best advice for newbies amd struggling marketers?
if you aint getting the results you was hoping for or the "magic" you was promised
then you need to accept that this is your fault, thats right your failures are solely your own doing and only you can rectify these issues
Regardless of what picture you have in mind about internet marketing when you started..the truth is, internet is just medium, its not a scam or this 1 click automated process..its just one of many channels to spread your message to your target market
but its still business...and it needs to be treated like such
Now beside the obvious things like ideal prospect, lead gen and conversions heres a few things to bare in mind that are just important
1. If your tryna do it on the cheap/free working a couple hours a week...then you probably need get some sleep...job centres open early and you'll wanna avoid the queue, cause to succeed you need to be prepared to invest days, weeks even months of time and effort in to making this work and possibly alot of money on your education and finding the strategy that works best
2. if you want your product to be perfect then you need to let that habit go...when you aim for perfection nothing ever happens because something could always be improved, accept that "good enough" is "good enough" and any effort to make it better than good enough will probably go unrecognised anyways
3. Make sure you got bulletproof skin, because this industry is rife with haters and idiots, so expect arrows in your back...dont expect them to throw you any kind of "props" or respect for your efforts speshly when your doing better than them (truss me on this one) if your easily offended then you should probably do something else
4.write your own stuff, if you want get paid properly then you need to get used to writing your own stuff..this is selling, outsourcing this process is a bad move..its like asking another salesman to sell for you...it does work but good writing requires personality and you cant project your personality through someone else, thats a key factor in attracting your prospects anyway- who you are! plus by outsourcing ultimately your business depends on others which i feel is risky business
5. Stop listening to "noise" - people say lots of things ( speshly on WF ) and alot it is just grade A nonsense, just loads of silly cliches like "the moneys in the list" (a half true statement) most of them guys aint making real money anyway, if you want to develop study the marketing concepts and principles and even some of the pros like halbert, carlton, kennedy, schwartz...etc you'll be further along in your development
Theres still alot of other things to consider but this should help you kick on and find some success
hope this helps...peace
