Internet Market Selection

Posted by Larry Lim


What is the central message of the marketing concept?

In essence, it's the need for businesses to identify and attempt to satisfy the genuine needs and wants of tightly defined target markets better than its competition.

As such, you can't treat the entire market as a homogeneous group of prospects, and your marketing efforts should be market-oriented as opposed to product-oriented.

Therefore, in selecting your market, you should be concerned with those commercially attractive sectors in market segments within the product form...

Which Web Host Should I Go For?

Posted by Larry Lim


Of late, a number of you have written me seeking my advice as to which web host you should host your websites with.

Here's my stand:

Of those web hosts mentioned that I'm not familiar with, I'm in no position to comment. What I can say is that I personally use ehosting4U from the "Ultimate Marketing Center" with great satisfaction.

As of now, my entire network of websites is driven by the "Ultimate Marketing Center".

Here's what it provides:

1. 500MB hosting space
2. Hosts up to 5 domain names per account
3. Unlimited sequential autoresponder messages
4. Unlimited Ad tracking
5. Affiliate management system
6. Products with resell rights...
... and more.

This is value for money considering the monthly hosting fee it charges, but what's paramount is the superior customer service support.
