S’up Losers.

Today I stumbled across some blog entry called “How To Succeed Online” (original title, I know). It’s written by some guy named Doug Champigny – never heard of him, but whatever. Anyway, he actually had a cool bit of writing I wanted to share with ya. Here it is:

And that brings us to the third group, the rarest of the Internet marketing newbies. They’re easy to spot – they’re the ones who seem to come out of nowhere and suddenly land in the ’successful Internet Marketing circles’, not yet big dogs but easily observed to be heading there quickly. If you’ve been ‘playing’ at Internet marketing or making a half-hearted effort for some time now, you’ve probably wondered how they shoot by you so easily…

First, they’re smart – they pay attention to what their coach or mentor tells them, and to what they see of that expert’s current operation. They’re not really interested in how their coach GOT to that lofty position – they intend to skip all the trial & error, all the mistakes and mis-steps their mentor made – and just imitate what actually works!

Secondly, they’re inquisitive. They do their best to understand WHY Internet marketing tactics work, why certain strategies pay off big time while others flop. They watch what the big dogs are doing and, rather than following it blindly, ask their coach or mentor why this Internet marketing hotshot or that super-affiliate is doing what they are, and what they’re liable to achieve from it. Also, whether it’s something they should be incorporating in their own Internet marketing processes.

Thirdly, they’re innovative. They take that new-found knowledge and set up systems that will bring in the bucks, all the while looking for ways to improve the systems, to add in additional income streams and, eventually, to eclipse their coach or mentor. And any coach or mentor worth their salt LOVES that, and brags about that person incessantly… ;)

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they stay focussed and ACTIVE. Not content to just maintain the status quo, they’re constantly looking to improve their Internet marketing processes, acheive Super-Affiliate status and show up on the JV leaderboards, and are CONSTANTLY building their opt-in lists. You see them running giveaways, networking at the social sites and the live internet marketing events whenever they can, and creating products by interviewing those more successful than themselves, knowing it’s a very powerful way to learn from the best while making money at it!

This third group, albeit the smallest fraction of the online world, are still part of today’s newbies. But they are tomorrow’s Big Dogs – and the next day’s Internet marketing superstars, the marketing gurus who pull down millions a year from Internet marketing, affiliate marketing and niche marketing empires others envy so openly. These are tomorrow’s versions of the Stephen Pierces, the Marlon Sanders, the Ken MacArthurs, the Joel Comms, the Rich Schefrens, the Liz Tomeys and the Jimmy D Browns who rule the online world today.

I wanted to highlight this excerpt for a reason.

Most of you losers reading this aren’t like the newbie internet marketer he just described. Chances are, you’ll never be a Big Dog on the internet.

But you know what? Screw ‘em. You don’t have to be a big dog and get “well known.” You just have to MAKE MONEY.

Succeeding online isn’t about gaining recognition, or even building a huge business. It’s about meeting goals you set out for yourself. Screw being a guru. Trust me – you don’t want billions of retards emailing you every day begging for your help. You just want to make some cabbage, am I right???

So set out a goal – $500 a month, $5,000 a month – whatever.

Then, do what you gotta do to achieve that goal.

That’s how you measure success. By figuring out if you’re getting what you want. If you want to be a Big Dog, list that as one of your goals and “grow into” that role. But don’t start off trying to be like that. Just focus on making your first dollar in profit, then go ahead and try and make your goals come true.

That is how you REALLY succeed online.

Later losers,
-RJ
