The KEY to a Successful Internet Marketer

7 years ago

Hi John,

you have made some very good points there.

For myself, where you have said No Creativity I have found that where I have stuck rigidly to a Guru's course I have not always succeeded.

I have had to adapt things slightly if it makes more sense.

Some Guru's will actually say this in their programmes.

I don't mean being ultra creative, just if I can see a way of doing something that will be slightly more beneficial in one way I will often go with my instinct.

If it does not work I will go and do it the Guru's way

I would like to add to your list:

Dedication, once you have a plan that shows some glimmer of hope but is not 100% successful, you will need to be dedicated and not give in.

There will be hurdles to overcome - you have to take them in your stride as a marketer to be successful.

Be Open Minded

If I can see an opportunity to do something better then I will be open minded about it.

Best Regards
Ged

Yes, but i think that "Creativity" comes AFTER you implement it for at least 60 days.

Not immediately: cause you may mixed your opinion with the teacher's course and end up saying that it does not work.

Opinions do not matter if there's no experience behind: thats why you buy a course, to learn. If you disquise the method before implementing it, i think it does not work.

Personalization comes after implementation at state of the art.

Yes, you give it 60 days.

After 60 days you if something is failing you only change it then.

If something is failing and you can see a way to improve on it you would be a fool
not to

Has a lot to do with being aligned with something you want to do and are good at...for instance, I find many people buy a course or program based on what they are convinced worked for someone else - but they themselves have zero interest in it. Result is that even if they DO focus enough to get something done, they won't stick with it long enough to promote and grow it.

For example, someone who really wants to create products or courses but is convinced that setting up an e-commerce site is the way to go will never succeed to the level they desire if they are not 100% in...

I've seen it over and over again where people start something, even to the point of launch, make a few hundred dollars and then quickly grow to hate ongoing promotion, marketing and support because it's the wrong business for them.

Not a total loss since they likely picked up some basics around marketing and setting up online businesses, etc....but not the ticket to long-term success either.

If/when you find the right combination of doing what you are good at and what you are interested in...combine that with commercially viable offer then things like focus and motivation are much easier in my experience.

I personally find easy to follow a system if it resonates with me and my values. The rest is just about how to be productive once you chose a certain path..anyways 60days in some cases might not be enough to implement in some cases (in the SEO industry the results start to come after 1-1.5 years of work,efforts, money invested and so on)

And in 60 days it increases traffic and so sales: i mean i saw RESULTS , which was the proof that the strategy worked, and then obviously i had to rinse, repeat and make more.

I more, more, more than agree with John! I have seen some of my friends who bought a course and just (it looked to me) they were trying to outsmart it by saying they'd do this or that differently, or even saying the course is wrong, which left me wondering why did they buy it at all?? On the other hand, I've seen other friends of mine who bought a course, but they were dealing with information overload outside of the course.... Both "cases" needed to "solve something", had the solution in their hands. but because they lacked focus and action - they were getting nowhere...

Yes its tempting to change things and get them wrong.

It is always a good idea to give the guru's method a reasonable chance.

The only problem is you have to be careful in who you follow as a guru.

Also gurus often have advantages such as very large lists of active subscribers
and a team to help them with a host of other things.

Creativity and etc comes AFTER you follow the rules.

Immagine a child in the first class of a school constantly trying to debate, change and re-interpret the teachings.

The fact is that in 99% of the cases he isnt a genious, but just uneducated.

For improving something you have at least tried it before for a reasonable time.

Awesome post John!

I'm just about to start a 60-day challenge and I'm super excited to see the momentum I can build, and most importantly see how I can get out of the consumer mind and into the content creator mind!

I've been building a business using purely email marketing, keeping the majority of my content within my emails (due to my lack of success growing a blog and YouTube in the past)

So for my 60 day challenge so far I am planning to do the following every day:
- Write and send content / promo email
- test and tweak squeeze page
- Improve opens and click throughs

Is there anything anyone else could add?

Also I'd love to hear the general consensus on whether you warriors believe it's possible to build and affiliate only business using only email marketing and no outside content (I.e blogs etc)

I'd love to hear your thoughts

Cheers

Thanks

The most important thing is if the products match your audience, if there's a market and if you have multiple products to advertise and sell, which are also good and tested.

Then you need to develop a traffic strategy: how do you use fb ads? youtube? blog?

I mean as a SOURCE of traffic to your opt in page.

You can have a business on email marketing, of course, but the streams of traffic has to come elsewhere, and for selling, you need to have the most content possible spread everywhere and synched with your market strategy.

Email Marketing remains the CORE of the business: where do you sell, you establish an asset, etc. but the other media need to be used cause they amplify your presence, get your potential customers through different angles, and deliver traffic to your opt in page.

Thanks for coming back to me John.

I've been running fb ads to my squeeze page which then runs through my "getting to know me" sequence then onto content emails with links to clickbank products (only ones that I've personally used and had great success with).

I feel pretty comfortable with everything you've mentioned with regard to traffic source and the core business, I think my biggest issue is the mental block that it all seems almost too simple, that I struggle to get my head around a business that can make me a lot of money that is as simple as a paid advert to multiple contacts via email.

So I have your approval (lol) that my 60 day challenge should consist of an email each day, constant testing of ads, squeeze page and different products? Perhaps blogs and videos too?

I really appreciate your help, thanks so much

It's far to be "simple": i mean it can be fast to se first results, but not simple in terms of set and forget.

Nothing set and forget: you have to constantly test ads and reinforce the products marketing to balance what you earn and what you spend for ads.

You have to take care of the Zero Moment of Truth: i mean adding infos through blogs and posts, which people can read when they google you before buying

And take care of every improvement: i mean now videos is the kings, instagram has 83% more engagement of facebook, etc.

No set and forget.

BUT for the firsts 60 days you focus on building your list, adding value to your list and advertise your product.

AFTER having results within 60 days it will the time for improvement, for spreading more content, for adding more channels for income leads, etc.

Creativity COMES AFTER practice. Otherwise it's useless to buy course or follow someone.

To me the main key is the Brand with a capital B to be successful. Although success can be measured in many different ways, but I trust that in this context success equals profitable.

In many ways, my own businesses have their own Brands, but all of thos Brands have two traits in common and those are Honesty and Reliability with capital H and R. When buyers become repeat buyers that is based on the facts that they received an Honest product (physical or informational) and their own results are based on a Reliable physical product or information product.

Yepper, the.. Brand.

The 60-day challenge.

What's that?

In the first 60 days, in the next 60 days:

FOCUS to only ONE THING: if you bought a course, use ONLY THIS, do what it teaches. If you follow a IM Teacher, do what he says AND ONLY what he says.

STOP YOUTUBE searching, dabbing: do ONLY what the course teaches, step by step. Not search more on Youtube or Facebook, or blogs. Not go "deep" which is an excuse to get lost in the particulars and definately go away from the path.

TURN OFF NOTIFICATIONS: no wapp, no fb, no smartphone noises while you're working. If the world collapses you will know later.

STICK TO THE PLAN: dedicate a SPECIFIC amount of HOURS EVERY DAY, no matter what's happening. If the course tells you how many, stick to it. if not do it the first day, count the hours you took, and then add 1 or 2 and stick to that amount EVERY DAY.

NO CREATIVITY: do what it takes, what the course, guru says, do not follow your 'opinions', if they were right you did not buy the course, cause you were making money already.

NO MULTITASKING: all this crap of being able to do X amount of things at the same time is a completely waste of time, you are not a computer, your attentions gets divided if you do it, and it turn in less efficiency.

This for 60 days, the jusdge the results: did you make money? yes, rinse and repeat, if not, ask for a refund.

Simple, yet effective. I started doing this in 2010 with a Seo course, it worked, then i shifted to paid advertising and focused on email marketing.

This is a rule, a mindset.

Well said. I totally agreed with you. I think discipline is very important as well as consistency in your job.

Never took a course, so I'm not the one to judge, but it's surprising to me that the first course you took actually worked. So many of those things sound like MLMs to me, the only way to make money with it is by selling courses to others it seems. Or even teaching others about how to teach (how deep can it go?

).
Glad to hear it worked for you though
