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

Over 18 months I spent close to $10,000 US on ebooks, internetmarketing courses, training materials, web hosting, domainforwarding, autoresponders, AD trackers, advertising costs -traffic exchanges, exit exchanges, search engines, pay-per-clickprograms, ezines - subscription fees, randomizers & doublers!I also lost money when a few programs that I was involved withwent under, including a payment processing company calledEzPayWay which disappeared owing me over $1400 in commissions.All the money that I did make online was ploughed back into yetmore programs & yet more opportunities. It was a vicious circle &I ended up getting deeper & deeper into debt. I was justfortunate that I had a good JOB to fall back on.At the end of those 18 months I took a break from everything todo with online businesses. I dropped my internet marketing'escapades' & focused on other ares in my life that I had beenneglecting - like my health & my relationships with my wife &other members of my family.After 6 months of mental & physical recuperation getting myselfback on track, I decided to give it one last try ...I got in touch with several of my key contacts & asked them whatthey were up to, what programs they were promoting & what theywere making money with on the 'Net.However, when I resumed my internet activities I changed a numberof things in my approach:1. Maintain FOCUSYou know, there's always going to be a newer program, a bettercompensation plan, a more professional website. I was no longergoing to run around promoting every single opportunity that camemy way.I was going to pick FOUR or FIVE of the best opportunitiesavailable & only promote established companies that were highlyrecommended & highly profitable.2. Promote businesses in line with my PERSONAL INTERESTSMy interests include Internet Marketing & Personal-Development.Surprisingly, one of the first companies that I ended upselecting for my come-back, was a company that I had promotedback in my early days, which involved both of my interests (Smile)The company is called EMPOWERISM & they specialise in InternetMarketing Training & Success Montoring. They've helped meimmensely with my own internet marketing efforts.3. Take MASSIVE ACTIONThe 'Net is like a large powerful & never-ending ocean. Myprevious efforts had been merely little pebbles tossed into deepwaters. They had no effect what-so-ever in the great scheme ofthings. To get results on the 'Net your website needs a greatamount of exposure amongst the Millions of other websites &programs.There are several ways of driving lots of TRAFFIC to yourwebsites like:Traffic ExchangesGetting listed in Search EnginesPay-Per-Click AdvertisingBanner ExchangesEmailing OPT-IN listsMarketing To Qualified LeadsEzine AdvertisingYou'll need to learn about all of these different ways ofgenerating traffic to your website.Personally, I advertise my website using all of the methodsabove. However, instead of trying to build up downlines in freeprograms, I PAY for the TRAFFIC that I require to promote mybusiness opportunities.Which brings me nicely on to my next point ...4. Diligent TRACKING of the the effectiveness of my advertising.Previously I was literally throwing money down the drain by NOTcarefully tracking the different types of advertising I wasspending my money on.When I did get sign-ups to programs or sales in affiliateprograms I was none the wiser as to where these sales came from &unable to clearly identify which mode of advertising wasattributable for the sales.I was like a sniper firing away in all directions without a scope tohome in on my targets !!5. Lastly, I added the HUMAN ELEMENT to my businessA lot of business might be conducted on the internet, but theinternet is merely a tool. The buying & selling of products,especially in network marketing, involves the personalrecommendation of services from one party to the next.This personal element had been missing from my business allalong.I had been emailing 1000s of FFA leads per day (BIG DOGS style),sending out emails to loads of Safelists, sending emails to 1000sof MLM Leads using autoresponders, but NOT ONCE over the courseof 18 months did I actually SPEAK to anyone.Sure, I made a few sales but they were far & few between. I alsocame close to trouble a few times as a result of SPAM complaints(I'll save that story for another time but it was the last time Iused FFA leads !!).Nowdays, I call up my prospects & try to establish a rapport withthem. I find out what they want out of life, what their interestsare & if I can help them. I tell them about my experiences, whatI've learnt trying to market various products online, how I'm abetter internet marketer now than ever before by doing what I'mtelling you now.And you know what??I enjoy waking up in the mornings, I make new friends everyday, Icall up interested prospects, I find out what they want, I helpthem get what they want, & now I get PAID all the time!The TELEPHONE is as much a tool for Internet Marketers than the'Net itself.So there you have it !!A simple internet marketing strategy that have served me well onmy return to Cyberspace.I hope that you find a few things here to help you improve yourinternet marketing strategy & ultimately, take you that one stepcloser to financial freedom.If you would like to go one step better then you can join thisfantastic opportunity at empowerism and I will personally trainyou to do everything mentioned above and more.http://www.coachofsuccess.comhttp://freetraffic.coachofsuccess.comhttp://marketing.coachofsuccess.com Article Tags: Internet Marketing
