Secret to internet marketing success

Have you ever wondered if there is a secret to internet marketing success?

I guess we all understand it takes tenacity, determiniation, persistance, willingness to be open to new ideas and willingness to learn. After all a lot of us were born before anyone had even heard the term internet marketing so there are very few "natural born" internet marketers. The genes have just not had the chance to infiltrate down through the generations as yet.

Anyway, perhaps you have all the qualities I mentioned above and even a few more. However, unless you have one vital ingredient internet marketing success may still elude you.

The one vital ingredient is creating your internet business around something you love! Let's face it, even if you hate internet marketing, you can always hire someone to help you do that for you while you get on with the job of writing ebooks, sourcing information etc on your much loved topic.

In fact, success can come from nearly anything you do. If you have a solid plan and work consistently to see it through, you’re bound to enjoy some lucrative results. However, the likelihood of sticking to your plans increases by a lot if you’re actually enjoying the journey.

There are many benefits to having an internet business about a topic you love versus something that doesn’t inspire you, but here are a few big ones:

1) First, you’ll automatically give it a stronger level of effort and focus than you would with something that’s unpleasant or tiresome. You’ll avoid the temptation to procrastinate because you’ll actually look forward to working on it. In fact, you’ll be having so much fun with it that it won’t feel like “work” at all!

2) Rather than expecting to see big results from your efforts right away, you’ll see the value in letting the process unfold in its own time. With most goals, you’re focused only on getting it done, reaching the finish line before you experience a sense of satisfaction. When you’re doing something you love, the payoff at the end is just a nice bonus – the true reward comes from each moment you spend working on your labor of love!

3) You’ll have more fun in the process. Have you ever achieved something that was extremely difficult and strenuous? By the time you reached the finish line you were probably too tired and relieved that it was over to fully enjoy the sense of accomplishment you would have felt otherwise. With something you truly love, you’ll have fun the whole way through, and get a much bigger “high” when you finally do achieve it.

Many argue that commitment and determination to see it through are all that's required to be successful. In fact, if you’re disciplined and have strong willpower, you can make anything happen, whether you love it or not. But I think that's way too hard! Why risk your health and wellbeing by forcing yourself to be successful, when it's more than likely you'll be more successful doing something you love.

My love is personal development. I have come to really enjoy internet marketing as well. I realised quite early on that if I wanted to reach people with my personal development website, then I had to market it and fortunately I enjoy that as well.

The website development software I use is SiteBuildIt!. Grab a heap of freebies by clicking the link. Essentially, SiteBuildIt! provides an easy to use website builder, hosting, keyword research tools, autoresponders (although you may need 3rd party autoresponder when your business grows), analyses webpages to ensure the search engines will find them, automatically creates sitemaps and heaps of resources to walk you through step by step on creating your own internet business. (You don't even need to know what you want your site to be about as it has a brainstorming function to help you decide what is like to be more profitable for you.)

The only criticism I have about SiteBuildIt! is that the page builder becomes a bit "clunky" once you begin to get comfortable with HTML. However, there is no need to use the site builder if you don't want to as there is the functionality to upload your own HTML pages.

As of today the price is only $299.00 per year which is extraordinary for what you get. I highly recommend you check this out, particularly for those without a website or those with a website that just doesn't work.

Hope you got something out of todays article.
