Vital Internet connections for beginning marketers
Internet marketing expert James Schramko says folks new to the Internet marketing game need to take advantage of useful Internet services to manage their money and their business.
He says there are several useful services on the Internet that can help folks new to online marketing connect with potential and existing clients, optimize their marketing efforts and manage their money. While many of the services Schramko mentions are household names, a few are a little more esoteric. Let’s go through the services he says are essential to successful Internet marketing.
Email
It goes without saying that you should have an e-mail account. However, there are a lot of e-mail services out there. One of the best is GMAIL. It’s free, offers plenty of storage capacity and has a very intuitive user interface. It’s perfect for connecting and keeping track with important contacts for your business. Other Google services Internet marketers should look into include Google Analytics, Webmaster tools and Google AdWords.
Managing Money
For handling money, Schramko suggests PayPal. Schramko likes PayPal because of its emphasis on security and its ease of use. PayPal is owned by eBay and has a very intuitive interface and a rock solid security profile.
Management of Lists
James says that for the vital business of building up your client lists, you need a professional grade e-mail service that includes an auto-responder and broadcast service. You need these services to allow you to effectively and efficiently communication with clients. Schramko recommends Aweber for this.
Merging the two
To merge your payment and auto-responding services, James recommends Nanacast. He says Nanacast will help you process sales and allow you to perform a variety of essential functions.
Social networking
Schramko also recommends that Internet marketers own their domain names and avoid doing business through Facebook or MySpace, as these pages can easily develop problems. Hesays Facebook and MySpace are excellent for social networking, however.
Communicating
James beleives Skype is an excellent tool for communication. It is quite cheap and provides great optionality for users.
