The Biggest Mistake of Online Marketers

The biggest mistake in online marketing

We’ve all heard about the person who thought that they were on the right road, only to realize, miles later, that they had taken a wrong turn.

I would like to tell you that that’s what happens to most online marketer’s. Oh, if only it were that simple.

Instead, the parable that most closely describes the average online marketer is not as simple as that. It’s more like someone who got on a wrong boat and not only did they get on the wrong boat but they were headed in the wrong direction.

No wait. It’s more like someone who picked the wrong destination for what they were looking for.

See, most marketer focus on the wrong thing entirely. And some of them don’t even know what they are looking for.

The end goal in online marketing is to make a profit. It’s not to get “likes” on facebook, it’s not to get number one on Google. It’s not even to have a great website. And it’s not even to make sales, because if you sell a product that cost more in advertising than you make in sales, then you haven’t made a profit.

Everything you do online has one goal in mind….the profit you make.

I’m not saying that ethics aren’t important. And I’m not suggesting that you shouldn’t pick an industry that can help people. But at the end of the day, you need to ask yourself…is this going to make me any real money?

If what you are doing online isn’t making you any money, then it could be that you are in the wrong industry selling the wrong product. Or, it could just be that you are marketing it all wrong.

In my internet marketing program, I show you how to make money. Yes, we have a game plan. And yes, the program is relational in nature, meaning you care about people and you don’t burn them.

But that’s not what my students are looking for…they are looking for how to make real money online.

And that’s exactly what you’ll learn.

Don’t Ever Quit

“I DON’T MUCH CARE FOR QUITTERS, SON”

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is strange with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow –
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victor’s cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out –
The silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It might be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit –
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

R.U. Darby was a gold miner who found a vein of gold that many had been looking for. For awhile things were great, but then, the vein hit a solid block of rock. R.U. Darby sold his equipment, convinced the vein had dried up.

The same man who bought the equipment from R.U. Darby got a great price on it. He had faith that there really was gold in that legendary vein, and he simply coudn’t shake the belief that it wasn’t all over for that sweet spot. Following his hunch, he hired an expert who was familiar with mining, and discovered the vein that Darby had left, was just three feet from a gush of gold.

R.U. Darby quit too early.

People define failure different ways. I personally believe that a successful person is someone who takes the next best step, even when the next step is not yet clear to them.
In my life, many things have happened that seemed to be “the end” as in, I will never, ever get over this one. And yet, in every situation, I would find, maybe decades later, that it was all working out for my good.
Some of you are going to make great marketing consultants. You’ve incurred so many blows of defeat, that you know what mistake NOT to make.
This is called experience, and may well be life’s greatest teacher.

So please, I beg you; even if you have tried this marketing stuff for years now, hang on; it takes time to get it all together, and no one really made it big over night (at least not that I have known).

One smart business man said this: My overnight success took me ten years.
(I like that)
You really don’t have to wait that long to be successful.

Here are a few tips:

Know your goal

This is so important. Now I’m just going to tell you like it is, right now, straight up: most of you had a dream that you let go of. And it was a whopper. The big one. The dream that is so outrageous, you would blush if anyone knew of it.
The Wright Brothers had a dream like this: they wanted to fly. Just in case you don’t know, the Wright Brothers were instrumental in creating the airplane.
I guess we can all imagine the scorn they endured on their first attempt.
Many of their creations failed.
Sure they were mocked, but I will bet you this: not one person who picked on them could honestly say that they hadn’t dreamed of flying.
Don’t you remember those dreams you had as a child? Everyone has them; they’re called the flying dreams. Maybe you flap your wings (arms) in the dream, trying to take off. Or maybe you focus, like Peter Pan, and you just start…flying!
Don’t those dreams seem so real?
Why do we all have them? Some people might say that within us is an inate urge to sail above our problems.
A metaphysical (um, careful there…) person might say that it’s just a matter of the mind.
Someone who has seen radical miracles might say that with faith ANY thing is possible, and that this dream is physically achievable.

But I want to talk about YOUR DREAM having wings right now. And I am flying high on faith right now, so let me just give you a set right now.

Your dream is a list away.

Yes.Yes. YES!.

Mountain moving Faith

All of us have heard the story about The Little Engine that Could. It’s a children’s classic about a small locomotive who volunteers to do a job that no one else will do. That is, to scale a mountain that deems itself too daunting for any of the other, more qualified trains.
Does this stop the little engine? No. He just keeps telling himself, “I think I can, I think I can,
On and on, he puffs this mantra and traverses the mountain.

Some of you are like this. Deep in your soul, you know that you were destined for greatness. You just know it. And it doesn’t matter that all the others are telling you it’s just too hard to rank number one on google. Or, pay per click never works. Or, the internet is too saturated. None of that phases you. Because, You have faith. Real faith. Mountain moving (climbing?) faith.
What causes faith like that? Would love to hear your comments below

“Internet Marketing Program”

When most people Google in “internet marketing program”, they are looking for a program that will teach them how to sell their product online.

And, they are looking to be successful.

If they have no money at all, they are looking for free information.

Dear reader, I so feel for you. Let me pull back the curtain and tell you what you are in for…..every time you sign up for free info, you are getting stuck on some marketer’s email list, who will most likely send you nothing but plug after plug, plea after plea, to buy his lame, info-less product.

He has no desire what so ever to tell you the truth or to see you succeed. He only wants your moolah.

Once he gets it, he will send you some marketing information, but never enough to complete the whole marketing puzzle. You may sense some truth to what he is saying, then spend a whole wad of cash, only to discover that he didn’t tell you enough to become successful at all, only enough to make you realize that you still need more marketing info.

I think it’s time for information marketers to drop the nonsense and start telling their people the truth.

Here it is: you are going to need a whole lot more than several $50 tutorials to pull you through the process. What you need is a real education. A system that is really a system; comprehensive, with your entire future in view.

One of the ironies of marketing education is, the newer you are, the more important it is to get a premium education. Think about it: if someone was illiterate, it would take more time and training in the beginning to teach them how to read, then it would to teach them how to teach themselves how to read even better. That’s because, once they had the fundamentals of reading down, they could understand how to read the next budget priced module.

In the beginning, you may not know enough to decipher that “who else wants to make a million dollars NOw!”internet marketing program, that tells you one tactic that worked for them. And they don’t bother telling you all of the fundamentals they had in place before they implemented that single “secret” (hmmph!) strategy of theirs.
It’s time that marketers start telling the truth!

It’s not enough to learn:

• Afilliate marketing
• email marketing
• website design
• search engine optimization
• conversion techniques…in and of themselves

All of these elements need to work together. To really succeed at this, you need to learn the guts, the essence, the innards of each of these and then, more importantly, you need to be systematically shown how all of these things work together.

That’s called integrated marketing and it’s the only way to really be successful online.

Everyone’s been lying to you. Learn the truth about internet marketing and make some money….for real.
