How would you like to finally reach and beat the goals that you’ve set for your online business?

Online Marketing Tip #1- You Can Always Improve

It doesn’t matter if you’re just starting out or if you’ve run a profitable online business for years. I can guarantee you that there are at least a few things you’re not doing right. Every single day, someone is making money from desperate buyers. The only problem is that it’s not your website they visit, it’s not your offer they find to be the most attractive one and, simply put, and it’s not you who they trust with their money.

As a smart businessman or businesswoman, you know what that means in the long run. It means you’ll lose out and someone else’s business will grow stronger, faster and better while you keep struggling.

So you’ve probably been thinking about ways to grow your business, and you’ve most definitely daydreamed about all the amazing benefits of having a huge passive income that keeps sending instant cash to your Swizz bank account.

You could travel anywhere, buy the house of your dreams right there at the beach, and impress your friends with the most exclusive sports car. But, if you’re like most people who struggle to make a half-decent income online, then the alluring promises of Internet Marketing hasn’t been quite fulfilled just yet.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I know that you’re not afraid of getting your hands dirty, work long hours and go the extra mile. You’ve done your fair share of hard work, you’ve read all the eBooks and most important of all – you took massive action.

So, where is the private jet, the beach front mansion and the collection of sports car? It all seems to be more elusive than exclusive…

 

Online Marketing Tip #2-There Are No Excuses


I’ll tell you a secret, and I’m sharing this with you only because I myself have been in the exact same position as you are now. I was desperate to grow my business, escape the rat race and reach financial freedom. I’m not one of those self-proclaimed internet gurus with Photoshopped screenshots of income proofs and I’m also not one of those “underground behind-the-scenes guys who has been making millions from methods you never heard of”.

I’m just a regular guy who figured out a way to run an online business and make a fulltime and manage it from anywhere in the world.

So what’s the secret? The secret is that you need three things. They all start with P, so it’s the 3Ps. Passion, persistence and a plan. The result, my friend, is a fourth P. Profit.

Online Marketing Tip #3- You Need Passion, Persistence And A Plan.

You need passion to wake up in the morning and wanting to check your sales report, your website statistics and your latest campaigns performance. You’ve got to love what you’re doing, even if it’s a struggle at this very moment. Have faith, the results will come.

You need persistence so that you don’t give up when your programmer misses a deadline, or you forget to backup your blog and have to repost all your content. You need persistence for those rainy days when the EBook that you spent a week writing still didn’t generate any leads. And most of all, you need persistence when everyone is telling you how much better it would be if you just focused on your boring 9 to 5 career, took some time off and spent a day at the Zoo. That’s when you need to believe in yourself and say out loud “One day, you’ll see, I’m going to make it!”.

But here is the catch. If you don’t have the third P, the Plan, then you might just as well get back to your favorite couch, kick back and relax while watching re-runs of Dallas on your TV. Without a plan, you’re just not going to get very far. All your efforts will be wasted, all your sacrifices for nothing and all the money you could have been made will end up in someone else’s pocket.

As any serious online entrepreneur would do, you should consider at least these questions when you plan how to grow your business stronger online:

  • How to improve my website
  • How to generate more leads
  • How to increase conversions
  • How to price my products for maximum cash flow
  • How to set up the optimal sales funnel
  • How to know what my market will buy
  • How to get tons of traffic

And that’s just a few things to start with!

I’ll tell you another secret. Once you figure out the basic concepts of Internet Marketing and how to run an online business, the results will come very quickly and not only once but over and over again.

After a career as a professional musician and band leader in the Miami South Florida Area I decided to see if I could make some money with this new internet thing. After years of trial and error I started to get the hang of it and now I am completely financially independent because of my various online businesses. The goal of this blog is to chronicle my continued marketing experiences. I focus on real examples of what works and what does not work. Google does not give us a recipe for getting our sites ranked. We have to use our own experiences to see what actually works rather than theory. I hope you enjoy the blog. Please let us know what you think in the comments area. We appreciate your feedback.
