One-Word Secret to Online Marketing Success?

What’s the One-Word Secret to Online Marketing Success?

 

Would you like to know what one of the secrets to internet marketing success is? I’ll tell you in one word: consistency.

Many people are attracted to the idea of doing ecommerce. Some of these folks come to the internet with systematic thinking. They understand the importance of good training in doing whatever it is one sets out to do. This is commendable as it is important to analyze the whys and wherefores of the type of internet business that you plan to get involved in. It is vital, however, to realize when you’ve done enough analytical thought and training and that it’s time to step out and do the thing you’ve been preparing for.

There are those who will put into action what they’ve trained for. Unfortunately, they do not take consistent action. They do a little advertising here, a little over there. They sign up for resources that they plan to utilize but end up never using the resources. They try their hand on one thing first. When that effort does not produce the desired results as quickly as hoped, then they move on to the next thing that looks promising.

Then there are those people that do realize that consistency is vital, but they don’t have a clear understanding of what they need to be doing. They do not have the training needed. These are the people whom you notice spending money and time to blast out a replicated company website to whoever will bother taking a look at it. These people have not learned the essentials of internet marketing and attraction marketing. They often wind up frustrated, having lost time and money with little reward to show for it.

Successful internet marketers are able to mix the training they’ve had with consistent practice. They learn different marketing strategies and then they put these into action. As they become skilled in one method, they add another strategy to their cache of marketing weaponry. They schedule their activities so that everyday there is productive effort made towards their online businesses. There are certain days set aside for creating Squidoo lenses. Friends are added to MySpace or Direct Matches at regular intervals. The list is varied and unlimited. What’s important is that something productive is being done consistently to advance their online businesses.

There’s a simple equation to illustrate what we’ve been talking about.

Much training + little action = very little.

Little training + lots of action = disappointment.

Right amount of training + consistent effort = massive predictable success

Many people are ready to take consistent action; it’s the training they lack. Well, there are several sites one can go to for training in online marketing. Just do a little research to find them. What’s important is putting the training into action afterward…in a consistent manner.
