Discover Your Passion: The first thing for anyone thinking of going into online marketing is to first identify the products or services to offer online. The internet is not a place where money is plucked off of trees. Rather it is a platform where you work, sell goods or services (and information) to those that trust you - and only then can you begin to earn some money. In order to earn the respect and authority you desire online, it is strongly advised that you go into what you already have a passion for. By doing so, even if you are not yet making the income you want, your passion for what you do will keep you going. This will definitely help you to become an expert (and identified as such in your niche) a whole lot easier. Doing what you have a passion for will encourage you to learn more. This will allow you to earn more money, and in the process, to get more followers and clients.
Start a professional blog in your niche: The fact that you know a certain thing very well does not mean you will start earning money or respect from across your niche. Earning respect has to do with showcasing your skills and what you do best. And to do this, you need to write out your knowledge in blog posts. Write! Write! And then, write some more! When you keep writing, in your blog posts, things that bring value to other people's lives and actually helps them out, your readers begin to respect you. They will become your followers and they will begin to regard you as an expert. Besides, your followers will push you to learn even more. They will ask you questions that will cause you do more research to provide them the correct answers to their problems. This push for you to learn more will translate into you becoming the "go to guy" in your niche! The expert!
Write for other professional blogs in your niche: This is very important because you do not get noticed immediately after you decide to enter the Internet Marketing business. Just because you set up a website does not make you an authority in anyone's eyes. The best way to get noticed is by guest blogging on already established blogs in your niche. You do not need to start telling people you are an authority (that is a big no-no)! You need to prove you are an authority by writing quality articles and putting a link to your blog or website so people can ask you questions. By doing this, readers of that blog, who like what you wrote, may visit your blog or website and ask you questions. This will increase your followers in the long run. Also, when people search for information in your niche, there is a greater chance that your article will come up on the search engines. Hence, you earn greater authority in your niche and you become viewed as "an expert."
Interview Experts: If you want to become an expert, you must learn from other experts. It is as simple as that. There is nobody who succeed in Internet Marketing by never interacting with others. You must find a coach that you trust. If you are just starting out, take the time to research and read articles by others in your niche. Just because someone says "I am a guru" does not mean they know how to help you. They may only know how to take your money by selling their products! You need to find someone who provides quality information on their blog site for free. They may have additional products, services or information they may charge for, but much of the information they provide for free should tell you what they know about that niche. If they provide quality information for free, the paid product should be even better! So, find yourself a coach in your niche you feel comfortable with and that you can build a relationship with. This will allow you to ask them questions if you run into a problem. You can ask them if they ever had this type of problem and how they overcame it. You should be able to ask them for advice and, perhaps, even do a joint venture with them in the future!
Attend Seminars: The day you stop learning is the day you start dying! Keep learning, attend seminars, read books and read other professional blogs. When you continue learning, you will always be on top of your game. Continuous learning will keep you abreast of current happenings in your niche and you will be up-to-date about new technology in your niche.
Stay focused: The greatest killer of any career is pride. Many people become egocentric when they attain a certain level of success in their niche. They begin to feel as if they "have arrived." However, this type of attitude will do more harm than good in the long run. Because once pride set in, you will begin to view others as inferior to yourself. You will begin to look down on other marketers, authors, seminars and books as inferior. This will begin to come across in how you interact with your followers. This will begin to kill your business and you will not even know why.
In the end, never stop learning. Never stop sharing what you know. Never stop writing in your blog (a major turnoff is to click through a link to read a blog and find out it has not been updated in several months). Ask for help from those you consider more knowledgeable than you in your niche. Visit other marketers blogs and leave comments. Ask if you can write a guest blog for them. Research your niche and stay up-to-date on the latest twists and turns and new technology. Soon, you will be considered an expert that others will seek out. This will help you to grow your online business even more.
