There is no instant in Internet marketing

I want it now! Is that how you feel when it comes to marketing on the internet? Probably! It is the way we as a society feel about just about everything. We live in an instant society. Instant rice, instant potatoes, instant breakfast etc. Now we also like to complain about the product don’t we? It’s never as good as the real thing. The saying is always “just as good as …”, right. But we can’t wait. We are driven by the now. It shows on our bank accounts and on our credit card statements. We can’t wait.
Well when it comes to internet marketing the same attitude is true and it doesn’t work here any better than anywhere else. Everything I have read other than the spam in my inbox says that to be successful in the internet marketing business it takes time. But I can’t afford it to take time. If I’m not making money by tomorrow then I’m sunk. I read some quotes on the internet the other day that were exactly on topic. Here is one of those quotes. "I lost my job a few months ago; all my bills are past due, and my house is being foreclosed on. I need to make at least $5,000 by the end of the month. Can you help me?" I feel for this guy and though you may not be in the same position you may have the same attitude.
I fight the same battle. I may have one advantage. I have had my own bricks and mortar business for 28 years and I not only know but have experienced the fact that it doesn’t happen overnight and that “it is always going to be work” but that topic is for another day.
I have a couple of online stores if you haven’t caught that by now and I would like to be making more by now and not having to work so hard to get them going. Does it really have to be this much work?
If you read my last entry in this blog where I was talking about social networking sites, this is for sure true, when trying to use them. They are good to use but they are for sure not instant anything. I have also learned not to ask for patience. It seems that when I do I get a good dose of not so pleasant learning. So sit yourself down and decide if you are in it for the long hall and if you aren’t then get out now while you’re ahead. That’s my advice anyway.
Now if you are looking for some great outdoor furniture than check out our two stores “Outdoor Cedars” and “Teaks n More” where you can get great quality at a price you can afford.
