Errors in Niche Marketing May Kill Your Business

Posted by online mentor on May 22, 2010 in Attraction Marketing with View Comments


Niche marketing is one of those branches of marketing that helps you have an unfair advantage over the competition and laugh all the way to bank, while all the others trying to compete with the big boys. The amount of return you get on an investment depends completely on which methods you use, there is no better or more precise technique than focusing on niche marketing. If you do some research you will find a number of internet marketers out there who managed to consolidate a tiny niche market and are now reaping the rewards massively.

Conversely, there are many people that seemingly put in more than enough time and effort but never achieve the success they deserve. As a niche marketer you have an advantage over these people and will earn like never before. When trying to understand how to compete in niche marketing the most important thing to do is know those common mistakes you can avoid. This article will focus on the more basic mistakes in a bid to help you avoid them and become successful in niche marketing.

Going after too broad an audience remains among the most often committed missteps which violate the common guidelines of niche marketing. The goal of niche marketing is to focus down your prospective market to a smaller number of potential customers; it often fails here. The manner in which you interface with these potential customers and offer to meet their specific needs by selling them appropriate answers is what forms the mainstay of niche marketing. Many people who want to try their hand at niche marketing don’t get this simple rule and they instead aim to target an audience that’s too general.

Because there is so much competition out there, this does not pan out; you will have to abandon the flawed strategy. Additionally, any marketing or promotional messages broadcasted to this target do not meet with much success, as the advertisements are likely far too broad in taste and do not connect well. All that happens is that you have shot your campaign in the foot. You’ve scattered your efforts and reduced your profits. So remember to target your audience with utmost care, as it could easily kill your efforts.

Are Mailing Lists Good For Network Marketing?

Posted by Online Mentor on June 10, 2008 in Email Marketing with View Comments


Network Marketing mailing lists may be the cause of more heartbreaks than any other single factor in mail order. A poorly chosen list, a weak mailing and the high cost of mailing to a list can shadow the optimism of a new marketer very quickly.

That is why it is best to arm yourself a good knowledge of mailing lists before embarking on that path.

Whether or not you should use an mailing list to sell your product or service depend on several things:

Is what you are offering too complex an offering to be explained in a 30-word ad?

Can you afford to mail 200 to 1,000 pieces on the chance that you would not get a single order?

Can you make a profit selling your product to only two to twenty people in a 1,000 piece mailing?

In Network Marketing You Must Market Yourself Before Your Business.

Posted by Online Mentor on June 6, 2008 in Network Marketing with View Comments


With offline marketing I am marking myself first. I make it my daily goal to meet new people a day. I am not pushing my business just talking to them. I am looking to build confidence and trust in me. This is built up over a weeks or even months. This may seem a long drawn out process but remember I am meeting new people each day. When I have ascertained that they will benefit from what I have to offer and I would like to have them in my team I will talk to them about the business.

This way I do not scare them off and I have pre qualified them so I would be wasting my time with the wrong person some where down the track. If they are not interested that’s fine. You can often get referrals from these people because they trust you and like the way you operate.

To market yourself online isn’t a real lot different. You are still building relationships over time. It is just more time effective online. It can be done for a minimal cost. A couple ways to do this are:

Get yourself a Blog. People can visit your site, find out information about you. They can comment on any article you have there. Hence, you are building relationships with people.
