The Seeker – Are You Finding Success With Internet Marketing?
Why are you reading this article? Are you a success seeker? Are you one of the many thousands of aspiring internet marketers who are still searching everywhere even for just a tiny sip of marketing success? Are you tired of being asked yet again to open your wallet for the next best thing that’s going to give you that taste of success, yet the fear of never getting a taste drives you to take yet another chance to purchase another info product with your dwindling funds or bloated credit cards? Is your computer FULL of such wonderful products that looked so good but were either so complex that you couldn’t understand and implement them, or were such rehashed drivel to render them worthless? And how many ” HOT ” companies promising huge spill over and customers knocking down your doors have you joined? Four, five..maybe six? MORE?! Did those promises ever materialize?
My friends.. isn’t it time to wake up? The answers are all around you! The ” GURU’S ” are putting it ALL out there on a platter, all of the answers to success are there for you, but you have to be able to see and understand them for what they are. Personally, I woke up quite some time ago. My computer had just crashed, and for a time I wasn’t sure if I would be able to recover all the “stuff” I had sitting there gathering dust. THOUSANDS of dollars of products, and membership information on several systems sat in the balance of the skill of my computer repair technician to recover them. I also had a profound change in my life with the passing of my father, which took me away from all the hubbub of my day job and my night job (marketing) to join my family to mark his passing and celebrate his life.
The pause in my hectic daytime routine of family, home, day-job, and in the evenings: advertising, training, promotions, forum posts, scanning emails for any payments or signups, actually gave me some time to sit back and think. I was able to re-evaluate my situation, and in a flash I had the clarity to actually see myself and what I was doing. I realized the main reason those things were sitting there on my hard drive gathering dust was because I didn’t know how to deal with them. The systems, websites, the lists, and auto responders, the graphics, and the copy, the memberships, the strategies and techniques, PPC, AdSense…. with all that I knew and all my many skills I still found that I barely had a clue of what was required! I finally realized that if I was EVER going to make it online, I simply had to educate myself.
Now I’ve been blessed to have an understanding family, and doubly blessed to have a great job, and triply blessed to have resources at my disposal that I could still afford to take a step back and focus on that learning process, and quadruply (?) blessed in having great friends and mentors that have stood by me and assisted me, and so many more blessings that I could list to take up this entire article.. But the short of it is that it didn’t take me very long before I started to see where I was going wrong, and it was shortly after those realizations and I started to apply my learning that people started being attracted to me, I started making more sales, getting more signups, and my contacts with others started to elevate towards those who were also successful in their efforts, and I began to see what was behind the “veil”.
This is where you’ve got to be in order to succeed my friends! If you don’t ever pick up those training systems, those e-books, those recorded training sessions, watch those videos, and REALLY learn from them, you will always be where you are. You will never get ahead in this business, because the only ones who succeed here are those who knuckle down and learn this internet marketing thing inside and out.
Beyond that, with so many products and services available, it’s a simple fact that people who are truly successful have been able to re-evaluate themselves to see what their core strengths and interests are, and to focus themselves to become EXPERTS in those areas. Focus on sharing the expert knowledge you hold within, and people will gravitate to you. Not one of us can possibly become an expert in everything, so at some point you have to sit down and be honest with yourself, understand what your main strengths and interests are, and sharpen your focus to those areas. Learn everything you can about what you think you know!
Learn something new on a daily basis so that gradually over time you will gain more understanding and THEN you’ll be able to share that with others, and that will begin the natural process of attraction. People will become attracted to you for the knowledge they seek, and they will begin to look towards you as the expert and when you bring forth the products or answers they need they will happily compensate you for sharing with them.
There are other things that you can do that will assist in helping people realize your expertise, such as writing articles, creating your Blog, join forums and other membership sites and post there so people can get to know you.
With all of that of course comes a great responsibility. Now that you have started to attract those people wanting to learn from you, and you’ve started to establish your expertise and your following builds momentum, one misstep can shatter your growing success. Disregard for your responsibility to others will surely be your demise in this business, because nothing travels faster than BAD NEWS, and you DON’T want to be that bad news! Maintain your honesty AND integrity at ALL cost.
