With a new year and a new decade upon us it’s important to understand what we need to focus on and learn what we need to do in order to be successful next year.

“How do I do that when a lot of what I have done in the past hasn’t worked for me?”

Here’s the not so secret tactic that we all need to use this coming year in order to become more successful, and that “secret” is…

Learn from those that have been where you want to be in the coming year!

That is the single most important thing that you can do for your online business right NOW and in the New Year.

There are a few ways that you can learn from other marketers…

• Buy their products. When you purchase a product from them (like a home study course), you can learn A LOT, but you will also spend a lot of money, which is ok if you can afford it.

• Get a mentor/coach. This can be a great way to learn the insides of their business and it can really boost your own success… but again it can cost a lot to do it, but many times it will pay for itself.

• Get their products when they have a massive sale or decide to give it away. This is actually a very do-able tactic, as many big “guru” marketers are now heading towards selling their courses for very cheap, or even giving them away for free.

Hint: Grab Mike Filsaime’s amazing offer here before it’s gone.

But like the “hint” above stated, many times when marketers give away or greatly reduce the cost of their course, they often times will limit the availability…
… which means that if you want to learn from someone who has been where you want to be, you need to act quickly.

Don’t just let next year be the big year for you… why not START RIGHT NOW?!

P.S. If you have a few thousand dollars and can afford home study courses to learn from, by all means go and use it. But if you don’t and you still want to learn as much as you can, taking advantage of giveaway or free + shipping offers is the way to go.

There’s one thing that I always find interesting to think about, and that’s comparing offline big business to the online small business (Internet marketing), and how we as Internet marketers can incorporate offline big business ideas online.

One important area that any business needs to focus on is promotion/advertising, how to get the word out about your product or service. There are countless ways to do this, but one method I have thought about in the past was about the professional singer/rock star music CD’s and world tour concerts aspect of offline business.

We all know that rock stars can make millions off of their music CDs and their concerts, so how can we use similar principals to get our message out there like they do? Sure, we can go out and purchase a lot of offline advertising and spend millions of dollars… but how can we do similar things and keep it all online?

What I wanted to touch on in this blog post was the idea of going out there online and doing a world tour to promote ourselves and our business, like a blog word tour.

• How much exposure do you think we could get if we started showing up on all kinds of different web sites within our niche, sites where we normally wouldn’t have been seen?
• What if we spent a few months going from one site to another doing “concerts” like the professional musicians do?

Offline concerts help to expand and grow the audience of musicians, to reach out to more people and spread their product. Why can’t we do that online?

We can, and my friend Nicole Dean has just done that this past summer. She visited several different blogs within her niche and provided quality content to them, and the result of that was even better than she had expected.

You can see for yourself what Nicole did on her blog world tour, it was great to watch and see the following of people she had.

Consider going on your own blog word tour and see how much success you can get from it! Go here to learn all about it.
