Before I take my next vacation, I’m planning to do a free webinar for all my customers and subscribers. However, I’m not sure which topic to focus on for it.
Can you help?
Pick your #1 biggest need from this poll to help me choose the topic of the webinar.
You can only vote one time, so do pick the one that you think you need the most help with.

p.s. You don’t have to wait for my webinar to get training on ANY of these topics. Each is covered to varying depths inside my Internet Marketing Success Library. Charter memberships are still available for just a couple more days.

There is a constant flow of information about list building by countless people.
Likely many of them have not made a dime on the internet.
However, there is very little on how to handle a list properly.
I have gotten on some lists, where the owner thought they should hammer me with
every flavor of the day, every day. Emails filled with countless affiliate links.
I dumped them as fast as I could. A few did not have proper opt-out messages.
A few kept sending garbage, after I asked them to stop. One, I reported for spamming.
So, building a list is not the holy grail, it’s only half of the equation, and not
even the important half.

I would like to know how to start building interest in a new company, online & offline, a completely new concept that is a win for individuals, win for small businesses, win for charities (residual income) as well as being an auction site with a difference, a different kind of dating site, plus more.
I’ve been studying internet marketing the last 4-6 months or so. there is soooo much out there. Everyone has there own take on things. I’ve been in sales for almost 18 years so I have a pretty good handle how to convert prospects. I need consistent help with the technical stuff: setting up a website or squeeze page, follow up sales letters, auto responder set up, hosting , search(keyword), different systems; It can be very overwhelming….
Where to start and what product(s) to market???….

This site is still a work in progress. I need to know where to find affiliates to link to my site. & how to do that . I don’t understand how you put a link on your page.
This is off the area’s. I can’t get listbuilding done, or traffice, or affiliates
When I haven’t got my website built.
I quess thats my problem
Hi Brad,
You are alluding to the 3 types of people who are using internet marketing for business.
They are 1 of these 3 categories:
a) They have marketing/business experience, but no technical knowledge
b) They have technical knowledge (or can figure it out), but no marketing skills/experience
c) They have no tech and no marketing experience.
I personally think that the A people have the best chance of success moving forward; but the B and C people can make it if they have a proper timeline.
This will of course be self-serving, but I’ve designed the IMSuccessLibrary to appeal especially to all 3 categories, but specifically to the A and C types.
As for products, I think you should start with the product or service that makes the most credible sense for people to buy from YOU.

With all the talk about AmazonS3 and the push toward using videos, I signed up for an account. I have been able to upload one document to my bucket but don’t even know how to retrieve it. I would love a tutorial on just how to use AmazonS3 and haven’t seen on advertised anywhere else. Thanks.
Bob,
Although I have the fastest internet connection available in my area I have trouble watching most videos all the way through. I truly enjoy the way you teach, but until a new company opens up in our area with a faster speed or I buy a much faster computer or both, do you have any suggestions for me to be able to watch your material easier?
It has been so frustrating lately to only see the first part of a video before it gets stuck and refuses to go past that point no matter what I do or it will stop and start and keep doing that pattern until I am feeling crazy and irritable. It is so bad that I am about to look for only readable learning on internet marketing.
2 – I like the point raised by Andy Flogan – I’m interested in list management, relationship building, and list segmentation.
1 – Another things would be “How to build your personality and own authority status”
Creating your herd typa stuff.
3 – Quick Q: What’s a good resource to learn how to redirect links, adding links to my domain name and redirecting those elsewhere, etc.
Thanks

What I would like to know is once you have a Blog, Twitter account, Facebook…what’s the best way to tie it all together and get traffic to the Blog to be able to monitize it without looking like someone just trying to sell something. Are there quicker ways than others to get people to do business with you? I know people have to trust and like you before they will do business with you but are there ways to build that quicker.
Thanks for all your help and enjoy your trip to Poland!

hi, i guess that the current interest depends on the phase of site’s development. I need to find out structured info ( not bits and pieces that do not connect together) on all topics, but at this very moment i would like to find out about list building; after i foind out about this topic, my next priority will be how to convert visitors into customers…and the adventure goes on
thanks for twtpoll- never knew about it before…
thanks, mia
Either List Building or getting traffic to your website.
Looks like you would need one or both of these in order to achieve success.
A Website can be used to allow visitors to join your list. So start a website and whatever original content you can come up with. A website is a work-in-progress. They all have to start with a single page. So get started.

Bob & All,
I voted and I’ve read through all the replies and have continued to sip my mornin’ java as I’ve mulled over and reflected on my experiences within the context of “internet marketing”.
What have I learned? In a nutshell – a lot!
*Product/service must be top-notch
*List must be targeted and segmented
*Social/business networking skills must be effective
*”Message” must be consistent
*Approaches must be customized
*Follow-up must be spot-on (over and over)
*Learning new techniques, strategies and applications
*Associating with folks who lead rather than follow – and, who have a passion for what they do
* etc. …
In addition, I think the most important internet/face-to-face marketing “tool” I’ve learned, over time, (including the above + the “etc.”)is to _always_ be who I am, offering the best I can, to admit when I’m wrong, to learn from those experiences. After all, you’re not just what you’re “selling”; but, you’re a whole human being, too – with all the day-to-day concerns, interruptions, foibles and idiosyncrasies that come with being a human.
My biggest internet marketing need right now is – to be able to do “it”, every day, with enthusiasm, passion, commitment, openness, skill…and (frequently) a healthy portion of humor, too.
Thanks for all your good works, Bob; and, for your question and poll.
Journey safe – perhaps we can meet up in NYC.
Dance on…
Cheers!

Hi Bob,
I’d love to learn more about how to put in opt-in boxes for sales pages for teleseminars. I use icontact. I know there are other services like Aweber or Constant Contact.
Do you have some basic easy tech stuff to learn how to do this with any service?
Thanks!
Hi Bob…
You have been building a great library of courses
and products…but I don’t see anything for the
“Newbie” who doesn’t even know HTML or CSS…or
something about “Getting Down The Basics of Web Building”
Everything you’ve delivered has been geared to the
person who has paid some dues and has some experience.
Also, in this type of basics class, you might highlight
some of the different levels of websites such as the
“Membership Site vs. a Shopping Mall E-Commerce Site”
include some usages of scripts,php,mysql,etc..
Back a few years ago….you co-marketed cPanel videos.
Those are all outdated…are you going to upgrade?
In the meantime…enjoy that trip to Poland…I know
you’ll be posting updates while your traveling…
Plan a trip to South Texas sometime in Mid-August,
It’s our hottest month …come enjoy the sunshine.

I have to say that my request is for building and maintaining a website skills! I’ve been “learning” this IM business for many years and all the versions of strategies still benefit best if you also have your own website, at least as part of the mix.
As an affiliate, you want to present your “take” on the company product and present your case; many times the company’s pages stink, tho’ the product is good etc. etc.
As a successful blogger and someone who bought in to the Web 2.0 linking strategies for awhile, I find that route very time consuming. I’d rather have my own full service site and mostly just be marketing to it. However, even after years, that still requires skills I don’t have.
I recently bought a pre-made site which I can refine. I have been! The original articles leave much to be desired! Because I’ve been a blogger for years, I do have some HTML skills to refine the WYSIWYG editor on my pre-made site.
___ However, there are still template issues that I would like to be able to do more about, and re-directs etc. I also need more understanding of where to place and what to place in meta tags etc., for good SEO. The site comes with some perfunctory tutorials, but not enough for real customization.
There is a squeeze page, but I still have to buy auto-responder service, as well as hosting monthly (in place). I haven’t done the AR until I finish rehabbing the site to what I want. Then, finally, on to actually using all this info on how to “market”.
I did buy a year of “concierge” help, but haven’t seen yet how well they will answer my technical questions versus using the crew at “tech support”. Until now, the “concierge help desk” has just been getting the site up-and-squared-away and billing types of requests from me.
___ For sure, I would like to know how I can get at least part of my hosted domain / site set up with a passcode protected area to make a membership site as part of my general plan for this domain.
___ I think that requires understanding at least css but I know SO little that I’m not sure if I am even asking the right questions!
___ I definitely would like to be able to handle my cPanel with confidence and understand uploading and organizing my “space” there. So, please think about including that arena, as another respondent also mentioned.
Any way, even though web-site making and managing skills may be only 6% of your results at this time, this very experienced student KNOWS that ultimately, you do need to know how to manage your own site — at least for periodic purposes — and for me, I’ve decided, full-time.
Thanks, Bob. Have a safe-trip and enjoy!
