Do you have what it takes to be a successful online marketer? Read this and see!
By Sandi Hunter
To be a successful online marketer,
liken yourself to being a dog chewing on a bone. That means gnarling
away hungrily to post and promote every day - or at least as often as
you can. You can't expect to make sales if you don't constantly gnaw
on that bone called promotion. We teach you all about promotion in
George Kosch's online and LIVE weekly bootcamp training sessions.
Promotion, and the need for constant
promotion is the one thing that many new marketers take along time to
fully grasp. Many underestimate how much promotion you must do to
see results and give up far too soon.
Grow a thick-skin.
When you contact people (people who've
actually ASKED for the information) you're going to hear things like
"GET ME OFF THIS LIST" or " I never asked for this
information" or "how did you get my email address/phone
number!" Learn now to convert the negative energy of rejection
into the positive energy of moving forward. Move on to the next
person, lead or prospect. The Internet is a massive place, if this
person isn't interested in your offer the next person is waiting. The
more you post, the more you promote, the more you connect with
people, the MORE sales you make. Be nice, build relationships with
people and you will gain lifetime customers. If you can't do that or
don't want to do that you will never make it as a successful
marketer.
You've got to have instant access to
products and services that are of real value, products that are in
demand, new services that people need and want - NOW! You can't be
wasting time on looking for what to sell, what's hot, you've got to
be able to call up your product list and press SEND on the promotion
materials. Not sure how to do that? That's what we offer our
Worldprofit Members, instant access to in-demand products/services
and the marketing materials to promote them. It's all in your Member
area, the Clickbank Promo Kit, the Money Makers Kit, the Fast Cash
Products, the PLR Store, the 20+ Income Streams and of course
Worldprofit services too.
Understand why and how building a list
is so critical to your business growth and cements your long term
sales objectives. Your products and services may change, your offers
may change but your list is a targeted buyers list that must be grown
and cared for with the utmost of your attention. George Kosch talks
about this in the bootcamp training. You may very well have found
Worldprofit by being on one of our marketing lists. Now we teach you
how to build YOUR list so you are a seller not a responder ending up
on someone else's list!
You need access to a goody bag of
offers - really good offers. Really cool things you can add QUICKLY
to your offer that have a real value to entice people to take action
today, not next week. Worldprofit Members you have this in your Offer
Builder, in your Goody Bag, and more - it's all in your Worldprofit
Member area. Offers are what gets people sniffing around and is what
helps close sales. You, me, everyone likes a deal - offers are the
icing on the cake!
Employ a never-give up attitude. If
you're the kind of person who goes hard for a few days then peters
out losing interest, then online marketing is not for you. You've got
to be prepared to promote as often as you eat. When you are hungry
you seek out food, when you want to make money online you must
promote. Ask yourself, are you really committed? If you are that
means investing the time, and effort into learning and DOING the
tasks required, failing, making mistakes then continuing toward your
goal.
Eliminate or at least filter out the
negative people in your life. You know who they are, the ones that
tell you it will never work. They say you are crazy to spend so much
time online. The people who are telling you all the reasons why you
can't do it, while you yourself are actually doing it. Don't be smug
though, when you start getting results, simply smile and give
yourself a pat on the back. You are one of the truly unique, you
think, you do, you tune out the negative and simply focus on your
goal.
Be realistic. Don't start promoting
online thinking you are going to get rich overnight, or even in a few
weeks or months. Put on a "HYPE FILTER" to filter out all
the bunk, promises and fake pitches you hear and see. Believe only
that with hard work and consistent effort you will get results.
Believe in yourself to build your own success not in the pitches that
making money online is easy or instant.
Set realistic goals for your earnings,
and be prepared to grow your business over time. Build your online
resources, build your lead list, build your customer list, grow your
profits by nurturing your business. Your business is a tender green
shoot, care for it daily and you will have an oak tree some day.
Forget to water, overwater, walk away for too long and you will be
left with a dead twig.
Get help. You're not going to do this
alone, nor should you. Find online marketers, online communities,
facebook groups, mentors, like-minded people who think like you do.
Network, share, support, give and get back. Worldprofit's home
business community is made up of real people from all walks of life
and experiences from all over the world with the same goal as you -
improving their financial situation for self and family by learning
how to earn at home using the resources of the web along with the
security blanket of Worldprofit's training and support.
Be willing to learn and commit to
applying what you learn. Being a successful online marketer is
really no different than being a lawyer, plumber, pilot, truck driver
in that you have to learn and MASTER specific skills. Apply those
skills consistently, evaluate your progress, try harder, work harder
to get the results. Don't think for one minute that this is easy or
that you will instantly "get it". If you don't want to
learn, won't take the time, and have no patience, find something
else. Internet marketing is not for you.

incorporates easy access to hot products, ads, services you can sell,
reputable places to promote, coaching and training and ongoing

and support services to accomplish the same thing faster and more
efficiently. Worldprofit offers our Members the system to build your
online business. The place online where you earn consistent income.

number of reliable trusted sources. We don't just give you the
hammer to build your business, we give you the whole tool kit, a
blueprint to build it, and the support and help you need to expand it
for years to come.
Ask yourself how much time you are
going to commit to building your online marketing business. If your
answer is an hour a day fine, set a goal, stick with it. If it's 4
hours a day, stick with it. Be sure to adjust your sales goals based
on the amount of time you work your business. The more time you put
into it the more you get back.
Take responsiblity yourself and your
success (or lack of). No single product or guru is going to be your
secret success solution, the one answer to your financial dreams.
The only person who is going to make it happen and DO what needs to
be done to achieve it - is YOU.
Have an open-mind. Online marketing is
not taught in school, you are an entrepreneur and thus made of a
unique kind of tenacity and grit. Successful entrepreneurs don't give
up, they don't know it all, they seek solutions, make mistakes, they
get up and try again. Be a DOer not an analyst, not a deep thinker,
but someone who rolls up their sleeves digs in, gets dirty and
insists on results.
I've been in the online home business
industry for over twenty years as a business owner, a coach, and a
marketer. I've seen it all. People come in, happy, eager,
determined. Some last a few days, some a few months. Then you get
down to a very small percentage of people, the truly determined, the
people I have worked with for years. The one common trait the
winners, the non-quitters all have is - are you ready for this?
RESILIENCE. These people weren't the
top of their class, they weren't the bottom, they are average people
who have the ability to recover quickly from difficulties, from a
tough life, from a path full of bumps and obstacles. Who among us
doesn't have "stuff" in our lives, problems, distractions
that keep us from achieving our goals. The difference is how you
recover from life's challenges and go on.
Here's the actual definition of
RESILIENCE from Merriam Webster:
Resilience
: the ability to become strong,
healthy, or successful again after something bad happens
: an ability to recover from or adjust
easily to misfortune or change
If you are a resilient, one of those
strong, determined people who never gives up I devote this article to
you.
It's over to you now. Do you have what
it takes to be a successful online marketer?
