There are many business online success stories, where a company is doing terrible in offline marketing and then goes online to make a killing with their online business.
It's most definately and artform, and your business online success depends on studying the correct materials, courses both online and in person in the form of seminars will give you the upper hand in this area.
For me to help my consulting clients to succeed online and offline with their strategic internet marketing efforts, I have to study and stay ahead of what's going on in the world of online and offline marketing as well as studying life, business and spiritual success books, courses and live events of the well know digital marketing experts and offline marketing / business specialists.
Plus, by puting these principals and webmarketing strategies into practice myself, I'm developing my own business online success case, so I can prove to my clients that it can be done and that I myself can help them get to where they wish to go in their online or offline business.
Over time your business online success will get greater and greater, as long as you just keep moving forward with your business and working on it, rather than in it once it begins to bring money in.
The secret to this is, use the profits of your business to educate yourself greatly, then re-invest that knowledge back into your business and then into outsourced staff so that you can leverage your business to great proportions, with very little of your own time.
If you wish to use outsourced staff you can find them on websites such as, elance.com and guru.com, and also by typing in outsourcers in google.
Before too long your business online success will be thriving and you'll be another testimony to the many great courses that are on the internet and offline. But be warned, you need to know who to study and how to pick the correct courses, I've listed some below who are very trustworthy and leaders in their fields.
Some of these courses are by the great Cory Rudl at the online marketing center (I've learned a lot from his "Secrets to Their Success" case studies), Rich Scheferen of Strategic Profits, Michael Port who created "Book Yourself Solid" brand of books and courses. All these experts are internet marketing consultants in their own right and well worth studying from as they are who I consider them to be the cream of the crop.
Plus there are many courses you can look for online, just by typing in a search in google.
One last point you may wish to consider, and this idea can add several layers of revenue to your existing online business, and is the online way of selling other peoples products and services.
It's called affiliate internet marketing and with this specialized area, you will hear of many business online success stories, all stemming from the affiliate marketing arena.
It is true that affiliate marketing is a very good source of income, if you choose the right products and affiliate partners, as affiliate signup processes are free (unlike conventional franchise / business opportunities) and it's just as easy to pick a program that doesn't convert, as to one that does.
However, you will find out what is good and not, by reading reviews of affiliate programs online and searching about affiliate program reviews online.
You can also learn a great deal about affiliate marketing, and how to do it correctly by signing up as an affiliate yourself at some of the well known webmarketing guru's programs. Basically they want you to succeed at selling their programs online and they'll give you some excellent "free" training to do so in their affiliate programs, so there's one little tip worth thousands to you, as long as you take it, learn from it and implement it.
One of the best affilaite and marketing programs I've ever come across is Site Build It, to learn more about it, click on the banner at the bottom of any of my pages, that says powered by site build it... Go ahead and join their affiliate program, download their free information and courses and immerse yourself in their teachings. This is exactly how I got started in internet marketing, then it just made sense for me to build sites using thier expertise, step-by-step know how and awesome technology, that just seems "to work".
