How much of IM really is rinse and repeat?

I just wanted to start this thread because so many people say find something that works and then rinse and repeat it.

I know this is true to some extent, but even when you do this surely you're having to go back, check, re edit blah blah blah your work to make sure it's all in good standing.

So how many of you believe you can just 'rinse and repeat' or as some say, 'rinse and forget'?

    Like any business, Internet marketing has its own learning curve. Once you understand how it works and what works for you, you have your own formula or method or process in hand that gives you good results...

    So 'rinsing and repeating' this process *could* work for you - as long as you're tweaking it for even better results. So to answer your question - yes you can successfully 'rinse and repeat' as long as you keep yourself updated and improve your results with the changing times.

      I guess so Jassen! I don't know about you, but I'm definitely not complaining!

    Hi,

    I wouldn't say its rinse and repeat at all.

    I mean you spend time learning the different pieces of the puzzle like copywriting, site design, sales psychology, email marketing, paid traffic, SEO etc etc

    But then how you put those pieces together is always different and you tweak things a long the way. For example you would run a very different email auto responder if you ran a service rather than a blog etc

    Once you get to the point of understanding how you can put the different pieces of the puzzle together it almost becomes a freestyle sport ^^

    I don't think rinse and repeat here means doing exactly the same thing over and over again.

    It's more like once you find a winning formula to making money. Stick to that formula!

    Obviously, there would be some tweaking, split testing and all that.

    Overall most business is rinse and repeat, however there are never any guarantees that your next project will work as well as your other successes.

    I know how to make money with lead generation, but that does not mean that I don't launch new ad campaigns that completely fail, heck even new sites that never go anywhere. Still I would say it is mostly rinse and repeat, the same thing just doesn't always work.

    You try to analyze why it did not work in this market, cut your losses and move on to another market. The nature of business is movement.

    It's one possibility when you have a decent formula in place. Another possibility is scaling up.

    You can follow the same steps and achieve success again and again, but sometimes you cannot have the same results you had in a previous project when you repeat the same procedure because there are many points that are quite different.

    You have to adapt your knowledge to the new situation and make a few changes (or many changes) until you will get similar results, but this is not always possible.

    Many times a few different details don't let you have the positive results you had before.

    I so much prefer refining something that is working.

    I find that every time I try something completely new--there are holes missing in the methods and processes, and I only find those holes through experience.

    It always costs more to implement the new thing, and the new thing usually only works a fraction as well as the thing that I was doing that was actually making me money.

    (my two cents, for what its worth)

      It's about testing and adapting to what works, then quickly replicating that to profit before it evolves and you have to re-evaluate your methods.

      In essence you rinse and repeat when you find something that works. When your methods grow stale and systems change you evolve to whatever works, then repeat to profit as much as possible before things change again.

      The one thing i cant stand is when people complain about various changes that force them to evolve. That's just part of the game. Either play or sit down
