THE FINAL CALL OF MY WEB MARKETING CLASS

I consider this class is excellent class for anyone. The class is great not only for web developers, but also for those who do business online. Today, business means online store. Whether you sell your products or promote yourself, or just deliver the message out there, the new kind of marketing skills is required. Old school marketing is out. Yet principally, we still adopt old school marketing strategies; however, we must adopt the brand new “Web Marketing.” I, as a web designer, we must make sure to design the best possible website for clients to bring a great amount of money into his/her business. Great amount of money I am talking about here is not just 6 digits profit, I mean, bigger like over million dollar profit. The web marketing class is definitely taught us the core of online marketing. What we need to do to be successful online. It really doesn’t matter if you are a web designer or a business owner who markets his business online, the class offers both ends. Critiques that I have received during the 11-week class, every one of them are worth remembering.

My challenge in this class was to think of attractive and enticing headlines and sub-headlines; I have been always weak about it and need to work on it to be better at. Headlines and sub-headlines are very important to capture online visitors. Within a nick of time, we must succeed to get their attention to the website they are visiting. That is the initial goal.

Yes, of course I would like to receive “A” for this class. I put great amount of time in it. But realistically my own grade evaluation is A, because of uncompleted website. Over the 11 weeks, I have struggled to make things right, especially MySpace. I have to redo projects many times, and finally got to the point I feel like I caught up. Though I couldn’t deliver the result I wanted for the class. I didn’t neglect to learn and do all assignments. I truly valued everything I have learned this class. “If students who refuse to take Mr. Pinto’s class, they are missing out a million dollar opportunity in future. “

JIMMY D. BROWN - MASTERING E-MAIL MARKETING

The most important thing in online marketing is, perhaps, to get e-mail address from potential prospects that visit your site. You don’t need their names. You only need their e-mail address for your data. “It is impossible to be successful online without some form of marketing via-email.” “You need a DEEP foundation of e-mail marketing.” D-E-E-P means: D – “Diverse”, E – “Effective”, E – “Education”, P – “Proactive”. Email marketing is about stating, growing, nurturing, and profiting from a wide variety of lists and sublists that all work from building your DEEP foundation and your business online.

When you send out any kind of mailing to prospects or customers, never put them onto the list without their permission. This is very important. If you do this is considered as a spam and will burn a relationship with them quickly. A large list isn’t as important as quality, consider the quality rather than quantity. Building the foundation takes time but make sure to take a time and do it right. Build a high-quality list will earn you a nice profit in the future.

Building the list of people (contacts) are not necessarily only to collect prospects. Make a targeted list will also help building the foundation of your business. One of example of making a targeted list is: Find a “partners” for your business is another vital method of doing the online marketing. This is called “Joint Ventures” partnership. This method will help build each others business and you get to tap into partners’ resources and their sphere of influence.

Another vital targeted list is a list of people who respond to your bonus offer. Giving away some kind of free bonus offer build a new sublist. The idea with this type of list is to prospects to sign up by offering bonuses.

As you can see the building the foundation like making a list or sublist is very vital to your online marketing. Doing this right will eventually leads you to future profit into your business.
