The Key to Success in 2011

8 replies
He we are again, another year in the Internet Marketing world comes to an end. So what did you make of 2010 and what are your plans for 2011?

For me 2010 was a bit of a strange year, I moved into a brand new office and I have became more productive than ever but it seemed to take me a few months to get going, I think I was just enjoying being an Internet Marketer and the freedom that brought me so I didn't really do a great deal in the first half of 2010 apart from the relaunch of one of my main products. That is now an evergreen product and pretty much takes care of itself.

I was a lot busier in the 2nd half of the year and I have just came off the back of a major launch. This launch actually took me almost 3 months to put together and was over 12 months in the making. The launch did really well and we have done over $50,000 in sales since launch last week.

There was over 500 hours put into creating the product and I initially sold it for only $37. I also released a couple of smaller $10 products and had a couple of 72 hour fire-sales that proved very popular.

So why am I telling you this?

Well the reason is that no matter what you may think of the Internet Marketing world and whatever people tell you one thing will never change.

People will always be looking for information and it's our job to provide this information.

The key to your Internet Marketing success is to create and keep creating new information products and to use these products to build an army of followers. As long as you keep putting buy buttons and opt-in forms in front of people you can't really go wrong.

I had a lazy year this year, I only had one major product launch and one re-launch but I still managed to earn 10 times more than I used to at my regular job.

So as we come to the end of 2010 I want to give you the best piece of advice I could ever give you, are you ready? Here it is.

Stop looking for the magic bullet because you will never find it. Ignore the promise of easy riches in the form of clever sales copy and unscrupulous marketers who don't care about your welfare and get to work. Create valuable, useful content that people want to consume and success is almost guaranteed in 2011.

    • Hi John

      I just got seriously started with IM towards the end of this year after dabbling with not much direction for a few years.

      Signed up last week for your Affiliate Promo Formula so am really excited to be working with you and implementing your strategies in 2011.

      Here's to a great New Year

      Cheers

    The key to success in 2011 is the same as any other year - taking action!

    For me, one of my main goals is to automate/outsource most of my business so I can spend more time on doing more things that make me money and less time on the boring, repetitive tasks.

  • Regardless of whether we're in 2011 or 2010 or 2009, etc, the same formula still applies to make this whole IM game work for you:

    Success = targeted traffic * front-end conversion * back-end monetization

    No need to re-invent the wheel. Stick to this time-proven formula and you'll make money.

    Thanks for the inspiration. As somewhat of a newbie, I plan to pour my heart and soul into achieving my goals in 2011. I have long desired to become an IMer and replace my 'job' income. I do like my 'job', it is just hard physical labor and I don't know if I have another 25 years in me for that. I can visualize myself doing IM instead. What a great journey to embark upon, and I can't wait for the ride in 2011!
