Consistency Wins At Internet Marketing

Consistency is the name of the game is you want to win at the game of creating a income online from the comfort of our own home.  One of my biggest obstacles starting out was staying consistent at one marketing strategy. See I never really stayed involved with just one or two things. I was constantly moving around. A little youtube and video here, some blog writing every once in a while, spamming my facebook friends, sending out a tweet here and there. This is what I was doing and I just wasn't cutting the big checks. Everyone talks about all the traffic by doing these things but yet I was doing them all and just getting a trickle of traffic to my offers and going days without getting any sign ups to my free offers. I mean what the heck was going on, you ever feel that in your marketing?  I felt like I was a master at all these different strategies but yet my income was telling me different.

Consistency With Internet Marketing What I learned was to be consistent at the consistency game. That involved developing the discipline to stick with just one or two methods.  I did this by writing myself down a plan the night before on what I wanted to do for my online marketing business. My money making activities.  That was the easy part. The hard part was having the discipline to do this stuff everyday. The first thing I would do was log into my email and check my email. That was mistake number 1 for me.  My second mistake was consistency checking my statistics and hoping to see some money in the account.  I mean that was the big goal you know to make money but I was focused on the end results and not doing the steps that were going to get me there.

  • Write yourself down a set of goals for your particular project. Example: I want to make 5,000 dollars per month by the end of such and such
  • You then need to write down daily steps that you are going to take to reach that goal
  • Develop the discipline to do your daily activities and do not get side tracked.
  • Work on yourself each and everyday to become a better person and better at your business.
Now winning the Internet Marketing game with consistency should be applied to both free and paid traffic.  The misconception is that with paid traffic you will make money faster. Well yes but what is left out and nobody tells you is that you can't just create and launch a campaign and expect to win right out of the gate.  You need to everyday go into this paid traffic source and work on improving it.  This might be with different copyright, keyword or urls. If you are doing banner advertising you need to research your sites first and even then it could be a hit or miss. Understanding that you will go through a little money testing and optimizing until you can get a ROI or return on your investment.

With the free methods you need to understand that with these it's going to take a little longer. Especially if you are using sources like facebook. Somebody like facebook who is a social networking sites you really don't want to sound like a boring sales person but provide value and build trust by just being yourself and share what it is you have learned. People will follow if you provide good content. Again its being consistent and applying this on a daily basis and even sometime 2 or 3 times a day. With anything in life it will take a bit of time to become really efficient at it. The alternative is to just punch in at the clock and be told what to do. For some that is an easier way and they are comfortable with their current lifestyle.  Here's a tip for you that I learned. To be successful I needed to learn to be uncomfortable. Its only when we are uncomfortable that we are truly growing.

I have been online for over 4 years now and this industry has changed my life. I love who I associate with and how my mind has grown because of this. One of the persons reasonable I wrote another blog post about.  Pure Leverage Opportunity
