Creativity and Determination are the KEY ingredients in all online success stories. So many times, as a moderator and participant in the net’s most active and lauded online marketing forum, The Internet Marketing Warriors, I have heard the same questions repeated by hopeful marketer after hopeful marketer. And mostly they begin with “How do I…?”
The Failure of the SEO System
I see people daily preaching about how web site owners need to pay upwards of $7,500.00 or more for a marketing consultant who also practices search engine optimization. The reason given for this is that any SEO can get you top rankings, but that will not help you sell your products. They preach that searchers have no trust, they say that getting a #1 position for your relevant keywords will only bring visitors, not sales.

Pardon my enthusiasm, but a large part of your small business’ success is somewhere else. Namely, out among the company’s important external audiences.
PR Failure Defined
I define public relations failure this way:
Failure is Not an Option
I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that online businesses — just like brick and mortar businesses — have a very high failure rate for startups. Ever wonder why that is? There are several business consultants, success gurus, and motivational experts who can tell you. The problem is: Most of us don’t listen.
Public Relations: Antidote for Small Business Failure
When small businesses fail, the wreckage is often assigned to undercapitalization, among other mistakes. Seldom is failure attributed to a lack of effective communications that might have modified the behavior of sales prospects in a positive way, thus averting bankruptcy.
Success Through Failure Don’t Make These Mistakes
Just like any business, automation is the key and the right product is the means. I’ve been running my own businesses for 10 years now and believe me when I say that you must plan first. Your plan doesn’t have to be elaborate but should consist of what, where, when and how. Yes, it will seem like a waste of time but If you start out on the right road you journey will be so much more pleasant.

In my view, raising money for new businesses is a skill best left to others, but smart, aggressive communications is not.

Ideally from Day 1, you must take the lead in this vital effort accepting the fact that good results come only after careful planning and implementation of a realistic and workable public relations strategy.
