 The rise of the long tail       
   Normally sales have a hype and after that, it dies off     
   But with internet, it goes endless and will not die!     
  Finding the diamonds in the rougth vertically and from the uncommon interest of individual.  Then expand it horizonally…      
        
 3 factors of profiting with niche marketing 2.0       
  1 Creating Your own ’space’ in the long tail horizontally     
   - isolating yourself not to be labeled as another website or product    
   - investing into several long tail markets to be the main one and you’ll have dominated a niche market    
   - why would they pay you?    
     solve their current problem   
     adding convenience to what they’re doing now   
     providing entertainment by giving the emotion they are seeking   
     feeding their other wants (sense of belonging, ego…etc)   
  2 Thinking “long Tail” in all your marketing aspect     
   - The long tail traffic    
    www.spyfu.com    
    hittail.com    
   - Think what other methods of market reachability that are not being used yet    
   - The long tail communication    
  3 Strategizing cross-endorsement with other long tail sites/marketers     
   - Exposing yourself in 2 different niche    
   - approach “competitors”    
   - be part of their business

Persuading the mass market     
 People Buy what they believe    
 Internet Marketing is about persuading the masses to buy what you are selling    
   it is to develop relationship and not spam!  
   You have to be seen to sell!  
    MONEY IS a infinite resource! 
 With no persuasion, there is no profit    

 4 Keys puzzle to IM    
  1 Attract stop them and attract them 
  2 Convert move browser to buyer 
  3 Leverage create opportunity to buy more 
    It’s ok to ask for help from others (eg mentor, other speakers…)

  Who can I persuade to begin relationship with in long term 
 Biggest all successful IM in common  
  They persuade in PERSON! 

  1 Visibility Be seen to sell
    Multiple ways…articles, links, search, youtube…etc
  2 Credibility Expert Data with good stat
  3 Relationsihps 
  4 Profit 

 Some of the most lucrative sales in internet marketing happen offline   
   some goals simple (eg. Pay my car loan) 
 Most Niche Markets are missing a Visible Leader   
   so there is an opportunity being visible! 
   no need to hv all knowledge, but leverage with others 
   lead the market 
 You have to be seen to sell because the most visible expert profits most.   
 1 model for systematic market domination starts with the stage   
   a stage is anywhere there is a group of people you can persuade who are interested in the products you sell. 
   or a literal stage in a group or a teleseminar or webinar 
 The psychological persuadsion technical works for all stages and time    
   Connection by asking  
                   around the world right now perople are meeting somewhere talking about products  
   POSITIONING + PACKAGING = DESIRE!  
   A desire is a buyer  
 The current state of the people desire personal development

Nuggets and Pearls       
 Focus on list and relationship building      
 Maximized the power of viral marketing      
 Things don’tt always go as planned.      
 No such things as overnight success     *catepilar don’t know they can be a butterfly.  So, just do the next logical things. 
 Keep creating content.

VIRAL MARKETING       
 Virus have to be simple and short so that people can duplicate and do.      
 IS your messaging, product, or service worth taking about?      BUZZ! Is the key integrent…
 good eg:  GMAIL      
 marketing should be on product and not the campaign      
 Create BUZZ…let people talk about it, so spread/infect it early      
 Infection stagte in your marketing      
 Delivery Mechanism      
   Forced Part of Sign up process (eg myspace.com linkedln.com, facebook.com)   
   Incentivized used WIIFM   
   Hyper Viral Piggy Backing (eg paypal.com skype.com, hotmail.com)   

 Virals shd be scalability ready!   <- take proactive action and not Reactive!

3 steps Success secrets    
 1 Move to the box where make the most acess  
 2 Adjust to the move of other (Ability to adjust!)  
 3 We look for opening with the options of highest probability of wining (usually is other mistake)  

However usually failed…cos the plan is not designed for competitive game!    
So , when mismatch, there is a choice and makd adjustment like step 2!    
So, what makes others success, cos they re-oriented and readjsuting…just like driving.    
1 dollar profit is worth 1000000000 sales but don’t make any profit!    

COMPETITIVE STRAGETY/SYSTEM
