What is the secret formula that so many of these business opportunities you see paraded everywhere claim to possess?
First off, the greatest skill that you can develop, greater than the ability to write kick-butt sales copy, emails that get opened and incredible web site design skills is that of the ability to focus.
If you just had focus, determination and a definite goal, you have everything you need to make it online already within you. How's that for a noodle-frying thought? The last thing you would ever see after purchasing the latest opportunity, looking for the quick fix, plug in profit answer to your money making prayers is for the vendor to say "thanks for your $97 purchase, the secret is...there is no secret, you already know enough from all of the other products combined to make an incredible living off the internet yourself, and this is just the same re-hashed old stuff in a slightly different package". Of course you'll never see that as they actually have to justify charging you $97 in the first place and end up giving a bunch of unrelated, filler bonuses just to make you think you're getting a good deal.
You see, I sincerely believe that one of the biggest profit-killers online today is wasted time. Rather than "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" mentality, actually
spend the time to focus on a real business of your own. You can spend that time on something constructive and actually build something valuable as opposed to chasing the next pie in the sky dream. After you finally come off the next business opportunity buzz you will realize you have nothing solid to show for it and that you could have taken that time and money and got yourself further ahead with your own business.
You already know enough to succeed, I believe you've been around long enough, have read enough to know this, the only thing left to do which makes the ultimate difference between success and failure is to apply the tremendous amount of knowledge you have and to simply take action with it, use it!
Once you start using your knowledge and applying it your business, be consistent. Choose one thing to master and continue to develop it, become the best in your field at it, become an expert. Through being consistent, you develop good habits, good habits become second nature. Before you know it, the task of article writing that once seemed so daunting becomes easier the more consistently you do it. By creating consistent habits you will finally achieve success, instead of going from the latest week to week business opportunity.
Zero to Hero in 5 Steps
1) Nike got it right when they coined the phrase "just do it" and so should you. Find your passion niche, find what you get out of bed for, what drives and motivates you, then just go for it. Take action.
2) Knowledge is Power. You must learn to test. You need a benchmark with which to measure your level of success. It is difficult to know which form of advertising is working better than others, where you are losing money, which headline is superior to others if you are not at least tracking and testing your results. If you cannot pinpoint what works best for you then you cannot duplicate it. The key to success is scalability, taking what works and doing more of it.
3) Without sounding too much like an army advertisement, become the best you can be in your field. Know everything there is to know about your chosen field. People invest in information, not just the latest ebook or get rich quick scheme, they are buying information they hope will answer their burning questions, to make a difference in their lives or their businesses and they are hoping to get that from you. If you become an expert
in your field than you in a better position to provide them with the answers they are looking for.
4) Divulge what you know. Share your knowledge with others, don't worry if you are not an expert yet, that will come with time, after all, experts are made, not born. Create articles that link back to your site, this is a great way to garner traffic as well as give your potential customers a taste of your style and information.
5) Back to "consistency". Build your online career one day at a time. Develop the necessary habits of taking action everyday and you will see your business grow in leaps and bounds. Write articles each day. Go that extra step further to build up your client list, follow up with your clients questions and needs, research more regarding your chosen field and you will finally have the business that has eluded you so for long.
Follow these steps and not only will you scrape your business out of the doldrums but you will experience a greater level of success and satisfaction online than you have ever thought possible.
