Immediately upon completing the design of my first website, I was informed that marketing had acquired a new legal element, the element of PERMISSION MARKETING. To do otherwise was and is illegal.

I was prohibited from marketing my Real Estate Services as I had planned, using marketing methods for a national campaign.

The dynamics of the Computer Industry has revolutionized every country, every industry and certainly every culture. 

To resist, to procrastinate using new methods of technology was incoherent, especially with the accessibility and convenience of the cell phone, making it extremely easy to keep in contact with family members.  We all witness and participated in the sweeping changes which revolutionized our lives making believers and practitioners out of us all.

Researching on how to implement permission marketing into my service. I found an E-Book by Ann Sieg, which ignited my fire on more effective ways to use Internet Marketing in my service.

Since Ann’s E-book, I have gone through numerous training programs.

Training, learning, practicing are skill sets you must acquire. September 14 -15, 2019 I attended the grand finale of training with Word Press NY, which hosted 56 sessions, truly it was a phenomenal weekend, filled with knowledge and enlightenment, as guest from around the world attended, my partner Semi was from Finland.

From all the various programs and courses on Internet Marketing, getting started is key, first find a program, a teacher and an up-line you like, you trust and you have confidence in to take you to the next level of training, to accomplish your marketing goals.

Internet marketing has 4 major platforms, Social Media Marketing, Email Marketing, Search Engine Marketing and Content Marketing.

In addition to the 4 platforms, each platform have varying sub menus which allows us to start at a level of comfort based upon our market, budget, goals, strategy, level of understanding, preference, and computer skill set.

Such flexibility allows everyone to truly start where you are, the biggest challenge is TO START, with a marketing platform to reach your target market and desired goal.

In life and in business everything needs support, in marketing the 4 platforms also need support, which I call an anchor.

Regardless to what platform you choose, I found 2 aspects of marketing which lends itself to every platform with fundamental marketing use, while serving as a tremendous learning tool to every marketer.

In Email Marketing you need an autoresponder, when I first got started all my instructors used A Weber, Therefore, I was familiar with the Editor, through various training and screen shots on the webinars.

Naturally I gravitated to the company. I was pleasantly surprised at the extensive library they had, which as you can imagine is an invaluable resource when learning how to automate various campaigns simultaneously. A key marketing skill to master.

The second company I was introduced to on a webinar was Lead Pages. Familiarity gives ease and comfort. Lead Pages specialize in building landing pages with high conversion. They also have a fundamental interactive weekly coaching and training classes where you can submit designs for a professional view, they also have an extensive library, which specialize in the implement of various marketing strategies.

Seeing we all have different goals and needs, it is not easy to recommend a learning institution to anyone. However, with internet marketing, the learning environment is conducive and open to sharing through webinars and forums.

More importantly, knowing my struggles, and pitfalls. Such information would have saved me a lot of time and $$$$$, giving me greater exposure to a wider scope of knowledge into the varying fields of Internet Marketing.

In conclusion, I hope this section of the newsletter Marketing Affiliate serves the purpose it is intended for, giving greater insight to knowledge unknown to any and reinforcing the knowledge already known by many, as truth and wisdom in marketing. END
