The key thing about online marketing is this, marketing is a business. Don’t get caught up in the hype and fads lurking around the internet. The basics of marketing are only a part of your business not the business.
Successful running businesses are structured to concentrate on forward moving projects. From the beginning you must build and keep a strategy in place. This is not to say things are carved in stone. It means you run a timeline with deadlines with the understanding that parts are in motion and fluid.
The internet is not in the infant stage anymore. The masses have access and countless numbers of people are able to access the internet now. We have moved beyond the pure newness phase. I am sure I don’t have to tell anyone that business across all fields of the market place are adapting to this new way of communicating. This new era in marketing has an advantage of creating systems which will run on autopilot. There are proven and tested systems already taking shape online.
This is one of the many things I realize during my first session in Alex Jeffreys coaching program. The program title itself “Marketing with Alex: We’re marketing with you and for you …” shows the change. When I was listening to Alex through the first webinar I was doing other things. I remember thinking that I know this! Nothing new so far! Later after soaking in all the information I had the realization that hype and fads were still gripping me. I liked the infant stage and newness of the internet and did not want to give those feeling up. But wait! Hold on! I also realized that I could be a part of this growing phase and have fun and experience this slice of the internet experience.
When I look back to my first post it is pretty funny. I posted of the newbie dream, I didn’t even know what that was, and maybe it was a fog with stardust in the air. Well, not anymore I am ready to start rewiring my thoughts and experience a different lifestyle. Haaaaa, yes I still want to be able to wake up naturally every morning on my schedule.

Hey Julie,
You have done a great job on your blog!
I have been involved in IM for a few years now and still seem to be in the “newbie” stage. I think Alex will help get us beyond that stage.
Congrats on a very well written post. Now I need to go and do some “remodeling on my blog.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Rudi and Gene,
Wow! It’s great when fellow students drop by for a look. Your comments are an excellent motivation
Thomas dropped by on a different post and made a comment about the CAPTCHA plug-in. I know you both went through the CAPTCHA, it’s been removed to make way for a more friendly experience!
Falling forward!
