It Takes A Village To Succeed In Marketing

When one first sets sail in this voyage we call internet marketing, our hopes, dreams and aspirations are on overdrive. The adrenaline rushes at the expectation that we just might have a chance to make a go of it. We read, study, and put to use all of the things we are taught. We sit back and wait for all the money to start pouring in. Then reality sets in. We realize we are dishing out more and more money and we are taking in less or no money.  We start to doubt our company, our direct representative, and worse…ourselves!  We wonder what we are doing wrong.

Then we stumble across an article that this really cool person has written that explains to us what it takes to make it in online marketing. It takes (drum roll, please) A VILLAGE!  It takes a village of information to learn from to stay on top of our game. It takes a village of leads or prospects to trust us enough to buy our products. And most importantly, it takes a village of other marketers who are willing to help us brand ourselves through the use of a “Tribe.” This tribe syndicates our content, be it video, articles, or links. They often times offer words of encouragement.

The best village or “tribe” bar none is TSA (Tribe Syndication Association). This group of people offers a load of expertise and willingness to share your content to the masses. If it is traffic you need to your web-site….you need TSA.
