Paul Smithson is the founder and CEO of intellimon (Creator of XSitePro). He created the website building software I used to get started online. Intellimon have moved more into the education side to help marketers get better at marketing.

Marketers need more than tools. (I have been teaching people this with It’s not about the website ). There is a lot of information and people get overloaded. In order to locate the key areas of frustration Paul surveyed the market. We discuss the main findings here.

Focus is essential

Paul Smithson says people tend to jump from one thing to another and they should FOCUS more on the things that matter. This makes perfect sense.

Doing the right things

There is a real need for good solid well thought out training. The first course Intellimon published was the Complete guide to building websites. The next problem they tackled was the issue of Traffic.

Traffic is essential for websites

When preparing their latest traffic product they researched the market extensively with a 4000 response survey.  After analysis the results showed some very interesting trends.

People are doing a LOT themselves

SEO, PPC, Advertising designs and other manual tasks are mostly being done by people in-house. Budgetary constraints are the main cause. Paul argues that doing these things first can give you the context needed to outsource effectively. There is a natural progression from DIY to outsourcing for most new marketers. Do it as fast as you can!

Lack of Success breeds lack of success

More marketers are struggling than succeeding. Most people on the recent survey Paul conducted (almost half) make less than $10,000 per your from the online business. The low income means they cannot invest in the outsourcing to get the profits. The missing component of decent traffic is critical in breaking this cycle.

Highly educated but not making money

Many people who are doing Internet Marketing are not really getting the results they could even though on average they are very smart.  Most are probably successful in ‘offline’ business or a job but the skill of traffic eludes most. An education outside of Internet Marketing is no guarantee of success online. You need specific online training.

Hardly anyone has an affiliate program

Less than 15% of people who completed the survey have an affiliate program in place. Affiliate marketing is like a commission only program that turbo charges most online businesses. I use Nanacast to manage my affiliate program and they send my sites tens of thousands of visits each month.

Leveraged traffic strategies are very rare

Less than 7% of marketers are using teleseminars or webinars. Considering how effective online events are (both live and automated) there is a huge jump in profitability available for most online businesses. Start using these as soon as you can to build lists.

Mixed results for social media

A lot of people who use them have no clue whether these techniques are effective or not. Not all business are suited to social media however being able to manage the social media channels effectively can be a really big tipping point for others.

Email traffic is more measurable

List marketing is one of the most effective and measurable marketing devices. You can track open rates, click rates, conversions and daily opt-ins. This should be a foundation to any online business because it is an asset that continues to work well. A solid responsive database is the surest way to generate profit when used correctly.

Ideal Training solution

Rather than just watching other marketers or trying things out yourself blind, you can now get straight to the point with the new training Paul Smithson and team have put together.
