Thread: Effective Marketing Requires Repetition

There are many ways to successfully market your business. Many of these marketing methods does not have to cost you a dime and they are just as effective as the more costly methods. But, if you are not consistent in your marketing efforts, the effectiveness of your marketing methods dissipates.

Think of your marketing as your way of planting seeds. The more you do, the more effective your marketing will be. I know it is hard; especially when you don't see results from all of your hard work for a while. Business has its ups and downs, you have to have the stamina to stay in and withstand the disappointments as well as the successes. When engaged in the business building process, the two, disappointments and successes, pretty much go hand and hand.

No one promised you that building a business was going to be easy. There may be exceptions, but the rule is that building a business requires drive and hard work. If you continue to put in the work and engage in your marketing continuously, your efforts will bring about positive results. Don't stop and definitely don't give up.

Good to see you back around, Lawren

Thanks Colleen. I have been extremely busy with my real estate investment business. Once things settle down, I will be back to posting. Hopefully it will be soon. It is currently wearing me down.

thanks for the advice, I going to try and stick with the marketing I am doing to see if it works in the long run.

Applies heavily to SEO as well. Nice post.

You hit the nail on the head. The number one reason businesses of any kind fail is that people do not plan for the hard work it takes and expects instant results. You see it all the time with webmasters where they are looking for the shortest easiest way to success. Long term success takes hard work and a heck of a lot of patience.

You are so right allout. It does take a lot of work and patience. But, if you want it bad enough, you will deal with whatever comes your way and keep moving forward.

Here is something I will share with all of you. It is something I read in an article written by Dr. Randy Pausch, who last week died of pancreatic cancer. HEre is what he says about "brick walls".

"Brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out; the brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. The brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough" - Dr. Randy Pausch

Found your post exactly when I needed to have encouragement. Thanks so much.

Good points w2b If it was easy everyone would be doing it, and the pay would suck! The reason the money is so good is becuase most people give up, and blame it on the program they purchased. Persistence, trial and error are major factors that will eventually lead you to success.
