How to Succeed in Internet Marketing

Anyone trying to make a living with Internet marketing
has at least three things against them: They are working
on their own, they are being bombarded with new products
all the time, and they will find it very tempting to jump from
one money making plan to another.

How does one ever succeed online?

Self-Discipline

Anyone who is their own boss has to be very self-disciplined.
There is no one telling you to get up and get to work.
No one (unless it is your spouse) is going to tell you to get off
the phone or away from the TV and do something that will make money.

You are on your own, all the time. It is completely up to you
whether you spend one hour a day being productive or eight hours.
That is why self-discipline is so important.

It also takes self-discipline to not spend hours going over e-mails
instead of working. It is recommended that you limit the number
of e-mail lists you join. Why subscribe to 50 e-mail lists and then
have to spend two hours wading through your inbox deleting all those e-mails?

Signing up for two or three e-mail lists should be enough.
Limit it to the experts you really want to hear from.
Or better yet, subscribe to their RSS feeds.

It also takes self-discipline to not purchase every new product
that comes out with big promises of making you big money or
simplifying your life. The basic rule to follow is if it doesn't help
you in the area you have chosen to focus in, or if you already
have more than enough, then pass it by.

If the product is something that will help streamline your business,
you might want to consider it. Does it cut down on the amount of
work you have to do? Does it include leveraging your time by
giving work out to other people?
It might be worth the investment.

But if it is a product that teaches something that you really don't
need at this point, then don't fall for it. Let it pass.

Stay on Focus

Which leads to the next point, stay on focus. It is so incredibly
easy to jump from one thing to another. First, you need to
have a business plan. Second, you need to stick with that plan.

If, after you have given it a chance, you find that the plan is not
working, then consider altering course. But be careful you are
not changing your business plan just because you have become bored with it.

Yes, it helps to be excited about what you are working on,
but there are going to be times when everyone gets bored
with what they are doing. Take a day off, if that will help,
or get together with friends who are also business owners
and just talk. Renew the passion you had when you
started the business.

It is much better to sit back and renew your focus than to
trash one business plan for another and then another and
then another. You will discover a year from now that your
income is much less than it could have been because you
failed to concentrate on one plan.
