Supreme Marketing Confidence in 2012
As the first day of 2012 comes to a close with my favorite NY Giants minutes away from making the playoffs, I am excited with what the online marketing world has to offer me and millions of other entrepreneurs out there.
Now, do not take this to mean that turning your computer on will bring you financial success. With everything there is going to be a learning curve involved. Some will bust their humps and do what needs to be done to be successful, while others will sit on their tails and assume they are entitled to success and push blame on others for why they have not cracked the code yet.
It is with me busting my A$$ on the computer all hours of the night, that I have Supreme Marketing Confidence in 2012. I have put in the hours. I have read the pdf's and listened to the audios. I have joined the forums and listened to the guru's. And this has resulted in improved results in my blog views, ppc (pay per click) rates and affiliate commissions.
My goal is to not brag here, but but let you know that you do not need to re-create the wheel. You do not need to make up your own formula (though I did just come up with a good one ha, ha, ha that you can see here) when you can use someone else's that is tried and tested.
I do not want to put over the idea that I am a guru, though to someone just starting online, I might as well be as I have 3 years more experience than they do right now. I do not consider myself a guru in any sense of the meaning online. This is reserved more for the likes of Mike Dillard, daegan smith, Mike Filaime and many others.
It is with all the knowledge, tricks, tips and techniques that I have gained from these marketers that I have supreme marketing confidence in 2012. I know if I do "a", then "b" will happen (for the most part, though we can never predict 100%). I know that if I continue to blog, visit forums, help solve peoples issues, provide quality content, reviews and support, I know that I will continue to grow as a successful marketer.
When I first started, as expected, I did't have the slightest idea how to format html in my blog and now I am selling products on it. I did not know how to put a video on YouTube and now I embed it into my websites. I did not know how to use an autoresponder and now I have a few set up on various sites delivering content. I did not know how to add a signature into my posts and now I maximize where I suggest valuable resources or social media connections in most of my posts. As you can see already, there was a lot that I did not know a few years ago and now I know a lot more than the average newbie.
I have "supreme marketing confidence in 2012" because:
- I know I will make more affiliate commissions
- I know I will extend my social networks
- I know I will continue to provide more reviews and better bonuses for my readers
- I know I will improve my other websites
- I know I will continue to educate myself and learn to keep up with advances in marketing
- I know I will continue to use the advice of others for my benefit
- I know I will struggle at times bacause I have a grip on reality and know things are not always easy
- I know I will build my downline in the companies I belong to
- I know I will ask for help when I need it from others in the community
- I know I will continue to bust my A$$ until the wee hours of the morning on some nights
- I know I will have the right mindset to be successful

Totally loved this post David. Supreme Confidence – great phrase. I agree with you after being online since 2009 that I am no guru but I do have enough information to impart to help many other people. It is in this helping that we grow our business. I can tell you from the countless late nights and early mornings that the work that I’ve put in has allowed me the wins and successes that I’ve had. No, I’m not a guru either but I’m a mom that is working to help her family enjoy their life. Yes, sometimes the tech stuff gets to me and I’m pretty techy. Yes, sometimes things don’t work out 100% the way I want them to. I’ve learned to be resilient. I think that is an important piece of the puzzle. Mindset is critical. Keep up the good work!

Thanks VaNessa,
The phrase was actually from a recent email from out buddy Daegan Smith! I liked it so I went with it. As a father looking to help his wife stay home to raise kids, the late hours I have been putting in are starting to pay off! The way I see it, it will only continue to get better as I continue to work on it.

Great writing Dave. As a relative newbie (1.5-2 years), I’d say you’re in the guru zone. One thing I notice about those who are “getting it” is how they design their blog. The beginner is scattered, where the pro has it like this one with the banners on the right side. You’ve earned the confidence and I’m looking forward to more posts!
Glad you like the site design Jonathan. I look forward to continue providing you with valuable info. As a former Peace Corps Volunteer, one of our main goals was to “Help others, Help themselves” and when we can provide the means for others to take on the tasks themselves with training and resources we have reached a success!
