Work out some campaigns
You're always selling. A campaign is just a particular focus for your sales efforts.
How do I choose a campaign?
The campaigns you choose will depend on
1) Your creativity: To make money, you need to use your creativity to stay one step ahead. Have you found the niche no-one else has found yet? Have you thought of an angle that will make people sit up and listen?Keep a notebook, jot down ideas as they come to you.
2) Your strengths: Do you like talking to people, or are you more of an online person? If your strengths are more with web design and PPC campaigns, then basing your campaign on phone sales of Gold numbers might not work. But - for example - you might run a pay per click campaign targeting small businesses in the North-West of England.
3) Your interests and knowledge: Think about what you know of the world. Can you think of a type of person who would benefit from buying your products? For example,you might run a website for British expats, and identify an opportunity to sell dmClub numbers to its users.
Why should I think about campaigns?
There are three reasons why you should choose a campaign: focus, focus and focus.
If you're spreading your efforts thinly, chances are that you won't have time to put real effort into what you're doing. You'll risk doing lots of things badly, rather than one or two things really well. Results won't be so good, you'll get downhearted and your efforts will have been wasted.
But if you focus on just a few campaigns, track the results, tweak your work, analyse your progress and then ruthlessly prune campaigns that aren't working you'll be on your way to profit in no time.
Things to remember
- Get out there and have a go! An average campaign with energy behind it will do better than any number of brilliant campaigns done half-heartedly.
