Online marketing success…whether you are in network marketing, affiliate marketing , or really any kind of Internet marketing, requires a real commitment!
Over the years I have found that no matter how good your company is, how good your compensation plan is, how good your product or service is, how good your team support is, or how good your business-building system is, there is one other element absolutely necessary for massive success in online marketing.
Success in online marketing takes ongoing commitment!
In fact, a recent article in Entrepreneur, The 9 Commitments Required to Succeed, really drives the point home.
I remember a nice gentleman calling me, ready to sign up in the business. He had checked out everything. The gentleman was sold on our company, our team, and me. He had his credit card in his hand and wanted the link to my enrollment page.
But here’s what really got me. He said he would sign up and give it a try for a month and see what happened.
And you know what, because of that, I told him that I would rather he did not join our team…at least right now. That’s right…I turned down an enrollment.
Here’s why. Saying you will give something a try for a short period of time and see what happens is not a good recipe for success. It is definitely not making a commitment.
I learned long ago to put the odds of success in my favor…and in the favor of my new business partners by only spending my time mentoring those likely to succeed. That man was setting himself up for failure.
Before you join any network marketing, affiliate marketing, or Internet business, be sure you are ready to make a commitment. Adopt an attitude of “I’ll do whatever it takes to be successful. Just show me what to do.”
Start out with realistic expectations. Understand that online marketing is not a get rich quick type of thing. Even though I teach our new business partners how to make money quickly, it does take time to create the long-term residual income that our industry is known for.
It takes commitment to succeed in online marketing.
To your success,
