I have learned that those who are really successful in the business of Internet Marketing have built themselves a list of prospects that are responsive to what they have to offer.
Their product doesn't really matter! They have learned to market themselves because people will only do business online with those whom they have come to know and trust as someone who supplies them with a need they have.
Even if you are just beginning, you may have already found out that trying to market to your friends and family members is, for the most part, futile! Even if some of them do business with you, your prospect list gets short in a hurry!
The prospects that successful marketers want to target are people who are already marketing on the Internet because they are obviously already interested!
People who are not marketing on the Internet aren't interested and it would be a hard sell to make them interested!
Those who are already marketing on the Internet are a hard target to penetrate because they are usually more interested in getting you interested in what they are marketing than they are in what you have to offer!
I think that pretty well sums up the reason why most Internet Marketers who have been in the business for any length of time know that only about 5% of the people who attempt to market on the Internet actually achieve success!
However, that is not a reason to become discouraged! If there are 100 thousand people who attempt to be Internet Marketers (and there are probably more than that) and 5% are successful, that means that 5 thousand Internet Marketers are successful in the business!
Of course each of us need to determine in our own minds what success is!
I would personally consider myself a success if the amount I'm earning is enough above what I am spending that I can see enough profit from my efforts to consider what I am doing to be worth continuing to do!
By that definition, I must admit that I'm still among the 95% but I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel!
That brings me to this question:
What am I doing to get out of this tunnel and out into the light where I can declare myself to be a highly successful Internet Marketer so that my income will far exceed my expenses?
The answer:
I am targeting other Internet Marketers and providing them with what they need more than anything else in order to be successful!
What they need is the same thing as what I need, a list of responsive people who are interested in what they have to offer!
An addition to my list of responsive people will be coming from right here, where my responsive people will be getting the leads that will build a nice addition to their list of responsive people!
I know, as well as many other successful marketers do, that the more people I can help to be successful the more successful I will be!
