Where does a frustrated
Newbie begin?

"Let's see... I've got a website I poured my heart and soul into.
Although I make improvements to it all the time, and it's always in a state of
"never done," I'm
pleased with my creation...."
As time and labor consuming as website creating is, getting the darn thing up
and functional is only the very beginning. The only reason to put a website up
on
the internet is, after all, to share yourself, your knowledge, your experience,
and wares with the piece of the cyber world pie that is also interested in
similar
concepts. So, how in the heck do you let others know you're there, and most
importantly, that they'll benefit by visiting your website?
Delving into internet marketing "how to" material can be daunting.
There's so much to do and precious few hours to do it. Some give up before
they've hardly begun
after becoming overwhelmed with the awesome responsibility they ultimately find
out an internet business REALLY is.
OH MY GOSH... ALL THIS???
HTML, forms, CGI, Java, search engines, mirror pages, submitting, meta tags,
redirects, graphics, signature files, opportunities galore, blasters, content,
contests, banners, buttons, pop-ups, ad bars, browsers, follow-ups,
autoresponders, free stuff everywhere, classifieds, message boards, ezines,
newsgroups, mailing
lists, spam, spam-free, reciprocal links, this method, that program.... AHHHHH
!!!!
No wonder some give up after only a few months! With so many marketing
methods to choose from, you may think you have to do it all to be successful,
and then end up so scattered and unfocused that you do none of them completely
or well.
BUILD SUCCESS BY FOCUSING
Based on the knowledge that you possess RIGHT NOW, this moment, ask yourself
what aspects of website creating and sharing excite you the most. To start, make
a list of 5 (you'll expand on this list later, after implementing and habitizing
the first two or three).
Look at your list and number the choices in order of your own interest level.
Which would you MOST like to learn more about and implement, before any others?
That's your number 1.
Out of the four that are left, which one is next on your level of joy or
interest? And so on.
ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT
Give yourself permission to build your solid internet business from the
ground up, starting with the foundation, brick by brick. The taller the
building, the stronger the foundation and structure need to be. Give yourself
permission to take your time. Give up the "overnight riches or
nothing" mentality. Your future total financial independence depends on it!
START AT THE PERFECT PLACE, THE BEGINNING!
Whatever is number 1 on your list, begin to implement it. Search, read, learn
all you can on that subject, then carry that idea through your entire website or
daily/weekly internet activities.
FOCUS. PERSIST. COMPLETE. PERFECT.
Now, through the above process, you suddenly notice, out of the blue, that
your number one has naturally become an integral part of your website and the
way you naturally do things. It's become a habit pattern within you AND your
website! Congratulate yourself! Throw a party!
Then move onto choice number 2....
Search, read, learn, implement, FOCUS, PERSIST, COMPLETE, PERFECT... BOOM!
HABIT! Party time! Onto choice number 3.... You get the picture.
By now, what has your focused persistence and due diligence given you? Take a
look at what's "happened;" Long before you originally envisioned upon
embarking on this new project of projects, you became a PRO! You're making
money, you're getting more confident and skillful with each passing month, which
leads to even MORE increase. How about that?! It's time to quit your day job!
You continue the same process, always adding the next step to your list upon
completion of the one before, keeping up with the ever changing internet in a
focused, disciplined way, and... egads! Now you've become a MASTER!
There's always more to learn; newer, streamlined twists on the old, new
software, ideas, innovative techniques to utilize and teach.... What level of
Internet webMASTER will you attain? What are your hopes, wishes, and dreams, and
how high is the sky? Only YOU can define your limits or lack of them.
Get started TODAY. You have the ability, and you deserve SUCCESS.
