I’ve come to a HUGE realisation in the last few months, well, not so much a realisation, its something I’ve known for years. That is that Action is the ONLY REAL secret to success.

I’ve been marketing online for over 5 years, with varied success in some private niches. Its taken a long time for me to actually ‘get it’… I spent way too much time, surfing marketing sites and reading the forums, I was learning a lot, but doing very little! I bought into all the hype products, the good and the bad! When I started using Ranking Power & Traffic Equalizer I thought I’d made it. On top of the world, automated adsense riches and a list growing at lightning speed!

What did I do? Lived on the AdSense & $20 ebook sales & measly affiliate checks. It was great, I did very little and earned enough that I didn’t work. Then the inevitable happened, the search engines got clever, my bubble burst, my income virtually stopped! I knew it was going to happen, I was just so lazy & silly I fooled mysaelf into thinking it wouldn’t.

I did get a sizeable list in one of my niches, tho they all signed up in 2003 and I haven’t contacted them past the original autoresponder sequence (I do have something in the works to salvage whats left of it, updates will follow).

Whenever I look back, I can see that all my successes were direct results of Action. Theres no question in my mind, to be a success in internet marketing, you need websites, you need your own products, you need a list, and you need partners, affiliates and JV’s. Communication is what the internet is all about, and the more you communicate, the more benefits you’ll get, and ultimately the more money you will make!

As soon as you finish reading this, do something constructive, something to move your business along, or start it moving. Write an article, add another message to your autoresponder sequence, contact someone about a joint venture, anything!

Marketing is so vast a topic and so scientific that your never going to learn everything, you’ll learn a lot from doing!

Keep expanding and never put all your eggs in one basket, I learned that the hard way. Sure there’s many people earn staggering a income with AdSense, but many of those would lose everything if they suddenly had their account shut down, which Google can and do do!

If you have a product that isn’t selling, turn it into a free product, build a list, make it viral, upsell and backend! Get in contact with your clients as often as possible! That doesn’t just mean via email. When they sign up to your list, don’t just have a regular thank you message, offer them something on the thank you page

If you don’t inform people of what you want to happen, then it wont happen! You’d be relying on pure luck! And as a wise man once said, “Luck is the moment when preparation and opportunity meet”.
