A couple of days ago, I came across this article that outlines what makes or breaks an internet marketer.
Well, if you are trying to be a successful internet marketer, you should read on. Even if you are already successful NOW, it is always good to remind yourself and check that you do not slide into bad habits that may hurt your business.
1. The Habit of Jumping
The need to jump around like a jumping bean ... sticking to one business idea for at least six months and seeing it through to completion.
2. The God Habit
Every successful business serves a Target Market, a very specific type of customer. Your Target Market can’t be “humans that breathe.”
3. Habit of Blinding Love
People think they should just do what they love and let the money come. You have to link the activity you love to the world of business.
4. The Habit of False Idols
Don’t listen to someone because they’re great at getting your attention. Make sure they can prove paradise exists because they have been there.
5. Tomorrow Habit
You can go for success now or do it tomorrow
6. Sheepish Habit
The world is full of plain, brown shoes, why are you deciding to open a plain, brown shoe store?
Go against the grain and get noticed. Fall into line and you just might fall into oblivion.
7. Alzheimer’s Habit
Forgetting your customers after they say ‘yes’ to you and forgetting potential customers when they say ‘no’ to you. It’s never OK to forget them – always follow-up
It’s not over once they buy from you. It’s just the beginning. It’s not over when they refuse to buy from you. It’s just the beginning. So capture their emails, plan for the follow-up and don’t forget!
In short, you have to find a niche for your products with a specific target market (the best is if it is a product range that you love to sell), don't sell common stuff, do not procrastinate and always follow up with your buyers and potential buyers; i.e. the people who made enquiries!
OK, I KNOW I'm doing some right, but others need a bit of a brushing up, especially difficult when I'm so hard pressed for time.
