Positive Actions Produce Positive Results
Wednesday, June 18th, 2008Positive Actions Produce Positive Results - In Internet Marketing Too
It has been a fact of my online business life that since getting started online that certain actions produce positive results.
That may not be the most profound statement ever made but it seems to be a concept that is lost on many people. 
So, if you aren’t getting enough web traffic to your site then you need to discover ‘why not?’.
If you have installed Google Analytics on your site then you should have a good idea of where your traffic is coming from. If you haven’t installed tracking on your site then you are missing a fundamental aspect of doing business online. Google Analytics won’t cost you a dime and is very simple to impliment so get that on your main page(at least) today.
Once you discover where your traffic is originating then it’s likely you will know what action led to those results. For instance if you look in your tracking logs and find that an article you wrote has sent you 20 visitors this week, then you can mark this action down as a positive action. It isn’t rocket science, is it?
If after blogging for a couple of weeks you find that your traffic has increased by 20% then blogging can be chalked up as a working tactic that is going to bring you more traffic and sales.
Where most people fail online is that they don’t do enough of what work for long enough. Or worse still they don’t ever discover what works and what doesn’t.
It’s amazing the amount of newcomers and even so called ‘pros’ that will pay money for an ad campaign and not track the results.
So here’s my internet marketing equation for today 
:
If Discovered Positive Action x 10 = 1 Sale Then Discovered Positive Action x 100 = 10 Sales 
Now get out there and get more work done. I think I’ll take some of my own advice
