In my last blog we looked at the first key to a successful online business – building relationships.  Any successful internet marketer will tell you how important this is.  Customers want to buy from people they like and trust.  Likewise,  later on in during your internet journey,  people will want to partner up with you because they like and trust you – referred to as JV (Joint Venture) Partners in the online business community.

In my last blog, I suggested you get started by signing up with twitter and facebook and I’m wondering how you are getting along?  Are you finding that you are gaining a following that is growing each week?

Or haven’t you taken action yet?  It’s important to remember that if you want your dream online business – unless you take action – you will only have it while you are sleeping.

“Don’t Chase The Money, Let The Money Chase You”

Alex Jeffreys (MarketingWithYou.com)

This is one of Alex’s mantra’s throughout the course.  This concept relates to how you build relationships and also it relates to why people will buy from you and it’s the second key to online success  – AddingValue.

Over time, as you keep adding value, people get to know and trust you and therefore, want to buy from you.

One way of doing this, and you will see the very successful individuals doing this, is to give away freebies – not crap stuff – but good quality products that meets your clients/customer’s needs and adds value.

You can create your own product or you give away someone else’s product (we’ll talk more later on about how you can make money doing this – it’s called affiliate marketing). 

On my TheSinglesGym  site, I give away a free 10 part e-course that I wrote. The customer signs up and each week for 10 weeks they receive a free course.  On top of that they get a free newsletter each month.  On my SusanneJorgensen site, you can sign up for Alex’s Jeffreys’ free List Building System.  Whichever route you take, you want to give value.

You can add value in small ways too.  I, for example, twitter a simple quote each day and it’s amazing how many people comment, thank me or share something similar.  If I read something someone else has posted on twitter – I share that – it’s called RT (re-tweeting). All you do is hit the RT -> button on their post and the post is shared with your followers.  You usually get a ‘thanks’ from the person you re-tweeted and that can often be the start of a relationship.

Another way to add value, is to visit other peoples blogs and leave comments that will add value to their business. You can also offer help or advice when someone asks – and that often happens on facebook or twitter.

So you can see how easy it is to start connecting to potential buyers and potential JV partners way before you even have a product.  Like-minded people who are attracted to you are more likely to buy your products than someone who doesn’t know you from Adam and like-minded internet marketers will want to do business with you.

By focusing on adding value – you will find that over time, as Alex Jeffreys’ says, the money chases you.  People will actually seek you out to buy your product or service.

Alex goes much more into tapping into the power of the social media in a later module – and it’s amazing what’s just at the tip of your fingertips.  I wanted to introduce the concept now and get you started a bit earlier and then we’ll revisit this and expand on how much more you can do to create a successful online business.

“Start Small, Think Big”

Alex Jeffrey’s (MarketingWithYou)

I you want a successful online business – start with the small steps, like I’ve suggested, all the while, thinking about your big vision.  Remember that  “the journey of a thousand miles, begins with the first step.”

Next time we’ll be looking at the 3rd Key To Online Success. Until then, if you haven’t started, get started now on building relationships and thinking about how you can add value to everyone you come in contact with . . . and watch your following start to grow!
