Newbies: Do you run a business or looking at tasks?

2 replies
ATTENTION ALL NEWBIES...

I have read a lot of things online recently and I notice a few things.

The biggest one is that I notice "Gurus" talk about business models, leverage, JVs, affiliate programs, etc.

Newbies talk about niche blogs, article marketing, etc.

Notice the difference?

Gurus talk about "Big" things that involve all the tasks listed in the newbie line.

If you are just article marketing you are doing a repetitive task. What is the end goal of that?

I noticed this when I was a new marketer. I never thought in models, leverage and such...and never did anything.

So when you are reading on forums, products, and other stuff...think about how this fits in with your STRATEGY.

And if you don't have a strategy...then get one...ASAP!!!


If you need help with this...drop me a PM and I'll respond shortly.

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

    Brad,

    I agree with you that people need a strategy. I find in my work with very new internet marketers that there are so many options and choices that they have no idea what's available or even how to create a strategy.

    Maybe that's something we can talk about ~ is what exactly and internet marketing strategy looks like.

      I'm glad you brought this up.

      The reason there are so many choices is that people are focusing on specific tasks.

      I'm guilty of this at times so I understand how easy it is.

      So to not go on a tangent I will answer "What an internet marketing strategy is"


      So what is it?


      Sell a product to a buyer who wants it.

      This is all the internet marketing business is.

      How to do it is another question all together.

      How many people do you think have this as their strategy?


      This is how it usually goes.

      1. Someone is struggling with money, time, or some other issue and sees online marketing.

      2. They get excited when they see "make 10k working 3 hours a month doing blah blah blah."

      3. They buy said product and are disappointed (inevitably).

      4. They say this industry is a scam.


      This is awful b/c so many people are turned off from the most amazing business of all time

      They didn't ask the question of how to sell something to someone that somebody wants.

      Business is business and it involves selling something.

      (all people sell too b/c we sell our time at jobs)



      Article marketing, PPC, JVs, list swaps, blogging, safelists are all tools to sell something.


      The key though is selling something.


      I hope you all see that I'm trying to share some tough love. I want to help anyone who really wants to help themselves to a better life that they deserve.

      Hope this gets you on track!
