One of the most important elements of marketing is your mailing list. In fact, it’s probably your single, most valuable asset.

What you do with your lists, how you communicate to your public, what you say, what you promote, what words you use in your emails to your customers, all these things make a huge difference in the success of your online business. So how to do you figure out what to say in your emails, what’s effective and what isn’t? TESTING, that’s how.

So in this week’s live show I decided to give a live demonstration of how Aweber works as a split-testing tool. For those who don’t know, Aweber is an email/autoresponder service. One of the great features of Aweber is a testing tool, where you can test variations of an email and determine which communicates best to your own public.

Google is currently working with Dish Network, Bloomberg TV, and NBC Universal to allow Adwords users to create TV ads on several different TV networks.

This service is currently only available for national targeting, and only to people with an Adwords account, as it is part of that interface. But you can see that Google is working hard to make your ads available everywhere consumers look: desktop computers, mobile phones and now TV.

For more information on what impact this can have for you as a small business owner, watch the video clip from my live show below.

1. Everyone and their mother owns a smartphone of some sort: an iPhone, a Blackberry, an Android.
1a. Smartphone users do internet searches from said smartphones.
2. There are thousands upon thousands of smartphone apps available for free or for purchase from the iTunes store, and thousands more from third party developers.
3. In the past few weeks Apple has cracked down HARD on the developers of “cookie cutter applications” created from templates. They do not want apps in their iTunes store that are basically glorified business cards or that don’t really provide an excellent service to users.

Translation: There is so much activity going on with smartphones and apps, Apple now has had to come up with regulations controlling the quality of apps that are created and offered on the iTunes store.

And what does this mean to you, the business owner? You better get on the mobile marketing bandwagon. And quickly!

Get in line at your local Apple store, because the awesome new iPad will be available for purchase starting this Saturday! You can also enter my contest to win a FREE one, by going to My iPad Contest.

That bridges over nicely to something I mentioned in a recent live show. Traditional desktop searching is changing rapidly. The way people are consuming the internet is changing. And as a business owner, it’s vital that you stay on top of these changes so that you’re not left in the dust. Mobile marketing is not just the future of marketing, it’s the NOW of marketing.

More and more people own mobile devices and use them for a majority of their internet searches. People search for the places they need to find while they’re out and about, from their iPhone or Android or Blackberry. And now the iPad will be the next mobile device, and along with it is coming Microsoft’s “Digital Journal” and HP’s version of the same.

The days of looking up things in the Yellow Pages are long over. And now even looking up things from your home computer are soon to be a thing of the past. It’s time to start marketing your business to the mobileverse. Think 4square. Think Yelp. Think Admob. Think local. For more information on this subject, watch the clip below. And make sure and stop by my live show at BusinessInnerCircle.com on Tuesday nights for training on local marketing and advertising.

We often have the urge during traditionally “tough” economic times like holidays, to go into agreement with them, and blame those holidays or seasons for drops in our sales, low income, etc. What times are “tough” depend on what business you’re in. We say “Things are always slow this time of year” or “It’s the economy” or “It’s the holidays”. But saying those things doesn’t improve the situation, it just justifies low production.

Instead what you SHOULD be doing is not agreeing with it. Do the exact opposite of what your urge is. Promote MORE. Make MORE phone calls, get out MORE promotional materials, MORE direct mail, see MORE customers.

The solution to any low production time is to promote and market your way out of it, even if it DOES mean spending a little bit of money to do so. It will be worth it.

Online marketing is not something you can succeed at by trying one thing one day and then dropping it because you don’t make a million dollars in a week. That strategy doesn’t work in ANY career. If you want to be a doctor or a chef or a plumber or WHATEVER, first you decide. Then you study, you practice, you study more, you practice more. You become competent through study and practice. That is always how it’s done, and this field is no different.

The key is PERSISTENCE. Noone has ever become a professional at anything without persistence. It is the one thing that separates the successful from the unsuccessful.

In last week’s live show I went over this exact point. So here’s the clip for those of you just starting, or those of you on the verge of giving up, or those of you who’ve been at it for years and want a little reminder of why you persist. And for anyone else who just feels like watching. Cheers!
