Internet marking for the holidays

I was speaking with an online friend through face book and this person was telling me that this time of the year is the largest part of their income for the hole year. Do to they only sale products that's very holiday specific.

I ask the reason for only selling holiday based products and services. This is when I learned something very important to Internet marketing. I found that it's not about the products and services as much as it it is about the people you have on your list.

Now, I know about auto responders and building a list for product and service. What was shard with me made me think twice about my list and how I used it. I was informed that eight months out of the year, once amount, is sending emails in bulk to prospects along with sharing stories and sending videos and pictures of vacations and even sending invites to a child's wedding.

Now at first I was thinking to my self dam you lonely has hell or bored and need to some more online projects and was about to start with my sales pitch to draw this person in on my opportunity, but instead something inside said no, just see where these person head is and see what knowledge you can gain from this conversation.

After chatting on line for about 30 minutes we decided to speak over the phone. During that time we talked about our families and friend and how we got started with online marketing. This was one of the most productive business meeting with know sales I have ever had with some one over the phone.

After talking for another hour I asked, don't you have the desire to make more money on line with your business that's when I was informed that this what they did on line but rest of here life they only did things that they enjoyed doing but only did it when thing where slow like finding homes for investors. That's when I was informed my site shared a program called Freedom soft and the only reason this person checked it out was because of the ward "freedom". Now all this time I was trying to think of a way to sale and a sale was made with out me selling.

I asked was that the only reason you made the purchase and was told hell know, it was because of what we are doing now, becoming friends. That when it all came together for me with online marketing. People only by from people they fill they know and trust.

Now I put more of me in my blogs and don't take this online marketing thing to serous. I just relax and get to know the people I'm selling to and getting to know some on a higher level. I ask things like what are they looking to do with their online business, what is there five year plan to grow their business, do they have family/friend support, what do they like about what they do and are they helping others. these five question can give you so much information about a person but it can also tell you how to help them to succeed and even build a great friendship. So use your auto responder for more that just a net and landing page to capture your clients. Use it to nourish your business. It's better to have a small group on your list that is loyal to your product and services then to have a large list of people that will never by any thing you have to sale.
