Up and Running! Now What?

While I’d like to thank many of you for supporting my business by purchasing your residual income program from my website, I continue to bear in mind that your primary purpose is not to support my business but to build your own. For this, I congratulate you! You’ve joined the ranks of rare individuals, who dare to impose their will on destiny in a way that only a few of us are prepared to venture. Your ability to succeed is limited only by your mind!

The greatest challenge you’ll face with your new business is marketing it to the masses. Don’t be intimidated by the challenge, as it also presents your greatest opportunity! We live in and are part of a universe that is mostly unknown and unexplored by us. You are part of an infinite greatness, within which possibilities are boundless! With your potential, how can you not attract wealth into your life?

Social media websites, for example, make it possible to market your business in ways that allow you to be genuine. I’ve had traditional sales jobs, for which I was trained to use sales tactics I thought were insulting to human intelligence. For this reason, I was never comfortable with such tactics as the “take-away close”. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but just not me.

While PPC or pay per click advertising is an effective direct marketing technique, it still costs money every time someone clicks on your advertisement with no guarantee of a sale. My favorite way to market my business is to use social media, which is free. Through this medium, you engage in the process of branding yourself and of building relationships with people. Relationship means credibility, which is essential for the survival of any business on or offline.

In spite of its simplicity, the results don’t come over night. It takes a great deal of effort and time on your part. Still, no matter what new web-based marketing technologies become available, the end user will always be a human being, whose trust must be earned so that his(her) final decision to buy is in your favor. For this reason, you’re focus for your business should be to establish credibility and build relationships. An excellent way to establish credibility and build relationships is to blog or to submit articles related to your business.

The fact that your business is new and that you’re an unknown may offer an advantage. Most people can relate to an unknown “Joe Schmoe” more so than to a “high & mighty” guru especially when it comes to product reviews. For example, I went online to get information on a system cooling device for my video game console. While I found some good reviews on the product page, I wanted a more direct source. After searching a little further, I found videos online with “real people” giving their assessment of this cooling device. As a consumer, I felt much more comfortable about purchasing the device from the manufacturer!

Be genuine in your desire to offer people the highest quality of product or service, and your business will inevitably thrive! Make it a pleasure to work hard for your business. No one said it had to be painful! Your success lies in the journey, and part of your journey will be your effort to continually educate yourself on new ways to grow your business by connecting with people. I make it a point to read the articles of other internet marketers, who are successful in their businesses. One can never learn too much about how to make money online.

Finally, keep the company of people, who are a positive influence on you! Avoid discussing your business with those, who think they know every reason why you should quit. Such people, including those with the best of intentions, can’t understand why you’re not content with mediocrity. Be sure to re-charge your sense of motivation and purpose on a daily basis.
