 Hey everybody, JR Fisher here, happy Monday. So I want to talk to you guys today about digital marketing and how you can start your career in that. A lot of people, you know, they say, well, gee, I want to sell stuff online. I want to make some money online. I have no idea where to get started. So stick with me in this video because I've got some bonus stuff at the end. But the important thing is that I'm going to give you all the steps you need. So you're not going to wonder anymore. You're going to know exactly what steps you're going to need to take. So, you know, digital marketing has really exploded. It didn't exist, you know, 10 years ago like it does today. I mean, it's crazy big today. There's a lot of money being spent. Google will do $100 billion this year in ads alone, $100 billion, and Facebook is going to be doing $40 billion. So that's pretty good money, okay? Now I'm not sure if you're new to digital marketing or not. If you're not, if you're new to digital marketing, do me a favor in the comments there. Just put I'm new, I'm brand new to this. Now if you've been doing digital marketing for a long, long time, or maybe you just did it for a year, two or three years, put in the comments, you know, I've been involved for a year. I've been involved for two years, 10 years, whatever. That way I know who's getting to see this video. Now, this information will work for you if you're a beginner or if you're advanced. So you want to stick around because no matter what level you're at, you're definitely going to get some good information out of this. So the first thing you've got to do is you've got to have a website, okay? I have a lot of people say, can I sell online without a website? Yeah, you can, you know, and some people make a living doing that, but you're never going to build up a business without a website. You're going to need that. You're going to need to be able to collect names, and I'll get into all that in just a second. So the number one step is build a website. Now where you build it is entirely up to you. You know, you can do something like Cartra where you're just building out a few pages. You can do, I prefer WordPress. I love WordPress. WordPress has been around forever, and it's one of the biggest platforms on the planet right now. If you're going to be doing e-commerce, you may want to do Shopify, something along those lines. So any of those things will work, but you do have to have a website. Now, I want you to think about the niche you want to be in. Think about the area you want to work in because you're going to work in it every single day, and that's step number two is picking that niche. What niche are you going to be in? Are you going to be in pets? Are you going to be in, I don't know, golfing? Are you going to be in cookware? Whatever it is, pick it. Now once you've picked it, I want you to go make a list of all the top competitors, and you can find them basically by just searching Google. And once you make a list of all these competitors, I want you to go to Ubersuggest. Now I'll put a link in the description for you, but at Ubersuggest, I want you to put in all your competitors and do some research. And this takes time, but this is the quickest, best way to figure out how to build your business. It's going to show you your competition where they're getting all their traffic from. I mean, it's pretty amazing. This is a free tool. Like I said, I'll put a link down there in the description. It's also going to show you what paid traffic they're getting to. So that's super helpful because you'll know where they're running their ads and all that good stuff. And it's also going to show you all of the keywords that your competitors ranking for. So you're really doing a deep dive into these competitors, and you're going to be learning all this stuff about your competitors. And that's step number two, OK? So once you've got all of that together, I want you to do step number three. I want you to go to the top pages report in Ubersuggest. Just click on it, and you're going to see all the pages that your competitors are ranking for, which is pretty neat stuff, right? Now you know what pages, what the competitors are, what the keywords are. It's also going to show you neat stuff like social shares. But here's the cool thing. It's also going to show you, it's going to show you the backlinks. Now the backlinks are where other people are actually linking to that page. And that's going to give you some really cool information because you're going to know the websites that are now linking to those top pages. Now once you've figured out what those top pages are, here's what I want you to do, build a better mousetrap. Here's what I mean by that. If they've got a really good page and it's gone into some detail, I want you to put more detail. And if it's got some images, I want you to put more images. You could even go to five or hire somebody at five or do your own custom images, which would be really nice. If they've got videos, put better videos. In other words, build a better version of what they've already built because you know it's going to rank. It already has. So if you do these things and your page is better than their page, you're going to get more traffic. So that's a really easy thing to do. It just takes some time. There's no cost to that. You just got to put in some effort. So that was number three. Number four, you need to promote your content. So here's how you're going to go about it. You're going to get a list of those people that link. Now you already know that because Ubersuggest told you what pages link. Go to their contact form and send them a message and say, hey look, I just did an article on a subject that I saw you link to on X page. You know, and show the page there so they know what you're referring to. But in my blog, video, article, whatever, I also covered these three points. So I thought you may be interested in it. Now if you do that, you are going to get a ton of traffic. These people are going to start linking to you. You're going to start getting referrals. You're going to start getting more traffic. Now you can't do this for five pages. You can't do it for 100 pages. You've got to do it for like 200 or 300 pages, okay? You've got to send this out to a lot of people. This is a numbers game. Once you've done that, I want you to now go to Twitter search. And just you can type in Google Twitter search and that'll pull up. And in Twitter search, I want you to put those pages in there, the URL of those pages. And what it's going to do is it's going to show you where that page was shared. So it's going to show you all the people that shared that page. Then you need to send a message, a private message to those people who were sharing that page. And what I want you to do is basically the same thing. I see that you've shared this information on Twitter and it's great information. However, I've done a similar article on the same information. But mine also includes these other three items. So now what's going to happen is people are going to see that information that they've already shared. Look at your information and if yours truly is better, guess what they're going to do? They're going to start sharing it. And these are the best people to send a message to because you already know they share information. You've seen it. You've got proof of it, okay? That was step number four. Now step number five, I want you to collect emails. I know, traffic's great, but without getting your own list, you're never going to be able to remark it to these people through emails. Sure, you can remark it through pixels and running ads and all that. But emails are free, okay? So I would suggest you do emails. And I'm going to suggest that you use Cartra for your emails. Cartra is amazing. I'm going to put a link in the description where you can try it out for $1. Now Cartra will, of course, help you build opt-ins and all that kind of good stuff. But the cool thing about Cartra is it's also a funnel builder. It's also a video hosting platform. It's also a landing page maker. It's also a funnel, it's all these things wrapped into ones. You don't have to buy all these softwares. And you can try it out for $1 by clicking the link in the description. So I want you to do that. Now that's number five, collect emails, okay? Very, very important. Number six, I want you to be proactive on your webpage. So on number six, I want you to get Push Crew for WordPress. Now if you're on a WordPress site, you know, just go and search the add-ons there. You're going to find Push Crew. Push Crew is really good. And what it is, it's a little box that's going to pop up at the top. And when people see the box, it's going to say, hey, get notifications, put in, you know, can we go ahead and give you notifications? And then every time you publish something on your site, it's going to actually give those people a notification. So I'll put a link in that a little later on in the description. But Push Crew is really, really good too. And if you've used these things before, put it in the comments. Say, hey, I've used Push Crew or I've used this other one. Maybe there's a better one out there that you've been using you had really good success with. I would love, love, love to see that. So, you know, go ahead and put that in there. Now that's number six. Number seven is I want you to install an opt-in box. Now please, please, please don't install an opt-in box that says, join our mailing list. Oh my God, no, please don't do that. That is so 2010. Don't do that, don't do that. They don't want to, who wants to be on an email list nowadays? I don't. I get too many emails, it's like, oh my God, I just got to delete, delete, delete, delete. So what you're going to have to do is you're going to have to offer them something of value. You know, maybe it's a PDF report, 10 steps to potty train your dog, or maybe it's five things that you could lose weight, you know, eating these foods or whatever. But make sure it has value. And if you do that and it does have value, guess what? They will give you their email and you will build your list. And this is what we're trying to do here is build that list. So that's super important, okay? That way we can send them emails and sell them more stuff later on. That's what it's all about. So that was step number seven. And then step number eight, it's obvious, right? Have you figured out step number eight? Sell something, okay? So you want to be able to sell a physical product, a digital product. If you don't have any products, go get an affiliate product, okay? But you need to sell something to make money because you did all these things. And once you've done all these things, if you're not selling anything, that's just done. You don't do that, okay? So those are the seven steps. I put some links. If you're having a problem finding a product, I put a link to my how to find a product that's profitable, that's popular, book there. And if you're new to this and you want a free course, I do have a free course there. You can opt in for it. Just click on it. It'll get you started.
