To make a splash in the Internet Marketing world requires that you stand out from the rest of the crowd. Most marketers will just take the standard marketing material issued by the product creator and republish it on their website or blog.

A prospect visiting the one of these websites (which looks like a replica of any one of the hundreds of similar websites using the exact same marketing material...) will likely buy from one of them at random. That is, unless a particular one stands out and catches attention.

One way of creating such focus is to become an Internet Marketing jester.

You may think of a jester, as a fool or clown, found in medieval courts. They were usually occupied with entertaining the King.

I am certainly not asking you to make a fool of yourself. Rather, I am asking you to pick up the positive elements of the jester.

• Humor as a disguise

In ancient times, jesters could poke fun at almost everybody in the court, including the king under the guise of humor. They could pass off these personal stabs as jokes.Likewise, you can target communications to your prospects to suggest that they would be foolish not to buy the product.By using a subtle appeal you be less confrontational than marketers using direct appeals and the same time, you get your message across effectively.

When mastered, this technique can be powerful and brutally effective.

• Personality

The biggest advantage of the jester identity is that it centers around yourself.

When launching a marketing campaign, people will be attracted by the fact that YOU are the one that is spearheading the campaign and the product or service is merely one of your recommendations.

In this way, you can create a strong brand. People will buy the product of your recommendation, obviously because it is good, but even more so because YOU recommended it.

In this way, you become a spokesperson for your own brand. If successful, a community will form around you, which looks up to you as the opinion leader.

This is a highly desirable position because it means you can influence a large mass of people with your personal brand.
