Now simple things that should have been clear to anyone wanting to start their own business begin popping out at him left and right.
*You MUST sell items of value, not just
dream of riches. *You HAVE to create your own Internet presence and differentiate yourself among all
others blindly promoting
same things. *You NEED to build a solid reputation and as many working relationships with others as possible. *You MUST promote continually and consistently, not hit and miss. *You WILL NOT succeed in competition with 2 million other affiliates by using
same promotion methods, ads, and sites. *You NEED a unique product or service of your own, or a unique presentation of other's products or services. *You HAVE to promote using methods that actually get your ad in front of real people that are engaged in actual reading.
And most importantly...
*You MUST realize it will take WORK and will not happen instantly.
STAGE 7 -- Ok, But Now I How Do I Do It?
It's one thing to realize what needs done, but quite another to actually accomplish it. This is where it gets difficult as well because
answers are different for everyone. A good writer can promote through submitting his articles around, but not everyone is a good writer. Someone who learns and is persistent can work
search engines, but others may become too easily frustrated with
system. If investing money is not a problem, I.M. can hire
services of other professionals or buy needed software, however, for many that's not feasible.
I.M now has to answer certain questions for himself.
What product or service will be my main focus? What other affiliate programs can I correlate to my main product or service to use as secondary income streams? What promotion methods am I interested in and comfortable doing? How much do I have to invest? How much time do I have to invest?
>From here, I.M. finds
best sources of continual education for himself and constructs a legitimate business plan for
first time. He sets goals, identifies
way he wants to proceed and begins.
STAGE 8 -- Slow But Steady
I.M. gets his plan underway and proceeds. It takes time, but his business relationships start to grow, he learns more, he gets things running as planned, and slowly but steadily he starts to see his income rise. Naturally, there are problems and setbacks, but I.M. now knows what he needs to do so it's simply a matter of getting things done and giving them time to bear fruit.
STAGE 9 -- Continuing
Even at this stage I.M. may decide to quit, it's happened before. There are no guaranteed results, no sure-fire methods that always work, and no reason that I.M. may not just up and change his mind as to what he wants to do.
It takes effort to continue and keep your business growing. You will continually have to learn and adjust to your market, and it will take continual promotion.
Determination is an easily disgruntled human trait. However, if you can keep it alive and continue to work, THEN and only then is
potential of building a sizeable income and even a lifetime residual income a real possibility.
These stages are not absolute, nor does everyone move smoothly from one to
next, nor does everyone go through each and every stage. There's nothing to stop people from going back and forth between them either.
However,
sooner you realize
cold, hard facts of
latter stages,
sooner you can start to realize
goals you originally set.
It only takes minutes to imagine
world you want to be living in, but that doesn't mean it can be made a reality just as quickly.
You can't escape reality by entering into your own. Dreams bring forth images, persistence brings them home.
