Fail to plan and you plan to fail. We have all heard it before. Anyone starting a business needs to plan out what they are going to do to accomplish their goals. This article will give you a few ideas of some of the thinks you need to think about when starting your online business.
Start with these 4:
1) Have a product or idea to sell
2) Get prospects to your site.
3) Generate subscribers.
4) Expand your social network.
1) Pay close attention here: It is easier to sell people what they already want then to try to talk them into something they don't want or need. Heard the quote from Zig Ziglar? "You can get everything you want in life if you just help enough people get what they want." Makes sense, doesn't it? Sell 'em what they want.
2) Getting prospects to see your offer may be one of the most difficult parts of your marketing...but it is crucial. If enough prospects do not see your offer, you have no chance of making a good income. How do you do this? There are many ways with lots of information on how to do it available online. You will have to make an investment of either time or money, or both. You must decide on what is best for you depending on where you are along your path.
3) Getting subscribers means getting people on your list. But not only getting them on your list, but keeping them there. Building a list can be the most important thing you can do. Approach it as a business, not a hobby. By having a relevant list of prospects, you can virtually give yourself a pay raise whenever you want. Remember that to keep people on your list you need to GIVE. Don't always try to take. Give them something of value and they will value you as a resource.
4) Spend time networking. You are in a people business. Connect with people. Communicate with people. Build of network of associates that you can bounce things off of. People are more willing to help than you probably think. There are many people trying to do the exact same thing you are. Talk to them and build relationships. It can only help.
It is not only my opinion, but that of many very successful marketers that everything you do as far as online marketing should be based on one thing. BUILDING YOUR LIST.
But PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Do it the right way. Nobody, including yourself, likes spam. And this could be the quickest way to get you out of business. There are many ways to build a "permission based" email list and it is your responsibility to do it in this manner. Just do it the right way and you will see that even you can be successful.
To many of you this information will seem very basic but I suggest you do not take it lightly. Researching these ideas more and putting them into practice can help put thousands of dollars into your pocket. Remember to be patient and maybe go over this stuff a few times if need be. Take the time to fully understand what is being said here. It can very possibly change your life.
These, obviously, are only a few of the things you will need to think about while putting together your internet marketing plan. My plan is to write more articles discussing other areas you will need to work on. There is a lot of work to do and I hope that doesn't scare you off. Success takes effort.
Let's get this show on the road.
