Are you abiding by the Internet marketing’s core ten commandments?
I have never heard of the Internet marketing’s ten core commandments before. Wonder where I’ve been hiding?
The ten internet marketing commandments were brought to my attention by a fellow Better Networker. I decided to take a little look , researched and found myself spending a little while longer that I should have running through the ten core commandments to determine whether they actually applied to my network marketing business or not.
It got me thinking that a great online business is not built overnight and like Rome, it needs time effort and energy and can lead to many late nights – as my friend so aptly put it “ Till is where it all begins”
To say that building an online business is hard work is an understatement. And not as glamorous as many Network marketers and internet marketer would like you to believe. At least not in the beginning. (this little sentence is meant to give you hope.)
There is no such thing as “get rich quick “ online business and one who says there is – is talking total nonsense and is out to make a quick buck – OFF YOU!!
Putting yourself out there can be tough – You have your own limiting beliefs that stand in your way, Your comfort zone that feels so comfortable, it does not want to be stretched. Gaining exposure for your online business requires commitment, dedication, consistency and perseverance ~ a lot of it
However, this post is not about that the above qualities that make or break a network marketer but rather about sharing what I now know as the;
Ten commandments of Internet marketing.
Understand that technology should enable. – Most people who initially enter the online world are not that “tech savvy” (that includes me) so make sure that you use technology that enables you. Accept the fact that it might take you some time to learn new systems and procedures – remain positive and calm when pressure rises.
Don’t take your competitors for granted. That means other MLM companies too. Don’t bad mouth them and never ever be negative about the company you represent or others as a matter of fact. Allow others to make their own wise choices when choosing a network marketing company – Just because they don’t choose yours doesn’t mean the one they do choose is BAD. Know what is out there, who they are and what they sell. Learn from the market.
Know your audience. Find your Niche. Generalists don’t make as much money as the specialists do. Determine your exact target market. Perfect what you do. Try not to offer too much at once and be all things to your customers. (remember the “80-20 rule” – 20% of your activities produces 80% of your results/profit and vice versa!).
Connect with people daily – just because it is the internet does not allow you to neglect the fact that building relationships is what ultimately grow your business. People support you when they know, like and trust you. Be authentic in your presentation of yourself. After all most people who want to join you network marketing business, join YOU, and not the business.
Honour your parents, teachers and communities and especially your family.
In other words so teach your children and perhaps your parent how to use the internet wisely. Teach them to respect the broad limits and also what sites are acceptable and which are not – educate them wisely and help them to learn that the internet is a great tool to be used for the present and the future.
Thou shalt not spam – This is evil and considered rude if not unethical. Spamming is like barging into someone’s home and dumping a whole lot of your rubbish on their doorstep. You wouldn’t want this done to you, so please refrain from doing it to others.
Ps: spamming by the way = sending unsolicited emails to your friends, family and anyone who happens to be listed in your contact list – a big No No!
Do not launch your product before the market is ready for it.
Do you research – It serves no purpose to launch a product or service that no one has any use for. Make sure that when you do launch your product is awesome – in other words, More superior. Ensure that it is distinctly different to the others of the same nature out there. Market it well so gain the quickest and highest exposure possible.
Take the business of internet marketing seriously.
Remember Bill Gates’s wise words: “There’ll be two types of business in the year 2000 : those online… and those out of business.”
Internet marketing is indeed a business and those that play at it like a hobby will most definitely get hobby results, others who see the potential will do all it takes to create a powerhouse of a business from which they can fund and achieve their hearts desire. I say again;
Internet marketing is indeed a lucrative business, when you play the game correctly.
Have an effective web presence.
So what does your website say – about you and your service? Or does it leave people wondering where they are and what you’re selling.
If your message of who you are , what you have to offer and what’s in it for them is not clear, they will drop your site like a hot potato in search of one that offer them the experience that they are after.
Use the Internet to build a better world.
The internet is the most cost-efficient and effective way of marketing products and services around the globe. So use your creative energies and imagination to the fullest. Offer products and services that can empower people, make the internet a safe place, a place of wonderment, learning and self improvement
A place where entrepreneurship can be nurtured and employment created, a great way for many to test their entrepreneurism is through the involvement of internet marketing and network marketing.
There is no magic bullet, secret pill that you can take that will ensure immediate success and tons of money overnight, the internet is a wide open forum in which many different people and business enter the market to play together on the same playing field.
Success lies in the heart of the most determined, and is achieved by those prepared to take on heaps of hard work, initially. Internet marketing in my opinion is the only industry that allows you to create wealth for yourself and others on a shoestring budget.
The journey to success can be rewarding and fulfilling as you get to meet and interact with many other determined people on your way.
