How Do You Define Success Online?

Many people have selective hearing. That is, they hear only what they are listening to or They hear only what they want to hear and ignore what may sound unsuitable to their hearing.

When such people tune in to the notion of getting rich on the Web, they can't seem to hear anything else. They are deaf to the news of dot-com failures in mass. Deaf to the certain doom that lies at the end of any path claimed to be quick or easy.

And deaf to any mention of how tough it is to succeed in business anywhere, online or offline.

If you have fallen into this trap, there are only two options. Continue on your chosen path and fail. Or redefine what success means to you, then begin working to achieve it.

If you want to succeed on the Web, you must first come to grips with what you mean by success.

Each site is well focused.

Each site is loaded with content.

You will probably note ways in which each site can be improved. But this is true of any site, large or small. And it's true of yours. And mine

The significance of targeted marketing can not be overstated.
 It's crucial to have a narrow niche in which you can position yourself powerfully.
 When you know with whom you want to work, you have come a long way toward achieving this objective.

So build a site, even without a product. It can work very well, for there's lots and lots to learn. You may decide or Consider beginning only with a newsletter. As you interact with your target, they will begin to respond. All the while you continue to seek to define something these people need they do not have. Preferably a need for a product not available. 

Better yet, one you can create. Whatever, when you do find a need that remains unfulfilled, you will be in a great position to satisfy it. The beauty in this approach has many facets, but the best is in the difficult decision regards a product to sell.

 If what you choose what works, add related products and you are on your way. But if it does not work, scrap it with confidence.  You have not lost your audience. You still have a clear focus on your target.  All that's required is to find a better or more appropriate product.  

Have a wonderful day.
