What it takes to be successful as an Internet Marketer

Have you ever asked yourself why have I not made the big bucks in direct sales, internet marketing, MLM, or anything else along those lines? I have! It's called introspection. Looking within one's own inner most attitudes, desires, emotions, to seek out the why you do what you do. I've struggled in the past to achieve the results I wanted. But, since understanding who I am, and why I do what I do, and having a clear understanding of what I need out of me to achieve, things are really changing. My results in growth of personal commitment, and strategic vision is crystal clear. My other life long goal to stay healthy has found renewed vigor through nutritional changes, and doing healty things for me that I have ignored for years. You cannot cause yourself to change unless you have a great reason "Why" you need to change, and finding a solution that will help you to achieve that "Why." I've gone on a nutritional supplement program called IsaGenix because my "Why" is twofold. It first of all provides the nutrition that I ignored the need for in my body over the years, and secondly will fulfill one of my other objectives for multiple streams of income. It may not be right for everyone, but it is right for me. I'm actually documenting my progress and journey in changing my health through my Facebook page called My IsaGenix Story. If you're interested in following along just to see what happens, by all means join me and see the change. Go to My IsaGenix Story through this link. What I encourage you to do most though, is do something for yourself today. Learn something new, something exciting, and take a step forward to make your life better. I believe in the proverb "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime."

Internet Marketing Multiple Streams of Income

A question that I really like to ask is "If you are laid off from your current job would you be able to continue to live the same lifestyle?" Most people would probably say something like, "for awhile, I've got a little bit of money saved that will see me through." Then I ask. Well how long will that money hold you? They will then tell me, "maybe 4 or 5 months tops." Friends what will you do in that 6th month on? Unemployment will not pay enough in most states, and then it also has time limits on eligibility that will expire. It also is dependent on the Congress to extend benefits if it is prolonged recessionary period. Or during an Election Year which ever comes first.
My point here is simple. Why do you depend on a job to secure your future, and to make sure your family is provided for? With the simple concept of multiple streams of income you don't have to worry about being laid off or having your lifestyle change. All you need to do is learn how to find the right opportunities, and learn a skill that is not taught in our schools. How to make money through marketing your own business. And not just one, but more than one business, hence MULTIPLE incomes. Our schools ill prepare students for the real world. They give them everything except how to make a living. They teach them to get a job, but we all know JOB's aren't secure, and LAYOFF's happen even to the best of people. If you learn anything in life, learn to internet market. If you do you will learn to sell anything to anyone, in any economic condition, and you will have the security that you so richly deserve. There are many choices of business opportunities on the internet, but do your due diligence and check them out before you lay down your bucks to join. But I would definitely look into internet marketing training first, and from someone who know what they are talking about, and can demonstrate their expertise. Someone who will support you well, and provide the tools to succeed. There are good companies, and then there are the others. If you would like to know more about internet marketing, then go to Multiple Streams of income and take the next step to financial freedom.

Internet Marketing Secrets

So you want to become "one of them"? An Internet Marketer. Just mentioning the fact that you are an internet marketer will send people running for the hills in fear that you are going to try to sell them something. So how do you overcome that obstacle and become a successful internet marketer? It's all about the company, and what they teach. Let me give you the 10 best Internet marketing secrets.
1. Have to have a Marketing Plan. If you don't have a plan how will you measure your successes?
2. Develop Trust and Relationships. People don't buy unless you have a relationship built on the foundation of trust.
3. Value and Service. You have to have something that is valuable to offer to your target market. And once they see the value, you better be able to deliver world class service as value added to offer.
4. Brand. Brand yourself. Because in the end it is YouInc. that they are buying.
5. Automation and Technology. You must have tools to automate some of the more mundane, time consuming tasks, and the technology has to work first time every time.
6. Remove the Sales Trap. Most people are not salesmen. Closing the sale does not come easy for most of us. Solution, have a support staff of professionals that can do it for you. Part of your funnel.
7. Passive Income potential. Help others get what they want, and you will get what you want. Multiplied time after time it will keep returning your income.
8. Training and Education. The internet is constantly changing, marketing techniques change constantly. What worked today may not work tomorrow, so you constantly must be trained and educated as conditions change. Change is good.
9. Teamwork and Community. If you are in a company where the top leaders do not share their "secrets" and use teamwork to help you succeed, you are in the wrong company. It should be a strong group based on strength of the "Community." Lifting each other up, and sharing the success.
10. Real Results. This is the keystone. The anchor to the secret. No hype, no fabrication of claims, just honest to goodness real results. It must be open, honest and transparent at all levels of the community.

Find a company that supports all ten of these internet marketing secrets, and you can't help but be successful.

Network Marketing Education

Network marketing education is one of the least understood things network marketers need to become successful. As I browse the internet looking at the various network marketers, I see claims of fabulous wealth, claims that they have the answers, claims, claims, claims!! Folks let me tell you, I have tried so many of those claims, following their "advice" and only came away with an empty wallet. I've seen the trends in marketing come and go, and when I see something new I am VERY skeptical. I came from the Information Technology industry in 2001, and have been self employed ever since. If you mention something I can probably say, "been there, done that" in an attempt to re-engineer my life to achieve a lifestyle meeting my very strict standards. I struggled, I had missteps, I had failures, that is until I discovered what had been missing. EDUCATION and SUPPORT I'm telling you that without those two things in the internet marketing business you are going to struggle, make mistakes, and spend money until you are broke again. I actually was the senior network engineer for an ISP and thought I understood what it took to become successful on the internet. I spent 20 plus years in the industry, and didn't think anyone could teach me anything new or show me something I didn't already know. But, ya know something? I was wrong!! There is plenty of stuff about this internet marketing that I didn't know. But all that is changing, and I have already seen some really fantastic results due to network marketing education. I am learning things, and have opened my mind up to potentially new concepts, and techniques that really do get results. So don't despair my friends, there is an answer to your life long dreams of independence, and self fulfillment. Just gotta find the right educational tools to get where you want to be. If you want to know more, just follow the link provided, and maybe you too can find that dream.
