Spiderman Meets Internet Marketing

Welcome on board. Thank you visiting EMoneyMarketing.com for the first time! I hope you will find some value here. Cheers!

Yesterday I just caught Spiderman 3, and I was pretty blown away by the special effects, storyline and some of the emotional scenes. The best in the series in my view.

You know, while watching the show, it dawned on me that there are certain aspects of Spiderman and the film itself in general, that Internet Marketers can learn from.

We already have an insect associated with Internet Marketing before, so to link Spiderman with Internet Marketing is not that far-fetched.

In case you are wondering what is that particular insect that is associated with Internet Marketing, remember Mike Filsaime’s Butterfly Marketing?

Alright, if we can have Butterfly Marketing, surely there must be some space for Spidey Marketing – The Superhero That Saves the Internet Marketing World!

Lameness aside, here are some stuff that we can learn from the web-slinging masked nerd-hero:

1. He cast his sticky strong powerful web far and wide, saving many people in the process, earning him legion of fans

Spidey Marketing Lesson #1

We must come out with strong value added content that are ’sticky’ to get people to come back and yearning for more.

Like Spiderman, we have to create a vibrant and busy community WEB of our own. Think blogs. Think forums. Think social networking. Think social bookmarking. Think Yahoo and Google Groups.

Connect, interact and get exposed!

2. He goes around helping and saving people who are in distress. In the process, many people got to know how great and wonderful Spiderman is. They come to trust and love him. Such a friendly neighborhood hero!

Spidey Marketing Lessons #2
?
Help people who are facing problems. Go to forums and answer questions that members may have. Move around to other people’s blogs and give good, sensible and constructive comments. Do it genuinely and sincerely.With that, you can get good exposure. You gain credibility. People come to trust you, and they will go to your site. When you help others, you get helped.

This can translate to more traffic and not to mentioned, higher sales!People will be more receptive to your selling, because you have already pre-sold and warmed them up by willingly helping and providing good advice, service or content.

When you get people into your list, don’t just bombard and hard sell your subscribers. Give them value and make them happy. You make them happy, they will make you happy.

3. Spiderman does good – time and time again!

Spidey Marketing Lessons #3

Don’t stop at providing help and great content for just a few times. Do it consistently. This is especially so, when it comes to the content in blog. When you give good content on a consistent basis, people will come back for more – which means a continuous targeted quality traffic for you, which you can potentially monetize from in future! And they will gladly let you sell to them!

4. Spiderman not only saves the very lovely Gwen Stacy, that lucky bugger even gave her an upside-down wet kiss for good measure, driving her delirious.

Spidey Marketing Lessons #4

We have to think about going the extra mile and overdelivering. Of course, it helps a lot when your client or customer is a HOT blonde. smile_tongue That will surely give you the extra motivation.

Well of course, I do really mean that we should over-deliver to everyone, not just hotties.

5. Spiderman went through a period of self-reflection, and realized that he has been an arrogant prick and has veered towards the dark side. He understands that he has made a mistake and make up for it by ditching the dark suit (and going naked).

Spidey Marketing Lessons #5

Internet Marketing is all about testing. If a certain campaign or exercise doesn’t work or give optimal results, move on to a new one. Be big enough to admit mistakes. As some people will say, don’t flog a dead horse. Doing otherwise will only stagnate progress, costing you both time and money!

6. Spiderman teams up with Harry Osborne (aka Green Goblin Junior) to battle their formidable foes, Venom and Sandman, eventually defeating them.

Spidey Marketing Lessons #6

Sometimes it doesn’t do any good to go it alone. With the right joint venture partner whose assets and skills can complement yours, there will be greater LEVERAGE which also means greater potential for development growth and higher profitability margin.

7. Spiderman goes all out to save his girl (Mary Jane Watson) at all cost, against all odds. He is just so damn sweet to her!

Spidey Marketing Love Lessons #7

Yes, making money is important, but don’t forget and neglect your loved ones. Be there for them when they need help, and don’t be afraid to get help from them too. After all, even Spiderman needs help.

If you are reading this, go tell your loved ones that you absolutely adore them. Not later, not tomorrow but NOW!

No money in the world can substitute love, care and concern from friends and family. Treat them well.

Wow…writing this piece took me 2 hours! Far longer than I expected. I certainly hope you like what you are reading. Do you have any more Superhero Spidey Marketing Lessons and Tips to share? C’mon be nice. I wanna hear them.

Writing all these just gave me an idea. I think I should come out with a Spidey Marketing script like Mike Filsaime did, and program it to perform all the functions that I’ve stated. Then I can declare that this is the one solution that will take the Internet Marketing world by storm and change it’s history. Hey if a butterfly can do it, a radioactive spider certainly can!

Excellent article Sha. Especially the piece about looking for opportunities to answer people’s questions and solve their problems. A great way to give value! I can’t say I share your opinion of the movie though…I thought it was the worst of the trilogy. Incredible special effects though.

Hey buddy, nice work! Yeah, I watched Spidey too and it was great!

Came up with possibly another lesson from the movie. Remember the reporter who was consumed by the parasite in the later part of the movie (to become Venom)? I felt that the guy was over-zealous in trying to climb to the top, and in the end, with some bad luck (in the form of evil Spidey’s revenge!) he crashed to the bottom. So in terms of Internet marketing, this lesson can be applied in the sense that one cannot be too hasty to make money. An Internet marketeer must do his homework before he can expect the bucks to flow in.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

Ermmm….I’m not Sha.

Thanks for your comments. Yeah I’ve some friends saying that they prefer the other installments in the series. I do admit that some part of the show is a bit draggy.

Nevertheless, the whole Spiderman trilogy is great!

Hi Bryan,

Thanks buddy for your comments!

Yea you made a great point! I think there is no easy path to success. There is always a lot of hard work involved.

Many people have fallen by wayward side, because they are always gunning for get rich quick scheme. Doesn’t work that way!

Cheers buddy!

Hi YongSing,

this is really an interesting article!

Yup building up on what you and Bryan have said, once our minds are clouded with the get rich quick mentality, it will only result in us falling. And when Spidey was concerned about the fame and glory, it caused him to move to the dark side.

Should learn from Spiderman who helps without expecting anything in return. That’s the true spirit of a super hero, or a super internet marketer. ;)

Hey Calvin,

Thanks! I just feel that to receive something, we have to first give, and that is what spiderman does in abundance!

Definitely lotsa things we can pick up from Spidey!

Yeah Spidey 3 is about 5 times better then 2 was. And the internet even has a spider. Webcrawlers are used by all the search engines and one of them was even called webcrawler.

And of course good job with the marketing tips. If you did a book on that you could probably get a publisher for it.

Wow! Thank you so much for your compliments. I’m floored….

Anyway i will be moving my marketing tips and stuffs over to a new blog, as I just set up a company to provide marketing consultancy with a partner.

And yes, how can I forget? The net has web spiders too. Lol..

Thanks for your nice comments Dave!

#4 is a big one – just remember to underpromise while you’re overdelivering, and you’ve got a winning combination.

Hi Green Llama,

Good one! Yes underpromising and over-delivering is a deadline combo indeed. I definitely subscribe to that!
