The Road To Success Online Is Built On Persistence

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The phrase 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." -  Calvin Coolidge

The Road to Success is Built on Persistence Are you persistent?  You better be.  It’s the only way you will find your way to the top. Anyone you see succeeding online (or offline for that matter) is there only because they kept on keeping on. 

The most successful people in the world have tripped and fallen on many occasions. Millionaires are born out of trial and error.  Persistence has no guaranteed time line.

 It assumes its own course. There are no rules or statistics that can predict the results of any venture… but through persistence we can tilt the odds in our favor.

The internet is filled with promises of quick riches. Somewhere along the line society has convinced us that you can become rich overnight; we fall for this over and over again.

You can become an overnight success, but you probably won’t.  You will more likely become successful with a long term, persistent effort.

These quick rich promises are simply empty. The only ones getting rich are the ones making these promises… you won’t.

I say this again and again to my partners online.  This is a business.  Unfortunately many people that come online to seek their fortunes don’t have a business background and are easily lured into a scam or scheme.

 They don’t know what to look for and can’t recognize the signs of unrealistic promises. The first thing a person needs to do if they decide to pursue something online is to do their homework. Know your playing field (World Wide Web), no the rules of the game, and become familiar with the other players.

Their motives are not always just. The internet is laced with fraudulent activities, scam artists and bad business practices. There are legitimate businesses and opportunities online.  The internet is growing at an unbelievable pace.

  Millions of people are online everyday looking for goods and services. There is room for you.  But you must find the right opportunity and find your niche.

I developed this blog for those looking for opportunity. I’ve been online for a long time and have spent hours and some dollars pursuing opportunities, researching and building a business on the internet.

It will take you step by step through real opportunity online and lead you away from the Scams, Schemes and Bad Ideas.

Develop a plan based on thorough research. Develop a business plan.  It doesn’t have to be complex, but lay out the foundation first.

The stronger your foundation, the better your chances are of building a solid business structure. Once you’ve built your foundation and created a business plan, you are now better prepared to go out and find real opportunity.

You should have a better understanding for how the online game works. After you've found your opportunity and designed a plan to capture it, you must employ persistent. But remember, you can only be persistent if your cause is right and just.

If you are trying to pursue a scam or bad idea, you can be the most persistent person in the world and you will never achieve anything. So find your opportunity.  Research and develop it.  And then pursue it. 

Pursue it with persistence.  You are going to fall once and a while. You may even lose money before you make money.  Calculate your tolerance for risk!

It might take time before you start making any real money depending on the venture. It all depends on your skills, your background, and the opportunity.  But you can succeed with persistence.

Persistence is a very important key to online success. Good Luck in All Your Endeavors!

4 Most Effective Tips To Succeed Online With The Right Opportunity

There are a lot of factors involved in succeeding online.  It all depends on your chosen path. It all depends on your unique skills, experience, knowledge and talents. There are some things you can do that will increase your chances in any give opportunity. Continuing Education:  If you decide to pursue a business online, you must understand the consequences.
The only way you are going to make it long term, is to build a habit that will serve as a guarantee against “being left behind or missing the boat”. You must continuously learn. Always be reading e-Books, articles, Watch Videos and news related to your efforts. Hang out in forums, ask questions, and stay tuned to what’s happening in the online community. This is so important.  Understand, you could have received a Masters in some tech area 10 years ago and much of that knowledge maybe useless today if not updated.

If you decide to pursue an opportunity online, you must except that you are in a technological environment.
 Just like anyone in an electronic, computer, or programming field you must always stay on top of the technology (or more specifically, information). Marketing alone, changes all the time. New ways of doing things are born and old ways die daily.
It is also important to stay educated to avoid doing the wrong things. If you don’t have your smarts, someone will lead you in the wrong direction and it will ultimately destroy or cripple your business.
1. Spread the risk:  You can choose one opportunity, but build a structure around that opportunity that will support the change of seasons.  Market your product, service or website using several different methods to secure your long term objectives. For instance, don’t only focus on Search Engines Optimization (SEO) or Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising.  Search Engines change their methods continuously. You could be ranked on the first page of the search results one day and be out of sight the next.  It’s a guessing game.
Pay Per Click is similar.  PPC is actually rather new and something could come along to replace it.  It doesn’t take long for the flock to change directions; only a few sheep need to start…
You can also pursue more than one opportunity.  You can sell digital products and physical products.  At the same time intertwine affiliate programs. Do not take this as me saying not to focus your efforts into a niche. You don’t want to be to spread out.  I’m just saying not to put “all those eggs in one basket”. Of course you don’t want to have too many baskets; don’t neglect the good eggs by having too many to keep track of. Stay Organized:  Organize your time and activities.  Focus on the things that are going to make you money.
Too many people get caught up in the details. Instead of goofing around and fine tuning your site endlessly, do the things that will ultimately generate income.
You want to be spending a good amount of time marketing your product or services. Spend your time creating content for your websites, writing articles, and propagating Inbound Links (IBLs).
2. Create alliances and joint ventures with others.
Organize your week.  For an example:  You’re going to spend Monday going over numbers, stats, and planning.  Tuesday is for writing articles.
Wednesday you work on your website (SEO).  Etc., Etc., You can break each day, or each month down.
Build a system and stick to it.  Don’t get caught in the trap of hanging out in some forum. It may be a way to generate some income, but you can get so rapped up you stop doing other things that will make you more money in the long run.
Also organize your life, your office, your paper, your computer…. Pick up a copy of “Getting Things Done” by David Allen.  You’ll learn a lot about how to get your life organized.
Expect to Slip and Fall:   Its part of your plan.  When something goes wrong, embrace it!
This is how we learn.  Everyone goes through this learning curve.
There are a lot of things that are going to happen before you are going to succeed.
In sales there is a certain thing understood:  It will take “X” amount of “No’s” to get to a “Yes”.
You expect and welcome the “No’s”, because you know it brings you closer to the “Yes”.  It’s a numbers game.
Many people get frustrated when their first website fails.
They a read a book and it doesn’t change their lives like it was supposed to. 
Understand that the opportunities are the same for everyone, but they don’t work for everyone.
You have to find YOUR opportunity.  It will, however, take some time to get your arms around it.
You will, most likely, slip sometimes.  You may fall and have to start over.
But now you have that experience so build on it!

3. BUILD ON YOUR EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE.
Become a business person:  You don’t need a college degree.  You can educate yourself.
 There are thousands upon thousands of books you can read.  Go to your local library and read them for FREE. A well rounded person online must have some business skill or knowledge.  You must understand how business works. This is a business. You must understand how it operates, the risk factor, and have a business plan.
Again, you don’t need a college degree. But make it a habit to read books related to your field and business.  It will sink in over time.
Combined with the experience you are getting you will grow into an online expert. You don’t need to have a business background to succeed online, but make it a part of your future focus.

4. Set time aside. It won’t hurt.
In Conclusion:  Many people on the internet will give you the illusion that their opportunity is all you need. It’s not to say their opportunity is bad, they just are selling it. You need to come in knowing how to use it and integrate it into your business. There is more to it, but these things I highlighted are often overlooked. As more and more people come online each day looking for opportunities, it is necessary for them to be lead in a direction that will benefit them not bring them down. One failed opportunity can discourage anyone.  But if you are prepared for that result and expect it… embrace it even.Your chances of success dramatically increase! Good Luck in All Your Endeavors,
