Before Embarking On Website Promotion

Up until about 4 years ago, I didn't have a clue about the internet and website promotion. I knew the internet had unlimited possibilities and I wanted desperately to have my own web business, but I didn't know what to do. So I decided to be a sponge.

Not being savvy with the internet then, I attended as many talks and workshops as I could on how to build successful web businesses. In the process, I spent thousands of dollars. I read whatever I could get my hands on in my quest to learn how to succeed in internet marketing. I studied whatever I could on effective website promotion. Even today, I'm constantly learning new things.

In the Bible, we are told that if you seek with all your heart, you will find. That's absolutely true. Because of my determination to learn how to have successful online businesses, I've learned so much. I've learned that there are many internet marketing opportunities out there. The important thing is to find a method that suits you. When you do, be disciplined and work at it until you have a good system in place and until you begin to see some returns, no matter how small. Never do things halfway. Website promotion is just a part of the game, albeit a very important part. Work on producing and delivering quality in all areas.

Today, I have several web businesses. There's my art, collectibles and gifts site Cherish Collectibles. Then there's my exquisite sterling silver jewelry with real butterfly wings site Silver Butterfly Jewelry. I also have websites marketing various e-products like e-books, software, and success programs. I also have websites which don't sell anything but simply provide content, and I make money from them too. Of course, it takes a lot of work, and intelligent website promotion.

If you want to succeed at internet marketing, start by having an open mind. Do your research until you find something which you know you can do, and which you will enjoy. Then work it until you see success!
