As Geneva Gallander discusses in her sessions on Goal Setting, without Goals you end up with Wishes. Expanding on that theme, without organized and disiplined Action you end up being unable to accomplish your Goals. So you need both Goals and then Action. To reach or achieve a Goal, especially in marketing, you need a plan and you need to follow it daily, weekly, monthly and beyond.
* Step 1 - make your Goals:
As mentioned in the Goal Setting material, make Goals. Write them down. Review them constantly.
* Step 2 - make Plans:
First thing you need to do is set up your marketing tools. Review this website to find everything you need to join or download for yourself.
* Step 3- take Action:
Once you have your links, join venues. Save your login information. Download tools. Set your ads up or your links. In the case of the Submitter(s), you have many steps to accomplish before you can start sending to the lists. This will take time.
* Step 4 - make a Schedule:
Setting up all your resources will not happen in one day. But they need to happen so you can use them. Make a schedule and take the time to set everything up so you can use the tools.
* Step 5 - market Daily:
Many venues you need to access and use daily: traffic exchanges, manual postings to stand alone safelists, postings to Safeadlist, Group Marketing, Pro FFA email submissions, and FFA link postings, are among those things you must do yourself every day. Those who have access to the Auto tools like the Rank Enhancer and Auto FFA submitter should ensure those tools are turned on daily. The bottom line in any successful marketing endeavor is to take action daily. No one can do this for you - that is something that is only in your hands.
Those using the GW Xtream List Manager must monitor the activity there daily in order to keep up with your Leads and lists.
Some venues only require bi-weekly attention, others monthly or every 6 weeks. What ever the tool, you need to USE them to develop leads, sign ups and sales.
It is natural to blame lack of success on The Program. Truth is, lack of success usually happens because you did not have the tools or did not have the knowledge on how to successfully use those tools to your advantage. Xtream ensures you have tools and training. Once you have all this in your hands, YOU need to put all this to work for yourself. To do this efficiently, make your Goals, set a schedule, and then take ACTION.
