You can be a good listener when you're into online marketing by way of studying people's wants and needs.

What do they need?
You can try assessing what people's everyday necessities are by way of observing and talking with them about the products they prefer buying and why they buy it. If it's because of the quality or the savings they get, present to them a TripleClicks product that may address their preferences to make them shift their choices.

What do they want?
You

Technically, you are correct as there is no sound produced to be able to listen. As “most of the communication” is online, hence in written form, you can only be a good communicator in the perspective.

Having mentioned above “most of the communication” as there are chance that you are either communicating with some of your team members on skype or through telecom if they are from your own country. Here the aspect of listening would be of prime importance and you have to apply all

Hi Alma
To be a good listener is 1. To get the attention of your audience.
2. To connect with your audience.
3. To know what they want and how to solve it.
4. To shut down what you have to say first so as to be able to know the actual need of your audience. You don't assume.
5. To understand that online marketing is a web traffiking market, that deals with an international audience and so as a result, you must know how to build trust and mutual relationship first with your

If you're TRULY engaged in online marketing, you need to listen to those around you. Otherwise, you're not truly engaged. Listening is at the heart of any marketing effort, online or offline, because you have to elicit the values of your target audience. If you do not know their values, you will fail at recruiting successfully. You might find the occasional customer that way, certainly, but by comparison, it will be as if by accident.

Imagine yourself in the role of a stranger who

Being a good listening means that you first have to understand what your PSA/CSA is asking of you. We have to make time for our team if we choose to have one. Everyone comes to SFI with questions and yes most of the information sought is right there in black and white. Yet, remember when you joined? You didn't read all the details either and your mind raced with anticipation of a big pay day. Or maybe you are just the thorough analytical type and read everything. Not everyone does.

Great leaders are great communicators but most of all they have to be a great listener .
Everyone love to talk , in fact most have a tendency of thinking what to answer while
Someone talking to them instead of listening.

So Listening and not interrupting when someone talk is the greatest gift of all. I personally
Am a great listener, I can listen for hours if someone want to talk to me.
Sometimes I take notes of some Important things not to forget to talk about

The question"How to be a good listener engaged in Online Marketing" is very interesting.

Listening is a part of the communication. We need to be effective in our communication endeavors if we are to succeed in Marketing. The adjective added here is Online Marketing. we have to construe that written communication needs to be answered too. Now we have to see the communication of listening in Internet Marketing. To say about listening we have to appreciate the facts about communications.

You just have to continually focus on what is said, via phone, Skype etc making sure that you filly understand all of the information that is spoken. If there is anything thar you are not sure of then tell the speaker to repeat that information and clarify. You are advised to take notes during your listening session. After listening carefully and writing notes give the speaker a summary of what you have listened to for positive or negative feedback . Upon getting 100 percent feedback, you have

Firstly, try being a good listener without a computer in front of you for a month then go for six months then a year. If you can do that offline you can do it online too. It would be good to practice it for both ways at the same time. It takes practice to make it perfect. Sometimes, you can catch persons trying to commit suicide before they act upon it. Same way you can catch someone trying to commit online marketing suicide. I guess just like offline there is active listening and passive listening.
