So have you ever heard or read that famous quote from the famed Spanish Philosopher George Santayana, which reads“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it?”
It’s a really (academically) dressed up way to say very eloquently, that (A.) Either you learn from your own mistakes!
Or (B.) You learn from someone else’s mistakes, or you’ll constantly keep making and paying for making the same mistakes!
Ah yes, the effective use of time management.
And since (without a doubt), we all constantly make mistakes!Right?
“Why” not learn something of value from doing so!As that (my friend) is the basis for this particular post.
Because you are about to be exposed to three all too common (online) marketing mistakes, you constantly see online newbie marketers making!
And “how to” correct them!So that you don’t continually waste a vast majority of your extremely valuable time online, simply spinning your wheels and constantly finding yourself totally frustrated and broke!
And constantly wondering “why” you’re not making any real progress!Fair enough?
So Who Else Wants To Discover The Effective Time Management Secrets Of Highly Successful Entrepreneurs?
First of all, its really no secret per se!The super successful entrepreneurs among us, they just consistently do a vast majority of things differently than most of do! Correct?
And therefore over time, you start to notice a dramatic difference in their overall results!In fact, to simply boil it down to the following three things (if you will!)
Here are three extremely simple things the super successful entrepreneurs (both) know and totally understand!And more times than not, they get right and unfortunately, far too many aspiring newbies simply don’t!
1.) The first thing super successful entrepreneurs totally understand and get right: All of your social media marketing activities, are nothing more than effective spokes in your long term marketing wheel!
It’s a spoke!It’s not(and should not) be your main hub!Or wheel!Meaning: “if” you spend 80% or more of your total marketing efforts, advertising/marketing on the various “free” social media platforms, like twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook Instagram and or Pinterest etc.
Successful Entrepreneurs Understand Why It’s Vitally Important To Always Maintain A Certain Amount Of Control!
Newsflash! Entrepreneur, you or I do not own those platforms!Which means, they can and do routinely change their rules of engagement (and or), unfortunately, so many users get their accounts permanently shutdown altogether!
That’s “why” the super successful online marketers, all have at least one primary (mobile responsive), self hosted WordPress blog, (a main online hub if you will), where their online visitors can connect with them, any time they want!Their wheel!
And as long as they pay their monthly and or annual web hosting bill,And don’t consistently break any of the rules, they are in virtually no danger of being inadvertently shutdown!
Two More Extremely Critical Things The Successful Entrepreneurs Do That Most Online Newbie Marketers Do Not!
2.) The second thing super successful entrepreneurs totally understand and get right: Far too many online newbie marketers love to sell!
And they absolutely love to sell!Did I mention they absolutely love to sell?But here’s “what” a staggering number of them, hate and or have very little real interest in doing on a regular basis!
They hate attempting to build stable long term relationships! Huh?
They do not want to and or seem at all committed and or equipped to deal with pro-active, long term relationship building!They (more times) than not, seem far more interested in the microwave marketing approach!
That is to say, slap up a fancy PPC (Pay Per Click) ad campaign of some kind and drive their paid traffic to a sales page of some kind, (and hopefully) sell somebody something!
Then simply move on!Major mistake!
Successful Entrepreneurs On Or Offline always Generate And Maintain Their Very Own In House Databases! (And So Should You!)
3.) The third thing super successful entrepreneurs totally understand and get right: This last extremely critical point sort of piggybacks off of # one.
Along with spending way too much time, online promoting your extremely valuable products and services all over the various social media platforms, that were previously mentioned.
Newbies, as opposed to (the super successful entrepreneurs) among us, actually spend very little time, building their one true online asset!
Which is their very own opt in email/mobile marketing list(s.) Which means, above all else every aspiring online newbie, definitely needs a state of the art, industry respected, paid email service provider of some kind!
That way, you can continually build the all important credibility with your very own opt in email list/mobile marketing list. No matter “if” all your social media accounts get shutdown or not!
These Proven Success Tips Can And Definitely Should Be Implemented As Quickly And Often As Possible!
Anytime you want to communicate with your subscribers, you can! And that’s powerful and potentially profitable!More times than not (ladies & gentlemen), if you peel back the onion and have a really closer look!
You’ll quickly discover,the vast majority of the super successful online marketers, (at least the ones) that consistently earn six figures a year or more!Which means, make effective time management a non negotiable priority!
They consistently do the three critically important things that were just laid out, (and sadly), most of the time, aspiring newbie marketers simply do not!Any questions?
Now as is customary during this part of our show.

On point as always Mark! And there are a surprising number of bloggers who’ve been around the block a time or two who don’t bother with such things as relationship building either. Not long ago I subscribed to a newsletter of a well known blogger/author and received no less than half a dozen pitches before I ever saw the first newsletter which turned out to be nothing more than links to recent posts and – yes – more pitches! Really amazing, but also a good lesson. Thanks for the great tips and inspiration.

Wow M!LOL!
You make that entire situation sound like one of those cyber dates from hell!LOL!
Meaning, you meet someone local online first. And decide to meet offline and they quickly turn
out be primarily interested in only pursuing the potential physicality o a relationship
and nothing more!LOL!
Only it doesn’t become painfully obvious, until that very first, face to face date!LOL!
But unfortunately I know exactly where you’re coming from!
For some (sadly), it’s all about the Benjamin’s!LOL!

Hi Mark-
Another great post. I agree sometimes new bloggers/website owners get so into the social side, they forget to build the main ‘wheel’ as you put it.
The only thing I am trying to ‘sell’ is myself and in the above board way lol.
I always enjoy reading your words of wisdom.,

You’re too awesome and way too kind Becky!
I can feel my head starting to swell!LOL!
Thanks so much!You really do an awesome job BTW!
And you really should seriously consider start a multi tier coaching program
of some kind, where you Coach/Mentor the three levels of newbies!
That being, beginners, Intermediates and advanced!Because you’re already where they’re
desperately trying to get!
And you already know where all the major minefields are!LOL! And they don’t!Think
about it, you already know what to anticipate and how to effectively
evaluate the various programs and their compensation packages!
They on the other hand, have no clue!Look how much extremely valuable
time you can save the!LOL!
Don’t sell your self short!Seriously!!
