For example, I'd pick
1. Email List Creation!
2. Staying Niche Idea and Market Focused!
3. Have a Burning Passion and Belief in what You Sell!

What say you?

    • Hmm, I don't have 3, but the one thing I try to focus on is not jumping around from idea to idea and giving up too early. If you stick with one method and work it for a decent amount of time, you have to see results.
      If you give 100% it's virtually impossible to fail in my opinion.

        I have to agree with not giving up too early. You never know what's out there until you give your very best.

    Commandments, hmmmm let me think ...

    1. Thou shalt work out WHOM thy target market is, down to the number of hairs on their head (ok, well perhaps that's going slightly too far, but you do need to know exactly who they are and what they want).

    2. Thou shalt become an EXPERT in the field in order to serve thy market well.

    3. Thou shalt construct offers that thy target market find very hard to resist BECAUSE you have solved their problems, provided them with the information for which they were seeking and you have satisfied a need.

    4. Thou shalt NOT put making money before the rendering of SERVICE.

    5. Thou shalt NOT use any kind of trickery or DECEPTION of any kind in thy marketing methods.

    6. Thou shalt LEARN as much as possible about thy market and their wants and needs.

    7. Thou shalt REINVEST some of your profits in thy BUSINESS to compound your results.

    8. Thou shalt continually TWEAK thine APPROACH until it becomes as efficient as possible.

    9. Thou shalt be heartily GRATEFUL for all the blessings that come thy way.

    10. Thou shalt take thy MONEY to the bank.

    __________

    UNADVERTISED BONUS

    11. Thou shalt always GIVE something extra over and above what thy customer expects.
    __________

    Will

    P.S. 11 = 3 (in Binary), so I hope that was ok.

      1) Plan: build a marketing system.
      2) Execute: take a lot of action, but make sure you create training tools and systems along the way..
      3) Delegate your execution so you can focus all your attention on coaching your outsource manager and connecting with joint venture partners.

    1. Choose a system that is appropriate for you
    2. Get all the pieces of that puzzle

    Note: The best way to get all the pieces of the puzzle is to learn from someone who is already doing it successfully and ready to teach you(nothing wrong in paying for a course)

    3. Take action consistently and Finish

    Eg:

    1. You decided to succeed as an Amazon affiliate
    2. You got all the pieces of the Amazon affiliate system
    a) Niche research
    b) Keyword research
    c) Competition analysis
    d) Site building using wordpress
    e) Writing quality content and reviews
    f) link building and driving traffic
    d) Conversion strategies

    Note: Some of the best people to learn from are
    a) Paula and Wanda
    b) Jan Roose
    c) Dan Brock
    d) Chris Guthrie
    e) Gaz Cooper

    It's best to join one course and follow it

    3. Take action consistently and Finish ( The hardest part )


    You can apply this 3 steps whenever you need to succeed in any system

    Hope it helps

    Trying to not sound too religions here but ... you started it lol.

    A very respected figure in Christianity condensed the 10 commandments into two for the new testament gang. I will condense the 3 marketing commandments into one.

    Thou Shall Love Thy Customer As Thy Self!

    When you start treating your customer as the most important part of your business, everything else seems to fall into place.

    Make their experience with you the very best possible. Go above and beyond to deliver what they need, when they need it. Try to leave as much of you out of the equation as possible and insert customer needs above yours.

    The site is for them. The product is for them. The communication channel is all about them. The delivery system considers their wants and needs.

    Offer a product or service you can be proud of and they can be happy with. Follow up on your sales, if you delivered true quality, they will be glad to hear from you and you can learn more about what is needed to make the entire process more pleasurable fore your next customer.

    Here are mine;

    1. Choose a model and acquire basic knowledge about IT ALONE!: You don't need to be a guru before you make money, just learnt the BASICS and you'll learn others as you go.

    2. TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!
    Take action after you have acquired the basic knowledge about what you want to do...taking action alone will never make you money if you do not know what you are doing or you are doing the wrong thing.

    3. BE PERSISTENT!
    Do not give up before you make money. You never know how close you are to success...You can always give up after you have succeeded.

    After I watched PLF-webcast with Frank Kern as guest, he gave his 2 commandments and those are the ones I follow.

    1. Thou shalt not f**k around
    (Meaning: GET TO WORK)

    2. Thou shalt not be a pussy
    (Meaning: Work is hard, when it doesn't go great and you get punched in the face, you've gotta get back up and punch back harder!)

      Good feedback. The recurring theme seems to be take action and stay motivated. Probably the two hardest things to deal with (if you're not meeting your goals or out right failing).

      Here's is where we come to the crossroads. So, do you keep going, make midcourse corrections or see whose hiring?
