The 10 Commandments For Being A True Internet Marketing Leader

If you want to be successful in an Internet Marketing business, you need to be a good leader. If you need work in that area, work on improving yourself and building those skills. Here are some tips for being a true leader.

1. Respect Others

If you want to be a good leader, you need to respect other people and treat them fairly. Abstain from using harsh words, and take care when giving criticism to your downline. Respect means that you have an interest in your downline members and that you want to see them succeed. Respect will improve your image dramatically.

2. Be Encouraging

You are a mentor to other people, so you should praise your downline members when they work hard or accomplish a goal. They will respect you more and work harder in the process. Create a positive environment for your downline. Be encouraging, and they will excel.

3. Build Trust

You are a leader to other people, so you need to be honest and trustworthy. If you are dishonest you lose your credibility, and it will only tarnish your reputation. Be responsible and honest with the people you do business with, and they will respect you for it.

4. Be Positive

Nobody likes to work with someone that is negative. A leader should have a positive outlook. If you are a negative person, you will only attract negative attention. You want your team members to feel appreciated. If you act in a negative manner, than you need to change your attitude and behavior.

5. Support

If you want to run a successful business, you need to give your downline the support that they need. They should be properly trained to do their jobs effectively. Make sure there is someone they can go to when they have a problem or concern.

6. Ambitious and Hardworking

An effective leader is ambitious, hardworking, and driven by success. If you have these characteristics, your downline will follow your example. Work hard and you will accomplish everything you want, in time.

7. Compassion

People will respect you more and be more productive if you are caring and compassionate. Show your downeline that you value them, and they will respond favorably.

8. Persistence

A successful marketer has persistence, and keeps on moving. You don't let obstacles distract you and you keep reaching for your goals. You don't get discouraged or give up on your plans.

9. Thick Skin

A good leader has a thick skin, and doesn't break easily. You might encounter negative people along the way. You have to know how to deal with criticism in this business.

10. Vision

Lead the company with your ideas and plans. You should have a vision or a plan for the business. What goals do you want to reach and how do you plan to attain them? Work hard, and as a team, to achieve those goals and you will find success.

Be there for your downline. Treat them with care, respect, and compassion, and you will earn a good reputation with people. Be supportive and educate your downline, and you will find success along the way.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.

Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
