Internet Marketing ABC

Want to become a msater of research? Well, you should if you are serious about making money online. Because while there are many products out there that will promise you: “just follow my step-by-step plan and you’ll get rich!”very few of them can deliver.

Doing research is the most boring part of internet marketing – but it’s also one of the mostimportant tasks. If you don’t do proper research, you don’t know what you’re doing. If you do proper research, you have a way of checking your idea against reality. You are able to make data-based-decisions.

Research can’t guarantee success – but it will guarantee that you improve on previous results.

Robin Broitman published a great post where he assembled online research tools that you can use to research… well, pretty much anything!

I have really good research skills, but there are lots of research and monitoring services in this post that I never heard of and am testing out right now. And so should you.

As a marketer, you pay half your rent by just doing effective research. Google is probably the greatest research tool out there, but there are lots of other, great, spezialized research tools too, like video search engines. One of them that I like to use is Pixsy. Pixsy is nice because it delivers really fresh results.

More video search engines:

• Blinkx
• Yahoo video search (specially interesting: the popular video searches function)
• fooooo (despite that extremely stupid 5-0 name)
  
• Truveo
• VideoSurf
• Yidio

And if that’s not enough for you, check out Wikipedia’s list of video search engines.

Plus, ReelSEO has published an impressive list of the biggest video search engines (status: January 2009).
