What's the relation between Internet Marketing and Motorcycle Maintenance?
Apparently nothing to the common eye.
But there is a lot! Internet marketing looks very easy from outside just like
the feeling of someone who does not know motorcycling. This article on Internet
Marketing establishes a proper perspective about the online business.
Internet Marketing and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
I was just thinking about something I'd like to share with you,
and hopefully it'll give you something to think about as well. I was remembering
when I took a motorcycle riding safety class when I was 23 years old. I had no
previous riding experience, aside from a bit of mountain biking with a 21-speed,
and I figured it wouldn't be too much different going from that to a motorcycle.
Yes, it gives me slight grin now, too.
Boy was it was crazy, I couldn't have been more wrong! I imagined myself just
climbing on and riding off into the sunset like a pro. But when the time came
and I actually sat on the bike for the first time and rode a few hundred feet,
it was quite an eye-opener, to say the least. I felt like I was 15 years old
again, with a driving permit in my wallet and my mom in the passenger seat.
Those familiar emotions were running through me again -- apprehension,
confusion, excitement and fear -- only this time I had more life-experience
under my belt to better manage them all.
Sure, having driven a manual transmission car for many years did help control
the motorcycle, but it was still pretty foreign. But with time, practice, and
making plenty of mistakes, I got pretty good at it. Eventually, it became second
nature. And even now, after all the experience I've gained, I'm planning on
taking an advanced riders safety course.
This reminds me of internet marketing. Maybe you are just starting your first
online business, or maybe you are on to your second or third and are now
marketing those. Where ever you are at, the amount of business experience you
have will vary from most everyone else; but here's a fact no matter how long
you've been doing it: if you don't practice internet marketing, it will never
get any easier.
Internet marketing is just like learning to ride a motorcycle or drive a car.
Before actually getting into the thick of it, people may tell you "Oh, it's so
easy!" or "All you have to know is this, that's it." Even when you think about
the steps and procedures beforehand, you can convince yourself that you have it
all planned out and it'll go off without a hitch. But once you actually do it,
you get that much needed reality check.
Internet marketing isn't something you can just "do" and get right the first
time around. Yes, it is important to take advice from professionals you trust
and who are where you want to be, and to read their eBooks and what not. But it
is much more important to actually get out there and do it
yourself. Guru's can point they way, but they can't give you experience. To be
successful at internet marketing, it takes focus, concentration, and especially
practice.
Just like using a clutch, you will mess up your marketing. You may gun it, and
offer your customers a product that would've sold better had you waited. You
might pick a product you are not really qualified to market. Whatever it is, be
it headlines, sales copy, product placement -- you
will get it wrong some of the time. But the more you practice marketing, the
more you read about people who are doing it correctly and effectively, the more
you write and rewrite, the better you will get.
Eventually, you will develop a "sixth-sense" of what is good or bad -- marketing
will become second nature to you.
Most people are looking for the easy way out. That's why "get-rich quick"
schemes are selling so well (and ruining it for us legitimate netizens, damn
it!). But those people never reach their ultimate goals, because there is no
legitimate, fool-proof quick way -- especially one where you can keep your
conscience clean!
All those who are determined to succeed, who try and try again and do not stop
despite all the obstacles in their
path -- those are the ones that will succeed, guaranteed. You can do anything
you want in life; no one can stop you
but you, and this does include financial independence.
Ask yourself what you really want out of life. Would you rather catch the new
episode of 'Friends,' or spend time strengthening your sales copy? It's easy to
get distracted, but stick to your guns and re-do it for the tenth time. Just
remember, for every time you get something wrong, you are that much closer to
getting it right.
