Internet Marketing Expert Series: The “Tao” Of Marketing

Tao?

Ah, yes… it’s me going into my mode of “nothingness”. I think internet marketing has a very interesting set of revelations. As far as I have found, people who are doing well in internet marketing treat it as a part of their lives.

Some people, however, lay blame, abdicate responsibility, and fail to produce even the slightest reason why they must learn it. As I mentioned, this is a business that you cannot “fail” in except by not taking action.

Everyone fails in life or business. Over the last few weeks, I’d been meeting people who have been very unsuccessful in business. I don’t know why. I just feel that many people who start off in business do so for hte wrong reasons. If you are confused by information, you have to sort yourself out because nobody can sort you out. This sentiment is shared by ALL successful business owners and marketers.

If there were anything I wish I could do, is to find the gene for complaints and blame and destroy it.

Too bad, it’s not my responsibility to do so. It’s yours!

Still, there will be people who will not want to do any kind of internet marketing. The fastest way to turn an internet marketing expert into junk is to tell him or her that it’s their fault for not making you a millionaire (lol). It’s YOUR business, so YOU take responsibility for your own actions.

Giving Up

I suspect that the same rules we laid out in our own training program will come true in internet marketing. Out of 100% of the people in the world who start their online dreams, only 5% will ever succeed. That’s great, in my opinion, because this will give me additional leeway to provide more support for those who are really serious about internet marketing. Experts know that in order to succeed, the winning first begins in the mind.

Are you the kind who easily gives up, or are you willing to build your plan and then stick to it? I know some of you must have thought about giving up before, and I do know that it’s always a difficult to keep committed to something you perceive as technical.

I think that the marketing elements in “internet marketing” have to be emphasized. If you can’t understand marketing, you will not be able to see the implications for internet marketing. You need to take the internet base and expanding your knowledge proactively. Many people who are just simply letting their knowledge come from one source will probably find it too constricted. It’s like having one restaurant to fill your needs. There will be diminishing returns. So what you will have to do is to find your areas of interest and begin to seek knowledge from other sources, be it teleseminars, webinars, workshops, coaching programs… the list will go on. However, I will recommend that if you are to learn, form up a proper learning environment together with other people. Differentiated information actually helps develop your knowledge even faster.

Conclusion – Doom For Internet Marketing Newbies?

Ha… er… if you are a newbie, you’re not doomed. You’re just going to have to bear the brunt of the force and pick yourself up. This molds your success, and as long as you keep moving, the more the “punishment” you can take, the more experience you can chalk up.

Personally, I’d say you should strive to be excellent instead of striving toward being rich. After excellence comes wealth!
