6 Important Things You Should Know To Be Successful Online

There are a lot of websites and marketers online that are very good at persuading almost anyone that their opportunity is the best opportunity. That is what they do. Their products may not necessarily be good, but their sales pages and marketing techniques are very well polished. 

That's not to say all Opportunities, Products and Services online are bad, but you do need to be on guard and learn how to protect yourself from throwing precious time and money away...

I'm  also an internet marketer, a webmaster, and I've tried some few businesses over the years in some industries.  I've sold services, some physical  and digital products on and offline. So I can easily know the difference between a good product or service and a bad product or service. 

There are a lot of Scams or fake Products online that will trick you into purchasing a product that is substandard, by luring you with many of their techniques. 

 
Over the years I've been online, I've tried some things and believe it or not, many fell way short of what was promised...

You will find a lot of hype that success online is easy.  Marketers will lead you to believe that within a short period of time you can get rich. 

 
I have news for you...  That's may not necessarily happen!  You could get lucky, but the odds are  usually against you most times.
 

 Alright, alright...  I'll come clean.  There are ways to speed up the process. There are many things you can do to get there faster.  I will touch some of these things throughout this blog.

 You see much of the hype out there and the reason so called "gurus" get so much attention is they promise you riches beyond your wildest imaginations if you follow their methods and techniques... 

Unfortunately, they don't tell you how they got to where they are... They fail to mention it didn't happen overnight for them either.  They had to work their tail ends off to get where they are.  Work, sweat and tears...

1.  First you must learn.  You must understand the internet business, learn how to market products online, and avoid the pitfalls. Read and absorb as much information as you can via eBooks, eZines, News sites, and Forums. After that...  you continue to learn.  

If you are going to have an online business, you will always need to be in a continuous state of learning if you expect to survive long term.

 
2.  You have to find a product or service that is in demand.  You need to do your research to maximize your chances of succeeding.  OR you find ways to make money without a product or service...

 
3.  You have to have a definite plan of action.  Just like any business offline, you need a business plan.

This will give you the ability to make better decisions and will enable you to move forward with more confidence. 

The business plan will change over time...  it will be fluid...  but it is an important tool to find success online. Without it you will blindly move through the online experience and probably find frustration and failure long before success.

 
4.    Time:  You can't expect things to happen overnight.  Unless you are buying into a business, you will be starting from scratch.  It will take a while for your marketing efforts to take hold. Don't listen to the hype.  This is a business.  It is built just like any other business.  One brick at a time...

 
5.    Money:  You also need to invest in your product... depending on what that is.  There are ways to provide products without up front costs to warehouse them.  

We'll get into that later. If you have a service, it may be that you just need to invest in a website, and you need to invest in some products to use in your business or eBooks and other informational products to learn the things you need to know to succeed.

 
6.    Be prepared to fall.  You will make mistakes, struggle, and maybe even have a bad week.  This is a long term commitment. Learn your lessons, do as much preparation up front as you can, roll with the punches, and you will succeed. I am your defense... I find and review some opportunities online. 

 Although very small percentage get my endorsement; there are a many great products, services and opportunities on the net that are good...  I can't highlight them all. But, I'm confident after you've read this post you will be equipped to make better decisions and not fall for the bad opportunities out there...

 If you are serious about making money on the internet, you've found the right place to get you started. We are different. That's a major idea I want to get across to you.  We are all different.  Not every opportunity is for everybody. 

The people selling the opportunities will never ask if it is the right one for you.  They just want your money.....hehe... This blog is also meant to provide an overview of what's out there, to give you background tips and the tools necessary to capture your online success. Have a wonderful time.
