Study Other Businesses : Non stop learning curve.
Yesterday I talked about studying and evolving your business to another level. Like I explained you have to be student of marketing as long as you live. So today I am going to give you some ideas on how to study other marketers.
Study very carefully how successful people online operate.
1) Sign up or Join things online for the soul purpose of learning from them. You may not necessarily need the product or services offered, but you are curious about how they do that! This can include newsletters, memberships and other programs.
There have been many times, I bought the product or joined a website only because I wanted to know more about sales process. (Oh Yeah, there are some great marketers beyond internet marketing niche, if you ever found one then there’s good opportunity to learn from them)
2) Study Sales Pages and Copy. How are they designed and set up? Not all of them are effective; concentrate on the ones that are. Start what’s called a “Swipe File” where you keep ideas for sales pages… The structure of sales pages are not copyrighted. Just the content is…
Here are how you should find sales pages.
Try out www.earlytorise.com and check out their ads (in the newsletter)
Find some good copywriters and check out their resume (Portfolio) you’ll find tons of good stuff there…
If an ad generates a response from you… it might be good for swiping it for later.
3) Watch people in forums… the people running the joint. I almost fell of my chair the other day when I saw the moderator of a forum come in post and draw attention to a batch of products without anyone suspecting a thing…
This is just the tip of the iceburg, but you get the idea. Just train yourself to recognize or look out for these things. You should learn not only what people are teaching you to do, but more importantly study what people are doing!
Places like Sitepoint.com or warriorforum.com are great places to start out with. But again like I said earlier, Don’t stick to marketing theme. There are tons of other markets with some great marketers… study them…
And not even the Gurus… If you see someone was successful at something or had an idea that worked, try to discover the why and how.
I also suggest picking up some sales books that can teach you these techniques… not from gurus or the online world.
I suggest Robert Ciadlini’s Influence : Science and Practice. This is great book on understanding others..

Where to go after now?
First place is this blog, well its obvious. Second, Always Think of growing. Think of growing yourself, your business. I don’t remember who said this.. but its the truth I believe in
“If you are not growing You are dying..”
Learn more ways to market.
Learn more ways to sell.
Learn more ways to research
Learn more ways to leverage your assets.
But here’s the caution.
Don’t go on a learning streak… Learn something, use it, apply it, own it, master it… It’s about doing One thing right… Then adding more right things in your business or yourself (self development). You can read more about it “Missing Ingredient to Your Success”
This is secret of practicing martial arts. You have to learn a technique, Repeat many times and implement it against different opponents and Only then you’ll be able to Own it. Same can be said about Marketing and business.
Things will get easier as you progress…
As you start implementing all these steps and methods I discussed in last 30 days. You’ll find its getting easier. You might think Niche research is hard or creating products is hard… You’d surprised how easier it’ll get after you have done it few times…
Every effort you put into, will produce better results… Its really pleasant feeling…
Of course you’d screw up few times… Every one does… Heck I bet most top marketers are still making more mistakes than all of us can do (that’s why they are making more money than us)
That’s the secret… Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Ahhh… who I am kidding, I still get unnerving pressure when I am about to launch my product or blog or anything, but I still do it…
Well, keep up with this blog as I have lots of stuff to discuss. Some tidbits from here and some from there, things that’ll help you get more traffic, create more connections and build internet business for yourself…
