The Folly of Being an Island

Internet marketing boasts a robust community.

Hundreds of other marketers are also trying to crack the code of online success and they are willing to share their ideas while exploring new perspectives along the way. Unfortunately, many new marketers tend to believe that they are better off keeping to themselves, staying quiet.

They may fear having their ideas co-opted or stolen.

They might just be worried about seemingly silly or uninformed within the community. Regardless of reservations, however, the notion of being an isolated island of a marketer is a poor one.

Take a moment and look at some of the biggest names in the industry.

 

Consider those Internet marketing gurus.

 

They seem to know everyone and everyone certainly knows them.

They are “out there,” networking, exchanging ideas, answering questions and even asking a few of their own.
If there’s one thing we all know, it is that we can take a lesson from those who have succeeded. By modeling our approaches, to at least some extent, after theirs we can usually find a faster route to our own success. If you are tempted to be an island, think about that and then consider copying the proven strategy of involvement.
