FACT: There are a million articles, blogs, emails regarding making money online and offering you the answer.
FACT: After reading 99% of them you will be no further ahead and will certainly not have that answer!!!
When most people make the decision to enter the world of internet marketing they have the misguided belief that instant riches are on the way and that they will be a success from day one. Not everyone promotes a business that promises the world for little work but they certainly do not admit to just how much hard work you need to put in before achieving your goals.
Here are some of the initial facts when first starting out in the internet marketing world:
1) You MUST join an internet marketing company who offer training on every subject possible, and more important than that, someone available to talk you through it! It’s very easy for a company to take your money, provide you with pages and pages of training material and expect you to get on with it. Do you know why there is no one on the end of a phone to speak with? Because they would never be off the phone to disgruntled people who don’t understand their basic training!!!
2) THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST. Yes that’s right, if you do not have a list of interested people in internet marketing or a niche that fits your business you will not make money as a beginner. Companies will provide you with web pages, products and tell you to get out there and market but the fact is you need targeted people to market to or you will lose money!! You must drive traffic through to lead capture page and then market your company or products through to that list. Do not fall for anything else, I guarantee you will end up losing money!!
3) It is VERY RARE that you will make money within the first two months. Now I am not saying you won’t, especially if you have a list or some prior experience, but the majority of would be internet marketers need to brand themselves, set up systems, web pages and actually market them before they receive traffic and therefore money!
4) VIDEO IS IMPORTANT!!! I speak with marketers who are not comfortable in front of a camera. And my advice to them is simple.... Get comfortable. I am not saying that you must video market to make money as video has not always been around and there are hundreds of ways to market but there is no better way to relate to a prospect than to show them who you really are, how you speak, your personality etc etc If other marketers are doing it than it tells you two things, the first, it must work and the second, to compete you must do it too!
5) The main asset to your business is......YOU. Not your company, not your products, not your compensation plan, but you. Why do you think David Beckham is signed up in china to promote toilet paper, and signed up in the US to promote pens? Because people buy David Beckham not the product. He could sell Ice to the Eskimos because he has spent his entire career branding himself and creating an image to market to the world. Now we are not all David Beckham and do not all have a million dollar marketing team but you get the point! If someone buys you as a person, they will buy into your product. Fact.
6) This is one of the most important facts of all. Educate yourself wherever possible. Do not buy into an internet marketing company expecting a complete solution for your life changing home business. There isn’t one. Some are better than others, but the most successful and entrepreneurial marketers out there will buy anything if it gives them just one tip for personal improvement. If you have a spare $40 per month, join up to a programme. If you see a book out there teaching you how to achieve better web optimisation buy it! I will guarantee you that the one helpful tip you take from it will make you more money than it cost in the long run that’s for sure. If you are one of those people who wants to educate yourself on the cheapest possible budget then I am afraid success with internet marketing is most definitely not for you.
Apply these points when making your decision to enter the world of Internet Marketing and you will be a huge success and remember, it is not all doom and gloom but in my eyes honesty is the best policy. Knowing the mountain you have to climb before you start climbing will ensure success at every checkpoint!
