The Yin & Yang of Internet Marketing
Westerners believe opposites flow in a natural cycle always
replacing the other. They tend to look at things as black or
white, right or wrong, up or down, giving a separation and
unrelated-ness in their perspective.
Chinese view opposites as evolving and cycling. There is neither
right nor wrong, but rather there is balance, transformation,
interaction and a dependent opposition. Think of it as a duality
that cannot exist without both parts.
Now let’s apply this theory to Internet Marketing. When I first
came online I subscribed to many Ezines and Newsletters and
didn’t always pay attention to the ads, but I did read the
articles and editorials. They were my “information hotlines” and
why I subscribed in the first place.
It wasn’t long before I discovered ezine article submissions.
Here then is the Yin & Yang of Internet Marketing: all
publications need content --- all content (articles) need
publishers. Now I could put the two together in a duality that
could not exist without both parts.
So I began to write articles and submit them to various
publications. Every article contains a short bio of the author
and their business. It also includes a website and email
address. What a great way to promote! I began getting more
visits to my website and more subscribers to my Newsletter. This
became a chain reaction with every new article and every new
submission.
But more importantly, the visitors to my website were qualified
leads already interested in the subject material of my article.
How did this happen? Because my article was chosen by John Doe,
publisher after determining that it matched his target market!
Auto dealers don’t look for health product articles, right?
When people read a well-written article, they view the author as
an expert. Publishers looking for content are no different. Many
do not have the time or inclination to write, but they want to
publish an expert, not a nobody.
