Hope you are on track with your online promotions this month.
Ok, here are the results for the survey that was sent to our list yesterday. I was expecting a lot more people to take the survey but ended up with 189 within 24 hours. Enough data to get a snapshot version of my subscriber’s ‘online goals’.
Here are the questions and response from this survey….
1. How did you get started with your online business? (What is your story)
This was a essay type text box answer, so I won’t be able to give you specific numbers. All I have to say is, I have read some very inspirational, exciting and also very depressing stories from people around the globe. Most of us start with very short term goals, (like making enough money to compensate for lost income…etc) – and that’s okay. But eventually, when we get confident enough about the potential to live our dreams, we start giving more of ourselves and commit to improvements. That’s the way it should be. Baby steps, but never taking your focus off of what your really want.
Thank you for all the inspiring stories.
2. Are you planning to work part time and make some extra cash, or are your planning to build a solid business and reputable brand for yourself?
[A] Part time for extra income: 22.5%
[B] Full time to build a business and a personal brand: 77.5%
That’s remarkable. For most people commitment to build a business, is the next step to feeling confident about the possibilities to reach their goals in life. But creating a personal brand is becoming even more important in today’s business world. It’s becoming more and more relevant to have a ‘personal brand’ even if you want to work for someone, get a promotion, and move up within a company.
How can you build that personal branding? Where do you start? The answer is ‘social media’ platforms. If you don’t have a ‘facebook’ profile page, or you haven’t spend enough time to fill out your profile page the right way, do it now. It’s a great place to start with your personal branding efforts. [here's mine].
3. How long have you been marketing online?
[A] 0 to 1 month: 17.5%
[B] 1 to 3 months: 5.0%
[C] 3 to 6 months: 10.0%
[D] 6 months to 1 year: 10.0%
[E] 1 to 2 years: 15.0%
[F] 2 to 3 years: 10.0%
[G] 3 to 4 years: 7.5%
[H] 4 to 5 years: 5.0%
[I] 5 to 6 years: 5.0%
[J] 6 to 7 years: 0.0%
[K] 7 to 8 years: 5.0%
[L] 8 to 9 years: 0.0%
[M] 9 to 10 years: 2.5%
[N] 10 to 15 years: 7.5%
[O] Over 15 years: 0.0%
As it did for me with this survey, a lot of things may surprise you when you do a survey. As you can see majority of my subscribers are just starting out (17.5% of them). So, I’ll be focusing more time on their issues from now on.

4. What’s your main focus online?
[A] Affiliate Marketing: 40%
[B] Network Marketing Online: 32%
[C] Full time blogger: 5%
[D] Sell my own products and services: 17.5%
[E] Offline business expanding to online media: 5%
Many people ask me this question. ‘Where is the best place to start online?’. I often tell them that it’s ‘Affiliate Marketing’. Why? As a small business entrepreneur working with limited budget, marketing and promotion is probably the most important thing to learn. You get to ‘learn’ how to promote your brand, and your website by being an affiliate marketer. The risk is close to zero.
So, there you have it. Marketing surveys gives you insight and it makes you a better marketer as a result of that.
