    Thanks for viewing my thread. I want some feedback please.

    When you hear online marketing - what comes to mind first?
    Whats the last thing you think about in the evening and first thing in the morning.
    How much do you know about online marketing?
    Do you think you are doing enough or would you like to gain more traffic / customers but unsure where to start?

    I am not going to sell to you i just want honest feedback as i am looking for some inside info of whats actually going on in my potential clients heads.

    Many thanks in advance

    Alba, I can tell you that I ask people very specifically these exact questions that are on my list.

    Want to know what they tell me?

    They tell me that they're broke, hurting for cash, and aren't sure what to do.

    What's the biggest problem? They don't have any traffic, and they don't have anything to sell.

    They've spent money on all the "guru programs" but still can't make any money.

    They don't even have a website up, and they are desperate.

    People are hurting.

    That's the mentality I get from the average subscriber.

    Hope this helps!!

    In the past (10 years ago or so) if I heard internet/online marketing I'd inevitably think of someone trying to sell an e-book.

    Today, IM seems to be covering a wide range of things: Marketing, Advertising, Traffic, Selling Products Online, MLM, MCA, Social Media and probably a couple more.

    I don't know about your clients, but I am pretty sure some of them may be thinking that you're gonna try to sell an e-book to them at some point. :)

    Actually,there is lot of traffic especially through FB Likes and Twitter followers, but they are not converted into clients. That's the biggest problem.

    SEO. Social Media.

    Last thing: Crap I need to do _____.
    First thing: Crap I need to do _____.

    Never Enough.

    You're never doing enough. And you are always doing something wrong.

    We aren't your clients. So whatever answers you get from FELLOW Internet Marketers would be just that....

    When you hear online marketing - what comes to mind first? - Interesting, challenging, sometimes hard, so many new connections.

    Whats the last thing you think about in the evening and first thing in the morning. Last thing: hope to have a better day tomorrow
    First thing: life's beautiful.

    How much do you know about online marketing? - Too little so far.

    Do you think you are doing enough or would you like to gain more traffic / customers but unsure where to start - Traffic is never enough and I'm constantly looking for more.

    The first thing that comes to mind is delivering and promoting products through the internet.

    The first thing I think of is what do I have to accomplish for today? The last thing, what did I accomplish today?

    I've been active for a few years now on a consistent basis and I feel confident and comfortable enough explaining and showing others.

    What matters most is the action you are taking now, the long you wait the longer it will be to see results.
