Think Like An eCommerce Marketer

Remember when Dr. Pepper TV commercials starred Dr. Pepper Models singing and dancing about what it feels like to “be a Pepper.”

Well, being my own boss makes ME feel all peppery…

I think like a marketer and I’m proud.
I used to feel alone in a crowd.
Now if you look around these days…

There seems to be an “I’m a marketer” craze!

Oh… I’m a marketer, He’s a marketer, She’s a marketer…

We’re all marketers.

Wouldn’t you like to be a marketer too!

What’s the “How to Think Like an eCommerce Marketer” teleseminar really all about? In a word, magic. Marketers have the ability to make something out of nothing. How you use your magical skills is really up to you.

WARNING: This call is only for Awakened Marketers.

Have you noticed that any marketer pushing harder than you is an A$$HOLE while any marketer not making as much money as you is an idiot? George Carlin explained this phenomeon in terms of driving… “Ever notice how on the freeway anybody driving faster than you is an a**hole and EVERYBODY going slower is an idiot?!”

The key is to drive at the speed you feel most comfortable…

How is this a catalyst to your eCommerce store?

Have you ever noticed the difference in MINDSET between a successful eCommerce Marketer versus most Internet Marketers? Most people who call themselves “Internet Marketers” appear to me as rushing from marketing event to event. Sure they make brief spurts of profitability, but what they do one day often actually undermines their future profits!

What works for me is going slowly, making incremental improvements that build on each other to create a long-term, sustainable business.

The Work At Home Diet

This isn’t a recipe, nor is it specifically eCommerce related. This is personal advice from one work at homer to another… take advantage of your situation and take care of yourself.

You no longer have that half hour commute in the morning – sleep longer or do some exercising. Don’t wake up, head straight for your email, then park yourself for the rest of the day. That’s not good for you. Make yourself a healthy breakfast AND lunch. You have access to your kitchen now, no need for a daily peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

I know a lot of people who work from home and many of them have the same habits as they did while working at an office. Part of the joy of working from your home is being able to do things you couldn’t when you were on someone else’s time schedule. It’s very easy to get wrapped up in your business (because it is YOUR business) and it can easily take over your life in ways most regular jobs won’t.

Don’t let it.

I’m not suggesting your shirk your responsibilities or take a cavalier attitude toward your business, far from it, I work everyday and not just for a couple of hours. I know what it’s like to be consumed by it, when I first started I would spend as much time in front of the computer as my poor, tired eyes would allow. I didn’t even like to stop to eat, I would make a quick sandwich or microwave meal and eat while I worked.

That is not healthy.

Even if you can’t stand to be away while your’e eating, at least take the time to make something good for yourself. Of course there are still days when I get lost in what I’m doing or I’m busy with a project and a hurried meal while working is the best option, but that is rare. If you’re constantly tied to your computer, your home business won’t be fun and rewarding as it should be. And if you let it, it will take over.

Enjoy the benefits of working for yourself otherwise running your home business will be just as bad as working for someone else. Own your business, don’t let it own you.
