Having a marketing plan and a business plan is essential to your success in any business. In internet marketing there are a lot of day to day tasks that must be done in order to achieve your monetary goals. This is why it is important to create a daily marketing plan in writing. You want something to keep you on track everyday.
Next to my computer I keep a notebook which has a list of the tasks I must complete everyday. Yours might look like this:
1. Make 10 forum postings on Forum A, B, & C
2. Write 2 articles and submit to article website A, B, & C
3. Make 1 blog posting.
The list should go on like this one. The specific tasks may depend on your particular target market but these are just some common actions to complete in internet marketing. This is almost like a daily marketing to do list. As you complete each item on the list you can cross it out and move on to the next action.
Having this plan in writing is very helpful because it keeps your plan in tact and keeps you on track with your plan. It’s easy to miss things when it’s not written on a detailed list in front of you. Your success in internet marketing relies on your ability to follow through with these kinds of activities. It is of the utmost importance that you get these tasks done.
As you do your everyday marketing tasks your efforts build on top of each other day by day increasing traffic to your site. Since it’s a gradual process you need to keep on track with your plan. Missing a few things here and there will make a difference in the long run.
This is how I am successful and keeping myself on a strict plan to market my business. You are sure to see results if you stick to a strict plan and do each task on a consistent basis.
Your daily marketing plan should be a part of your master marketing plan for your business. Start with your overall goal like – I want to make $50 per day. In order to get there you will need to make X amount of sales. In order to make X about of sales you will need Y amount of visitors. Break down each part of your plan until you get to the individual marketing tasks that will get you there.
Another great way to help keep yourself on track is to work with a coach or a mentor who will guide you through this process. Learn more about this and other topics on internet marketing and network marketing with my free 5 day e-course

There are so many different ways to market your website online. One very effective method is forum marketing. Before I get into this topic, you should know that its definitely not an overnight formula, it takes time for this method to build up significant results.
You always begin your marketing efforts with taking a look at your target market. What forums do you think your target market would visit? Do a google search for forums related to your topic or related to your target market. Make a list of the forums and visit each one. Read through them a little bit to get a feel for the people who visit the forum. Be careful not to waste endless hours going through forums though, it’s easy to get sucked in!
Once you have 3- 5 forums you think are good for your target market, set up an account and create a signature with a link to the page you want to market. A good page to point to is your squeeze page.
Start by introducing yourself in the forum and then start answering some posts. Your number one goal in the forums is to be helpful to the other members. DO NOT blatantly advertise your website or opportunity in a forum post. No one responds to this positively. It’s just not a good tactic. You want to become a respected member of the community. Add insightful comments and help people. If you do this then the other members will be much more inclined to click on your signature link. If you post useless comments or advertisements you signature link will be ignored.
With forum marketing you want to be consistent and create a reputation for yourself. Set a goal to make at least 5 posts on each of the 3-5 forums you have picked out each day. If you make 5 posts on 5 forums everyday that is 15 fresh links out there on the web pointing to your site. This is what we want! A good number of links pointing to your squeeze pages will increase views which will then increase sign ups. Write down on a piece of paper your forum choices and make a tally everyday of the postings you make – like a forum marketing to do list. This will help you to stay on track. I hope you found this information helpful. I’d love to hear about your successes in forum marketing!
