Money is always a hot topic, and for good reason! No matter where you go in the world, people are busy trying to make as much money as they can. While some prefer to achieve this goal actively, others choose to do it passively by joining the investing community. If this sounds like you, then you’ve come to the right place! In this article, I will tell you about three things I wish I had known before I started making money online.
1. Become Familiar With The Digital Nomads’ Journey
In the beginning, when I decided to try my hand at online marketing, I didn’t know much about the industry. Not only do you have to learn the basics, but you also have to dig deep into the research to figure out what is working and what is not. A lot of trial and error, and a heavy workload later, I found my sweet spot where I could finally generate some decent income from home. Soon after I started making money online, a friend of mine suggested I read a book he called The Digital Nomad’s Journey. In it, he shares the ups and downs of running a digital nomad lifestyle and how to make the transition smoothly when the time comes.
2. Keep Practicing And Improving
In the beginning, when I was just finding my feet in the online marketing industry, I felt very nervous about making any major changes to my strategy or approach. After all, I had spent the better part of the past year building my online business based on what I knew at the time. However, eventually I learned to believe in myself and my abilities, and I started experimenting with different things to see what would work best for me.
For instance, when I first started out I noticed that guest posting on other websites would attract a lot of interest from potential customers. So, I decided to try it and wound up getting featured on several different blogs. This led me to add more and more blogs to my portfolio, and I eventually started gaining a reputation as a trusted source of information thanks to all the guest posting I was doing. In the end, it was all about finding what worked for you and sticking with it.
3. Focus On User Experience (UX)
One of the first things you will learn as an online marketer is that users are king (or queen). No matter what product or service you are selling, you have to make sure the experience of using it or interacting with it is as good as it can be. Since my business is online marketing, I get to dive into the details of creating a good user experience (UX). When it comes to our websites, we always focus on the features, the content, the design, and the graphics. However, there is another variable that determines whether or not a user has a good experience – human touch!
What does this mean? Well, you can definitely have the best looking website in the world, but if the users aren’t having a good experience, then it’s not worth much. This is why you need to put in the time to learn how to interact with your users in a way that makes them feel cared for and valued as customers.
To give you an idea of what a good UX looks like, take a quick look at some of the highest-rated websites in the world. You will notice that they all have one thing in common – they focus on the needs of their users. In addition to that, they provide a fantastic experience by ensuring that everything is easy to understand, easy to find, and easy to navigate. To sum it up, a good UX is about providing value and creating trust.
The Bottom Line
In the world of online marketing, money is always a relevant conversation piece. Whether you are discussing whether or not to purchase a product, or whether or not to try a specific service, money is always on the tip of your tongue. It’s good to want to make money quickly and easily, but before you do, you should consider learning from others who are already doing this that you can copy, or at least use as inspiration.
