What are the definitions of Sales, Marketing and business development?
Sales are people that sale stuff, like car salesman
marketing – market a product, not necessary outcome into a sale. More of promoting the products espeically new ones.
Business Development – nowadays corporations go for this instead of the above. The tasks are wider. One need to understand the market, know their clients needs and wants, and research to develop the product that the market needs. Promote and market them. Make a sale.
This is what i understood.
i have plans to sell plug in game systems that have built in oldschool games, like 300 games. but my question is how do i get the people to come? and do these businesses roll or bust?
Don’t waste your time looking for internet "jobs." As you have seen, you’ve just made an invitation to be bombarded with all kinds of scams.
I’d like to know what sort of training and materials are required to become a search engine optimization/ marketing consultant.
seo Books will be outdated very quickly. Your best source is to first have an excellent understanding of web development, html, asp, design concepts and design standards.
You need to take online courses. These can be expensive from the top online schools but worth it in the end. You need to sign up fro the best feeds, ezines, forums that are online.
You need to be familiar with Google webmaster guidelines, ppc, link building, sem and social networking.
You have to know how to market yourself as a professional. You best bet is after training find a mentor who can guide you and teach you the ropes.
Learn how to search for what you are looking for as well. If you want to do SEO and SEM, then know how to find best information online. There are many and what I feel is best you may not based on your time, budgets and so on. So do some heavy research and reading as that will help you grow as well.
How much does site maturity impact seo? Should I make an "under construction" page and register my site with search engines before it’s up and running for SEO purposes?
Instead of putting up a standard "Under construction" page I would put up a page of text describing what will be on the site. This way if search engines find it they will know how to index it.
I currently work in online marketing covering Search and Affiliates. I would like an event that will both educate me and build new contacts in the US as I am currently UK based. I am swaying towards Adtech San Francisco or possibly an event in New York.
Adtech is a good choice and see if you can stay on for a few days and go to SMX at Long Beach.
SMX events are fantastic for networking http://searchmarketingexpo.com/social/
I have a writing and editing services company, and we currently have $4500 of our operating budget. We are planning to do direct mail marketing, advertisements in trade journals, and online marketing (pay-per-click, e-newsletters, etc). How much of my marketing budget should I allocate for online marketing?
You can test how well PPC works for you with a very short test, $100-$200.
I recommend going with Google/Yahoo Paid advertising for it’s wider audiences.
Create your most compelling ad copy and target popular keywords in your space.
Implement the conversion tracking code provided by Google / Yahoo on your "thank you" / sales lead page.
You’ll be able to determine the ROI of PPC within a short time, and short spend.
Hope this helps!
I’m currently employed at an ad agency, but not in a creative position. I want to work my way into a Copywriting position but I don’t have any produced or printed ads. If I want to put together a portfolio that showcases my skills as a writer, what all should it include?
Furthermore, how does someone in my situation land a job as a Junior Copywriter, or make the transition into a creative position?
