, no employees and no over head. You should not concern yourself too much with this or any compensation plan because they can be somewhat difficult to understand until you have been in business for a while.

Internet marketing is becoming more and more crucial for those who wish to get their product or online content out in front of viewers online, and it is also very important to keep up with the current strategies used in the world of internet marketing in order to do so. One of the most effective ways of promoting your material online is through article marketing.

One of the hottest strategies out there today is article marketing, which can increase the amount of traffic to your website in a number of ways. Article marketing can directly increase traffic to your website since viewers can visit your website by clicking on the links that you create in the articles you submit. The important thing to remember is that your articles should be specific to your target niche. Writing great articles can be beneficial because if the readers find your articles interesting, they will be more likely to follow your links to get more information.

A reason that article marketing can help drive traffic to your website is not as direct as the traffic that comes direct from your articles. The second source of traffic is back linking. Back linking is made possible by the article directories to which you submit your articles. Each article submission site will have an Author Bio or About Author section in which you will be able to create links back to your site. The website links that you create in these sections will eventually be found by search engines when your article is indexed. Writing content that is relevant to the target website that you have in the links you create will increase the importance of those links, which will then increase the popularity of your website. As you create more and more articles, you will create more and more valuable links which in turn will hopefully help your website performance in search results.

As the economy continues falling off a cliff, more and more secure people are diving to the mlm/network marketing industry togenerate a larger or full time income. Buy what is really happening is, the majority of the people who are going to join into an mlm network marketing opportunity are going to leave the industry with a smaller bank account then they had before. Why? Honestly: Laziness and ignorance. Now I dona€™t say that to hurt anyones feeling but it is a real truth that most people who come into this industry are living on big dreams and hoping that they generate a couple of new-fangled distributors and they will be prosperous. Which honestly could not be further than from reality. There is so much build up rotating around this industry that it is past the time that someone really shares the “Facts” about what you must know before joining an mlm network marketing opportunity.

Understanding the truth is going to help you make a very informed decision about joining a business saving you time and money in the long run. MLM Fact #1 97% of new distributors will never take advantage of the opportunity past the ninety day mark of their business. They begin to struggle, lose momentum, desert, and attribute the person who recruited them for their failure. MLM Fact #2 99% of new distributors will never aquire more than ten dollars per month in their business. They are mentoring the inappropriate people (I.e. broke friends and family) who are constantly facing obstruction #1 and plummeting out. MLM Fact #3 There are no “shortcuts” to building an MLM network marketing opportunity. This is a business that is built on long term results. A good amount of time is needed to build a large base of customers and distributors that will bring in solid residual income. MLM Fact #4 Getting in on the ground will make you rich! Nope, no matter when you join a business, if you dona€™t understand how to market that business and expose the business opportunity to 10+ people per day every day of the year you might as well started two years after the launch. MLM Fact #5 Your mlm business is your own business! Nope.

As the economy continues falling off a cliff, more and more secure people are diving to the mlm/network marketing industry to create more or full time income. Buy what is really happening is, the majority of the people who are going to join into an mlm network marketing opportunity are going to leave the industry with a smaller bank account then prior to getting started. Why? Honestly: Laziness and ignorance. Now I don’t say that to further diminish hope but it is a real fact that most people who come into this industry are living on high hope and in suspense that they generate a couple of new-fangled distributors and they will be wealthy. Which honestly could not be past from the truth. There is so much propaganda spinning around this industry that it is past the time that someone really shares the “Facts” about what you must know before joining an mlm network marketing opportunity. Understanding the truth is going to help you make a very informed decision about joining a business discounting you time and money in the long run.

Call today and get 50% off of your estate plan! Sounds good, right? This should bring in LOADS of eager estate planning clients who are beating a path to your door. After spending thousands of dollars for targeted mailing lists, design services for a wonderful postcard and postage you find that the results for your marketing campaign are far less than stellar. But, why? Because offer-driven marketing doesn’t work for estate planning services. Well, let me clarify, offer-driven marketing doesn’t work for people with whom you have no existing relationship. I will be the first to admit that I have not done extensive research to find the root cause of the failure of offer-driven marketing. But I have spent years talking to estate planning prospects and clients and I think there are two key reasons. 1. Because people don’t necessarily love the idea of developing a plan that will prepare their family for their death. This is not fun for most people and they are not motivated to do this by money. 2. Because people know that when they do estate planning they will be sharing every detail of their lives with their lawyer. They will have to disclose all of their financial information and sometimes not-so-pretty details of their family life. Most people want to share this information only with people they know and trust. What does this mean to you in terms of marketing your estate planning practice? It means that you need to find ways to showcase your expertise and allow potential clients to get to know you.

Affiliate marketing for chiropractors is relatively new in the profession and hasn’t caught on yet like it has within the general internet marketing community. That being said, there’s an explosion and massive income shift that’s going to happen this year that hundreds of chiropractors are going to be part of.

While many folks are swimming in negativity about the state of the current economy, I submit to you there’s never been a better opportunity to build an additional stream of income on top of your current chiropractic practice. This can be accomplished with strategic internet marketing for chiropractors. The true beauty is, you can start from scratch and don’t even need an ounce of prior experience.

We’ve all witnessed chiropractic marketing change substantially in the last three years. It’s hard to deny the worldwide shift in communication that’s happened right in front of our noses. This new dynamic has given rise to an enormous opportunity for the select few chiropractors who choose to take-hold of it. Chances are, you may be asking yourself, “What are you speaking about?”

I’m specifically talking about an opportunity to STOP being a victim of ruthless insurance conglomerates who hold your meager $15 check (for an hour of service on your part) for a few months. Believe me, I know the pain and frustration! I’m very familiar with the pain of not getting compensated what you really deserve and having them send you check for pennies months after. It’s a constant slap in the face that many chiropractors take daily from the big insurance “cartel.”

Marketing tips on a budget

1. Don’t waste money on advertising…for 95% of the business population this is a pointless exercise in terms of lead generation and also carries a huge cost.

2. Use your current client list…most of you won’t know that you can actually achieve more from existing clients. Be honest with yourself, do all of your clients know everything that you do?

3. Give your clients news of your business that is progressive. For example, “Hi John, just thought I would give you a call to see if there is anything else we can do for you at the moment – whilst I am on the phone, we have just installed a new widget machine to bring the cost of widgets down for our clients.” If you tell your target market that you are investing in new people/kit/expansion then they will have an impression that you are a stable and successful company.

4. Editorial…lots of local news and trade magazines will take good quality copy from you and publish it in the business news section for free. If you can strike an ongoing relationship up with editors and you always submit good newsworthy copy that is not a big sales pitch for your business then you will eventually get them calling you for you to help them fill a space! Remember, there are 1000′s of trade magazines in the UK – most sectors have 4 or 5.

Many search engines now include a locator function, a way to not only list your website and something about your business, but show where your business is located on a map. With a web presence your business will not only attract visitors because of your website, but these visitors can actually find where your store is located – thus visitors become customers. Estimates suggest that for the first time since the invention of the phone book more people used the web rather than a phone book last year to find the business they were looking for. The web is only going to become more of a resource as internet phones are becoming more and more popular.
