Are you ready to start your own online business or expand your offline business to earn more from the internet?Â
Chances are your next qustion then is …where can I learn internet marketing basics quickly so that I can make the most of my time and effort?Â
Having gone through the process and continually growing an Enterprise of online businesses, here’s the techniques we can share with you that helped us learn the basics and continue that learning more than 10-years later:
1.Study successful online businesses carefully – not just WHAT they were doing but WHY it was working. I looked at what their web pages looked like, what they were selling, how they interacted with their market, how they got their traffic, how they monetized their traffic, and so on….you can learn a great deal JUST by doing this
2. I did buy products…by and large they were helpful. As long as I learned one new tip, technique, concept or strategy from each one I was happy. Back in 2000 I studied people who were successfully launching their own ebook and information publishing businesses – today that business is just one of our top models for making money online.  In fact his was such an important part of our early success we put together InfoMarketer’sZone as a one-stop. low-cost but extremely practical resource for jump starting internet marketing – thousands of people have thanked us for paving the way for their online business success.Â
3. Taking Action. No fear…just jump in and expect that not everything will work, but be darn sure to recognize what does and what doesn’t work so you don’t repeat mistakes and don’t ignore what does work
4. Network & Learn – anywhere I could…by email, phone, at seminars (now you have even more places via social networking) with my mentors…learning everything I could from them.Â
5. Scale What Works…Once I figured out something that worked, I outsourced so that it would scale bigger fast and so I could continue to learn new techniques and strategies that would add additional streams of traffic or income
That’s it…it will start off slower than you may like, but as long as you are making forward progress (finding out what doesn’t work or does work for you), then you are miles ahead of where you are today.
