Who Has Time For That?
Many online business owners are just guessing and shooting in the dark. They have no plan about what content they’ll create, products to promote, or any of the information that they need to forge ahead to create a successful online business. But, it doesnít really have to be that way. You can use data and information to stop guessing and know what works to build an online business that is successful.

Many entrepreneurs have gone before you and figured out how things work, so that you don’t have to reinvent the darned wheel. You can follow what other successful online entrepreneurs have done and become successful doing it. Plus, you can learn about the tools you need to determine if what you’re doing is working.
* Understand Your Audience – If you don’t know who your audience is and who you want to work with, it will be difficult to make an impact online. Many people think the product comes first, but the truth is, it’s better if your audience is picked before the product for better marketing success.
* Solve Problems – If you focus on solving problems for your audience, you’ll make better products and services that they really want. This will work better than making a product and trying to find the audience.  Not sure what your people need? Ask them.
* Promote Your Products-When you create or find a product your audience needs, itís important to spend time and money promoting the product to your audience. You can promote via sales pages, social media, blog posts and more.
* Build Traffic –One way to promote is to build traffic through good SEO, content, and social media to your website and ultimately your email list in order to market the products and services that you’ve made or discovered.
* Be Consistent – Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to online business marketing. You don’t have to blog seven days a week; you can blog once a week, promote on social media daily, and participate in conversations with your audience.
* Test, Test, Test – Don’t just assume something is working; test it to see if it does. Use different types of content, landing pages, and information to bring traffic and find out what works best.
* Look at the Numbers – Data doesn’t lie. It doesnít matter how much you personally liked a blog post that you wrote if your audience doesn’t like it or didn’t find it. The only things that matter are the activities that resonate with your audience and get results.
* Perfect and Repeat- As you look at the data, you can correct whatís not working, make better what is working, and repeat everything for every marketing campaign that you do. Youíll only get better.
It may take time to understand how everything works together, but don’t try to do it on your own without some guidance. Find someone you respect that has built their online business from the bottom up, and follow their pattern. Do the things they did to become successful and you’ll have more of a chance to achieve the type of success you want and deserve.
