More and more people are considering the World Wide Web as a
great opportunity to offer their products and services to a new,
bigger market or even as a chance to create entirely new
businesses online.
Even if the perspective to reach millions of potential
customers is surely exciting, the truth is that internet
marketing is more difficult than it may seems and if you don't
have a sufficient experience you will usually waste a lot of
time and resources doing things that don't produce the results
you expect.
For this reason, seeking advice from competent internet
marketing experts is essential if you want to succeed online.
Hiring a consultant can be very expensive, but fortunately this
is not the only possibility.
In fact you can utilize one of the many internet marketing
informational products (like books, manuals or ebooks) that are
available online.
There are complete courses that deal with every possible aspect
of the entire process of building, managing and promoting your
business online.
Other products concern very specific topics like how to write
effective advertisements or sales letters, or how to promote
your site on search engines.
You can usually choose among a great variety of media formats:
printed manuals, downloadable ebooks that allow you to use the
product immediately, CD-ROMs, or even videos and audio tapes, if
reading a big manual is not something for you.
The only risk is to be confused by so many possible choices. So
how can you determine the product more suited to your needs?
When I need to decide about the purchase of an informational
product, the first thing I do is reading each and every page of
the author's site.
You may think that the informations on a site designed to sell
a product are, by definition, not objective.
But you can still find a lot of useful elements that will help
you with your decision.
The following are the most important for me.
1) How is the product presented?
Reputable authors will never tell you that you will be able to
make a lot of money without work simply by reading their ebook
or manual.
They will warn you that personal efforts are always needed to
succeed online and every concept you learn must be applied to
your particular situation.
Disappointment is the only thing you will earn from an
informational product that is presented like a 'magic recipe' to
make money fast and without efforts.
2) How many details the author gives about him/herself
especially with regard to past business experiences?
You want to be sure that you are about to spend your money to
learn proven techniques successfully tested on real businesses
not some vague theory.
3) Does the site contain customers testimonials? Do they sound
genuine?
A testimonial should be always followed by a full name, a
website or email address so that it can be verified.
4) What kind of guarantee is offered should you dislike the
product once you have purchased it?
Ideally every good informational product should be covered by a
full money back guarantee as it's always the best protection for
your investment.
If you pay attention you will find many other elements that
will tell you a lot about the author and the product he/she sells.
Learning how to market online is an ongoing process. Even if
your personal work is always needed, with ebooks, manuals,
courses you can learn from successful marketers experiences,
concentrate your efforts on strategies that worked for them and
consequently avoid mistakes and save time and resources.

informational product.
