This is a topic that’s near and dear to my heart. What makes a particular business road RIGHT for you?
I’ve been making my living online now since, hmm, 1997 for the most part. I’ve gone thru the “I can do it on my OWN WOOHOO!” phase to the “Jeepers Affiliates are really helpful!” phase to “Well, yes affiliates are but I need to help THEM as well” to “Hmmm but what about the message I want to teach?” to “Lookie me! I’m so jaded I’m giving up!” to …. you get the idea.
And when it comes to defining how YOU will profit online….it’s a deeply personal thingee indeed.
My own particular journey in product creation/motivation/authority goodness/etc. has been quite the rollerCoaster indeed! But for me, personally, one of the biggest impacts for me involved NEGATIVE space – I kept seeing what I *didn’t* want to do.
For example – selling the dream with zero backup for achieving it. MLMs. Going to production with something that DIDNT work. Glorifyinghalf-naked women ONLY in launches (I’d be fine if there was an equal opportunity for male eyecandy as well!).
I’m proud that in all my products I have released, they’re all *doable* actions that require, of course, effort and implementation. Many of them arose from productizing what has worked for me both long-term AND short-term (eMail marketing long-term, ChatGPT Made Mighty, bizarre-term, Adsense, break-google-code-term, etc.etc.etc.)
But it wasn’t always like that…before I decided to be me, well, being *me*, I did try other Internet marketing thingees. Adswaps (not for me). Adwords (definitely not for me). Kindle ebooks (didn’t know how to market them, but will revisit that in the future). And every time I’d uncover something that did NOT flap my earlobes, I’d take a mental note – Alrighty….scratch this off the list!
But that’s just me. Let’s return this conversation to the most important person it involves…YOU!
How are you currently zeroing in on the mark YOU want to make with your marketing online? What resonates with you…and what leaves you cold? When you think on it, I’ll bet the answers might surprise you indeed.
Enjoy!
