First of all I would like to mention, that this article is not based on my own experience only, but on some research I did in forums and ezines also.

 


There are many reasons why it is very difficult to succeed online, but most of the time, people do succeed in spite of having the odds stacked against them.

 

One of the most important elements for success online is to have an unstoppable mindset. The people who succeed in their online home business are always having a higher desire to success as compared to others.

.
One of the important factors to success online is to sell YOURSELF online.


If you don’t do that, you will never make it big online.


Here is why...


You can compare the Internet is to a large ocean. If you have a website, it means nothing. A website without traffic or a good brand is like Robbie Williams singing in his backyard without any audience. His songs are great, but if nobody notice him, how can he be famous and a born entertainer? The later one is what he wants you to believe... His way to sell himself!


So how do you sell yourself online?


Always focus on your strengths and talk about them often!
People respect authority and strength. So if you promote your strengths, people will take notice of you. What are you good at? Writing? Networking? Coaching? Let everyone know about it. This is you. If you do not believe in yourself, you cannot expect other people to believe in you.

Always give more than you receive!
People who are giving more than what is expected will also receive a lot! When people see in you a giver, you will gain a lot of followers and people will listen to you. Take a blog for example... when you talk to people about how to sell online, giving away a lot of free tips, this will help to brand yourself as an expert and people will come back for more information and tips!

Do not hesitate to promote yourself whenever you have a chance!
People who promote themselves, their own or affiliate products and programs dynamically and with a pinch of aggressiveness will always outdo the hesitant once. If you are afraid to promote yourself or your products whenever you have a chance, you will not succeed!

By understanding these principles, you will get your foothold on the net!

 

How do you sell yourself online? Would be pleased to hear from you.

Good post Eric,

a lot of people always shrink at the thought of selling themselves, because they find it hard to relate to the word "Selling". Some would say they are not trying to sell anything, but at the end of the day, they are. I believe in building a good rapport with people; get to know them and help when required. One of the methods I use to "give" back to others is through videos. Thanks for sharing this.

OU.
