How to get off the wheel of internet marketing

Reader, did you ever post on article on your blog, and get a gazillion likes, but no sales? Or maybe you got some followers on Facebook, but none of them were your target market, meaning, no moolah came from your fame.
One of the hardest things to let go of in internet marketing is the dynamic of being a slave to “the rules”.
Here they are:
“If I just get enough likes, people will like my product”
The truth: people may be “liking” your post, because they are your competition, and they are hoping others will click on their thumbnail.
“If enough people comment on my article, it will show my readers that I’m legit”
Well, it might, unless your readers are primarily your competition, scoping out your site to see what is different from theirs before they leave a comment with a link to their site.
See, a lot (read: most) of thes suppossed rules are outdated or over-rated. They may work at getting you noticed, but not necessarily from customers.
Okay, we’ve talked about what doesn’t work, but what does work…as in, attracting buying customers.
Well, the first thing to do is to detox completely from everything, and I do mean ever y thing that you’ve been doing.
like, posting on facebook everyday and building back links.
The truth is, most of you are working WAY to hard at what you’re doing, essentially pushing rocks uphill all day.
When you do that, it’s no longer being an innovator, and entrepreneur or a thought leader. See, when you follow these cookie cutter templates, roadmaps to success and supposed rules, your just working a job, punching a time clock of mindless tasks—which may be what your were actually getting out of when you began this insternet marketing deal.
If you are tired of being a slave to your computer, then listen to some fresh wisdom on Internet marketing.
The first most important thing for a blog
Passion
The second most important thing for a blog to be successful
Passion
The third most important thing for a blog to get noticed, read, and adored:
Passion
What is your blog probably lacking?
Well, probably passion. Unless, you love what you blog about.
Reader, tell me something…do you love what you blog about?
Do you wake up in the morning excited about blogging, or do you dread it?
Do you blog because you want to…I mean, you really really want to? Or do you blog because everyone else is, and someone told you that you, or your business, need to?
It’s time to get the passion back into your blog.
Listen, I know what it’s like to wake up in the morning and feel “bleck” when it comes to blogging. But it doesn’t need to be that way.
You just need a support system. An ally. Someone in the trenches with you.

Are you tired of surface scum in your inbox?
Get some blogging meat here:
Reader, how many times have you looked at some marketing strategy that seemed to be making everyone else rich, but it made you uncomfortable?
Maybe it was the way that their ad had these huge red screaming letters shouting at you, or dollar bills blowing on the screen; and it just seemed… forced; cheesy; shady…
Did it feel right? because if it didn’t, that was your gut telling you, “beware”.
When you search around the net looking for a way to succeed online, you are going to find a bunch of people telling you that they did this, this and this and they were rich.
They are lying. Believe me.
Because, now think about it…if all they had to do was, that that and that, do you really think that they would be selling the “how to” of it for such a low price?

24 Reasons Why you need a review of your product or business
We all do it.
But why? Why do we put off doing what we know we need to do?
Let’s cover the “why” and then the “how”.
Let’s face it, sometimes a task is so gross, so gnarly, so time-consuming or so entirely complicated, that it just cramps our brain even to think about it. This is one of the reasons why some people shove the task to the back side of their brain…it’s just too painful to think about.
Yea, I think we’ve all been at this place. Overload is a key reason for putting things off, even when we know it’s important.
“Why do today what can be done tomorrow?”
Many procrastinators think this way. Unless their backside is in flames, they prefer to wait….and wait…and wait. The good news is, many of these midnight hour, crunch-time types actually work better under pressure (which is not very comforting to more rigid-personality type planners, but it works for them).
Some people who are accused of procrastinating are not actually procrastinators. It’s just that, they have no intention of ever doing the task. But somehow, they know that society expects them to
Go back to school
Lose 10-pounds or even
Clean that top shelf
So to make people empathize with them, they join the ranks of “someday I’m going to” stop smoking, get rid of this old piece of furniture, or…whatever it may be. Probably, they are not bothered all that much with their habit, weight, or less than perfect lifestyle. But it makes them fit in to complain with the others and set resolutions they have no intention of reaching…or even trying to.
Reason number four:
We’ve all heard the story of the kid that misbehaves because they are being neglected by Mom and Dad. In relationships, some adults do this, because if their partner never had a complaint, they’d both never talk to one another.
This is not to say that the task is something that they dislike, or even that it is something that they wouldn’t cheerfully do, if weren’t for…the grudge. Yes that’s right, many heel-draggers consciously or subconsciously put off a task that they really don’t mind working on, just because they resent being told that they must do it. Sometimes the request is a reasonable one, but the person asked to do it, doesn’t think it’s fair. Or sometimes, the reason that the procrastinator won’t do the task, has nothing to do with resenting the task, but with driving the other person crazy….because of a long standing grudge that they have toward that person. That’s called Passive Aggression, and you can learn more about that here
