4 Tips For Starting An Online Internet Marketing Business

Countless people are turning to the web everyday as a means of making money. There are a lot of opportunities to be had for those willing to reach for them. But while you may have the motivation to build an internet marketing company, you may not have the knowledge required. It can be a pretty daunting task, starting your business.

You may think starting an internet business is easier, but you would actually be wrong. You still have to put in a lot of time and effort, and even some money. The real advantage of starting an online business is that you do not require thousands of dollars to do it, and if you really work at it you can only spend a few dollars a month. The other benefit is that once it is set up and making money, it is fairly easy to manage.

The reason most people do not do this is because they simply can not get over that initial hurdle. It takes a long time and a lot of dedication to make money, and people just give up or poke at it a little and never really do any real work.

If you are ready and willing to put in the effort, then these tips should give you a place to start.

1: Patience. I really can not emphasize this enough and even though I have already mentioned it, it deserves it's own tip. If you are looking to start an internet marketing company, you need to understand that it is not some magical entity that will make you tons of cash overnight. It is an actual business and it will require a lot of time and hard work before you start seeing any returns.

2: Figuring out a niche. With the warning out of the way, here is a real tip to help you get started. Finding a niche, basically finding what you want to specialize in. Every company has their product, what is yours? Odds are that since you are looking into internet marketing, you will want to sell your services in helping other people market their business. If that is not the case, then look around to see what kind of service or product you do want to offer.

3: Build your website. Once you have figured out what you plan to sell, you need to set up a website. This can all be done freely (except for the domain name) if you are willing to put in the work. However if you have some money to spare and do not feel like bothering with this, you can hire professionals to build your website for you.

4: Marketing. Once you have the website of your internet marketing company set up, you need to market yourself. As I often say, you can have the best business in the world but if nobody knows it exists, you will not make any money. This can be a rather lengthy procedure and just like with website building you can outsource it if you want or you can do it all yourself.

These tips should give you an idea of where to start, but ultimately you will have to do a lot more research to learn details in order to effectively run your internet business.

Small Business First Quarter Review

One fourth of the year is almost over.  How are you doing in meeting your goals?  How are you doing compared to your budget? Goals and budgets aren't just for big businesses.

Big businesses put tremendous effort into creating detailed budgets and detailed goals each year and checking their progress against them monthly and quarterly.  Investors eagerly await the announcement of quarterly earnings and stock prices jump up or down based on the results.  They go to all this expense and trouble for only one real reason.  It works.

Big businesses very seldom wander from the tried and true.  They set goals, budget and compare to their budgets frequently because successful businesses before them did it.  I’m not saying that you have to have goals and a budget to be successful, but it sure does increase your chances of success.  That’s also why you are reading this.  To help increase your chances of success.  So here’s your tip of the week.

If you don’t have goals and a budget, stop what you are doing and create them.  If you do have goals and a budget, stop and take a look at them.  Ask yourself the following questions:

How have you done so far this year? 

Are you awesome or average? 

What can you tell from your results? 

What’s working and what’s not? 

Where could you use some help? 

What successes can you leverage? 

Now is the time to start looking at what adjustments you need to make to continue your successes or cut your losses. It’s also a good time to revise your estimates for the rest of the year.  Don’t stop at just revising the numbers.  Now is the time to revise your action plan too.  Where do you need to step up your action and where do you need to cut back?  Again look at what’s working and what’s not.  Don’t have an action plan?  Now would be a good time to create one.  Goals and business plans only get you so far.  An action plan is what makes your goals and budgets work.

Does this all sound like a lot of work?  I’m sure it does, but it is time and effort that will pay itself back tenfold.  Knowing where you want to go and then comparing regularly is the only way to assure yourself you’ll get to where you want to be.

How To Use Instagram Hash Tags Like A Hustler

How to use Instagram Hash Tags, Like a Hustler!

Part of your social media marketing campaign is about correctly  using the tools that the particular social media platform has set in place. On Instagram , many business owners are posting pictures, but may be missing out on their target audience.

One of Instagrams greatest marketing tools is the use of the #Hashtag. An Instagram Hashtag is a highly targeted tag , or a keyword . Hash tags help you find targeted people to follow and vice versa.

Here are a few tips to help you use Instagram Hash tags like a Hustler:

Be specific and relevant.

You see the picture above? That's my  3 month old son, Mitch. Mitch is my business partner here at Hustlenomics 101.  If I posted this photo to Instagram I would post more than just #Baby .We know that he is a baby but what is this picture about and what message am I trying to send? Think about your pictures message and what the image portrays.

To get my message across to my target audience using hashtags I'd probably make a post like this:

"Hey everyone this is my #BusinessPartner Mitchell. He is my 3 months old #baby and is a #YoungEntreprenuer / #Entrepreneur .  He will be #Hosting a #BakeSale at 123 Penny Lane on #Saturday.  - #Cookies #Cakes #Pastries #Event #CHARITY "

The Hastags are added to the tag page. If you click on any hash tags you will be sent to that tag page and will see who else posted about the same topic , and how many times that specific hash tag was generated.

Observe.

If you clicked on the hash tag "entrepreneur" and clicked on any picture under that tag, you are more than likely to find another tag used to describe "entrepreneur"  and you should add those keywords to your arsenal as well. ( if it applies of course.)

 FYI:

 - If you are a private user, which you shouldn't be as a business, your tags will not appear publicly on the tag pages.

-You can only tag your own posts.

- You can only have up to 30 #hashtags on a single post. If you make more than 30 #Hastags your comment / blurb / caption will not post.

- If you forget a hash tag just add one to the comment section of your post. Instagram doesn't let you edit a post so if your adamant about having it in your message, delete the picture and re post it.

Apply.

Now that you know the benefits of Instagram hash tags for your business , start adding them to your Instagram campaign. Remember they must be relevant and specific to be beneficial to your readers. Now you are on your way to generating thousands of real followers for free!

Thanks for reading hustler!

Your Net Worth Relies On Your Network

Your Net Worth Relies on Your Network

What is a network?

• Networking is a process that enriches us professionally & helps us reach new levels of accomplishments. It brings people together to provide support , structure , and skill strategies necessary to build on ideas and actions. Networking is an opportunity to gain SHARED experience.

What is net worth?

• Net worth refers to an individual's net economic position; similarly, it uses the value of all assets (long term assets) minus the value of all liabilities.

Take a minute to really think about what I am about to ask you. I want you to be 100% honest with yourself.

"What have you learned about yourself by studying the friends you attract?"

- Napoleon Hill ( Think and Grow Rich )

Are you accepting the wrong type of people , i.e. : unmotivated, talentless, broke , uneducated , negative , etc? If so, how are they helping you as an individual? At the end of the day birds of a feather flock together. You are who you hang with and these type of friends will not get you far.

Think about your goals & think about your happiness. Who is NOT meeting your standards? Who is not aligned with your vision? Do not adapt to that mentally poor environment. Believe it or not the people you are around or are attracted to influence your thought process.

Its time to remove these negative influences from your circle, your social networks , your phone or where ever they are located. They have got to go.

Once you remove these types of people its time to pick new teammates for your winner circle.

To do this, you are going to surround yourself with assets and not liabilities, because you are the sum of your influences! Your strongest safety nets on this earth are your SKILLS and your NETWORK!

When meeting new people do not be close minded because you feel they do not have "celebrity value" or are not well known! There are MANY undiscovered geniuses out there right now.

The problem with CLOSED minded people is that their mouths are always OPEN. You cannot learn if you do not listen. Everyone does not know everything , so learn to be quiet and you may find yourself in a higher position in life.

In closing, having a progressive network will not only add value to your business but can multiply your money. Choose your inner circle wisely. In a future post I will discuss HOW to network efficiently to meet the connects of a lifetime.

5 Marketing Productivity Tips For Busy Entrepreneurs

So you quit your 9 to 5 just to work ALL DAY for yourself. Congratulations. Your hustle wont go unnoticed.

Now you have become your own team and you are a jack of all trades. You can go on twitter and state that you're currently #Hustling. Go ahead and Hash tag #Hustlenomics101 too, for good measure.

Between all you have to do in a day such as servicing clients, managing products, telephone calls , emails , changing diapers ... ( Okay changing diapers is me, but you know... such is life?)  it may feel as if you do not have time to execute your marketing plan / strategy. Is it okay to set your plan aside for a while?


While marketing may seem like an unnecessary activity for entrepreneurs who are booked with clients or whose products are flying off the shelf, it is. Marketing is essential in terms of you meeting your monthly , quarterly and yearly goals. The economy changes in the bat of an eye. Don't be that guy ( or girl ) who didn't market and is now waiting for google to catch your drift because your money will drift away too.

I'm going to help you avoid repeating entries on your planner that you copied over from last week. Lets try to be more proactive, okay?

Here are five things that I personally do and recommend to all my clients.

(1) If you haven't already, create a marketing calendar. Schedule all of your marketing activities in the calendar according to how frequently you planned to do them in your marketing plan.

If you planned to do something monthly, enter it on the calendar once each month. Weekly? Enter it four times per month. Do this for every planned activity.

(2) Hang your marketing calendar over your desk on a bulletin board or on the wall. Make a habit of looking at it every morning. This way you won't have the problem of "out of site out of mind."

I can't tell you how many clients I've had whose marketing plans have ended up in a file folder in a drawer. You're certainly NOT going to grow your business that way!

(3) Try incorporating your marketing activities into your weekly and daily to-do list. Enter the activities as to-do tasks in your calendar or tablet just like all your appointments and other business activities.

I do this with all my marketing activities. I use Microsoft Outlook and a tablet and it's the only way I know I'll keep myself on track. If something is on my calendar, I treat it like any other meeting or appointment and I do it.

For example, every Friday, a little notice pops up to remind me to write my weekly newsletter. If that didn't happen I'd either be writing it on Tuesday's at midnight, or it wouldn't get done.

(4) Pick one day per month to review your marketing calendar in detail and to look three months ahead. What is coming up that you need to prepare for now? What do you need to transfer into your to-do list or tablet to make sure you don't forget to do it?

I usually do this at the end of the month when I'm doing all my month-end work ... things like running sales reports, doing billing, and updating my marketing tracking reports.

Make it a habit to review your marketing at the same time you do these tasks. After a few months you won't even have to think about it anymore, it'll become a habit.

(5) Consider hiring an assistant or support person to help. If they can take some of the tasks off your plate that really don't require your expertise, it will free you up to focus on what I call "revenue producing activities".

These are things like working with clients, creating products and services and marketing. I couldn't believe the difference it made when I hired some help.

I didn't think I could afford it, but now I don't see how I lasted so long without help!

When you find a way to get back on track with your marketing and you do it on regular basis, it really does become a part of the way you do business.

Suddenly it doesn't seem like marketing anymore. It's just what you do to run your business. That's when it becomes effortless.

And, that's when you know your business will be continue to be busy and profitable for the long-haul.
