Internet Marketing Tips - Stop Being Such A Cheap Skate
By Steven Wagenheim
Occasionally, I like to write articles that bring me lots complaints. Why? Because I thrive on it. Nothing like getting the old dander up, I always say. Well, if you read this article through to the end, you'll find out just how much of a cheap skate you may or may not be. I have no doubt that the flood of emails and comments I will get from this piece will be considerable and vocal. Give me your best shot.
If you want to be a successful Internet marketer and run a real business...not just sell some stuff...then you can't be a cheap skate. And trust me, I was one for a very long time. I'll be the first to admit it. Know where it got me? It got me absolutely nowhere. I was just about making the poverty level with my Internet income. That's certainly not what I call being successful.
Okay, so what exactly should you be spending your money on? Certainly there are things that you can live without. However, there are some things that many marketers either seek out cheap solutions for or flat out don't use at all. I'm going to give you a few examples.
Autoresponders are a perfect example. I can't even begin to stress how important it is to build your list, especially your list of buyers. These are people who are most likely going to buy from you again, especially if they liked your first product. If you lose track of these folks, you're losing money. And yet, so many marketers either don't use autoresponders or they go for the real cheap or free ones. Let me tell you, as far as delivery rate goes, you get what you pay for. Dig into your wallet and spend the money on a good autoresponder like Aweber or GetResponse. You'll be thankful that you did.
Another thing is web hosting. So many marketers go for free hosting. Free hosting has so many limitations that there is no way you can build a successful business with it. Again, pull out that credit card and plunk down $20 a month for a great hosting package. And as your business expands, get yourself a dedicated server for $200 a month. Your bottom line will thank you in the long run.
I could give you many more examples, but I think you got the point. If you're going to run a successful business online, especially in the area of actual marketing, you have to spend money. Adwords is probably the most efficient way to bring people to your site. Yes, it costs money, but there is no better way to bring massive amounts of traffic to your business.
So stop being such a cheap skate.
Run a REAL business.
To YOUR Success,
