Consistency Leads To Success

Internet marketing is a unforgiving business and getting side tracked is
almost inevitable. I have often found myself searching and wondering around
the internet when I should be concentrating on my business' everyday
operation. Everyone who runs their own business on the internet should
always make a list of day to day things they need to accomplish. Here's a
few things I do on a daily basis to make sure that my business grows.

Getting in the right frame of mind

Starting off my day on the right foot is imparitive to my success. Like the
title suggests "consistency leads to success". If I get off track then
minutes and hours are lost and everyone knows time is money. Everyday is a
challenge, some days are better than others in that you have more sales. Its
the days that you don't see a single sale that is the real kicker and these
are the days you have to tell yourself that you will never give up. The
reason 95% of internet marketers fail is because of this reason. They think
they can instantly make riches on the internet and when they don't make
money right away they quit and move on to something else. I can honestly
tell you that it takes hard work and consistency on a daily basis to make
money online. So everyday I get it into my head that failure is not an
option and that I won't become part of the ever growing statistic.

Blogging and Pinging

Everyone knows that having a blog to help promote your business is a must.
Even better is to self host your blog on your own server as a subdomain of
your main website. Keeping traffic on your site is a crucial point in making
sales online. Once you have a blog set up you should make posts to it
everyday for the first while to build up the content. Search engines love
fresh new content and in order to get the search engines crawling on your
site you should have alot of content for them to devour.
Once you have done this then post every other day or at least 2 to 3 times
per week. Remember to ping the posts you make each and everytime you post
something new. For pinging services I use Pingoat.com, Pingomatic.com and
Ipings.com

Article Submission

Article Marketing is nothing new to the internet but most people will tell
you that its a great way to get traffic and one way back links. Once you
learn how to write informative and good content its a good idea to get your
thoughts out to the world and this is what article marketing is. Article
directories ar a dime a dozen on the internet and from just one submission
to a directory could potentially get you thousands of vistors and one way
back links. What are one way back links you might ask? Well basically its an
incoming link to your website.
Most article directories allow you have an author box, resource box or bio
box and this is where you tell the reader about you or where they can get
more info about what you have wrote. When putting a link to your website in
the "author box" you should always try to anchor it in keywords that relate
to your site.

Generally I write 1 or 2 articles per week and submit them to about 450
article directories. I do use article submission software which makes the
task much easier. To use the same submitter software I use visit my site and
get it for free. The submitter comes with 450+ article directories you can
program onto the submitter.

Participating in Forums

I have to admit that since joining a few forums my business and knowledge of
internet marketing has growen immensely. At first I just read everything I
could and learned from all the people on the forum. When I had something to
say that was informative and helpful I made a post. When you make a post to
a topic it should help the person who made the original post and unless you
have something to contribute you should not post at all. If you have a
question or something you wish to discuss then make a post and someone will
most likely help you out. Basically I use forums to learn about internet
marketing and get answers to questions I have. Remember the saying "you
learn something new everyday", well this is why I go and participate in
forums. To find some well known forums to join enter "Forums" into your
favorite search engine.

Directory Submission

I regularly use directory submission software to increase the amount of back
links to my website. In order to rank well in the search engines one must
increase his/her link popularity.
The more incoming links to your website means that your site is important
and thus search engines rank it higher. To get the software I use visit my
website below.

By being consistent you will achieve your goals. Make a list of things you
need to do and stick to it at all cost. It just could be the difference
between success and failure.
