Top 10 Ways To Make Money In 2010

Here are some great marketing tips I found online:


Top 10 Ways To Make Money In 2010


1. Tighten up your marketing message.

Addressing the most specific and passionate needs of your customers.

When you cater to your customer’s specific needs, you will sell much more, and you’ll be able to charge top-dollar as well.

This works for everything from health care to cupcakes.


2. Value and ethics pay off.

People are very willing to pay top dollar for better quality, as long as you’re giving them a valid reason why they should.


3. Curiosity is King.

Entrepreneurs who can create compelling marketing messages that arouse curiosity and self-interest will be handsomely rewarded.

Self-centered messages focusing on the company instead of the customer, however, will be ignored even more in 2010.


4. You must be a problem-solver,not a sales person.

If you want to differentiate yourself, you’re going to have to start being a teacher first, and a sales person second.

Being a problem solver first and foremost, gives you the positioning you want and the credibility you need, to make big money.

Remember, no one cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.


5. Increased use of emotional direct-response marketing.

Doesn’t matter whether it’s vanity, greed, hope, or fear of loss -- pushing the right emotional buy-buttons is going to be a critical component of your success in 2010.


6. Increased use of direct mail.

You’re able to select targeted mailing lists and create marketing messages that address your prospects unique and specific needs.

Plus, mailboxes today are less cluttered, which means less competition for your prospects attention.


7. Your USP had better be strong and specific.

Your USP is your “Unique Selling Proposition.

Why should I do business with you, instead of your competition?

Attract those people who already want to buy these goods and services, and simply show these prospects why they should buy from you, as opposed to someone else.


8. Increased use of two-step lead generation marketing.

It gets you out of the ‘convincing’ business and it lets you attract pre-qualified leads who are eager and enthusiastic about doing business with you. It also lets you share your story, which gives your prospects a much better opportunity to get to know you.


9. Take your cues from Reality TV.

If you’re not using reality-based marketing, then you’re missing out, big-time. Personal stories and opinions about you and your family, or situational stories of how you overcame specific business or personal obstacles, Hot news from your industry and only 5-10% promotional content.


10. More truth and transparency online.

You’re going to need a lot more than a sales pitch or a clever logo to sell something.

This means having a personality and creating a long-term relationship with your prospects.

How is any of this different form 2009? 2008? 2007????

 

Each year we have to refocus, learn from past mistakes and start with a new slate.

Even if you have been doing everything on this list for years, you need to look at your current marketing methods and see where you can improve in these areas.

There is room for improvement in all our lives.

If we had everything 100% figured out we would be on a beach, lake, or slope somewhere instead of here trying to learn and better our marketing skills.

I don't know about you but I made a lot of mistakes and missed out on a lot of good opportunities because of procrastination and/or fear in 2009.

I'm starting 2010 fresh and I am going to apply all 10 of these steps like my future depends on it.(Which it does)

I think in essence he is saying that we should put "customer" first... rather than making it seem like you are selling them something... with the heighten focus around social media, the customers are eventually going to have the power... they are going to have better tools to decide what is good and what is not good... hence in 2010, work on your brand, work on those relationships and build your foundation... in other words, go back to basics of doing business with those you know...

 

Wow! amazing tips. I was ACTUALLY looking for these kinda things. THANK YOU very much!

 

Good for some inspiration coming towards the beginning of a new decade. Thanks kindly sir, your words are grand!

Personally I think that many of the marketing methods that have been used in the past years are gonna become super ineffective in the coming months and years as people look to connect more and more with people instead of just products.

People buy from people they know, like, and trust. Always have, but now with social media the normal sales pitch just isn't gonna cut it. People want to build relationships first and those marketers who make and are making the effort to properly build relationships to help others will be the ones who rise to the top.

 

That if funny I was just thinking the same thing myself...

 

good information who are already in marketing but you didnt tell those 10 ways to earn

 

Some good tips you have there .. Thanks

 

I think in the current market, this is really important: Your USP had better be strong and specific.
I believe having a strong USP for your business, will not only make it successfull but it will make it last
