How high is the demand for online marketing reps? Where can I be trained? Any free on-line sources available?
I’ve been in sales and Direct Mail Marketing for a pizza chain and then car dealerships for the last couple years. I am now a stay at home Dad trying to find a new career. I realize how valuable on-line marketing experience can be from my other position, dealing with dealerships who are choosing to only utilize internet advertising while cutting off radio, tv etc. I’m just not sure where to begin. I’m a new Father and husband and have about 9 months to commit myself to learning something to enable a stable income. Thank you for your input.
I’m not meaning a stay at home survey taker or Herbal life dealer. I am talking about basically being an agent specializing in internet sales/marketing for a company that would pay me for my time. What are the skills and demand needed to be considered for this type of position?
First of all, congrats on being a stay at home dad. Most of us men can’t or won’t do it. I’m not a stay at home dad, but I spend more time with my kids than most stay at home moms do.
Internet sales and marketing is a tough business. With search engines changing the rules all of the time, ie Google, it makes it nearly impossible to stay on top. Let’s not even talk about the cost.
There is a relatively new approach called attraction marketing. Attraction marketing is basically getting people to chase you down. It’s opposite from the traditional marketing approach. You don’t bombard people with a message until it sticks. You learn to position yourself so that individuals looking for your skills, knowledge, or products will come seeking you out.
There are a number of companies that teach this approach. I use Renegade University. I highly recommend what they teach. They do offer a trial period for free.
