6 Steps for Successful Online Marketing for Your Business

For most people, building a successful business online means more than putting up a website and waiting for the orders to come rolling in.

You’re probably savvy enough to know by now that blogging is going to do more for your visibility online than a website.

What else do you have to do to attract, sell and profit with an online business?

Recently Denise and I were sorting through information and tutorials for our Blogging and Beyond mentor group. So I drew up a list of things you have to do to attract, sell and profit online: Here is a simple formula for online success:

1. Attract the right kind of prospects to your website

2. Give them something for free to get them into your database

3. Write some content that convinces them you are a smart and trustworthy person

4. Make a compelling offer for an information product they can buy

5. Convert the visitor to a client and up-sell to higher ticket products and services

6. Recycle: attract, give, convince, compel, sell and up sell

Of course, easier said than done, right? Anyone can reduce something to 6 simple steps, clap their hands and say “voila!â€�

For the next few days, I’ll write about each of these steps so we are clear about what it actually means in terms of actionable steps.
