In my opinion, no matter what online business you decide to join, there are 5 essential building blocks that you must have/utilize in order to achieve success.
Here they are (in no particular order):
1) Tenacity - The ability to say, "I am going to succeed as an internet marketer no matter what, and I am never going to give up." Tenacity is the sheer will that drives you through the hard times even when everyone else says you will fail. All of the successful people in the world have it in common - they never quit! If they had quit along the way, the would not be the successes they are today. Think about it. The only way you cannot lose is to never quit. Tenacity gets you up early in the morning and keeps you up late at night.
2) Consistency - Consistency is king in internet marketing. If you miss a week, you can lose out. A little activity every day will carry you a long way. No matter what your goals are online, consistency will take you there. You must constantly be sowing in the Spring if you expect to have a harvest in the Fall.
3) Confidence - As I have said in previous articles, insecurity will kill your online business. Show confidence in everything you do, whether it be during a webinar with your new prospects, while mentoring your downline or whatever. Remember, people are looking to join with a leader. People don't buy businesses, they buy people. So it is really YOU that you are selling. That said, don't sell yourself short. Be confident and explode your enterprise!
4) Automation - The highest goal in online business is to achieve the greatest amount of success with the least amount of effort. That is where the internet comes in. Use it to automate, automate, automate!! Your goal should be to automate more and more of your daily activities with each passing week. Determine what you can and can't automate and then get after it. Some of the biggies here are:
1) Make sure you have an email auto responder that works for you 24/7 - following up with your prospects for you.
2) Set up a capture page that collects the contact information of your prospects and actively builds your list.
5) Leverage - This one goes along with automation and it is equally as important. The internet gives us the power to do both. Use leverage to spread your content across the Web as quickly and efficiently as possible. When you create a piece of content, don't just submit it once. Instead, submit it many times over - as an article, video, press release and as a blog, and blast it to a myriad of sites. This is leverage! Remember to also:
1) Leverage the work of your downline to make you richer. Do this by training your downline to succeed. This requires a lot of your time but it is well worth it.
2) Leverage the power of outsourcing. Outsource the menial tasks that don't make sense for you to occupy yourself with. This way it's twofold - you leverage the work of others by outsourcing, and you leverage your own time by focusing only on the most important activities like producing great content and training your team.
So that's it. These are the 5 things that have helped me the most. Tenacity, consistency, confidence, automation and leverage.
Take Care,

Hey , you have a very good blog, its excellent information in its field. You have done a great job, keep doing it for to help, people like Myself. I read many blogs earlier about this topic. But I never found complete information earlier, but your blog is giving real information. I also have several WordPress blogs. And in my experience social bookmarking, article submission and press release submission is way to quickly quickly get my blog posts spidered and am on page one of Google many times in a few hours.
