We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
When I became a music teacher, I thought I had learnedenough in college to be an expert in my profession.Was I in for a rude awakening. After a short stint Irealized what's more valuable in teaching is what theyfail to teach you in college - what you learn on yourown on the job. I had a brimful of musical information and skill toimpart, but most of it meant zilch until I learned toget along in the classroom. Many tools, tips, andtricks in dealing with school age children came to meafter trial and error. In home-based marketing, especially on the Internet,the same idea holds true. Take as many Internetcourses as you like. Visit as many sites as you wishto experience how others have succeeded. In the end,it's what actually happens to you as a result of yourown effort that's going to be of most value. Don't be afraid or ashamed to be perceived as a"newbie". We all start out as such, even if to somedegree more or less. Reach out now to someone who cantake you around the block - show what's worked forthem. You'll be glad you did. There's a lot to be gained from soaking in Internetcourses. And, yes, devour those ezine articles, scourthe newest ebooks available, and all the rest. Makethe most of it. Learn something every day. But above all, look for individuals who will take timeto support you. Let them be your mentors. Be theirmost eager students. Remember, too, that not everything to be gained on theInternet in a home-based business is free or easy. Toomany of us are desperate for quick sales when we setup our businesses. We're sick and tired of the 9 to 5grind and want instant profitability to rescue us fromour woes. Even the most attractive programs, ones that promisegenerous cash earnings, will take effort. Further,even the best plans will have to survive trial anderror. But what you learn from that will benefit youendlessly. To illustrate this point, let me show you whathappened in trying to promote my business on a freeweb site. Before we get into this, though, let meassure where I'm coming from. It's not to persuade youof the idea of paid domain names and site hosting asthe end-all, beat-all solution to success. There'smuch more to it than that. I've always been restricted by budgeting concerns.Could I have taken food off the table to pay forbusiness expenses that may or may not have earnedenough to pay for themselves? For reasons too detailedfor this article the answer in the beginning was "no".I'm sure most newcomers to this marketplace have thesame concerns. On the other hand, when I finally did register mydomain name, I soon began seeing more traffic on mysite. My domain host is not the most expensive one outthere, but what paying for a web site gives me is ashorter web address and less down time than with myfree hosting service. Where am I going with this, you ask? Here's where. Itwas the months of submitting to classifieds, free forall links pages, and search engines with very littlegain that finally convinced me. Even though I usedfunds from the family budget as a leisure expense ithas been worth it. I have made sales, and traffic isimproving. For you it may be a question of advertising money, ormore basically, time to invest online. Whatever theissue, it is the experimentation that pays off. Pleaselearn from activities that fall short of profit.That's the extra value of self-teaching. Don't be afraid to try and fail. Be more afraid of nottrying for lack of all the answers. After asufficient length of time in business - and I meanmonths to years, not overnight - your efforts shouldpay off. You will then be able to try and succeed. Article Tags: Home-based Marketing
