11 Core Truths That Made thousands of Internet Marketers Successful

By: Aleksandra Walters

1. Successful internet business = work. Don’t kid yourself, you will have to work. The upside of it is, it happens at your own schedule. The amount of effort put into it depends only on you, but the results are reciprocal with the effort as well.

2. You will have more time off, but don’t count on 3-4 hour working days. Successful internet marketers work a lot more then 3-4 hours a day. One of the reasons is because they love what they do and it does not seem like hard work to them. They enjoy it. On the days I work, I pull 10-12 hour days, but I love every minute of it too. Yes, you can do this part time, but don’t be surprised when you get “part-time’’ results back. It all depends on what you want out of it.

3. You don’t have to have your own product to start. There are many ways you can make money on the internet marketing someone else’s products. They will do all the inventory stuff, all the shipping stuff, all the invoicing stuff, all the customer service and return stuff…All you need to do is find the buyers. No inventory, no staff, no office rent…a heaven.

4. You don’t have to have any internet experience to start. There are millions of articles, books, DVDs, CDs, lectures, seminars, courses, webinars, coaches, mentors, and sponsors that can help you. The question is, which are you going to pick? Which will appeal to you? And which will bring you the greatest results?

5. Online profit is realistic to expect in a relatively short period of time. But do keep in mind; in general, the big success comes 3-5 years down the line. Those stories you hear about becoming an internet mogul over night in the company they just joined - they are true, BUT for those who have already conquered the learning curve of online advertising, sponsoring, coaching, and creating success in their team members. So they might become successful over night in SOME particular opportunity, but AFTER they have put in many hours of learning this business usually somewhere else. Those “details” are usually not mentioned to the public. The key is to choose the right sponsor and that does not necessarily mean the sponsor has to be successful already today. Let that sink in for a minute.

6. A successful sponsor DOES NOT = your success. There are successful sponsors who will not share it all with you. There are successful sponsors who will not have time for everybody on the team. There are successful sponsors who don’t want to work any more after a certain point. On the other hand, there are many great successful sponsors out there who would do anything to help you. Mine is like that. But that is not the case with all. There are also many new or in the process of becoming successful sponsors, who are being mentored by another great sponsor. They are eager to create mega success, and therefore might go the extra mile to make that happen in record time, AND they are willing to take you with them in the process – not a bad combination at all.

7. It’s not any different than going to a vocational school. You have to learn something you did not know before, go out there apply it; and in turn, you gain more value in the online marketplace, which with time, brings you more money.

8. Your family and your friends, unless you are VERY lucky, will be very suspicious of your future success. Chances are they will try on more than one occasion to talk you out of it; one way, or the other. They do not understand the rules of success on the internet. If they did, they’d be making money on the internet themselves. Model the successful in online business, not those who are not.

9. The less you’re involved and the more the system does it for you, the less of a value you give to your prospects. Let me elaborate on that. If the system does everything, and truthfully I have not seen a system yet that does everything, and you do not contribute to the well being and building success in others, the less a prospect needs YOU to sign up with. If the premise is that the system does it all, and you just oversee, do not contribute, and distribute knowledge and experience, then it won’t make any difference to your prospect if he/she signs up with you or the next sponsor. YOU have to make the difference to that prospect. That is the ONLY ticket to success.

10. There has to be follow up. Either you follow up with your prospects, or you pay someone to follow up with your prospects. But you leave the prospects without the contact from you; they will fall prey to another sponsor who won’t make the same mistake as you did.

11. The more you know, the more valuable to the marketplace you are. The truth holds in no matter what field you are in. The same is true for the internet marketplace. If you think you’ve learned all there is, and you’re done with reading books, listening to the CDs, watching DVDs, attending courses and seminars, you may as well pack up and go home. You either keep advancing, or you will get run over by the competition. Again, your choice.

Isn’t this just a phenomenal thing, this internet biz? You get to pick the schedule, amount of time and effort, you get to draw the start and finish line on everything you get involved with. And it’s like a snowball. Once it gets going, it’s impossible to stop it. Beautiful…just beautiful…

Happy sponsoring!

To YOUR ultimate success,
