The world of internet marketing can often feel like a roller coaster ride, filled with exhilarating highs and disheartening lows. As someone who was raised in the South, I was taught that a proper Southern lady should never have a public heart attack. However, the thrill and fear of internet marketing can sometimes feel like it's testing that rule.
Just like the slow, steep climb at the start of a roller coaster ride, the initial learning curve in online marketing can feel long and slow. Many people are eager to reach the top quickly, focusing solely on the peak and ignoring the valuable lessons to be learned during the ascent. However, those who take the time to savor the climb, absorbing all the knowledge and experience around them, are often better prepared for what comes next.
Reaching the top of the roller coaster ride is akin to making your first sale in internet marketing. The view from the top is breathtaking, and the sense of accomplishment is exhilarating. You've made it! The slow climb was worth it. But just like a roller coaster, what goes up must come down.
The rapid descent of the roller coaster mirrors the inevitable sales slump in internet marketing. There may be days, even months, without another sale, leading to feelings of depression and disappointment. But just like the roller coaster, the ride doesn't end there.
Once again, you find yourself on a slow climb, learning more, and applying what you've learned. This time, when you reach the top, the descent isn't as steep, and it doesn't last as long.
Eventually, the roller coaster ride comes to an end. Despite the initial fear and nervousness, you find yourself eager to get back on and experience it all over again. This is the essence of internet marketing. It's a series of slow climbs, exhilarating moments, and depressing descents. There are peaks and valleys, successes and failures, times of abundant sales and times of drought.
The ones who don't succeed in internet marketing are those who rush off in search of another short-lived thrill when the ride ends. The true winners are those who embrace the peaks and valleys and eagerly get back on the ride, time and time again. As George de Buffon once said, "Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius."
