Internet Marketing and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Marketing PositioningAs human beings and Internet marketers, we can learn some important life and business lessons from nature's ..... I was just thinking about something I'd like to share with
you, and hopefully it'll give you something to think about
as well. I was remembering when I took a motorcycle riding
safety class when I was 23 years old. I had no previous
riding experience, aside from a bit of mountain biking with
a 21-speed, and I figured it wouldn't be too much different
going from that to a motorcycle. Yes, it gives me slight
grin now, too.
Boy was it was crazy, I couldn't have been more wrong! I
imagined myself just climbing on and riding off into the
sunset like a pro. But when the time came and I actually
sat on the bike for the first time and rode a few hundred
feet, it was quite an eye-opener, to say the least. I felt
like I was 15 years old again, with a driving permit in my
wallet and my mom in the passenger seat. Those familiar
emotions were running through me again -- apprehension,
confusion, excitement and fear -- only this time I had more

Sure, having driven a manual transmission car for many years
did help control the motorcycle, but it was still pretty
foreign. But with time, practice, and making plenty of

second nature. And even now, after all the experience I've
gained, I'm planning on taking an advanced riders safety
course.
This reminds me of internet marketing. Maybe you are just
starting your first online business, or maybe you are on to
your second or third and are now marketing those. Where
ever you are at, the amount of business experience you have
will vary from most everyone else; but here's a fact no
matter how long you've been doing it: if you don't practice
internet marketing, it will never get any easier.
Internet marketing is just like learning to ride a

thick of it, people may tell you "Oh, it's so easy!" or "All
you have to know is this, that's it." Even when you think
about the steps and procedures beforehand, you can convince
yourself that you have it all planned out and it'll go off
without a hitch. But once you actually do it, you get that
much needed reality check.
Internet marketing isn't something you can just "do" and get
right the first time around. Yes, it is important to take
advice from professionals you trust and who are where you
want to be, and to read their eBooks and what not. But it
is much more important to actually get out there and do it
yourself. Guru's can point they way, but they can't give
you experience. To be successful at internet marketing, it
takes focus, concentration, and especially practice.
