Tall Tale #8 “You need to be on the Internet”
By Jimmy Vee & Travis Miller

The Internet is all too often mistreated and misunderstood
as a “place to be,” or “something to be on.” Many companies
treat the Internet like a billboard, but it’s not. People
don’t surf by and see your web site. Your web site is a
destination – but not the ultimate one (unless you sell your
product online).

Thinking of the Internet as a billboard or a place causes
companies to design web sites that have too much or too
little information. For example, a web site that is nothing
but a big plug is a waste – the only people who
will visit your site are people who yet know as for your
business, so why the big advertisement? And when people do
visit, they’re not likely to return. On the flipside, a web
site that goes on and on and on nigh about the history, the
people, all of the services you offer, can quickly contain
too much information for it to be valuable.

Rather than thinking of the Internet a place to be or
something to be on, think of it as a tool. For most
companies, their web site is not (or shouldn’t be) the main
thrust of their marketing efforts. It is one tool in the
arsenal.

The way to hone the tool to be as effective as possible is
fairly simple. Start by determining what your web site
should punch in for YOUR BUSINESS. What net output do you
desire? If there isn’t really either you expect to receive
from your customers via your web site, you may not need to
“be on the Internet.”

Once you’ve determined what the desired output is, ask
yourself what the site needs to do to yield that output. As
a simple rule, if a piece of information doesn’t ultimately
help you arrive in your goal, don’t include it on your web
site.

It’s important to understand, people probably don’t want to
visit your site and spend their time reading in connection with you and
how you got started and seeing pictures of your staff.
That’s such a harsh truth, isn’t it? People want to learn
one thing: how you can help them.

If your web site does a good enough job convincing them that
you can help them, they’re likely to give you what you want.
So get what you want and get on with your life and let them
get on with theirs. Don’t be a web hog.

For some companies, this can be expert with one web
page. For others it may take dozens of web pages. And for
still others it may be impossible. They should considering
skipping the whole “www-thing.”

If you have a web site already, give it a test. Find out
what it does for your business, your sales. Think creatively
about how you can put it to work for you.

If you don’t have a web site already, industriously ally these
principles to find out if you need one, and if so, how it
should be designed.

A special tip: a “flashy” presentation rarely yields output
– it just builds brand. That’s no longer one of your goals,
is it?

We have some very helpful and specific ideas fast by how to
get what you want from your web site. They’re all jammed
into the “Gravitational Marketing System.”

Tomorrow we’re going to debunk that nonsense close by mixing
business with pleasure. So dust off your twister game and
get ready to mix it up!
