Why you may be struggling more than you really have to in Internet Marketing
Wondering why some parts of marketing your business
is easy while others make you want to take a baseball
bat to your computer screen?
For me, writing copy, coming up with ideas, and doing
most of the marketing doesn't bother me, but when it
comes do to certain parts (like looking at stats,
conversions, playing around with AdSense, etc.) drives
me up the wall.
And no wonder none of the parts that drive me crazy
are any of my strengths.
Recently I've been working on really zeroing in on
my strengths in Internet Marketing - which is something
that I wish I did YEARS ago.
I took a test and now I'm reading a few books on
finding and working with your strengths. By the time
I'm all said and done with this process, my Internet
businesses will be given a complete makeover and
I'll have others working on the things that I'm not
good at. (Making sure that the things I need done
are the persons strength.)
Here is the first test I took:
http://www.kolbe.com/all_kolbe_index...extype=kolbe_a (direct link, not an affiliate link
and I'm not affiliated with them in any way.)
Link to their main page:
http://www.kolbe.com
Note: They charge you to see the results, but it's
worth it.
I think ESPECIALLY for newbies starting off in Internet
Marketing, learning your strengths really needs to be
the first step.
You'll avoid burn out and countless frustrations. And
heck, it may even save you from information overload!
Some of the courses, ebooks, videos, etc. that you
are learning from may be having you do things to
start/market your business that is not one of your
strengths. So if you're feeling a lot of resistance and
you're burning out quickly - that may be the reason!
For those who have been around the block for awhile,
it's a good idea to take a step back once in awhile and
evaluate where and who you are, along with your
business.
I think we tend to keep ours heads down and blinders
down in the Internet Marketing world and often forget
this important step... to focus only on work that uses
out unique abilities and do what we can to find others
who can do the rest.
