Are these really the top 5 tips for Internet Marketers? Hell I don’t know. But I do know that if you screw any of these up you are going to have one heck of a time making money online.
First one is really simple….Baby you got to have a plan!!! You need some reference guide by which to navigate the online waters. If you were a ship leaving San Francisco and were told to pull into China somewhere and you didn’t have any maps to guide you. No Chop Suey for you. Having a plan is at the very least necessary to get you out of port. The plan doesn’t have to be great in the beginning, because you can fine tune it as you go. But it will help you get out beyond the breakwater at least.
The quality of your plan will rest on tip or action item number two. In Real Estate…it’s location, location, location…….but here in the commercial waters of the Internet…it’s Research, Research, Research. If you don’t know where the hungry customers are, then having the greatest product in the world is useless. To find those hungry masses, you must get into doing research. And quality research at that.
Keyword research!
Customer research!
Market demand research.
But how do you know what to use or where to go to do the research, or even have much of an idea what that research means once you have a stack of numbers. Well, that leads us to tip number three. Have you ever heard the saying, “If you want to know what a millionaire knows, then take him to lunch.” That’s really akin to saying find successful people and emulate them. Find out what they do and then you do the same things. maybe not on the same scale because you are just starting out. But at least get some activity going based on solid ground.
Now that leaves us with four and five. Let’s see I may need to make these up………..oh I remember. Break everything down into small bite size pieces. Don’t look at your project as one grandiose endeavor, or it may turn out to appear far too daunting of a task for you to handle. You know how you eat an elephant, right? Yep, one bite at a time. So break your project down into many small pieces and tackle them one at a time. That way you will be able to build upon success after success after success.
Tip five is really important. You must have persistence and test. Test everything you do. For example, if you are running a pay per click campaign. The run two slightly different ads. After a suitable time period, whichever one is performing the best, it then becomes the control ad. Get rid of the loser ad, and replace it with another ad and let those two go at it. Again after a suitable amount of time, keep the winner and dump the loser and replace and test again.
It’s very important that you don’t give up. You must keep on keeping on as they say. Making money on the Internet is not a wham bam thank you mam process. After all, what you are attempting to do, whether you know it or not, is develop a business. Even though it may not be a brick and mortar building, it still is a business and if done right, can make you a lot more money with less risk than that stationary building down the block. And here’s the absolutely best part……Drum roll please…..You can sit at your computer and conduct business in your underwear. If that isn’t the greatest…..Well, if you have a regular job and are doing the online marketing thing in your spare time, try going to work tomorrow in your underwear and see what the boss says.
I know what my boss will say tomorrow when he sees me in my underwear…..Lookin’ Good Allen, because he’ll be speaking to me from the mirror, I am my boss!
Those may not actually be the top 5 tips, but they are up there close , so pay attention and go get em.
