Struggling To Get Started Online?

Hi Warriors.

Just posted a new status on my Facebook Fan page for my readers and thought I'd share it over here as I know that getting started online is the hardest part. Hope you can take some value away form it if you're currently struggling.

"Struggling to get started online?

Here's a 6 step action plan you can use right now to move you one step closer to your goals:

#1 - Set up a WordPress blog

This will be a channel to create an online presence and provide social proof of your progress as you build your online business.

#2 - Make your 1st post sharing your story and set your first goal

Don't try to be someone your not - just be yourself! Others will connect and relate to you this way. They will get to know, like and trust you over time. This is very important!

#3 - Next up, go get some free traffic back to your blog

This will establish your online presence and build your audience. You'll also build relationships with other marketers in your niche - a must if you want to get results.

#4 - Now, post to your blog at least once a week sharing your journey. Document your steps and the RESULTS you are getting.

Encourage interaction with your readers. And make sure you are consistent with your traffic generation methods.

#5 As soon as you hit your goal create a FREE report teaching others how to duplicate your success and add it to your blog sidebar.

This is going to build the BIGGEST asset for your business - a list!

#6 Look for affiliate offers to promote to your new subscribers and continue to add value and keep building those relationships.

Finding a membership offer to promote will give you a recurring income and allow to you invest your earnings back into your business so you can SCALE and GROW.

Follow these steps and you WILL build the foundations of a success internet business...BUT you must take action!

Hope that helps!

    This is great information, and that's often the case here on this forum. BUT, who will act upon on it. Very few will I reckon....

    Absolutely TomerN. As simple as this stuff sounds it took years to discover and thousands in mentor fees. Baffles me just how many do NOT take action and go off chasing 'get rich quick' schemes instead

      Struggling newbies should definitely pay attention to and take action on this. This is the precise series of steps that I've been taking. Well, I should clarify and say that I tried doing things in other ways and didn't get anywhere. It was only by doing the same as is laid out in this action plan that I started to see any results at all.

      I just need to complete step #5 now, but I'm working on it

    Yes great info, now you need to add a timetable for putting this all into place. Frequently what happens is that people will get to point 2 or 3 and then falter.

    I believe the real skill is in mainting the necessary focus required to complete all the points.

    Good post though.

    Thanks Kerry.

    Good post!

    However I promote a very lucrative 'System'.

    The good old fashioned way works best for me:

    1- Generate 'targeted' website traffic into a highly converting lead capture page.

    2- The lead capture page should be able to weed out the tire kickers out there. This known as 'sorting'.

    3- I capture phone number leads because this is a more serious lead. Everyone and their grand mothers out there have multiple email addresses but people are more hesitant to give up their phone numbers.

    Sure this will give you less leads but we are not 'focused' on leads in this industry, we are focused on sales and helping our team 'duplicate'.

    4- Then I will have a 'brief' conversation with the person who asked me to call them about my opportunity.

    5- If they qualify to work with me, I then send them to my business overview to do 'due diligence'.

    6- Then I follow up with them to collect a decision.

    All business in any industry is based on 'relationships' and 'connections'.

    This concept has worked for decades and still works to this day.

    If you look around this industry, the people who make the money are the people who are not afraid to connect personally over the phone.
