Make no mistake, just like with anything else, there are many more ways to fail than to succeed. That’s just the nature of the business honestly. It’s MUCH easier to fail than it will ever be to succeed because most people don’t talk about what’s REALLY important before you get started…and that’s ROI and traffic.
Two things you need to pay a lot of attention to in the early phases of your Online Business are: Getting Traffic to your website and ROI (Return on Investment). Try to think of traffic as the entire business…it’s ALWAYS about getting traffic because the more traffic you have the more likely you are to succeed. Make no mistake here, ROI and traffic should go hand in hand. If you aren’t watching your ROI on techniques you are using to generate traffic, it’s easy to fall behind and lose money.
Below I’ll explain 3 steps to Making Money that you’ll need before getting started…
Step #1 – Plan to measure ROI at LEAST 1 time/ day. If you are promoting a program, even if it’s your own, it can get REALLY easy to generate 1 sale and become excited. Infact, it’s happened to me many times. I’ll try a new technique and when I see 1 sale I don’t check again for a few days and when I do come back I’ve often still only had 1 sale…but it’s cost me much more for the traffic than I’d be receiving back. So check the statistics, analytics, and all other data you have access too routinely to ensure you are on top of the “trends” and know what to expect.
Step #2 – Create a Start to Finish Action plan. This might sound beginner, but this is what ALL of the big experts do. Anytime I’ve started a program, with the intention of making money, I’ve set out a defined list of objectives and action items that would lead me to ultimate success…or at least my best guess. If you don’t have a plan, you’ll often get lost in the mix or sometimes forget where you’re at which can cost you time and a lot of money.
Step #3 – Rinse and Repeat, without the Rinse… This is actually a pretty cool idea because most marketers will tell you to “Rinse and Repeat” whenever something goes wrong. Well, I believe in what Thomas Jefferson once said when asked about the 1,000+ ways he failed to create the lightbulb… “I didn’t fail, I figured out 1,000+ ways NOT to create a lightbulb”. We should treat our internet marketing and online business the same way and not look at failures as failures…but instead as progress towards discovering what works. Once you figure out what works, repeat repeat and repeat!
Making a full time living online is actually really easy, you just need the right instruction and the correct tools. If you had to start from scratch and build a website, learn traffic techniques, build JV relationships, and everything else you’ll need to do get make 6-figures it might take you 3-4 full time 40 hour weeks. If you ask me, that’s still better than working at a job for years hoping for a $5,000/ year raise right? Stay confident in yourself, and don’t get down if you fail, or if things are slower than you wish they’d be.
