The Internet is a great place to do business, whether you’re a retailer selling a particular line of products or a service provider making your living on the Internet. There is, however, one age-old problem with business that never seems to go away: people won’t buy what they don’t know about.
This is where Internet marketing comes in.
Internet marketing basically involves using various tools and services to let your business reach a wider base of potential customers. Good Internet marketing will bring in a significant number of clients, keep them interested, and make them more than happy to purchase more of your products. A not-so-good Internet marketing program, however, will be a complete waste of time and money. In the worst-case scenario, you could even end up doing more harm than good to your business if the marketing strategy is poorly thought out.
Strangely enough, most people actually fail in their Internet marketing strategies not because they lack the knowledge or the technical capabilities to make good use of Internet Marketing.
SEO, HTML, opt-in lists, landing pages – all of this will not matter if the would-be marketer does not know how to succeed with the tools at their disposal.
Let me be clear: this article is not a technical manual on the finer points of Internet marketing: no tutorials, no tests, no benchmarks.
This article aims to supplement your technical know-how and give you an idea of what to do with your skill and knowledge. It will allow you to channel your efforts and create far-reaching plans. In short, this article will teach you how to be successful in your first year in Internet marketing.
The Mindset of a Successful Internet Marketer
A successful marketer needs a vision to be able to succeed.
No, I am not talking about some grand, messianic vision or something, and I am talking about a vision that will define where all the Internet marketing efforts will go.
This vision will allow you to focus your efforts on something more productive and truly succeed in Internet marketing. But before you can define your vision, you must first assume the mindset of a successful marketer. This mindset is, in turn, composed of different frames of thought. Here are some of the more important ones:
Honest and Sincere
The very first thing I have to tell you is that no truly successful Internet marketer is a sham and a fraud. The stereotype of the Internet marketer that sidelines as a ruthless vulture and snake-oil salesman are an image that is, sadly, more commonly adopted than I would like. But let me tell you that being a successful Internet marketer means being successful for the long run – and you cannot be successful in the long run if you start your career as a fraudster. The rewards from fraudulent sales or deceptive marketing strategies are immediate and
attractive, but you cannot build a marketing empire with foundations laid on lies and deception. An Internet marketer with a name built upon reliable business and customer satisfaction will yield more rewards in the long run than an anonymous ghost who has to change names now and then lest they face criminal charges.
