The main objective of any marketing effort is to
get as many people as possible to your site. Whether your objectives is
to gain optins to your list or a movie view or a contact form. If nobody
coming to your site I can guarantee you that you will not make any
sales.
Before we go into all the different ways you can
drive traffic to your site you must first determine what your monthly
marketing (advertising) budget will be, and you must make a commitment
to stick to that budget for the next 6 -12 months.
Your monthly budget should be roughly 20% of what you want to make every
month. So if you are starting part time and would like to earn $2,000
more per month from your business, then as a rule of thumb you will need
to spend about $400 per month marketing to your site. If you are doing
this full time and are looking to start out earning $10,000 per month.,
then you will need to spend about $2,000 per month marketing your site.
(Note: there are no guarantees, this is the model that I use and have
used over the course of time. Results vary.)
Positioning in the compensation plan and the size of your team will also
determine how much you may need to spend on marketing to reach your
income goals. Once your team starts to grow you will start to receive
training sales which will come to you with no additional marketing
efforts on your part (Depending on comp plan).
Get started now by putting together your marketing
plan. As with goals, you should review your plan frequently and stay
focused on your objectives.
You CAN make a living online, however it takes 4
components:
- Specialized Knowledge and Tools
- Goals
- Persistent Action
- Commitment Excellence
This manual takes care of the first 2 steps:
‘Specialized Knowledge and Tools’; as well as ‘Goals’. Now it’s up to
you to continue on with the last 2 steps: ‘Persistent Action’, and a
‘Commitment to Excellence’!
Focused Persistent Planned Action!
With everything you have learned in this manual,
don’t forget to create your action plan with the mindset of FOCUSED
PERSISTENT ACTION towards your goals. ‘Plan your work, and then work
your plan’. Start out with baby steps at first, then work your way up to
larger strides. Everyone starts somewhere!
The single most characteristic that is DIRECTLY
related to success is Persistence. The ability to continue moving
forward regardless of the obstacles placed in front of you is the
essence of the characteristic of Persistence.
Every person has a limit to how much resistance they
could handle before giving up, and the main difference between the
successful and the unsuccessful is the amount of resistance that a
person is willing to endure.
If Persistence is the number one action taken towards
extreme success, the unfortunate action of giving up too quickly is the
number one reason for dramatic failure. For example, imagine yourself
taking part in a long-distance run in your city. At the very first sign
of fatigue, you have 2 simple decisions:
1) You give up and stop now.
OR
If you chose the first decision…..well, there’s not
much to be said about this first decision. If you did not finish the
race, then unfortunately you have to chalk this one up as a failure.
However, if you chose the second decision, your
chances for success just dramatically increased.
As I mentioned several times previously, here is your
success formula:
MA=MR
MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE RESULTS
Strive for Excellence! (Why not?)
The final step is to strive to do what you do
extremely WELL. If you are going invest the time and effort taking
action towards your goals, you might as well try to be good at what you
do. Heck, why not become an expert at it also? When a person stands out
in the crowd as well-known ‘expert’, AMAZING things happen in their
lives!
Being able to excel at something is usually due to
either progressive repetition, or pure talent. When a person starts to
succeed in their online business, they notices that if all they did was
focus on the characteristic of Excellence, they would succeed
indefinitely.
For example, whenever they found themselves having
some down time:
Waiting in line, waiting for the movie to start, commercial breaks on
TV, etc. they would simply review the most IMPORTANT facets of targeted
traffic generation that they have recently learned.
This tiny act would literally take only 20 seconds,
but it helped them TREMENDOUSLY.
When your brain and mind gets exposed to positive
messages repetitively, eventually the message sinks in. You want to have
this ‘Excellence Mindset’ in all that you do. You want to be able to be
able to excel and succeed in all the tasks of a successful person.
Do NOT overwhelm yourself with research!
As I mentioned before, my team and I have noticed
such a tremendous amount of information online today – sometimes you may
become overwhelmed.
That’s why it’s imperative that you utilize the
heavily researched resources that you learned about in this manual,
believe me these resources will save you years of frustration.
New internet marketers do not seem to ‘get it’ when
it comes to traffic generation. What this means, is that a new internet
marketer usually assumes that ‘if you build it, they will come’ (taken
from one of the classic movies of the century!)
This can not be more further from the truth. Just
because you have a website to promote does NOT mean that the website
will even be visited. Heck, unless you utilize these techniques, YOU may
be the only person that ever visits your site!
However, I KNOW that when you use the information and
resources that I compiled for you here, YOU will not be one of these
‘rookie’ internet marketers with zero traffic!
THAT’S why it is such a TREMENDOUS accomplishment for
you to have finished reading this manual. Of course, as I mentioned
earlier, the biggest mistake you could make as an internet marketer is
to let this information just sit there collecting dust.
As mentioned earlier:
MASSIVE ACTION = MASSIVE RESULTS
Heck, even a LITTLE action equals results. Here’s
another adage to take you to success:
PLAN YOUR WORK, THEN WORK YOUR PLAN
See, this manual already serves as the ‘Plan’ that’s
necessary. Now the question becomes, are you going to ‘Work’ this plan?
When all else fails, AT LEAST follow the Success
Checklist as closely as you can, I know I STILL do! Take the Action
Steps seriously and do what you can to actually accomplish those steps!
This not the end, but the beginning!
WHEN YOU INCREASE YOUR TARGETED TRAFFIC, YOU
WILL INCREASE YOUR SALES…
….WHEN YOU INCREASE YOUR SALES, YOU WILL
IMPROVE YOUR LIFE!
