Never Give UP!!!
| Category: Net Business Start ups | Date: 2001-11-21 |
I can see the glow from your face coming through the screen - if that is the case - Why the name of the article - Never Give UP!!!
The glow is coming from the fact that you have just gotten your web pages up and you are ready to set the world on fire with your product. We've all been through that same glow.
It is a wonderful feeling and there would be no web pages put up without that expectation. You've read all the right things to do according to all the guru's on the net. You've listed and read and listed again and again. You've covered the FFA (free for all) pages, free classifieds, written for all the e-zines. Now all that is left to do is sit back and wait.
The glow grows brighter - you just know you have hit the target of every marketer on the web. You've covered all the bases. Now you have slept on it - and you get up and can't wait to get to that computer to see all the orders you know will be waiting for you.
You open up your e-mail and find you have 150 messages. Alright!!! We're on the run now. Quickly you open up the e-mails - and one after the other - the same story - all these people are trying to sell you something also. They didn't even read your classifieds, all they wanted was your e-mail address.
What a disappointment - the glow dims a little. This is the game called Internet Marketing. Lesson number one learned.
It's not that easy!!!
Now I'm not saying it can't be done. Dig deeper is the answer. You read every book you can find that tells you how to market on the Internet. You've read that the best thing to do is to market your own product with some good bonuses.
You realize you need another e-mail account to handle all the offers coming through now, but you are afraid to delete all these messages because there may be buried treasure in 'them thar e-zines.' So you spend hours reading and sure enough, you find some buried treasures. You now have a new direction to move in.
Developing the e-zine is a lot of fun and you search and search for information that will interest others. You spend days putting the e-zine together and are very proud of yourself. The disappointments of the first round you thought was a failure has now developed you into a much stronger and more knowledgable marketer.
You now place a few paid ads and a few ad swaps and find that there are really people out there reading your work and interested in your product. Even though it has not happened overnight. It is a slow and painstaking process and only those with the attitude of "I WILL make it!!!! will survive.
You finally get a order and see that the system works. Now the glow is back on your face and you go at it even harder. You have just reached another level of marketing. Each level that you reach that you felt was a failure will bring you into another level of knowledge and a more experienced marketer.
I wish it would be as easy as telling you to just follow others steps - but then you will miss out on the wonderful step in life called 'experience.' Nothing can replace that. Take advice from the ones who have been there, done that - but never copy them - the ingredient that would be missing is -YOU!
Each failure brought to a glowing success will make you stronger and more determined and soon you will become the guru that will be leading others. But the bottom line will always be
'NEVER GIVE UP.' and by the way - do you know what GURU means -
GEE U R U.
