If you want to have success with your internet marketing efforts, you need to learn how to set goals. I can remember when I was a merchant on Ebay selling my products, I developed an auction template that was incredibly effective at getting me sales. I had a plan on how to upload all of my auctions automatically, and how to ship peoples' products out to them simply and easily.

Another thing that I did was that I created for myself a "checklist" that contained all of the things that would make my ebay listing successful. Well long story short, I became a master Ebay seller. Within the first 90 days of operation, I earn the title of "Ebay Powerseller". 1 month later after continued progress, I earn the new title of "Top Rated Seller". This is the highest level to attain, and I achieved it within 4 months.

Now do you have to use Ebay to make money on the internet? Not really. You can do the same thing with your website. But before you do anything (including advertising), you need to setup some goals or create a "roadmap" of how you're going to achieve internet success.

This roadmap doesn't have to be complex at all. My internet marketing plan consists of 10 strategies that I do on a daily basis, and I know that it's working, because everyday I website rankings increase on a daily basis. A year ago I would have probably quitted after 2 weeks of "scrambling" on the internet, but now that I'm focused and want to "stick it out" with my internet business... I'm eager to make it work.

You need this same mentality. I'm sure you've read plenty of self-improvement books about business and how to have success. But condensing a 200+ page book is a hard thing to do when trying to come up with a 10-step goal setting plan. Some testing on your behalf will be necessarily in order to know how to make your strategies work for you.

This is something that takes some people years to do. They procrastinate on writing out their internet marketing goals and as a result of it, they become stagnant on their internet marketing efforts, and give up incredibly quick because they're convinced that free marketing on the internet doesn't work. Or they feel that pay per click marketing is something that is just too risky, and they don't want to be bothered by it anymore.

It's a sad thing to see someone start off in internet marketing, and quickly quit because they don't think that it works. These are the same people that I acquire for free in my business - but they fail to realize that it's up to them to make the initiative to make their business a success.

If you can set goals in your internet business, you'll be on the fast track to success. Start small with your goals, and then expand gradually as you begin to get recurring sales on a weekly basis. Once you're making sales on a weekly basis, do more of what you're doing - so that you can enhance the sales process, and eventually achieve sales on a daily basis.

Goal setting in internet marketing is very important and is something that I think you need to do if you want to remain successful in your business. Trust me, I would know.

Good luck with setting goals in your online business.
