a variety of online business forums, I often see posts about how people end up quitting their jobs to start a business online / internet marketing. This is good news for them - eventually became a netpreneur or for their own boss, have an entire day to themselves, and can start their own business.
On other days, I've also seen posts that talk about the difficulties and desperation in an effort to find uan on the internet. They are the people who are just starting out or those who have been there for a while and have not seen the results they expect in the beginning. Usually boils down to a "problem" mentality they have. One that I see often is a lack of focus and consistency. The remarkable thing about internet marketing (online business) is that whoever you are starting a 16-year-old high school student to a retired 50-year-old retiree can run an Internet business, but it's also like a double-edged sword. Not everyone will have the focus and discipline to pull off a successful business.
I have been interested in the productivity for a long time and narrow down my niche to focus.
The question I ask is what makes a person able to sit down and write 6000-word article for five hours non-stop, compared with people who have difficulty leaving relevant comments on a blog that takes five minutes to read? Why would someone be able to buy products and apply it for seven days, while others can buy the product and completely forget about it after you watch a video clip that ensures they are to achieve earning $ 3,000 per month?
This is an interesting question, not just for the internet business, but for any type of work in general.
Here are some examples of different things you might be good at:
Build Content
Make the article, post or video to your audience
Product Creation
Making or using other people's products that meet market needs, design a sales page, and create graphs for a product
Website Design
Choosing a website template and tweaking the HTML or CSS to make websites look more attractive
Search Engine Optimization
Perform on-page SEO, off-page SEO, and backlink building
Website Promotion
Going on the web 2.0 sites like Google +, Facebook, Twitter and build relationships with people in your niche
In the world of Internet Marketing, at one point or another, you will have to be a creator, designer, or promoter. There are so many things for sure that people will be overwhelmed because they want to do two, three, or all at once. Most people are frustrated because they want a successful Internet business in a flash .. then they do not focus and tried everything .. .. and with what result? None of what they do will succeed ..:)
When I realized that I want to buy hosting and domain name in March 2011, I began to write anything more than content to the site in early February.
During March, I made my website and doing web designing. I always see myself as a writer, and certainly not a website designer, so seeing all kinds of code scares me, but I learned by asking experts in forums such as WordPress.org and the theme of my forum. Most people are very helpful if you just ask.
In April, I researched everything I could about the focus and finish writing an e-book about it. I can add it to my website and proud that I can also get it out there.
Since May and June, I've been trying to do SEO and website promotion including forums blog commenting, posting, and now guests posting.
Sit down and focus hard for everyone, even more so now because of more advanced technology, making information more easily spread to the world at a faster pace. But like anything else, takes practice. You are not given the skills by reading books.
While I can not speak for everyone, here are some tips I've learned along the way to help me better focus and to help newbies or people who are struggling in online business:
1. Define clearly what you want to achieve from internet marketing. Do you want to generate passive income $ 10 per day or $ 5,000 per month; could become the world's best bloggers in your niche or get out of your house and not financially dependent of your parents.
2. Get to know your current situation. Be honest with yourself here. The closer you are to the truth, you will find little resistance when it reaches what you want.
3. Break down your goals in a realistic segments. By realistic, I mean taking a piece of your goals is not so easy that you feel anything when you get there, but not so loud that it's impossible to do. You must find a balance between the two. For me, I dedicate a month or about 30 days to either build content, product creation, website design, or SEO.
4. Focus on doing one thing at a time. Once you've broken your goal, the tasks in front of you should be less intimidating and can be done. Getting rid of all distractions, and just consider one thing to completion. You will be tempted to try and multitask, because it's part of human nature, but remember that research has shown multitasking to reduce the efficiency of a person's weight. If you fall off track, do not blame yourself. Just gently back to what you do. Again, like anything else, this will take practice.
5. Focus on your progress. Progress is everything. People complain because of what they do not have, but not grateful for what they have. If you always worry about what you want in the future but do not have now, that is 100% formula for frustration. Any kind of progress you do today is look at what you have at the moment and it is a formula for 100% satisfaction. Aiming to progress and aim for growth because these are the things that remind you of how far you've gone and how much better you can get.
As long as you know where you are now, know where you want to go, and take action every day, you will eventually reach your goal. You may fail many times, you may have to change course, and you may take longer than you first expected, but at least you'll get results that are supported by your actions, and not another story to tell people.
I hope my experience will help other newbies out there who are currently facing difficulties and frustration of trying to succeed in internet marketing world is crazy. Stay focused and continue to take action ....
Good Luck ....
