RAVEN5 president Michael Bickerton suggests Internet marketing is similar to all other business building functions. "It takes time, patience, and energy, and there is no real quick fix," says Bickerton. "Business owners and marketers understand it takes time to build a business and driving traffic and online activity is the same. Good programs take time, they need to be tested, use trial techniques to see what is exactly working and what isn't."

Bickerton notes that by following the 12 steps one step at a time, a business can be better positioned to build its online reputation. The RAVEN5 white paper provides a detailed overview of each of the following steps:

Contest Marketing - Starts with a kiss.
Email List Acquisition - Make new friends.
Email Marketing – Time to talk?
Website - Need a place to buy?
Content – A reason to come back.
Social - Make new friends.
Paid Ads - The largest party.
Social Ads - Meet somebody new.
SlideShare - Show your stuff.
Video - Second largest party.
Article Marketing - Build your reputation.
Lead Generation – Look for the next score.

In the accompanying video, "Social Media Pessimist," Sean Ely also highlights the benefits of starting an Internet marketing campaign with contest marketing, noting contest marketing is cost effective and it targets the five biggest wants and needs for companies.
