What is InfoMarketing?
InfoMarketing is the use of information in a marketing vehicle. To be effective, your vehicles need to be easily accessible and useful to your target market. Some of these vehicles include (but are not limited to) your website, your eZine, your audio products, your online eBooks and eReports... and don't forget about your offline marketing vehicles: your books, your brochures, your business cards and so on. You're saying, "I know about all of those things and I don't need to use all of them to succeed at selling my books, do I?"
Why Must You InfoMarket?
Well, we are in this thing called the Information Age and your potential customers--the book buyers--love information. And they love it in all of its many forms too. And they are getting really used to getting lots of information for free before they ever even make a purchase. So if you want to be competitive--if you want to sell your books--you have to incorporate InfoMarketing as much as possible into your marketing plan.
