The Art Of Duplication Is The Key To Online Success
| Category: Marketing Strategy | Date: 2001-02-21 |
Anyone can be successful marketing on the Internet. It's as simple as discovering what works for you, not quitting, and duplicating the things that bring you success.
Internet marketing success is a lot like launching a rocket into space. 99% of the work is in getting off the launch pad, once launched you can ride the momentum to the stars.
When McDonald's started it was just one burger stand. As the McDonald brothers tried several ways of marketing the burgers, they eventually came up with a plan to be the best burger stand the local area. They accomplished it by taking a chance and trying something new and original for the time. They made the first DRIVE-IN burger stand, the rest is history.
They didn't have to go looking for people to sell franchises to, people found them. Most of the time & work was in learning how to make that first store profitable. When you create your first success people will be attracted to you like moths to a flame
The internet isn't really any different. No one can tell you how to make that first sale. I can tell you what works for us, but because everyone has different skill sets and experiences, what works for me is not necessarily going to work for you.
The hardest sale to make is the first one, after that each sale gets easier because you build on that first success as you gain experience and momentum . Don't expect to earn 6 figures the first year or two. You are responsible for your results.
Your first home business goal should be to make $300 profit. The next goal is $300 a month then $300 a day. You can use any number you want.
Unfortunatly most people quit, or more specifically they never get started. That's why they invented jobs, it's the both a *safe* alternate, and valuable backup source of income during your transition. to self employment.
You can't fail unless you quit, the important thing to remember is * NEVER QUIT* success is the direct result of productive time and effort, well spent.
I can't tell you everything you should *do* to launch your business, I can tell you what is working for others or what is working for me. Everyone is blessed with their own special talents. The key is to through scientific experimentation, to find & duplicate what ever works for you. Once you earn that first sale, continue your experimentation, just make smaller changes in your marketing plan. Over time you will continue revising your business plan based on your success. Success is achieved through many small steps revised continually over a period of time.
The reason we publish this newsletter is to share the things that are working for the experts. If you want to be like them, do what they do and see if it works for you.
The average person will fail several times before launching a business successfully. The difference between successful people and unsuccessfull people is that successful people keep on trying. It's really just that simple. All it takes is to duplicate your success. Here Are A Few Internet Marketing Guidelines We Have Found Useful.
1) Choose a product that sells for under $50. If it's a business opportunity don't spend a lot up front. In fact - Don't spend too much money period. You usually can't buy success, the business should help pay for itself very quickly.
2) People go to the Internet for free Information. Offer them useful information for free. This builds trust and helps establish your expertise. Everyone is an expert at something.
3) Create a dialogue with people you can help and people who can help you. The Internet can be impersonal - you must establish a relationship with your nitch market.
4) Use your email. It's your most valuable marketing tool - Find an information need then to fill it. I'm not talking about SPAM, that doesn't work. You *communicate* with people to establish and build on a relationship.
5) Develop regular e-mailings both personal and for your business. Share information with others.
6) Develop your Own success story. Facts tell and stories sell. Once you make that first sale tell your story to others within your sphere of influence. People will be attracted to your success and will want to do what you do.
7) Duplicate the success of others, If you want what they have in your life then do what they do.
8) Develop some of your own ideas. Take chances, You won't always have success but the more things you try the more things will actually work.
9) Make goals - Do what you say you will do.
10) PLAN - plan what you want and you'll get what you plan
