Keep On Keeping On

It's likely that we've all heard that phrase before at some point. It might even be something you heard from a motivational speaker or positive thinking guru at some point. Why? Because it works.

I market my business through a variety of methods. This website is one of many, many different methods I use. But today at approximately 10 a.m. I received an e-mail notification about an order placed on my jerky website. The e-mail explained that someone placed an order on my site and I earned a $21 commission as a result. How cool is that?

I use the power of the Internet to market myself and my business for free 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. My marketing is working for me whether I am sleeping, on vacation, at church, watching a ball game on TV, or out at the lake fishing.

It took me a little up front effort to get it going, but once I put in the effort up front the internet maintains my marketing presence for me. It's not hands off by any means, but I don't spend hours and hours a day or week maintaining it either. I don't even spend hours and hours a month maintaining it. I do add to it periodically and consistently and as a reward I receive those nice little e-mails when an order is placed for products.
