How to be aggressive in marketing your business?
Copyright 2004 Chris Brown
When you first see yourself learning about
earning an online income, or when you�ve made the decision to make money
with internet marketing, it can seem impossible not to notice the articles
and writings that go out of their way to warn you about the importance
of avoiding the internet marketing niche.
This may draw you in even more, or perhaps
you�re thinking that these authors are trying to prevent future competition.
I�m not sure about either of these things, but I do know that no one knows
the exact purpose for any given writing.
I think that many times, these authors
are simply trying to get across a message that says �Use the knowledge
that you have gained through your experiences in life.�
It doesn�t always make sense to take your
time and learn about a new field or a new subject when you could jump right
in and start selling what you know�
- BUT -
Sometimes it seems impossible not to.
Was it just me?
I was asking over and over if it was normal,
the way a person can feel that irresistible magnetism towards this �Niche
of Doom�. I found relief by answering �It�s ok to feel this way; this must
be why the niche is saturated.� � This might be true.
I know that if you being to learn about
the internet marketing niche, you will see an immense amount of information
and competition; this is unavoidable.
A sticky niche�
Day after day I said to my self, �Why are
you still reading about marketing marketing when you should be finding
a niche related to your life passions; you should be finding a �need� or
�pain� felt by some group or target audience that you already know inside
and out.�, but no matter what I came up with, I was always led back to
this sticky internet marketing niche.
I didn�t realize how much I was gaining
from this experience.
Insider secrets are everywhere�
Just like the niche market of internet
marketers is constantly growing, my knowledge about this magnetic subject
was growing.
I learned to look past the ads that were
screaming �make $10,000 this month�, and I began to actually put my knowledge
to work for my online as and offline business ventures.
I clearly realized that the �insider secrets�
of so many sales letters and products that had come and gone were surrounding
me; the countless forum posts and the myriad of great reading materials
that I had consumed was compounding.
For me personally, the most fascinating
secret of all was a simple one � something that should be jumping out at
all of us � that voice inside had begun yelling �Be unique; be creative.�
Insider secrets are outside�
Imagine what it�s like to have the realization
that everything people say about USP (unique selling position � unique
sales perspective) is powerfully correct. Add to that, knowing that you
have to build strong relationships with your partners, customers, and visitors.
Now, throw on finding flexibility in your ability to go with what works
and make changes for what doesn�t � This is the realization that �insider
secrets� are �outside the box� � Insider secrets are everywhere as long
as you have flexibility and creativity working on your team.
These kinds of thoughts and realizations
really pulled me towards telling others about what I was learning; this
knowledge was becoming organized in my mind and I was ready to let it flow.
Time to teach, Time to learn�
The little voice in my head kept saying
�Share your new learnings�, so I began writing about my online experiences.
With a background in helping people learn, I didn�t have the struggle of
learning to write. So many people go through this.
My subscribers send me questions about
writing; these are hard questions to answer. Usually, I tell them to write
like they�re talking to a close friend, but no matter what, I always remind
them that teaching is learning.
Assure your self that the process of writing
will bring a much greater library of knowledge than the initial reading
and research that leads the process of learning.
As you begin to share your learnings with
other people you will realize that you are multiplying your knowledge through
instructing others and writing.
I learned fascinating things from teaching
and writing about this doomed niche, and I was able to see the truth about
internet marketing � you�ve got to crawl before you can walk, and teaching
is running.
Conclusion
I�ll wrap this up quick by reminding you
to find a niche that you already have experience with � UNLESS � you�re
driven to learn about something new and driven to become a knowledgeable
expert on your subject.
If you�ve got that uncontrollable urge
to learn and eventually teach people about a subject then don�t let anyone
stop you. It�s your right to write.
