In regard to making money on the
Internet, everyone is always looking for the quick fix. They want to
sign up for a program, place an advertisement, and make hundreds or
thousands of dollars instantly. While this may be possible depending on
your circumstances, the most direct and guaranteed path to success on
the Internet is to stick with the fundamentals.
A friend of mine who is an athletic
coach for kids in the city where I live reminded me of this lesson.
This guy is actually so passionate about kids and athletics that he
coaches 4 different sports: basketball, soccer, baseball and football.
Of course, he has a kid of his own on each team. But what is remarkable
about this guy is the results he gets with his teams.
He was recruited to coach the 8th grade
football team where his children go to school. After 27 years of losing
seasons in a row, the first year my friend became the head coach the
team won the district championship and repeated their championship run
the following year. This past weekend he coached 12 different games and
won all 12 of them. As you can tell, this guy is extremely dedicated.
But the funny thing is that he and the
kids he coaches are not totally hung up on winning. If they lose a
game, they feel equally good about themselves as they would if they had
won. What matters most to them is how well they played and lived up to
their potential as a team.
The real question is how my friend's
teams continually perform on such a high level and beat nearly anyone
they play even though they are often smaller and younger than their
competitors. I asked this question to my friend the other day and he
told me that it's all in the fundamentals.
In his practices, all he works on with
his kids is keeping a positive mindset and practicing the fundamentals.
He told me that his teams never scrimmage or strategize about upcoming
games during practice. They simply work hard on all the fundamentals of
whatever particular sport they are playing and do so more than any
other team they play. This constant practice and improvement of the
fundamentals is what allows his teams to progress faster than his
competitors. While most other teams get caught up with how to win,
out-strategize, be stronger than and intimidate their opponents, my
friend's team is just so good at the basics that they blow everyone out
of the water when game day arrives.
This got me thinking about my own
Internet business and why I've been able to succeed on such a high
level while most others who have tried to do what I do have failed. The
answer is not really surprising.
Most people who try to build a
successful Internet home business are looking for the quick fix. They
want it to work IMMEDIATELY and so they usually fall prey to business
opportunities that promise to help them get rich overnight and
advertising scams that promise to deliver thousands of hungry prospects
to their website in the next 24 hours. Of course, these opportunistic
schemes are really just geared to steal people's hard earned money. You
see, when someone is desperate and looking for an INSTANT solution,
they will often be taken advantage of and their chances for success
with an Internet home business are slim to none.
However, while there are thousands of
business opportunities on the Internet and millions of different ways
to advertise and promote your website, I personally practice the
fundamentals in my Internet home business. I do this by sticking with
the business opportunities I've joined for the long haul and promoting
my website consistently with simple, affordable and easily maintained
Internet marketing techniques.
In fact, one of the techniques that
works best for me is writing articles like this one and getting them
published on other people's websites using article syndication tools
and software found online.
By writing articles and getting them
published on other websites online using powerful tools like those
mentioned above, I'm able to get my name and website address in front
of thousands of people without paying a dime in advertising. Of course,
the key to this strategy is that I write and distribute articles
consistently in this way. It's one of those "fundamentals" that doesn't
cost anything but a little time and effort. Fact is, it's this price of
time and effort that most people are unwilling to pay. They'll gladly
part with hundreds or even thousands of dollars, but ask them to do a
little hard work and they say "No way."
It's this understanding that can
separate you from the pack. If you are willing to practice the
fundamentals of your business faithfully and consistently, you will be
destined to succeed on a high level. But if you can't and you're only
looking for the quick fix, you have already lost the game before you
even set foot on the field.
Even pros like me practice the
fundamentals every day. In fact, especially pros like me practice the
fundamentals. The moment I stop practicing the fundamentals is the
moment I stop being a pro. Think about this carefully and then renew
YOUR commitment to the fundamentals of your Internet home business
today. Do this and you will soar past your competition.
