Everyone's
goal in Internet Marketing is to be successful at it. Successful
Internet marketing can be summed up pretty quick.
Finding
your Niche or Target Group, attracting them with your Unique
Selling Propostion and then successfully meeting their needs
while meeting your own needs. Simple isn't it.
Whether
your desire is to merely share, or to profit it is all the
same. You still need to attract the attention of your Target
Group or Niche before you can sell or give them them what
they want.
How you
perform this 'Simple Task' is the difference between the success
or failure of your eBusiness. Okay, it may not be that simple,
but it is definitely do-able, and when done correctly it will
work miracles.
To succeed
at this task you must first realize one major point: "You
can not be all things to all people", so you must be
focused.
Knowing
that you need to focus on one specific group of people will
help you in your researching of the group that needs or wants
what you have. In this way you can define them as your Target
Group or Niche.
You must
research as much detail as possible, so that you will really
understand what makes this group tick. In this way you will
be able to define a statement 'Unique Selling Proposition'
that sets you apart from the rest of the crowded market place.
Doing
this research or skipping this step will either make or break
your eBusiness. Believe me when I say, that your eBusiness
can not afford to by pass this step.
Setting
a goal to be one of the 5% of marketers that will achieve
financial success in less than two years is a very worth while
goal.
Finding
that group of people, or your Niche in shortest time possible
is what will put you light years ahead of 95% of other marketers
and those that just give up.
Finding
your Niche creating a statement that has impact and proclaiming
the Benefits, while making it as brief as possible is how
you will succeed while others just drift around aimlessly.
USP? What
is that? That is your 'Unique Selling Proposition'.
This is
your statement that shows why I should deal with you instead
of the hundreds of others that are offering similar products
and services. Your USP will be something that no one else
has and it will be so attention grabbing that your visitors
or prospects will have to have your product or service.
Where
will you use this USP? In your email signatures, in your web
site title, description, main heading and in the body of your
web site. Plus you will have it memorized so you can use it
when you are talking business.
Your USP
is what makes you different from all the other marketers selling
on the Internet? It is what will make people think of you
rather that someone else. It is what will make the difference
between a thriving eBusiness and one that is not.
Make your
approach to selling stand out from the rest by doing something
no one else does. A new angle or perspective, one that no
one else has tried. Something that will make your audience
stand up and pay attention.
To be
really successful with your USP you need to fill a void, an
area the is calling for attention, but has enough people that
you can earn a good income.
Now how
do you figure out what your USP should be, so you will be
able to reach your target group and show them why you are
the best?
I am sure
you have heard of the 'Five Ws'.
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
You can
also add 'How' to the list and you will have an even better
chance at your success.
Answer
these questions and you will have the answers to your 'Niche'
and the ammo you need to make a dynamite 'USP'. You can use
the answers to define the statement that will get them to
listen up.
- Who
needs your product or service?
- Who is your potential customer?
- What are their interests?
- What do they do?
- What makes other web sites sell?
- What can you do better?
- What makes you different than other marketers?
- Where can you find these people online and offline?
- Why would they buy from you?
- Why do they need or want what you have?
- How can your product or service benefit your prospects?
- How can you narrow the market down to a Niche?
Remember,
you can only fill a need if you find the needy.
