Internet marketing is a lucrative market that thousands of people have already tried.  A lot of people fail because they simply don’t treat “Internet marketing” like a real business.  In order to make it a worthwhile venture on the internet you are going to need to understand some fundamental facets of the game that will make you a successful internet marketer.

1. Persistence

Believe it or not, persistence is one of the biggest attributes you are going to need as an internet marketer especially in the beginning.  Without this you are going to fall into the trap of what thousands have already fallen into.   They simply buy “too good, to be true” offers, find out they don’t work and call it quit.  This is the mentality of a lot of people when they begin online with internet marketing.  Not to mention this is a dirty tactic for experienced marketers, by preying on the online marketing uneducated and profiting from it (massively).

Simply, put a plan together of what you’re going to do each day, week, and month.  Know that you’re not going to wake up and be an Internet marketing sensation.  Learn from reputable resources, layout your business model, and finally execute it.   It could be as simple as I am going to research buying a domain and web hosting, learn how to customize it, etc.  Taking the time to learn what you plan to do and get more incited on it can take you a long way.

2. Establish A Social Presence

In order to make a profit with Internet marketing you are going to need to have a real social presence.  Google has hinted at this for years and the latest Penguin update has shown us more and more about how people naturally link to your website/blog.  Don’t use any automated bots or anything that could potentially jeopardize your social media accounts.

Simply, setting up a Twitter, Facebook, Google +1, etc account and participating on them is a must to master the arts of internet marketing.  There are a lot of online tools, plugins, social hubs, services, etc that we can use in order to make the process much less time consuming.  You must engage the people that are in your target niche.  Look for the people that are an authority and actively engage with them first.  You must avoid to make people think your social medial accounts are bot or spam accounts.

3. SEO – Driving Traffic

In order to make money online we have to drive traffic to our site whether it be SEO (search engine optimization) or paid per click advertising (PPC).  Many times successful marketers will run their SEO and PPC campaigns simultaneously.  PPC is a short term ROI while SEO is a longterm ROI.

Watch out for link schemes, dirty tactics (blackhat), and known scams that don’t really drive traffic to your site.  Don’t make impulse decisions for your marketing campaigns; think it over clearly and do your research.  Remember you are building a brand in whatever niche you choose.  The less dirt you have on your name the better.

4. Reevaluating

You’re going to have to reevaluate your spending and earnings to show which method is working and minimize the promotions that are not working.  To do this you can use WordPress plugins that monitor this key data and make use of tracking such as, Google Analytics, or Sitemeter.  Along with tracking data on your sites you need to track your links and what people are clicking on.  If you are using social media you may want to use Bitly for link shortening and tracking.

Keeping close tabs on what works and what doesn’t is vital to your online marketing success.  Over the years I have learned that what seems to be giving me a good ROI for months diminishes overtime. There is no set method that will work for eternity.  Just looking back at online marketing 5 years ago, you could easily notice all the changes that have taken place.  Those who can change and evolve will prevail in internet marketing.

Final Words of Wisdom

In a nutshell, online marketing takes time and does require real amount of work.  Your business model needs to be clearly laid out and you must stay current with what’s effective and what’s a waste of time.  Most importantly, once you get one income stream stable, work on others so you’re not putting all your eggs in one basket.  Online marketing is fun and yes a real job, but you need to take it very seriously if you want to succeed in it.

    Great tips. Persistence is what gets most people early on I think. Success doesn’t come over night.

  18. These are all great tips and I think persistence is the most important! It seems that people today don’t have patience and want instant gratification and you can’t get that with internet marketing right away–you have to work at it and stick with it.


  19. Twitter:
    I have always said that being motivated won’t do it being persistent won’t do it either you have to be absolutely tenacious.

    Hi Enstine,

    Awesome post! I completely agree to the fact that only serious efforts are rewarded whether it is is internet marketing or any other field. Success only happens when we are focused and we are consistently serious about making it happen.

    Sometimes people get into the calculation mode and they want to have all the information before they could take the first step. Sometimes that is a big hindrance. I encourage people to act on faith and correct as you move forward. I think that’s the best way to fail forward than just procrastinating.

    Thanks
    Kumar.

  34. I completely agree with your important factors, especially persistence. In the competitive market of internet marketing, it can be very difficult to compete. Continued perseverance and innovation is absolutely necessary to improve customer connectedness. Reevaluating is also very important. At first, it is very easy to get caught up in the “greatness” and excitement of your own internet marketing campaign. However, the reality is that not all internet marketing campaign is great. It is important to continually reevaluate ones effectiveness and message.


  35. Twitter:
    Great marketing tips. As a new marketer myself I constantly have to remind myself that success is not going to happen overnight, but that its going to be a journey; a journey that I am happy to take in order to succeed. As long as you make progress each day then your on the right path.

  40. The concept of SEO is one of those things that are fairly simple, much simple than people make it out to be. But is easier said then done; it takes time, dedication, patience, and overall interesting things to say and do. Make your websites for your users and not for google. THIS is what truly makes google happy.

  58. The first part of your paragraph said it all \”A lot of people fail because they simply don’t treat Internet marketing like a real business\”. What has to be understood is that just like anything else, it takes passion, focus and persistence, no one is going to go into something and begin making millions of dollars their very first week, or month, and not even year. It takes time, patience and a lot of great teachers. Thanks for the methods, we will be applying them to our site: affiliatecolony.com to continue the knowledge spread.

  59. I agree with your point and about reevaluate, this is the important thing to check if your strategies working or waste of time, some time we think our strategies work. Actually i want become internet marketer but i don\’t know how to start.

  60. Hey!

    Nice reminders in this post, especially with regard to building reputation and persistence. These are truths in any business, including internet marketing!
    Thanks for such a nice post.

    I think the first point is the most important. Building an online presence and gaining ground in the serps takes time and constancy. Many people give up before they ever start getting traction. I agree with the mix of SEO and PPC, especially for business.

    Nice tips here. The truth is that an internet business must be approached just like any other business. You need goals and strategies. You also need to be consistent in doing the things that will help you such as SEO and social media. All of those things combined with patience will eventually pay off.

  63. I f you really want to grow of your business and want to make your brand popular than internet marketing is prime factor in today’s world. Social media is very popular way to make your presence online with real audience but apart from that SEO and PPC is also good for internet marketing.
