Let us firstly look at what I term the Pure Information Providers, those who market electronic downloadable information products. These are generally either e-books or software programs. This type of marketing is very straightforward and uncomplicated for those marketers who are creative, either technologically-savvy themselves, or have access to experts who are, and are very efficient at developing online marketing strategies that work.

Their downloadable products are ordered by the customer, either via financial merchant facilitators such as ClickBank or PayPal, and delivered immediately to their computer. The marketers then receive their payment from ClickBank or PayPal into their bank account within a few days.

These marketers of downloadable information products generally have two main methods of marketing their products. They advertise their own Sales Letter/Website using pay-per-click [ppc] in Google Adwords, Yahoo, etc, as well as through the Affiliate programs they have organised where many hundreds or even thousands of Affiliates market their products on their behalf. The latter is the most common system that the millionaires use, as it expands their advertising exponentially, and not only creates massive income for themselves, but in many cases for their Affiliates as well.

Now let us look at another area which is currently responsible for countless millions of dollars in expenditure and earnings, and that is areas such as Network Marketing which includes Multi-Level Marketing [mlm], but is not limited to that system. These areas are undergoing an awesome boom and have been doing so for the last few years, as many millions of people worldwide seek either extra income or want to be able to earn a full-time income in their own business working from home.

This section of the internet marketing industry uses a huge range of advertising methods to market the opportunity programs provided by literally thousands of different companies worldwide. And their online business strategies are generally determined by their budget, what they can afford to spend.

Paid advertising, ppc, is always the most effective when done sensibly and after very careful research, but because this industry is so dramatically competitive, generally the most expensive form to use. And ppc advertising is dominated by the BIG PLAYERS, those marketers who have mega-bucks to invest, with them usually dominating, while those whose budget is small generally lose money and have little, or no success, and in at least 90% of cases go bust!

So for those online marketers  whose budget is limited, or non-existent, the option of free-marketing using Search Engine Optimisation [SEO], and Social Media, such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc, can be a very successful and lucrative way to get their message out to the public.

These include writing articles for distribution within E-zines [electronic magazines], issuing worthwhile Press Releases, creating a personal web-log [blog]  and are some of the vehicles that will help the marketer become known and build relationships that eventually lead to personal freedom and online business success. However, this system of internet marketing does take time, perhaps months, before you can achieve worthwhile results. On the plus side, many online marketers use only SEO and they enjoy massive success with their well-planned online marketing strategies.

OK. Everything I have mentioned above form part of the most vital component of internet marketing, and that IS marketing itself. Every business on the planet needs to be efficiently marketed in order for its products or services to become known and ordered/purchased. So marketing IS the number one factor that must be done successfully, otherwise your business will die a painful death.

And what is one of the most vital outcomes of a successful marketing program? You MUST build a list of potential customers/consumers/business partners, because without that list, that painful ‘business death’ is inevitable.

The Pure Information Providers mentioned above are without a doubt the most successful list-builders on the web, in my opinion. They have it down to a ‘T’, and you could do your internet marketing business and yourself a huge favor by studying the most successful of these, and copying and adapting their online marketing strategies for your own use to experience online business success.
