We all know that many people have created successful internet businesses with little or no money. I guarantee you that all of these folks started out with positive attitudes and their minds focused on winning.

So what makes attitude of a champion work online? It's simple. There are a few things that you should be doing to market like an Internet Marketing Champion:

1. You have to LOOK for what's missing and then provide it. Focus on SOLUTIONS. Not only what people need, but if you want to sell well you have to give people what they want. You will be much more successful by selling products that are interesting to you.

Before you create a product do research to make sure that people want to buy it. Even if you know they need it. People spend most of their money on what they want, not what they need. Do you see people spending more money on sodas and beer they want (that make them unhealthy) or health food that they need to be healthy? If you don't have money to pay your bills and you really want to go to see a movie do you go to movie or save cash for bills you need to pay?

2. You have to do what other people don't want to do. Obviously you and I are entrepreneurs so we already find creative ways to build our businesses. You already know about basics: classifieds, search engine placement, submitting articles, publishing your own ezine, building your own opt-in list, etc. But are you doing all of these extra things to build your business?

One of traditions I like at this time of year is remembering all people that were there for me this past year. Especially those that didn't receive anything in return for it -- in smallest or largest way.

Meaningful gift giving does not have to be expensive. In fact, some of most precious gifts are ones that cost very little, but mean a great deal because of time and effort it took to select, or create, and mail.

Here are eight ideas I have used over last few years. You can use these as Christmas gifts; add them to your "leave-behind" marketing package, a referral thank you, or "thanks for helping me" gift.

It does make a difference if your logo or advertising information is on gift. It does affect perceived value on their part and can make a difference in your relationship. Make choice to add your information or leave it off with their perception in mind. Remember, marketing is all perception and not product or service.

1. Purchase discontinued note card sets from Hallmark and other card shops during year. If you call and ask your nearest store as to time of year when they discount "previous season" items, they will gladly tell you. You can save from 50% to 75% on these items.

2. Create a logo candy jar. You can purchase candy jars with different seasonal markings. Then create a stencil with your company logo or web site address (I prefer web site address). You can buy stencil supplies and empty candy jars at your local craft store like MJ Design, Michaels, or online. They sometimes have mailing boxes to match. Add a bow with your business card. Keep jar nice so they want to keep it out in open for that season. Jars for Easter season are great with miniature eggs in them and are not likely to get completing jars from other suppliers. After dinner mints are great for contents. If you return frequently, bring a refill with you.
