In the business development world, people want to grow relationships. It is often assumed that both sides want to develop the relationship. But in internet marketing, the relationship is often just one way. The buyer is going along with their life and the marketer is trying to persuade them to take an offer or make a decision — often when they are not really ready to make one.

The best way to bring all these things together and to make everyone happy (on both sides of the relationship) is to build trust and report with your audience. If we stop trying to hurry the close and push the service or product we always win.

The BizDevMark team is actually doing this with our marketing — to you. We are here for you every day, providing free content and resources to help make your life better. We very rarely present an offer or sales pitch because that is not what this site is about. We prefer to build a relationship and be accountable to you.

Yes I know that sounds corny and trite but it is the truth. So if you’re a marketing professional your job is to do the same thing over and over, until you can’t tell your friends from your prospects!

A look at video marketing traffic volumes can take your breath away. Youtube is now the 2nd largest search engine in the world — if you break it out from its #1 parent Google that is. More people search Youtube than most other search engines combined. All this traffic provides a powerful vehicle to get your message out.

But as we often caution clients; you just cannot ‘create’ a viral video. The viral pull of a particular creative is something organically spawned in the crowdsphere, not in the boardroom.

So where does that leave aspiring video marketers? They’re sweaty with desire to attract the level of video views they see on hotlist videos. Ironically those numbers do not make up the bread and butter video traffic you need to have a successful video marketing campaign.

Let’s examine some of the keys to real success through video marketing:

In order to find out if you are successful or not, you need to know if you’re moving in a good direction and the only way to know that is to understand what kind of ROI you’re getting. There are lots of important statistics that figure into this like how many views you get, how many times the video gets played, etc. The internet is full of tools that you can use to measure these types of statistics so that you can figure out which steps you will need to be taking next.

Don’t Create a Sales Pitch: In order to help your video stand out from everybody else’s marketing clutter, you need to focus on providing value, not just making sales pitches. There isn’t anything wrong with getting out there to sell your product but don’t try to do it directly with your videos.

If you are like most people you spend money everyday somewhere somehow. This is just a fact of life. If you are like a lot of people you are looking for ways to make some extra money. Being able to combine shopping and making money is like a dream come true. That is where a new local marketing campaign comes into play. There is a program called WeReward that makes this easy. We reward was started by a leader in the innovative world of Social Media Marketing. IZEA created sites like SocialSpark and SponsoredTweets. They are breaking new with WeReward. It is really very simple. First go to wereward.com, signup and download the mobile application that works with your phone. WeReward works on iPhone, Android, and soon Blackberry phones. Every time you check in or complete a task you earn points. One point equals one penny. Once you accumulate over 1,000 point or $10.00 you can cash in using PayPal. This is easier than you think because there are 15,000 participating businesses. There is a profile page for every business or task in the WeReward system. Each profile page has instructions. You follow the instructions, earn points and claim your reward. There are usually instructions and guidelines that you follow to take a picture of yourself at the location or using the product. This is so easy and fun to do. I mean getting paid to shop at places where you normally shop and get paid. This matches local consumers with local businesses. It really is no wonder that this marketing program has been successful. It really doesn’t matter if you are a customer or business; this is a program that everyone should take advantage of.

But like we talked about earlier, there are still some great ways to make money out there. You can do it on the Internet or you can do it in your home town. For example, one of the coolest ways you can self-employ yourself and work part time while job hunting (if you must) is to set up as a booth, kiosk, or roadside vendor. It’s cheap to get started and you can make some great money.

One very nice company to work with is Moda Sunglasses. They provide nice packs with assortments of high quality wholesale sunglasses you can order and resell for a great markup and still have room to give excellent prices. Check out their site and see the styles and prices and do some thinking about how you could set up to sell these locally or even at online auctions.

Anyway, the world is changing and unless we figure out how to employ ourselves instead of running around trying to fight for the latest crappy job available things are only gonna get worse.

Dwayne – You seem kind of like a guru on the online shopping stuff. My husband and I want to try and make some extra money by doing something online. We both have jobs but we figure we can spend about 3 hours on each weeknight and one weekend day to make a go of selling something on the net. We have a few hundred (maybe $500) to put into it. Can you suggest anything? We see the wholesale and dropship ads all over. Does that work?.

Answer:

Howdy Kelly;

Okay that is a great dream and a nice nest egg to start with. First you’re not going to replace your day job any time soon with a $500 investment, but with a little elbow grease and several weekends you can parlay that into something that will pay a car note and maybe create some mad money to boot.

First while I urge you to look into wholesale and dropship options, don’t just leap into anything just because of a sales pitch. Remember that landing page sales copy can be very persuasive and is designed to separate you from your money before you have time to carefully consider. So look into these options then come back and ask for any further advice once you find one you like.

Also consider novelty. Suppliers for novelty items like sexy panties and gag gifts are also an option.

Wholesale or Dropship products:

These are fun. There are aggregators like Doba and Simplix who you pay a fee to and they give you access to many ‘so-called’ wholesale products. Be careful because they are usually closer to 25% off retail so not really wholesale.You can also look into getting individual products and specializing once you find a good wholesale source. For example you can look are and select say, wholesale sunglasses to get started. Setting up a specialty stand at a flea market or the corner of a busy parking lot can make you more in a weekend than a year of eBaying the junk at Doba.

Remember that a lot of other folks are out there trying to make a few extra bucks on the web. If you take a moment to think and talk about differential marketing (how you can be different from everyone else) it can pay off tons.
