If the statistics that are floating around
are correct, only two to five of every
hundred will be successful online. This is
a very frightening statistic.
Why are so many doomed to fail?
There are many reasons for failure but I am
going to tell you a four things that can
improve your odds for success.
1. Promote Yourself
This can be one of the most beneficial
steps you take on your journey to success.
Don't be shy. Don't be afraid to get your
name out in front of as many as you can
and as often as you can.
Offer quality products and associate your
name with valuable products. Don't just
promote everything that comes along.
Articles, email courses, a quality ezine
and a website with valuable information
are a few ways to put your name in a
favorable light.
If you don't promote yourself, it's not
going to happen.
2. Look Beyond Today
Look beyond today when you market. We all
need to make a dollar today but building
your business for tomorrow will help ensure
success.
Building your subscriber list will bring
future profits. Don't neglect this for
instant profits.
As your list grows, you will find that
you don't have to spend as big a percentage
of your advertising to obtain new subscribers.
When you first start building a list, the
larger percentage of time and effort you put
into obtaining subscribers or clients, the
faster your business will grow.
It is sometimes very difficult to discipline
yourself. It is much more tempting to try
and sell the latest hot product then it is to
run an ad to try and get subscribers.
This is an ongoing struggle.
Just remember, the faster you add subscribers,
the more income opportunities you will see.
Once you have a few thousand subscribers,
everyone wants to do business with you. This
provides you with many more options. You will
have the leverage to trade for most any type
ad or service you want.
3. Be Honest and Help Others
Run your business with class. Don't use spam
or any other underhanded tricks to get
subscribers.
It takes a lot of time and effort to build
a good reputation. One thing putting your
name in bad light can tarnish all you have
worked for.
Helping others succeed by giving a little
of your time and knowledge is one of the
best promotion tools around. It's Free!
Use It!!
4. Seek Knowledge
If you want to be successful, seek more
knowledge. This is a rule for every part
of life and it is no different in the
Internet Marketing world.
There are a lot of successful people online.
The ingredient they have that you lack is
knowledge.
There are some great sources of knowledge
floating around. With a little time and
effort, you can get a lot of useful
information.
The more knowledge you acquire, the more
successful you will be.
The numbers say, your chances of success
online are small. Do the little things
and defy the odds for success.
