If you build it, they will come...well...maybe!

"If you build it, they will come!" That's the famous line from 1989's classic movie, "Field of Dreams". It sounds great doesn't it? Full of optimism and potential. In fact, it sounds so great that it is a natural basis for justifying any kind of action.

The common online business fantasy is: 1) you can come up with a unique product; 2) you build a website to promote it; 3) you list your website with all the major search engines; 4) people flock to your site to buy your item; and 5) you get rich!

Sounds like a plan to me... after all, if you build it they will come, right?

The truth is, if you have a unique product, listing your website for it on Yahoo or Google is the least effective marketing tool there is, short of doing nothing! Why is that? If your product is truly unique, there is a good chance your target customer doesn't even know they need it!

Your product may be great! It may even change someone's life! But, if they don't know it exists, how are they going to do a search for it on google?

Have you noticed how many commercials there are during the Super Bowl for websites? That's proof that search engine marketing has its limits!


If you have a unique product, listing your website on Yahoo or Google
is the least effective marketing tool there is...


The best way to market your unique product online it is exactly the same way you would market it offline! Here's an example:

Let's say you make a craft item. You wouldn't expect to sell it by putting it on the shelf in your garage. You have to get it out where people can see it. So you have a few options:

  • You can rent a storefront and sell your items out of it.
  • You can make an arrangement with a local retailer to sell your item in their store.
  • You can rent space in a craft mall and put your items in there for people to see.
  • You can post an advertisement in the newspaper.
  • You can participate in craft sales or in a farmer's market.

    All of these options are great because they don't rely on your customer to know they need your product!

    is exactly the same way you would market it offline...


    Creating a website that is isolated from the rest of the world and only advertising it by search engine is no different than putting your product on the shelf in your garage and expecting people to come buy it. Sure, the door is left open so maybe someone might stop by and see it, but what are the odds?

    Creating a website and advertising it by
    search engines only, is no different than putting your product on the
    shelf in your garage and expecting people to come buy it...
