Top Ten Ways To Attract Targeted Local Customers With Online Marketing
Does your business have a Web site? Have you missed the idea that it can be your 24/7 virtual marketing machine? .....
I'm sure many online marketers have kids and they often come

over to the desk when you are busy working online to ask

questions like "what are you doing dad/mom" etc.



How many of us actually tell them what we are doing or better

yet show them?



I have been guilty of being "to busy" to answer questions or

saying not right now daddy's busy.



All this changed the first time I actually took the time to

explain to my daughter just exactly what I was doing.



My daughter has some "challenges" that I won't go into here but

the result of me explaining a little bit of what I do and why to

her has been no less than inspiring to me.



She took an interest in this whole marketing thing, especially

wondering why people buy things and what makes them buy one item

instead of a similar one.



We have had lots of conversations about this and looked at lots

One of the most wonderful things that I have discovered
about the network-marketing world .....
of products and ads, everything from tv, ebay, online sites and

even the wso's on the forum. We've discussed Christmas and

observed the transformation of stores and tv ads during the

holiday season.



She has learned a lot about:



* Integrity and honesty in promoting a product and many of the

various ways to get the attention of the viewer.



* How a buyer that feels fooled or cheated won't be back and

will tell people they know not to buy from you.



* Wanting to "belong to a group" - she was sitting next to me

when we watched hundreds of people fill up a much anticipated

members site that just launched with a limit of 500 members. She

witnessed first hand how building anticipation and exclusivity

can work.



* Selling something you are passionate about - how it won't seem

like work and you will probably have a better chance of success

when the passion you have for a product show's through.



Soon all these evening conversations and lessons lead to

Stephanie wanting her own website to sell something from.



First she needed some money to launch her site. At the time I

was an active power seller on ebay. Her little brother Thomas

was really into Bionicles (a toy) and was always cruising ebay

looking for a deal on the latest Bionicle. One night we were at

Wal-Mart and as usual in the Bionicle section with Thomas. The

little toys were on sell at less than half price. Stephanie

suggested that we could buy them and sell them on ebay. We did,

we bought them all and sold almost all of them at retail or

above. She helped design the ad and suggested posing some out of

the boxes for pictures and was involved in the design of the

auction ad. Enough was made to start her website. More ebay

auctions followed to raise a few more dollars.

After some discussion Stephanie decided what she wanted her

website to be about.



She decided on:



* The pet niche - an area she is definitely passionate about

(three dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish and turtles make their

home with us).



* She picked out several private label products (from a marketer

we met in an online forum) and a few click bank products to

promote.



* She chose the domain name freepettips.com



* She bought the website to use a starting point for her site

(she picked it out from ebay for $25). You can see the

beginnings here - http://tomdean.net/Pets (it's

not finished this is just the starting point).



Her site will be complete soon and will include private label

products about dog care, click bank products, resell rights

products for dog/cat recipes, articles, adsense, and two of her

very on products written for her but based on what she wanted

them to include. One is on buying and caring for hamsters the

other is on guinea pigs and includes plans for the guinea pigs

home and an outdoor guinea pig play box. Of course I will be the

one to finish up the site and get it on the web but the concept,

product selection, chosen design and her products were all

decided on by her. Think of all she will be learning from this

process. She is involved every step of the way.



Many of her own graphics will be used on the site and in the

products. She went from coloring graphics with crayons (her

other passion) to drawing them in a paint program using a pen

mouse that she purchased from her ebay proceeds.



All of this from dad just answering some questions and deciding

not to say "I'm busy right now".



I know we all get busy and stressed especially when that site is

just not working out or your latest mailing didn't do much for

you. But take some time when the little one ask what you are up

to. You may be surprised by how much they are really interested

in what you are doing and how much your time means to them. You

will also be surprised with what they can teach you if you just

listen.
