Marketing Tips For Internet Beginners
The reason most people fail to make money on the internet is
because they don't have the knowledge and tools they need to
market their business effectively and successfully. They just
end up spinning their wheels because they don't know where to
start and neglect to develop and follow a consistent marketing
plan. The following tips should make it easier and less
frustrating for the new business builder.
Tip #1 Find a target market and serve those customers willing
and able to buy. For example, a target market would be work at
home entrepeneurs. This market needs the best informational
products designed to help them succeed online. Ideally, this
would be a great niche market to sell informational and
marketing tools to.
Tip #2 A blueprint/plan is vital when you are first starting
out. If you don't have a step by step plan knowing where you're
going, it is like driving a car without a roadmap. Know where
you are going. A step by step plan takes you by the hand showing
you what needs to be done through daily tasks.
Tip #3 Set aside so many hours or particular days in the week as
to when you are going to work on your business and stick with
it. CONSISTENCY is the KEY. Treat your business like a hobby and
you will get mediocre results. If you treat your business
seriously expect to accomplish more than the 95% of the people
who get online attempting to make a buck. There is no f-r-e-e
ride. Realize that and you are ahead of the game. Stay
consistent, use the best tools, and treat your business
seriously.
Tip #4 Find a mentor, support person or even a support network.
This is vital when you are first starting out. These people can
share the wealth of their knowledge telling you what works and
what doesn't work. And they can keep you motivated. Remember,
they started out just like you. Joining a community discussion
group of internet marketers is another good idea. You can pick
up a great deal of f-r-e-e information and have any questions
answered. Support groups/mentoring is invaluable when you are
first starting out.
Tip #5 Read inspirational books. I highly recommend "Think and
Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. The principles in this book have
been the blueprint used by some of the most successful and
influential people. It has been often said that in order to be
successful, learn from successful people. Join a group of like
minded people. You many find these people in your community or
on an online discussion board.
So to recap: Find a target market and serve it well Follow a
blueprint Set up a schedule as to when you will work on your
business Find a mentor or support person Read
inspirational/motivational books
E-business is booming. Almost 990 million people had internet
access in June 2002. That means that 1 out of every 6 people in
the world are wired to the net. And experts predict the numbers
are rising. You are in the right place at the right time.
Success requires an investment in time and money. To succeed
online you have to make an investment in time and money. Bottom
line is that there is no f-r-e-e ride. Understand this and you
are on your way to success. Above all, be patient and never give
up. Through persistence, support, using the best tools and
believing in yourself like the farmer who tends to his crops
consistently, eventually your cash crop will come in. A good
foundation is key and then consistently working on it produces
results. Success doesn't happen overnight. Never stop learning,
asking questions and trying new things.
With all of this in mind you can accomplish more than what 95%
