I am an official beginer. I want to get up to speed quickly on how I can launch a new business with the internet of course being a major pipeline. I believe in the numbers. But I am feeling hesitant as I put my ideas to reality and relly do not know where to begin. What should be my first mission in starting a new business whichi I expect my web page to drive traffic in many directions? My web is not created yet.

Dunken,
Exactly. The key to me is that modern marketing (as I’m beginning to call it) takes the control away from the marketer and puts it i the hands of the consumer – where it should be.

I couldn’t agree with you more. In my professional life as a web marketer AND my ‘other’ life as a martial arts coach it has become clear to me that ‘marketing’ in the next few years is going to shift radically from the ‘one-way message” of marketeers DELIVERING a message to clients, to a two-way exchange of INFORMATION and ideas.

The new model for sales will be more symbiotic than ever.

Hello,
I have just stumbled upon your site via emoms via dosh dosh via technocrati, which I just yesterday really delved into.
I have recently (11/07)developed a website, working with my father in-law (Doc G) where he blogs about various celebrities pertaining to their Personality Styles. I am currently getting ready to do my big marketing kick-off (end of Jan 08) and was looking for information that would help me address some concerns that I had re: kick-off. Your information has been very useful in reference to the social word of mouth that can turn users on to my site. I will continue to check out your information for more ideas/things to consider. Being new to this I am excited of the opportunity, eager to get going but aware that I can stumble getting out of the gate.

Thanks for sharing your valuable information with users like me.

Bob,
That’s the key, isn’t it. When you’re running a business that you’re promoting through a blog, it can be misleading to just have traffic and comments. Instead, you need to be sure you’re reaching your target audience so that you’re having the conversations with potential clients.

“They see it as personal journals about useless stuff.”

In the real estate space, bloggers tend to blog about stuff that is useless to the consumer. The bulk of the traffic (and comments) many of them get is from other bloggers, so they write for the instant gratification, missing the real audience entirely.

FincherFanatic,

Absolutely. And there’s a huge trend, not only on the internet, for consumers to have more control over what they experience. Marketing is becoming ever-increasingly about niches. And once the larger companies figure that out, I think you’ll see a massive shift in how products are advertised. Until then, just poke around the blogosphere.

Thanks so much for joining in the conversation.

Thanks for this great article. I totally agree: Just like marketing needs to find out what it is that the customers REALLY want from a product and find a way to put this into words and action (distribution, price, quality, etc.) in blogging you need to make sure every aspect of your work aims at your visitors, at what they need or want from your site … because this fulfillment is the only thing that will have them coming back!

Alan,

Certainly. We all can learn something from each other. I just happen to know a few marketing guru types who haven’t learned these lessons yet.

Thanks for your comments.

The video Dave put up is pretty cool. I made the link to it live so everyone could find it.

Jason, you sound like a gas. I have heard good things about you. Also Liz and others. Hello back!

You are so right about the circle of friends that Dawud is gathering and expanding, and the light he carries.

Have you all seen the 6 minute video that Dave Schoof recently made available on thedisquiet.com blog? A rather frightening piece on the expansion of population and technology. It made me want to expand my heart and connection to others, and honor the Creator.

A community like this one through Dawud and those of other deep-hearted people promotes true connection.

And this brings me to contribute that I think that a true guru is stunning in
their humility and sharing.

Thanks, Dawud. Thanks, all.

I know Guru spells G-U-R-U

Dawud I love the circle of friends you’re creating. Stuart, Liz, and other complete strangers, I say hello!

I’m an expert “Goofball” and a recovering self help junkie.

I’ve helped myself enough for several lifetimes.

Dawud, thanks for lighting the way. I’m still unpacking my blog and loving the day by day learning.

Stuart,

You got it. Whether we’re talking marketing or spirituality, it’s one’s ‘followers’ who decides how much someone is guru or expert.
