It is very easy to get confused in online advertising, especially with everybody telling you that this or that is the Golden key to riches. Unfortunatly, you don't know where to do to start, or even what to do to get better results?
Firstly, you need to understand that not everybody is right and when they are all telling you different things, how can they all be right..
Now you need to ask yourself, out of all those amazing idea's, how many have you tried? Then ask yourself how many of those have actually made you money?
More than likely the answer to this question is no, it always is. But be easy on yourself because there is hope. First we need to know what stage your at now.
If you are a beginner: Have you bought a Domain Name yet? Do you have a website or blog? Do you have an auto responder?
Been in internet marketing for 6 months: How big is your email list? How often do you send email's to your list, daily? Are you just promoting the same product over and over?
Advanced: How responsive is your list? What is your SERP? What results are you getting from your advertising dollars? How much money are you making every month?
Now this is just a short list of questions, there are a lot more, but this should have your wheels turning.
If you want better answers, you need to look at what you are doing and decide if it is the right things to be working on, How much time are you devoting to improving the things that support your internet empire. And how much time do you spend chasing your tail or the latest super hot technique.
Just so you know, most of the "new" programs and services that you read about online everyday, are nothing more than fluffed up stuff of the things that really work.
If you are not happy because your internet business is not where you thought it be by now, then you need to take a step back, decide exactly what you should be working on every day and make sure to get it done.
So how do you know how best to prioritize your time? Keep a ledger of everything that needs to be done and allot a time frame for each step. This is not the coolest thing in the world to do but this is a great way to make sure your doing what you need to do, and this has worked for people for the last 2,000 years.
Sounds simple right, but are you willing to just do it?
You need to set time aside everyday to improve on something that needs improvement, whether it is setting up new email's to be sent out in your auto responder so you are promoting more than 1 product, or better email's to get people to take another look at your product again.
Make your website copy more appealing to your visitors, submit some more articles to the article directories, leave links in blogs and forums every day, this builds back links and helps with your search engine rank.
Now all of these basic things will make you money. Once you are making money with the basics, you can then start adding new forms of advertising and stick with the ones that work. Before you start with a new program ask yourself if the new program is something you can do everyday, if so give them a shot.
So set some goals in your diary and write down some activities that you will do to help achieve those goals, now you can spend more time building your own online business instead of reading promotions from other people that are making them money.
Once you begin to start making more money online than you ever have before you will find these steps a pleasure to do everyday, and that will lead you to a new level of business. So be kind to yourself, decide exactly what you want to do, decide when you are going to do it and then do it. - 33376
