Getting a business education online is like a game

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

There are so many of us who had no clue about working online.  If you're like me, I initially got online just to have fun and connect with friends and meet new folks with similar interests.  When I finally looked around I was being educated at the most unexpected moments.  Boy has it been fun.

During the fun process I have learned so many things about working online.  One of the greatest things is that I will never know it all.  Working online will be an ongoing process.  Believe me, it settles my nerves in a big way because I'm a perfectionist and I want to know things yesterday.  The good thing about working online is that you can always log on and find out pretty much anything you want to know.  Another joy is most of it's for free if you know where to look.  Learning to find the free education is a learning process in itself.

Lastly as I finish up here, the best thing I have learned is how to actually find people who are looking for me.  What I mean is that are tons of people interested in what I offer through my business and I have learned various methods of helping them find me.  It's a lot faster than off line because there are so many people who congregate online in the same places expressing the same concerns.  All I do is use the tools I've picked up online which help people realize they have been looking for me when our paths cross.  It's not that much different than a person who goes into a retail store looking for a specific item.

The great thing about the internet is the people who finally find you are already convinced they want to connect with you because they have had a chance to do their own due diligence.  Here's a hint.  The more we help them do their due diligence, the easier it will be to finally connect us.  It's not necessary to be known all over the internet.  But it is important to be known in the places where the people looking for you can find out about you.  Believe me, people talk and when you get them talking about you in a good way, you've done your job.

Stay in the internet game and you'll get used to winning.

True. Many people feel they already know you from your web page, especially  if you have video, or write well and give useful info.  It's a fun game too!

Hi Ced-

We're on Twitter together and I'm so glad I saw the link to this post.

You're RIGHT!  We never can know it all, but we can find it all online.  Plus those few who may know it "all" won't for long becasue of the ever-changing nature or game of the web. 

One thing I've learned: there are some not nice people online who don't do business ethically.  Many people like that don't understand they are doing business with REAL PEOPLE and not just a picture on a computer screen.  Some will lie and belittle.  I guess it's not much different than the offline world, too.  {Sigh.}  From dealing with those people I learned to move on and continue to run my own business ethically, responsibly and with integrity.  That boosts my credibility and helps me continue to see even greater success.  Kinda like you!

Warmly,
