The almighty Internet if used properly can play a fundamental role in your online business and business strategy. Because more and more people are connected to the Internet at all times via smart phones and the likes so it is important to know how to reach them. This article will offer some advice on Internet marketing.

Use automated means to adjust your online business to customer demand. This means programming your web site to slightly lower the price of under performing items until the optimal price/demand point is reached. You can also send out a customer survey after each purchase and key certain parts of your business process to customer responses.

When it comes to fully leveraging Internet marketing techniques, the tenure of your site makes a difference. Consider the contract length when purchasing a domain name and focus on keeping the domain name for as long a period of time as the site is viable. A tenured site has more credibility than a new site, plus historical information posted gives visitors a sense of your purpose.

On the contact page of your internet business, make sure that your phone number is in a prominent place and at a minimum your email address. More often than not, if a customer has questions about your service, he/she would rather call and speak to a live person to get an immediate answer. Instead of filling out an online form and waiting for an answer. I personally don’t mind the form lol.

Get good content for your website. Content is what people come to your site for in the first place. Offer them something relevant to their wants and needs that benefits them. Before trying to sell your product or service, give your site visitors something that will make them want to stay around.

You should always put a picture of yourself on your website because people usually want to see the face of the person they are handing over their money to. It will give them a feeling of trust and a slightly higher since of security since you are not just hiding behind a name.

Offer free shipping to your customers if you have a physical product. One of the biggest deterrent to online shopping is shipping fees. If you cannot afford free shipping, charge other businesses to include their ads in your packages or offer free shipping only to customers who spend a certain amount of money on your products.

To create a quality newsletter, you need to write educational content. Your goal is to provide interesting information to your audience. Mention your products into your educational content, write informative texts about the products themselves, or explain how your product can have an educational use. Remember that people subscribed to your newsletter to learn something.

Submit your site to search engines to make your Internet marketing campaign more successful. You definitely want your customers to be able to find you when they search online, so this is a valuable step to take. Do not limit yourself to just the larger search engines, however. Find smaller niche directories to submit to, as well. This will funnel customers who are looking for exactly what you offer.

The Internet is not the newest tool in the shed but it is very powerful in advancing your online business. Using different Internet marketing strategies can turn themselves into a wealthy business in a very short amount of time. Having read this article you now should know a couple of tips yourself for Internet marketing. So what are you waiting for, get marketing!

There are few businesses that wouldn’t benefit from an effective email campaign. The key to an efficient email marketing campaign is to reach out to the right people and offer then things that they want. The information in this article will help you do just that by giving you advice and tips to make the most of your email marketing.

Write good content in your emails. Do not copy something, whether from another site or your own, directly into your email. Emails are not like web pages; they must be short and concise to hold your reader’s attention. That said, the content must be well-written, grammatically correct and free of spelling errors.

Keep your message clear and concise. A person’s time is valuable, so do not waste it with a wordy and meandering email. Try to get your message across in as few paragraphs as possible, and utilize line breaks between paragraphs to keep it easy to read. One helpful way to eliminate excess from your message is to write out everything, and edit it down until it is half of its original length.

Make sure your email campaign matches your brand. Use the same logos, fonts, colors as well as a similar messaging style to what your readers could find on your website. This helps the receivers of your email feel comfortable with the content and makes them more likely to open it.

If you are looking for a good email marketing tip, you may want to consider sending out HTML emails rather than simply text emails. Text emails are easily forgettable and generally boring to look at while html emails can make eye catching, impressive designs that readers are much more likely to remember.

Be sure and set up any designs or graphics you use in your emails “above the fold” whenever you send them out. This means that your graphics and designs should be view able from any preview pane or on the first page of the email (without having to scroll down). This will make your email look more attractive and be more effective.

You could try following up to your potential prospects by sending a follow-up email to them that includes a free e-book. Attach a suggestion onto your email that tells them to request it now. The ending of the email could claim to order it by clicking on the link given below.

Pay attention to the words and phrases that get the most attention in your industry. This means knowing who your audience is and what they’re looking for. Consumer products sell best when advertised through words such as “new”, while informational products sell better when combined with words like “advice”. Always be sure you know what your audience is looking for and word your copy accordingly.

As previously noted above, there are few businesses that wouldn’t benefit from the use of an effective email marketing campaign. The information and advice from the article above will help you craft and launch a marketing campaign that will offer your loyal customers what they want and to bring potential customers to your business.

Stuck for ideas on what to write in your next blog post, article or email? I’ve made a list of what readers want most to see from you. In fact, this is exactly the content that people crave, so get ready to make your next content a smash hit with your audience.

Your readers want content that:

– Reminds them that they matter
– Reminds them that they are one of a kind
– Tells a story
– Takes them on a journey
– Surprises them
– Shows them that dreams can come true
– Has unexpected twists and unforeseeable turns
– Reveals awesome secrets
– Shows little Davids beating big Goliaths
– Confirms their thoughts and beliefs
– Challenges their assumptions in a respectful manner
– Gives a fresh point of view
– Takes a stand
– Reminds them that life is short – really short
– Gives them faith to believe in something BIG
– Reminds them to get back to the “basics”

This is the sort of content your readers never get tired of and always have time to read. If it’s really good, they remember it long after they’ve read it. And even if it’s only somewhat good, if it meets any of the above criteria, they are very likely to share it with others.

In other words, this is the kind of content that has the power to inspire, influence and move your readers to ACTION.

I’ve been in the home business and online marketing industry for nearly 20 years. These are 10 of the most common marketing mistakes I hear or see most often from both Newbies but also from people who assure me they know what they are doing. Here’s the critical mistakes to avoid and what you should be doing instead to maximize your results.

Marketing Mistake #1

You send all your traffic to your primary website. Most people involved in online marketing or affiliate marketing, are selling more than one product or service. By all means, list all your products and services on your site, but don’t rely on your website for lead generation. Your website can be too busy and too big to funnel your buyers into the section or item they are looking for. Fussy, large, poorly organized websites can cost you leads and sales.

What you should do.

You should send all your traffic to landing pages NOT to your website. Ideally you should have one landing page for each product or service you offer. This way you can target specific markets and cater your copy and offers to that population. Landing pages are clean lead-generating machines. Effective landing pages start with a compelling attention-getting headline, then drive home the benefits of what you offer, point by point. Landing pages that get results always have an OFFER to generate an action by the reader – in most cases this action is either to get a contact form completed, or an instant sale. Every person who lands on your landing page (squeeze page) is a highly valued prospect.

Marketing Mistake #2

You focus only on lead generation and not list building. Newcomers to online marketing, and even seasoned marketers often make the mistake of posting static information on a website or a landing page. They fail to do the most important task of all. That task is to include an opt-in form on your landing page that encourages the prospect to sign up for your newsletter, or your email updates, or your special promotions email.

What you should do.

Every landing page you create should include OPTIN boxes so respondents can check off interest in other services you offer including your newsletter, special promotions, or related products and services. Every successful marketer knows that the key to sales now, today, and the future is based on a solid mailing list. The best way to generate your own email marketing list is to encourage people to agree (opt-in) to receive your email. This can be made easy for prospects by having check boxes on the lead form included on your landing page. They simply check off what they would like to receive additional information about. Mail order companies have known the power of a good mailing list for years, now online marketers need to understand this too.

Marketing Mistake #3

You tell not sell. You ramble on with details and jargon that bores your prospect to tears. You don’t offer the exciting benefits of what your product or service offers – what it will do for them to make their life better, or solve or eliminate a problem. Prospects stop reading long before they get anywhere near becoming a lead or a buyer.

What you should do.

Use sales-generating copy tells the prospect the BENEFITS of what you offer. Include a special offers that motivates a response! Stop boring people by TELLING the minutiae of what they are buying and start SELLING them on why they must get your incredible product TODAY. Sell all the benefits of what you offer, make an offer to get it today, then limit that offer so they understand they will miss out if they don’t act now – right now! Every statement in your copy should be moving towards the sale. You get this, this and this too but you must act now! Punchy copy that is laden with value and excitement gets a response. Your marketing copy must speak directly to the needs of the reader, they want to know what is in it for them. Your only need as the marketer is to get the point across that your offer is outstanding and must be responded to right now.

Marketing Mistake #4

You are trying to BUY success. Many inexperienced marketers will buy the services of an SEO company in an attempt to artificially force their website to the first page of Google and other search engine sites. I hope you have a money tree because you are going to need one. You’ll be out of money before you know it with no sales to show for it.

What you should do.

Learn how to do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) yourself. If you don’t you will always find people with their hand out ready to take your money, and your return for this kind of service will be minimal. Here’s why. SEO is not that hard, you can easily learn how to do this yourself if you are willing to learn, give it time and are very patient. There are TONS of free courses, free ebooks, low cost software and training programs that teach you how to increase your website ranking. At least first give it a try yourself, save yourself a lot of money, learn for the sake of long term growth of your online business. See Marketing Mistake # 5 for more on this.

Marketing Mistake #5

You rely on automation or short cuts to fast-track your marketing. You’ve bought software or services that allow you to: – Spin articles – Mass blast ads – Generate mass link submissions – Blast messages out to Twitter and other social media sites – Mass product fake content pages

Guess what? The folks at Google and Bing are smart cookies. Every day they tighten their algorithms a little bit more to decrease or eliminate the search returns generated by automated programs. The result: one day you are on the first page and the top 10 search returns, the next day your site is dropped for no reason and no recourse for the unfortunate site owner. I don’t have to tell you that this can cost you a LOT of money. The search engine sites don’t have to tell you why your listing disappeared, they change how they rank sites all the time. As soon as there is an obvious pattern, or sometimes just a hint of artificial attempts to jimmy your rankings from automated software, look out!

What you should do.

Forget about automation, it may work now, you may get away with it for the short term but in the long term, it won’t. Google themselves will tell you the best way to get high ranking is with fresh, natural content posted frequently. Yup. That takes time, sorry folks, no way around that but it is time well spent. Stop thinking you have to get rich over night, start thinking of your online business as a REAL business, not a hobby. A legitimate business takes time to build, consistent effort and some learning along the way. Read, learn, download ebooks on the topic, take a Bootcamp training course such as the one offered at Worldprofit, and work on building your web footprint one day at a time. Every had a tap dripping into your bathtub. It doesn’t take long till the tub fills then starts to overflow. Use the FREE and plentiful tools available on the web to learn and understand how to increase your ranking. You can get started right now! Set time aside as you learn and do a little every day. Create social media profiles, create blogs, post an ad, build a WordPress site (the SEO is built in already), write an article, comment on an article, be a guest blogger, tweet, Facebook, LinkedIn.

Marketing Mistake # 6

You don’t track your advertising results. No clicks on your ads means no intelligence on which ads are working at which places. You are marketing with a blindfold.

What you should do.

The beauty of online advertising is that when you post an ad you can check to see if you get hits. This is smart! The only way of knowing if your ads are working, if your time was well spent, or your advertising dollars were well spent is to know if you get clicks on your ads. Tracking your ads and the response allows you to tweak your ad copy, better your offer, identify both good and poor advertising sources. Most online advertising sites provide you with a Member area where you can login to check your statistical data on your advertising response.

Marketing Mistake # 7

Buying ads on Google and Bing without knowing what you are doing. Newcomers to online marketing do this all the time. They put up a website then buy ads at Google. Google loves you for this but you won’t fall in love with the cost.

What you should do

Research key words in your industry so you know what people are using to find businesses, products or services that you offer. How do you do that? Easy. Google has a key words tools within their Webmaster Tools to help you with your ad campaigns. It’s free whether you advertise with them or not, and a great way to get started learning about key works so you can use this information in your marketing.

Marketing Mistake # 8

Not promoting consistently. You are short on time, and short on money, so you post infrequently. You don’t vary your offer, your products, your ad copy.

What you should do.

Successful marketers know that promotion is something you must do every day, and if not every day as often as you can. People short on time make the grave error of buying large quantity mailings to massive amounts of people in one shot, instead of doing small amounts of promotion to target markets on a continual consistent basis. Do you ever notice that big companies NEVER stop marketing? They are always in your face. What do they know that you don’t know? The consumer has a very short attention span and if you are not in their face they quickly forget about you. My colleague Dr. Jeffrey Lant impressed on me the 7 time rule of marketing. The idea of this is that people have to see an offer, or an ad as much as 7 times before they do anything. Ever notice that when you watch the morning news while getting ready for work, that the same McDonald’s commercial plays over and over again! Why? They know you are watching the news getting ready for work and want you to stop in for a breakfast sandwich. Repetition in marketing is key and give the competition out there for various offers, it’s important that your message be seen. Post your ads often. You are NEVER done promoting. As an online marketer your job is simple. Promote often, promote consistently. This leads into our next critical mistake.

Marketing Mistake # 9

Only advertising at a few places and not constantly looking for new advertising sources.

What you should do.

New marketers tend to find one or two places to advertise then only advertise there. The web is filled with great places to advertise. You must try to continually expand your reach, tap into new markets, target new customers. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket and rely exclusively on single sources or you will be cutting off your profit potential. Look into all kinds of different types of advertising including pay per click, login ads, banner ads, safelists, traffic exchanges, ad swaps, classified ads, joint ventures. Avoid vendors that offer extremely large lists, or leads for a ridiculously low cost, chances are good they will be fake or computer generated.

Marketing Mistake # 10

Underestimating how much marketing focus is required to drive your business.

What you should do.

Understand that marketing is and should be 90% of how you spend your time in building your online business. This one thing alone dooms so many Newbies to failure, they don’t spend enough time on marketing in order to get results. I hear people say ‘this product is so good it will sell itself”. That has got to be one of the worst errors in thinking I have heard when it comes to making money. You’ve got your products or services you want to sell, now focus on promotion. When, where, and how. Then stick to it. I’ve had people tell me they are spending 12 hours a day promoting a product and not getting results. I tell each and everyone of them this. “If that’s actually true, you are doing something terribly wrong.” If this is you then go back and read over these common marketing mistakes. You are making one or more and this is sabotaging your own success. Sometimes you just need to step away, take a breather, and review what you are doing. You may think you are working hard but you aren’t focusing on what will get you results. Something is perhaps distracting you, something is eating up your time, something you are doing is not what you should be doing. One person who told me they were spending dozens of hours a day with no result, was actually spending most of their time blogging and Facebooking. When they evaluated what they were actually doing they then saw that what felt like work was really just time wasted in front of a computer. The bottom line is this, reassess but never never give up.

Summary: There is so much money to be made online it’s mind-boggling. It’s a type of money making that is not what most people are familiar, it’s a steep learning curve for many but it’s worth the time to learn. There’s unlimited choices of products and services to sell. You can build an online business for very little cost but treat it seriously. Be realistic about what you can earn and put in the necessary time to learn and understand what you are doing. Affiliate marketing is a huge growth industry now with no signs of slowing.

You might be thinking, “Why would I want my website to be like a grocery store? I don’t sell meats and produce, I sell information and opportunity.” Good question. But if you’re a fan of all things marketing, this is one article you do not want to miss.

Case in point: Did you know that nothing is left to chance in a supermarket? Everything in a grocery store is orchestrated to increase sales. In the same way, we want to be 100% intentional about how we guide people to the right place on our websites so they do what we want them to do (subscribe, buy, etc.)

Yes, it’s manipulative. But it comes down to a choice – are you going to be smart about your website, or are you going to leave it to chance and hope for the best? Being smart builds a real business, while hoping you accidentally get it right is a hobby. BIG difference.

Here’s a prime supermarket lesson we can use on our websites: When one very successful store cut their product line by 40% their sales went up 20%. Why is this? Because before people had too many choices, resulting in confusion and loss of sales. Reduce the choices and you reduce the confusion. This is why UK supermarket giant Tesco cut their range of products by 30% to simplify the experience for shoppers. After all, who needs 98 different extra virgin olive oils?

If you have too many products, pull the ones that aren’t selling well and focus just on your best sellers. This will benefit you in that you’re more focused on promoting your best sellers only. And it will benefit your customers because it’ll be easier for them to make a buying decision.

Here’s another juicy marketing morsel: When a four-foot cardboard cutout of a glass of beer was placed at either end of the beer shelves, sales increased 23% overnight. Crazy, right? The big beer glasses acted as sign posts, directing customers towards purchasing beer.

So how can you guide people on your website into making purchases? Good question. Give them a clear path from start to finish – a path they cannot easily deviate from. Guide them. Make it clear what their choice should be (to buy, versus to leave without buying.) Make it as simple as seeing a signpost and making the appropriate turn to get to the destination.

And speaking of making things easy – for years supermarkets hid things like bread and milk at the back of the store, with the theory this would increase sales. After all, if you make people walk past all the other items, they’re bound to buy some, right?

It turns out that was a bad theory. Instead of increasing sales, it had the long term effect of making people mad enough to not return to the store. Ouch. Now they know that by placing essentials at the front of the store, they are more likely to get repeat business from the goodwill they have built.

Again, it’s all about making the shopping experience easy for the customer. To get more ideas about how to make your website more like a supermarket, go here:

We all know that article marketing is one of the most effective, white-hat SEO strategies. To get the largest number of articles submitted in the shortest amount of time the use of article marketing software is growing in popularity. This software can help you distribute your article to hundreds or thousands of online sites. Not only will more people have access to your articles (and hopefully read them, like what you have to say and click on the link in your resource box and get taken to your website) you will also have the ability to build a lot of incoming links to your website.

Search engines use a lot of different parameters when they decide what rank your site will receive. One of those parameters is how many incoming links you have to your site. The more you have the higher you can rank. If the links coming to your site are from another site that is ranked very high, the link will carry even more weight and will help you even more.

In order for any of this to happen though you’ll need a lot of articles in circulation. A well written article that is targeting a good keyword can stay in circulation for months or even years. But it is a numbers game and to get the most out of this process you need a lot of articles circulating the web.

It takes a lot of time to do keyword research, write and submit all those articles by hand. That’s why using the available tools can help you get all the results you want in a lot less time and with much less effort.

Now there is something to be aware of when it comes to software submission programs. some of them are not well liked by the search engines. The search engines generally aren’t big fans of anyone who takes ‘shortcuts’ to submit a ton of articles. The biggest reason is that they don’t want the same version of the same article submitted four hundred times. When it comes time to pick out a good software program be careful which one you choose and carefully monitor your results. Don’t just assume it’s working.

The best way to do that is to carefully monitor your traffic before you submit the articles. Than watch for any change, good or bad. If you have access to your control panel for your website you can get pretty in depth statistics about where your traffic is coming from. This will help you determine just how many sites your article has been distributed to.

Whether you choose to use article marketing software or not, there are some things you can do to greatly increase the effectiveness of your online advertising. For one thing, make sure you target the best keywords possible. You don’t want the most highly searched for keywords since they’ll have too much competition. What you want are keywords that get decent searches a month, around 1,500 but don’t have too much competition. Next write your article in a clear, easy to understand format. Provide a strong call to action in the resource box and submit multiple versions targeting several top keywords for your niche.

Can you pick a topic, build a list of 1,000 and even promote your first product in just 7 days? Yes! Here’s how…

First of course is to choose your topic or niche. If you want a head start, pick something that will interest your friends – preferably both your friends in real life and your social media friends. Let’s say you’re interested in marketing, and you’ve got some business friends in your hometown as well as more business friends online. This is a good topic choice to hit the ground running.

Next, reach out to those friends you already have a relationship with. Let them know about your new endeavor. In our example case, you might write the following:

Hey George,

Quick question for you: I’m starting a new project where I give out the latest marketing tips for small businesses like yours on how to cheaply get more customers.

Traditional advertising just isn’t cutting it anymore, and we need alternatives that don’t cost a lot and flat out work.

Anyway, thought you might be interested.

I’ll be emailing the latest ‘how-to’ info as I find it.

Want me to include you?

Jill

When they reply back, manually add them to your list. Yes, this takes a little effort, but it’s an excellent way to get started. Go through your phone, email and social media contacts and get as many people as you can this way. Don’t stop until you have a bare minimum of 50. 100 is better.

Next step – create a contest for your new subscribers.

Brainstorm a list of 3 to 5 things you could give to the winner of your contest.

Do a quick poll of your list to see which of those 3 to 5 items they would most like.

Put up a giveaway page and announce it to your list. Use one of the contest sites to make this easy. Your goal is to get them to share it with everyone.

In our example, you might write something like:

Thanks for joining me in my new project!

To kick things off, I’m giving away the book, “How to Get More Customers Than You Need.”

In fact, I’m giving away 5 of them!

And since this email is only going out to 100 people, your odds of winning are pretty darn good.

Here’s what you need to do:

Enter the giveaway by clicking here to leave your email address.

Take the special link you get when you register, and share it with your friends to improve your own odds of winning.

For every friend of yours that joins, you get another entry. Good?

Great! Here’s the link.

Jill

You might be concerned about the cost of the prize(s). You can either give away something you own or have rights to, or you can get a sponsor who gives their products away in exchange for you promoting them to your growing list. Or you can simply buy them yourself.

The point is, don’t let obstacles get in your way. There’s always going to be something – web hosting, web design, copywriting, etc., that tries to throw up a roadblock to slow you down or even stop you in your tracks. Don’t let it. Just keep moving forward and tackle each bump in the road as you get to it.

The main thing is to always stay focused on your objective. In this case, it’s 1,000 subscribers in 7 days, followed by the immediate promotion of your first product. (And don’t sweat this part, either. If you don’t have a product, I have two work-around’s for you coming up.)

Continue to promote your contest. Let other list owners know, let blogs know, let the world know about your contest. If you get one good list owner to tell their list about your contest, that alone can snowball into a 1,000 subscribers. Remember, those who enter the contest can then promote their own link for more entries, thus further increasing your list size.

The next step is key: Immediately start building rapport and delivering great content to your list. Give them exactly what you promised and a whole lot more. What you send them is of course going to depend on your niche. Just make sure it is info they can use to solve problems and you will do well.

Also inject humor when you can, write like you’re having a conversation with your best friend and enjoy yourself. If you’re having fun creating content, your list is having fun reading or watching it. That’s right – recording videos for your list is a great idea and can work to build rapport far faster than simply sending emails.

Finally it’s time to promote your first product. If you don’t already have a product of your own that fits this list, don’t worry about it. Choose something that your list wants and be an affiliate for that product. If you don’t know what your list wants, take a poll.

And here’s an even better technique than promoting an affiliate product – sell a product you haven’t even created yet. That’s right. Take a poll to find out exactly what they want. Then sell it to them. Let them know if it’s a book or video series or what. Let them know exactly what’s in it for them. Let them know that if you don’t get “x” amount of orders, you won’t make it. And lastly, let them know that because they are preordering before it’s even made, they get special bonuses and / or a special discount. Make it an offer they cannot refuse.

Just think: If you get 50 sales from your new list for $30 each, that’s $1,500 for a product you haven’t even created yet. Your results will vary.

Things to remember:

Your friends want to help you. Sometimes it’s easier to ask strangers for help than it is your friends and family. But the people who know you are the ones who will join your list first and promote your contest first. They get the ball rolling for you because they want to see you succeed.

Don’t hide. Yes, you can email until you’re blue in the face, and you will get results. You can also pick up the phone and call people to let them know about your new endeavor. Guaranteed, those you call will be far more likely to promote your contest and buy your product.

You might even randomly call people from your list just to thank them for joining. They will be blown away. In fact, send out an email to your list telling them you will call them on Skype for a 2 minute chat if they like – just reply with their Skype ID and you’ll call. Even those who don’t answer will be intrigued that you would do something like that. It shows you are a real person who wants to make real connections. And that counts for a lot.

You can also send private messages to people on your list through Facebook and Gmail if they have a Gmail address. Ask what kind of help they might need and what they want to accomplish.

If you want to make more sales of your first product, wait another week or two before promoting to build more trust with your list. Build rapport. Build a relationship. THEN promote your new product or future new product. Sales will likely double the amount you would make by promoting after just the first week.

Continue to build your list. 1,000 subscribers is a good start. Now go for 3,000. You can do it. In fact, it gets easier and easier as you go. Do lots of guest blogging – it’s a great way to list build.

Create a list-building incentive that drives people wild. This will take some brainstorming, but the perfect incentive is one that people would gladly and eagerly pay for with real money. When you figure out what this is for your niche, your list building will skyrocket.

Don’t get lazy. Building a good list quickly takes effort. Building rapport with that list takes even more effort. But in the end it can pay off big. VERY big.

I’ve been working online for years and I have seen people come and I’ve seen people go. It seems so often that people don’t find what your looking for in your Internet marketing business. And I think that is sad.

Sometimes it’s just a case that someone is what we might refer to as a “wannabe”. Someone who wants something but either just isn’t willing to put in the work or just isn’t cut out for it. Also known as a “tire kicker”. Whatever the case may be, an internet marketing business just isn’t for them.

But other times, and this is where I get angry and frustrated, it boils down to the “newbies” getting overwhelmed with the hype and not being able to figure out which way to go so they give up. Don’t give up…

That, to me, is the true shame. The truth is that you can find what your looking for in your Internet marketing business but only if you don’t allow the distractions to sidetrack you or worse, overwhelm you to the point where you give up altogether.

In order to greatly increase your odds of success and decrease the chance that you will get overwhelmed and give up, here are some simple tips. If you truly follow these consistently for as long as it takes, you can have enormous success online. If not, then…

1. The first thing you need to do is get educated. Online that can be pretty easy. you don’t have to go back to school. There are many courses online that will teach you everything you need to know about starting and building a great business. There is a lot of good “free” training all over the internet too if you just look for it. Also just sign up for your free internet business here on my website and you will get a 30 day free internet marketing course with your free website. It is a proven system that will show you how to make money step by step.

For a very small amount of money you can find many courses that will teach you everything you need to know too. Ask around in the internet marketing forums for recommendations on some top notch courses.

2. Once you’ve gained the knowledge you need put it to work for you. Start doing what you have learned to do. This is such an obvious step but one that is often overlooked. Some people just get too intimidated to start. Start small and don’t expect to be perfect, you won’t be. Just start!

3. And last but not least, set your course then stay on it. It can be very tempting to buy that great new product or service especially if you’ve been working and haven’t seen any results yet. That is when you are at your most vulnerable, but don’t do it.

Treat your business like a business and work at it daily and you will see some results. If you’ve been doing everything you have been told to do for months on end consistently (and you really have and you’re not just lying to yourself) and you still don’t see anything it’s time to ask the person who trained you or someone else for some guidance.

You may not be doing things in the right way. Sometimes a small “tweak” can be the difference between success and failure.

As you can see, it’s pretty simple. No, it’s not easy, it will take time, determination and hard work but there really aren’t a lot of moving pieces. Find what your looking for in your Internet marketing business by following these simple steps to success.

This is so basic, a lot of people might dismiss this without another thought. However if they do, they’ll be missing out on one of the single greatest secrets to continuously increase their income month in and month out, for the rest of their lives…

Here’s how it works: Look at what you earned last month. Whatever it is, write it down.

Now set a goal to earn a certain percentage more this month. 5% works well. For example, if last month you earned $500, this month your goal is $525.

Now track what you earn every day. That’s right – every DAY. If you’re not on target to beat last month’s total, then do something. Send out another promotion. Create a viral report. Do another guest post. Whatever it takes, make sure you reach your new goal. Odds are you will not only reach it, you will exceed it.

Now rinse and repeat month in and month out.

“But this is too hard!” You might be thinking. Nope. It’s not. You’re taking 2 minutes a day to record how much you earned the day before. You’re keeping track of whether or not you’re on target. And you’re pushing yourself to do a little bit better each month.

The alternative is to flounder around like a dying fish, hoping you somehow land back in the water. Odds are most months you’re not going to. A year passes, and you’re making the same amount of money each month as you are now – or maybe you’re making less. Not pretty.

But increase your income just 5% each month, starting with just a current income of $500 a month, and it can look like this:

12 month mark $900 a month
18 month mark $1,200 a month
24 month mark $1,600 a month

What if you’re currently earning $1,000 a month, and you increase your goal by 10% each month?

12 month mark $3,100 a month
18 month mark $5,500 a month
24 month mark $9,700 a month

Now do you see the power of setting goals and continually tracking your results? Two minutes a day can produce riches. Or, you could spend those two minutes watching a cat video on YouTube. Your choice.

Let’s say you write and sell a fairly successful monthly newsletter. How can you get your subscribers to bring you new subscribers? Or maybe you have a growing membership. How do you get your current members to bring you more paying members? The answer might be as simple as giving your existing members certificates to GIVE to their friends…

In the case of the newsletter, let your subscribers give away 1-6 months for free. Limit the number of gift subscriptions they can give away to keep the perceived value high. Make the gift certificates look like they were paid for by your current subscribers, so that when they give them out, it appears they’re giving a valuable gift (which they are.) This also makes it more likely your subscribers will give the certificates out because there is a sense of pride in the giving of the gift.

When the gift recipients sign up to get their free subscriptions, you can offer them the chance to subscribe for a longer period of time at a reduced rate. Some will accept your offer, others won’t. Those who opt only for the free subscription will receive your offers to renew before their subscription ends. If you’ve provided a great value to them, some will subscribe. And when they do, you can then offer them certificates to give to their friends as well.

Remember, since your newsletter is delivered electronically, it costs almost nothing to give out gift subscriptions. And even if your newsletter is printed and mailed, the cost is still low compared to the number of new subscribers you are likely to get using this simple method. Of course, you’ll want to track your numbers to be sure it’s profitable.

Memberships can work the same way. Let your current members give away limited-time memberships to a small handful of the people they think will appreciate it the most.

You might even do special promotions using this method. For example, you give out certificates in late April for Mother’s Day with instructions to give them to moms who would enjoy the subscription or membership. Or prior to Christmas as gifts, and so forth.

If your membership or newsletter delivers a high value, using your current customers to bring in more customers can be the easiest, fastest and most cost effective way to get a continuous stream of new, happy customers into your business.

Therefore, instead of only thinking about how many of your paid newsletter subscriptions or memberships you can sell, start directing your creative juices to finding ways you can leverage your existing subscriber and customer base’s enthusiasm for your services to start GIVING AWAY everything you have to offer. As you do this, your business and influence can start growing exponentially, and with less overall effort and advertising investment on your part.
