Whether you're new to online marketing or a seasoned professional, most of us have gone through the same thought process of what it takes to become a successful online marketer. We've all thought about all the hard work and time that we must devote to make this whole marketing process become a reality in our lives. This is a process that requires commitment, self motivation and just plain hard work if we want to see a successful future in online marketing.
This process can become as complicated as we permit it to become. There are steps in this process that must be addressed from the first day of exposure to online marketing until the day we die or quit promoting. Some individuals give up to quickly, and had they pursued their dreams for just a while longer they would have been rewarded with a profitable outcome for their efforts.
We all know the drill we have to follow to get online, we have to get a domain, secure a good hosting program and promote our opportunity to be successful online, however, how many of us have really sat down and counted the cost of actually marketing effectively? Statics show that less than 5% of all people who attempt an online career actually make money online. Some experts say that less than 2-3% actually makes it, which is even more astounding.
In some of our recent articles, we've talked about how to obtain a domain, get the hosting account and the step by step process we must all follow to even get started in this business. If you haven't had a chance to review these articles, I think it would be well worth your time to read these writings and follow the process outlined.
