Just One Small Slice of Media Publicity

Written by John Calder


Take a short break from your daily grind and considerrepparttar following questions

- Do you spend large amounts of time and money trying to figure out why Google prefers someone else’s site over yours? - Are you on a never ending quest for a magic trick that can help you blow pastrepparttar 100760 800+ pay per click competitors in your keyword category? - Do Page Rank fluctuations strike fear in your heart?

Ifrepparttar 100761 above applies to you, and if you still aren’t seeingrepparttar 100762 results you desire, you’ve got a clear case of “marketing paralysis”. Don’t worry, though. It’s not fatal when treated early. So, what’srepparttar 100763 cure, you say?

The cure is: Perspective.

Internet Marketing (as currently taught) paints a very narrow view of your strategic options. The books and courses you study tout search optimization and pay per click marketing asrepparttar 100764 holy grails of profit when, in fact, those methods may not representrepparttar 100765 fastest and most appropriate way to generate targeted leads for your product.

The Internet: Just One Small Slice of Media Publicity

Take out a Post-It Note and writerepparttar 100766 word “Publicity” down in big, bold letters, then stick it on your monitor. When you get stuck in a rut, take a look at that word and let yourself conjure up allrepparttar 100767 ideas, images and associated meanings surrounding it.

Once you complete that exercise, remind yourself ofrepparttar 100768 following: Your status as an online entrepreneur does not preclude you from exploring advertising outlets in other media. Internet Marketing represents only one subset underrepparttar 100769 general category of publicity.
