From a general marketing / advertising / design background - it is blindingly obvious that to make a project work successfully, and for it to actually reach the target audience and be sustainable - many ingredients are required...or the project will be a long winded and messy affair leading nowhere and wasting a huge amount of time. Sound familiar?
We need both sides.
Create new concepts and Ideas, Fresh and Innovative
Create high-end, professional graphics, quality Websites and Navigation
Create 1st Class copy and marketing strategies.
Target the right audience for the project
Predict trends
And the technical:
SEO
Web Dev
Coding
Affiliate networks
Databases
Adsense etc. etc.
Is there anywhere that links up people with the 'techie' knowledge - to those with the 'creative / design / marketing knowledge'?
Together, this is a lethal combination - and rarely appears in the 'internet marketing' scene which is plagued with appalling design, copy and lacking original ideas?
If both are applied TOGETHER, then a very successful and serious project can be undertaken.
Where can the creative skills (such as mentioned above - which my team specilizes in) be matched to the technical skills?
Once these two areas have met and been applied to the Internet marketing, it will wipe the floor of what already exists.
Any comments appreciated as its about time we did it properly.
I am happy to give advise about the creative / design / advertsing side of things.
Hi,
You have looked deeply into online business. You are right in all ways. For an internet marketing biz to succeed we need fresh, new idea that will work. New ideas are very possible to apply in the virtual world than in the real world. As you said there are some doing it wrongly
To start with we need a good website thats simple and effective. It should contain written form of explanation, audio or video as well. It should provide free tutorials so that even a newbie will be able to do it. Tutorials should cover a wide area of marketing aspects like advertising in search engines, how to use internet forums, how to create traffic etc. It should be good for both first timers and pros.
With these you will get to the right target group.
Getting the right target group is ok in one way. But to present them with the right product thats cost effective and thats very needed is equally important. The compansation plan must be good. Be sure of it... you may not get all these in just one deal. A 'business provider' should able to bring together a few online companies so that we can earn well and need not go around hunting for the good ones
About the technical aspect...the website must open very fast and must be suitable for both broad-band and dial-up connections. Members should have a good knowledge of how to use 'keywords'.
Well, I did come across one such site; please have a look at my sig file
