Online Marketing Plans

Need more leads? Need more customers? Well, what’s your plan? How are you going to do this?

I have a question for you.

In business, or in life for that matter, how does one get things done?

I’ve worked with small and medium-sized businesses for most of my professional career. I‘ve seen many succeed and many fail but the most troubling situations I’ve come upon were those where the business owner had unrealized goals and where they appeared overwhelmed by what they wanted to achieve. Have you ever felt this way on any particular subject or goal – sort of overwhelmed by the thought of pursuing a particular endeavor even when you knew it could be worthwhile?

There may be nowhere that I have I seen this phenomena more prevelent than in the area of internet marketing. And it’s too bad too because the potential that exists on the internet is unlike anything ever seen in the history of marketing.

You know the odd thing to me is, more often than not, these business people who are overwhelmed by the idea of attaining success on the internet seem very capable. So, what’s wrong?

The quick and simple answer to that question may be “the lack of knowledge.” But I think that there is something even more fundamental that is missing and the attainment of knowledge is a part of that.

Wouldn’t it be cool if in the process of conceiving of a goal or a dream, that we could simply think it and it would be achieved Life usually doesn’t work that way. In the achievement of a goal, a number of vital steps must be taken, one after the other.

And so it is with internet marketing. A number of vital steps must be taken along the way in achieving the purposes of internet marketing. A plan must be formulated – a Strategic Plan.

A Strategic Plan. What is that? The word STRATEGY is derived from the Greek words:

strategos, which means “general.”

stratos, which means “army.”

agein, meaning “to lead.”

A plan made by the general to lead the army.

In the business world we say a plan for the skillful overall conduct of a large field of operations, or a sector of such operations, toward the achievement of a specific goal or result. It provides direction for the activities in achieving a goal.

Well, going back to what I said at the beginning here, what happens if strategic planning is missing? Ok, let’s go back to the derivation of the word again. What happens in a war if no strategic planning is done? Troops fight aimless battles. Actions of various troops may not support each other and in fact could impede each other. Different support elements such as delivery of food and supplies would likely end up in the wrong places at the wrong times. A lot of wasted actions, resources and time occurs. In short, confusion and ultimately defeat.

And so it is too with entering the field of internet marketing. One must have a strong, coordinated, forward-moving plan. Many businesses mistakenly hear about how the internet works, hear about how search engine optimization, Pay-per-click or Blogging is really great and try to jump in willy-nilly with one of those strategies. Well that’s just it! Each of those is just one of many possible components of a strategic plan. These tools need to be well coordinated and well thought out and laid into a broad strategy that is based upon knowledge of what works, how it works and in what situations it can be best utilized.

So, don’t let internet marketing overwhelm you and miss out on the tremendous potential it holds for your business. Attack it with a strategic plan and win!

Of course, how does one educate themselves on the tools of the internet? How does one with little to no experience know which components are the best for their stategy?
