7 Levels of Internet Marketers

If you want to jump-start your life and your business, you have
to know what type of Internet Marketer you are.
True financial success only comes to those that master this
concept. So ask yourself, "Do you know what kind of Internet
marketer you are"?
Have your marketing experiences on the Net been positive,
negative or mixed?
As you read through the seven levels of marketers provided below,
I want you to know that at various times in my life, I have been
at almost every single one of them. It was only as my knowledge
and experience increased that I was able to upgrade to the level
I am at today.
At some point while reading the descriptions of each level, you
will probably recognize where you are or where other people are
you know.
I recommend while reading you write down where you currently are
as you discover your level, to help improve your awareness of
your current strategy. This will also help you realize where you
need to go.
Here are the seven levels of Internet marketers.
Level 1 - The Mooches
The "Mooches" are people at the very bottom level of marketing.
They're clueless and sit around wasting their time. Most are
completely ignorant of the moneymaking opportunities available on
the Web. These people spend their time whining about their
financial status without taking the time to evaluate what they
need to do to get ahead.
Most Mooches don't have a clue about Internet marketing. If you
ask them what the Internet is for, they'll say, "to chat" or
"to e-mail friends" or even better, "to watch porn". You
know, something useless.
Lever 2 - The Wanna-Be
The "Wanna-Be" has ambition, but not enough. They wander around
in the dark looking under stones for a magic treasure box. They
want to make money, but don't have a clue how. They get sucked
into ridiculous scams and waste their money on garbage ideas that
won't get them anywhere. They need to get smart quick about
where they need to go to turn their life around.
Most Wanna-Be marketers have heard of the Internet and know
people who make money on the Net, so they are easily excited
about opportunities. Unfortunately they spend most of their money
on MLM and other moneymaking scams rather than chasing real
opportunities.
Lever 3 - The Pretend To Be
The "Pretend To Be" is living a lie. They pretend to work hard,
to do what it takes to get where they need to be. But they don't
actually DO anything. Most are perfectionists, worried about
getting it right the first time. They don't realize just how
much they can learn even by making a few mistakes.
Most Pretenders are waiting for the perfect time to start a new
business. They don't realize the perfect time is NOW. They talk
talk talk about starting an Internet business but lack the guts
necessary to DO IT. Many have successful offline businesses and
spend lots of their hard earned money attending seminars and
buying e-books about Internet marketing.
A good example of a Pretender is a successful overworked doctor
who spends $20,000 on info-products but doesn't develop a
website. The Pretender doesn't understand a key principle of
this industry... You don't have to get it right the first time;
you just have to get started.
Level 4 - The Newbie
The "Newbie" is on their way to the fast track, they just lack
experience. They have the desire to learn and grow, and may have
the skill and talent necessary. They jump into opportunities with
all the freshness one would expect of an eager beaver in the
industry. They have done some homework, but lack the technical
know how to get where they need to be.
There is hope for the Newbie. They feel excited and probably have
read a few books about Internet marketing. Unlike Pretenders,
they are willing to invest a lot of time in themselves. They will
buy resale rights, reprint rights, licenses of many products...
but lack the know how about how to market them.
Level 5 - The Marketer
The "Marketer" is well on their way to victory. They are making
some money. They are strong marketers. They still lack the
ambition necessary however to get off their butt and do what they
need to do to truly realize victory.
Most Marketers have a website or a moneymaker but don't have a
business. They posses a strong understanding of marketing,
copywriting and traffic generation and have a clear sense of what
their audience is looking for. They are often leaders within
their niche and make good money.
They enjoy a comfortable living. The problem is they are sitting
on their "ass-ets" and thinking what they have accomplished so
far is all they can do. They fail to realize there is more
opportunity available if they are willing to put in a little
extra effort.
Level 6 - The Master
The "Master" is a smart marketing agent. They are making good
money, and can teach others how to do the same. Most are
visionaries, charismatic leaders who have a good handle on
everything they need to succeed. They'll fail only if they stop
thinking about what more they can do. There is always more
success just around the corner, if only one takes the time to
look.
The Master marketers are millionaires, or at least making 6
figures a year. They are leaders in their industry. They are well
versed in direct response marketing and can teach others. They
have a vast amount of knowledge both online and offline and
experience working in different businesses.
Most have experience working with adversity. They are high
performance people who make great mentors. Most understand
traffic conversion and traffic generation.
The Master marketer can get into any niche and make money, even
if they don't have any affinity or experience working with a
niche.
They recognize the Internet is nothing more than a medium they
can use to make money. They integrate online and offline
marketing. They posses a solid understanding of copywriting,
testing and tacking. They build a team of experts around them and
delegate responsibility to talented people.
Level 7 - The Entrepreneur
This is where everyone should aspire to be. The Entrepreneur has
already achieved true victory. They are the models that others
try to mimic and follow. If you ask me, your goals should be no
less than achieving "The Entrepreneur " statue.
These are the multimillionaires, the master sales people and the
master marketers. They have a strong team of talented people with
different expertise surrounding them.
These are the people taking their companies public. They are
raising capital and selling to the public... to shareholders...
but not to customers.
They have an exit strategy in place before starting something
new. They recognize the purpose of a business is to sell it or
put it on autopilot so they can enjoy their lives to the fullest.
This is where you want to be.
Example: ebay.com, google.com, yahoo.com... etc.
So now I ask you... Which one are you? Which one do you want to
be? The people you know, which level are they at? Are they
realizing their dreams? Why or why not?
You have to ask questions, have a firm understanding of where you
are NOW and where you WANT to be soon if you want to succeed.
Don't just charge ahead blindly, but don't sit on you're ass
either.
If you want to succeed, take charge of your life and your
financial future. Find out where you are, and what steps you need
to take to be where you want to be.
