Position Position Position – The secret to success online.

by: Quentin Brown

When you saw this heading you possibly thought of real estate or search engine placement.

While this is very applicable to these two systems I want to take youlittle deeper intoconcept of positioning yourself for success online.

Position is reallylife skill with its own set of stratergies and skills.

Position: A place or location. A strategic area occupied by members offorce. An advantageous place or location. A point of view or attitude oncertain question. Sports. The area for whichparticular player is responsible. The arrangement ofpieces or cards at any particular time ingame such as chess, checkers, or bridge.

Overpast seven years I have been involved in Internet Marketing. The first five as part time andlast two years full time. Many people asked how I madegraduation from part time to full time andanswer is always positioning.

The Concept of Positioning.

If you have played or watched sports at any time you will know that positioning iskey to winning or loosing. In football you need to be in position to acceptball if you are going score.

The same applies to your life and business.

My basketball coach always told me that I needed to put all my effort to get intoright position and once I got there I could haverest. I think you would know .... he lied. Once you get into position there is no rest as you then have to maintain that position.

Positioning isskill that can be developed:

It is very important to do your homework because positioning isskill that is developed by training and studying. It is nothaphazard occurance.

Last year I was looking atnew business I could start up online so I looked at what was growing and developing. In doing this I found that baby boomers areeconomic force incommunity and that they like gadgets, technology, investments because they are rapidly approaching retirement and health forsimilar reason.

I also found that streaming audio was becoming something that people wanted to use on websites withoutneed for special servers,lot of technical ability etc. In fact in my research it wasfastest growing multimedia tool people were looking for. So I went out and foundproduct I could develop to position myself inmiddle of this growing market. Hence was born MPthree Sound Stream that allows anybody to add streaming audio to their website easily and simply.

Positioning for life.

I know that we are mainly talking about business in this article however if you do not also use positioning in your everyday life then it will not flow over into your business. Success ismixture of both personal and business strategies and this is why so many people when they come into large sums of money loose it within five years and are back to where they started if not worse off.

They had not positioned themselves in life to handlepressures and responsibility of there new found wealth. This is possibly why many people who start working for themselves also do not make much more than they did in their job. They never re-positioned themselves.

Summary

As I mentioned before positioning isskill you can develop.

one. Find out what position you want or are capable of attaining.

One of my friends isgreat sales person. He sells welders and turns over millions of dollars selling this equipment. A few years agocompany he worked for decided that it would be better for him to trainlot of other sales people so they could do even more.

It turned out thatcompany actually sold less with more sales people becausepositioning of my friend to train people was not in his ability. The company actually went backwards so they repositioned him back into sales and re tookmarket lead again. His position was sales not training.

two. Take action and hold on.

Ininstant society we are all looking forquick fix however we all appreciate those who can maintainsolid position. I belong toonline MLM company and for four years nothing much happened however I knew that it was positioned for success. Today it is growing in leaps and bounds. Unfortunately some of my friends leftlittle too early and have missed out onbenefits of holding on. If you believe in what you are doing do not give up.

three. You don’t have to make millions to succeed online.

The concept of positioning is really all about strategies. Rememberold saying how do you eatelephant. A bite attime.

Positioning issame. You do itbit attime. First you learn then you apply. Then you learn some more and then you apply what you have learnt. By being consistent you will see it start to pay off.

Finally let me tell you one last story. While I was writing this article my son was watchingdocumentary onsalmon in Canada that migrate up river to lay their eggs. Some ofscenes where they would jump up waterfalls bashing againstrocks to get to their final destination impressed me. The point is they would either make it or die trying.

Now there are people who are going to make out that becoming successful online is easy and both you and I know this islie. Just likecoach who told me I could rest once I got into position. The fact is it will take hard work and there will be casualties however if you are determined to succeed you will havebetter chance of success.

Some people will just find this all too hard so my advice to you is takeeasy road and don’t start.
