One of
most common questions people new to Internet business ask is, "Where do I find my target market?" Most of these people know exactly whom they want to sell their products/services to, but they have no idea where to find them on
Internet.Most of
people selling online are offering a good product or service, but many of them aren't making any sales. What’s
problem? It’s not their product. It’s their marketing, specifically where they are marketing.
Hundreds upon hundreds of Internet entrepreneurs are making
very same mistakes every single day. They are under
impression that placing their URL on FFA link pages and submitting to billions of search engines will attract tons of ready to buy shoppers to their website. Could they be more wrong!?
These tactics are kind of like trying to sell ice to Eskimos. They have no need to buy ice when it’s all around them. The same is true for most of
people who are attracted to these websites. They have no need for what’s there.
So how do you find your target audience? First of all, you have to think like them. Put yourself in
place of your customers. What do they want? Where will they go looking for it online?
The obvious answer is search engines. Yahoo! isn't
most visited website on
Internet for nothing. But unless you’re willing to spend months just trying to get a top ranking, or pay someone big bucks to do it for you, this isn't
best way to find your audience.
