"If your on-line business dramatically went up the hill!"
Memo to the successful newcomer ... "
Hello, dear reader!
My name is Nikita Korolev, and today I would like to give you some small tips about how to behave, if your on-line business improved markedly, and you did not desire to burn because of some stupidity ruin everything. About these stupid things, or rather how to avoid them - in today's article. Incidentally, even if your case lately in any mountain will not go (and it happens to one reason only, and you will know what ...), read this note, you anyway will be useful, because who knows: will fall if it is your eye, when long-awaited moment of triumph finally come? ..
Generally speaking, I was forced to write its own bitter experience, as well as the experience of my colleagues, as well as the sincere desire that you have such experience was as small as possible. Believe me, I am perfectly familiar with the state of euphoria that comes to replace, say, a virtual depression: it happens when your resources are beginning to significantly and more rapidly than usual, to develop, with seemingly no direct effort on your part . Here everything seems to be clear: the shock to work hard at an early stage - then you can reap big (accent on the "about") benefits at lower cost. But few people realize that this time - at least for me - the most "successful" in order to screw up once and for all and to stay "with nothing", I mean nothing.
Nayperveyshy of the most destructive factors - it is certainly raging EGO. In the books of almost all successful entrepreneurs, the topic occupies a leading position in the sections "mistakes start-ups." Definition of the word "ego" You will not find in dictionaries, but its meaning is clear and so intuitive. Ego - is what makes a person selfish, alien to other people, inattentive to their requests and apparently carefree.
You see, novice, inexperienced, and usually cautious, partly fearful and often attentive to the advice of "senior", much less defeated Effects "star disease" rather than an entrepreneur who, say, exceeded their personal plan twice and now feels "on the top of the world "(" at the top of the world ").
This state - amazing for others and quite logical from the standpoint of the hapless businessman - is characterized by a kind of "voiceless" man: he is arrogant and proud, does not pay attention to those "below" and few people are generally respected. Here it is - raging ego! You know, I would not want that to happen to you, because what good is it, believe me, nothing.
I'm not saying that this is necessarily and immediately affect your business and income - possibly for a while and you'll "steer" with the full auto-pilot. But in dalnesrochnoy term - is a road to nowhere.
I myself was almost hit in its time trapped in a "let himself go ego, and too many friends, colleagues and partners," disappeared "in this way .... Just the darkness!
So what to do, to constantly monitor the situation and keep your finger on the pulse of "your own business?
Well, here's a list of the most common advice that you need to perform essential once your business has begun to yield profits (unless of course you do not burn with the desire of the business and its profits to leave)
1) Protect the sources of profit.
It's very simple. In each model, an online business is a key link that to a greater extent than the others, is responsible for the recoverable profit. For example, your mailing (ie, the majority of sales brings ads to be sent. Or, for example, you sell advertising space in the ezine, why and have a profit). Or, say, traffic from search engines. Or your personal forum, which serves a magnet for the target audience. So, in order not to be trapped, less experimenting and more attention is that "links" - the engine of your Internet business!
If you manage your mailing list, set a rule to make regular backups (backup) subscriber base. For example, once a week.
If your income forms the basis of traffic from search engines - do not get involved in all sorts of adventures such mass link exchange or automated registration site in directories 10000000 for 5 bucks ...
And so on ...
2) Less advertise their "secrets" and do not yell at each corner of the tricks of your business empire ...
It's all clear, even the kettle. It's like the joke about a psycho who fished in the bathroom, but when he was visited by a doctor, said that the fish are not there. Then, in a conversation with his friend, when asked why he did not say that the fish in the bathroom, he replied: "So what kind of fool fishery issues?."
Once again: if the "duty to their country" does not commit (like me) - so others know in your business strategies, not necessarily! And to you, respectively, not necessarily for them to tell.
3) Always make a backup of ...
This rule is very difficult to learn to observe, until a couple of times will not get a rake consequences of non-compliance on his own forehead ... The essence boils down to the fact that computers are equal to or later break down or give a failure - just deliver a lot of "nice" emotions. Because of this, we must at all times is very clear about what can cause loss of some information as you can go through and how this can be avoided.
I assure you, very little reflection, you yourself will come to the conclusion that it is better once to sit down and make a small archive of the most important system files, and make it a rule to make regular backup the most important databases - rather than one day lose it all without recovery ...
Answer honestly - to themselves - to the question: if tomorrow will burn your computer, your internet business will burn with it? If you answered "yes", then you should immediately correct the situation! Your business - is in danger!
4) Keep and maintain friendly relations with the "outside world" ...
No matter what heights you may have reached, it is important to remain aware and understand that all this could not be, if not need people with whom you have so wisely in his time fate brought. In any case not cut relations with those who ever helped you - business or advice. Try to be friendly and responsive, because as soon as you turn away from, consider that you personally buried the business.
The Internet is especially evident in relations with members of your affiliate program. I personally know a dozen is not very successful entrepreneurs who are simply "shrug" from our partners: ignore their questions and requests, do not respond to the letter, do not update the materials ... At the same time, there are a number of successful entrepreneurs who are tripping over themselves to their partners was beneficial and comfortable to work in a particular program. A comment? ..
In any case, remember that the more you give, the more you can (and can!) To get. You do not realize how important it is to have a network of allies - those who help at a difficult time, let you know if something will go wrong, time to inform or pokritikuet ...
I know - many infuriates reply to incoming messages: someone just lazy, someone tired to work the parrot, and someone just busy with "more important things." However, the fact is this: the more you ignore someone, the more and more ignoring you.
And it 1-2 hours a day to give its subscribers, partners and customers, I think everyone can.
As a result of this article, you can say this: even if you have made significant progress, they continue to do their job and doing it well. From this, after all, depends on your profit. And I do not think you want her to lose.
