Polishing Internet Marketing SkillsFiled Under Blogging, Internet Marketing, Keyword Research, List Building, Marketing Tools, Online Marketing, SEO, Viral Marketing The blog went up, the posts began, and then I disappeared. So what happened? Well, I had to shift gears momentarily and work on my internet marketing training goals. You see when I left the corporate sector with a commitment to hang my own shingle I had no idea what I didn’t know. What’s the old saying? You don’t know what you don’t know. I think that’s it. Well that’s me. You see I spent years partnering with merchants and creating direct response marketing campaigns. I know all about building campaigns that deliver a positive ROI and selling businesses on partnerships. So what was missing? Quite frankly, it was the nuts and blots of internet marketing. When you have a staff to supervise, you can hire experts to manage every aspect of your business and focus your energy on the areas you excel. However, as a beginning entrepreneur what I found is that I knew little about the operational parts of running an internet marketing campaigns. For example, until I posted this site I had never posted one. So why bother? Well when I launched my copywriting/consulting business all the calls were coming from the internet marketers who desperately needs writers to supply content for their sites. As you know I am already an accomplished writer but felt in order to deliver better value to these prospective customers I needed to understand their world. Unlike the kids hitting the scene now, there was no such thing as internet marketing when I was going through school. So I have been spending part of my time learning this stuff. My goal is to evolve the business so that it reaches a stage where I feel comfortable farming out some of this stuff but I don’t feel comfortable doing that until I learn it myself. I want to have a safety net in case my help moves on. The good news…I’m almost there, yeah! If you are anything like me don’t get discouraged or give-up.
