- Do you have particular knowledge that others would find desirable enough to buy from you?
- Would you prefer to promote others’ products and/or services?
- Maybe you’d like to have an online shop?
How do you start?
OK, then how do you start and develop an internet marketing business? Where can you find the tools and techniques that you would need to be successful in this huge, online marketplace?
You may feel that the Internet is a vast, complex place where it takes special knowledge and a new language and techniques in order to get on it and sell products and services.
Learn New Skills
Unless you already have online business skills you will need to find a place or an organization that offers training and mentoring and coaching with professionals who have found success at this exciting Internet world.
You can use search engines to search for people and/or companies that can teach you what you need to get started . Try keying in words like, “Internet Marketing Training” or “Internet Mentoring” or Internet Coaching” and you will find many results that may help you find what you are looking for!
Exercise Wisdom…
But be careful about who you can trust, and be very cautious about what you are being sold.
Up to date strategies, genuine help and a business that is financially solid are essential elements. There is no point in trying to create extra retirement income if it is not on a solid foundation.
Once you have located a place or places that offer the training you need, be sure to do the diligence to find out the person’s or the organization’s reputation as successful trainers and mentors and coaches. Of course, you will need to weigh the costs of buying the training services. You should ask if their service in training, mentoring and coaching is ongoing or is it a one-time seminar or seminars with ongoing additional costs over time. And you should ask for references of others who have used these people or organizations to find if success is what they have experienced.
Successfully creating extra retirement income is a wonderful idea, but you must be well supported so that you will make money and not lose it.
“To thine own self be true”
In the spirit of complete transparency we trusted a company with a solid reputation, outstanding training and an exciting range of products. Out of the blue the US Federal Trade Commission shut them down, and everyone who had invested in the company lost their money. Very sad, and a huge learning curve.
You know the old Shakespearean quotation “To thine own self be true”? I learnt a very big and painful lesson. I just didn’t “feel right” about the company and lost focus on a lot of my own natural skills and experience in my eagerness to be successful within that organisation.
