Are you a good Internet Marketer? I am not referring to your skills or your expertise.
Have you got the habits to be a good Internet Marketer? Your habits, good or bad ones, are essential to reach success.
I identify 10 good habits that I consider all good Internet Marketers should have. Do you have them?
- Establish priorities: decide what is first and what comes next. Make a plan according to it.
- Plan: It is often said: "failing to plan, planning to fail". Without the habit of planning you are at the mercy of luck or worse, at the mercy of your competitors.
- Good work organizer: a good Internet Marketer is effective in organizing tasks according to the plan and the main goals.
- Invest in self-development. Read, make questions, learn. Never stop doing this.
-
Listen: create a habit to listen to your audience, to know what they think, feel and want. Always listen first, specially to the ones that depend on you. First, your team. Next, your customers. And do not forget to listen
to your competitors.
- Measure results. What you do... is it working? Track results, but do not obsess with them.
- Care human relationships: Internet Marketing is about relationships, not about making a money machine work (it does not exist). Care every person you work with, every human being that is behind a lead, behind a social media profile, etc.
- Shut down electronic devices: good Internet Marketers understand the importance of disconnecting when Internet and other communications systems are not needed. In other words, have a life outside the Internet.
- Fail. Do things and fail. Fail often. Failure will lead you to the learning the right way of doing things. In Internet Marketing 90% of the success comes from failing and learning. Do not fear fail. Small fails are allies of greater success.
- Believe in yourself. Success is part of this: Wether you think you can, or think you cant, you´re right (Henry Ford). You decide if you can or not. Remember this when the situation becomes harder.
