Never Give UP!!!
I can see the glow from your face
coming through the screen
- if that is the case - Why the name of the article -
Never Give UP!!!
The glow is coming from the fact that
you have just gotten
your web pages up and you are ready to set the world
on
fire with your product. We've all been through
that same glow.
It is a wonderful feeling and there
would be no web pages
put up without that expectation. You've read
all the right
things to do according to all the guru's on the net.
You've
listed and read and listed again and again. You've
covered
the FFA (free for all) pages, free classifieds,
written for all
the e-zines. Now all that is left to do is sit back
and wait.
The glow grows brighter - you just
know you have hit the target
of every marketer on the web. You've covered all the
bases.
Now you have slept on it - and you get up and can't
wait to
get to that computer to see all the orders you know
will be waiting
for you.
You open up your e-mail and find you
have 150 messages.
Alright!!! We're on the run now. Quickly you open up
the
e-mails - and one after the other - the same story -
all these
people are trying to sell you something also. They
didn't even
read your classifieds, all they wanted was your e-mail
address.
What a disappointment - the glow dims
a little. This is the game
called Internet Marketing. Lesson number one learned.
It's not that easy!!!
Now I'm not saying it can't be done.
Dig deeper is the answer.
You read every book you can find that tells you how
to market
on the Internet. You've read that the best
thing to do is to market your
own product with some good bonuses.
You realize you need another e-mail
account to handle all the offers
coming through now, but you are afraid to delete all
these messages
because there may be buried treasure in 'them
thar e-zines.' So you spend hours reading and sure
enough, you find some buried treasures. You
now have a new direction to move in.
Developing the e-zine is a lot of fun
and you search and search for
information that will interest others. You
spend days putting the
e-zine together and are very proud of yourself. The
disappointments
of the first round you thought was a failure has now
developed you
into a much stronger and more knowledgable marketer.
You now place a few paid ads and a
few ad swaps and find that
there are really people out there reading your work
and interested
in your product. Even though it has not happened
overnight.
It is a slow and painstaking process and only those
with the attitude
of "I WILL make it!!!! will survive.
You finally get a order and see that
the system works. Now the
glow is back on your face and you go at it even
harder. You have
just reached another level of marketing. Each
level that you reach
that you felt was a failure will bring you into
another level of knowledge
and a more experienced marketer.
I wish it would be as easy as telling
you to just follow others steps -
but then you will miss out on the wonderful step in
life called 'experience.' Nothing can replace
that. Take advice from the ones who have been
there, done that - but never copy them - the
ingredient that would be
missing is -YOU!
Each failure brought to a glowing
success will make you stronger
and more determined and soon you will become the guru
that will be
leading others. But the bottom line will
always be
'NEVER GIVE UP.' and by the way
- do you know what GURU means -
