"An Internet Marketing Seed"

Dear Fellow Internet Marketer, I was watching this outstanding video which focuses on the much needed concept of creating a product that will allow you to expand eventually into other markets because the people that initiallly buy your product will also buy your next products because of the close relation of the products to each other. You see this is about creating an internet marketing kingdom, a virtual empire of products that all start with one tiny seed that is planted in the fertile soil of those hearts that are eager for your particular product. For example, I am in the process of creating a set of onlline videos where I teach students the various techniques needed to speak English. My area of expertise lies in the field of ESL(English as a second language) of which I have been blessed to have over 10 years of experience teaching to adult learners. My target market would be foreign adults who wish to learn English via video. I realize though that if I wish to branch out and sell different yet similar products later I will have to pick a product that these learners would also enjoy. I remember having some great end of the semester food parties in the classes that I taught where both myself and my students brought in dishes from other countries that many enjoyed and this lead me to the idea of having an esl cookbook with recipes submitted from actual students and selling that cookbook to other esl students online. Branching out even further if there was enough interest in the cookbook a cooking forum could be established as well as an online cooking class with graduates of my esl video courses eventually teaching the course. But It is amazing to see how all this began from this one little seed namely the online esl videos and spread to a cookbook, a cooking online school and a cooking forum. As we all know marketing is a numbers game and the bigger of number of people that you have on your marketing list the better your chance of survival and dominance. Think about your seed before you plant it. You want to plant it so it can grow and grow and grow into something huge. When you look into the jungle what do you see trees, trees and yes more trees. That is what I want my product to turn into names, names and yet more names of individuals who want my first product and my second and my third and I could go on. The cool thing about it is that those who may not be interested in esl may be interested in cooking and vice versa. I could use the cooking bait to reel in the esl fish and use the esl bait to reel in the cook book fish. Boy, I hope all this food talk is not making you all too hungry to finish this article. I hope it is making you hungrier to find a product that you can develop or a market that you can enter that has the potential to be that seed that which will turn into money jungle. This will give you the freedom to spend time doing what is really important not just going to a job you don't like just to survive. I hope to create an online marketing kingdom where I am the king and my wife is the queen and my daughter will have the choice to attend college or as the princess of the family become the boss while the queen and I enjoy our travels. It all starts with this one seed. The Bible talks about having the faith of a mustard seed and what can happen if we have just a bit of faith. We have to have dreams, big dreams and seeing those dreams become realities is quite inspirational and shows that this internet marketing thing is real. No one in your circle of naysayers can argue with your results unless they choose to be up against the truth of your success. Much Continued Success, Lao Anthony
