Internet marketers are a great bunch of guys and girls, and I’m always learning something new from each of them. I think the collective knowledge of this particular group of entrepreneurs is amazing, and I absolutely love being a part of it, and can’t imagine how I could have neglected it for so many years!

A great many of this group share some very similar habits, and I’m positive that it contributes to their success in this industry. I’m going to share my list of seven, but by all means feel free to add your own to the list!

Habit #1

The first habit I notice that we all seem to share is curiosity, and an exploring nature, a need to know as much about the subjects that we are passionate about, and we will go to lengths to learn as much about the subjects that make up our chosen profession as humanly possible. If you were to look at a group of a hundred internet marketer’s bookshelves (and EBook folders) you’d notice several of the same books being found on many of them. A thirst for knowledge is the first habit many of us share!

Habit #2

The second habit we all seem to have in common is the ability to take action. In a world that is filled with too many ideas, and roads to success, and where information overload is a word that lives in our dictionary, we still manage to take action, and put our ideas into motion in the hopes of propelling our businesses forward. When we make mistakes, we choose different roads to move forward on, but we learn and keep moving forward. We know that if we create a certain amount of momentum we will keep moving forward despite the obstacles or mistakes that may come our way. The ability to take action is the second habit we share!

“When you’re that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can’t really tell whether you have created the momentum, or it’s creating you!”      ~ Annie Lennox

Habit #3

The third habit we share is the ability to set goals, to write them down and make them real to ourselves long before we ever achieve them. It is this foresight of what things will one day look like for us as well as our businesses that keeps us moving when all others seem to be against us, and tell us that it can’t be done. We know that many of us before have done things that “Couldn’t be done!” despite the fact. Seeing what our success will look like, and setting those goals that lead up to it is the third habit we share.

Habit #4

We are builders! If you stop and watch an internet marketer throughout his or her day, you will see just how much he actually builds, and maintains. He is constantly building websites, backlinks, social networks, and assets in the form of blog posts, eBooks, video’s and podcasts. The number of hours that go into all the things an internet marketer builds would astound most people who come to the internet for the quick riches that they heard lie under every new product that promises to tell you the secret formula for making money online. Building assets is the fourth habit that we share.

Habit #5

We are great observers, we are constantly keeping an eye on the blog down the road, or the internet marketing guru who holds an Alexa rank of 2000 to see just what he’s doing right, so we can emulate those things, as well as avoid the one’s he’s doing wrong. We have campaigns in many different arenas with names like CPA, PPC, Opt in’s, bounce rates, and dozens more that we monitor and tweak until we get them perfected. Split testing is part of our lives, and while it’s a chore we still do it, and watch the results closely because we know the difference between a 0.8 CRT, and a 2.1, and just what it’s worth to us. Monitoring our progress or lack of in all our different metrics is the fifth habit we share.

Habit #6

We persevere, when things get tough, which they generally do many times, and in many ways before we find some small measure of success. But the reason that they become successful at what they do is that they don’t give up when they are kicked. When things don’t go their way, they research what others have done in similar situations, and if that doesn’t help they brainstorm, ask their peers, and finally as a last resort if there is no other recourse, they will start over if they have to, but they do not give up. When things are at their hardest, and success seems so far away, that is when they redouble their efforts and push forward twice as hard as before. Habit number six is perseverance!

Habit #7

We share the wealth, whether it be In the form of informative blog posts that we write day in and day out, or the sharing of methods that we have developed and spent countless hours cultivating until we are able to make a profit with it, one thing you’ll find with most internet marketers is that they are willing to share, both in wealth, and in knowledge and resources. Many go on to coach and teach thousands of others to do what they do, make their living online, the right way!

This post was written for all the internet marketers that I have met up until now, and all the one’s I’ll meet in the future!
