    Hi

    I’m keen to explore how some of these methods will work and (hopefully) yield results for my new business: Impress Training.

    Having set it up for over a couple of months, we’re really working with zero marketing budget so the Net is currently our stable vehicle for getting news about our courses out there amdist the sea of others.

    Fortunately, I’m a great believer in the power of the web and insisted that our business should have a blog ( http://impresstraining.blog.com ) and should be kept up-to-date, and more importantly useful to those reading it.

    I’ll check back and see if these methods worked for us.

    Regards
    Mark James Normand

    From Stuart:
    Good implementation there – I’m just wondering why the use of the headers and royalty free images. From a copywriting standpoint, it tends to reduce conversions. You might just want to get rid of irrelevant photos. You’ll know that a photo fits if there is a suitable caption related directly to the paragraph.

    In my experience, article writing attracts far more people who are far less willing to part with their hard earned money.

    Stuart Says:

    Well that really depends on what kind of articles you write. I’ve always suggested that quality overrides quantity, but you need to do both. Also, it depends on the way you lay out your articles. For instance, there’s a whole ton of people who are just submitting crappy articles or rehashes of the previous guy’s articles. Information doesn’t create loyalty. Information creates interest. Build more substantial reports so that you can market your content via article writing. Just my 2 cents

    Hi Stuart,

    Thanks for the list. I just ventured into internet marketing lately and must admit that there are lots of things to learn and you have provided a great list for us newbies to refer to.

    Thanks

    Hey Stuart,

    Thanks for the list man! What an eye opener it has been. Thanks again.

    Thanks Stuart for sharing these good tips and tricks. I am beginning to like to come to your site more often.

    Indeed, once a person chooses to BELIEVE that a) good things can happen, b) a BIG BREAK has come your way, knock and doors are indeed opened, ask and it shall be given.

    Sounds religiously familiar, but NO, I am just a Deist, with no particular religion.

    Stuart,

    Thanks. This 101 is really useful (for people who are new to internet marketing) and practical (albeit some may be more technical for someone new to internet marketing tools, e.g. “Optimize your webpages for meta tags, title tags and H1 tags”) as most of the tip will surely help someone’s day to go smoother.

    Just one more tip that is not in your list: visit the IMA mother-ship website often and peruse all the tips and/or tools available.

    Cheers…
    Robert W
