Internet marketing is an area of business where anybody with determination and a thirst for learning can succeed. Yet many struggle to comprehend more than the basics of how information is moved on the web.
Many fall into a pattern of either purchasing all their traffic (which is often not profitable), or doing free traffic generation methods in a way that are not effective at bringing buyers to their sites.
If anybody tells you making a ton of cash online is easy, don't believe that person. Making money in this industry requires a clear mind and an ability to adapt and grown on a daily basis.
The good news is that the longer you are in the "game" of internet marketing, the more you will understand about how it all really works.
There's the rub.
What is really happening with internet marketing is very different from what "outsiders" perceive to be happening. For this reason, and because of widespread misinformation, newcomers to the field of online marketing often experience disappointment when they discover that the business environment is more competitive than at first they thought.
Do not lose heart, however, brave soldier.
This "craft" of internet promotion is learned one day at a time. There are simple daily activities that you must do in order to get over the "learning hump" and start earning money consistently.
The Most Essential Quality To Success In Business Is Discipline
With learning a new skill such as internet marketing it is essential to discipline oneself to work at it at least 4-5 days per week for a couple of hours or more today. If this seems like a lot - remember, this is like attending school and when you are just starting out you must learn the ABCs.
If you have recently attended college classes you may have good study skills in place. But, chances are your study skills are rusty and you will need to exercise the learning parts of your brain in order to assimilate and use the information you will need.
Marketing Online, or promoting online, is simply the exposing of your products or service to a lot of people. When an interested person encounters your marketing efforts, he will either:
- buy right then and there, from you
- go shopping for something similar and buy from somebody else
- decide not to buy at all
- decide not to buy today, but buy later.
Follow up Marketing is What Separates The Whales From The Minnows!
Follow up is the most important thing to automate in your online money-making efforts. It is because most people who eventually buy your product will not buy from you unless you have "top-of-mind-awareness". You need your product and services to stay at the forefront of your business prospect's mind. When s/he is ready to buy, s/he will think of you first if you have don the job correctly.
The most fundamental thing about follow up marketing is:
Never Be Boring!
In fact, many, many sales are made after several follow up attempts. If your follow up is boring, people won't open your emails and you are unlikely to make a sale.
