Amazing banner advertising is as great a micro niche on the net as anything else.
It's interesting how deep and how specific the niches go as the days continue to roll by.
I have seen amazing banner ads, trust me. The kind that I feel guilty NOT clicking on! I can almost sense the amount of thought and money and man hours have gone into some of them. And some, if not many are very very well done.
But here's the rub, no matter how enticing these banners can be...once you get the click through to your website, ARE YOU CONTINUING THAT VISITOR IN YOUR SALES PROCESS?
Yes or no? Be honest.
The best internet marketers out there, the ones making six and seven figures PER MONTH know that AFTER they have brought that visitor to their site through those wonderful banner ads that the job is HARDLY DONE!
They know that they need to continue to woo that person, to engage him or her to the point where that person wants to start a relationship with their website.
Big difference.
Instead of using amazing banner advertising to simply bring the visitor and then allow them to leave quite anonymously, the smartest web owners know that the NEXT STEP is to 'bribe' that person into sticking with the site and allowing the site to PROVE itself to them.
How does it do this?
Through content! Great, wonderful USEFUL and VALUABLE content.
The virtual visitor who can be turned into a continual content recipient from that website becomes, you got it, a CUSTOMER.
There is a step-by-step process to building online sales. And it starts with varied forms of effective advertising (including great banner advertising) and then it DEVISES WAYS to engage that virtual visitor into taking the step of allowing the sit to deliver them great content over time.
