If you are just starting out with marketing on the internet, do you have a marketing plan? Why have a marketing plan? Let’s be clear, you need to know where you are going otherwise you will become overwhelmed.
Failing to plan is planning to fail. You have heard this. You wouldn’t take a long uncharted journey in a car without knowing the directions. Most people fail in internet marketing due to dabbling and doing too many marketing strategies at once. If this is you then stop!

It’s not about chasing shining balls. It’s about designing an affordable balanced marketing campaign. Using only paid marketing will cripple you unless of course you have a stack full money to throw at it. Most people however quit because they run out of money - spending themselves out of the game. If this is you then it’s time to have a Marketing Strategy Plan.

Take time to research a paid campaign. You will need to be looking for a return on your investment. In other words, it’s no good spending on advertising a product or service if the money received is less than that paid out.

If you are using a paid method then you should not need to have to worry about your budget. Equally, I would suggest you use a free method i.e. videos, articles, press releases etc.

Set up a 90 day plan. Most people try for only 2 to 3 weeks then give up when they see no results. Focusing on 90 days will allow your marketing strategies to start to work. Free marketing especially takes time to become ranked in the search engines as this area is very competitive. Everyone wants results for free!

Month 1 is much about choosing your marketing methods and if a newbie marketer, I would suggest one paid method and one free method. This first month will comprise learning and trying.

During month 2, you should be seeing a few winning campaigns – if you are getting it right.

In month 3, you will be getting results through your winning campaigns.

Moving ahead of time, i.e. by 6 months, you should be seeing leads being generated on a daily basis with a number of these converting. Now you are on your way to being a master marketer.

As said, start off with two marketing methods, become good and then become great. Two strategies should give you 90% of the results.

Accept you will make mistakes along the way, may have to take risks and find it is hard work. No one said it will be easy. However, it does not matter if it actually takes 6, 9 or 12 months before you see the expected results. The key is to have a plan and stick to it.

We can all aspire to achieve better things. It may be a case of changing direction and doing something you have never done, but always dreamt of. I’m helping people to think positively about the future and how best use their time. I believe that people can find a way within to pursue an idea and a vision. We all have the ability to take control of our lives, but many just don’t know it or know how.
