This Is Why You Should Definitely Start Small! (But Continue To Grow!)
Right now. How does your current marketing or promotional plan initially look on paper? Meaning: Going forward.
Are you going to be utilizing, a combination of paid and free -targeted- traffic generation methods or what? And do you plan to start small right out of the gate? Or are you planning on bursting on to the scene, with some controlled fury?
And speaking of potential paid advertising strategies. To date, “how” many successful paid (PPC) Pay Per Click ad campaigns have you already run? Or “what” about successful solo ad campaigns have you already, successfully run?
And your current or future online sales funnels. How many market tested upsell/add on sale offers will or does it currently have? And ‘what” about your current or future “Thank You” page?
Will it have or does it already have, a successful, low entry sale offer connected to it? One which you already have some mathematical data, to measure it’s current profitability? If not, how soon before you start including some type of extremely low, (market tested), initial front end, “OTO’ (One Time Only) offer to the front end of your online sales funnel process?
Just a few vitally important things to think about. Don’t you agree?
For Sure There Are Definitely Some Major Potential Benefits To Initially Starting Small! (Don’t You Agree?)
Case in point. One of the all too common occurrences, which initially trip up, far too many, aspiring online entrepreneurs. Basically it’s two initial things.
1.) First: More times than not. They tend to grossly under estimate, what it’s really gonna take, to (not only), initially learn, the proven online, marketing fundamentals.
And as they gradually start to “discover” how much real, continuous effort and real world knowledge, (not to mention), real bankable skills are needed to make a go of things.
Their initial enthusiasm, slowly starts to evolve into a simmering frustration. Because the “get rich click”,mentally, quickly gives way to reality. And suddenly, they realize, they won’t be steadily earning $10,000 dollars per month or more. Any time soon. Hello.
2.) Second: They also tend to initially- grossly- over value, the current, bankable online skills they already have. Or will definitely need to start developing and continuously honing, in order to consistently generate, either a full or part time income online.
They initially come out of the gate totally on fire and incredibly passionate. That is, until they quickly “discover”, passionate alone, is not gonna pay the rent.
And trying to go from ex – employee, (whose) never ever run any type of profit generating business or service. To successful online marketer, whose consistently earning a full or part time income.
They’re shocked, was they start to fully recognize and appreciate. What they don’t know. And just “how” much they have to learn. Or at least, get semi familiar with.
It’s Definitely An Incredibly Tough Road Ahead When You Definitely Don’t Know What You Don’t Know! (You Know!)
Say for example. You plan on selling your very own products and services, from your own, self hosted, state of the art WordPress website and or blog.Are you going to attempt to build your very first website totally from scratch?
If so. How much time are you going to allocate to learning WordPress? Thirty – ninety days or longer. And which paid host will you ultimately settle on and why?
What specific criterion will you utilize, to help finalize your decision. Or maybe you’ve decided to outsource the task of building your WordPress site. Good for you BTW.
Since You’re Definitely Gonna Need Additional Tools And Resources! (Where Do You Plan On Initially Getting Them From?)
But now, (of course) the $64,000 dollar question, quickly becomes. Who and where or how do you find them relatively quickly? And once yo do. Will you have your own merchant account setup, so you can process orders on your site, 24/7.
Or will you initially rely on a service like PayPal or Stripe? And do you plan on initially having and paying any affiliates to help you steadily increase your sales?
And “if” you are going to offer a reputable affiliate program of some kind. Which reputable software will you initially start out with, to get your affiliate program set up?
And BTW, since you’re definitely going to be marketing, promoting and selling your totally awesome products and services directly from your website or blog. Right?
Which reputable, paid autoresponder service, will you at least initially start out with? And what specific criterion have or will you use, to help you make your final decision?
And speaking of your ongoing list building process. Will you strictly be attempting to build your opt in email list, from some type of, (hopefully!) market tested sign up form on your website or blog?
Or will you create or pay to have some create, a separate lead capture page of some kind. And will you, or someone else, (whose hopefully qualified!) create it using WordPress?
Or will you be using another paid software like OptimizePress? Just a few things and issues to seriously consider. And all the more reasons, to start small. Until you’ve had a chance to get your feet wet.Don’t you agree?
