Internet Marketing Success – The Secrets to Online Success Revealed

Hi and Thanks for checking out my blog again. Where there is always something new to learn.

The secret to Internet marketing success is MUCH easier than you’d imagine (or have been told).

Many gurus convince us that we’re just one secret away from Internet marketing success. I don’t find this to be true. Instead, I find sticking to a simple plan of action is all that’s needed to become successful when marketing your business over the Internet.

Just follow these free internet marketing secrets and you’re just 30 days away from Internet marketing success:

Mingle with successful people - They say you earn the average income of your 5 closest friends. Are you hanging out with highly successful people? If not, it might be costing you.

Skip the gurus - One of the absolute biggest mistakes I’ve made over the years was to listen to the advice of self-proclaimed gurus and experts.

When I was young and naive, I’d idolize those promising the fast path to instant internet riches. I read their home study courses word for word. And I joined every mailing list.

But guess what… either I did something very wrong or they gave us most of us really bad advice because I never made it big as they promised. Not even close. (And I’m a “doer”… so I can’t be blamed with the lack of effort.)

Today, I’m pretty sure they too lied to us, because there are lots of people who have ordered these programs and have yet to produce their very first affiliate commission over the ‘net.

While there might be exceptions to the rule, I find that most gurus are really great at hyping us with livin’ the good life, but fail miserably at delivering the “what to do” and “how to do it.”

Hocus Pocus Focus - This is my #1 successful internet marketing strategy.

There really are magical qualities of staying focused. It’s much more profitable than procrastinating and putting things off. When you commit to getting things done, success comes to you much faster. One of my absolute favorite books is called, “Getting Things Done” — it literally turned me from a distracted mess into a focused machine in less than 72 hours.

Just say no - Speaking of distractions, think about all of the time you waste talking on the phone, answering emails, and chit chatting. The most successful people refuse to answer their own phones… they check their email just once or twice per day, and chit chat only when all of their work is complete.

Say goodbye to unnecessary expenses - Think about all of the things you pay for on a monthly basis. See if you can eliminate them.

For example, do you really need an expensive cell phone? I got rid of mine years ago — saving me almost $40 a month (and most important, saving me from wasting time chit chatting).

Speaking of the phone, I use a cheap calling card to make most of my long distance calls… paying less than three cents per minute (instead of 25 cents a minute with the big phone companies).

When I had employees and high overhead, my monthly “nut” (fixed expenses) were over $20,000.00 a month. Today, it’s $75 monthly. Instead of office space I work from home. I made the switch in 2000 and it was the best move ever. I hardly use my car (just under 5,000 miles this year), and I don’t fret about the high cost of gas (because I don’t drive to work anymore).

Increase your heart rate - When I’m feeling sluggish and need a quick jolt of energy, I slash my intake of caffeine and instead engage in a light exercise routine. I stretch, run in place and do bicycle kicks daily (yes, including weekends). You’d be amazed how much energy you get just after your exercise routine. Plus I’m starting to get back into my skinny jeans again.

Embrace group brainstorming - Commit yourself to find other passionate businesspeople to swap marketing ideas with.

If you’re concerned about sharing your ideas with others in a mastermind group, don’t fret — you’re going to get a lot more in return working as a group than going about it all by yourself.

Outsource the time-consuming stuff - Sites like ScriptLance.com and eLance.com give you an almost-instant pool of people to delegate the work you hate to do — usually for much less than doing it all yourself. Most workers based in the Philippines not only speak near-perfect English, but have a great work ethic and consider $3.00 an hour a king’s sum of money.

Mentor with secret successes - Unlike gurus, those who are really successful seem to hide under the radar and keep to themselves.

And sometimes, out of nowhere, these quiet successes rise to the surface and desperately want to reveal how they really became successful.

They’re beyond successful. They have virtually everything you’d want to buy. But there’s one thing missing… they would like to leave behind their legacy.

Unlike the gurus, these success aren’t going to promise to make you rich. Instead, they just get tremendous satisfaction out of helping you make your first sale… showing you how to avoid the mistakes and helping you get to the next level of growing your business.

Watch out for the price of success - My advice is to invest the same amount of time choosing your friends as you do choosing your business plan, because success does come with a price.

Some of your friends and family will turn on you. They’ll expect you to loan them money and bail them out through tough financial binds — somehow thinking they’ve earned the right for you to be their sugar daddy.

Your success is guaranteed to threaten their egos as you easily afford groceries while they struggle to pay for gas.

The people who treat you differently because of the size of your bank account are probably not the people who deserve your friendship.

And your “friend problems” are going to get a lot worse when you’re doing well over the internet… because in the back of their mind, they’re upset that you’re “making all of that money for so little work.”
