Five Proven Internet Marketing Techniques

It's way too easy to slide into the sand trap of Internet marketing and get stuck there with little or no results. I don't profess to be an online marketing guru, but I am learning from some of the more clever folks out there and putting their suggestions to use in my company's marketing endeavors. It's a trial-and-error process, but here are five strategies that have provided consistent results for me.

1. Offer an irresistible free gift. This is one of the best ways to build your potential customer list. You'll educate people about your value, provide them with helpful information, and begin to build a relationship. I prefer digital freebies such as PDFs, audio clips, and newsletters for an obvious reason: easy, timely fulfillment. However, sometimes I like to offer a physical gift, too, to mix it up. This also gives me a reason to collect the visitor's mailing address.
