Killing 3 Birds With One Stone
It is an old expression and I am sure you have heard it many times: It is always better to kill 2 birds with one stone. Actually, you can actually kill 3 or 4 birds with one stone, if you do it right.
If you are internet marketing there are a number of similar things that you are doing: article marketing, blogging, email marketing and possibly also forum marketing. It is a fairly easy step to combine all of these different methods without having to be constantly writing new entries for each of them. If you do a little preplanning, you can take care of all of them in one fell swoop.
It is really rather simple, you take your time to write a good solid content article for your article marketing and then with minor modifications, you can also use the same content in your blog and in your newsletter. The only difference is that in your blog and in your newsletter, you can add some direct advertising into your article. If fact, if your article is good then this is what you should be doing.
There is no sense in creating more work that is necessary. Internet marketing is time consuming as it is, why make it any harder on yourself?
The forums are a little bit different however. While a 300 or 400 word article may be just fine for an article, blog or email, it is simply far too much information to use as a topic in a forum. If it will make a good topic, rewrite it so that you only hit the key salient points and not be excessively wordy. Quite simply, in forums, you are already dealing with experts in net marketing. You only need to give them the highlights, they already have the necessary backround. In the forums, a bloated post will either not get read or you could end up with some negative feedback.
Your time is limited, so, try to make the best of it.
