Bum Marketing

Today I finished up my first Squidoo page. I have learned that Squidoo can be a big part of a free marketing campaign (bum marketing). It was time consuming, but I hoping that it will be worth the effort.

One great thing about creating links is that they won't be fading. This Squidoo page should be a around for a long time.

In addition to the Squidoo page, I am beginning to add pictures to my blog. They definitely add something extra to the text and apparently Google gets happy when you add them. I need to look into whether or not you have to have tags on them of some sort. I am pretty sure that you do, I don't think that Google can read images. One more thing to learn.

It is a good thing that I enjoy the process.

Here is a link to my Squidoo lens. Click here. The hands are a picture from my lens.

Ready Fire Aim!

Unlike the traditional "ready aim fire," I am finding that the internet marketing world is better suited to "ready, fire, aim." Certainly, you must prepare yourself, but it is so easy to overprepare and miss the target. It is much better to jump into marketing and correct as you go than to make sure everything is lined up perfectly before a product launch.

I wish I could say that my aim has been perfect, but that would be untruthful. I am learning as I go and self correcting. The online world moves way too fast for most people to be prepared. You have a better chance of making a hit by taking aim quickly and often.

So....get out there and just start doing what needs to be done.

The World Wide Web and Super Target

When I walk into a Super Target my brain goes gooey and I start weaving without purpose down the aisles. I try to stay focused (really I do!) ...I even bring a list, but it is honestly all too much. Too much color...to many bargains....and you can forget about me bypassing the dollar spot.

I have found that carving out a space in the world wide web is a lot like staying focused on my list in Target. There are so many ways to promote and market your business that it is difficult to find the right place to start.

Right now I am hoping that just like a beautiful bargain on the Target shelves that I am found by wandering ladies who are also not focused. My long term plan has to do with men though....they will keep you from lolligaging around. I have located a wonderful source full of focused men (and to be fair women) who really know how to market the web. Just like my husbans keeps me to the point when he comes along on target excursions, I am confident that my male mentors will keep me heading directly to the check out counter.
