Political Internet Marketing

As the 2010 elections come closer and announcements of more politicians throwing their hats in running for office it is obvious a very solid Political Internet Marketing campaign is necessary. Statistics show 93% of Internet users expect politicians to have a presence online and even a higher percentage expect them to be on several of the top 100 websites.

As an expert in Internet Marketing and a Social Media Marketing Strategist I see politicians following the same old school online marketing strategies.

Being on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Ning and Friendfeed is a must but only 1/7 of the websites you should be on for 2010 and 2012 elections. Anyone who has been in the Internet Marketing game knows being on 10 different websites was 2002 marketing. Fortune 500 companies and individuals I work with are on no less than 25 websites and 99% of them are on 40+ websites with bi-daily messages left on all of them.

What political people do not understand is that the Internet moves fast and you better have a great team or company that understands not whats happening today or 3 months from now but what is going to be moving in 2010 and beyond.

So as politicians and parties ask for money, extend their brand and market themselves they most likely are missing audiences who have interest but are not being marketed by any parties.

Republicans promise to get more aggressive online using Obama methods and Democrats cling to 2008 strategies and the new Democrats hype. Both parties most likely are missing the boat and not grasping the scope of Internet Marketing.

The 2010 and 2012 elections are crucial and the time is now to get your Political Internet Marketing plan in place. Gain your captive audience today! Strengthen your Online Identity, Search Reputation and get your Internet Crisis team in place. Be aggressive online not passive! Politicians are waiting to the last minute to get their online campaigns going. They should have started 6 months ago. Use the Internet as a tool not just for email. If you do not have a clue feel free to contact me. But do not wait.

Below is a mini blueprint plan every politician should follow. If your strategy does not include 85% of this plan in a close election you can get beat. Matter a fact if my team was against yours and you did 85% we would win in a close election no problem
